KISSING TO BE MORE
POPULAR AT PRATT
All Of the Men Are Taking a Cure
for the Tobacco Habit

Pratt, July 8.-The Pratt tobacco
market has fluctuated and the said
fluctuation has caused small panic
in the circles of the tobacco mer-
chants of Pratt.
Last week a gentleman from Wich-
ita dropped quietly into Pratt and
began to tell of the wonderful dis
covery he had made in a sure cure
for the tobacco habit. His talk was
convincing and he soon had a large
following. He stayed in the city to
assure his customers that his remedy
would do the work, and only left
when he had exhausted his supply
of goods and had to hurry home to
make more.
The men of the city are now clean
ing up inside as well as outside and
the falling off of the tobacco trade
is very noticeable to the merchants.
The medicine is doing the work and
the calls for 1t are increasing. Ev-
cry mail brings fresh supply. and
it is predicted by the ladies of this
city that kissing will soon be a san
itary action.
At least the fair sex is smiling at
the uncom Portable condition of the
tobacco dealers and that Pratt's to-
bacco chewers are going to clean up
is now assured.
The above is copied from the

TAKING CARE OF JEwELRY

Provide yourself with an old tooth

a box of jewelers. sawdust. You will
also need a soft cloth, a piece OF
plain chamois thoroughly impregnat-
ed with rouge powder. A few addi-
tional small bits of chamois are also
necessary for polishing. Then pro-
vide two dishes OF lukewarm suds,
made with fine white soap. and your
outfit is complete.
First work on your plain, bright
gold jewelry, or other material, which
requires a high polish. Rub gently
but thoroughly with the rouge cham

polish. Next select the gold articles.

When completed. rinse in second
suds to clean still better. Then dip

move every particle of sawdust and

brush and the plain chamois for this
purpose. The rouge chamois is the
highest polisher but It can be used
only before an article has been

Homemade Brooches.

The popularity of the side frill OF
lapel that needs a pen to hold It in
place has brought about the use or
many ornamental brooches. One OF
the newest Of these is made of gold
braid with colored beads for the cen
ter. And any girl can make such a
brooch. Disks of gold braid sewed to-
gether and centered with jewels or
beads OF desirable colorings make up
easily, All sorts of shapes are given
them and often pendants are added to
tarnished gold buttons, of Dassemen-
terie ornaments or OF beads or jew

to appreciate the advantages of the improved con
ditions of recent years and they have followed up
the advantage that prosperity has given them by
making 1t easy for young man to get title to a
tract OF his own or for the daughter of household
to have a dowry of broad acres when she marries
We can all remember how the farmer of yester-
day, even If he pretty well fixed" thought
that his son ought to be perfectly content II he
had snowy turnout in which to take his best
girl for the traditional Sunday afternoon ride
Ideals have changed rapidly in this respect and a
great light has broken in upon the wde-awake
farmers. The prosperous tiller of the soil has
come to realize that If he wishes to have his son
remain in the neghborhood he must either give
him tangible interest in the home place or else
arrange matters so that the young man can strike
out master of his own holding, even though 1t
be comparatively small one to start with.
Rural Free Delivery Of Much Benefit.
Much has been said regarding the extent to
which the rural free delivery of u s. mail has
contributed to keeping boys and girls the farm
and its influence has probably not been exagger-
ated. For all that the average young farmer
prizes the boon of receiving his daily paper on
the day which 1t is printed, it is probable
that rural free delivery has meant even more to
the young women than IL has to the young men.
The circulating rural libraries have been an
other contributor to content on the farms and so
have the rural telephones which enable the
young people to keep in close touch with one an
other and enable them to arrange social festivities
on short notice.-something that was absolutely
impossible under the old conditions when every
farmhouse more less isolated from all the
other dwellings of the country side. The advent
of the modern musical instruments has been an
other tremendous help in rendering the country
young people selfsuficient. The player piano has
done wonders but perhaps the greatest transfor-
nation has been wrought by the modern graphic
phones. monographs mad talking machines with
the facilities they AFFORD for readymade concerts
and rectas OF sacred music and accomplishments
for singing in the home and dance music for the
frolics in barn or parlor
Moving Picture Shows Enjoyed.
The latest and one ot the most potent of all the
contributors to content In rural communities Is
the moving picture. The time will come when ey-
cry farm household can have its nightly moving
picture entertainment in it's own home (enjoying
the delights Of foreign travel and the relaxation
OF funny plays) but In the meantime the instala-
ton of moving picture shows in every town and
