The enemies of public utility legis- lation must be pleased by the present condition of things with the house and senate antagonized. With seference o the merits of the bills passed, the governor has spoken. Governor Bald- win thinks the utilities bil] passed by the senate (reported by the minority of the committee) is a little better than the bill passed by the house (the Banks-Davenport bill). Both are con- stitutional, he thinks, so that bugbear is removed. But he does not consider either of these bills as good as the bill recommended by the commission ap- pointed by Governor Woodruff. Since there is so small a difference between these measures it ought not to be difficult for the two houses to in_conference agree to one of them. It is toe bad for the people to have to sée a law enacted upon such an important matter because it is better than no law, instead of a law which meets the case firmly and squarels and by the passage of which the pub- e interests will Be fully served. = A GOOD CITIZEN'S DAY. Since we have Mother's day and v rious other days, some ambitious seul is mow advocating a Good Citizen's day. Fourth of July and Labor day are two good citizen’s days; every Sunday should 9e; and there appears to be no reason why every day shouldn't be a Z00d citizen's day. The good oitigen is the man who honers himself by honering industry and honoring every good werk and every good law and he is honored all the while he is doing this. The good citizen is not asking for any special honors, for it is his priv- ilege to increase his own homer and worth by conferring special honors upen all deserving of them. Tt deesn’t look as If a special day devoted to him would be anything but @ false pretence—a e of time— for the good citizen glorifies and Is glerified by every day THE MODEL LICENSE LAW. The model license law of Indiana is be highly commended because of its satisfagtory operation. Tt allows but ons salgon to each 1,000 of the p law respecting citizens, for 5200 s pmid to the state and ulation, licenses are only issued to which the place in which the license is aranied. Sengtor rt E. Proctor, speak- ing of the operation of the law, says: “Thers are now 17 saloens in the city of hast, which was ‘@ but ree voted ‘wet’ mostly be- cause of the regulation act. These saloons pay the maximum licensc fee of 3200 to the state and 3500 to the eity. Formerly there were be- iweer twenty-fwe and thirty saloons, but they were not so well conducted as vnder the present ragulations, at least this is the opinion of the law officess. The eity is entMied to 22 saloons under the limitations of one o m of population, but several appli- ons for lcense were turned down. The salocns obey the law strictly, cioslag at il o'clock Saturday nights and keeping closed untii Monday morming at 5, and no liquor is to be had in salecns during the prohibited Leurs, ‘This was not the case for- mnerly. The dumb-waiters which car- risd liquors up stalrs | piaces have been taken o selling is confined to the fied in the license. 1 am city ney of Elkhart, and I can say under the operations of the law there have ®een 50 per cent. less prose-utions for drunkenness and for selling unlaw- fully than ever before.” ‘I regard the Proctor law,” said Calvin E. Dobbins, president of the Indiana Hotslkeepers' association, “the best regulative measure ever adopied in this country. I know the members | of my association, of which I am director, are almost unanimous in the opinion that the law will continue te grow in strength, and will be more popular every day if it remains on the books. There are 15 saloons in Sey- mour, and I never saw such a change in public sentiment and in the man- ner of saleons conducting business. Before the city wenf dry the saloon- keeper never thought about the hours, but he does now since the city went wet and is operated under the Proc- tor regulations. Elections have been 09 units since the held in about county eption law was repealed. About 40 cities have veted and 2§ of ithese went wet. Fifty- five of the 92 counties have made the limitation 1 to 1000 and 70 cities have imposed a license fee of $506 for the municipal privilege in additien te the $200 imposed by the state. Those who have given the subject careful study agree that the Prector model license aw has solved the problem in Indiana %0 far as regzulation is concerned. THE GREATEST OCEAN LINER. The longest day of the year, 21, will witness the arrival at York of the largest sea-going ve in the world, the ®lympic, a ship 382 feet in length, and 175 feet from her keel o the tep of her funnels. She is « non-pitching and non- rojing craft, and if anyone can rais the prige for a first or second cabin trip by ome of the new large ships, he sheuld never waste x moment’s thought on seasickness. Under all ordinary conditions, eme will be mere likely to get seasick on a trolley car or swing- ing in a hammock than upen such an ocean leviathan as this. In one of these medern steamships the pewerful motors drive inte every statereom a steady current of ®ves giving sea air, whese tonic tingle June makes ome forget everything exeept dinmer. his desire for , man ef- fered ten cemts « hundred for old cans as 4 means of cleaning up the place, two livély beys piled the 8ans in his backyard in such quantities that they uad to be called of.

They charge 5 times as much to carry a ton of express as a ton of freight in other countries. Here the express companies charge 16 times as much. Of course, these charges simply pro- hibit by half or more of the traffic in the United States. Our average is less than ome hundred pounds per capita, while that of the other coun- tries is over two-hundred pounds per capita, altkough we have far greater demand fer quick transport on ac- count of our longer distances and more extengive business. Mr. Lewis has worked out a sys- tem of “zones” based on seientific methods, from which a five-pound package, for instance, can be sent 136 miles for 11 cemts, while the express companies now charge cents and more for like distances; from Calais, Me., to San Francisco, will cost 30 cents for five pounds, and $2.52 for 50 pounds, as against the express company charge of 85 cents and $7.50. ‘With the rural free delivery a part of the express system, an agricultural parcels post will market the farmers’ produce and save them the time and labor of marketing their truck. The advocates for a parcels post are for a system that will not only be self-supporting, but that will hasten the day of one-cent postage. EDITORIAL NOTES. Kansas has set out two million trees this year. No'wonder the whole coun- try talks about Kansas. The man who marries his sténogra- pher places himself in a position to be dictated | to instead of dictating. When Jim Hill wants recreation he goes to Canada salmon fishing.

Though there have ‘been many changes, I can recall many places of my beyhood days at schoel. The old schoolhouses 1 attended are no more: but in their places you have erected ones of which you may be proud. You did not forget to piace on the tap a flagpole; but, alas, to my surprise, T did not find the stars and stripes floating from them to instil patriot- ism in_the minds of the rising genera- tien. The little schoolhouse on Stur- tevant street has not even a rope on the pale.

Coats tend to cirve sharply away from the front in cutaway lines. Some blousés show a generous us: of Valenciennes or point de Venise. Every summer frock of sheer mate- rial must have its scarf to match. Children’s socks with openwork are decidzdly smarter than the plain ones. The fichu drapery is more and more used on afternoon and evening dresses. Chantilly lace is used in wide bands ofi afternoon ' dresses of foulard. Glass, porcelain or bone buttons may now be -bought to match almost any color. Black and whits striped linen suits will be the favorite tailored model for morning. ' French organdies will be worn this summer and may be had in exquisite colorings. Fabric hats are the summer innova- tion. They are trimmed with flowers or ribbons. Even veiled fabrics are frequently to be seen done in the approved tailor made effect. Blouses of white muslin usually show a pléated frill, wide or narrow, but always a frill. The new cobwebby crepes are lovaly for evening wear, and come in every delicate shade. Tiny buttons of colored enamel met- al, jet or stzel are much used on the new blouses. Garniture of cryvstal beads and jet are much used on evening frocks of chiffon and satin. Quantities of French laces—called “shadow” laces—are seen on some of the smartest models. Fourth of July Thoughts. 1t is not a bit too early to begin to plan for one's Fourth of July entertain- ing. Of course, one wants the patriotic colors to be in evidence as much as possible, whether at the picnic lunch- eon out of doors or the morz formal meal withi The shield-shaped boxes are to be had in the shops. These are just the thing for bonbons, salted nuts or one's entree, usually sarved in a china rame- kin. The round paper ramekins as- sume quite a festive air if dressed up with a fril] of the tri-colored crepe tis- sue or with three arate frills, one each of the red. white and blue. Uncle Sams there are plenty. to be used for table favors, while the’ red, whit> and blue crepe tissue which comes in ‘ong rolls makes as fitting a table cover as one could_desire. A little ingénuity and thought on the part of the coming hostess will surely suggest many a happy way of bring- ing in the national colors:. As to Silk Gloves. Silk gloves in color, as well as whi ara worn much this season. and a sen- ible fashion it is. Not only are the < glove nitely cooler than those of kid, but they are much more ecn- nomical, for, they may be easily wash- ed. To wash them, use only pure white soap and tepid watar. - Rinse well in tepid water, and then hang in a dark place to dry. White gloves soon grow vellow if exposed to the light while wet, and the more delicate shades will fade. It is wise to wash th2 gloves at night, and hang them in a closet to Then in the morning they will quite ready to wear. A Steak Hint.

Tack the plaits into place and then launder the dainty lin- en. A wondrous amount of trouble is saved by this simple expedient.

REDUCING. b As a change from the strenuous ex- ercises usually advised for obesity, why not embody 1] gymnastics in the every day tasks, thereby adding interest to the tacks and grace to the body? JIf your waist is inclined to thickness you can incline it to sup- pleness by always washing vour hands in the bottem of the bathtub. Do this, { if possible, wjthout bending knees. if faithfully pursued, this little pracfice will accomplish as much as ten min- utes of bending exercises. Have you -a desire to improve vour carriage and add weight to your ap- pearance? Have the hooks in Your wardrobe almost beyond your reach, so that every time you go for your hat or a garment you will Jiave to stretch vour arms upward and stand on tip- toe. Do mot sit down to put on your shoes and stockings. You may have to perform all sorts of queer antics to accomplish your purpese, but the bend- ing gxercise you go through in doing so iS worth more than those of the gymnasium, because you will work harder with a tangible object in vie air_brushing is a wearisome task. but if the desire to move with grace is put imto every stroke and if th- wrist is held firm. the action is cer- tain to be an excellent hand and wrist exercise. If you do your own market- ing walk to 2nd from the market brisk- y, taking long, even strides and swinging the limb from the hip with- out bending the knee. All the bending and reaching exercise of your house- hold work may be transformed into benefits, if they only will be consid- ered in that light and if the mind will work with the body in tabulating them as beneficial exercises instead of phy cal exertions. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE MOUSEWIFE. Grease spoQ"s.'gm cloth may be taken out by appl! a solution of salt in alcohol. To keep pancakes from being greasy, do not have the batter too thick and be _sure that the fat is piping hot. Tea should be made in a china or porcelain teaspot, for the chemicals in it will act upon tin, not only causing the beverage to lose its flavor, but making it injurious to the system. Two or three tablespoonfuls of pow- dered barley stirred into the tomata soup while it is boiling add substance and flavor. The tomatoes should be boiled for fifteen or twenty minutes with a slice of onian, a bit of bay leaf. a sprig or two of parsley and a coupls of stalks of celery. Strain the soup through a sieve, add the barley stirred smooth in a little cold water and cook in a double boiler for an hour. Season | with salt and pepper. White walists or dresses that have turned vellow from lying too long should be dipped in boiling water in which a tablespoonful of cream of tar- tar has been disolved, rubbing or “sousing” about for a few minutes; then rinsed thoroughly. Another meth- 0d of bleaching is to add & tablespoon- ful of coal oil to each pail of water in the boiler, put the articles in and {let boil for fwenty minutes, then re- move from the boiler inte very hot water and rinse, hanging, in the sun to a NOVEL COMB.

Fels-Naptha is better than an extra pair of handl; in housecleaning. - It makes dirt fly from walls, floors, woodwork, linoleum, windows, porcelain -fittings and anything else that’s clean- able, just as it does from clothes. Neo scrub-brush or hot water is nec= essary, mind you. Just Fels-Naptha, cool or lukewarm water, and a soft cloth. Fels-Naptha dissolves "the dirt in a jiffy so it can be rinsed away; it doesn’t have to be scoured off. ; As Fels-Naptha is also a germicide, it is a good sanitary precaution to do your housecleaning with it. ~Did you ever try wasning dishes with Fels-Naptha in lukewarm water? , It cuts the grease quick as a wink and makes the glasses shine.
