PRETTY BOWS FOR THE NECK.
Give to Costume Just the Touch That
Is Required.

While dresses are being worn al
most entirely this season, the bust
ness woman still wears the tailored
waists that are so smart and that give
one a fresh, trim appearance. There
is nothing that adds so much to the
appearance of a waist as a charming
little bow tie or dainty jabot. There
is nothing that could prove a more
acceptable gift for business woman
than a dainty collar or jabot. These
little bows are easy to make and take
for their manufacture odds and ends
of insertion lace and lawn.
For the most part these bows are
finished around the edge with the
popular button hole stitch done in
mercerized cotton thread. They are
trimmed almost exclusively with eye
lets and blind dots, unless, of course,
they are trimmed in any way with
lace. The bows and jabots can be
made out of tiny scraps of linen,
lawn and nainsook. Not many peo-
pie know that nainsook can be used
for such things. but it embroiders

TRY THIS FOR COLDS

Mix half ounce of Concentrated pine
compound with two ounces of glyc-
crime and Lalf pint of good whiskey:
shake it well each time and use in
doses of a teaspoonful to tablespoon

These ingredients can be obtained
from any good druggist who will pre-
pare the mixture, or it can be mixed

This is said to be the quickest cough
and cold cure known to science, and at
the same time it has splendid tonic
effect which benefits the whole system.

She Was a Real Orator.

Senator Beveridge during a recent
visit to Portland talked about oratory.
"The campaign" he said, has given
us oratory more remarkable for guam
tity than quality. True oratory is that
which brings results, is that which
converts an audience of supporters.
Such oratory is rare.

fragette,' is great orator. Her
speeches from the platform are woh-

day gave me an illustration of the
efficiency of her private speeches.

INAUGURATION of Gov. Davidson.


The ceremonies marking the third in.
auguration of Gov. J. o. Davidson were
brief but interesting. The Inaugural
ton consisted principally of three
events, which were the oath-taking
ceremony in the supreme court cham
bers, the receptions in the different de-
partments in the capitol during the
afternoon and the formal inaugural re-
ception and ball at the university gym
nasium at night. The state officers
elect gathered in the governors cham
bers in the south wing of the capitol,
being escorted there by members of a
special committee. AS the inaugural
procession marched from the execu-
tive to the supreme court chambers
former Gov. George w. Peck was the
escort for Gov. Davidson. Lieut.. Gov.
John Strange, the only new member
of the administration, was escorted by
W. D. Connor whom he succeeds. The
state officers-elect were taken to the
chambers of the supreme court, on the
second floor of the north wing of the
capitol where Chief Justice WinslOW
administered the oath Of Office to each.
The oath was simple, being merely an
affirmation that the principal will sup
port the constitution of the United
States and the state and perform the
duties of his office to the best of his
ability. After the officers-elect took
the oath they retired

Gov. Davidson issued the following
letter to the public: In view of the
later detailed shocking reports from
the stricken districts of Italy, caused
by the disaster of week ago, | am
impressed with the belief that every
community in Wisconsin should act
promptly and unitedly in raising funds
TO assist in burying the dead, in al
leviating the suffering of the manned
and needy, and contributing to the re
building of their homes and shattered
fortunes. To this end l hope citizens
of every community will take speedy
action, and l suggest that Mr.. Fred
Vogel, Jr.. Milwaukee, act as treas
urer, TO whom all contributions should
be promptly RENTED"

Imperfection of Experience.

While we confess the perfection OF
our standing in Christ, let us be just
as willing to confess the imperfection
of our experience. That is exactly
what Paul did when he said: mot as
though / had already attained, either
were already perfect" philippians 3:
12), while in the fifteenth verse, which
follows, he continues, Let us, there
fore, as many as be perfect, be thus
minded" Here is perfection of
standing with an imperfection of ex-
perience. We have a perfect standing,
but the experience may not be per-
fected until we are among ''the spirits
of the just made perfect" Make your
boast in the Lord, but not in the
graces of the Holy Spirit. You can
stand before the world and say, II am
perfect before God in Christ Jesus"
But the moment you claim that
you are perfect in character your
claim proves that you are mistaken. In
Job 9:20 we read: eff | say am per-
feet it shall prove me perverse.
Though I were perfect, yet would l
not know my SOUL" In other words,
if | say / am perfect, my saying it
proves that l am not perfect, but rath-
er perverse. And If 1 were perfect I
would not know my own soul. Other
folks might know it, but | would not
be conscious of it. When Moses came
down from the presence of God he
knew not that his face shone. When
Paul was comparatively young he
wrote, 81 am the least of the apos-
ties" After he had grown awhile in
grace he added: Il am less than the
least of all the saints" AS a mature
Christian ready to be martyred he
confessed, 81 am the chief of sim
ners." During all those years Paul
had been growing into the experience
of perfection, while he became more
and more conscious of his sinful ma
ture. Be perfect, but don't say it. Let
your wife find it out, and you may be
sure that she will tell on you. She
cannot keep it to herself. The sun,
when it rises, does not ring bell or
boom a cannon. 1t simply shines.
Let your light so shine before men
that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father" Light needs
no label. It speaks for itself.

5000. coo Pounds Of Cheese.


Cheesemakers of Wisconsin, the
men who are helping to make the
state the greatest dairying center in
the world, met in Milwaukee and fully
800, interested directly or otherwise
in the manufacture of cheese and it's
various byproducts, were present. The
seventeenth annual convention gave
TO the world figures that are startling
and data that brings home to Wiscon-
sin residents the true magnitude of
the dairy industry of their state.
Dairying, an industry that is spread
ing in ever increasing area, from the
Wisconsin river to Lake Michigan, is
making of the Wisconsin farmer a
man Of wealth. This is Mr.. Baer's
philosophy. He believes in his occu-
patton, the people engaged in it, and
his state. Financial depression?
Panic? Go to the farms of Wiscon-
sim" said Mr. Baer. IF ever there
was prosperity it is there today; it
has been there through the year that
has passed. And while the farms Of
the state bespeak that word no dan
ger threatens any other business. The
cattle of Wisconsin, the great, ever
working, ever productive milk COW
Of Wisconsin precludes financial de-
preston here; precludes even it's
slightest semblance-save as pass
ing shadow that may fall from a
cloud originating in some other state
not so fortunate. The American pub
lie is eating cheese. It's healthy ap-
petite; it's one growing with the days.
Last year we manufactured over 65,-
100000 pounds of cheese"

stephenson's Election Delayed.

The fact that Senator Stephenson
purposes to delay filing his statement
of expenses incurred in his primary
campaign for the nomination for
United States senator may cause de-
lay in his election until the matter of
his expenditures has been investigated
by the legislature. 1t is the hope of
the radicals that they may secure the
necessary majorities in both houses to
prevent Stephenson's election until
such investigation has been made.
There is no way of estimating the
amount Senator Stephenson spent, al
though even his friends admit the
amount was very large. Some who
profess to speak by the card declare
the amount was close to 100000.
