Mr. Hall of Bibb, says “A woman’s
got no business practicing law.
She ought to stay at home and raise
babies.”
The average business or profes
sional woman no doubt, would pre
fer to stay at homo and raise babies,
provided, of course ,she could do so
as the wife of some deserving man
and desirable husband. But, accord
ing to statistics, there arn’t enough
men to go around, not even In
cluding the undeserving and untfo-
sirable. Thus It is that women who
were not taught to be self-sustain
ing and who feel unable to cope
with men in the business world, too
often consent to become the wives
of dissolute men and the mothers of
Inferior children. And the fact that
the most immoral man has always
been able to marry some good
woman, has not helped to create a
higher standard of morality In
men.
If women were taught to be self-
sustaining and allowed to follow
their Inclinations In the matter of
earning a living, with fair compensa
tion for their work, there would be
fewer unhappy marriages and a
notable improvement in the morale
of both men and women. Moreover,
the men who are opposed to women
practicing law or competing with
men in any of tho professions, should
The people who say so much
about our lax divorce laws say lit
tle or nothing about our lax mar
riage laws and the ministers and
magistrates who Join togeher boys
and girls of Immature minds and
bodies, or worse still, youth with
old age, run-away couples and ac
quaintances of a week, a day or an
hour. Fqw reformers attack the
roots of evil, but employ their time
in frantically lopping of
branches. Their intentions are good
but their mode of procedure is very
bad.

*****************
At this time of the year the selec
tion of a suitable outfit for the sum
mer outing is a matter of serious
consideration. The best choice de
pends In a great measure upon the
place where one intends to spend
the summer months. A fashionable
seashore demands a different outfit
from that which would be suitable
for a more popular resort and,
course, the same may be said as to
the requirements m mountain
aorta and In lake resorts.
White serge Is an excellent ma
terial for shore resorts or yachting
and women whose summer plans in
clude a sojourn on the eea shore
will find it almost indispensable to
provide themselves with one or two
frocks of lightweight serrgo In white
or in stripes of black upon a white
ground. These frocks can easily be
made at home or can be purchased
for very little at the shops.
The white silk serge, which Is
found In many qualities In the fash
ionable shops, may be made up on
severely tailored lines or in dr<
semi-tailored fashion, and a little
heavy lace, Irish or filet by prefer
ence, is often used as trimmings,
appearing in the shape of a big col
lar If in nothing else. Embroidered
muslin may be used as a collar in
place of the lace, and occasionally
a model shows a collar of hemstitch
ed chiffon In black or blight color,
failing over a collar of the silk or
a collar of striped silk in black and
whit© or white and color.
On the white serge frocks and
coat B similar collars and trimming
Ideas are exploited and plain one-
tone satin In black or bright color
Is^also used for relieving touches.
An exceedingly chic little coat and
frock costume of fine white serge
falling low over a skirt band of
black satin and black satin was also
used for the collar, cuffs and sash
belt of the Jaunty short coat, as well
as for the buttons of the costume.
Another modish white serge had
big revers of hemstitched purplo
chiffon draped across the front of
the coat from the right shoulder to
the left side of the high waist line.
Big buttons were embroidered
a purple cordellere defined the
waits.
But the best looking of the white
serges and white black stripe wool
ens are the more simply tailored
models with color Introduced, but
lightly If used at all. Some French
models are stitched In silk of bright
colors and have touches of the same
color about the collar and girdle.
Colored linen too Is used upon
white serge, dull blue, bright brown,
rose or green linen forming collar,
cuffs and perhaps trimming bhnds.
One good model In white serge had
linen trimming In dull blue, and
upon tblg blue linen were narrow
bnndg of white linen set with linen
of little black buttons.
Collars and cuffs of white linen
hemstitched In bright color are pret
ty upon a simple, one-piece white
serge frock, and a cravat and leath
er belt may repeat the bright color
of the hemstitching. The striped,
serges require even less trimming |
than the all white, trimming effect*
New Fircless Cooker.
A new flrelev cooker is made
much like a refrigerator with a door
that opens at the front and three
shelves for foods. The box Itself is
of sheet Iron, with an outer frame
of wood. The top of the stove has *
heavy sheet of galvanised iron on
which the gas burners are mounted.
The gas i B lighted 1 and left burning
until all the foods to be cooked are
heated through thoroughly and then
It Is turned out, the hood la let down
and the cooker does Its work In the
usual way. The top of the stove
may bo used like any gas stove,
when the tireless cooker it not want
ed.
For Sleeplessness.
A sufferer from Insomnia states
that she was cured of sleeplessness
by the simplest mean*, that of eat
ing raw onion sandwiches Just be
fore going to bed. Less disagreeable
to some people 1 B another sandwlcn
cure which has been vouched for by
buttering thickly two thin slice*
of bread, then sprinkle them with
cayenne pepper. These sandwiches
should be eaten just before getting
into bed, and sleep Is said to quick
ly follow.
The hot water treatment Is ad
vocated by many people. It consists
of putting the feet into water a*
hot ae can be borne before going
to bed, also to drink a cup of very
hot water.
Good Things to Eat.
Vegetable Jelly.—In place of the
usual tomato Jelly, make a vegeta
ble Jelly. Cook together a carrot,
onion, cucumber, a beet and any
other vegetables that you may have.
Strain the liquor and color it frith
simple vegetable coloring matter.
Add enough dissolved ' gelatin to
make a Jelly; pour the mixture into
cups and when hard turn out on let
tuce leave* and serve with mayon
naise.
Chocolate Cake.—Two cups milk,
two cups sugar, two cups flour, two
eggs (yoke In cake, white for frost
ing,) one cup grated chocolate,
four teaspoons baking powder, two
tableepoonful melted butter. Boil
thoroughly the chocolate, sugar,
yolks of egg B and half of the milk;
when cold add the rest. Bake In
layers and put together with frosting.
Scalloped Tomato—Butter a pud
ding dish, season one quart of to-
jmatocs, salt and peper to taste, sugar
it desired. Sprinkle your^baking dish
with buttered crumbs, hake until
crumb* are brown. Raw tomatoes
sliced may be used In layers alter
nating with the crumb* and season

Death to the Flic*.
“Many different kinds of fly-trap*
are used in different parts of tho
world. In Western Australia it
declared that flies may be effectual
ly destroyed by putting a half spoon
ful of black pepper in powder on
teaspoonful of brown sugar and ono
teaspoonful of cream. Mix all to
gether and place In a room yrhero
files ar© trnblesome and it is sal a
they will soon disappear.
“Dr. Paul Freer of Manila tell*
the writer that In Japanese hospi
tals they take a whole potato and
stick it full of toothpicks, put fly
paste on the toothpicks, and hang
the potatoes from the celling over-
the patient’s bed on cord. The flies
all gather on the potato. When It i*
full they throw the potato away and
make a new trap.”
Fly Poisons.
A ten-per cent solution of ordi
nary formaldehyde (ask your drug
gist) In a shallow dish of water
sweetened with sugar will attrack
and kill many flies. Dr. Hodge,
speaking of thi* method, this year,
advised using a teaspoonful of
formalin to a teacup of water.
As this formalin solution Is non-
poisonoim to man, It may bo used
readily, even about food. Tho files
will not object to the presence of the
poison in the sweetened water, and,
eagerly drinking, will die close to
tho dlPh where they may be be swept
Tho fly committee of the Mer
chants’ Association of New York es
pecially recommends the use of this
solution. •
Where It l B used, there should be
no other liquids In the room for
flies to drink. It is especially effec
tive early In the morning, when the
flies first take wing.

The whereabouts or the fate of
Will UcOrlff, tho negro who was
the principal In the terrible .hoot
ing affair near Deorun \ -eeday
mornls<W» ^{ixouded In deep mys
tery. All eorts of rumors are rife,
but none of them seen capable of
verification. It haa been reported
time and again that McGrlff has
been captured and lynched. A. fast
as then report, are denied they
bob up‘.gain.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Rohberg
returned to the city last night from
the neighborhood of the killing,
where hi haa been since the morn
ing of the tragedy. He was In the
thick of all of the excitement and
woe himself at the head of a posse.
Rehberg positively and emphatical
ly dentes any knowledge of a lynch
ing or of any knowledge of the ne
gro’s whereabouts. He say. the
nearest approach to a lynching oc
curred at tho home of McOrlff’s
parents. The searchers had been
trying to locate the fugitive. Mc-
Oriff’a father denied having seen
him since the crime and later
finder pressure admitted that his
ipurderer son had visited the home
the night after the killing. It was
with difficulty that Rehberg pre
vented the crowd from doing the
old man violence because of the de
ception. Rehberg Insists that to
far as bis knowledge goes McOrlff’s
brotfie’r Is the only negro who has
been taken and that no harm was
done.
On tho other hand prominent cit
izens of Deorun and Bridgeboro ex
press It as their private belief that
McGrlff Is dead. They point to the
significant fact that all excitement
has died' down and that no ono In
the Immediate neighborhood of the
tragedy seems Interested any more
even Inclined to talk. One
rumor has Is that after tho ofllcors
were out of the way McOrlff was
caught and literally .hot and cut to
pieces. While all !g' mystery these
persistent rumors lend thinking
people to believe that there Is some
thing back of It all. Sheriff Boyd
who has not been to the scene of
the killing since Tuesday, knows
nothing.—Moultrlo Observer.
