CONTINUING A coon WORK.

Because Of the large amount OF good
which It is believed to have accomplish
ed already by its investigation, and the
need which has been shown to exist for
Ms continuance, there VIII be a feeling
that the right thing Is being urged
when the finance committee Of the New
York state senate has agreed to report
iavorably upon the resolution extending
ihte lie OF the Lockwood committee.
Quite as determined efforts have been
made to stop the investigation as the
committee has made for the ending Of
antust conditions, and while a favorable
report isn't exactly the same as the
passage OF the resolution there are good
reasons for believing that It will go
through. Public sentiment IL unques-
Tionably favorably disposed to the work

DICTATES oE FASHION

Low-waisted blouse coats are TAX
ing on new lines with winged cape
sleeves.
A cape model introduces group
of inverted tucks from whence the
fullness reverts to cartridge pleats.
American Broadtail is used just the
same as duvetyn inlay trimming on
cloth.
Grosgrain ribbon bindings appear
on the more severely tailored Of the
navy tricotines.
Que braids of self materials are re-
placing narrow belts on suits which
prefer the waistline arrangement.
Sleeves which are wrist length and
cut in one with the dress are gaining
in favor now that bloused and baggy
effects are the vogue.
Folded bands of coIored crepe or of
gold or silver cloth are worn in the
hair, the ends disappearing under the
side fullness.
Colored combs of the Spanish va
riety and smaller rhinestone combs
are worn for evening.
For sports skirts the preference is
for woolens which have a fringe in
stead of hem.
All white hats, in soft silk becom-
ing draped, also black and white silk
in combination.
Wide metal ribbons are used for
bandeaus for evening wear. These al
most cover the brow in front taper
ing toward the ears and disappearing
into the couture.
Beaded headdresses encircle the
forehead in bandeau style, cross the
top of the head from ear to ear.
Pendant earring and sautoirs Of
pearls and diamonds are for evening
Cog fans having many swirls on q
single stick are favorites.

Modern Methods Of sanitation.

Dear Mr.. Editor: While we have re-
spect for the people who still believe as
we were taught in our youth to believe,
that typhoid fever and other Infectious
diseases are caused by sewer gas, and
feel reluctant to make an apparent cri-
ticsm of any individual who still cher
shes such a belief, we have no respect
for the theory itself; and in the light
of more recent discoveries of the causes
of disease, we feel constrained to make
a statement which will contradict that
made in a letter written February %,
by John Troland.
While in the past our boards of
heJth dealt primarily with physical
surroundings, such as air, water food
clothing, houses. drains. etc, these while
still holding an important relation to
the public health, no longer hold the
primary place.
Today our sanfarians are giving the
first and most important place to the
finding of Infectious persons or animals
and excluding them from the surround
ings In other words. the inanimate
surroundings in the old days were con
sidered of primary Importance. Today
1t Is the animate surroundings which
are held responsible for the spread Of
disease. We have learned that infect
ious diseases are due to tiny forms o.
plant or animal life entering the body
and growing in It. We used to thlnl
these germs grew and multiplied in de
composing vegetation in swamps, ii
garbage and in sewer gas. and wert
| breathed in through the air. Today ",
| look for the growth and development o
! these germs in the human body. an,
trace their spread to direct or In SOM
cases, Indirect contact with the human
excretions of the body in which tn
! germs are living.
| While we believe In sanitary sur
roundings and do not intend to underes
| innate their importance. the Who'll
! trend of recent scientific research s.
teaching US to place the emphasis o
personal hygiene.
In closing may I call the attention o
| the public to little book to be foun
in the Otis Library, which tells In
popular and Illuminating way, the mod
| ern methods of sanitation The book
| written by H. W. Hill of the Minnesot
Board of Health. and its title is TIL

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE

THE HOUSEWIFE
Try using alcohol to remove grass
stains from white material.
Before opening cocoanut place 1t
in an oven few minutes. The warmth
makes opening comparatively easy.
Don't ever pour hot grease down
the sink drain. AS soon as it strikes
the cold pipes 1t will thicken and stop
them up.
When string is hung over nail
for future use it often becomes raw
elled. Rolling 1t into ball keeps it
in proper and handy shape.
When rinsing cut glasses that have
had milk in them use cold water.
Hot water makes them streaked and
hard to wash clear.
Use a little salt once month
while brushing the carpets and then
go over them with a cloth wrung out
of an equal solution of vinegar and
water and you will find their color
Is freshened.
If raisins or dates are cooked in
rice pudding or bread pudding, much
less sugar will be required.
Don't throw away the worn phono-
graph needles. They can be used in
place of small headed nails to keep
pictures in place in their frames
To wash greasy pans pour a few
drops of ammonia into pan and half
fill the pan with hot water. A bot
tie of ammonia should always be kept
on hand near the sink for such uses
Straw mating can be cleaned by
using warm water and salt and then
rubbing dry with cloth to prevent
it turning yellow.
1t is said that wrinkled silk may be
rendered as beautiful as when new
by sponging the surface with a weak
solution of gum arabic or white glue
then iron on wrong side

which has come from the accomplish
ments of the committee in the exposure
Of unlawful conspiracies, the ending of
The graft and hold-up schemes in con-
nection with building operations which
even extended to price fixing and the
restraint of trade, and the fighting Of
prohteers.
Such excellent work has been done
by the committee that It would be a
mistake to deny It the appropriation
necessary to continue the good work
before It has completed its programme.
It tackled big job but 1t did 1t in such
way as to get desired results. Like
faithful ana eficient oficials whose
record is such as to entitle them to a
reelection. this committee has thor
oughly impressed by its conscientious,
persistent and impartial efforts. and II

CARE OF HANDS

The housewife whose hands are In
and out of water and the office work
er whose hands become soiled with
inks and carbon paper both should
give little daily attention to these
members which, being useful, may al
so be extremely beautiful.
Use good soap and soft, warm wa
ter Lather the hands thoroughly and
use a brush on the nails to remove
the dirt that sometimes clings under
the tips.
Use pumice stone, either powdered
or in tablet form, or a little lemon
Juice, to remove stains. Rinse the
hands and partly dry them on a clean
soft towel. Since either putnice or
lemon is likely to have drying, rough
ening effect pour few drops of gly-
cerine and rose water lotion on the
moist palms, rub in thoroughly but
gently.

READ YOUR CHARACTER
Large Capitals.
by DlEby Phillips,
Copyrighted 1921

Large Capitals.
OF considerable Importance in judging
character by handwriting is the manner
in which the writer makes his capital
letters.
When they are large it Is significant.
and the larger they are in proportion
to his other letters the more significant.
If they are ornamental by fourishes the
significance is greatest.
The large capital letter, habitually
made with. a flourish. Is a betrayal Of
egotism, conceit, affectation, pride and
love OF display. To get at the real i'm
portance Of such a writer in the gen
eral scheme of the world you have only
to take his own opinion of himself and
reverse it, and you'll come pretty close
to the real state of affairs
Still. you must be cautious in Judging

ing which otherwise is normal. neat ami

the significance of the capitals for then

of our characters are, after all. made
UP OF conflicting traits. Where the cap

"hashy," you may take it that wha;

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Isn't the Spring a Constant Menacer


Mr.. Editor 1t was a satisfaction to
many to have the report of the commits
sioner of the state board of health pub
lished at last
1t gives US the source of the contain
nation which caused the epidemic but
I fail to see why the contaminated
spring is not a constant menace as it
flows away from the Beebe farm,
whether or not 1t is used to rinse milk
cans. Where does that water go? AL
so. why cannot a person washing his
hands in the trough become carrier?
Some more questions:
Had the dairy farm been properly IN
speeted need we have suffered any cpl
demic?
Why was the unsanitary condition Of
the barn only discovered through visit
of inspection to determine the source
of the recent epidemic?
If we are given a false sense Of Sc
curity by the appointment Of milk In
spector who does not inspect. would We
not better abolish the Office?

PENNsYLYANIA STONE.

Much sympathy will he manifested
'or the position which has been taken
~ state Chemist Howard OF New
Hampshire when he urges the passage
n the Luce bill now before congress
Thich is intended 10 establish a system
'or the regulation Of the coal Industry
with a view to furnishing quality pro-
iuct N the consumers.
When he declares that IN many IN
stances 25 per cent Of the coal sold in
hat state Is made IN Of slate and other
non-hesting producing units he brings
10 attention a matter which has long
been realized by the coal consuming
public. Not only does such material
which has well been referred to as
Pennsylvania real estate fail to fur

he New Hampshire coal" that only
three-qua rters Of ton Of coal is re-

the price NJ that three-quarters of a
ton naid for at the ton rate has been
increased because Of the extra weight
involved in the rocks which are broken
W and look like coal and because of the
transportation charge for the handling
Of this waste material
The subject Of coal Is one in which
most everyone Is interested. Because IT
Is fuel there is no reason why the prac-
tice of pushing into It all the stone 1t
will stand should be tolerated There
are quite as good reasons why the

COMFORT In coRsEns

To corset or not to corset her
daughter is one of the problems of
every mother, regardless of how she
has settled the question for herself
Now that the physicians are, as
whole, In favor Of corsets since they
have been constructed to support and
help the figure rather than compress
it into fashionable lines, the wise mo-
Their selects the girdle corset of to-
day, which when worn with the bras
siere to hold the bust firmly, is al
together helpful as well as graceful
These girdle eorsets are ideal for
the still growing girl with figure still
in the process of formation, the gar
ment, without being combining, still
lending the needed support to the abb
domen and sufficient gentle constric-
ton to the hips to prevent that fab
biness which, once acquired, is so diff
ficuit to eliminate.

CLEANING HINTS

Never use soda for washing alumni
nun saucepans for the metal will be-
come quite black.
Hot gas-stoves can be quickly wiped
free of all grease with paper, 50 keep
a bag hanging near by in which all
scraps of soft paper can be kept for
cleaning purposes.
link utensils can be cleaned with
soda and water, afterwards polishing
them with a cloth dipped in turpen-
tine and bathbrick.
Do not clean any timed ware with
sand or bathbrick, for the surface
will be damaged. Use soap and hot
water, and, when dry, rub with g
cloth and whitening.

BUTTONS AS TRIMMING

A new idea among the trimmings is
the use of pear buttons in much the
same way as beads were used during
the past year. They are placed close
together in rows when small or in ef-
fective groups when large, and this
style Of trimming lends itself particu-
larly well to the cotton froek. Orna-
mentation this spring will be more Of
fabric than. of accessory. the material

TRIMMING NOVELTIES

Interesting trimming novelties are
noted, especially on evening frocks. one
lovely model recently seen having a
double belt or girdle fashioned of til
ny shells set close together. The eff
feet was charming.
Braided girdles of heavy silk braid
are frequently used. Gold or silver
cloth or metal braid is similarly used
with good effect Flower girdles are
popular and effective finishes for
dainty evening and dance frocks.
Norwich bulletin., 1922-02-27
SLEEVES

The sleeve situation is more than
diverting. Some Of the new frocks
have sleeves which sheathe the arm
from shoulder to waist and others
swing clear of the arm, being attach
ed to an unbelievedly large armhole.
Afternoon froeks, which are quite cor
rect for outdoor wear, have their
sleeves chopped off Just a Bit below
the shoulder and call for the constant
use of long sleeves.

arately just before the tray comes to

DAINTY uNDERWARE

Fine voiles with white ground and
satin stripes in color are used for
lovely two and three-piece sets. One
of the popular trimmings is binding
all the edges with plain color self
fabric. Sheer cotton crepes are more
extensively used for spring and sum-
mer undergarments than ever before
sometimes trimmed in piping or bind
ings Of fabric in contrasting color,
sometimes with sampler stitch en-
broidered or brier stitching
The dainty woman will choose white
or flesh colored undergarments in
preference to the more vivid orchid
maize or blue shades that are offered
for the sake of variety.
