Dr. Willien Says Conditions Among School Children Are Such As to Call for Congratulation.

\:Vl?err© Haute is to be congratulated this year upon the condition of health I fI'iwrailing" among the thousands of :|n^chUdren Who entered school Monday. "Tbe health conditions among the j|g|p£hUdren are very good," said Dr. W. Rl Willien, secretary of the board of 15 health, last night. There are a few s?*, 1 oases of scarlet fever, but as many cases of disease are usually to te expected.

Incidentally Dr. Willien said a few .things about the general health of the city. Terre Haute has been perfectly healthy this summer, while the health board has expended less money to' obtain this result than any other department of the city's administration.

The funds of the board have been administered economically, according V to Dr. Willien, and the city as a corporate body has suffered less from i/ POor health than any city in the state. "I wish people would cut their weeds," said Dr. Willien, and explained that weeds are splendid germ -carriers and that there would be even Spg?sickness if the weeds were eliminated.

I ®r' Willien added that while Terre is practically free from typhoid %V«r "he advised the precaution of boilall

water.- Indianapolis, he said, is in the grasp of a terrible epidemic this dread malady.

DEATH ENDS CAREER OF PIONEER TEACH)

Mrs. Sarah Knapp Davis Pointed Way for Children for Nearly Half Century.

After 48 years' work in the city schools of Terre Haute, Mrs. Sarah K. Davis died Friday evening at the home of her niece, Mrs.Lon Benson,.in Bridgeton, Ind., where she had been since June in an effort to regain her health. In her death the state lost its oldest primary teacher. Mrs. Davis began her work in the local schools 48 years ago as a teacher in the Phil Sheridan school, but for a

lottboi

SARAH KNAPP DAVIS.

number of years she had been assistant principal of the Voorhees school, remaining a primary teacher through all of the years of her work on account of her great love for small children.

She Was the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. E. M, Knapp of near Lebanon Springs, New York, and came to Terre Haute with her parents when she was a child. She was about 69 years old. She was educated in the Terre Haute punlic school while Prof. Alcott was principal. She did not attend the normal school, but during her summer vacations for a number of years she attended the Chicago university, and took a special course in elocution.

Previous to her career as a teacher the ministry appealed strongly to her and she studied for two years to fit herself to become a Unlversalist minister, and at the age of 18 delivered a sermon In the Unlversalist churchy the building now occupied by Prox & Burgett, but 0n account of the objections of her mother she gave up the idea a,nd entered ^he city schoolf as an instructor.

She was married to John Davis, and after his death thirty years ago she gave up a great deal of her public work and withdrew from the church entertainments and other affairs of this nature in which she had taken part through her speaking ability.

She was secretary of the Terre Haute chapter O. E. S., No. 43, for the last fifteen years, a lifetime chaplain of the ladies of the G. A. R., and an active member of the Saturday circle, a literary society.

Sunday afternoon between the hours of 3 and 5 has been set aside to give the school children an opportunity to pay their last respects at the residence of Mrs. Davis' sister, Mrs. Hiram Steele, 628 North Sixth street, where the body will be kept until the funeral at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon. Rev. L. Curtis Talmage will have charge of the services, and burial will be in Highland Lawn cemetery.

Paul J. Wiley, who for some years has been connected with the Garland Stove and Range company, and who for many years was manager of the stove and range department of the C. C. Smith Co., has taken a similar position with the Scott & Hart Furniture company of 303 Wabash avenue. Mr. Wiley said last night: "It's like getting back home. We have added two lines, the Garland and Acorn stoves and ranges, with which firms I have seen many years' service. So I won't be apy strangr in my new location."

haps all three. And it was there that I fully realized the utter foolishness of attempting to dry clean and press clothing at home. We haven't the proper knowledge in the first place and if we did it would be too expensive to put into operation on a small scale In the second place. "Probably it isn't the thing to ask you about the secrets of the trade," I said to Mr. Powers. i "There are no secrets now. I have put out two or three hand books on cleaning and dyeing, so the whole thing is open," he answered. "But when I was learning the trade the mixers of the dyes held the dyes under their aprons to prevent any one seeing."

Let's follow a waist through the dry cleaning process. It is really quite similar to the workings of a laundry only a dry liquid instead of wet is used.

First a record of the waist is carefully, made as to the name of its owner, time it was received, time wanted, and so on. It is next searched for any pins—valuable or otherwise—that may have been left on it. If a pin is found it is removed, a number attached to it corresponding to one given the waist so that it may be returned with it. In fact, so strict is this searching prounder a •btmar "w' f^vay-mfwm^ar

NOT A BUTTON LOST IN EXPERT DYE HANDS

Busy Cleaning Establishment Worth a Visit—Some Marvels of Modern Plant.

By Nora Ball Ragsdale.

Outgrowing their old quarters at 1223 Wabash avenue, the Powers Cleaning and Dyeing company is just being installed in its new quarters at Thirteenth and One-half and Crawford streets. It was here, under the information given out by James T. Powers, president and manager of the company, that I received first hand knowledge of how your garments and mine are

into a tub of gasoline and soap. The soap is imported, being made especially for use in the,gasoline, and would become like resin if placed in water. Tjtie soap cleanses and the gasoline carries away the dirt. After the waist has remained in the first tub a certain length of time, it is placed in a second, a third and a fourth until it is finally ready for the extractor and placed in the dry room. "This is where we put the girls (employes) when they're bad," Mr. Powers said, opening a doOr and I followed him in. I decided, however, I had not committed a single offense for which I needed a near-brimstone punishment, and escaped. I had been in the drying room.

The waist is next pressed, numerous contrivances being arranged for the pressing of the garment back into correct lines, which makes the work simple and yet does it in a manner absolutely impossible in the ordinary home.

Perhaps most of us didn't know that

i v o v V I u o u i u u 1 Y 1 I U W

Per" gasoline used fcor cleaning purposes is

distilled I didn't. But it is—distilled right in the cleaning establishment. A part of the distillation is giving it a water bath. "If one drop of water, however, should get mixed with the gasoline it would be absolutely ruined," Mr. Powers explained.

A waist is only one little insignificant piece of tons of garments that are cleaned or repaired in various ways at the plant. There are last year's dresses which may be dyed coats that may be given similar treatment suits of clothing and overcoats without number sweaters, pennants, gloves, and so on and so forth. It would be astonishing to know how many garments we meet on the street that have changed color. It can be done so excellently that only an expert would be able to deitect the change.

Now, For the Button.

Button, button, button, whose got the button that come off of Johnny's coat or Eddie's vest. "Oh, well, it's all right, we'll send it to the cleaners and they'll put the button on," so say dozens and dozens of folks who have become familiar with the Powers' button providing policy. "We use hundreds of dozens of buttons," Mr. Powers said, "it keeps one woman busy all the time sewing them on." And there's no extra charge for this service either. Funny how some little idea will, take such firm root that it oan be let go of if one wants to. That's how the button habit has grown on the Powers' company.

There are pressing boards and steaming boards by which clothing is disinfected at the same time it is being pressed. To me, a steaming board was extremely interesting. Such garments as bath robes or blankets are passed over it, are dry steamed and cleaned and the nap is raised on them just as if they were new garments.

Plant Worth a Visit.

Mr. Powers is still well stocked with dye supplies—having had his shelves well filled when the war broke out. But he has added four pounds that were brought over on the daring trip of the Deutschland.

The new cleaning and dyeing plant has been erected with a view to eliminating lost motion plenty of air and light, and to give the best service. The light and air particularly will appeal to the public who want to know that their garments have been through a sanitary cleaning or dyeing. There has been quite a bit of space left to expand when the business demands but In the meantime, this ground will be converted into beauty spots of flowers and grass.

A visit through a plant of this kind is well worth while and Mr. Powers expects 'to invite anybody who wishes to come when the installation is completed.

STATIONARY ENGINEERS MEET.

A meeting of the National Association of Stationary Engineers, branch No. 8, was held in the Pythian temple last night. The evening was devoted to a genreal discussion of engineering subjects. Ira Turner, delegate from the local branch, left for Minneapolis, Minn., last night to attend the national convention of the N. A. S. E., which will be in session Sept. 12, 13,14 and 15.
