Washington, Mar. 8: Sen.
Clapp has taken up with
Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Hays the ques-
ton of cattle inspection and
shipment for slaughter.
DIR. Salmon, chief of the
bureau of animal industry,
has made a ruling to the eff
feet that cattle that have
been exposed to the mango
cannot be shipped until af-
ter they have all been dip
ped by government in
spectOrs.
Under this ruling if one
head in a herd of one thou
sand or several thousand is
infected with mango the
entire herd must be inspect
ed and held up.
1t is claimed chat if this
regulation is carried out it
will paralyze the cattle in
dustry Of the West this
spring.
Lit takes a long time to in
spect and dip cattle, and
Western ranchman think
that the rule of the depart
ment is exacting and arbi-
trary. 1t is understood
that a committee of five
prominent cattlemen will
come to Washington and
take up the matter with
Secretary Wilson.

POINTS ON DRESS.
Some Pertinent Hints Regarding
What Features Mark the Moment
and About Remodeling.

Pipings will be much used. and a
touch of color may be thus given to
even a plain garment, which will add
much to its beconingness. Pipings
may be used to outline yokes, vests,
collars, cuffs. and for box plaits and
ruffies. Wooden button molds of vari-
Gus sizes will be covered with goods
OF the same material of the dress it
self, or like the piping, largely used
on coats and gowns. Small remnants
may thus be used up, and color and
freshness given the garment.
Tight-ftting waists may be worn,
and these must be carefully boned.
Whalebones are much used. but feath-
erbone is quite popular and much less
expensive.
Garments that gre to be made over
should be ripped apart, all threads
picked out, sponged, pressed and put
where 1t will be all together when
called for. II the material is to be
dyed. that should be attended to as
soon as possible. 1t Is good idea to
have all remnants. of whatever mate
rial, sorted out, smoothed, and ready
for use II needed. Uses may be found
for remnants Of nearly all kinds, in tho
styles of to-day.-The Commoner.
