Flowers As Fly ySwatters
(By Biddy Bye.)

A physician has recently discoveredN a new and pleasant sort of fly swat teri
 The new discovery is-fowers.
 No, one is not actually supposed to go about hitting at flies with fresh bouquets, but the idea is that certain flower odors are very displeasing to flies and they will not remain in theN same room where such flowers are placed
 The monthly pamphlet issued by the Michigan state board of health for May contains a statement by Dr. W. H. Smith of St. Clair, Mich, to the eff feet that the flower enemies of flies are especially mignonette and white clover blossoms.
 Either of these flowers set in vases about a room will drive out flies They must be kept fresh and changed every other day. Peppermint and spearmint are also unpopular per fumes with both flies and ants, and if bruised and laid about on tables and shelves will drive the pests to other quarters
 Still another authority recomm ends that oil of lavender flowers be used as a spray on the curtains and car pets of rooms where flies are too nu- merous.

 Ware of Tam

All winter long there is the nightly seance with massage cream and cold cream and astringents and bleaches, and so on--and, then, no sooner does summer arrive than we who value our looks must begin the war on tan, frecl1les and sunburn.
 And now the skin specialists are actually advocating a little bit of healthy tan as skin tonic--and as becoming to healthy outdoor life and summery clothes.
 Also, they say that summer is the time to give the skin a rest from faithful massage and too much atten tion Especially those lucky persons who have long vacation and outdoor life are exempt from the complicated rites of the complexion for a time. The worl1-a-d day folk who stick to the same routine as in winter must keep up the everyday care if they desire to keep the skin fit.
 For outdoor folk the treatment is one warm water and soap bath a day for the face, then in the morning a cold water dash, followed by a light powdering with rice powder. After active sports the face should again be washed With COlQ water. AL nlS Tt a little cold cream lightly rubbed in and wiped off finishes the beauty stint of the day.

Figures taken from the draft pa

cannot read and write in any

is brought out-that in most cases

tributed to Delinquency of
Girls.
INVESTIGATION OF
CHARGES ORDERED
Girls Were Given Spending Money
and Nice Clothes as Reward For
Their Company

Following the publication Friday
afternoon of charges made by
Municipal Judge Bonner of Des
Moines that certain members of the
legislature had contributed to the
delinquency of young girls in Des
Moines recently; Representative
Morgan of Jasper county announced
ne will introduce a resolution in the
house asking for an investigation of
the charges.
''The charges of Judge Bonner
that members of the legislature
have aided and abetted the delin-
quency of girls II and Is years old
should be investigated" said Rep
Tesentative Morgan. 1T is a slur on
the complete assembly, and I for
one will not let a cloudrest over the
charges. Let us have light and the
guilty parties named"
Representative Giltner of Monroe
county said that he would demand a
full investigation even though the
vote for adjournment has to be re-
considered and the date of adjourn
ment set up six weeks.
Il don't care if the investigation
takes us six weeks" said Repre-
sentative Giltner. THE decent mem
bers Of this house will not let their
characters be blackened by such a
blanket charge. 1t is the duty of
Judge Bonner to bring forth and
have printed the afidavits which he
said contain the names of the mem
bers of the. legislature who went out
on the wild parties"
Representative T. P. Harrington
of Kossuth county said:
by all means an investigation
should be made. Let the guilty ones
be brought out of the dark, if there
are guilty ones, and the rest of the
legislature cleared. l favor a COM

Judge Bonner, to newspaper men
Friday, charged that during the last
six weeks certain members of the
legislatures, named in affidavits by
girls, some of the girls only II
years old, went out on all night
parties in Des Moines with the girls.
Judge Bonner in his statement to
newspaper men said that when he
received the information OF the wild
orgies by the legislators he notified
the governors office and special
agent was assigned by the COVER
nor's office to conduct the investi-
cation. He said the state agent I'M
earthed a great deal of the evidence.
Charles Witt, secretary to the
governor, yesterday said that neither
he nor the governor had heard about
the investigation until called by
local newspaper for Verifcation Of
Judgs Bonner's story.
Judge Bonner emphasized the fact
to the neWspapermen that the COVER
nor's special state agent had con-
Quoted the investigation.
According to Judge Bonner aft
daVits were obtained from the girls
who took part in the parties In which
they named the legislators and told
when and where the parties were
held.
AS reward for their company the
girls said they were given nice
clothes, spending money and good
times.
