The new fad (new this ,yinter) of making up the lace gown over an undersklrt of accordion pleated spangled net adds greatly to the cost, but at the same time adds marvelously to the beauty of the gown, for the simmer and sparkle of the spangles seen through the lace are charming

UnbIeached Cotton Bags.

Bags of new, cheap, unbleached cotton, made little longer than the article to be protected, are advised for large garments that are to be hung away. Have the bags stitched closely, turned and stitched again, and left long enough at the top to be turned and tied down.
 All woollen garments must be thoroughly brushed, aired and cleansed before packing away, for spots of y,sort are seized upon by Doths as specially delectable.

4 LONG HEADED FARMER.
Sold Land Ten Years Ago but Re-
served Oil Fights.

F'redonia. Kas.. Oct. s.-The most I'M
usual fight over gas and oil rights Kan
sas has ever had has just been decided
in the Wilson county district court.
The properties involved are valuable oil
lands in Pleasant Valley, Wilson coun-
ty, and include $50 or more acres. The
action was brought by a number of
farmers to quiet the title on the lands
in question. and the defendant was an
Illinois man by the name of Griffin, a
former owner of the land.
Griffin was once a prominent farmer
in Pleasant Valley, but about ten
years ago. during the Guffey and Galley
excitement. sold out. He was a long
headed sort of fellow, however, and re-
served all oil and gas rights, mention of
which was duly made in the deeds. He
moved back to Illinois. The property
changed hands a number of times.
Nothing was thought of his reservation
until the late oil excitement began, and
then when the present owners began
thinking of leasing their land they
found on investigation that a fellow
by the name of Griffin claimed the oil
and gas rights. They thought the
statute of limitation OF something else
might operate in their behalf, but un-
like gas lease. ownership of oil and
gas rights such as Griffin possessed lasts
for all time: at least that is what the
court has decided at Fredonia
The case may be appealed. Gates &
Shinn REPRESENTED Griffin, whose gas
and oil rights are now even more val
liable than the land he sold.

Sickness steals more savings than the
burglar. Slowly, coin by coin, the
money that has been so hardly earned
is paid out for drugs and doctors.
Sickness is the worst enemy of the work

working mans sickness is disease of the
stomach often involving the heart, lungs,
liver, or kidneys.
