The Crusade in Brief.

How many of the medical profession

The State liquor license law Of South
Dakota prohibits the sale of liquor to ha'
oitual drunkards, any vio.ator OF the law
being liable fo- damages incurred by the
irunlsard while intoxicated. .

Don't Let 1t Be Forgotten.

We need scarcely remind you that the
iouor traffic, which is sought to be legai.
zed by the license section, is one that
ieeply concerns not only the honor OF
his great State, but also the material,
moral and social interests of all the peo-t
,le. There is not home or hamlet IN
ihe State that is beyond its influence.
It's evils are widespread and far-reachlng.
Consider what the consequences will be
e the license section carries: First, we
will legalize this great wrong, we Will
nve the sanction Of the Constitution and
The laws of this great, free and lntelh,,
rent State to this most degrading and
:uinous of all human pursuits, so that
;he men who are spreading ruin and
Ieath may say to all protesters: Stand
side; my business has received the sacred
anction of the law, and is therefore legal
md right" Can we afford thus legally
10 sanction a great wrong?
Second, by legalizing this traffic we
gree to share with the liquor seller the
responsibilities and evils of his business.
Every man who woes for license becomes
II necessity a partner to the liauor
traffic and all its consequences.-Wlll-

CHAPTER XII,

Clifford was so entii-a ely taken by

first moment that he was hurt. The

blow, and finding Jem outside coolly

with one hand. snatched his knife
from him and flung it away with the
other, and then hurled the man from
him with such violence that the latter

stone ledge Of q window lay motion

Then, suddenly overcome by feel

affray, now pressed into the room.
George Claris was among the first
to enter. and he frowned angrily on
seeing Clifford, of whose arrival be

claimed surlily, on recognizing the
man whom lie looked upon as the orr

Woman's Fancy Waist.

Fancy waists are in great demand
both for odd bodices and entire Co.'S
tunes designed for indoor wear. The
very pretty May Manton model shown
In the large drawing is adapted to
both purposes equally we'll and admits
of many combinations. The original
is made of pale pink Sapho satin,
with bolero and deep cuffs Of cream
lace over white and bands Of black
panne satin; but all white, white with
color, or any color banded with the
same shade in velvet would be effec-
tive, in addition to which the bolero
and cuffs could be made Of panne or
Persian brocade in place Of lace.
The lining includes double darts,
under arm cores and side-backs, and
fits snugly and smoothly. On it are
arranged the several portions Of the
waist and the TWO close together at
the back beneath the centre box
pieat.
The yoke is simply banded with
folds, but the lower portions Of back
ard front are laid in narrow box pleats
that extend from its lower edge, be-
meath the bolero to the belt. The
bolero can be made entirely separate
and the waist worn with or without
or caught at the upper edge and in
Guided in the arm's-eye seams. The
sleeves are novel and becoming. The
lower portions are covered smoothly
to form cuffs that flare over the hands,
while the pieats Of the upper portions
fall free to form puffs at the elbows.
When desired low neck and with ell
bow sleeves the yoke and cuffs can
be omitted.
To cut this waist for woman Of
medium size three and q quarter
yards of material twenty-one inches
wide, two and seven-eighth yards
twenty-seven inches wide, one and
three-fourth yards forty-four inches
wide or one and five-eighth yards fly
inches wide with one and one-fourth
yards Of all-oyer lace for bolero and
sleeve facings will be required.

The New Storm Collars.

The new storm collars are more be-
coming than those high, outstanding
shapes which ruf1ed the hair and the
temper, too. Never were collars so
uncomfortable, but the newer shapes
are more like a mans rundown collar
when it is turned up in bad weather
and are, moreover, Of a reasonable
height.
