Care in Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re.
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats:
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest OF
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob,
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are SO annoying when
other brands are eaten. If you are
convenient to the store buy the reg
ular size packages; if not near the
store, buy the large size family pack

CHOOSING A CARNIVAL QUEEN
Contest Among the Young and Pretty Working Girls of
Paris.

People who know their Paris mere
ly from the boulevards, merely from
the Latin quarter, or from Montmar-
tire, do not know the real Paris. This
may be a true saying, but it is largely
unsupported, none the less. Part of
that real Paris, that modest, hard
working, intensely respectable and
self-respecting Paris, was gathered in
the town hall of the fourth Arrondis-
sement The occasion was to elect
the queen of carnival.
1t was an inspiring spectacle. Upon
a platform sat the queens, among
whom was to be chosen the queen of
the queens. Each candidate was a
queen in the sense that she had been
elected to represent her own market
and was therefore eligible for the SUI
preme post of honor on the top of the
great gilded car whence looks down,

He moved cautiously toward the

curtain and stepped into the room, to
start back with a Stifled cry of horror

professional impassiveness by the
sight that met his eyes.
Scarcely more than quarter of an
hour ago he had seen Squire Strang-

But here, in this room, with it's locked
door, was the figure of Squire Strang-

CHIcAGO'S POLICE CHIEF

LIE Roy t. Steward is the newly appointed gen.
eral superintendent Of police in Chicago. In the
public understanding he is chief of police, but in
fact he will be business manager. Chicago aban-
doned the idea of having military police or a
body of old style sleuths when she picked Chief
Steward to head the department, and started the
first business regime in a police force. Chief
Steward does not even wear the uniform of his
office. The city provided outfit of gold braid
and gold buttons, gold epaulettes and gold belt,
but he would not even look at it. When he was
sworn into Office some days ago he wore bust
ness suit, and when the badge of office was
pinned to his vest as he took the oath of office
he unpinned it and put it in his pocket.

the new styles owe their birth to
Russia, Italy during the sixteenth
century, and England in the thirteenth

The whole note will be barbaric

Russian influence will predominate
This will chiefly be exemplified In
gorgeous jeweled embroideries COM
bined with furs.
Sixteenth century italian styles will
also be a delight to the eye. The
lines of this period are particularly
pleasing, and heavy regal embroider-
les in gold, copper and platinum will
be employed on these dresses.
Every dress, to be up to date, must
be parti-colored. Two at least, and
sometimes as many as six, colors will
be blended together.
The thirteenth century Tabard
gowns will also be popular, with cur
ious barbaric embroideries Of wool.
