cotton stuff for daily use. and wooden.
silk or velveteen for Sundays and holi-
days. The hood is never used by the
women, who always leave it hanging
down. Around the neck the young
girls wear a collar more than a quar-
ter-yard wide, made of glass pearls,
set in the most varied patterns. This
pearl collar is worn only by young
girls, and by wives until they have
got their first child. After that, the
pearls are used as fringes and tassels
for the amaut.
The pet garments of the girls, and
Of married women, too, are the
breaches and the kamiks They take
much time to make these garments as
fine as possible. The breaches. which
are worn next the bare body, are
made of costly sealskins or reindeer
skins. They are not fastened to the
body by anything. but their stiffness
keeps them in place. The Greenland
ers know nothing of buttons or hooks
or buckles or braces, at least on the
women's garments.
The kamiks, consist of an inner
stocking Of skin with the hair inside,
and an outer boot made of dyed or
painted skin in the most screeching
colors-bright red. blue. violet. The
most valued are the white half-boots
which are used on Sundays, holidays,
and on certain occasions like mar
riages. The sole of the kamik is not
hard and stiff, but soft and pliable.
Between the soles of the inner and
outer kamik is layer Of straw, that
every day must be taken out and
dried.

girl and is put up twice or thrice a
week. 1t is not taken down at night,
and the women sleep with the top
hanging out over the pillows edge,
which looks exceedingly funny if one
happens into sleeping-room at night.
Round the top are wound ribbons of
different colors. like standards, an.
nouncing the state of their bearers.
The wives wear blue in all shades,
the maidens red. the unmarried moth
ers green in all shades, and the wild.
ows wear black. All other colors are
forbidden. In front they like to fas.

torn out, and two large bald spots ap-

STEAL $4,000 IN TOWELS
Railway Also Take Linen
From Boats.

San Francisco, Cal.-Twenty.one
thousand dollars worth OF towels
were lost" by the Southern Pacific
railroad last year and for that reason
women who ride on its trains and
boats will be compelled to furnish
their own towels hereafter. The tow
els were stolen from the Mushrooms
on the trains and boats, as many as
hundred towels disappearing on one
run. Even roller towels were taken,
though the company padlocked the
racks to keep them from being re-
moved. The towel thieves simply cut
the towels and slipped them off. In
dividual towels disappeared SO fast
that they were replaced with rollers
after being used but short time.

football is not considered a parlor

should also have a duplicate nose
if possible. The player should be
so hard that he can dent a locomo-

emerge from beneath twenty-one
men, reach out his arm twenty
seven feet and plant the ball be-
tween the goal posts. He should
also be able to grab a IS inch shell

help arrives. If possible, a football
player should refrain from marri-

Football is played mostly by col
legians because by the time a man
is out of college he has sense enough
not to play it. An old player can
be told by the quiet way in which
he doesn't dodge street cars, auto

they hit him it is their own fault,

CAUSE FOR ALARM
Loss Of Appetite or Distress After
Eating Symptom That Should
not Be Disresarded.

Appetite is just a natural desire
for food. Loss of appetite or stom-
ach distress after eating indicate
indigestion or dyspepsia. Over eat
ing is a habit very dangerous to a
persons good general health.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimulate that does
you good. Some of the strongest,
heaviest and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will cause
more trouble than a disordered
stomach, and many people daily
contract serious maladies simply
through disregard or abuse of the
stomach.
We urge all in Monroe City who
suffer from any stomach derange-
ment, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
whether acute or chronic, to try
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with the
distinct understanding that we will
refund their money without ques-
ton or formality, if after reasonable
use of this medicine, they are not
perfectly satisfied with the results.
We recommend them to our custo-
mers every day, and have yet to
hear of any one who has not been
benefited by them. We honestly
believe them to be without equal.
They give very prompt relief aiding
to neutralize the gastric juices,
strengthen the digestive organs, to
regulate the bowels, and thus to
promote perfect nutrition. and Grad
icate all unhealthy symptoms.
We urge you to try 25c. box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which
gives IS days treatment. At the
end of that time your money will
be returned to you if you are not
satisfied. OF course, in chronic
cases length of treatment varies.
For such cases, we have two larger
sizes, which sell for 5UC. anu St.oo.
Remember. you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in this community only
at our store The Rexall Store. L.

Foot Ball.

"a ragtime essay by George Fitch
X. X. Starr
Football is an effort on the part
of forty-four shin guards to occupy
the same place at the same time,
1t is classed as a game, but looks
more like a clinic. 1t is called foot
ball, because the ball is about foot
long.
1t takes twenty-five men to play
football and somewhere near twice
that number to keep them in repair.
An automobile is durability itself
beside a football player. In our
large colleges, the football garage is
constantly filled during the fall
with football players, who have had
to 90 into the back shop for a thor
ough over-hauling. The chief OBJ
jects used in the game beside the
players, are a referees whistle, two
goal posts, a Red Cross wagon, a
barrel of splints, a loud virulent
yell, carload of flags and a few
thousand rooters with brass lined
Threats. A rooter is a baseball fan
with cold weather carbureter. He
can stand four hours in the snow
and yell without disturbing anyone
outside of his own congressional
district
The football is used in the game
to locate the disturbance. Wherever
the ball is, there is, no more peace
than there is in a love-feast with
an insurgent in it. The object of
the game is to take the balldoWn
the field to the goal over. under and
through the opposition without the
aid of axes, saws. carving knives,
battering rams or dynamite Those
who have seen a good football team
in action will realize how little
these things are needed anyway.
Football is not a peaceable game,
because of the great objection of the
team which hasn't the ball to its
progress down the field. A football
player is the greatest standpatter in
the world. If things can't 60 his
way he doesn't want them to 60 at
all. Some football players are so
INSCRIPTIONS as to fall down before
the advancing runner and twist his
ankle by getting it tangled up in
their ribs. Frequently, also, the
man with the ball will snag himself
severely on broken bone, while
going through an opponent, or will
dent his head Cd an adversary's
