ton. Ruby had almost no money to
spend for improvement. She decided
to invest what little she had in paint
white paint for the furniture and
woodwork, rose water color for the
walls. She filled up the cracks and
shot holes with putty, and then gave
the walls and ceiling two covering
coats. After the frame of the window
and the doors were painted she var
.nished the floors. In the course Of her
club-work she had made several ar
ticles of unbleached muslin, trimmed
with butterfly motif-a counter
pane and pillow sham, runner for
the dressing table, window curtains
with a valance, and covers for the
seats and backs of her two chairs.
These accessories made big differ
ence in the freshened appearance Of
her room. She found an old mirror in
the attic and painted that white, too.
The result was so pretty, especially
after she put basket of flowers I'M
der the window and a braided rug,
which she had made, on the floor, that
her family gave her white toilet set
for her dressing table to complete the
improvement.

HOUSEHOLD SOAP
FOR LAUNDERING
Much Depends on Fabrics
Intended to Be Washed.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrculture.)
The kind of soap used for house.
hold laundering depends on the fab.
RIGS that have to be washed, how
much they are soiled, whether the
washing is done by hand or machine,
and whether the water is hard or soft.
| Silks and woolens are most sensi-
tive to alkalis, and strong soaps
which may contain uncombined aka
| lis should never be used on them,
says the bureau of home economics
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. A mild, neutral soap of
known purity should also be used on
cotton materials that show tendency
to fade, and on all delicate fabrics.
On the other hand, 1t is not ecOnom-
zeal to use an expensive soap on or
binary cotton fabrics where medi-
um-priced soap would be satisfactory,
or on very heavy, dirty materials
which would be more easily cleaned
with stronger soap. Many women
ignore this and are either wasteful
of good soaps or spoil their more del
icate garments with poor ones.
Clipped and faxed soaps go into So
luton very easily and have many
uses for special fabrics. Some of
these soaps are useful for the wash
ing machine, but If heavy or much
soiled articles are being washed, a
solution made by dissolving a strong
er soap in boiling water will do the
work better. The ingredients of most
washing powders are cheaper and
more satisfactory when bought sep
arately.
Water softeners are sometimes add
ed to soaps but their price is usually
greater than their value. 1t is cheap
er to buy them separately. There are
other objections to their presence in
soaps. Common salt and other inert
and sometimes insoluble materials are
often added to increase the weight of
the bar or to give securing proper.
ties. Materials that will not dissolve
and make suds, such as pumice and
sand, are only valuable as securing
agents and should not be present in
laundry soaps.
A good laundry soap should also
be free from excessive water, which
makes moist, but wasteful bar Of
soap. No one wishes to pay for soap
and receive large proportion of wa
ter. Almost all yellow laundry soaps
contain rosin. It will lather and make
suds, therefore 1t has some cleans

rosin the soup will have a disagree

WHAT DIR. CALDWELL

A physician watched the results Of
constipation for Al years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are Of
their health, diet and exercise, constipa-
ton will occur from time to time. OF
next Importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. DR.. Caldwell always
was in favor Of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti-
patton, known as DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin, is mild vegetable compound.
It can not harm the system and is not
habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting, and youngsters love it.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. he did NOT
believe they were good for anybody's
system. In a practice of AZ years he
never saw any reason for their use when

u. S. Autoists Need No
Passports in Mexico

Laredo, Texas.-In order to encour
age American automobile tourists to
visit Mexico, the government has is
sued an order which does away with
the passport requirement. In it's
place all that is now necessary is for
the visitor to obtain a credential from
q chamber of commerce anywhere in
the United States certifying as to his
Identity and good character. This
certificate will be recognized by i'm
migration and custom officials at all
border gateways and the tourist ad
mitted expeditiously. The new high
way between Laredo and Monterey is
now being placed in excellent condi
tion in expectation of heavy tourist
traffic during the coming summer
Even tourist camps, similar to those
that are found in the United States
are being built at points along the
highway. This Is something new In
the way of accommodations for tour
lists in Mexico. A regular bus line has
also been established between Laredo
and Monterey.

Cotton for Graduation
Almost ALWAYS Chosen

Simplicity is, or should be, the key
note In graduation exercises, and con-
sequently In many schools and COL
leges there is definite effort to en-
courage very simple and inexpensive
types of graduation frocks. For this
reason, and because of the advent of
warm weather in June, white cotton
fabrics are almost universally chosen
for the "sweet girl graduate" In
many instances the girls are interest
ed in making their own graduation
dresses. They can put into practice
some of the training they have re-
ceived in sewing, and also save money.
Sometimes contest is started with
set limit as to how much may be
spent for materials. One of the OBJ
jects of these friendly contests Is to
level any possible differences in ex-
pendture that might be evident when
some of the students are able to pay
more for their clothes than others.
For the tailored or sports type Of
graduation dress generally worn at
morning graduation exercises, broad
cloth, poplin, suiting, and pique are
good materials to use, the bureau of
home economics suggests. Where
frills and founces are permitted. as
at an afternoon or evening gradua-
ton, soft, sheer materials are liked.

Those who do not like the strong
gamey flavor of wild rabbit may par.
boil 1t in water containing soda.
To make casserole of rabbit dress
and cut up the rabbit, brown the
pieces in bacon fat and then place
them in n baking dish. Make gravy

UNEARTH TRICKS
OF COIN FRAUDS
Relic Sleuths Use Microscope
in Work.

Ithaca, N. Y.-Detectives who use
chemicals, X-rays, vacuum tubes and
ultraviolet light apparently are neces-
sary in these days of sythesis, but
here at Cornell university technique
has been developed that affords some
strong talking points in favor Of the
old-fashioned principle of using the
eyes aided by glass.
The detective work here is done
mostly on rare coins and antiques to
discover whether they are genuine.
The owners have come to the depart
ment of chemistry expecting some
such chemical formula as TX equals
p" as proof of age. They often are
told by DIR. r. II. Chamot, professor
Of chemical microscopy:
"Let us look at it first. Perhaps we
can save time and the possibility of
marring this treasure"
He puts the object under micro
scope. Now, under the glass nothing
appears natural, and long training
In the technique is necessary before
the microscope detective may read the
evidence before his eyes.
A coin known as a gold slater from
Lampsacus came here for analysis.
The microscope showed that it had
not been cast. A chemical test proved
that the gold was of flneness con-
sistent with ancient origin. But sus-
picion persisted.
AS it was desirable not to mar the
coin, the microscope was employed to
get tiny piece of the 'dark gold"
from the coin without leaving a trace
of cutting. Analysis proved that the
apparent aging was an artificial coat
ing Of gum, starch and color matter.

Oysters Grow on Trees
and Crabs Eat Fruit

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad.-This is
probably the only place In the world
where oysters grow on trees and crabs
eat from the highest branches of the
fruit trees. Nature has played man!
pranks in Trinidad, where there are
also lake of pitch, rivers of tar and
fishes clad in armor.
Both Columbus and Sir Walter Ra
leigh mentioned the oysters which
grew on the mangroves here and
which were left high and dry by the
receding tides. The soldier crab
climbs trees with the greatest ease
The armor-clad fish is called the cas-
cadura and has delicious flavor.

Anger Is Blamed
on Early Diseases

New York.-Two results OF
disease, tendency to get angry
easily and an inclination toward
fear, were analysed before the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science.
George M. Stratton of the Uni
versity of California said thai
evidence increases that disease
Is connected In after-life with
Feasibility. Instead Of breeding
patience, 1t appears that per
sons who have had greater
number Of diseases appear to be
more irascible than do those
who have had few diseases.
"The time when the disease
occurs is important. Persons
who have suffered disease in the
first five years of their lives ap
pear in general to respond more
intensely to anger situations
than do persons whose diseases
came later"
