EXPANSION!

Yes, this is our aim. We want
to expand all over western Colo
RADIO and eastern Utah. But
"charity at home begins" We
wish to state to our customers md
friends that we have some time
ago invented \ new process for
enameling White Shirts, Collars,
Cuffs and also one for Flannells.
You will always find our Shirts,
Collars and Cuffs snowy white,
stiff, but pliable, and you cannot
break them. You may wind them
around your finger, and after you
release them they at once resume
their proper shape. Have your
work done properly. We know
how. Our wagon will call for it
and deliver promptly.

on this cardboard in what might be
called orderly disOrder-that Is to say,
the arrangement follows a regular plan,
but all stiffness and rows of straight
lines are avoided. The photographs
are either lightly pasted on the card

About AppIes.

We have all heard that ian apple at
night starves the doctor outright" and
a plentiful fruit season affords us the
opportunity of putting the prescription
to a test. Apples contain a large
amount Of iron and other blood con-
stltuents. and for this reason are a
valuable tonic. Those who cannot pos
sibIy eat them raw should have them
cooked by roasting or baking, and al
ways with the skin left on. Before
baking cut the skin In an even circle
all round the apple, removing. too, a
piece OF the core. and putting a morsel
of butter in It's place. The cutting of
the skin prevents it cracking and the
loss Of the inside. while the butter
makes the skin crisp and brown. No
sugar will be needed with apples cook
ed In this way. and more often than
not 1t is the sugar eaten with fruit that
causes 1t to disagree.

UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT.
Suggestions For a Mother Goose and
Thimblc Party.


In these times, when thimble parties
are so often the means of entertain
ing. it behooves the hostess to incor-
porate into the sewing meeting some
thing which will bring her visitors to-
gether and establish cordial relations.
Guessing contests of various natures
always prove interesting, often mirth
provoking. and usually have the de-
sired effect of enabling the guests to
become acquainted more quickly.
Following is a suggestion from The
Ladies' World which, If carried out in
a proper spirit. would doubtless prove
enjoyable. Il is a Mother Goose ram
ble:"
Your guests are simply invited to 20

No intimatlon OF the game must be
given, as that would spoil the fun en-
tirely.

known pictures as Little Tommy
Tucker" Little Jack Horner," "Bo
Peep" "L!stle Boy Blue" Jack and
JILL" Jack Sprat and His Wife,"
"Tom, Tom," etc, and some of the less
familiar ones, as Bah, Bah, Black
Sheep" "a Dillar, a Dollar" "The
I Woman Who Lived on Victuals and
Drink"
Free these pictures from all text and
mount them singly on uniform size

them and indicate these numbers In

After your guests have arrived and
before their little workings are
brought out hang these pictures in
various parts of one or two rooms and
give each a large card, containing the
numbers up to %. leaving generous
spaces opposite the numbers. Now
announce that they are to discover who
the pictures represent and to write
the verses belonging to each. They
may start at any point, taking care
to maintain a strict correspondence
between character and number.
When sufficient time has been given
collect papers and appoint judges.
Needlework can now begin and may
continue until the lunch is announced

are called algulllettes. Any pretty

Infinite variety is there in the waist
belts now sold. One corselet clasps the
waist snugly and is arranged on the
upper edge in vandykes, while q point
at the back and another at the front
account for the adornment Of the other
edge. A sunburst of sequlns trims the
belt at the back, but at the front for
a robust figure. where II tapers down
to the waist, there is only handsome
and very long buckle. For absolutely
practical shooting, walking and cy-
cling costumes a smart leather belt has
Just been introduced shaped to the fig
ure.
PrettIer and more winsome than they
have even been are the lace and cut
linen collars offered this autumn. One
of them, called the mousquetalre, out
lines the shoulders perfectly and is fin
ished in front with three stiff little
black velvet bows. But consult tho

and caused a street to be opened that
others had tried to have open without
success.
At Stookbridge, kass., municipal pride

The women organized to improve and
beautify the town. The streets were
drained and graded, people were persuaded
30 take down their fnces, deceat sidewalks
were laid, and system OF lighting and
watering was provided.
The society paid half the cost Of erecting
. pretty railway station. and planted the
station grounds in trees, 1Jwers and

Down one Of the streets an unhewu

The German grape cure continues as
popular as ever abroad. As has often
been proved, grapes are most nutri-
tious and are of especial benefit to
those who suffer from an9mia or any
kind of indigestion. In taking q grape
cure it is necessary to follow a course
of diet, which, however, Is not very
strict. The patient begins by eating
a daily quantum of grapes. about to
~ pounds. and more than one person,
before the end of the cure, has been
known to eat as many as Z pounds a
