! WEAK-ANKLED WOMAN'S SHOE
Oressy and High Footwear Now Be
Ing Made In Variety
Of Styles.

It is an actual hardship to the wom-
an whose ankles are so weak; that
she cannot wear low shoes or pumps
in hot weather. Besides the discom-
fort from heat in our climate one is
conscious of looking heavily shod.
Many are tempted for dress occas-
ions to slip into dainty pumps, but for
those women who have a wholesome
dread Of broken bones what Is to be
done?
Fortunately 1t is now possible to
get "dressy" shoes high. To wear with
lingerie frocks there are good looking
shoes in white buckskin or suede,
some of them embroidered or beaded
on the vamp.
High bronze shoes or colored boots
to match special frocks can also be
had.
For morning or outing use there are
well cut high tan shoes or sporting
looking white canvas and buckskin
with heavy soles. Tennis soles are
also to be found on boots that support
the ankle.

GET PLENTY Of FRESH AIR |
Importance Of ventilating Rooms, Es-
peciaIIy Sleeping Chambers, ls
Too Often Overlooked.

Nothing is more common than fresh
air. Nature has provided 1t In abund-
ance for all who will take 1t. There
is no one thing SO potent to prevent
disease, so effective in maintaining
q healthy action of the whole body.
Bad air spreads disease. Consumption,
pneumonia, bronchitis and catarrh are
bad-air diseases. Bad air, too, is a
cause of colds.
Sewage flowing into pure water pol
lutes it. So the air we exhale from
our lungs pollutes the air in the room.
The impure air from the lungs of any
number of people in a room mixes
with the pure air and makes it dan
gerous and unfit for breathing. There
must be supply of fresh air con-
stantly coming in to take the place
of the foul air, which in all cases
should be permitted to escape near
the top of the room.
1t Is a law of nature that air Is
always in motion, and because this Is
true one has only to lower the win
dows a little from the top and to
raise them a little from the bottom
and the process Of ventilation will
20 on without our thought or care.
It is Impossible to estimate the
amount of misery and suffering caused
by impure air. II you would escape.
see to it that you get at all time q
plentiful supply Of fresh air.

PRACTICAL TRICK OF TRAMP
Money He Received on Leaving Small
pox Hospital Is Declined by Res
taurant Proprietor.

II have not come to solicit aims,
madam" he said to the restaurant
proprietress: Il have just called to
make small purchase, and, at the
same time, to show to you mans in
humanity to man, and what cold,
hard world it is in which we live. In
the meantime, would you kindly put
me up nice beef sandwich, with
a plentiful supply of mustard, ETC.. for
which l will tender the equivalent in
coin of the realm?
"As was saying thank you.
madam, that will do admirably-tis a
cold, cruel world. For instance, these
few bronze coins, with which am
about to pay you for my sandwich
represent my worldly goods, and they
were given with niggardly hand this
morning on my leaving the smallpox
hospital.
What! You won't accept them
Nor take the food back? l may take
them and go? Thank you, madam;
wish you a good morning."

smart-Looklna Bonnet.

Elderly women who prefer bonnets
to hats sometimes find it dificult to
find pleasing models. At store saw
recently some very pretty and smart
looking bonnets. One was Of braided
net, black, draped softly over the
crown, and coronet trimmed with q
bunch Of dainty white flowers from
which rose black aigrette. The
strings were Of good ribbon. Another
was Of white Yedda braid. covered
with cobwebby black net. The left
side was trimmed with black SILK

roses also held the strings at the back,

The SPIDER AND THE FLY

what change has come over the
world since the time when children
used to be taught what were consid-
cred to be pretty verses OF the hate
ful. horrid spider and the innocent
little ny who used to be invited to
walk into his parlor, and, tempted BY
many allurements, be there caught
ruthlessly bound hand and foot and

son Is made for the young to avoid
the allurements of the world. for the
wages OF sin is death, and he who
loveth the danger shall perish In It.

we have changed all THAR" Now we
know that any agency that is destruct-
I'VE OF the fly is a precious boon to
mankind. We know that the harm
less, innocent fly, of whom we used
10 talk during the winter at least In
rather pitiful sympathetic tones,
though our tune changed sometimes
IN summer, when he bothered our
rest, is one of the most deadly enc
mics that mankind has. He is prob
ably responsible for more sickness
and death, and especially among the
chlldren-those to whom he was held
up once as an object lesson for SYM
pathy and an ethical warning in the
past-than any other single agent.

quakes and floods, cannot be COM

cow SETS WORLDS RECORD
Missouri Chief Josephine, Holstein-
Friesian Dairy Animal, Does
Wonderful Stunt.

It remained for the Missouri col
lege of agriculture at Columbia, No.,
to raise and develop the champion
dairy COW of all the world. Missouri
Chief Josephine, a Holstein-Friesian
COW finished her six-months' test on
July Is. producing 17,OOS.8 pounds,
an average Of 93.4 pounds of milk
daily for 1872 days. This is equivalent
to 46.7 quarts, or 11.6 gallons every
day. Her highest record for one day
wae 1902 pounds. This record is the
more remarkable because no special
preparation had been made for this
test. and Josephine has done her full
duty In the regular dairy herd Of the
university, having had five calves In
6h years.
Not only has this record smashed
all previous worlds records for milk
production, but the per cent. Of butter
fat is increasing daily, so that, barring
accidents. this COW will undoubtedly
produce more butter during period
of IL months than any other COW
that has ever been tested In the
world
This COW is but one of number OF
remarkable cows owned by the UNI
versity Of Missouri and maintained
solely for the instruction of its stu
dents In agriculture and for 1nvestiga-
tional purposes. Only 20 Jersey
COWS in the history of the world have
~ A<x NJ
produced more than 700 POUNDS OF
butter In one year. Five OF these
cows, or rs per cent, of the total num-
Der are owned and were bred by THIS
Missouri institution. The college,
owns more than three hundred pure
bred and registered animals. belonging
to II distinct breeds.
Josephine's record exceeds the pres
emit worlds record for six months by
1.458 pounds.

ships have called our attention to the
feathered throng that sail about the
sky, or perhaps chanticler has really
awakened the world-to the possibili-
ties of feathers. At any rate they are
everywhere in endless and bewildering
variety.
They have been made up in pieces
all ready for the hat, and the way of
the amateur milliner is made easy.
This is the sort of trimming that is
safe for her to undertake She should
buy both the shape and the trimming
all ready prepared. Some of the for.
mer come already lined, which is a
great convenience; for placing the
trimming properly is not easy by any
means.
