newest IDEAS IN GIRDLEs
Many Materials for Choice and Design
Is Altogether Matter for tho
Individual.

The newest girdles are made of
rope, bead. metal, fabric and chenille.
The latter are particularly we'll liked,
as are also those made OF pierced
metal pieces run with ribbon and OBJ
tainable in assorted colors. There
are also those made of colored proxy
lin, ribbon laced. These pyroxylin
girdles, while extremely light In
weight, have an effect similar to the
heavier metal ones. Another of this
class of girdle is the heavy linked
chain or metal rope, made in either
gilt, silver or oxidized.
Due to the great popularity of cord
girdles, there have been manufactured
special ornamental pins in plain and
chased effects, also set with colored
stones, intended for use as fastening
for the girdles in place of knot, b.
ing both practical and ornamental,
and at the same time eliminating the
knot tying wear on the girdle.

The only way to stamp out the use of
opium and cocaine primarily is
through interstate regulation.
"Since the importation Of opium was
prohibited, in 1909, process Of manu-
facture has been evolved which has
left the door wide open again. The
process of manufacture is very simple
and can be carried on quietly for
years. The crude opium is bought
from druggists who, without an inter
state regulation law, can import the
crude drug and distribute it at will

StvIe in Shoes.

Among the popular low shoes for
dressy wear at present is the Direc-
toire slipper. II comes in patent
leather, dull kid and black satin, and
is ornamented with a square or oval
gold or kid buckle on the instep.
Low shoes promise to be far more
elaborate this year than for some
time past, as the narrow skirts and
slashed hens have brought them into
more prominent view. Bronze slip
pers with fancy insets of gold on the
toe, trimmed with bronze beads, are
in good style, as are the Directoire
and beaded slippers of black satin
with short vamps.-Harper's Bazaar.

There is tendency to get away
from the large collar which has been
in vogue for a year or more, says the
Dry Goods economist. Many Of the
suits will be made with small collars
and fancy revers, in round, square or
pointed shape, which start from the
shoulder and are entirely separate
from the collar. A few are made COL
larless, but have the trimming inset
to give the effect of a collar. While
the tendency during the late, fall has
been to favor coats buttoned at the
shoulder, this is not considered a good
spring idea and low openings are ex-
pected to be in vogue.

JUST MAKING OUT A CASE
Uncle Jeth Had Deep Reason for o.
cupation That Was Seemingly
Improbable.

John Collier. the secretary of New
York's board of moving picture cen
sors, said the other day:
ITS no good getting up objec-
tionable picture plays. We never
pass them. In fact, we turn them
down so invariably that 1t seems to
me the composers Of such plays are
animated BY q spirit OF perversity.
They remind me Of old Uncle Jethro
Husk.
Uncle Jethro sat fishing on tho
bank of tiny rivulet when a stranr
for stopped beside him and said:

ash in such . small stream ~ THAR
"'No. there amt none.' Uncle Jeth
Grunted.

A Huntinu Story.


An old backwoodsman that Abra-
ham Lincoln often told Of had very
heavy, over-hanging eyebrows, and
wore big spectacles with brass rims.
One day he came rushing into his
cabin and Selling his rifle, aimed ii
carefully through crack of the door
at great oak tree that stood near,
and fired.
What is it?" whispered his wife.
"A wildcat, Sairy," he said, e1
citedly, AN l missed him."
He hastily loaded and fired again,
and then again.

good wife. Let me look at you.

Nation Loses Millions by Bad Roads

try roads is now about % cents per
ton to the mile. In the European
countries as long as IS years ago the
cost had been reduced to 10 cents, and
it Is much lower today. On some of
the roads going into London, by the
motor cars now in use, 1t Is less than
four cents, and by wagon freight can
be hauled almost anywhere on the con-
tinent for from one-half to one-third
it's cost in the United States. The
saving effected under this system
amounts to hundreds Of millions of
dollars every year.
According to the report Of the inter-
state commerce commission in 1906,
our railroads handled more than $780,
100000 tons Of freight which originat-
ed on their respective lines. All this
had to be taken to and from the cars.
A great deal of it was made up Of the
products Of the farm and the forests,
and it is estimated that at least 200,-
100000 tons of it had a haul of nine
miles at cost of % cents a ton. That
bill alone would represent more than
00,000,000, and other freights and
hauling would run the sum to $780,
100000 or over. Now suppose we cut
the wagon freight bill in half, or to
liz cents ton, which is still far
above the cost Of hauling in Europe,
and the saving would be $250,O00,0 900
a year. In fact, the loss on our haul
ing is one of the greatest leaks of our
whole Industrial system. To save this
waste of effort and money should be
among the chief concerns of our
people. It is gratifying to note that
they are awaking to the need of con-
sistent and concerted action and TAX
ing up the matter in earnest.

A BRAIN WORKER.

extravagant claims made of them. But
I cannot withhold my acknowledge
ment Of the debt that I owe to Crate
Nuts food.
Il discovered long ago that the very
bulkiness Of the ordinary diet was not
calcuie.ed to give one clear head,
the power of sustained, accurate think
ing. I always felt heavy and sluggish
in mind as well as body after eating
the ordinary meal, which diverted the
blood from the brain to the digestive
apparatus.
Il tried foods easy Of digestion, but
found them usually deficient in nutri-
ment. experimental with many break
fast foods and they, too, proved un-
satisfactory, till reached Grape-Nuts.
And then the problem was solved.
"Grape-Nuts agreed with me per-
fectly from the beginning, satisfying
my hunger and supplying the nutri-
ment that so many other prepared
foods lack.
II had not been using it very long
before I found that was turning out
an unusual quantity and quality OF
work. Continued use has demonstrat.
