(Communicated.)
DIR. EVANSTON WRITES IN BE- HALF O. THE JUDGES cANDI- DAcY FOR MAYoR-HIS ABILITY SET FORTH.

In looking over the field of announced candidates for mayor we find repre- sentative lot of best citlze nship among them. There being no great principle in- volved, the race shifts down to a proper administration of affairs pertaining to in- ternal conditions, some of which are quite impof tant and need discriminating care and experience in satisfactory ad- justment, therefore, a loglcal mind, of good judgment is needed at the helm for continued material gain.
 After careful survey of the field have determined to support Judge M. H. Crit tenden for the following reasons He is thoroughly identified with the city and has studied conditions of the district closely, thei efore it stands to reason that he is fully cognizant of the needs which aggregate the prosperity and advance ment of indIvidual enterprise and corpo- rate interests.
 He is not personally interested in any competitive business, nor identified with any special interest, yet his investments are of sucn character as to render him well acquainted with the demands of our growing cosmopolitan district he being the largest tax payer yet in the race. He has the requisite experience and able qualifications essential to the adminis- tration or city affairs on such a high plane as would meet the approval of his most critical opponent. His abilities are of an order that would enable him to initiate and execute all functions of the office credltably to civic pride. Having the courage of his convictions he would be mayor in fact, without fear or fa vor. While sappreciative of support vet know he would not extend promise or preference, not compatible with the cityis best interests and his own high sense of honor and dignity as man and mayor
 We can trust him to administer the city government upon an economical basis with due allowance for developing expansion being broad-ncinded liberal and equitable. no interest need fear dis crimination at his hands. With proper regard for all rights, and keen khowl- edge of problems demanding adjustment we can trust solution of affairs to his guidance. Standing upon the broadest platform If liberal view. having the greatest interest in continued welfare. we can rely upon his wisdom and dis erection. In fact we need |. broad-minded, astute mayor during the coming years of critical growth when fostering care will add so much to continued prosperous development. We find the ideal of that character in Judge M. H. Critenden.

 The Japs Use Pe-ru-na. This might or might not account for their strenuous, ac- tive habits, We not prepared to say. The Japs notably healthy people. They are courageous supple and capable of great endurance. Their climate is not very productive of catarrh and catarrhal diseases, yet they are in some degree af- ficted with this worlds scourge The Japs Use Pe-ru-na. They have been quick to adopt all American customs. They have adopted our manner of government, our fashions as to dress our mode eff war fare, our public school system, and they have even adopted our custom of taking Peruna for catarrhal diseases.
 Jhe Japs Use Pe-ru-na. The Japs are the Yankees of the Orient They move quickly. They are positive. Peruna exactly fits in this sort of life. Busy people have no time to bother with catarrh Colds are irk- some and hold them back, They want to get rid of them quickly Nothing acts so promptly as Peruna Peruna prevents ca tarrh by nipping it in the bud.
 The Japs Use Pe-ru-na. Quick action this is characteristic of Peruna and char. acteristic of the Japs It is very natural. indeed, and inevitable that the Japs should use Peruna They are up to the times. They adopt all good things They do not have to be told twice.

broderie anglaise cut in loose three
quarter length bordered deeply with
chinchilla is stunning. A comfortable
and smart wrap is made of chinchilla
gray plush with broad, faint ribbings
of corduroy-like markings cut in the
above mentioned Inverness style. The
collar and turned back cuffs are of
gray cloth and are bordered with a
Greek key pattern in pink and gray silk
touched up with silver cord. The cloth
is cut away where the design permits,
and silver net is inserted. About the
neck a long scarf of chinchilla hangs
loose in stole fashion, and there is a
foam of soft gray net ruff1es imprime
with silver at the wrist.
One or two simpler modes must not be
forgotten. An effective cloak for a girl
is that of soft rose cashmere which
takes bloom upon its surface like a
grape and depends for success upon
its draping and the delightful lights
and shades where the large sleeves are
gathered. The almost classic folds are
caught up on one shoulder by a great
clasp of coral and silver. Short, loose
coats of white taffeta effectively braid
ed will be a popular theater wrap this
winter and are light and dainty when
worn with a pale colored skirt.

TIL simplest court livery in the world
is probably that worn in the palace of
the emperor of Korea, whose servants
are all dressed in garments and head
gear of red calico which are easy to
make and cost little. There is but little

peror has more than his share. His
person is considered sacred; to touch
him is sacrilege, and the punishment of
sacrilege is death. If the emperor
touches a subject that person becomes
sacred too.

The emperor's word is law, and he
owns everything, lands and people
without restriction. Any wish that he
may express is regarded as an absolute
command, yet he is no brutal despot
but is described as having a pleasant
face with a benevolent expression
Physically he is delicate, and his shy
ness borders on timidity.
His ancient Korean state robes of rich
yellow hue are embroidered with num-
berless cabalistic signs, and his waist is
encircled with a stiff ceremonial girdle
inlaid with jade. This looks rather like
an iron hoop round a shrunken barrel

figure is required to stand this innova-

worn. Women seem to cling to the

though fortunately the day has gone
by when a surfeit of good things is
considered essential to a thankful spir-
it, and the modern housewife has con-
sequently cut short her grandmother's
long bill of fare. The national bird is,
however, by no means eliminated from
the modern menu, and in most homes
on Thanksgiving day this piece de re-
sistance will be offered up as usual on
the altar of the family table, much to
the delight of the small members of the
household as well as of the grownups
at the feast.
In the cooking and serving of the tur-
key Americans certainly excel all other
peoples. Monsieur the Partisan chef
will serve the bird parbeiled and send
him to table in a limp, detected and
tasteless style. Should a suggestion of
the ACCESSIBILITY of roasting the COB
bier be suggested to this autocrat he
cheerfully accedes after his lights, but
the best part of the programme is left
out-that of the stuffing-and the his
toric bird is an anachronism even to
himself
In Russia they roast the turkey be-
fore a huge open fire indoors barbecue
fashion, and it is only luck that saves
him from being done to death When
served the Russian bird is smothered
in a fearful and wonderful hot sauce.
John Bull has been known to marvel
in his usual insular manner that the
turkey should be our national bird of
feasting, and small wonder, for in the
snug little island he is cooked until even
the tenderest breastbone would refuse
to bulge and all juiciness is lost.
The turkey cooked after the German
recipe is outwardly all a good Yankees
fond fancy could paint, but the inte-
rior decorations are appalling. The
furnishing is of bologna sausage and
Its ilk, placed there to flavor the meat.
A fondness for this delicate treatment
may be acquired after a long residence
in Germany; but, like chop suey and
Dther native good things. it takes time
to 'get there"
The Italian method robs the bird of
Its imposing presence; but, on the
whole, it is not unappetizing. The tur-
key is roasted in the ordinary way,
with the unfailing italian flavor added
by basting it with a garlic sauce. 1t is
served sliced with an onion gravy.
The old southern cooks have perhaps
best solved the problem of turkey cook
ing, and ''mammy's" instructions are
