How to Stop Bleeding From . Cut In
the Simplest Way.

ger so badly that you have difficulty In
checking the flow Of blood and per-

How to Remove Iodine Stains and Ink
Smears From Linen,

Iodine stains are removed from linen
by rectified spirit. To take ink out of
linen use essential salt of lemon made
by taking an ounce Of oxalic acid in
fine powder, mix with four ounces of
cream Of tartar. You must be careful
as this is poisonous if swallowed. To
remove the ink wet the finger in water
then dip it in the powder and rub gen
tly on the spot. The stain will disap-
pear without injury to the fabric; then
wash the linen in pure water.

New Ribbons.
Bold effects confront one from the
ribbon counters nowadays. The latest
ii ribbon fancics show vivid u!aids
and unusual color combinations in
stripes. The reason for such is evident
When the number of sports styles is
taken into consideration. One could
never use dainty lowered or figured
ribbon for sports girdle, tie or vest
but these huge plaids and striking
stripes are just the thing for the bright
sports suit or dress Of solid color.
Some of the ribbons even go so far as
to combine stripes checks and plaids
in one pattern.

AN EARNEST MAN.

How can any man be weak
who dares to be at all? Even the
tenderest plants force their way
up through the hardest earth and
the crevices of rock, but a man
no material power can resist.
What a wedge, what a beetle,
what a catapult, is an earnest
man! What can resist him?-

Now is the time to be careful.

The city election is on Tuesday,
April 8, only eighteen days from
now, yet the matter Of selecting
the mayor and three councilmen
to be elected has been given only
passing notice. Wake up voters.
Bestir yourselves. Baxter Springs
has got to have a good council.
Right on the eve OF q big devel-
opment and with the opportunity
to grow still more If the city is
properly managed, it is absolutely
necessary that the next city
council should be made up of
capable and progressive men,
men who will recognize the city's
needs and take steps at once to
provide for the such needs. A
caucus has been called to nomin-
ate a ticket. Attend the caucus
and do your part toward giving
old Baxter the right start toward
the 10000 mark in 1920. We
can make it too if we don't abso-
lutely chase away the people who
want to come here, by continu-
ing to deny them the modern
improvements that all cities in
this day must have.

HORSE DISAPPEARING
FROM fire SERVICE
More Than Hundred Has Been De,
crease in Past Few Years.

Within three or four years, accord
ing to a statement Of the office Of the
chief engineer of the District Fire
Department, the old fire horse In this
city will be a matter of history.
At the present rate, the motor
driven appliances, in use at the pres
ent time in the department. are dis
placing the old horses at a rate which
will soon put them on the list OF the
has beens."
There are now 1877 horses doing duty
on the Fire Department in the Dis
trict, while hve years ago the Books
of the fire department showed that
there were nearly 300 horses used In
the service.
Motor trucks, this year will displace
30 more of the horses, and according
to the estimates made for next year,
nearly 80 will no more answer the
little bell.
Within a month from this date, four
hose carts will be displaced by autos,
one new auto pumping engine, three
tractors for attachment to the front
of steam fire engines, and motor truck
will be on the rolls of the fire depart
ment.
The disadvantages of the horses and
the advantages of the motors have
led to the change in traction power.
The horses must be fed whether they
are woring or not, the auto eats gaso-
line only when it is doing its duty.

MEETING, TO BE HELD
BY COLORED CITIZENS

"The Committee of 100 Colored Citi-
zens on the War" has been at work
in various ways. since its organization
last April, aiding the national gov
ernment in organizing and mobilizing
the resources of the colored citizens
for effective service in the conflict
against Germany and her allies.
This committee was instrumental in
having a large number of colored citi-
zens, in. many parts of the country,
purchase liberty bonds: 1t aided ma
terially in getting young colored men
to enlist in the volunteer and new
armies of the United States, and IT
is now cooperating with the Food
Conservation Commission. 1t is also
encoura ging the colored male citizens,
who are too old to enlist in the army.
to join the Home Guards and the
industrial army.
This committee will hold a meeting
at the Y. NJ. c. A., 1916 Twelfth street
northwest, at $50 o'clock tonight. DIR.
w. A. Warfeld, captain of a COM
pany of the Home Guards of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, will be present, IL
he can leave the Exemption Board
meeting in time and address the COM
mittee.

MOVE ON VIOLATORS
OF Army DRY Law
Three to Be Arraigned on Charges
of Selling to Soldiers.

The first vigorous effort by the gov
ernment to prosecute alleged vendors
of liquor to soldiers in uniform Will
be made this morning in Police Court
when Patrick J. Cook, Georgetown
saIoonkeeper, August Wolfe and
Richard Clancy. all Of whom were
arrested in Cooks saloon last month,
will face Judge Pugh before jury.
Attorney James O'Shea attempted
to have the information against the
three men quashed. yesterday. but
Judge Pugh overruled this motion, as
well as one made for a separate trial
for each of the defendants. The gov
ernment will be well represented as
efforts are being made by United
States Attorney Laskey to stamp out
the practice of selling liquor to soldiers
before the offenders become too nu-
merous.
The outcome Of tomorrow's proceed
ings will go far to determine the
course of action with the seven other
defendants all charged with a like Of
fense and whose cases will doubtless
be heard this week, unless. the trials
become a long drawn out affair.
