rants and in all it's steamships was re-
ceived at Raisin day headquarters
today. On the back of the menu card
is printed the following article about
the raiSin industry:
The raisin vineyard has become a
feature in the California landscape
and a great industry has grown up
which is shutting out of the markets
of the country the raiSinS of Spain
and the currants of Greece RaiSin
production is not confined to the San
Joaquin valley. A large area in the
Sacramento valley produces raisins and
the orange country of the south and
the foothills of San Diego are deVoting
many acres to the raisin grape.
The industry is pushing at the gates
of the worlds markets and the fruit it
self is both a democrat and royalist.
1t goes into the cottage and the palace,
is part of the Englishman's plum pud-
ding and has q place in the hamper Of
the mountain climber and in the stores
of the miners cabin.
CAN EXTEND IT'S USE
But it's use can be greatly extended
to the profit of both the grower and
the consumer II is a valuable food
product. 1t appeals to the child with
the unsophisticated appetite. to dwell
ers in warm climates and to the in
habitants of frozen lands. There is
much of rudy life in it, as if it had
bottled up the sunshine.
1.-The raisin is California at her best.
Distilled from the soil and piped
through the vine and condensed in the
grape are organic acids, mileral salts
and essential oils which are combined
in the most attractive form to tempt
the appetite.
Fruits, if YOU will, form a climate
for the stomach. not heady, not stimu
lating. not productive of lassitude;
climate which does not depress the
natural flow of the spirits by it's drain
upon nervous energy. We may say
of the raisin what old Roger Ascham,
the scholarly archer of long ago, said
of fruits in general Fruit is whole
some and helpeth to the digestion of
other meats

II may be the suffraget movement,

something is making mems styles look
more like skirts every year. Take the
new opera cape overcoat, for example.

Of the frequent argument over the
fare. the passenger can't defend him

When Mr. Well-dressed Man enters
the theater or opera house, he will
spring another surprise. For his
evening coat will be more like a gown
than an article OF male attire In
stead Of silk facing. there will be n
velvet ruche or shawl-collar circling
his neck. It's great for people dis
posed toward colds. Protects the neck

A peep at the new dress vest will
bring another surprise. Instead OF n
V cut, 1t is a U. Whether the vest

But for morning wear the vest Is
different. Only two pockets. each big

useful for hiding live rabbits and other
things.
The suit TO be worn with this noisy
and sassy vest will be plaid Not
checked. as some mild persons would
have IT, but wild, woolly plaid, like the
Scotch bag-pipers have worn for years.
One plaid suit on Broadway would
cause a disturbance and riot call,
