LEAN BABIES ARE BEST.
(Philadelphia. Inquirer.l J

Learned physicians have been making
study OF babies, particularly at the
prize shows, which are much more Gus
tomary in Europe than iii this country.
Their verdict is against the fat baby
and in favor of the lean or moderately
developed. The fat baby is declared to
be less vigorous and more likely to suffer
FROM disease than the lean one. The point
is made, which seems reasonable, that a
child should develop bone and muscle and
should not take on any more fat than is
essential to provide it. with warmth.

only suitable for carriage wear, and are
truly the exclusive property of la grande

the garments de luxe are composed of

Among cheaper furs there are very
smart, inexpensive boleros of beaver,

with such amazing rapidity that it must

good moleskin this year. Thus, with
skins dsarer and the furrier's work more
elaborate than ever. 1t is useless to ex-
pect to be able to buy the better class fur
garment at a low price.
Musquash Is used for some of the bo-
gsros with great effect. 1t is furry kind
of skin which think is remarkably be-
coming, and 1t is so we'll dyed that one
can hardly realize that 1t belongs to the
inferior order Of skins.
Possessors- OF sealskin will be glad to
know that once more 1t takes foremost

ture is sealskin and ermine.
However costly and sumptuous the bet
ter class fur garment OF to-day may be,
manufacturers are able to produce the
most effective little short basque boleros
and loose sac coats at comparatively
small price.
When purchasing the cheaper skins l
advise you not to attempt too much. For
Instance, avoid imitation ermine or seal
skin. II you cannot afford the real where
these skins are concerned, 1t is better to
leave them aIone.

tirming the story of the awful illness and
subsequent cure of the little son of Mr..

DR. Lines is particularly emphatic in
his statement, and there does not now
seem to be any room for doubt as to the
fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills, and moth
ing else, saved the little boy.
He was so bad that he had Epileptic
spells which seized him with increasing
frequency. He was semi-paralyzed in the
right side, and his mind was badly af.
fected.
In their sworn statement, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcbride say:
"The very day we began to use Dodd's
| Kidney Pills our boy had twenty-seven Of
these Epileptic spells or fits. In less than
week he ceased having them entirely"
The case has caused a great sensation
in the neighborhood. The sworn state.
ments have confirmed the whole story.

TEXAS BOIL WEEVIL
Eats $50, 900, 900 Worth of Good
Cotton Every Year.

Offers S5O,OOO Reward for n

Housewives of America, you have q
new insect enemy, and his name is MIR.
Boil Weevil.
Now, don't run for the corrosive sub
Innate bottle, or the cute little bloW-
gun full of insect powder, or the moth
balls, or the sticky fly paper. He's not
in your house, and you can't get at
him.
Mr.. Boil Weevil is busy eating cotton
in the wide cotton fields of Texas. He
eats cotton at the rate of $4,000, ,0O0worth
year If the time shortly comes when
you have TO pay seven cents, instead OF
five cents, for a spool of machine cot
ton, and from three TO five cents yard
more for all the dainty dimities and
lawns and organdies with which you de-
light to attire yourself and your sunny
haired little daughters, you will have
only Mr. Boil Weevil to thank for it.
Who is he, and where did he come
from, and what has he done?" These
are more interesting questions than
you know. Here are some of the things
he already has done, according to the
Chicago American:
He has made w. P. Brown, chief fac
tor in the cotton market, half a mil
lion dollars richer by the rise in cot
ton in single day.
He has become so menacing that the
state government of Texas has offered
a reward of $4,000 for any means that
may be devised to vanquish him.
He has caused a serious shortage in
this years cotton crop.
He has bafied the entomologists o.
the federal government in their efforts
to check his ravages.
He has brought together convention

of 500 busy men at Dallas, Tex. to plot
his assassination.
And he is only tiny bug.
The boil weevil is a beetle with
huge proboscis, and came originally
from Mexico. The extension of cot
ton growing in the southern counties
of Texas made bridge for him to cross
the Rio Grande, and he was first no
ticed in Bee county, Tex, in 1894. The
agricultural department experts pro-
posed to the Texas legislature to stop
growing cotton along the river for two
years, and starve the assassin out. who
is going to pay the planters for this
sacrifice?" asked the legislators.
Since then the beetle has travelled at
the rate of rs miles to the northward,
and 25 miles to the eastward every
year. On Texas soil the weevil has
thrived like the rabbit in Australia, for
the females lay 800 to 700 eggs a year.
They develop with the cotton boil it.

opinion is that the soil and the climate
of the state will prevent any further
spread there. Arkansas and Georgia
confidently hope the same.
Insecticide does no good. Going over
the field with revolving brushes that
sweep off the affected plants is too cost

the weevil had been found was soon

Last year large number of represent

There is no doubt that fashion has
changed tremendously, but although
these changes strike us forcibly now,
they have been creeping in for some time
past, surely If slowly.
For instance, most of us will remember
how, this time last year, the Partisan
couturieres tried to force the new Bur-
gundy shade, popularity known as wine
color, on the market. But it never got
much further than few leading ateliers
in Paris. Green and royal blue became
popular in It's stead.
The pelerine has been gradually COM
ing in for the last two years. and go has
the full skirt. Nowadays, the modistic
eye disl!kes any sudden change, and in
novations have to creep in by degrees.
Fashion at the present moment is ex-
tremely pretty, but there are two exag-
gerations which ought to be avoided-one
is the sloping shoulder where it does not
suit, and the other is the very voluminous
sleeve.
Personally, think the extra fulness in
the skirt is becoming, and in many of the
best models the hips are kept fairly plain.
The fancy for ruchings, and particu-
1arly those of ravelled silk, is return
to the early Victorian period. They are
rather attractive and peculiarly quaint.
All sorts of colored ruchirgs are used
as trimmings, and velvet, of course,
reigns supreme for best winter frocks.
One Of the prettiest models l have
seen was in wine colored chiffon velours.
1t was made with dropping collar of dull
gold, red and white embroidery edged
with a heavy silken fringe. The velvet
was cut plain to the knees, then came
about seven rows of graduated ruchings
Of ravelled silk in a brighter shade. This
really was very sumptuous frock, and
swas to be worn in company with large
shaped stole and granny" muff of ermine
and a delicious 1880 velvet bonnet trim
med with shaded feathers to match.

led to their divorce. Monday night
he wanted to jump from the bridge,
but companions held him back for a
time. Moody is said to have fought
them until they allowed him to have
his way. Morgan says he dragged
Moody from the railing several times,

with knife. 1t is alleged that Nor

Advanced the Price of oil.

Toledo, Oct. 2T-The Standard Oil
Co. advanced the wholesale price on
all grades of refined oil one cent per
gallon Monday. This makes boost
of ~ cents per gallon in the whole
sale prices inside of a week, as IA
cent advance was announced last Fri
day. The advances have been eX-
pected by the trade, as the Standard
has increased the price of crude oil
repeatedly during the past two
months and it is contrary to policy
to advance crude oil and not the re-
fined product. There is Il big differ
ence, however, in an advance of 3
cents per barrel for crude and ~
cents per gallon on refined. The re-
tail price will be pushed up two cents
per gnllon bY oil retnilers.

Chardon, Oct. 24.-The coroner's re-

woman came to her death at the
hands of unknown persons. The in
vestigation was concluded Friday af-
ter Detectives Shibley and Turner, of
the Cleveland police force, had re-

The woman was supposed to have fall
len down stairs at her home, sus-
tanning injuries from which she died
n few hours after the accident. Her
husband reported finding the dead
body upon his return to the house
from work on the farm. An eXamina'
ton of the body showed six fractures
of the skull and several bruises on the
body.
