Progress In Nail Making.

A common nail is an excellent illus

shape with hammers, an expert taking
one and half minutes for each nail.
Perfect nails are now made at an av-

are so varied in shape and sizes,
while each one seems more attrac-
tive than the last one examined,
that no one, no matter what her
age or coloring, can fail to find the
hat best suited to her particular
style.
The one selected to wear with the
blue mohair gown in the illustration
was of leather color of a most ex-
quisitely soft shade of tan, with a
rather large rolling brim and medi-
um high round crown daintily
draped in most creamy white silk,
which with its perfectly matched
white wing blended with the leather
color with true Hummel cachet.
The Suspender craze, like all
fashions that become universally
popular, is on the wane, and she
who invested in a great number and
variety of wide belts and buckles
will soon go to the other extreme,
narrow belts having taken their
place with most up-to-date women.
With the skirts cut to cling closely
over the hips and blouses of much
less pouching lines. the selection of
a perfectly built corset such as the
C-B la Spirite is most essential,
and while the woman who faces"

days when it is fashionable to ap
pear strong and athletic, the corset
laces are being drawn a shade
tighter at the waist line.

What to Wear for travelling and Advanced
Styles In Millinery.

NO gown in the wardrobe of the
fashionable woman today is of more
Importance than the travelling or
outing attire of mohair or light
weight cloth. for while the vogue of
linen and tub gowns are still in the
ascendant for home wear, for start
on journey, at the end of which
one wishes to present smart ap-
pearance, the tub gown is to be
stunned.
The stunning dark blue mohair
shown in my illustration with its
two plaits at each gore stitched
closely to the knee line, and hang
ing freely below, and with its half
dressy half severe little Elton jack
ct, is one of the most ideal models I
have seen for the knockabout frock.
1t was designed by a tailor who
caters to exclusive trade, and made
for one of Newport's snartest
young matrons. Priestly craven

of shrinking and shrivelling if

back of the cloth assures Milady
that she may reach the end Of her

smart would travel in any but a
tailored. +" For jaunting, whether
on land or sea, in town or country,

AN EXEMPTION

: Raising of Cotton One of the
Wealth Producing Industries.

Washington. = Representative Byrd
OF Mississippi offered resolution d.
recting the Ways and Means Commit
tee to report favorably his bill placing
agricultural implements and necessa-
ries incident to farming on the free
list. The resolution recites that the
raising of cotton is one of the princi-
pal wealth producing industries of
the nation, and that the artificial con-
ditions created by the government reg
ulations, through its protective tariff
policy, makes it impossible for cotton
producers to market their product at
prices commensurate with the cost of
production. 1t is also alleged that
these conditions are unjust and unne-
cessary to preserve the manufacturing
industry. Furthermore, that as re-
suit of the artificial conditions, OBJ
structing this great industry the cot
ton producers are in a state of unrest
and are facing conditions which makes
it impossible to realize those profits
which, under normal conditions, would
be theirs.

MEASURE OF HUMANITY.
Would Give Philippine Opium User
Three Years Notice.

Washington Secretary Taft ha.
forwarded to Representative Payne
for introduction in the House with {
view Of its disposition by the Ways
and Means Committee, the draft OF
the bill fixing tariff on goods entering
the philippines. An interesting fea-
ture is provision increasing the duty
on crude opium from So to 81 per kilo
and manufactured opium from $3.50
to So. The commission or any succeed
ing Philippine Legislature is empow-
cred to totally suppress the opium
traffic. Accompanying the bill is the
port of the opium commission, headed
by Bishop Brent, Of the East. This re-
port recommends the creation of a
government monopoly in opium traffic
for three years only to confirmed Chi
nese opium users in the Philippines as
a measure of humanity. After that
period the traffic is to be suppressed.

Levee Tax Question.

The question of whether the two le-
wee boards in Mississippi have the
right to assess a special privilege tax
for levee purposes is soon to be
brought before the Supreme Court for
decision. The privilege license as
sessed by the levee boards is based on
the State privilege tax act, requiring
a payment of $3.50 per annum by
life companies and 5000 per annum by
6re companies. The levee boards seek
to collect so per cent of this tax from
all insurance companies operating in
that section of the State, and several
companies have combined to make a
legal test of the matter before the Su-
preme Court, having received advice
from their attorneys that the tax is
unconstitutional.

Reddoch Again.

Another sensation has been afforded
by M. L. Reddoch who was arraigned
before Commissioner Moseley at Jack

a charge made by the postoffice in
spector. The publication which led to
the arrest of Reddoch appeared in the
Commercial Appeal some time ago in
which charges were made against Con-

Carolina. Reddoch in this publication
represented that he was employed by
the department of justice to investi-

Kitchen whom he charges with having
offered to secure the pardon of W. R.
McBrown, federal prisoner confined
in Nashville, Tenn. McBrown was to
pay the congressman $25O.00 for Sc
curing his release.
