Household" is to be the subject of an

keepers Alliance tomorrow. The meet
ing will be held at 2:30 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon at the Mason House,
] soc goth street northwest.

Domestic Sphere Extended.

ut is an extension to the domestic
sphere of efforts being made by the
government to establish authentic
sources of information as to prices and
cost" Mrs. Mcdonald continued. This
is necessary. both to business and the
home, in view of how cost of living
affects at once human happiness and
the cost of production: the latter
directly through the medium of wages
and the former as the home makers
best efforts are subject to the relation
of income and outgo of money in house
keeping.
Continuing. she said:
Cost accounting in business. of
course. refers to the cost of making
and marketing commodities. With ac-
curate knowledge on this point it be-
comes possible. and only thus does it
become possible. to know whether
prices are too hisl or not. Similarly
is cost of living to be determined.
Household accounts should be more
than mere showing of the prices of
things consumed in the family The
processes whereby these things are
converted into elements of life need to
be accurately known and estimated
Womans labor insthe home is big
item of cost of living. for instance But
the whole matter of cost of living is
first of all determined by what it is the
nome and family are organized to pro-
duce. This being known and stated,
prices and the cost of things must be
shown in this connection.

Senate Leaders
About Pet Bills

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Cummins did not press his resolution
today to set aside TING in the senate
for discussion of Presiden. Wilson's
peace address and the senate got to
work early on appropriation legisla-
ton.
President Wilson in his conference
with Senator Stone and other demo-
cratic senator's at the White House,
last night, discussed his address in a
general way. There was discussion
also of plans to prevent any concerted
effort to sidetrack important legisla-
ton with long peace debate at this
time, but the main purpose of the
conference, it was said today, was
to clear the way for harmonious leg
islative action between now and
March 4. The improbability of get
ting through his railway labor pro-
gram as originally proposed was
pointed out to the president as well
as poor prospect OF water power
legislation.
Tonight senate democrats will con-
slider all these subjects in caucus.

At Last! A Perfect
Way to Whiten Teeth

A woman's beauty is completely spoilt
by stained. unhealthy or broken teeth,
and a. smile which ought to be such a
beautiful thing should reveal an even row
of perfectly white teeth. But, unfortun-
ately. few sets of teeth are really white, for
the simple reason that brushing with the
usual dentifrices Is not an effective means
OF removing stains, and so many dread the
periodical visit to the dentist to have their
teeth scraped.
All teeth are covered with thin films
or "placques" which are bound to be-
come discolored in time IL only the ordi-
nary tooth powders and pastes are depended
upon to keep them spotless. Many have
learned. however, that what is known to
the drug trade as "ayatol' is a veritable
wonder-worker in removing the brownish
or grayish films from the teeth. Also that
once removed. stains and tartar will never
return II this peculiar substance Is used
daily 1t can be had In convenient tubes
and just little need be put on the tooth
brush. Avatol does not scratch the enamel
and, indeed is so harmless, as well as
pleasant tasting, that It Is the best thing
for children to use also.--Advertisement.

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it>at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
at once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the observation-disclosures.

An actor whose name need not be

wife, generally at table, when he de-
sliberately pitches every dish, piece by
piece, upon the floor, then tips the
table over, then all the furniture in the
room, after which he retires to the
parlor and rehearses tragedy.
A professor | know, a very good
man, goes and takes bath the min
ute he is angry, coming out as cheerful
as a cricket.
The worst sort of crank when he
was provoked, lived next door to us
in Chicago some years ago. He would
work off the most disconsolate moods
on his fiddle, in sereetches, yells,
groans, and other heart-rendering
perturbations. We knew he was angry

art, too, and so expressive was his
touch, that you could tell the very
oath that was being flung upon the
waves of the air.
The strangest exhibition of temper
/ ever saw was in an ignorant peon
down in Mexico. He was high tenn
pered, and he no sooner became en-
ragged, than he went to sleep; into such
sleep that he snored.s And that ex-
plains it. He snored with all the rage
of a thousand demons; indeed, the
sound he made was so inexpressibly
ferocious that on one dared to ap-
proach him when he was angry. 1t
might be the way of Satan to tempt
one, they said (para ser tentado del
diablo). .*...~. ~"
Perhaps we should not wonder at
all these (and many more unrecorded)
exhibitions, when we consider how the
animals differ in their manifestation
of this quality. Mules kick, rams butt,
cats scratch, dogs bite, and bees sting,
when they are angry.
Happy is the man who can be origi-

dent OF the model prison in Peking
has brought to the attention of the
general public an institution which Is
worthy Of imitation in many coun.
tries supposed to be far superior to
China in the management of peniten.

Wang Yuan-cheng, the founder and
superintendent Of the prison, and a
number Of guards were attacked re,
Gently by group of IL prisoners, who
were inspired to revolt after the res
toration of the monarchy. He was
stabbed in the head and abdomen
with bayonets and dangerously but
not fatally wounded. Ten convicts
escaped.
Although Mr.. Wang Yuan-cheng
narrowly missed death through adj
herring to humane methods, he still
believes In the system adopted in the
prison and will not alter 1t.
Six years ago Mr.. Wang was com.
missiened by Yuan Shih-kai to. open
modern prison, and given only
s., 900 with which to carry on the
work. He managed the institution so
skillfully, and employed convict labor
SO profitably that the prison now has
$50, 900 in the bank and has paid all
its administrative expenses.
Six hundred men and 100 women
are confined in the prison, and of this
number only II participated in the
dash for liberty. Practically all the
others attempted to prevent violence
and to protect the superintendent and
