AMERICAN MILLIONAIRE
FORMERLY FRUGAL MONK

Paris.-Henry NJ. Cannon is well
known in the United States as presi-
dent of the Pacific Coast company
and as a former comptroller of tae
treasury. He is not so well known,
however, as a resident of a Francis
can monastery, wherein he followed
a life more simple than that ever
dreamed of by DR.. Wagner himself.
The story leaked out when Mr.. Can
non recently passed through Paris on
his way home. His friends noticed a
change in him, but no one imagined
it was due to a residence in a monas-
terry on the slopes of Fiesole, not far
from Florence. True, he had bought
the monastery and hung its bare walls
with tapestries. True, also, he wore
silk underwear rather than the pre-
scribed hair shirt; but all the same
he lived as a monk and occupied a
monastery.
From his quiet retreat, like John
Ruskin, he sailed forth every day to
study art and Etruscan patterns.
Henry NJ. Cannon brought the same
zeal to his life of contemplation and
study as he is known to have done
in his development of a state, or even
of Alaska itself.

ONE THIRD OF BABIES
IN IOWA ARE DEAD

Des Moines, Iowa.-That one third
of the babies in Iowa under one year
old died since the hot weather set in,
is the alarming statement made by
DIR. G II. Sumner, secretary of the
state board of health. So alarming
has become the death rate among
infants, and the state board of health
has issued a special bulletin to faith
ers and mothers, entitled Save the
babies" DR.. sumner attributes the
unusual death rate to four causes;
Cholera infantum, infantile paralysis,
poor milk, improper care. According
to statistics. the first-named disease
is the worst in the history of the
state. No section seems to be free
from it, and infants are dying by the
score.
SO serious has cholera infantum and
infantile paralysis become that DR..
Sumner has called a special conven-
ton of physicians from all over Iowa
to discuss means to prevent fatalities.
Death claimed 81 babies under one
year old in Des Moines in July, and

ASSAUIANT OF GAYNOR
is REAL PIED PIPER

New York-Rats were the sole
companions Of James ]. Gallagher,
the man who shot Mayor Gaynor.
Rats alone cared for him, at least
since the death of his wife. In fact,
this man, it was learned. had some
strange power that brought rats to
him just as they went to the pied
piper.
The Hamlin man had to blow a
horn to attract rats, but Gallagher
made noise from deep in his throat.
Such was the charge filed in the sixth
district appraisers stores in which he
worked once.
In the big warehouse where thou
sands of boxes and bales of goods are
handled every week it is difficult TO
keep out rats. They swarm into the
big storehouses. Gallagher, with 9TH
er workmen. used to handle the bales
and boxes with the rodents running
about trying to escape.
But all the rats understood Gala
CHER Sometimes they were so nu-
merous and fierce that other workmen
ran away from them but not Gala
CHER. His strange power over them
was not understood until one day
when a number of hungry rodents had
been cornered and showed fight, the
men retreated.
Gallagher stuck and began to make
a peculiar noise, one that his fellow
workmen could not initiate, and
therefore could not describe. At once
the rats went to him. AS he contin-
ued they climbed up his legs and sat
on his shoulder
His fellow workers, looking upon
him. saw the rats gather about him
with squeals of affection similar to
the noise Gallagher made. They crept
upon him from all sides. He stroked
the rodents as he gave the chuckle.
and they climbed all over him.
Many of the rats fattened on the
refuse that had been thrown from the
stores and were aggressive He cod
died them and let them nestle in mis-
arms.
He finally put the rats away from
him, but to horrify the other men he
called them back every noon hour
with the cry They came through
cracks in the floor and from holes in
the wall.
"They are lovable animals" he Of
ten told his companions. THE rat is
not much understood. You must greet
him with his own love call and he
will not harm you.
The workmen could not understand
Gallagher. They looked upon him as
possessing some uncanny power. His
familiarity with rats did not help to
make him popular

Iris. The skirt is trimmed at the
front and sides with bands of black
embroidered chiffon, the embroidery
being in black and white This chif-
fon Is laid over plainly stitched bands
Of cerise satin. Bands of Persian lace
combining black, white and cerise are
stitched lengthwise upon the skirt and
bodice, while the front of the bodice
has a sort Of plastron of the chiffon
embroidery over cerise satin. The
round neck is finished with a plated
tuffle of white French net sprinkled
with faint designs of black and bound
with little strips of the embroidery
used upon the skirt and bodice in
lengthwise strips.
Only one mandate seems to stand
in the way of a woman having pret-
ty much anything she may elect in
the way of a coat. When a separate
coat is necessary the problem is diff
ficult. Many times coat and skirt are
OF the same color, then again the two
garments combine different tones of
one color. Rose, brown, blue and
green effects are extremely smart for
early fall wear, while the delicate
shades of purple will consort with
darker tones of the same color in lux
urious modes for indoor wear.
At this moment one sees delightful
new outing suits coming out in Rus
sian style developed in a great variety
of materials. From these modes
mothers are also copying frocks for
school days so nearly upon school
and college girls. Lapels are strong
features of the new coats, regardless
of the age of the women for whom the
coats are intended
No matter what the color or mate
rial used, black trimmings will be
used in great quantities, satin, braid,
passamenterio and the corded silks
being given preference according to
the material used and purpose of the
dress. Many coats are accompanied
by belts of patent leather or belts of
heavy satin and silk just stffened
sufficiently to give them a greater ef-
feet
A great many dark gowns are seen
among the new models which are re-
garded as forecasts or autumn. One
doubts il the mourning of the English
court has had a serious influence in
this direction, although the influence
OF fashion is subtle and is never to
be accounted for. Black and navy
blue are just now the two most-used
tones, but, as has been said before
in previous discussions or the sub
ject, bright colors are apt to take
away all sombreness from the black
est toilettes.
Satin is cropping out again in little
tailor mades for early fall and the
black and navy blue ones might easily
be said to lead Silk and satin cost
little more these days than handsome
woods or even cottons and they are
noon suits.

COMING FASHION NOTES.
><>>>>>>>>>>>>;

New York. Ideas that are clever
and novel never go lacking, especial
ly in Paris, so that they eagerly take
up any effective idea that comes along
and make the most of it in designing
their costumes. They very quickly
saw the beauty of the black and white
costumes which have been the lead
ers of fashion during the past few
months, and at once adopted this
combination of color as one capable
of enhancing their charms. After
they had exhausted the possibilities
of black and white alone. they ach-
ieved startling effects by adding to
them a bit of brilliant color. Their
beloved cerise was, of course, one OF
the hues chosen, and side by side with
it in the same gown, they often used
purple.
Cerise and purple are a union Of
tones which 1t can easily be imagined
would not appeal to every one, and
some less fantastic variations of the
black and white costume have been
devised. A note of yellow makes a
pleasant change without producing
any sharp contrast, and this color is
effectively used in a lovely little
house frock in black and white silk
The material is one of those uncer-
tain backgrounds which are so much
liked by well-dressed Parisiannes
The skirt Is simple and built upon
lines which will delight both lovers
of the hobble skirt and its opponents.
1t is close-fitting below the knees,
where the customary hobble line be-
gins, but finishing the bottom OF the
skirt is a frill Of its own material,
headed with a band of black satin
piped with pale lemon colored satin.
There is a girdle of black satin
piped with yellow, the guimpe being
of delicate white batiste embroidery.
Not only silks, but cashmeres, voiles
and all the light wooden fabrics with
silk entering largely into their COM
position are used for most effective
costumes exploiting the black and
white combination enhanced by a
touch OF foreign color.
Another splendid costume for house
or visiting wear is developed in white
silk cashmere, trimmed with black
and white embroderies The tunic
which has the new bib-shaped corsage
is of black and white striped moussel-
inc de sole. A dainty feature incor-
porated into the decorative scheme is
a scarf of black satin, lined with
white. 1t is a perfectly straight af-
fair, with no startling new lines, but
very important If supplied with an
unusually good setting. Here the
black satin gives a needed accent. Lit
tie touches of cerise are introduced
here and there and accompanying the
frock is hat of white satin chip
lined with black and trimmed with
long, graceful cerise plumes.
The cerise and purple combination
referred to already is exploited in
splendid frock for formal wear.
Plain silk foulard is the fabric useu,
but it is one of the lustrous new satin
finished foulards delightfully."- soft in
effect and supple to handle. 1t Is in
a delicate shade OF purple, perhaps a
compromise between royar purple and

in each case the cause was cholera in
fantum.
Infantile paralysis Is becoming
alarming in many parts of the state.
There are now more than 40 cases in
Mason City, and a number of deaths
nave resulted there. The government
has detailed DR.. Wade II. Frost of the
marine service to Iowa to study the
malady.
Poor milk comes third on the list.
A recent investigation of dairies was
conducted by the state food and
dairy commissioner, w. D. Barney,
who declared a large number of Iowa
dairies were unsanitary and, in many
instances filthy. A change of condi-
tions has been brought about and a
higher grade of milk is being sold.
DR.. Sumner declares that improper
care has undoubtedly contributed
largely to the death rate. He says
babies can have sunstroke in the
kitchen as well as out of doors, and
that the leaving of babies about hot
stoves contributed to the death rate.

pupil is studying. Each pupil, sit
ting erect, should hold his book SO
that II is at the proper distance from
the eyes Not only curvature of the
spine. but often round shoulders, re-
suit from the wrong position at the
desk. The position when reciting is
also important. A slouchy position.
while the pupil may not intend it, is
nevertheless disrespectful to his
classmates and the teacher, as well
as menace to his health. He should
stand on both feet and stand erect
while making a recitation.
3. Almost nothing in the school
room is of greater importance than
pure air in sufficient quantities. Rest
lessness and frequently trouble in
discipline is the sole result of the
children's breathing foul air. | re-
alize that this is a difficult problem
for the teacher, but by giving it care
full attention | believe we can regu-
late it to a great extent. | trust that
each teacher will speak to the pupils
more frequently than the physiology
lessons may demand upon the import
ance of fresh air in sleeping apart
ments. Probably half, if not a great
er proportion, of the worst cases of
tuberculosis might have been avoid
ed by breathing fresh air at night.
The most thorough investigations of
physicians lead to the belief that per-
haps everyone has in his system some
tuberculosis, and what we should
avoid is the making or neglect of
conditions which will develop II. A
strong physique is the best safeguard
tuberculosis is often brought on by
taking a drink from a cup covered
with disease germs. Our drinking
cups are frequently washed, but |
recommend the pupils to drink only
from the sanitary fountains at the
schools where these have been in
stalled.
4. This year the work In physical
culture in the various rooms has been
faithfully done, and the pupils have
been greatly benefited by these
