Extremely Pretty Dress for Summer May Be Made of Plain and

Patterns From Which to Choose.

A very pretty and summary dress of
plain and dotted organdie achieves fine
style by combining these familiar ma
terials. Organdie in cottons, as taf-
feta in silks, has proved peculiarly well
adapted to the styles of today. The
originality of the model lies in combin-
ing the plain and dotted surfaces so
that they play parts of equal impor-

goods in the same way.

URGES VENTILATION OF
SCHOOLS.
Scholars Should be Given Fresh Air.
An Adequate Constant
Supply.

Des MOines, September 20.-With
the opening of the public and paro-
chial schools Of the state the de-
partment on tuberculosis OF the
Board of Control, is exceedingly anX-
ious to impress upon teachers the i'm
portance Of the proper ventilation
and sanitation of school rooms. Much
has already been accomplished by
boards of education in the recon
struction of school buildings with a
view to an adequate and constant
supply of fresh air to the scholars
during school hours. Teachers very
generally have acquainted them
selves with those simple methods b,
which, in the absence of artificial
systems OF ventilation, they are able
TO keep supply of good air in the
school room. The educators OF the
state have been giving very general
attention to this important phase of
school management, and because OF
tkis, much is being accomplished in
The reduction of respiratory diseases
OF one kind or another, including tn
Derculosis. 1t would be well where
medical inspection in the schools is
not maintained, for parents TO have
their children thoroughly examined
with special reference to the eyes,
ears, nose, throat, teeth and espe-
cially the chest cavity. Many physi-
cal defects which impair children's
health will be discovered and remov-
ed. This will go far toward keeping
the child well and properly adjusted
TO his school tasks. 1t is desirable
as winter comes on that particular
attention shall be given to the impor-
tant matter of school ventilation.
Remember that fresh air is neces-
sary to good health

QUALITY VERSUS QUANTITY.

Many housewives make vital
mistake in choosing some of their
foodstuffs on the basis of quantity.
1t has been proven time and again
that the cheapest is always the mos,
expensive, while the highest price Is
not always the best.
There's happy medium in every
thing. When you select foods, be
careful. Don't choose any particular
brand of, say Baking Powder for ex-
ample, just because you can get big
can for small price
The risk you take in running your
entire baking and losing the cost Of
the materials involved is not any
where equal to the small amount
saved on the price of the Baking
Powder.
Then again, because the price is
high, don't think the quality is the
best Some women do, and they are
losing money.
Lock for the happy medium. You'll
find it. Choose a brand that costs a
moderate price and you'll find it more
economical to buy and more economi-
cal to use.
The best Baking Powder in the
world can be made so as to sell for

The new features of the corn crib
are, OF course, its rectangular shape
which allows convenient ten foot

Insertion OF concrete pilasters in

this pressure. The driveway through
the center may be used at times for

There is pit to hold the grain. ell

FRESH COUNTRY EGGS,
$1.00 A DOZEN.

This sign may be displayed by
Washington dealers before many
weeks, according to those who buy
and sell eggs and others who pro-
fess to know the inside of the mar
ket
The prognosticators of evil base
their prediction on the fact that
fresh country eggs are now selling
for IS cents a dozen, as compared
with "a cents a dozen this time last
year.
Local egg dealers say the present
price is destined to be boosted con-
siderably. unless receipts of consign-
ments are materially increased with
in the next few days.
As. a result of the rapid rise in
price scores of lunchroom proprie-
tors here have increased the price of
egg sandwiches from to Z cents
each.
The eggs cost them cents and
they figure the roll and butter and
cooks services are worth at least 8
cents more.
Country eggs are now bringing
from 40 to ~ cents a dozen whole
sale and from Al to As cents retail.
Seconds, or small sized fresh eggs,
are quoted at Sc to 40 cents whole
sale and III to 4 ) cents retail.
Cold storage eggs are selling at
"a to SO cents wholesale and SO to
40 cents retail
Washington dealers say the de-
mand for eggs is more than twice as
great as the supply. They are I'M
able to explain the shortage and con-
sequent high prices, The, present
quotations are nearly on par with
the highest price asked for eggs dur
ing the coolest weather last winter.
While some local dealers express
the belief that storage interests
which bought eggs for II and Is

gotten a corner on hen fruit, others
