Soao an Antiseptic,

Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement of epidemic diseases In
recent years. are sufficiently free from
professional Ties to attribute this bet
termeut of conditions not to medical
science, but to the increased use Of
soap and water. Many medical author
tiles hold the opinion that with clean
house and clean person no one need
have much fear of infection. A writer
in the New FORK Medical Record says ::
Soap is now recognized to be anti
septic and 10 be efticacious must pro-
duce u lather. Bacteria rubbed into
soap or dropped on its surface are In
capable Of multiplication. The typhoid
bacillus is very sensitive to soap, being
killed by ) per cent solution In a
short time. More than half the total
number will die III a minute. The
thorough use OF a pure potash soap is
not only mechanical method Of cleans
ing. but is an active favor in cutting
down germ lie Exchange.

Aluminium and Oxygen.

Aluminium is in many ways won
derful substance. albeit in the natural
world most OF it is oxidiZed and turned
to clay Its avidity for oxygen Is one
of its most salient characteristics. 1t Is
said that one never sees the metal, dt-
rectly, IN air. but always and only
through a veil of superficial oxide
which forms on its free surface with
marvellous rapidity. 1t Is stated that If
a fresh surface Of aluminium be pre-
pared by scraping with a knife the
oxygen Of the air runs in as fast as the
scale is peeled off and keeps close be-
hind the knife blade.
If it were not for this superficial
scale Of oxide. which acts as a barrier
to further action, the metal would burn
up or defagTate in air. The large
amount of heat developed by HERMIT,
q mixture of powdered aluminium with
oxygen giving substances. bears wit
ness to the activity Of the oxidiZlng
process when CompIeted.-W Washington

Very Newest Woman

In these autumnal days, when the
summer girl is at the transition
stage precedent to the development
Of the winter girl. it is interesting to
note what the fashion prophets are
saying about the very newest Wo-
man. And here's what one woman's
page authority SayS-the new Wo-
man is to construct as to clothes,
millinery and the general makeup, on
the theory of looking boyish-" Age
cuts no figure, nor heftiness. nor
measurement around the waist line.
Eighteen summers or forty-elght,
sixteen inches of beam or forty-slX.
it's just the same-the big idea is TO
dress on the theory OF looking boy
ish.''
And if in addition to looking boy
ish she looks militant, it is all to the
good. The theory about headgear is
that it must be severely simple or
else gorgeous as to trimmings in a
way that sees the high record of the
past two decades and raises it. The
severe simplicity scheme fits in with
the boyish makeup idea. There is
certainly no boyish suggestiyeness
about a hat covered with tropic bird
plumes or with artificial orchids.
Now this scheme of framing the
strictly up-to-date woman so that
she will look boyish--it isn't likely
to be hit with the average male
critic, not even if the makeup is on
the model of a sissyboy And as to
looking well-this war is
a bad thing and it will be blessing
when it is rightly ended The Ameri-
can woman is patriotic and willing
to do her bit, but it really, truly is a
sad turn if the newest woman is
proposing to turn to militant clothes.

Takes Issue With
The Water Company

Mr.. Editor:
| notice a long article III your
paper from the President OF TN
Water Co., relating to water rent,
which. as d property holder, | WISH
to answer in a friendly spirit. Mr..
Woolford seems unmindful of the
fact that the Water Co. is a servant
of the householders of the city, and
not their master. What he says
about the property being responsible
for water rents is true. when owned
by the cities, but not when owned
by individuals. The Water Co. has
no more right to demand OF the
property holder to guarantee pay
ment of water rents for his tenant
than the groceryman has 10 demand
the payment of his grocery bills.
There is quite a difference be
tween tweedle dee and tweedle dunn.
It's as you look at it from dlYl-
dend angle; it has much different
appearance than if you see it from
its true side. They are enjoying
valuable privilege given them by
propertyholders of the town, with
the understanding that for the priv
ilege of the use of our streets they
are to furnish good water to any
householder who asks for it, and
give the town ample water for fire
protection Instead of the Water
Company making demands, [ think
it we'll timed for the property hold
ers to sit up and take notice, and
make Il few demands themselves. l,
for one, want to take this oppor-
tunity to notify the Water Com
nany that | shall not be responsible
for any water rents for any tenant
of mine While l do not wish to
hurt any ones business, yet | think
when that business is interviewer
with the welfare and comfort OF not
only me and mine, but the whole
city, | would be false to my citizen
ship if | did not sound a warning of
danger created by the provision
made by said Water Company to
carry out their side of the contract
between themselves and the people.
/ believe that the breakdown at the
water station at the foot OF Mill st.
is opportune. What would become
of our property if a fire had broken
out during this breakdown? What
would happen to us ii the main
across the creek should burst?
There is no provision made against
such a contingency. Just imagine
if 1000 people should wake up in
the morning and not have enough
water to make cup of coffee, and
not a we'll or any other means in the
CITY 10 get drop Of water. There
are always two sides to a question.
| have been told. but do not know
it to be true. that the stock of this
company has been Watered TO four
times its original value, and pays a
good dividend on that inflated value.
If such is true, it reminds me of a
good strong baby Shaping its moth
er because he don't get as much
milk as he thinks he ought. | be
lieve a laborer is worthy of his hire,
yet | don't believe he is entitled to
big pay if he don't do his work we'll
| think the citizens of the town
should call a meeting and demand
that proper provisions be made BY
the water supply Of our town. II
there are others of the same opinion
I would like to hear from them.
Respectfully yours,

STREET CROWDS IN MOVIES.
Strategy Used 70 Keep People Franz
Spelling the Effect.

Spelling the Effect.
Street crowds are VIGOROUSLY diff
cult TO handle for the movies. They
will never 90 what you want, and even
when you are sneaking them there Is
always some smart Aleck in the fore
ground who insists upon looking into
the camera snd cracking his foolish

The ideal Kitchen.
The kitchen Is the real workshop Of
the family. Most Of the work there
has 10 do with preparing food for the
family, cleaning it up and putting 1t
away. The old fashioned kitchens
never took into account economy bf
steps and time, but today this Is a.
ways done. There is a logical order
for the arrangement of the equipment.
Things that belong to each process
should be together, within the reach
OF the worker. The iceboX, cold pan
try, kitchen cabinet. stove and serving
table are used together aud should be
in a close continuous line. This is the
food preparation side of the equip
ment For the cleaning up Of the same
economy should be practiced. The sink
should be near the china closet or In
buffers pantry. the track should be
stra light for clearing up. Always have
plenty of table room near the sink. A
drain board on each side is the best
plan, or at least set of hanging
shelves, hinged shelf and extra Ia

This Rubber Situation,

We as people are almost absolutely
dependent on Great Britain for our
supply of crude rubber as the great
plantations are largely controlled by
British capital. There are several pos
sibilities for making us independent of
any other country for our crude rubber
supply. one is q plant called guayule.
which is even now being successfully
raised in this country and which has
been successfully raised i'll Mexico.
There are several other rubber bearing
plants also which might be raised in
this country. But the largest field
seems to be the Philippine Islands,
where plantation rubber can be pro-
duced chtal!y and well. Capital has
held off. owing to the uncertain future
of these islands, but local conditions
there are ideal for Il large rubber In

Saturday from New York, where he
spent nearly two weeks on business.
says that he talked with number OF
prominent bankers and business men
while in New York and that all with
whom he talked agreed that if the
United States gets into war with
Germany business will not be disturb
ed at all, that the country is in such
sound shape financially that declara-
tion Of war may be expected to cause
only a momentary jar, if any jar at
