A BIT OF FUEL CONSERVATION

When one cooks entirely by gas,
and has no range, gas can be saved
by placing covered utensiI filled
with water on the steam radiator in
the kitchen; in this way hot water
may be had for many things about
the kitchen. By the end of winter
quite a. bit of gas and incidentally
fuel, is saved in this way.
Also, when using a canned product
which requires heating open the can
and place the contents in an uncov-
cred receptacle and place on the
steam radiator several hours before
you wish to use it. The final heat
ing will require only a small
amount of gas. The idea of not
covering the contents of the can is
that it may be come aerated. This
improves the article about 100 per
cent.

ORGANDIES IN YELLOW AND
VIOLET.

On the newest organdie dresses
seen at smart modistes the trimmings
were ACCORDION pleated or lace edged
rosettes.
A yellow organdie with deep hem
was gathered at belt. A row of these
rosettes in yellow, edged with white
lace was around the skirt at the
knees. The bodice was soft with wide
shawl collar crossed in front and fin
ished with two rosettes to match.
A violet organdie was boundd with
matching satin in place of hem; it
had organdie folds stitched on with
a piping Of satin at the top, for the
skirt trimming. The entire blouse
was made of folds, from neck to belt
piped with the satin There were
long sleeves with deep satin piped
cuffs and satin belt.
Although these gowns are perish
able, they are ordered in quantities
by women of all ages, yellow and
violet shades leading.

SAVES WOMEN

Put a few drops on a touchy

Your high heels have put corns on
your toes and caIluses on the bottom
of your feet, but why carde now?
For few cents you can get a quar-

genius.
Apply a few drops upon a tender,
aching corn and instantly, yes imme-

shortly you will find the corn SO loose
that you lift it out, root and all, with
the fingers.
Just Think Not one bit of pain be-
fore applying freezone or afterwards.
1t doesn't even trrltate the surround

THE DUCHESS OF RICHMOND.

The Duchess of Richmond was a
beautiful and noble woman who lived
during the reign of James L, and was
the daughter Of the Earl of B1inden.
Her two grandfathers, the Duke of
Norfolk and the Duke of Bucking-
ham, had both lost their lives for as
piring to the throne. She fell in love
with q vintner by the name of Pran-
mel, and married him. He died a few
years after their marriage, and she
next became engaged to Sir George
Rodney. Before long, however, she
Tilted him for the Earl of Hartford,
and Sir George committed suicide.
The death of her former lover affect
ed her not at all, and her subsequent
conduct was marked by great levity.
After the death Of the earl, she mar
ried the Duke OF Richmond, and after
his death she aspired to become the
wife OF James I. In this she failed.

CLUB NOTES.
Dear Doctors

Dear Doctors
viii you kindly tell me through the
Home Health Club department a
home remedy for my trouble which is
indigestion, suppose, as my stomach
feels 80 bad. Ialso have pains in the
top of my head and in my left side
and breast; get very nervous at times
Have neuralgia in my chest, at least
think it is neuralgia. 1t bothers me
greatly at times in my shoulders and
backbone. Have palpitation of the
heart; cannot stand much work. Am
q years old; have two children. IF
you will advise me of some treatment
for this trouble I will be very CRATE
full.
MRS G. RI
(Answer). Your trouble appears to
me to be indigestion, combined with
extreme nervousness. One-of the first
things which you must learn as a
dyspeptic, is that you cannot eat any
and everything. The fact of the case
is that none can do so, but this is
particularly true after the stomach is
affected You should choose your
foods very carefully, eat only the
plain nutritious foods of a light char
acter, such as will give you life and
strength, and yet not overtax your
digestive organs. Above all things.
chew your food thoroughly. The
greatest trouble with the average per
son is that they let the teeth sh1rk
about one-half to three-quarters OF
the work which they should do. OF
course, then some other organ has to
do much more than its share, as the
teeth do less than theirs. This 1npo-
sition falls to the lot of the stomach
The average stomach is all right If
you give it fair chance. When it
asks for bread, do not give it a stone,
or something equally bad. What it
wants is the plain, wholesome foods
which serve the purpose of the sys-
tenn and if you supply it with those
elements, properly prepared, it viii
most invariably take the best care OF
them, and without a murmur. Chew
your food until it becomes a liquid in
your mouth, and after week or SO
your stomach will not cause you near
ly so much trouble
When your digestion is better,
large majority of the SYMPTOMS winch
YOU described will gradually leave you
and you will be stronger, but you Will
have TO take care that your nerves
do not tyrannize over your muscles
and cause them to wear themselves
| out with all sorts of unnecessary an
tics. Practise selfcontrol and make
youreslf subservient to yourself. Study
the lessons of Part II, Vol. 2, on Dy-
manic Magnetism.

SILK SUITS.

Although it is said by certain firms
and retail shops that silk, suits as a
class have not caused any unusual
excitement in the way Of sports, silks
are nearly always mentioned.
Trico1ettes and sylvettes, ofttimes in
combination effects are exceptional
favorites and in several models the
sleeveless coat is very popular.
Just now, however, there is a big
demand for Standings built on tailor
ed lines, with coats slightly longer
than sports coats usually are.
One of these, fashioned with in
serted, but outward defined breast and
hip pockets, takes on a riding habit
aspect from the cut Of skirt section
Wool jersey suits were also men

sports shades are favored, combina-
lions are the leading tendency.

FOR OHuiDREN's COATS,

Taffeta is given first place among
materials used for spring coats for
children. A spring coat for a child is
usually only for dressy wear, the
sweater being the preferred wrap for
general wear, SO that silk coats are
quite the thing.

SENATE RECEIVES BILL
Question of Eight Hour Day for En-.
ployes to Be Considered
Soon. ....-...--

The agricultural appropriation bill
containing the Borland amendment
compelling the employees Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in the District to
work eight hours a day, was received
by the Senate today from the House
on agriculture.
Senator Gore, chairman of the COM
mittee, said that the bill would be
taken up for consideration within a
few days. He reiterated his opinion
that If the Borland amendment Is to be
made to apply to the employees of the
Department Of Agriculture it should
also be made to apply to the employees
of the other departments. Other than
this he declined to discuss the amend
ment. 1t is possible that the commit
tunity to be heard on the amendment
If they desire.
Senator'S today were inclined to be-
lieve that, in view of the war emer-
gency. no very good argument could
be made against an eight-hour day
for the employees of the department,
other. than the fact that they are un-
derpaid now for q seven-and half
hour day. They believe that the clerks
are entitled to more pay. and that they
will be given more pay by Congress
opinion was expressed. the clerks would
be far wiser to concentrate their efforts
upon obtaining additional pay. using
the longer hours provided in the Bor-
land amendment as an additional rea-
son for the increase demanded.

TO Be NEAR ZERO TONIGHT
Weather Man Consoles, However,
There Is No Snow
in Sight.

Near-zero weather is predicted for
Washington tonight by the weather
bureau.
From a minimum temperature Of IA
degrees early today, the mercury will
decline to 5 above zero tonight. it was
predicted.
There is one consolation offered by
the forecast. in that fair skies will
prevail during the cold spell and no
snow is in sight. It will be generally
fair in this section tonight and to-
morrow.
Fair and colder tonight. Tempera-
ture about 5 degrees. Tuesday fair
and continued cold This is the Of
fetal reading Of the forecast.
Rising temperature yesterday and the
sun today contributed to start the
snow thawing on streets and sidewalks
In the business streets a general slush
resulted last night. but in sections of
the city not thickly traversed- the snow
didn't pelt fast.
With the removal of snow from side
walks. and the clearing Of cross-walks
in streets bv the street cleaning de-
partment. pedestrian and vehicular
traffic was more nearly normal today
Cars of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company were tied up for an
hour LOST night on the Mount Pleasant
line, but street car traffic as whole
was materially improved today.

The administration railroad bill. an
agreement upon which was reached
Saturday by the Senate interstate COM

To expedite it's consideration and
avoid confusion because Of the numer-
