COUNCIL TO HELP
GOOD ROADS WORK
Appropriation Also Made For
Grand Rapids Fourth of
July Celebration
Resolutions were passed at the
monthly meeting of the village council
Monday night furthering the plans
both for Good Roads day and for the
Fourth of July. The village will have
the road, which will be worked on next
Tuesday, graded up and put in readi
ness for grading, according to the
plans of the council. The council
also appropriated one hundred dollars
toward the success of the Grand Rap
ids Fourth of July celebration.
A large number of bills against the
village were ordered paid and other
routine business was transacted.
Long discusion followed the mention
of the sewer at the west end of Fourth
street, but no definite action has been
taken.
A petition from residents of the
south side of the river was presented
to the council, asking that Sleeper and
Simpson avenues, between First and
Second streets south be opened. These
two blocks of public streets are now
inside the inclosure of the south side
ball park, and by the opening of the
street, pieces of the park would be
lopped off from either end. The
petition was not acted on, and will
not be until later in the summer. Ac
cording to members of the council it
is likely that action will be taken,
however, later. It was claimed that
the residents of the village, living
south of the park, claim that, besides
being disturbed by the ball games,
they are forced to cut across private
property to get to the main roads, and
that they need the use of the village
streets.
Frank McCormick, village marshal,
who is also a member of the health
commission, was instructed to notify
the people of the village that refuse
cannot be thrown into the streets or
alleys. Some of the alleys, especially,
it was claimed have been used for
common dump piles, and have become
not only unsightly but unhealthful.
REPUBLICANS NAME
CHARLES E. HUGHES
(Continued From Page One)
Willis 4, Borah 2, McCall 1, not vot
ing 1. On the second ballot Hughes
received seventy-five more votes, giv
ing him 328%, Root 98, Fairbanks
88%, Cummins 85, Roosevelt 81,
eeks 79, Burton 76%, Sherman 65,
Knox 37, LaFollette 25, DuPont 13,
Wanamaker 12, Harding 1, Wood 1,
McCall 1, and Willis 1.
When the convention met Saturday
and the roll was started for the third
ballot, it was seen that everything
was going Hughes’ way. State after
state announced a complete shower
to Hughes, and when the roll had got
as far as New Jersey the justice al
ready had the needed majority. The
final vote stood Hughes 949%, Roose
velt 18% Weeks 4, DuPont 5, La-
Follette 3. and absent 1. Later in the
afternoon word was received by
Senator Harding, chairman of the
convention, that Hughes would accept
the nomination, and the convention
adjourned.
The platform adopted by the Repub
lican convention attacked the Wilson
administration for its foreign policy,
contained a number of planks on pre
paredness and “Americanism,” called
for a high tariff, ship subsidy, a
literacy test for immigrants, and de
nounced the Underwood tariff. The
Progressive platform, was much the
same, excet more space was given
to demands for social and industrial
justice, and to woman suffrage. The
Republicans put woman suffrage as
a state issue, as President Wilson has
done.
The Democratic convention will
meet in St. Louis today. The prelim
inary work has been got out of the
way, and it is believed the convention
will be in perfect harmony. The
platform will contain an endorsement
of the work of the administration in I
the past four years.
Chester A. Congdon of Duluth was '
elected republican national committee
man by the Minnesota delegation.
IMPORTANTWORK
WITH PEAT LANDS
That the address on the experiments
with the peat land of the state, by F.
J. Alway of the University of Min
nesota, will be of great interest and
was one of the subjects which will |
have great attention from the people ,
of the northern part of the state in !
future years, was the prediction made 1
by Otto I. Bergh of the state experi
mental station, here Saturday. Mr.
Bergh has been working on these ex
periments for some time and the
Grand Rapids farm was prominently
mentioned by Dr. Alway. There has,
as yet, been no appropriation made
by the state for the work, but has
been carried on here independently.
Mr. Bergh said that by the end of
the year the Grand Rapids farm would
have a greater variety of experiments
to show than any other station in the
country. There were others, he said,
which had larger acreage, but in the
number and variety of crops which
were being tried out and in the num
ber of methods being used to treat
soil, the station here will be in the
lead. The peat soil here, he said,
was very sour, lacking the lime that
is found in many of the peat soils.

A HYGIENE NOTE.
How to Clear the Complexion Without
Dosing Your System.
A glass of hot lemonade taken night
and morning is a good thing to clear
the complexion. Squeeze half a lemon
into a tumblerful of boiling water,
sweeten very slightly and drink as
soon as it is cool enough.
Another thing a girl with a muddy
complexion should do is to have a
quick all over soap and water wash
every morning with very hot water
and then a sponge down with cold,
ending up with a good rub with a
rough towel.
As to food, don’t eat rich, highly
seasoned things. Light homemade
pastry doesn’t hurt; neither do plain
cakes, but don’t go in for tinned salm
on and lobster, curry or rich, heavy
cakes, and don’t drink much coffee or
cocoa.
Now, as to the way to treat your
face itself: If your skin is really very
thick and muddy it is an excellent
thing to wash it every night at bed
time with very hot water and “green
soap.” Lather your face well and you
will find the soap brings away black
heads and is most cleansing, but it is
only suitable for really thick skin. It
is apt to irritate a fine or thin skin.
Let the soap remain on a few min
utes, then rinse it off in very hot wa
ter.
In the morning sponge your face with
cold water and then wipe it over with
eau de cologne and water or a little
camphor and water.
How to Avoid Nervousness In This
Rackety Age.
No one can help feeling nervous at
times in this age of rush and racket,
but every woman should remember
that the more she controls this feeling
the longer she will retain her beauty.
It is quite possible to put on the brake,
as it were, and not let the nerves run
away with us. If‘people fret you it is
not necessary to be rude to them. Try
instead to avoid them.
Don’t read books that irritate you.
1 Books are plentiful. Therefore put
away the offending volume and choose
। another. If a noise at night worries
you don't let it continue to do so. Get
up and see to the matter and put it
! right.
Don’t let yourself get into the habit
of being bored. It is not worth while.
When you feel it coming on plunge at
once into some task that will take all
your time and energy. It is better to
run away from certain things than to
let them irritate you.
I How to Provide a Suitable Receptacle
For Soiled Linen.
A wicker hamper is perhaps the ideal
laundry container. But it must be
kept clean. One enameled white looks
so clean that it is hard to remember
that it may harbor impurities, even
germs. It must be washed in hot wa
ter occasiontlly and dried in the sun
shine, and then occasionally it can be
further refreshed with a clean coat of
enamel.
How to Remove White Spots on Your
Pet Mahogany Furniture.
The white spots which hot dishes
often leave on tables and other wood
en surfaces can be removed by apply
ing a mixture composed of equal parts
of alcohol, olive oil and pure cider
vinegar. Shake well before using.
Rub well with a woolen cloth and pol
ish with another soft woolen cloth.
How to Mend a Lace Curtain Without
Large Expense.
A simple way to mend lace curtains
after cleaning them is to take a small
piece of old lace curtain or net the
size of a hole, dip it in a little cold
starch and place on the curtain to be
mended; then press with a hot iron.
It does not show It was mended.
CANDLELIGHT is perhaps the
softest and prettiest light in the
world, and now that we have
every sort of electric contriv
ance to make our houses lighter we
are turning our attention more and
more to candles.
Unshaded candles are still used on
the dinner table, although shades are
used too. So individual taste may be
depended on to decide the matter. If
you desire to carry out a color scheme
have shades of silk or paper for your
candles. If you want as much light as
possible have the unshaded candles.
There are even new candles in vari
ous designs in black and white, and
these are in keeping with the many
other things that result from the fad
for black and white interiors. Some
times they are set in black and white
candlesticks.
Fringe of little glass beads gives a
sparkle to candlelight. It can be
bought by the yard and fastened on
any candle shades you may have. So if
you have silver shades colored fringe
that may be easily changed with a lit
tle sewing and ripping for some other
color can be used.
Colored candles, too, can be bought,
and with these the table color scheme
can be emphasized.
Before using candles make them as
cold as possible in the refrigerator. In
fact, it would be a very good plan to
keep candles in a tin box in the refrig
erator. This chilling process hardens
the candle so that it burns much more
slowly and therefore lasts much longer
than an unchilled candle does.
THAT KITCHEN STOVE.
How to Build a Coal Fire Without Re
sorting to Strong Language.
Before starting to build a fire free
the grate from ashes. To do this put
on covers, close the front and back
dampers and open the oven damper.
Turn the grate, and ashes will fall into
the ash receiver. If these rules are not
followed ashes will fly over the room.
Turn the grate back into place, remove
the covers over firebox and cover the
grate with pieces of paper twisted in
the center and left loose at the ends.
Cover the paper with small sticks or
pieces of pine wood, being sure that
the wood reaches the end of the fire
box and so arranged that it will admit
air. Over pine wood arrange hard
wood; then sprinkle with two shovels
of coal. Put on cover, open all closed
dampers, strike a match and apply un
der the grate and you have a fire.
When it gets to burning well put on a
sprinkle of coal. After the gas has
burned out close up most all of the
dampers, leaving a little opening on
the slide of door where you remove
ashes, and that makes a draft to keep
the fire burning. If you shut it all up
your fire would go out. Never allow
the firebox to be more than three
fourths filled. When full it checks the
draft. A large amount of fuel is con
sumed and much heat is lost. Coal
when red hot has lost most of its heat.
Some refuse to believe this and insist
upon keeping dampers open until most
of the heat has escaped into the chim
ney.
How to Keep Children’s Garters From
Tearing Stocking Tops.
Even with a very good quality of
garters the knob shaped catch to which
the stocking is attached is liable to
break. When this happens sew on in
its place a white shoe button, being
careful to use the largest procurable
size, and you will be surprised to find
it wholly satisfactory.
To save the top of a stocking from
being worn out by the supporter fas
tening attach a small brass ring to a
piece of tape and sew the tape to the
stocking. Clasp the supporters through
the rings, using rings that will allow
them to slip through.
If one happens to be without the
regulation chamois protectors for gar
ters, put a bit of tissue paper over the
fastening. It will prevent the threads
of the stocking from running down.
How to Mend China Not Smashed In
Too Many Pieces.
A splendid cement for china is made
as follows: Into a thick solution of
gum arable and water stir thoroughly
plaster of parts until the mixture is of
the consistency of cream. Apply with
a brush to the broken edges of the
china and join together. In three days
the article cannot be broken in the
same place. The whiteness of the ce
ment also adds to its value.
How to Have an Attractive Bit of
Greenery All Winter.
Have you ever grown a fern ball?
This Japanese novelty is very attrac
tive. It can be grown in a pot, but is
prettier hanging from a string. It
must be thoroughly soaked for an hour
before hanging it up. Repeat this
treatment every other day and never
allow it to become perfectly dry.
How to Clean the Tiles That Are
Smudgy and Dull.
Often the tiles in a hearth become
so stained that water will not clean
them. Try rubbing them with a piece
of flannel soaked in turpentine; then
wash them with a dry cloth. The tiles
will then look fresh and new.
MAYOR CALLS OUT
GRAND RAPIDS MEN

Economy
Hints
handle spades or shovels or even
rakes, will be out to show what the
Grand Rapids community can do
working together. The work which
is to be done is considered important,
as the road in question is one of the
most traveled roads leading out of
the village, and its imrovement will
be of great benefit to the people of
the village and to the many people
who come to the village over that
route. It is hoped that there will be
about two hundred men out for the
day. Last year there were nearly 150.
According to Mr. Passard there will
be a number of teams for hauling
the gravel and with the right kind of
support from the men of the village,
it is claimed that surprising progress
will be made on the road. The road
bed will be thoroughly prepared be
fore Good Roads Day.
