litan's order instructs his clergy in
the future to celebrate no marriages
unless the parties thereto are
healthy, both mentally and physical
ly. The certificates must be attest

the churches of this nation should
take similar action is plain, as tho
United States leads the world in

cases mental or physical degeneracy
Is given as the cause. The time may
come when the government will take

Well the doctors are very much

They Are Much Narrower Than Of
Old and Are Made of Soft
Material.

Despite the fact that Dame Fashion
says the petticoat is no longer the
mode, We still see the most adorable
models in the shops, and purchase
and wear them, too. True, they are
much narrower than the styles of old
and are made of soft materials, but
nevertheless they are worn by the
conservative woman at any rate.
The jersey material for the top por-
ton has scored such a success that
we find It used in every grade of
skirt, from those having flounces OF
crepe or lace to the ones of satin or
perhaps mohair. and all are beanti-
full for the new petticoat is brilliant
in color or is decorated with flowers
Of decided hue on ground matching
the suit.
In the medium-priced skirt, soft fin
Ished taffeta will be used extensively,
this material being found satisfactory
as 1t has not the rustic formerly 80
much desired, and its wearing quail
ties are greatly improved,
Though there is great deal of talk
of the wider skirt, women are 10th to
sacrifice the slender lines acquired
with so great trouble, and manufac-
turers, realizing this, have made the
new skirts no wider than two and a
half yards. which width hangs grace
fully under the new fall suit.

Very often on the dressing table the
clothes brush with plain wooden
handle is the only unattractive article
to be seen Silver-backed brushes al
ways have bristles too soft to be OF
practical use and the plain ones with
stiff bristles are within the reach or
even the modest purse.
A good way to bring them into har-
mony with the surroundings Is to COW
or the backs of such brushes with bro
cade or broche silk.
Sandpaper the wood 30 1t will retain
mucilage. Have the silk cut the exact
size and shape of the brush's back
and paste it on very smoothly. Finish
the edge after IL is dry, with a narrow
border of gimp or galloon.
Flowered silk to match the color
ing in the other toilet belongings is
best
A brush treated in this way makes
an attractive gift, and one that would
be appreciated by the dainty woman.
Cretonne and small-fgured chintz
may take the place of silk, II the for
mer is used elsewhere In the bedroom
furnishings.
Linen or plain silk with the mono
gram of the owner embroidered on It
also makes pretty covering for the
backs of brushes.

Our Changing Doctors.

The New Orleans. !"

In the reception of the party on
board the replica, New Orleans, I"
which is due to arrive here We'd
nesday on its journey to New Orleans,
Cairo should not permit itself to be
outdone by other cities along tn,
route
AT LOUISVILLE. KY, six steamboats,
were sent several miles up the river
to meet and act an escort for the lit.
tie craft and when the steamers ar
rived In sight of the city, every
steamboat in the harbor and nearly
every factory in the city announces
the arrival BY a blowing of whistles.
Even the railroads joined in the
whistle" reception.
According TO accounts of the re-
ception published in the Louisville
Courier-JOurnal, the members of the
party on board the replica were elat-
ed. The men commented on Louis
ville's hospitality and later it is saio
they personally telegraphed to the
Pittsburgh, publications, giving the
details Of the manner in which they
were received in the Kentucky city
Until arriving at Louisville, the
steamer never had more than two
boats as an escort and this was com
mented upon by one member Of the
party in an interview printed by the
Courier-Journal.
When the craft arrives in the
Cairo port, every steamboat available,
as well as the tugs and gasoline craft
should meet it and act as an escor,
to the visitors. Cairo should not
permit itself to be outdone even by
larger cities, for it has Just as mach
interest, If not more, than any Of the
other municipalities, for the purpose
of the trip Is to increase interest in
the deep waterways movement.
One hundred years ago the original
New Orleans, the first steamboat to
navigate between Pittsburg and New
Orleans, made Its first trip to the
Crescent City and although Cairo was
only a village at that time, every
man woman and child turned out to
greet the steamboat,
Cairo's reputation for hoapitalit,
was placed in jeopardy by the lack
of Q reception for the steamer
Quincy several weeks ago and there
should be no repetition OF this. The
commercial organizations will take
care Of the visitors after their arrival
In port, but It Is up to the steamboa
companies and launch owners to dc
the rest. 8

In August and September the crop

about 50,000.0 900 bushels less than
the average yield. a reduction of
about one-sixth, but far better than
was expected two months ago.
The practical result Is that while
some crops are shown to be short of

THE THANKSGIVING TURKEY.

In choosing a turkey, as any other
poultry, 1t should be plump, have
smooth legs and the cartilage at the
end OF the breast bone should be Pill
able. Cock turkeys are usually con-
sidered better eating than hen turk
eys, unless the latter are young and
plump.
A turkey weighing nine POUNDS
should roast from two and a half to
three hours. There are such differ
ences in taste as regards stuffing that
a few recipes may not be unaccepta-
BILE at this time.
There is the old-fashioned sage
stuffing liked by our grandmothers,
and one that Ia hard to improve on.
