ARMY P08T AN ISSUE. Dei Moines Citliens Provide a Bite, but Council Blocks It. It Is probable tlint the question of a United Statets army post may be a ronslrtprablo factor In the Dps Moines rltjr election campaign next spring. The business men of the city nearly a year ago contributed tho funds nec essary to purchase n site for tho post, hut the city council dallies. One condi tion the government Insists on before establishing the post Is that the city shall annex tho territory comprising the proposed site. It Is generally de sired that tho post bo Insldo tho city, Jn order that the more stringent mu nicipal authorities may prevent the gathering of resorts about the govern ment property. The Glasgow Student Ills life Is plain and hard, and rath er poor In color. Ills clnss at 8 a. m. calls him early from his bed how early he who comes to It by train from the suburbs will tell yon. And what, after all. comes he out for to see? The tardy moon lighting him up the college hill, the windy quad rangle all dark, the lighted clnss room windows, a brisk Janitor selling the college magazine, the college bell, clat tering for five short minutes after the hour has struck. Its sudden stop, the scramble of men to enter while yet there is time, the roll call, the lecture, the bent heads of the note takers, the scraping their anxious feet lest a word be missed, the rustling of a spoiling paper, the smell of wet water proof In the hot air, tho Intolerable ilrelehness of (let us say) the con veyancing statutes, and then happy release! the college clock booming out the hour,' and once more the rain and wind In the quadrangle. No hand some reward this for early rlBlng! Classes meet all day long from 8 a. tn. till 6:30 p. m.; and. if our friend has a Spare hour, and Is eager for work, he goes across to the gaunt, warm reading room, where a comrade with a "call" may Invite him to defend everlasting as against eternal punish ment, or another with a foible for Jokes, may. In absent-mindedness tell him the same story thrice In 60 min utes. Porto Rico's Library Plans. According to recommended plans the Carnegie Library building for San Juan, V.

One good housekeeper told me she always had perfectly fresh eggs when eggs were not always fresh, and this !s the way she did It: When they were cheap and fresh she dipped them for an instant In hot, thin, gum-arablo water, draining them In a wire plate drainer, and then packed them away In the lark. Mrs. Larned, In the Wom an's Home Companion. Hie Cure of llitlr I r i.hes. No amount of washing of the hair will kcrp It clean If dirty brushes are UBed, yet persons otherwise fairly neat are careless In this respect. A spe cialist Bays that hair brushes should be washed once a week, and If used on hair In which there Is much dan druff twice a week Is not too often. The brushes should be washed In cold, not hot, water, to which cloudy am monia has been added In the propor tion of a scant tablespoon ful to a quart of water. Care should be taken not to wet the backs of the brushes and when washed and rinsed a good way to rinse them properly Is to use a shower spray on them they should be put on edge in the air to dry. Dressing combs too should be frequently cleansed, a comb cleaner being used for the pur pose. Colors tn Furnishings. In the furnishing of the house, or In the arrangement of a single room, many housewives do not give the at tention they should to color effects. It has ben prover that color and Its combinations may affect the mind In almost any mnnner desired. For exam ple, red gives the sense of warmth, and is exciting, even to animals. On the other hand, blue Is cold and quieting; It produces also tho effect of distance; It deepens a recess and makes the celling on which It is placed appear higher. Dlue subdues nil coi tus allied to yellow, orange, white and red by absorbing their light. Its strongest contrast is white. Yellow conveys the feeling of light nnd appears to advance toward the eye. It will lessen the height of a room or exaggerate the prominence of a mold; sng or other objectB on which It Is placed. It Is the most Intense of all colors. Blended with semi-neutrals, yellow Imparts to them a radiance not their own. It gives a particularly pleasing denniteness and brilliancy to the ((impound colors, such as buff, chest nut, hazel, dun, auburn, fawn, etc. Green is In Itself rather a dull color, and tho eftect of a large proportion of emeralds or bluish green lu a combi nation is apt to be harsh. Red Is the only color which remains stationary. Onions with Par.?lcy When the on ions aro ready to boil place a dozen llttlo sprigs of parsley In the kettle nnd remove when the onions am drained at the finish. Make a rich (ream sauce nnd add to it a tablespoon of chopped parsley and one has a much improved clsh. Parsley is a necessary accompaniment to onions, for It re moves ' tho odor and prevents their disagreeable aftertaste. Penny Tarts Mnke a filling of on? cupful .of raisins chopped fine, the Juica nnd rind of a lomon, one large cracker lolled fine, or tho same- amount of bread crumbs, or,e cupful of sugar, one tablcspconful of melted butter and one egg. Make the usual pie paEto and cut it into pieces three or four Inches square. Put a tablcspoonful of this mixture In the centre, pinch the edges together and bake cbout 20 minutes in a moderately hot oven. Eggplant Souffle Peel an eggplant and boll It until you can pierce it with a stiver fork; then drain and chop it very fine, using always a silver knife in handling it. Add to this pulp a scant teaspoonful of salt, a saltspoon ful of pepper, a tablcspoonful of melted butter, a teaspoonful of mushroom catsup or rauce, a cupful of fine bread crumbs and the beaten yolks of three eggs, reserving the frothed white ti fold in the batter at the last. Bake In either a large dish or individual sour ce dishes. Kenilworth Ranch Dumplings Take a quart of flour, one cup of good sweet lard and half cup of butter; rub this Into tho flour after It is sifted wltn one teatpoonful of baking powder; add enough milk to make a soft dough. This Is rolled out quickly into a sheet an inch thick and then cut in squares. Into each square la laid a half apple, peeled and cored and the crust tucked around It Have ready In a dripping pan a syrup made of one cupful of su gar to one of water; lay the dump lings In, bake In quick oven 80 to 40 minutes. Serve with an old-fashioned molasses sauce. Civilization of the Crows. Tha Crow Indians, once the terror of the plains, are now scheduled as among the moat Industrious and pros perous Indiana In the country. There are about two thousand of them on the Crow reservation In Montana, and they have been reported at Washing ton ns "Rclf nustalnlng." There are gradntlopa. of worthlessness even rmong the savages, and the Crows v.-ero mora energetic In their wild life than were many of the other tribes, nnd especially those of the Ccsist. It is not surprising, therefore, that they are more energetic In leml-clvil-Izeil life than the others and are ready sooner to dispense with government rations.

Mrs, Thomns dues not enlighten us as to What treatment sho pursuod during the months she was unable to atand, and dnring which timo she was suffering so much, but we venture to suggest that had she called In any well known medical man be would have at once have prescribed Bt.

Jacobs Oil bare been award ed twelve gold medals by different interna tional exhibition as tbe premier pain-killing remedy of tho world. Tbe committees who made the awards wore in each instance com posed largely cf the most eminent medical men obtainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did not know the high opinion in which St, Jacol), Oil la held by almost every progressive med ical man.
