Miss Lovely is highly appreciatiye
Of the honor conferred upon her, and

How to Keep Bulbs All Through tho
Next Winter.

NcNt VviukcT.
Cannas. dahlias and gladioli are all
classed as tender perennials or, in
other words, plants that live and
bloom year after year. but are unable
to withstand the cold winters because
freezing of the root or bulb destroys
them. These plants may be allowed
to grow until the first heavy frost
comes, killing the foliage, then atten-
tion should be given them at once.
The tops of cannas and dahlias
should be removed about six inches
from the roots, the roots dug and the
loose soil shaken out. Let the roots
dry few hours I'm the sun and then
place them In permanent storage,
which should be In cool, dry place.
A place suitable for the storage OF POI
tatoes win he ideal for these bulbs.
Gladioli may be dug just as soon as
the tops are dry whether there has
been killing frost or not. Let the
plants lie I'm the sun to cure for few
days. When the stalk is dry cut 1t
off to within an inch Of the CORN.
When the roots are thoroughly dry
place them in fat trays anywhere out
Of the reach Of frost. They may be
stored with the Gamma and dahlia bulbs
very satisfactorily.

HOW
To Keep White Furs Clean

DO not, however. ever attempt TO have
them cleaned with benzlne or gasoline
by any one but an expert, as II Is not

may seriously inJure the fur. A per-
fectly harmless way OF cleaning the
furs yourself IL by means OF sawdust
Secure sawdust that is made from as
porous woods as possible. However,
any clean sawdust viii do. Have plen-

into the fur. allowing II TO remain on

Is out Cornmeal IL also effective, but
the sawdust is cheaper. and this is a
consideration when one has to use 1t
frequently. or course the sawdust or
cornmeal should be used but once, as
1t comes away carrying dust and soil
Furrlers frequently use hot sand to
clean furs and this Is very good too.
For the girl at the seashore 1t would
be an excellent idea to get quantity
Of pure, clean sand for this purpose.
Professional furriers sometimes have
sort OF mechanical arrangement con-
tanning heated sand, In which the furs
may be gently kneaded about. The
amateur can simply heat the sand In
the oven and then rub 1t into the fur
thoroughly, as she would the sawdust.
OF course the sand should not be ex-
cessively hot. 1t should never be hot
ter than can easily be manipulated
with the hand.
If furs have been wet or damp they
should never be dried rapidly. They
should be arranged so that the fur is
evenly exposed to the air and left to
dry thus In the open. When thorough
ly dry they should be shaken into posi-
ton. Never use a comb or brush on
furs, II shaking will not restore the
original smoothness to the fur gently

Scotch, Irish, Dutch, Danish and AZ

American marine. 1t was an easy
task. These marines fresh from the
turmoil and instruction in Santo Do

them. They would have had nothing

WILSON TO PUSH
STIFF FOOD Law
Conference With Gompers
Ends With Promise of
Immediate Action.

Washington, June 11.-Early enact
ment of food legislation will be insist
ed upon by the administration, it was
made clear today after a delegation OF
labor leaders and congressman called
upon President Wilson to ask that he
go before congress to urge action on
the administration bills.
Samuel Gompers. who headed the
labor delegation, said afterward that
the president was in full accord with
the opinion of the labor leaders that
food control is essential at the earliest
possible moment. No statement was
made concerning the presidents i'll
tention in regard to Il special address
to congress.
Bill Now In Conference.
The first food bill, designed to slim
ulate production, has passed both
houses, but is held up in conference.
Today, the second or regulatory bill
was reported by the house agriculture
committee after the provision giving
the president power to fix maximum
prices had been eliminated. The ad-
ministration, it is understood believes
that the purpose of the clause can be
accomplished under the boarding
clause. The minimum price feature for
farm products was retained.
The regulatory bill, as reported,
makes the president food dictator with
power to authorize some agency to
carry out provisions of the law. The
intention Is to create "A food commits

head. The measure gives the widest
powers and would permit government
