Lower Heels for Women's Shoes.

In women's shoes the turn Oxfords
are extremely popular, and there con-
tinues demand for the Newport and
Gibson ties These slippers. of course.
are for semi-dress wear. Slippers for
evening dress have not been shown in
such exquisite qualities for years
Slippers with two and three inch heels

IN number Of novelties. For the sea
shore and country tan shoes are the
most popular. and doubtless will be
worn always as a summer shoe by the
best dressers. Heels will be lower the
coming fall, and women should be
thankful, although it is a noticeable
fact that woman wearing high heel
shoes will seldom admit that they are
uncomfortable.
There was never a time when more
attention was paid to the footwear OF
children, or when the styles were more
carefully thought out. Broad toes and
low heels are the sensible styles that
are having the greatest sales.-Shoe

What for time looked like very
serious accident occurred shortly be-
fore O'Clock Saturday evening near
Second and Brady streets in front Of
the St. Onge store. 1T the time Henry
PAUL.. the well known florist near
Oakdale cemetray. was driving east
on Second street. In the buggy with

bakery at Iowa and Locust streets.
When in the middle of the block
the horse became frightened and
made a dash for liberty. In front of
the South Putnam building was a pie
OF rock and gravel. guarded by red
lights. The horse ran into this oD-
struction with the result that the
buggy was upset and the occupants
thrown To the ground. Mr.. PAUL. re-
ceived a deep cash in the forehead,
but Mrs. Fritz suffered the more Sc
we're injuries. Her wrist was DISC
Gated and her knee injured. in addition

Cooked Whole Calf.

Residents in the southwest end of
the city would like to make the ac-
quaintance of a tramp who visited
that region few days ago and helped
himself in an off-hand way to calf
whole calf-and some chickens for a
good meal. For. stretching this prodi-
gal son business, the people of the
vicinity say the tramp beat everything
ever heard of. The relics of the calf
were found in a hollow on the farm of
Milkman Kroeger on Thirtieth avenue
and Tenth street, where the tramp had
slain the fatted calf and had eaten in
solitary bliss. The man had stripped
the hide down from the quarters and
had laid the carcass over the fire and
roasted it. He wasn't particular about
forks or thin stripes, but reached in
and dug off with his fingers the NOR
sells that he calculated would tickle
his palate. When he had Toasted to
his hearts content, he abandoned the
roast"

RIVER CONVENTION HELD
THIS WEEK At DUBUQUE
Big Meeting of Valley States Will Ask
Congress for s15.ooo,o0O
Appropriation.

The annual convention of the Upper
Mississippi River Improvement asso-
citation will be held in Dubuque, Wed
nesday and Thursday of this week
The meeting will be of the greatest
Importance. as congress will be asked
to make an appropriation of s15. 1000, 900
for the improvement of the river from
Cairo TO the twin cities. Among the
notables who will attend the convep-
ton are the governors of Illinois, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Missouri and
Iowa. More than 600 delegates rep
resenting cities along the river will
also attend. Senator Allison will pre-
side.
For years shippers along the river
have been complaining of the low
stage of water at different periods
during the summer and for this rea-
son the steamboat lines have refused
TO book freight for any point three
weeks in advance of the time of ship
ment. on account of the uncertainty
of the stage of water. The result has
been that railroads have been getting
business that the steamboat lines had
and the shippers have been paying
high freight rates.
Gov. Van SAINT of Minnesota was one
of the first to urge the improvement of
the river from st. Paul to Cairo to
realize the dream of shippers, cheap
er freight rates. He suggested that
engineers be employed to test the prac-
ticability of maintaining a six-foot
channel. which is the ideal stage of
water for steamboating on the Mis-
sissippi- His suggestion was adopted
and the engineers made a critical sur
vey of the river and reported that such
a stage of water could be maintained
the year around
They found that all that is neces-
sary TO restore the prestige of the Mis-
sissippi as the greatest commercial
waterway on the western continent is
to deepen the Chicago drainage canal
and the Illinois river in connection
with the improvement of the Missis-
sippi and the coast line would be vir-
tually doubled and a deep water bay

WHY DOES
A BABY CRY?

Because it is either hum
cry or in pain. Properly
nourished it will usually grow
up right and be comfortable
that's the principal thing
for a baby. If its food lacks
strength and nourishment
add SCOTS Emulsion at feed
ing time. A few drops will
show surprising results. If a
baby is plump it is reason
ably safe. SCOTS Emulsion
makes babies plump.
