WEAR SILK STOCKINGS?
MAKE THEM LAST LONGER

Silk stockings seem to have become
the rage, and accordingly the price
has advanced every little while, until
q real good pair Of silk hose of any
kind costs small pile now-a days.
However, il you must have them,
try making them last as long as pos
sible. The only way to beat the II. C.
L. is to do without or else take care
OF what you have. Silk hose have q
tendency to get ravelled, or else 9
thread will become broken, thus al.
lowing the rest of the material near
1t to pull out Of shape and soon be-
come frayed. When you discover O
broken stitch, attend to it at once. A
fine crochet hook should be used to
pick up the first ravelled thread and
work it gradually along the travelled
line, pulling the thread gently thru

those taking part were the Misses
Minnie Thomas, Genevieve Purier,
Clara Surles, Hazel Hartman, Carrie
Eells, and Julia Redden.
That young lady, Dollie Wobensmith

Tenie Schmitz, returned home short
time ago and was later taken very i'll
with appendicitis. A train going thru

been visiting in Gunnison, was on his
way home to Salida, and SO took the
young lady to the hospital there.

gone down town to hear the latest re-

They are very much worked up over
the proposed plans of tie government

taking care not to break it. When
you have this much done, get q fine
sewing needle and with fine silk thread
the same color as the stocking, darn
the place carefully and with as small
stitches as you can make. The place,
will scarcely be noticeable when neat
ly pressed.
A piece OF thin velvet pasted into
the heels Of your shoes will prevent
the heels of your silk hose becoming
worn thru too soon. One lady friend
of ours, always wears a pair Of Racine
feet over her silk stockings before she
puts on her shoes. This prevents the
soIes of the silk becoming worn out
right away. A basting thread may be
used to fasten the Racine feet to the
silk to prevent slipping down, but It
il really unnecessary, and further
more, If your shoes are not perfectly
tting, the thread may cause stitch
to break in the stockings.

MILK A VALUABLE FOOD
FOR GROWING CHILDREN

fdrIn Ll1e:-
No food can take the place Of milk
in the diet of children. II q mother
expects her children to grow to be
healthy and strong and have good
teeth, 1t Is absolutely essential that
she see to it that the child has mill,
every day. Every normal child should
have from pint and q half to quart
a day, at least until he in twelve
years old; after that, until adult life
and beyond, he should have pint Of
milk day. The mother who does not
provide sufficient milk for her child
rem, or who does not train them. to
drink milk, or If this is impossible,
does not disguise the milk in their
daily cooked food, is not fulfilling her
duty. Whole milk is best. Skim milk
cannot take its place unless the child
uses an abundance Of cream and real
butter. There are very few children
who cannot take milk because they
are made i'll by it. Such cases are
very rare.
Some reasons why children do not
ike milk are:
1. Milk. is a bland, comparatively
favoriess food. Young children who
are early given meat or other highly
seasoned foods, foods which are high
ly seasoned NTH salt and pepper or
spices, or sweet foods, often lose their
appetite for milk because Of its mild
flavor. II candy or other sweets are
eaten between meals, the liking for
milk is quite certain to be destroyed.
2. Children are naturally initiative
and often from mere whim or just
- - L. A.
say II don't like milk or II can't
drink milk" because they have heard
their parents or someone else say it.
Children should be taught a respect
for all wholesome food. This is not
possible If parents or older children are
permitted to criticize certain foods or
express dislike for them before
children.
8. Too much milk or too much Of
any food If taken at one time may
satiate the appetite the palate and
leave IN aversion for milk which only
time and patience can overcome.
4. School children have habit Of
making fun at the occasional child
whose sensible mother puts milk in,
his lunch box. II all mothers would
agree to send milk with the school
lunch and the teacher would explain
to the children the value Of milk, this
would be overcome.

drink milk II Il b served IN . colored

 THE TRUTH

plavinp no ravoriteS, that he was cat ering to no special class, that he did not expect his friends to vote for him simply because they were his friends. He assured them that this was the first and only time that the people of Alaska had had the opportunity to vote for those things that were really needed and wanted and that it was up to them to get these things by casting their votes for the man whom they thought best qualified to help get these things for them. He stated that even if he was defeated he would re- turn to Washington and during the few months left for the completion of his tenn would do his utmost to get those things but that if he was re- turned defeated man that it would be doubly hard because the senators and congress men at Washington would tell him that the people of Alas ka had shown that they did not want these things by casting their votes against him.
 He urged them to use good com mon sense and sincere thought before they went to the polls in November to cast their vote, because this was the first election where the people of Alaska really had a chance to vote for the things they all wanted Com mending the choice of~the people of Seward for selecting man like John Noon to represent them-on the mission he was engaged on. Finishing his talk with the assurance that he would con- tinue to work for the interests of al! of the people of Alaska and promising a speedy solution to all the vital pro blems now confronting the territory Ii he were returned to Congress he left the hall with the knowledge that he would receive a substantial vote from the people of Seward.

WHAT'S THE MATTER

-Todate only forty eight votes have been cast in the straw vote contest Most of these votes have been cast oy the men and women who will vote the republican ticket. The total count as shown in the results postedin the win dow of the Gateway give the repub!l- can candidates substantial majority. Either this is true indication of just how the real election will run or it is caused by the lack of interest among the majority of people in Seward. lils straw vote contest may be looked upon by some of you as joke or foolish waste of time, but if all of you who can vote and will vote in tie coming elections for the candidate of your choice will line up and cast your votes in this straw contest with the same interest and pride that you vii! use in the real election you will dlin- onstrate to the people in other parts of the Territory that you really are 'n- terested in the future welfare of Alas ka. If you favor Cox for Prsident for the love of Mike do not be afraid to mark one of the little ballots in the straw vote contest. If you want to vote for Harding and feel that ,Grigs- by should also get your vote be hon. est and step in and split the ticket and reversing the formula split 'em bot' if you think it necessary.
 The feeling about the coming re- suits of the national and territorial elections is running high at the pres ,nt time and it will continue to gather speed during the next few weeks. If you fully expect to cast vote at the real elections get busy now and mark one of the little ballots in the straw
 'ote. Everybody do it. Men and wo- men. Republican and Democrat and as you watch the total vote grow you
 will also be able to determine just what will be what when the real elcc- tion occurs. The other cities who get ,ur newspaper are watching the result of cur straw vote with more interest chan you imagine.
