A compound for treating chronic mastitis recently has been reported by Utah agricultural experiment station. It is colloidal silver oxide, 5 per cent, suspended in mineral oil. This treatment is effective only against mastitis caused by streptococci." In injecting the compound, wash the udder with a chlorine solution. Milk the infected quarter dry and disinfect the end of the teat with tincture of iodine. Ten cc. of the compound is injected into the teat canal, and, by massaging, the liquid is pressed upward into the milk cistern and into the entirp quarter. The milk should not be used for hu man consumption during and for 15 days after treatment. Other recent compounds proven satisfactory for various types of mastitis include tyrothricin, sulfan ilamide in oil and penicillin. iloq&hcaikadi qiyo ?imos wolfs X NEKOCUttHESYftlPVAN ) MAD?

Woman's World -J ' "? " . < ?t Ji Refresh Wardrobe by Restyling Garments No Longer in Fashion tBi} CAla MaLy , I THINK we can divide women into, two groups when they look into . their old clothes closets? There's the first group who make a wry face "and who try to get rid of these garments as quickly as pos sible. Then there's the second group. These women thoughtfully pick up each garment, consult their fashion notes and convert the dresses into something that could have come from a smart depart ment store. To the smart woman, there's not a dress no matter how old, that cannot prove useful if she is clever with the needle. Some garments naturally will require a good deal of restyling or even complete alter ation. Others will need just a slight change in neckline or skirt to make them completely new and re freshed. Dresses frequently discarded are old formats which look so woe begone when they come out of clos ets. Yet look at the beautiful mate rials in them, and think for a moment how nicely they could be made into perfectly beautiful house coats, new formats or fresh-look ing suits. If the neckline on an old formal is hopeless, it's an easy matter to alter this. Perhaps you will buy a bit of net and work this into a new type of yoke and sleeves. Sequinned straps may be taken apart and used at the wrists as seen in so many of the gowns showing Grecian in fluence. Or, take the sequins apart and use them as a decoration around the neckline, or clustered together in a design or flower. Make a Velvet Housecoat Out of an Old Formal If you have an old velvet formal or dinner dress of prewar vintage, you may be delighted to discover that the velvet is of an exquisite If you bare an old formal . , . quality. Restore it to life by steam ing, or have it cleaned profession ally. Your daughter may be looking for one of the new bare shoulder for mals to wear at her high school dance, and this might be just the material for her. There will prob ably be enough for just such a dress. If not, select a small quan tity of wide groscrain in match ing color and use it at the skirt or around the bodice for trimming. Another good idea for the velvet garment is a housecoat. If there is not quite enough material to make a comfortable coat of this type, plan to use coral and lime draping at the front, as this is a very effec tive combination with black velvet. Among the innumerable uses for this velvet, you might discover that the dress could be remodeled into a Victorian or Renaissance style formal for current wear. Recut the neckline, making it a square or sweetheart type, and add a bit of lace ruffling to give charm. This lace might also be used as an insert in the skirt or as a decoration around the wrists. Consider the Material When Doing Restyling Just as you select a new dress tor its appropriate material, you A Mskt * prrky tttii from U. must consider material when re modeling. I think you will find that old taffeta and satin formats can be made into bright, perky suits either for yourself or a teen-age daugh ter. These msterfals are luxurious 1 Shirt-Cuff Style \ .'???? i ? ? ? -i and require rather high style to set them off properly. For the present season you might like to make them into a lovely suit perhaps with a nood( >d "bustle. First select a good pattern and then prepare the material for your project. This will probably require ripping the whole garment apart as the remodeling will be a complete change from the former garment. Pay particular attention to such detail as the sleeves and the bustle and follow the pattern care fully. If there is not quite enough material, use contrasting ribbon, or modify the style just a little to; suit the individual wearer. Bustles are attractive only if they are styled correctly. A dress form is handy to have for moulding the lines carefully, as they may re quire slight adaptation from the orig inal style. Pin and baste carefully and then try the effect on the actual person and make any other nec essary adjustments before putting in the final stitches. You will have to sew both of these fabrics carefully to make them look their best. Allow plenty of room, as they do not give when worn. When sewing sheer material, set the machine stitches carefully, and test on a strip of fabric before you do any actual sewing on the accessory you are making. You may also use tissue paper under neath the material when sewing, as this gives the material more body while you stitch. This is eas ily ripped off when you finish the sewing. i Typical of Hansen Banc's flair for the bolero is this wine wool snit worn with a pink tucked crepe blouse. Roll collar and but toned shirt cuffs lend piqnaney to the jacket. Four flaps simulate pockets. Planning Wardrobat There are many interesting ways of choosing clothing for yourself. One of the best ways of appearing your most at tractive is always to choose col ors that blend well or contrast with your own personal type of beauty. If you have a lovely home, look ' to the colors you use in your rooms and "borrow" them for your wardrobe. Or, if you have a lovely picture print in color, test the colors against your own complexion and see if they can't furnish inspiration for your clothing. Check all colors you would use on yourself from all angles. See what they do for you under dif ferent lighting, and when you i are certain they flatter you al ways, use them as a basis for ( your wardrobe. It's always a good Idea to have one or two good basic dresses in the wardrobe, and several sets of accessories to go with them. If you have a suit, make sure it fits perfectly, and then build ' a wardrobe around it with differ ent blouses and dickies, hats, shoes and other accessories. Fashion Flashes Hats remain more flirtatious than rver tor the new year. You'll be teeing bright plumes, tufted satins tnd plenty of posies in the new lieadgear. Other hats seem to be a-glitter with sequins and more sequins, and here's no limit on colors in this iepartmaoC Yau'll find plant? of diver and gold aeqtrins along with nuM-coiored ones.

STRIKES OP ISM AROUSED DEMAND FOR LABOR LAWS Agitation (or labor-management legislation began with the railway onion strike, called by Eugene Debs in 1894.C Workers in the Pullman plants in Chicago were a part of the Debs organifeation. The strike start ed at Pullman, then spread to the railroads. Debs was a Socialist, and his or ganization was definitely socialistic. John Altgeld, then governor of IUi tois, although elected on a Demo eratic ticket, was sympathetic to the socialist cause. Until forced by the iction of President Grover Cleve land, he declined to take any action tor the protection of property. After Cleveland sent regular army troops Into the city to operate mail trains, Altgeld called out the state's nation il guard. The order came too late tor the militia to do a thorough job. At that time I was a member sf, and bad a minor command in the first regiment of the state guard. That regiment was as signed to the southeastern sec tion of the city, In which were located the Pnllman shops, the Illinois Central shops and the five-miles-long yards of roads eoming into the city from south and east. , ,, It was late afternoon when the mobilization order was issued and after dark when the regiment reached its designated position. That darkness was illuminated by the light of the burning freight and pas senger cars, thousands of them, in that long five miles of railroad yards. As I watched that terrific fire, started by frenzied men, it seemed that I was seeing the end of government and the beginning of an archy. LASTED A MONTH At the end of some 30 days it was over. The strikers had lost, and had gone back to such jobs as were left. Property destruction had re duced the number. Some months later workers at the Pullman plants were given a portion of the raise they had asked,. but it was months or years before that increase made up for their loss in strike-time wages. The property loss of the rail roads amounted to hundreds of mil lions of dollars. The court had en joined Debs, and his violation of that injunction brought for him a prison term in a federal penitentiary. That strika opened the long era of labor-management legis lation, tnclnding establishment of a labor department, with cab inet rank. With labor, presum ably, representing more votes than does management, that legislation has largely favored the demands of labor. Because of sneh actions as the threatened railroad strike of a year ago, the three months tie up of the automobile Industry, those that have affected the dis tribution of food, the coal strike of last spring and again this win ter. the public has protested, and now the pendnium will swing backward and away from labbr. Leaders of labor pressed the advantages they were enjoy ing beyond the limit. Generally the people were sympathetic to labor's wishes until those wishes and demands, and the methods used in enforcing them, directly affected the eonsnmer. The eoal strike brought directly home to the people as individuals the fall meaning of a labor dicta torship. It Is such labor disturb ances, those that directly affect the individual, that have swnng public opinion against labor leaders who eause the condi tions. It is a public opinion to which the congressional ear will listen. PRIVATE TAX ON COAL THE PEOPLE are expecting, as >no of the early acta of the new :ongress, legislation that will def nitely, permanently and effectively >utlaw any and all attempts to foist ipon the American consumer any ax, direct or indirect, not Imposed >y recognized government authority, the five cents a ton paid into the niner's union treasury by the oper itors for every ton of coal mined vas, and is, such a tax on the con lumer. That contract, made by In erior Secretary Krug, established a irecedent that can be Just as reason ibly applied to every line of produc ion. It is a tax that is passed along 0 the consumer. It Is, in no sense, 1 part of the mine worker's wages. Phe workers do not see it. Officials if the union collect it, and they alone letermlne its disposition. It is dis inctly unAmerican, unjust and un ustiflable. It definitely must be out awed by congress. ? ? ? JUST WHO Is the bees In these Inlted States? A news story print d at the time of the east coast loag horemen's strike said: "The gov rnment won permission from the trikers to onload seme food shim." Evidently H is the tabu loaders who re new telling as, the people, who bought we were kings, where wo et off. ? ? ?
