FriIs of FOOTING.

Plated frills Of white tulle footing
are much in evidence on pretty blouses
of colored foulard. They are intend
ed, it is true. to be worn with the sep
arate skirt, but the colors should
match, thus making the dress at least
harmonious, If not a true example of
the one-piece frock.
The footing frill usually is edged
with a little strip of straight or bias
silk like the blouse. and its covered
buttons and small bow tie are OF plain
foulard to match the general color
scheme.

THREE REASONS

A Boston woman who Is a fond

about her experience feeding her boys.
Among other things she says:
Three chubby. rosy-cheeked boys.

years respectively, are three of our

a neighbor whose 3 year old child was

was not long before a truly wonderful
change manifested itself in the child's
face and body. The results were re-
markable, even for Grape-Nuts.

Nuts every day and keep strong and

Many mothers instead Of destroying
the children's stomachs with candy
and cake give the youngsters a hand
full OF Grape-Nuts when they are beg

In Pastel CoIors.

Plain materials are much easier of
construction than r those of striped,
barred and Powered material. Per-
haps 1t is this that has made the deli
cate p~astel-colored batiste a favorite
with the home dressmaker.
The fact remains that many of the
more expensive sheer linen models in
these delicate tones are copied by the
amateur in the less expensive ba-
tiste.
A favored method of finishing the
batiste frock is the basting together
OF its various parts and the holding
of them in place by a very close and
even feather-stitching.

There is quite a return to the once
popular fashion of having a black frock

the real key. to his success was his
personal charm which got and held

All doubt as to the election being
held on No. 2 in Gary has been dis
PEELED, owing to the special meeting of
the town board Saturday afternoon at
which the resolution calling for the
election was passed and the city di-
vided into wards.
There will be five wards in Gary and
consequently two aldermen at-large.
These wards are as follows:
!. East of Broadway. north of the
wabash tracks.
2. West of Broadway, north of the
Wabash tracks
g. West of Broadway, between the
Wabash tracks and Nineteenth street
a. All south Of the Wabash, east OF
Broadway.
s. West Of Broadway, south Of Nine

The meeting of the town board Satur-
day afternoon came as complete sur
prise to the public, which has been
kept in the dark as to their intentions
when they called the special meeting
Both Mr.. Sears and Mr. Caldwell had
been out of the city. but returned sud
denly and the meeting was called.
As to the division of the wards the
arrangement seems to be satisfactory

NOT
MEAN THE
DEATH KNELI.
Especial to THE T1MEs.l

Crown Point. Ind. Oct est is
the opinion of automobile men
that the tearing down of the grand
stand at Crown Point does not mean
the death knell of the Cobe automobile
races. The Chicago Tribune said yes
terday:
LAS for the Cobe cup race this way,
it is felt that the tearing down of the
grandstands at Crown Point is far from
signing the death warrant of the Chi
cago classic. The Chicago Automobile
club was not satisfied with the loca-
ton of the stand, and even if Con-
tractor Root had not seen fit to tear
it down, it is more than probable it
would have been moved to some other
part OF the circuit, provided. Of course,
the local club saw fit to again give
the plum to the boosters.
Among the members of the Chicago
club are some who favor looking else
where for a course. Not but what they
are satisfied with the Indiana roads
but think another course can be found
where the railroad facilities are much
better and where it would be possible
to get out a larger crowd next year
No action in the matter has been taker
as yet and probably nothing will be
done by the club for another couple Of
months any way"

Charles Smith, the negro who was
charged with the murder of Joseph
Shaw because of a quarrel over an al
legged stolen horse, was acquitted at
Valparaiso last Friday when the jury.
which had been out for several hours.

jury was satisfsd that the negro had
killed Shaw in self-defense. Shaw 5
dying deposition was introduced in evil
dence in which he charged Smith with
having made the fatal assault upon him.
Smith, however, stated that while they
were driving through the marsh Shaw
said to him that he (Smith) had better
say his prayers. at the same time com
ing for him with a knife. He showed
marks on his face Of having been badly
cut up
The case was on trial for about four
days. and recalls the sensation that
was created when Shaw. in a dying
condition. dragged himself to farm
house and asked for a drink of water
He was removed to the Christian hos
