HIRED HEADGEAR FOR WE'D
DINGS.

In a little shop near Clements Inn
there lives a veteran hat maker OF
SO summers who hopes that the day
OF the top hat will come again this
year
Piled against the panes OF the win
dow fronting Houghton street are
rows of silk hats Of varying shapes
and degrees of glossiness. In front
two handbills, bearing the imprint
of an old time printer OF Bouverie
street, announce that Christopher
Clarke has for sale a variety of silk
hats, ranging in price from IS. Cd
to los. Cd each. On a circular board
hung over the door II is stated that
silk hats may be hired for we'd
dings and funerals"
TRADE is nothing like what II was
he confided recently TO a member of
our staff, "and orders for silk hats
are not nearly so plentiful as they
were when l started in the business
in 1884. A good hat doesn't wear out
every day, and 1t can be remade
quite equal to new"
The lending of hats, he added, is
not a very important or lucrative
branch OF the business, and It was
only adopted three or four years ago
TO assist in retaining some of the
trade that was slipping away. One
shilling per day Is charged for the
loan OF a smart, up TO date hat for
use at a wedding or other social
function.-Londoh Daily News.

Turkish Fezes.

Consul General Ernest l.. Harris.
writing from Smyrna, says:
The trade IN fezes naturally oc-
cupies an important place In every
part OF tho Turkish Empire, but the
greatest distributing and consuming
centre Is Constantlnople Vienna
syndicate controls the output and
prices. The average retail price OF
fez Is 80 cents.
In order TO estimate the total fez
trade In Turkey one may reckon
about one and a half every year 10
every male Ottoman subject. II is
true that in the towns most OF the
men belonging to the better classes
buy as many as three or four fezes
each year, but this Is Offset, on the
other hand by many in the country
districts who do not buy more than
this number during whole lifetime.
Ninety per cent OF the total fezes
worn in Smyrna are manufactured in
Vienna and imported from that city
Inc remaining 10 per cent is import
ed from other towns in Austria and
from Germany, the latter country sep
plying, as ! have been informed, a
rather cheap quality.
There is a movement now on foot
to establish fez factories in Turkey,
in order to render the trade less de-
pendent upon Austria. Several fac
tories have already been established.
and from all reports are doing well.
The fezes placed on the market by
these home factories are Of an in
ferior quality to the Austrian make,
but they are cheaper and also avoid
the necessity OF paying an entrance
duty OF II per cent. The moulds for
pressing fezes into shape are import
ed from Germany.
In the large sea coast towns of the
Turkish Empire all foreigners, and
even many Ottoman subjects of non
Moslem religion, do not wear fezes,
hut in the interior of Asia Minor
nearly everybody, without distinction
OF nationality, wears them.-Consu-
lar Report.

GOV. HOCH'S CALL.
TuberculaF Congress Will Meet in
Topeka, December 3.

The official call for the meeting of
| state tuberculosis congress on
| December 3 at Topeka was issued
MO Monday by Governor e; W. Hoch,
sentative hall, and will begin at A
p. m
For December 2, Dr.. S. }. Crum-
| bfne of the state board or health will
call a conference of the county health
| officers of the state with the state
board of health. This is an annual
affair, and it is on account of the
tuberculosis meeting the day follow
| ing.
The following is Governor Hoch's
| proclamation:
ITO the People of Kansas
mo greater scourge aff1icts the hu-
| man race than the dread disease
known as the white plague. One
| hundred and thirty-eight thousand
people succumbed to this disease in
| the United States in 1906. Because
of it's altitude, it's healthful climate,
| the absence of large cities with their
| attendant conditions predisposing to
this malady, and the intelligence with
which our people have grappled with
1t, the mortality from this disease in
Kansas is relatively less than in most
states Yet the disease is sufficiently
prevalent in Kansas to render its sta
tistics most alarming and to incite
every lover of his kind to the exercise
of every possible precaution to pre-
vent its spread, and the application
OF every known remedy to relieve it's
distress. In no field of medical re-
search has there been more gratifying
progress in recent years than in this
one. Beginning September 81 and
ending October IL of this year a great
international congress on tuberculosis
was held in Washington, D. c., at
tended by over four thousand dele
gates. representing thirty-three differ
ent countries and all the principal
civilized governments of the world.
Kansas was ably represented in this
great congress, and this state should
not lag behind in the movement to
stamp out this dread disease. Penn
sylvania has already shown it's
appreciation of this work by appro-
priating $1,500,000 for the study care
and prevention of tuberculosis in that
state.
Believing this matter to be of suf-
ficient importance to justify the ac-
tive cooperation of the governor in
an effort to place Kansas at the very
front of the movement, I hereby in
wife every one interested in this sub
ject to meet in representative hall in
Topeka, Thursday, December at
o'clock p. M, to organize an associa-
ton to cooperate with the national
association in a scientific and heroic
attempt to stamp out this disease. 1t
is now known that tuberculosis is an
infectious disease and, therefore, all
ways preventable one. The old
theory that it is hereditary has been
practically abandoned. The possibil-
ity of its cure in many cases. former
ly thought fncurable, is now also rec
ognized. The task therefore, is a
hopeful one and certainly worthy of
the best effort of the best minds and
the best hearts in Kansas I hope
the attendance upon the convention
will be large and that all will come
prepared to enter heartily and intel
ligently into its deliberations.
&c. W. HOCH, Governor"
