BARGAINS IN CHEAP STUFF
Few Deft Touches Will Frequently
Give Garment an Entirely Differ
ent Appearance.

Often you will see real bargains
In frocks and blouses on the ready
made counter. Do not give one look
at the cheap lace or trimming. or at
the way the seams are finished, and
throw it back. Buy your bargain, take
1t home and redeem and regenerate
It.
Cheap lace can be replaced by
good; dainty tulle or net frills can
take the place of cheap ruf1es; seams
can be restitched and coarse en-
broidery worked over by hand. If the
material and the cut justify your buy
Ing the garment at all, you can give it
an individual touch that will raise the
value of your bargain rs per cent.
And even where there is nothing
noticeably cheap or common about
the garment, try to give those little
extra touches; then you will be In no
danger of meeting your new gown
on another woman at the next street
corner.

TAFT FOR MORE PUBLICITY
All Returns Under Corporation Tax
Law to Be Open for Public
Inspection.

Washington, Nov. 26.-President
Taft struck an effectual blow in favor
of publicity of the affairs of corpora
tions when he approved the rules OF
the secretary Of the treasury under
which all returns made under the cor
poration tax law shall be available to
the public.
First it is provided that the return
of every corporation. shall be open to
the inspection Of the officials Of the
treasury department with proviso
that under certain conditions officials
in all other departments of the gov
eminent shall have a similar priv
ilege. If it is desired to inspect the
returns for use in any legal proceeding
the attorney general must pass upon
the application first. after which the
secretary Of the treasury acts; and
the attorney general likewise must
pass upon the application by any Of
mission to inspect the returns. Next

bonaf1de stakeholder of the corpora

A Garden Of Friends.

One of the prettiest corners Of q
certain girls garden is that in which
every plant has been the gift of some
special friend. The sweet old-fashion-
ed flowers that bloom there have thus
a double significance, and their owner
persuades herself that while they
flourish she may be very sure that
she is not forgotten. A fragrant
clump of pinks was set in place by
her dearest school friend, and now
that this friend is living abroad she
likes to think that every breath OF
perfume brings her a kindly thought
of her old chum. A garden of friend
ship is a pretty fancy, and one that
gives lasting pleasure.

HE influence Of Oriental ideas is
! more evident in our millinery
styles than for many year. The
dressier turbans for evening wear ap-
pear to be pieces Of rich fabric draped
about the head and fastened with gor-
geous looking ornaments Of mock
jewels. Gold and silver tissue and
jeweled bands are used in these.
For day wear turbans made on
larger frames show crowns in hand
some fabrics. such as heavy brocades,
tapestries and gold or silver tissues.
Tinsel nets are draped over silk nets
or lace. Nothing is more popular for
the brims or "coronets" than bands
of fur. This is, In fact, the furriest
of seasons. Fur bands appear about
the bottoms Of handsome gowns for
street or visiting and on the fllmiest
OF fabrics for evening wear. Lace
hats with collars of rich fur and hats
Of all descriptions share with the
gowns the smart touch Of fur.

REVOLT IS WANING
DIAZ APPARENTLY HAS UPPER
HAND OF REvOLUTIoNIsTS
IN MEXICO.
NEWS IS SEVERELY CENSORED
Ambassador Wilson Reports Govern
ment In Control While Consular
Agents Assert Fighting Continues
Nine Thousand In Prison.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Advices from
Mexico received in this city through
diplomatic and business channels.
while confirming in part the reports
of insurgent victories in the early
stages of the revolt, indicate that the
government of President Diaz has the
situation well in hand. The general
expectation Is that the struggle will
be short. ~
The taking of towns by the revolu-
tionists at the start of the trouble Is
not regarded as of great Importance,
as these places in nearly every case
were without military garrisQns.
Reports Are Conflicting.
From Ambassador Henry Lane VIII
son at Mexico City comes the report
that the Mexican government already
has complete control of the revolution
and from consular agents in the field
come reports of fighting between the
soldiers of Diaz and Madero.
Secretary Knox admits that much OF
the information received from the in
terror of Mexico, especially from Mex
leo City, is severely censored. He
also conceded that much of the mat
ter Ambassador Wilson is sending
this government comes from the Mex
lean authorities and is not a true re-
port.
Eighteen Are Killed.
A telegram received from the am
bassador was to the effect that the
situation is improving. He says he Is
informed by the foreign Office that
fighting continues at Parral and
Ciudad Guerro, that the revolution
lists have lost IA men and the govern
ment forces had four men killed and
four wounded. The minister of for
eign affairs declares that the remain
der of the republic is quiet.
General Hoyt, commanding the de-
partment of Texas, wired the war de-
partment that military conditions on
the American side of the border were
quiet.
Nine Thousand In Prison.
From private sources 1t was learned
that 5000 Mexicans, or two per cent.
of the population of Mexico City, were
in prison in that place. It was stated
that most of these prisoners we're in.
carcerated for having political afllia'
tions other than with the Diaz gov.
eminent.
Ambassador De La Barra has re.
ceived the following telegram from
Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs
Creel:
"Order has been reestablished in
all the republic with the exception
of the district Of Guerrero, In Chi.
huahua, where fraction of about 200
men are not completely reduced"

For less expensive millinery the
turban of velvet is the most effective
that can be chosen. In order to get
best results, good quality of plain
velvet is selected or one of the
"panne" velvets in good colorings.
The latter are little less expensive
than good quality in plain velvets.
Fancy feathers and wings are cho-
sen for their decoration.
1t takes about a yard and half of
velvet to make a turban. Rows of
parallel shirrings conf1ne the velvet
to the frame, which may be either of
wire or of buckram. A soft crown
should be supported by a lining of
crinoline.
Fabric hats are much in evidence.
Silks, satins, velvets, brocades, tapes
tries, figured ribbons and colors of
various descriptions, all are cast in
the play for winter millinery, but vel
vet holds sway in the star part.

Aberdecn-At the recent election

Aberdeen-At the recent election
Aberdeen cast few votes over 2
600 on governor, placing the cltv,
automatically, under the South Da
kota law, in the first class: Tie
total vote cast was 2205, but there
was some opposition to the city enter
ing the higher class at this time, and
number refrained from voting on
governor. presumably on that &C
count. However. the total is large
enough to carry the city into the de-
sired class. The new classification
enables the city council to borrow
money for certain purposes without a
bond election, increases the salaries
of mayor and city officials, and gives
che right to increase the number Of
wards. In Brown county, final re-
turns give majorities ranging from
$50 to 1900 for all republican candi-
dates for state and county officials.

NEWSPAPERS TAKING 1T UP
Metropolitan DaiIies Giving Advice
How to Check Rheumatism and
Kidney Trouble.

This is a simple home recipe now
being made known in all the lareer
cities through the newspapers. 1t Is
intended to check the many cases OF
Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble
which have made so many cripples,
invalids and weaklings of some Of our
brightest and strongest people.
The druggists everywhere, even In
the smallest communities, have been
notified to supply themselves with the
ingredients, and the sufferer will have
no trouble to obtain them. The pre-
scription is as follows: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce, and Compound
Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle. The
dose is one teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
Recent experiments in hospital
cases prove this simple mixture ef-
fective in Rheumatism. Because Of
its positive action upon the elimina-
tive tissues of the kidneys, 1t compels
these most vital organs to filter from
the blood and system the waste i'm
purities and uric acid which are the
cause Of rheumatism. It cleanses the
kidneys, strengthens them and re-
moves quickly such symptoms as
backache, blood disorders, bladder
weakness, frequent urination, painful
scalding and discolored urine. It acts
as gentle, thorough regulator to tho
entire kidney structure.
Those who suffer and are accus.
toned to purchase bottle Of medi-
cine should not let q little incon-
venience interfere with making this
up. or have your druggist do It for you.
