A FOOLISH FIGHT IN EMBRYO.

According to report published in The Coast I1mes
of Crescent City, the fight is on between that town and

Uncle jerks Appeal.

Uncle Jenk and Aunt Merry Spig
Ter, having been unable to get along
peaceably together, had separated on
an amicable basis. Uncle Jenk took
up his abode in an old mems home.
Aunt Merry kept the cottage and gar
den and also retained the slender bank
account
Under this arrangement the two old
people were on the friendliest footing,
and Uncle Jenk made neighborly calls
upon his wife at frequent intervals,
often doing small bits of work about
the premises, for which Aunt Merry
scrupulously paid him.
On one occasion, the plastering hav-
ing fallen from the ceiling, Uncle Jenk
solicited the job Of repairing. naming

Aunt Merry considered excessive.

Pellaara and the Buffalo Gnat.

New Orleans Picayune: Prof. H.
Carmen, a United States entomolo-
gist and bacteriologist, who has been
studying pellagra in Kentucky, in
the southwestern section where the
disease is rife, has announced that
it is caused by the buffalo gnat,
which attacks the live stock in many
parts of the middle south and south
west.
The tracing of some of the most
serious and deadly diseases to we'll
known insects, which were only
considered as troublesome and an
noying, has put it in our power to
guard ourselves against some of the
most deadly diseases. If pellagra
can be effectually saddled on the
buffalo gnat and arouse the people
into a war of determination against
him, another great step will be taken
for the protection of human life and
health. We are finding out that
some of our most deadly enemies are
those of our own households, such
as the mosquito and fly. These ought
to be exterminated, and if the buff
falo gnat is to be added, then let him
be ''sWatted' without mercy.

and cheap limitations, even il they ap-
pear, are easily detected.
Corsetlet waist belts are worn again,
but no bones are used to stiffen them.
They are merely shaped to the figure
and must be quite soft and pliable.
This means that the corset beneath the
dress must be perfect fit.
In line with the revival of quaint old
styles have come along some old time
favorites in fabrics. One Of these,
which enjoyed some vogue as an alter
native with velvet last winter, is cor
duroy This year the vale is wider.
Challie is another material that will
be popular this winter in the all wool
varieties. It comes in quaint little
figured patterns and in many bordered
designs.
The corset cover with the straight
upper edge that may be cut from en-
broidery is one that is well liked. In
the illustration the cover is cut with
seams at the center back and under
the arms; consequently there is little
fullness at the waist line.
