Mrs. Zuger Gave
Talk on "Illiteracy'

Mrs. Alfred Zuger of Bismarck,
representing the North Dakota Fed
Grafton Of Wonen's clubs, on the
North Dakota Illiteracy commission
gave an interesting address on the
work of the commission before the
annual meeting of the Eighth district
Of the North Dakota Federation OF
Women's clubs recd1tly held at
Jamestown. Mrs. Zuger said in part:
"Why should we be alarmed at the
statistics on illiteracy? Why indeed,
because of the illiterates and near
illitarates, rs per cent of our pOpula.
tion cannot properly share in our ma
tional life. They form the drag on
labor. contribute largely to our crimi-
hal classes and fill our state institu-
tions with detectives. 1lliteracy is
becoming odicus. The time has come
when the man or woman making his
or her mark should fill the beholder
with horror. Wherever illiteracy Is
rrevalent, stagnation is the result;
illiteracy breeds disease, promotes
crime limits commerce, corrupts the
ballot and hinders the spread OF re-
ligion. 1lliteracy must be wiped out y
In giving methods by which litter
acy must be STAMPED out Mrs. Zuger
advocated the raising of the age limit
for school attendance, raising the
standard Of the teachers, have larger
school buildings where all students
may be housed and to make inter,
esting places of the SCHOOLS for the
students. ".unr
The speaker dwelt at some length
upon the work accomplished in the
night schools established at different
parts of the state. The first schoo
of this kind was established at the
North Dakota penitentiary on Nov
16 The classes at this school have
been accomplished. Similar schools
were later established at Bismarck
Minot, Medina and Dickson. The
only class completing the worl
necessary to receive certificates
issued by Miss Minnie Nelson
state superintendent Of public In
struction is the one at Minot instruct
ed by Miss Mary Norton.

The skin is wonderful organ, do
ing work of immense importance to
health at all times. But in hot wealth
er, wnen its millions of tiny pores
are working to cool the skin, it is
more than ever important that this
work Of cooling the overheated body
should be able to do its work we'll.
If baby is cross and unhappy, it
may be he is suffering from what
is commonly known as "prickly heat"
from the singing sensation that ac-
companies it, The fine red rash ap-
pears first on the chest and back, and
often runs over the cheeks and arms
ard other parts Of the body. ....
1t is common in babies who are too
warmly dressed, especially in those
who wear too much and too heavy
un'erwear. The first remedy is to
remove the surplus clothing, and to
exchange the heavy shirts and bands
with very lightweight ones. The next
thing to do is to give the baby a cool
or tepid bath to remove the excess of
perspiration.
If the skin is we'll covered with
the rash bran or starch or a soda,
b'th may be tried. These baths have
lately been described in this column.

Ladies Celebrate
Founding of The
Episcopal Church

The ladies Of the Episcopal church
gave card party at the Parish house
yesterday afternoon in remembrance
of the 5Oth anniversary Of the found
ing of the local church. At the close
of the afternoon refreshments were
served. In presenting the gold cake
which was representative of the half
century mark passed by the Episcopal
church, Mrs. A. P. Barnes related
some very interesting facts in regard
to the founding of the city of Bis
marck. After LOOKING over the group
of ladies present, Mrs. Barnes who is
one of the early settlers, said, 81 can
scarcely grasp the fact that this ga
thering is but the consequence Ct that
rough camp CT soldiers, roustabouts:
and surveyors who formed the nue.
leus of the city Of Bismarck 50 years
ago. When the surveying party came
to locate the town, small military
post was already established, known
as Camp Hancock The scattered log
shacks and trading post answered to
the name of Edwinton. Later on the
arrival of the Northern Pacific rail-
road which was built largely with
German capital, the name of the place
was changed to Bismarck.
"The present weather Bureau sta.
ton is located on the old site of old
Camp Hancock. The camp followers

Mrs. j. C. Taylor was the winner Of
the beautiful golden cake, name
symbolic of the half century anniver-
sary of the church, as result OF
winning high score at cards. The
cake resembled its name-it was beau
tiful gold mixed with white. A large

Through the role of June bride has
been played by millions Of women,
with varying degrees of success, there
is always chance for the beginner to
add. new touches and make her char
acterization distinctive.
This season, in the matter of cos
tunes, brides are following the pre-
cedent OF Princess Mary. Consequent
ly, we see less white satin than usual
Many of the most favored gowns this
season are of lace or silk tissues, en
broidered or dotted with designs in
pearls.
Instead of looking very formidable
and austere in white satin gown, high
necked and very long, the June bride
looks very much like herself and man.

sonality in her frock.
Some of the bridal gowns are very
short-American women simply won't
take kindly to the long sHirt--but the
ceremonial effect isgained by the addi-
ton of long train, which is usually
fastened from the shoulders.
OF course, the bride who has inner
tied some old lace always uses it on
her wedding gown. II it Is small
piece she usually incorporates it into
her headdress. If she has several
yards it may always be depended on
for the veil.
. Frequently, we must admit, t1e
weakest point in the bridal outfit is
the head-dress. Because women so
rarely wear this sort of thing they are
likely to get the wrong effect when
they attempt it.
The Dutch cap, with the points over
the ears. the Spanish cap, which Is
a high-pointed treatment, and the Rus
sian cap, with the wide band surround
ing the face, are all helpful sugges'
tions learned from foreign lands.
The relation between white satln
land pearls is so close one that II
lis no wonder that the favorite jewei
of the bride is the pearl. The bride
usually avoids a display Of jewelry'
excepting her engagement and wed
ding ring, and the bar pin which Is so
frequently the gift of the groom.

slippers, however, are jeweled.
