The French minister of justice has
sent orders to the district attorneys
throughout France to prosecute vigor-
ously the cases of cruelty to domestic
animals. He adds that the prevalence
of this evil is distressing and that
it is largely caused by the indiffer-

would heartily co-operated with the
anti-cruelty societies here our own
streets might be saved some revolving

CROPS AND COST OF LIVING.
WIS

Predictions of cheaper living, based
upon ample crops, must be taken with
come caution. We are not confronted
by the problem of two-dollar wheat,
which Mr.. Patten probably did not ex-
p5ct when he was predicting it last
spring. His prediction served his
purpose admirably. Instead of ship
ping wheat into Chicago and breaking
the May market-the sort of thing that
has broken nearly every predecessor
of Mr.. Patterns bull" operations-the
farmers held on to their wheat and
waited for that two-dollar quotation,
says the Philadelphia Record The
harvest began less than a month after
the May option closed, and we now
have every assurance that the wheat
crop will exceed 70O000,000 bushels,
and may reach 735,000,000 bushels.
Wheat is selling in Chicago for less
than dollar. Food ought to be, and
probably will be, cheaper than it has
been lately. But cotton and wool are
high and textile prices show no dis
position to recede. Most of the prices
are rising. Structural steel is not a
commodity that the average citizen
purchases, but he is affected by it's
price; and all steel prices are up.
Hides are on the free list, but the
shoe stores and factories are stocked
up with goods purchased before the
repeal of the hide duty, and prices are
not yet coming down. The most i'm
portant item of expense is rent, and
with the growth of population that
tends upward, but the extensive build
ing operations all over the country
may keep abreast of the demand.

improve their designs for children
annually, and have never sent out
more charming garments than are
to be seen in the fall stocks. Per-
haps II is the lack of embroidery,
lace and all superfluous trimming
which makes fall styles so distinct

chambray's and madras frocks in

SHOPPING FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

Patent leather hats for girls are
good for fair or rainy weather
White guimpes grow plain as they
grow fine, the incest being OF
tucked linen and feather stitching
Raincoats are. among the neces-
stiles and the economies for the
school girl. Rubberized materials
of light weight are expensive. and
are not very durable for energetic
children. The eravenetted wor-
steds, which are made up for both
girls and boys. come in many
grades.
Small white muslin undergar-
ments of every description are
marked at small prices and can be
had with the little ruffles and
tucks now considered in decidedly
better taste for school children
than embroidery trimmed gar
ments. When an additional dainty
touch is wanted, mothers add Q
narrow val or stout torchon edge.
For small boys, blouses Of good
quality can be bought ready made
at low prices. Also. well made
little shirts, either garment.
Stout little tan oxfords with
hose to match are liked for both
boys and girls, and are still to be
had at late summer prices. Vary.
ing In price according tc size are
new shoes of buckskin, which are
very pliable and durable.
