ATTENTION PAID TO HOSIERY
This Part of Costume of the Woman
of To-Day Must Be Dainty and
Appropriate.

There was time when women were
satisfied to save the finest pair of
black stockings, and to stow away for
best use the daintiest of shoes, but
nowadays the question of hosiery agi-
tates women as much as coat suits
and evening hats.
The woman who has plenty of
money buys silk stockings to match
her gown and even INDUCES in de-
signs embroidered at the instep, and
her cousin with smaller income in
vests in Isle thread and embroiders
a design over the instep. She cannot
originate or transfer a design cor
rectly; therefore she has a pattern
stamped on the stockings by a coupe
tent person.
For the bride who is to be married
in white there could be no more &C.
ceptable gift than white silk stock.
ings. These may be plain, embroid-
cred or enriched by insets of good

When planning the winters outfit
the afternoon home gown comes in
for large share of attention. 1t is
one of the most important of all cos
tunes, for 1t is worn at more or less
formal home affairs, such as recep-
lions, teas, musicales and the numer-
GUS occasions of the season.
The gowns sketched are suitable
for this purpose and bear all the hall
marks of the latest Partisan modes.
The first gown is of a deep, smoky
heliotrope velvet having a blush
tinge. The velyets of the season are
wonderfully soft and lustrous, not at
all the hard, stiff material it used to
be- It is one of the most graceful
fabrics for the drapings that are so
much in vogue.
The skirt and bodice draperies of
this gown are held by large cut jet
cabochon ornaments. The under
sleeves and chemisette are of old

DAINTINEss IN BABY CAPS
Pretty Head Coverings Made Of Lat
tice Work of Ribbon Over Col
ored Lining.

The mother who thinks her small
child looks better in a lacey-looking
cap, yet wishes to keep it warm,
should make one of the little caps
that are sort of lattice work Of rib
bon over colored lining.
Narrow double-faced ribbon an inch
wide should be chosen, as it must fold
back on itself at the edges of the
rows Make up a pattern in paper,
that just fits baby and sew the ribbon
on it>in diagonal parallel lines, run
ming in two directions to form open
squares. Where the ribbon is turned
form a border OF points around face
and bottom of cap.
Fill in the squares with spiderwebs
such as are used In drawn work open
ings. These should be worked in
heavy twisted embroidery silk the
color Of ribbon.
The paper is torn away and the
ribbon cap is worn over a colored
silk lining that hides a thickness Of
warm flannel underneath. Rosettes Of
ribbon head the ties of lawn or wider
ribbon.

Serum Cures Hog Cholera.

The hog serum being administered
by an expert from the federal agri-
cultural department, under the direc-
ton of Live Stock Commissioner Mer-
Ger, is having the desired effect. 1t Is
checking hog cholera in every commu-
nifty where it is being used.
F. NJ. Gilmore, a farmer of Winfield,
reported that it saved his entire herd,
except four hogs. The serum was not
given them until they were almost
dead of cholera.
DR.. L. D. Ryan of Emporia has tried
1t on six different punches of hogs in
Chase county and in each case it eff
fected over go per cent cures. The
hogs which died were not treated I'M
til the disease had reached it's last
stages. In order to make a thorough
test few hogs in each afflicted bunch
were left unvaccinated. In nearly ev-
cry instance they died, while the vac
cinated hogs recovered.
So grateful do the farmers, whose
hogs were saved, feel, that they are
offering to donate hogs to the agricul-
tural college to be used in the manu-
facture of serum.

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.

Coffee is such a secret worker that
it is not suspected as the cause Of sick
ness or disease, but there is very
sure way to find out the truth.

Wants Labor Agency Law.

Employment agencies are to be reg
ulated next, if Charles Harris, state
free employment director, has his way.
81 shall try and get the legislature to
pass a drastic law in regard to private
employment agents." said Harris. 1T
is time that poor people, out of work,
be protected from these sharks. Some
agencies are all right, but some of
them work all sorts of schemes to
bunco a laboring man out of his last
dollar.
Last week I got onto one scheme
which is reprehensible. The agent
and a railroad contractor manipulate
it. The agent, after receiving his fee
of 81 in advance, sends a man to the
contractor to work. The contracto
let's him work half day or so and
then discharges him because he is in
competent. Then contractor and the
agent divide the 81. Other agents take
a laborer's 81 and send him to some
distant county to work. When ne gGts
there he finds no work, not even the
man to whom he was directed. Uusu-
ally the man has no money, so the
agent has no trouble.
Kansas should have law compell-
ing employment agents to conduct an
absolutely legitimate business, says
Mr.. Harris.

The custom of turning up the trous-

Britain. It's practice there has been
universal for several generations, and
has been initiated by Americans af-

when the fashion of trousers too long

deliberate intention that they should
be perpetually turned up, was first in

Many Prizes for Kansas Grain.

Forty prizes are offered for Kansas
corn, % for Kansas wheat and 80 for
Kansas oats by the National Corn ex-
position, which opens in Omaha De
cember and closes December IL.
The prizes range from 81 to $50.
Besides these prizes which may be
competed for only by farmers of this
state, the grains from here may be
entered in zone and world classes,
For instance, an oats trophy is Of
fered by Colorado for the best peck
of oats in the world. No better oats
are grown than those in Kansas. A
trophy is offered by a cereal food
manufacturer worth $1,000 for the best
ear of corn in the world and another
by Indiana worth $1,000 for the best
ten ears.
The Wichita Eagle offers a prize
worth $500 for the best bushel OF
wheat grown in Kansas in 1909 and
also a $50 prize for the farmers in
stitute sending the largest number OF
entries, while another $50 awaits the
farmer who exhibits from Kansas the
best bushel of soft wheat.

Care of Teeth.

Decayed teeth mar the beauty of the

and cause great pain. Care of the
teeth should begin early in life, for all
decay begins from the outside, hence

cannot take place. II one would make
IL a rule to remove all food particles
with a toothpick and to brush the
teeth regularly, the dentists would not
thrive as well as they do now. Use a
brush that is moderately soft, with
long, elastic bristles.

rfoht Hose Injurious.

Are your stockings long enough for
your feet?
A seller of shoes remarked not long
ago that the short stocking was pro-
ductive of as much discomfort and
foot mischief as the tight shoe.
And a great many women do buy
their stockings too short.
The result of this is to draw" the
feet to make the tips of the toes ten
der and sore, and generally to in
crease ones disposition to fatigue.
Stockings should be at least ha'f an
inch longer than the foot.
To keep them from rumpling up and
forming irritating creases, make
small cross-wise plat under the arch
of the foot
When the foot is thrust into the
shoe the pressure draws this plat
out to a sufficient extent to make, the
stocking quite easy.

Schools for TubercuIous chiIdre


Special schools for tuberculous chill

In cities like Providence, Boston and
New York, where outdoor schools have
been conducted for two years, the re-
suits obtained from the treatment OF
children in special tuberculosis open
air schools seem to show the great ad-
vantage of this class of institutions.
This, coupled with the experience Of
open air schools in Germany and Eng
land, proves that children can be cured
of tuberculosis and keep up with their
school work, without any danger to
fellow pupils.

Why Baby Crop Is Short.

Father" Beck of the Holton Re-

only reasonable explanation of the
shortage of the Kansas baby crop.
Father" Beck says: Some of the
newspapers are deploring the fact that
while the hog, cattle, corn, wheat and
hay crop has increased in Kansas, the
baby crop has fallen off 2,130 during
the past year. There used to be say
ing rich man for luck and poor
man for children. The trouble in Kan
sas is, people generally seem to have

STILL THE LAND OF PROMISE.

That America is still looked upon as
a land of promise by the people of for
eign countries is well illustrated by
the desertion of some 200 men from
the British warships which visited
New York for the Hudson-Fulton eel
ebration. The United States is still
the lure of Europe, says Cleveland
Plain Dealer. The Eldorado is yet
west of the Atlantic. The experience
OF the English feet is but repetition
of what has been met many times be-
fore by fleets visiting the American
coast There is always the tempta-
ton for the visiting tar to come ashore
and forget to return. Perhaps they
have relatives in this country ready
to shield them and give them home
and start in the new world. Per
haps they have merely absorbed the
way to fortune and comfort lies
through the gates of New York. A
striking contrast is offered between
the experience of the American fleet
on its recent world tour and the usual
experience of the fleets visiting this
country. 1t was one of the boasts OF
the returning American ships that the
men aboard and ashore had conducted
themselves with almost project de-
corum; that none had deserted, though
opportunities to do so had been many.
This is not to argue that American
tars are any better grade of men
than those of other navies-thoIgh we
are pleased to believe they are-but
merely indicates their different point
OF view.

bone hair brush has appeared with
strong bid for popularity The

The disruption of the International
potash syndicate. which is reported
from Germany, calls attention to an
industry that has grown to enormous
proportions in recent years. Potash
is used for reviving impoverished
soils. There are immense beds of it
in Germany and in the United States.
During the present year Germany has
taken steps to prevent the expectation
of potash from Germany. 1t is ex-
pected that very low prices will result
from the disagreement between the
owners of large German mines.
