CREATING FASHIONS
"A Tedious and Exdcting Profession
Explained
BY MRS. KINGSLEY.

With regard to the actual proceed
ure OF evolving a new style, some
of the cleverest dressmakers start
from some dominant idea which they
endeayor TO materialize by trying II
on the most elegant and picturesque
model studying the effect of tno ma
terial, measuring, selecting, discard

ways until they find their ideal OBJ

business for both the artist and the
model.
Sometimes these models are stolen
by unfaithful employees, heavily
bribed by interruptions firms eager
TO secure the latest" Others en-
ploy clever women TO go and sketch
models under the pretense Of giving
orders for costly gowns, which they
are allowed to Inspect and see tried

Hint for Stout Women.

Practically every STOUT woman who
deplores her superabundance of
aYoirdupois, will, in most cases re-
sort to corset lacing. And almost all
draw the corset at the middle OF the
waist, making the form even larger
than is natural. To hide excessive
flesh OF hips or stomach wear the
straight-front corset and lace II at
the lower portion. This Is the only
hygienic method OF doing so that

gether and the dress waist will At

Put Away Gasoline Stowe

IL will soon be time TO put away
your gasoline stove or gas plate, and
then you Will want TO clean the
smoke-begrimed kitchen wall. TO do
this put a scant teacup of washing
soda In pail OF cold water, having
first dissolved the soda with hot wa
ter. The solution may be lukewarm
but not hot; do not use soap. When
washing is done rub the wall with a
flannel rag dipped in boiled oil The

Worth Knowing.

Nut megs should always be grated
starting from the blossom end. They
crate better that way.
The ribs of a discarded umbrella
may be utilized for tying up tall and
willowy palms in pots.
Most housekeepers are agreed that
better work can be accomplished by
using heavy iron than a light one.
When boiling fresh potatoes try put
ting a sprig OF mint in the water to
give delicious flavor to the vegeta-
bles.
Cream to be whipped must be one
day old. No sugar should be added
either before or after IL Is beaten.
The sweetening should be in the pud-
ding or cake with which 1t is served.
Turpentine should be sprayed or
sprinkled In the haunts of cock
reaches. II will often quite destroy
the pests and will always disperse
them.
New linen for working upon should
be rubbed over with dry cake of
soap. This will render the fabric
soft, so that drawing threads or en-
broiderlng upon 1t will be much ia
cilitated.
To remove scratches on furniture,
dip woolen rag in boiled linseed oil,
and with II well rub the scratched
article, which should then be var

Burns and Scalds

For burns and scalds there is moth
Ing more soothing than the white OF
an egg, which should be poured over
the wound. It is softer than colo
dion as varnish for a burn and, be-
Ing always at hand, can be applied
Immediately. IL is the contact with
the air which gives the extreme pain.
White of egg excludes the air and
prevents Inflammation.

Kitchen Aids.

A busy housewife can save herself
and maids a great deal of labor by
covering all the larder, cupboard and
scullery shelves with oilcloth. This is
easily kept clean. The kitchen table
is also covered in the same manner.
while a few odd floor tiles on which
saucepans can be put are equally use
ful, as they are so easily wiped
clean.

The Double Chin.

II double chin has made its ap-
pearance, one OF the best exercises
for remedying 1t is TO lift the head
as high as possible. then from the
point OF the chin with open hand
press firmly down, keeping the head
thrown backward al the same time.

Well Kept Hair.

Glossy hair generally indicates
that 1t has been we'll and carefully
kept-that is, shampooed every few
weeks, thoroughly brushed with the
usual nifty strokes every day and the
scalp massaged regularly. Brillian-
tine is not used so much to impart a
gloss TO the hair as to keep short
hairs from blowing about the face.

Very Important.

An important beauty consideration
Is the poise OF the head. II should be
tipped slightly backward 80 as to
make the eyes seem larger. Lower
ing the chin causes wrinkles. and
also has a tendency to form a double
chin, which is a special bugbear OF
every woman, thin or fat.

Grease Spots.

When frying hot fat may be spilled
on the floor. In that case at once
pour cold water on 1t. The cold wa
Ter Will cause the fat to harden,

the wood or stone of the floor.

Battle the chin and throat frequently
With cold water. Another method is
TO apply some good skin food, pick up
the flesh in TIM folds and roll IL
firmly between the thumb and fore
hngsr, this having tendency to dis
solve the excessive fat cells.

that the addition OF little glycerin
increases its adhesive quality and
makes 1t more elastic. One part of
glycerin TO three parts of glue is
the right proportion.

ly alarmed at what seems to be an
increase in their frequency.
According to the report of the
board of inquiry on the North Da-
kota. coal dust was responsible for
the explosion on that battleship.
Evans declared that he had crawled
into the bunker to take nap. Need
Ing light, he scratched match and
the explosion followed, severely
burning him. The board reported
that there was no trace OF gas in the
bunker No detailed report on the
Michigan explosion has yet been re-
ceived, but the circumstances, so far
as known, were similar.
Lack of ventilation, naval officers
say, is the dangerous factor in bat
tleship coal bunkers. On most of the
ships, II the traps are opened and
kept open to admit air, water
also gets in. 1t is well known that wa
ter in small quantities, with large
amounts of soft coal, will induce
spontaneous combustion. The diff
Guilty of the problem is increased by
the fact that there is little choice in
placing the bunkers, all must open
into the fire room. O.
Many officers are convinced that
these recent explosions offer a strong
argument for the adoption of oil
burners. The danger from coal, they
say, Is to great to be longer toler-
ated.

PENSION PLAN AT
NIAGARA FALLS

An announcement was made by

employees would become effective on
January l. 1911. All employees in their
employ 10 years will be retired at 65.
and may be pensioned at $40 to 800
a month.
Every employee at so, after Is years
service who shall be incapacitated for
any position the company may have
available may be retired and pension
ed. Accepting a pension will not bar
pensioner from engaging in other bus
iness, but no person who shall have
forced the company, within three
years Of retirement, to pay a claim
for damages shall be entitled to a
pension.

RESTORES PLEASING PLUMPNEss
Samose Sold Under Koeppen Bros.
"No Cure No Pay Plan.

There are a good many people in
Pendleton who ardently wish they
could find some way Of getting fat and
plump. While. not i'll. yet they are
so thin and scrawny that their friends
think they cannot be well. In nine
cases out Of ten this condition can be
readily overcome by using the COM
bination Of flesh-forming foods
known as Samose. This little tablet
taken three times day with the food
does wonders in building up good
health and restoring the pleasing
plumpness that is so desirable.
Before the discovery of Samose. peo-
pie who were thin, weak and run
down were advised to take some nau-
seous preparation OF cod liver oil, but
now with this flesh forming food in
palatable form nothing at all disa-
greeable is necessary to gain weight.
Koeppen Bros. have the agency for
this preparation and sell IT with the
promise that II IT does not do all that
is claimed for ii in making people
gain in weight and in health, the mon
ey will be refunded
You certainly can afford TO try a

cost you nohing unless it gives salts

GREAT WESTERN MOVEMENT
Of HOMEsEEKERS PREDICTED

farmers and not a few trades men
who are arranging to go to the north
west. Most of the farmers I talked
with are men who homesteaded or
bought their lands at a low figure
and are now able to sell out at a big
profit, the prices ranging from $3.50
to 5000 an acre; naturally, they fig
ure on doing the same thing over
again in the new districts.
Will Invest Money.
"These people are going to invest
their money in land somewhere in the
northwest. Some will buy small tracts
and practice the more intensive form
Of agriculture, while others will take
up grain and hay lands. Then, again,
there are some who are figuring on
acquiring developed orchards or ber-
ry fields in the older districts. Many
Of them are as familiar with the
northwest as are our people and they
are going into the country to make
money, believing that the four north
western states offer greater opportu-
mites, advantageous and possibilities
than the middle western and south
western states.
THE work of the commercial Or
ganizations railway companies and
individual boosters gives promise Of
showing it's value this year more than
ever before. The people appear to
have greater confidence in the ex-
ploitation literature distributed by
these agencies, and where there is the
least question of-doubt as to crops, eli
matte and other conditions they do
not hesitate to write to bankers to
verify the statements.
Apple Growing Allures.
apple growing, of course, is the
chief topic Of conversation among the
farmers in the middle western
states. They are vitally interested in
what Is being done in the northwest
and not a few talk Of introducing the
northwestern methods into their home
districts, believing that by systematic
pruning, spraying and working of the
soil they can improve their product.
There are many others, however,
who have reached the conclusion that
the northwest is the favored territory
mercial apples. They have tried prac-
tically all the approved means Of
combating pests and overcoming ad-
verse soil and weather conditions with
the result that while the fruit is Of
higher grade than grown under for
mer slip-shod methods the average
crop gathered did not justify the la
Dor and expense involved.
Some explain this by saying that
the work was done in old orchards
while others admit they have no pre-
vious experience as orchardists and
they could not get in touch with any
one familiar with the modern orchard
methods practced in the northwest.

suit against the Missouri, Kansas &

that these are simply forerunners of

NAVAL ACCIDENTS
ALARM OFFICERS

Investigation of the manner of stor-

Railway officials say that the ex-

products, travelling through Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York and other eastern states, have
aroused deep interest and there will
be a heavy movement of prospective
settlers from points east of Chicago.
