DENIES THAT BRYAN

Congressman Burke Says Office OF
President Is infinitely More Powerful
Than Congress.
Congressman James Francis Burke
of rlljSbprg IN au address nn "Th"
Powers Of III" President" says:
THE American people can make no
greater mistake than to elect Mr. Bry-
an un the assumption that he can do
no harm In the face pf an adverse sen.
ate As between the executive aud

power To rule aud ruin than the latter.
Mr. Taft ana Mr.. Bryan arc wholly

scSsrs strong individual character,

following denominations One cent, two
cents, three cents, four cents, five cents,
six cents, eight cents, ten cents, fifteen
cents, fifty cents and one dollar. The 50

the object of obtaining the greatest SIM
plicity commensurate with artistic re-
suits The profile has been taken in each
instance instead of full view, giving a
has relief effect All the stamps are of
similar design, containing a head in an
ellipse, the only decoration being laurel
leaves on either side of the ellipse. The

being ~. S. Postage" and at the bot
tom the words 1.-TWO cents"
The one cent stamp contains the head

ing and printing regards the new stamps
as the most artistic ever issued by the
government. The new issue will be put

Make II Yourself.

There is so much Rheumatism here in
our neighborhood now that the follow
ing advice will be highly appreciated by
those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one-halt
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces
of Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake
these we'll in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime; also drink plenty of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few victims
of this dread and torturous disease who
will fail to find ready relief in this simple
home made mixture, and in most cases
permanent cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to strengthen
and cleanse the eliminative tissues OF the
Kidnevsso that they can filter and STRAIN
from the blood and system the poisons,
acids and waste matter, which cause not
only Rheumatism, but numerous other
diseases. Every man or woman mere
who feels that their kidneys are. not
healthy and active, or who suffers from
anv urinary trouble whatever should
not hesitate to make up this mixture, as
it is certain to do much good, and may
save you from much misery and suffer
ing after a while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix the
prescription ready to take II our readers
ask them.

The fashionable fur of the winter is
distinctly sealskin. Women who can
afford it will of course buy Alaska seal
and those who cannot will wear the
dyed muskrat which is often called Hud-
son seal. This skin has had all the long
hairs plucked out and then been dyed by
a new process. The effect is so good that
even a eonnoisseur cannot, few feet
away, tell neither a coat is made of
muskrat or the genuine SEAL and the fact
that c. c. Shayne & Co., have brought
out variety of long coats of this new
fur for carriage, street or evening wear,
determines its value beyond all question,
as no inferior or unreliable fur ever finds
a footing with this well-known house.
A carriage coat, SO inches long, is
cut collarless, as it is intended to be worn
with one of the new fur rufus. 1t is
single breasted and trimmed with heavy
black silk cords and tasses. Another
very distinctive garment of the same fur
is in the Drectoire style with such
sharp cutaway effect in front that it is
shaped almost like a mans dress coat.
1t has narrow vest of embroidered
lavender satin from each side of which
turn back huge revers of the fur. 1t
fastens with big silver buttons with
turquoise centers. These handsome
metal buttons, by the way, are the very
latest thing for fastening fur coats and
are used on all up-to-date garments that
are at all fancy. Caracul is another
fashionable coat fur but all the smartest
garments in this and other furs are made
long, A carriage wrap of this fur comes
down we'll below the knees and is elabo-
rately trimmed with black silk braid. 1t
has a pale green satin lining with a
bengaline stripe. Colored Innings in pale
tints are feature of the new fur coats.
Many of these coats are made in what is
called the hipless effect, with straight
line from ne under arm to the bottom of
the garment. At the same house was
shown a "hipless' coat of Persian broad
tail, much longer in the back than in the
front in fancy cutaway outline. Other
smart coats are of pony skin and dark
Eastern mink.
In small furs the general favorites are
black lynx, pointed fox, mink and sable.

Editor CALIFORNIAN:
Everything intended for evening wear
this winter continues classic and Drec-
toire. The closely fitted trailing skirts,
high waistline, small sleeves, draperies
and sashes are a marked feature of the
very newest ball and dinnergowns. The
most gorgeous of embroideries in color
ed silk on a lace or chffonground, beads,
spangles, gold and silver passementeries
are all used for trimming as well as
laces and nets galore. A sort of Harle-
quin effect has lately been brought in
vogue by some OF the great French
cotouriers, that is making one side of the
costume of an entirely different material
from the other. A Paqain gown had
one side of supple satin in the palest Of
blue shades and the other of cream net
embroidered with tiny blue silk polka
dots.
Black and white combinations are
considered very chic for evening wear
this year. A Paris frock has long limp
skirt of black satin embroidered with
silver spangles. The waist is also OF the
satin embroidered in silver 1t is made
with the modish high waist line, formed
by broad draped girdle of plain black
satin. Around the low neck are folds
of plain white tule and there are long
transparent sleeves of the tulle, shirred in
Mousquetaire effect. Another especially
handsome evening gown is OF white bro
cade, cut with the usual modified sheath
skirt effect, but there is scarf of fine
white net handsomely embroidered in
gold which is caught up on the left
shoulder and draped loosely from there
to the left hip where it is drawn through
a long gold buckle and hangs nearly to

Early History.

A Lunenburg friend of the CALIFORNIAN
has placed in our hands an interesting
old book on Vermont entitled 1.-THE
Child's Assistant to a knowledge of the
Geography and History of Vermont"
The book was compiled by S X. Hall
and printed at Montpelier by E. p.
Walton in 1927 1t is written in
simple style and abounds in interesting
descriptions of the early days. The fol
lowing story is sample of many in the
book and was told the writer by lady
in the town where he lived.
" We removed to Luuenburg when the
town was very new. We had a large
family of children and were very poor.
Provisions could not be obtained and
no one knows what endured to see my
children often puking around me from
mere faintness and then | was obliged to
put them to bed without one mouthful
of food. There was no road to St Johns
bury but by marked trees, and | have
sat up more nights to boil salts than
am years old My husband carried them
on his back to St. Johnsbury tat least
Is, but probably 20 miles, to get some
thing to eat. l was obliged to make
baskets and turn every way to keep my
children from starving to death"
The same party has two copies OF the
Danvlle North Star, one bearing date
of Aug. 20, 1914, and the other Aug. IA,
1918. The former paper is full OF the
latest news of the war with Great
Britain and the latter issue devotes
nearly a page to the independence of
Chill. The North Star in those days
consisted of two pages, was published
by Ebenezer Eaton, and contained no
local news whatsoever

There never was a season when so many
fancy effects in furs prevailed. All the
most fashionable muffs are rug shape,
and there are dozens of different designs
shown, some square. some irregular and
some pleated. Neck pieces are either very
short in ruff shape or long in the pelerine
style.
Evening coats are most luxurious.
The handsomest are made of satin in
white and pale tints of pink, blue.
champagne, etc. Most effective also are
the long cloaks of bengaline silk, many
of which are fur lined. A most charming
opera cloak is made of pale blue satin in
long loose shape with flowing sleeves.
1t is trimmed down the front and
around the sleeves and neck with fancy
blue silk braid and has long cords finish
ed with heavy silk tassels that fasten
the garment in the front. The back has
an elaborate design in the braid and a
drapery OF cords finished by a big silk
tassel. The lining is in the very faintest
shade of pink satin.
