Rev. II. J. Geiger is the first citi-
zen of Hickman to be vaccinated a
gainst typhoid fever. The innocula-
ton was made Friday afternoon by
DR.. II. E. Prather. and Rev. Geieer
suffered little OF no Inconvenience as
result. The innoculation Is per-
formed in a manner very much like
vpccinating against smallpox How
ever the Typho Bacterin is injected
into the arm three times, at intervals
of ten days. The typhoid bacillus, or
vaccine, contains upwards of ten mil
lions of these germs to the single
dose. Its merit as a preventative
cannot be disputed. Statistics show
that per 1000 strength there were
9s.4 cases with 1875 deaths among the
unvaccinated, against 500 cases and
3.S deaths among the vaccinated.

HOW BRIAR PIPES ARE MADE
Average Smoker Not Aware Of the
Work involved in Manufacture
Of His Pet.

Briar root pipes have been in con-
tinuous use in this country for many
years, but the general public, even the
pipe smokers, have little idea of how
they are made or of the time and at
tention necessary in their manufac-
ture.
The briar which furnishes the root
from which the pipes are made is the
shrub called the white heath, or heath
er, and is found chiefly in the south Of
Italy, on the island Of Corsica and in
Algeria. The shrub often grows to a
large size, although only the roots are
used in the pipe-making industry.
After the roots have been cleaned
of the earth which clings to them
they are sawed into blocks of various
dimensions, placed in watts and al
lowed to simmer for twelve hours,
which brings out the rich brown color
for w:Sch the finest pipes are priced.
Following this boiling process the
blocks are steam dried for two weeks
and then are sent to the factory,
where they are converted into pipes.
The blocks are sorted according to
size by experts, are placed on shelves
and kept at an even temperature for
ten days, when they are dried and
then are sent to the machines, where
the actual manufacture begins. After
the blocks have been trimmed to the
proper size, the upper part Of the
bowl is turned, then the lower part
and stem, and then they are sand.
papered. The finishing of the bowls
then takes place.

RAINY DAY SUIT FOR CHILD
Something That Every Youngster
Needs-Its Manufacture and Proper
Mode Of Preservation,

Overalls-Get pattern one size
larger than age called for; cut the pat
tern off just above the knee, and If de-
sired raise the material under the
arm, also over the back and chest.
This is not always necessary; it de-
pends upon the pattern of overall. Try
the pattern against the child, and al
low from four to six inches below the
collar.
Cape-Circular cape; length, a lit
tie shorter than length inside Of the
elbow, to give perfect freedom.
Sleeves-Plain, not full, cut by any
ordinary sleeve pattern.
Place the cape and the sleeves on
the child and where the sleeves nat
urally join the cape, pin over the
shoulder and baste. The underpart
of the sleeve is left free, and is bound
with narrow bias fold of material or
tape. Stitch the military strap on top
of the shoulder of the cape to pre-
vent the stitching showing This addds
strength and gives trim effect.
When the costume is complete, dip
in melted paraffin (Which has been
removed from the stove) in a kettle
large enough to allow the goods to be
we'll immersed. Leave in the hot So
luton for ten or fifteen minutes, allow
ing the parts equal opportunity to alb.
sorb paraffin. Lift out carefully by
the hem and allow to drip. When dry,
the garment will be sti1. Rub between
the hands to reduce stiffness and re-
move any unnecessary paraff1n, which
is apt to be too thick in heavy places
The garment may be redipped at any
time and the same paraffin may be
used again. Generally two dip3ings
annually give perfect satisfaction.

Ey HELEN DlSNAY.

As Jack crossed the office on his
way to lis desk, his eyes dwelt ten
derly on Madge's nimble fingers as
they traced what he felt sure was a
note to him. Thinking to surprise
her, he drew nearer, and suddenly the
large writing on the sheet seemed to
rise up and assail his eyes. With hurt
horror he read:
Dearest Ted
"Of course love you. Why doubt
me? AS long as / live, I'm yours"
He waited to read no further. but
fled to the stockrRem, where hidden
behind the bales and boxes, he fought
out his trouble and decided upon a
course of action.
"My little Madge, whom I trusted
with my whole SOUL" he groaned. Her
falseness seemed impossible.
Who this fellow Ted was he did not
know. 1t was enough that the girl
he loved, and who had promised to
marry him, was writing such letter
to another man.
At last he clenched his hands, and
setting his teeth, went into the private

Rrocaded Velvets,

Almost regal In their loveliness are
the new evening fabrics for the CON-
Ing winter season. And particularly
true is this Of the new brocaded vel
vets. For splendor Of coloring and
richness of designs and variety they
are unequaled.
One feature Is their lightness Of
weight-a whole gown is not cumber-
some, for the velvet is chiffon weight
and woven of very light silk.
The newest silks have a chiffon
background, filmy and delicate, from
which the raised velvet figures stand
out in richness and beauty. The cor
ais, rose colors, soft amber shades

are being much used for the more ele-

FOR SCIATIC
RHEUMATISM
Try the Treatment That Cured
Til, Pronounced Case IN
Minneapolis After Other
Treatments Failed.

sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatio

matte and is the direct result of taking
cold. For this reason the disease u
commonly known as :'sciatic rheuma-
tism." That DR.. Williams Pink Pills
cure this disease is shown by numerous
cases like that of Mrs. J. B. Hansen, Of
No. 221 Twentieth Ave., So., Minnea-
polls, MINI. She says:
"a few years ago following an attack
of the grip was taken with eciatica.
For six years suffered untold agony
and thought it would be blessing to
me if could only die. There were
sharp, shooting pains in both Of my
limbs and my shoulders and arms were
affected also but not so severely. If I
moved about quickly, the pain would
catch me SO that had to scream. Ny
limbs would swell until 1 could hardly
walk. I also had q terrible dull pain
in my back which was often unbea,-
able. was confined to bed for week
or two at time. While suffering from
the sciatica I was further rundown BY
weakness common to women of my age.
*tY received so little relief from the
doctors medicine that I became dis
couraged and quit it. My husband
urged me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills as he had read how they had cur
ed cases like mine. I felt better afterI
had taken the pills a short time but
took several boxes until wascertain I
was cured. I give this statement of my
cure thinking that other sufferers may
be helped as was through using Dr.
Williams Pink Pills."
The tonic treatment with DR.. VIII
