The latest novelty in silk hosiery bear
ing the approval of Paris is stockings

luxury of owning several pairs.
Embroider the dots to q triangular
shape upon the instep. placing them a

A Helpful Hint.

If heavy pad is made from two OF
more thicknesses of carpet. to slip under
the knees when scrubbing the floor. this
essential of household work will be
robbed of many of its terrors. Have the
pad narrow and not long; just the size
SO the knees may rest on it comfortably
and move this along as the floor Is
washed. There will be a perceptible les
sening of aches and pains IL this simple
expedient is adopted.

CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT
OF FOX THEATRE

The present management Of the
Fox Theatre regrets that a vadue-
Vile show was billed at the theatre
this week and that the prices were
raised.
The contract with the vaudeville
people was entered into by the old
management and hence the bill had
to be put on.
Hereafter u prices will be our
regular ones of ) and 10 cents
whether or not vaudeville attrac-
tons are put on.
The past weeks performances have
not only made many of cur custom
ers dissatisfied. but have also result
ed in a nightly loss TO the manage
ment.
We ask a share of the patronage
of the amusement loving people of
Brownsville, and will assure them
that we shall do our best to please
them by giving a good clean show.
Respectfully,
J. T. Afford, Manager.

EAT MORE RIPE FRUIT.

This is the season that fresh fruits
should be eaten literally and the
value Of a fruit diet fully establish
ed. There IS an abundance of fruits
of most all kinds. Farmers are sup
piled from their own orchards and
city people may buy at reasonable
prices. The quality is excellent in
most instances and the people are
fruit hungry because the crop has
been short for several years.
Then there is another reason and
one that appeals very strongly to
most people; the fruit diet is cheap.
Meats of all kinds are high and
dairy products are bringing good
prices. Then why not eat plenty Of
fruits and save the grocery bill?
Even If YOU are a producer Of dairy
products you need not hesitate to
eat plenty Of fruit from your own
orcaard because the dairy products
be sold and much OF the fruit
can not: it is perishable and much
is sure Il be wasted. The same ar
gument may he made in favor of
meat and eating the fruit.
But the cost Of living should not
be the only reason for eating fruits
in season. Good ripe fruits are
luscious, appetizing an nourishing.
as a people eat too much meat
and not enough fruit and vegetables.
More fruits mean better health and
perhaps a longer liftHfrm and

A SUBSTITUTE FOR KISSING.

The Milwaukee physicians have
put this clustered and tortured land
under a very heavy obligation. For
they have given the people a new
subject for discussion. We can to-
day turn for a moment from the In
itiative, referendum, recall, the
third termer, etc, to the bill which
Is 10 be introduced in The next leg
islature by the Milwaukee Physi-
clans association, intended Ito stop
the practice of kissing and stamp
the habit as a blot on civilization
and a menace to health and de-
ceney." Wise reformers as they are,
he doctors do not propose to pro-
hibit, for they offer a substitute
namely, rubbing noses or fore
heads
We know of no more progressive
legislation than this. AS such we
take pleasure in commencing it to
the brotherhood of uplifters and a
ton savers Of course, there are
practical difficulties in the way, and
it may be that some education will
be required to lift the whole nation
up t the Milwaukee level. If we
are to forbid kissing we shall have
TO prescribe a penalty for violation
of the proposed law. We confess
that at the present stage of ciyiIiza-
tion it would seem somewhat
strange for a policeman to arrest
two ladies caught kissing each 9TH
er. One can imagine that the
kisses might be a mere passive
victim, a victim submitting for fear
of giving offense by resisting. But,
of course, hal would be a question
for the court. We do not consider

can o permit the officer to break
in simply on suspicion that kissing
is going on. That would be a vio-
