ATTRACTIVE CLOTHES CLOSET

How to Keep Your Garments Spick and
Span.
The appearance Of the clothes closets
Is one Of the tests Of good housekeep-
ing. They may be made as attractive
as they are often unattractive If the
housekeeper will give them little at
tention.
One good closet which presents good
appearance Is unusually convenient and
has some excellent ideas for keeping
dresses from the dust. 1t has a pole
the entire length of the closet.
On this are hung large number
Of coat and skirt hangers, covered
with silkaline. The owner says that
1t is just as well to use silkaline as
silk, and it is less expensive.
Attached to the hook on each hanger
and gathered closely to 1t is a bag of
the silkaline as long as dress.
The bag Is left open at one side to
slip the dress into 1t, with ribbons In
two places to tie the bag together. and
sewed across the bottom so that the
bottom of the skirt or the train, where
there is one, will be protected.
Every garment has its own special
hanger and bag for protecting 1t from
the dust. At one end Of the pole are
the common dresses, and they graduate
on to the better dresses and those for
evening wear at the other end Of the
closet. When dress Is taken Off 1t
is placed at once on hanger and fire.
quently hung before an open window
to be thoroughly aired.
If It is evening when 1t Is removed
1t hangs before the window all night;
then in the morning, If another is to
be worn, the first is placed in the
closet in its proper place on the pole.
The owner can go to the closet in the
dark and at once find any garment.
When shoes are removed they have
shoe trees inserted while the shoes
are warm, and flannel cloth Is kept
in a convenient place and the dust
rubbed off. which requires only a
moments time.
The shoes are then ready to be worn
the next time. and they are kept in
much better condition than when the
dust Is permitted to remain on them.

} HOW TO AMUSE THE BABY
WITHOUT TlRING YOURSELF.

1t Is a great mistake for any
one to be constantly amusing
quite small children. They will
amuse themselves very well II
left to do so and not be so tired
as II a strain Is always kept up.
1t Is a great thing to let baby
crawl on the fisor. Never mind
II he does tumble his pretty
frock. Let him have a holland
pinafore In which he may enjoy
himself. SOmetiAles a child de-
clines to creep. To encourage
him to do so get crawling car
pet for him. This can be made
almost Of any material. Brown
crash for summer or white felt
for winter Is very suitable stuff
/ for this purpose. Having cut
out carpet as large as the
! space at your disposal where the
baby may safely disport himself.
hem 1t nicely all round and then
cut out the pictures Of the ami
mails he likes best In red flannel
and sew them around the Dor
der.
The larger the figures are and
I the more lifelike the better will
! they be liked. 1t is often very
amusing to see what efforts a
child will make to reach the ami d,
NAL he wants and how quickly
he recognizes the likeness. The
baby will laugh and crow at the
enjoyment he derives from this
simple arrangement
If the carpet is made of wash
ing material it must be lined or
doubled to give 1t proper firm
ness, but white felt or, better
still, flannel Is the most suitable
material to use. Patterns Of an
imals may be purchased already
cut out. and when they have
been prepared they can be fas-
tened on the flannel by button
} boiling them firmly in place. 1t
is q mistake to sew them too
closely together, as this rather
confuses the child. Let baby
} take a little exercise In the eff
fort to reach the animal he
wishes to play with.

How to Make a FIabby Skin Firm and
Smooth.

II the skin on the face or throat Is
flabby you will find salt massage of
the greatest benefit. This will make
the skin firm and strong. Just take a
half handful of salt and rub 1t into the
skin-not too hard. for the roughness
Of the salt will redden and irritate the
flesh, but gently and evenly. After q
soft but thorough salt massage wash
the face Off with cold water.
The action Of the salt, whether used
dry or In the bath, is to enliven the cir.
culation and to stimulate the nerves.
This in turn makes the skin clearer, the
color better and the general surface
firmer and smoother.
Salt as a tooth powder is also at its
best, for It whitens the teeth and har-
dens the gums.
When salt Is such an aid to health
and beauty and Is so very cheap, every
bathroom should hold 1t.

How to Disinfeot a Siekroom Without
A0v ChennicaIs

The best disinfectants ever invented
are pure air and sunshine. A sickroom
well ventilated after the close Of a
case; the bedding, carpets, rugs and
so on exposed to the blessed sunshine;
plenty of soap and water for scrubbing
up-these factors will, for most In.
fectious diseases, be all the disinfec.
ton necessary.

the restless deer

The days grow shorter, the nights
grow longer;
The headstones thicken along the way;
And life grows sadder, but love grows
stronger
For those who walk with us day by day
The tear comes quicker, the laugh
comes slower:
The courage is lesser to do and dare.
And the tide of joy in the heart falls
lower,
And seldom covers the reefs of care.
But all true things in the world seem
truer,
And the better things of earth seem
best,
And friends are dearer, as friends are
fewer,
And love is all as our sun dips west
Then let us clasp hands as we walk to-
gether,
And let speak softly in low, sweet
tone,
For no man knows on the morrow
whether
We two pass on-or but one alone.

TIE Loss Of Ebert HUB
bard.

Not many newspapers have COM
mented upon the death of Ebert Hub
bard, who with his wife, lost his life
when the Lusitania was sent to her
doom byss a German submarine. 1t is
on moral grounds that people hesitate
to speak well of him. Be this as it
may, for the same reason one must
Danish much in poetry, fiction, art and
in all the fields of higher endeavor
Many men and women are weak and
howsoften one has noted this in charac-
tiers which have left an imprint on the
world. Hubbard had force and all ad-
mire that attribute. He may have
been hereto, yet, what he wrote was
bright, was original. He had the Hub
bard way of saying things, else he
would not have been so universally
read. He preached success and sun
shine. He was ever and always an
optimist and thousands were sent on
the road of right living by his messages,
it was impossible to always
agree with him, although his philosophy
was not of an accepted standard, yet
he made theIworld think. Many recall
his lecture in Baraboo, many have read
his Philistine.and Little Journeys, and
these cannot but feel that the world
sustained loss when the lecturer and
author of East Aurora was engulfed by
the restless deep.

Making q Road House of
KiIbourr.

Commenting upon the caper cut by
a Baraboo young man in Kilbourn and
the payment of fine after his arrest,
the Events of that place says:
I'm all fairness to ourselves and our
neighbors it may be permits sible to say
that the practice of auto parties of
young men coming across to Kilbourn
for Jolly good time" is growing. 1t
is quite likely that Kilbourn will be
able to preserve order in the village,
but the greatest danger seems to lie in
high-speed return to Baraboo. The
effect of auto parties of FIVE or more
young men, more or less intoxicated,
tearing recklessly along a one-tra OK
road can be imagined, but it will not be
realized until there is an awful accident.
Auto speeding on the streets of Kill
bourn in the future is quite apt to be
made an expensive luxury, but there
ought to be some way to make life
safer on the Kilbourn- Baraboo road.
People who do considerable travelling on
that road complain of reckless speeding

TWO Municipalities
BREAK ABOUT EVEN
(Kendall keystone. }

Emil Pasch of Black Valley German
who has piece of land adjoining the
farm of Henry V errier (French) went
over there to see about things, taking
Frank Green with him. There they
held joint debate, which developed
SO mach caloric that later Verrier had
Pasch and Green arrested for saying
rude things to him. Before Justice
Wellge, Pasch pleaded guilty and paid
fine of So and costs, in all about Sill.
Green was discharged. Pasch then had
Verrier arrested for threatening to
rush his trenches. Verrier pleaded
guilty and paid the same fine and costs.
So the two compatriots of the greater
belligerents of Europe broke nearly
even, the odds, if anything, being in
favor of Germany, as the French side
had to pay the costs of Green's arrest.
Both sides are resting on their arms.
1t is expected, however, that the
French side will soon assume the often
sive again, as it is said preparations
are being made for fresh drive.

will be eliminated
Each bridge is to be composed of two
Orders and two have a % foot clear
opening. The tracks are to be raised
one foot so that there will be clear head
room above the surface of the lake.
This will give clearing of one foot
more than at present.

Does His Duty W ell.

If all cities the size of Baraboo had
such excellent schools as this munich
pality, they, indeed, would be fortu-
nate. Much credit is due to Superin-
tendent A. C. Kingsford and the su-
perlative corps of teachers. For five
years the superintendent has labored
early and late, theoretically and in
dustriously, to improve the schools and
he is being rewarded. The high school
building has become social center,
largely due to the work and influence
of the superintendent. The debates,
efforts of the Choral Union and the
talks before the Monday Night club
have surpassed previous years. The
Third ward, too, has developed a strong
club through the influence of the
teachers and patrons of that bailiwick,
assisted by Mr.. Kingsford. Fortunate
ly all of the members Of the high
8 chool faculty return next year, ex-
cept one, and this vacancy will be filed
by an experienced teacher from the
Sparta schools. Mr.. Kingsford has
enforced discipline splendidly, has play
ed to no favorites and has not devIated
from what he regarded as his duty.
AS an example of fairness, courage,
maniness and ideas for the good of
the whole community, such a worker
lis Of inestimable value to any town.
