The man who reads the adver- tisements in his home paper is always posted as to prices. and knows where to find the goods he wants when he goes to town without having to hunt all over town for them. Even though he doesn't buy the goods of the man who advertises them, he knows what they are worth and will not pay more elsewhere. He will also save many dollars during a year by purchasing goods at reduction sales, job lots and in many other ways. It pays to read the advertisements.

Before you censure another for not agreeing with you, just think moment and see if you agree with yourself. Have you the same views on all questions that you had five, ten or fifteen years ago? If you have, then you have made no progress in all these long-and to you uninteresting years. On the other hand, if you think differ ently from the way you did in those distant days you do not agree with yourself; and surely you would not censure yourself for changing your mind.

Army and Navy News

Marines, The soldiers of the sea,
It's full two thousand years,
Since Carthaginian galleys blazed
With your bright battle spears,
When Xerxes gazed o 'er Salamis
Your iron shields were known
And your catapults struck terror
When battle flags were flown.
Marines, Since from the Rangers gaff
That emblem first unfurled
And issue made with her who claimed
The mastery of the world,
We never ceased to battle brave,
In trench or mid salt spray
And "Always Faithful" to your trust
Were foremost in the fray.
Marines! Fort Fishers bloody slopes
Can of your valor tell,
For then (as e'er) 'gainst fearful odds,
You rushed the gates of hell.
From Vera Cruz to Mexico,
In Buena Vista S fray,
Like Spartans at Thermopylae
Round Caimeneira S Bay.
Marinesi You ne'er again will form
On poop or quarterback,
For Jack has grown quite sensitive,
(He even hides his neck
Where plug tobacco once held sway,
IT'S chewing gum obtains,
His pathos runs to HOneyboy'
And Floradora strains.

WHITE-PA|NTED VESSELS
BANE Of JACKS LIFE

Clotworthy, who accompanied the At

Mia as representative of the United
Press, while in town yesterday. ''The

added. "Where dirt showed on the
white surface the bluejacket was put
to work to scrub it clean, and then that

show up a little dingy and they had
to be cleaned also. The new color

requirement to scrub paint. Under the

slate-color, continual scrubbing will be
largely eliminated.

WASTE PAPER HEAVY Loss

Hearing Of processes for the reclams-
tion Of waste timber brings TO mind the
tremendous quantity Of paper thrown
aside daily as useless. An Office OF ordi-
nary size produces at least ton Of waste
in paper month, which is disposed of at
q price ranging from fys to ten dollars.
The purchasers of this Office by-producs
feed it to machines that bundle the epaper
by sort of hay-press process, aud the
magic of machinery retnrns the soiled
scraps in pristine whiteness. Waste paper
has become so much matter OF course
that new Offices are built with a paper
shed, contriyance for caring directly for
this waste. In some businesses this pro-
duct amounts to hundreds Of tons in q
year, and where the amount 10 large, as
in q city printing Office, it is gathered
every day.
In addition to the paper Of commercial
and manufacturing concerns there is the
constant waste going on in every home,
which would aggregate thousands Of doll
lars every year if accounted for in the
economies oi the country. Possibly when
the Conservation Commission has dis
posed Of its big problems, it will find
means to eliminate this source Of waste.

mAKINe GOLD LEAF

In one Of New York Gity's downtown
business streets may be seen sticking
from one Of the upper windows massive
arm and hand, the hand gtaspiDg IluKe
hammer and the whole sign gilded. It
is the sign Of the gold beaters' establish.
ment, where thousands Of the gold sheets
are turned out alter having been packed
BY girls.
Gold leaf is packed more by the aid Of
the breath than by the handa. The
operation Of transferring sheet Of almost
transparent gold leaf from one place TO
another is so delicate that it ia possible
to do it ouly by light puff of the breath.
Il takes most girls six weeks to acquire
this knack, aud some girls are never able
to acquire it.
The gold reaches the beaters first in
wide bars or nuggets and has to be
weighed, melted and made into inch wide
ribbons before anything else is done.
The ribbon is then cut into inch squares
and beaten with hammer welded by
man. When each leaf has been beaten
thin it is transferred to a mold, where it
is beaten four hours more. The beating
is done with q wooden hammer weighing
from seven to eighteen pounds, on
sheepskin cushion, which rests on
granite block. The gold used for beating
is usually % or 23 carats fine. A little
alloy Of copper or silver is added to make
it spread. IL would be impossible, the
beaters say, to handle perfectly pure gold.
After the gold has been beaten il is
handed over to the girls, who lift the
unsbaped leaf from the mold with pair
Of wooden pinchers, fatten it out on
sheepskin cushion by gently blowing on
it, cut it to q perfect square, replace it
between the leaves of the book and flstten
it out with the breath.
There are twenty-five leaves in book,
and skilled girl can pack seventy books
in day, for which she gets from q to 3
cents book.

CLOUDS OF PIGEONS

What is said by the owners to be the
largest pigeon farm in the world is at
Los Angeles, Cal. There are cotes for
more than 100000 of the birds and every
nest is occupied, with numbers of the
birds roosting on outbuiIdings and in
temporary nesting places.
The birds eat two tons OF wheat each
day, says the Technical World, with large
quantities of green stuff and other foods
of which q regular account is not kept,
as it is obtained from surrounding farms
in exchange for fertilizer from the pigeon
Ianch. When the birds are disturbed at
their eating they rise from the ground in
hugh white clouds, spotted here and there
with patches of blue and ruious coated
pig5Uus. OF OF iate years th1e eeieFea kbiisEdds BIT
have been gradually weeded out, until
now the population Of the place is prac-
tically all made up of snow white birds.
In the nesting season, when the Cotes
are full of young and eggs, the pigeons
stay close around the farm, but at other
times Of the yeal they gather in great
white clouds over Griffith Park, the larg
est city park in the world. At feeding
time they fly about the three men con.
stantly employed to care for them, settling
on their shoulders, heads and arms, even
trying to get into the feed sacks, from
which the wheat is thrown in great
scoopfuIs.
The product Of the farm, squads, young
birds and adults, goes entirely to the large
hotels of Los Angeles aud surrounding
resorts.

Il {
The Fall fashions are distinctly novel
and many new, and what is better, be-
eesai..s essles have been hronght out
two and three-piece suits, in separate
coats and even in separate skirts. In
dressy costumes of all sorts many new
drapery effects have been evolved by the
great French fashion designers. In Its
plainest form the oyerskirt drapery con-
sists of close straight piece Of the fabric
reaching to variOusly pleated or shirred
half.skiIt. In the more extreme effects
such as the full draperies at the sides and
back, the new washerwoman overskirts,
the material is draped and gathered very
much on the order OF the overskirts of
twenty-five years ago.
Variety in the New Modes
This Fall no woman need despair. The
new styles contain such great variety of
models that it is possible to clothe almost
any figure becomingly. For slender
woman the new cuirass frocks are ex-
tremely chic if well made, but it must be
remembered that the variation OF an inch
or two in length of yoke or cuirasa will
make all the difference between a frock
that is becoming and one that is the re-
verse.
The costume cons sting Of waist and
skirt is again in fashion. This never
exactly went out of style among sensible
people but in the host of princess effects
and one.piece frocks, il has seemed al.
most passe for the past year.
Rough Materials
Wide vale cneviots. heavy ribbed
serges, homespuus and other manhish
materials are among the fabrics used to
make the new tailor gowns, Zibelines,
camel's hair aud rough goods are also ex-
srenely smart. BroadclUtas aud veIvets
are used for the very j,essisss type of
visiting gowns and are layishly braided
aud trimmed. The salient features Of all
the new tailor made frocks for Fall are
the elongated waist line and the snug hip

WHAT is HOxr WITHOUT a MOTHER
BY 5. WINNER

BY s. WINNER
What is home without mother
What are all the joys We meet,
When her loving smile no longer
Greets the coming OF our feet2
The days seem long, the nights are
dreary,
And time rolls slowly on;
And, O, how few are childhood's pleas
ures,
When her gentle care is gonel
Things We prize are first to vanish;
Hearts We love, to pass away;
And how soon, cen in our childhood,
We behold her turning gray
Her eye grow dim, her step is slower,
Her joys of earth are passed;
And sometimes, ere we learn TO know
her,
She has breathed on earth her last.
Older hearts may have their sorroEs;
Griefs that quickly die away;
But a mother, lost in childhood,
Grieves the heart from day to day.
We miss her kind, her willing hand,
Her fond and earliest care;
And, O, how dark is life around Us
What is home without her there2
