A loose or overcrisp material
should be treated with more than ordi-
nary discretion. AS soon as &c is cut
out each section should be stitched
round it's edge by machine to keep 1t
from travelling. This naturally implies
the largest of stitches and the loosest
possible tension. OTHERWISE there will
be drawing round the edge, which
will prevent the successful making up

for the presidential race In 1912. His
activity in the sugar trust investiga-

Among other things he said that the

The question is, after all whether the
modern corset is really Injurious.

SEND CHRISTMAS
PACKAGES |. R
EXPRESS AND POSTAL PEOPLE
ADVISE THE PEOPLE TO FOR
WARD THE PACKAGES EARLY
AND AVOID THE RUsH-oREATI
RUSH ON AT THAT TIME.

AS usual tbs postal servics and the
express companies will be flooded with
| Christmas packages from now until
that festive day, but II is during Christ
mas week that the great rush is on,
1t is always a proper thing to sug-
gest that the Christmas packages be
sent In plenty of time.
The sender surely wants them to ar
rive In time for opening on Christmas
morning along with the rest of the
presents. Otherwise they would be
greatly disappointed and might feel
that the proper attention was not given
to handling their package, falling TO
grasp the fact that heir consignment
to the vast wave of such packages that
sweep the country from end to end
would be as a drop Of water to lake
Detroit. All packages look alike" to
the employees of both the express com
panies and postal service. There is
no discrimination. Your package will
leave Fargo in company with hundreds
Of others and these become thousands
before the end of the journey is reach
ed. So there's no use to kick IL you
start 1t late.
Far better start 1t early It would
surely be better to have it arrive a
day or two ahead of time than q day
or two late. When the hands of the
clock point to 1901 on the morning
OF Dec. rs, Christmas is ever and any
thing that comes after that time, while
1t will without doubt be appreciated,
will seem about as much like Christ
mas gift as kid playing ''anty over
b~.r1I
diamond fan.
The agents Of transportation will do
the best they can for you at any time
--on a drowsy day in July and on
Christmas. During the holiday rush
they increase their force of employees
but even then they can't get your
package there" on time If you don't
send 1t on time.
Mark Your Packages.
The express companies have a spe-
cial label which can be pasted on the
! wrapping of the package stating that
1t is a Christmas package and asking
that it not be opened until Christmas
morning. This is to prevent prema-
ture opening of he present in case it
were mistake for just an ordinary ex-
press package. The packages by mail
could be marked the same way.
There is another thing which is i'm
portant. That Is to get your packages
sent by mail weighed and then see
that the proper amount Of postage is
placed on them. This would prevent
delay in case they were underpaid and
would have to be held up for notifica-
ton. The address, of the sender should
always be put ir small writing in one
corner of the package.
Then too see that the bundles are
we'll wrapped in strong paper and well
tied with stout string or Irvine. Many
articles are lost enroute because they
have been careles5ly wrapped and tied.

HINTS FOR THE DRESS.

For the girl not yet in her teens
provide a dress of scarlet cashmere
or serge. One way Of trimming a
dress of this sort is 70 make few
scallops, pipe them with black and
fasten the dress with black buttons.
However, black should not be domi-

should only be used to outline GER

of medium light blue or white. Blue
cashmere trimmed with coarse lace
is very artistic; in fact, it is COM
bination suitable for a "best" dress.

Man Escapes Serious

Miss Adele Rafter, leading woman OF
the Kolb and Dill company, playing
at the Majestic theater, was severely
injured in an automobile accident be-
tween Bairdstown and Titus station
early last evening. With Miss Rafter
was Frank Young, well known in local
club circles. Young, who owns the

cident occurred, escaped with slight
injuries. Miss Rafter was severely
bruised and cut about the face and
shoulders, and was rendered uncon-
scious by the shock. She was taken
to the Pasadena hospital
Young was racing with another car
when the crash occurred. The two
machines neared Titus station at a
high rate of speed, the Young car
slightly in the rear. The leading ma
chine swerved aside to pass a wood
wagon, but the pursuing vehicle was
less successful, the wheels skidding as
the sweep to the side of the road was
made. ricocheting the machine into
the curb. The speed was so great that
the automobile was wrecked beyond
hope of repair. The fact that poth
OCCUPANTS were thrown clear of the
car probably saved their lives. The
wagon was struck and one of the rear
wheels torn off.
The accident occurred at 7:45 o'clock,
thirty minutes before the time for the
curtain to rise at the Majestic theater,
and Young was making speed in order
to reach the playhouse in tlme TO a.
