EASY TO DEAL WITH YOKES
Are Sure to Shrink, but the Remedy
May Be Quickly Found and
as Quickly Applied.

Few of us have escaped the horror OF
finding, after our summer frocks or
guimpes have been returned from the
laundry for the first time, that the
yoke has shrunk and the collar is
entirely too tight for comfort. 1t is
the experience of almost every wom-
an before the season of thin, cool
frocks is over, and one that few
know how to remedy.
Should the yoke Of your frock re-
Quire to be enlarged, add the width
at the center of the back and the
shape of the yoke will not be spoiled.
This can be done either by letting
out the hem in the back and facing
the raw edges or by inserting mar
row lace insertion on the inside OF
the hem each side of the opening.
The fact that almost every lace
or embroidery yoke opens in the back
make this a simple task, and as 81
yoke rarely requires more than an
inch of additional width, simplifes
the matter greatly.
Don't despair If you are confront
ed with a too tight yoke; make it.
comfortably large in this manner.

Children Are Helpless From an IN
usual Disease-Doctors Call 1t
Frederick s. Ataxia.

Lynchburg, Va-With the death
and burial a day or SO ago of c. c.
Mitchell, in Bedford county, is
wholesale case of affliction. He is
survived by HIS wife and five chill
dren. All of these children, who
range in age from about IL to over
90 years, are afflicted in the most I'M
usual and remarkable manner with
disease known as Frederick's ataxia,
which renders them almost helpless,
without power to perform any service
for themselves, unable to speak In
diligently, yet they are not without
intelligence With the intuition of
mothers devotion she has trained
their memories in a remarkable de-
gree, teaching them to repeat in jar
gon that she alone can understand,
hymns, selections from the Bible and
simple poems.
Mitchell and his wife were very
poor and some years since the small
farm they had bought, but upon
which they had not been able to make
the payments, had to be sold. The
case seemed so unutterably pitiable
that through the newspapers the
story was told and help asked. To
the appeal there was quick and gen.
erous response from many parts OF
the United States and even from Cen
trail America. Funds sufficient were
thus secured to make full payment
for the farm. With debt removed
Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell made a COM
Portable support from the farm for
themselves and their helpless brood
of children.
Cases of this disease are very
rare and attract much interest among
medical men One of the children
was sent when quite young to the
Johns Hopkins hospital, of Baltimore,
for EXAMINATION and the case was
pronounced hopeless of any ameliora-
ton. One of the girls, who seemed
less helpless than the others, was
sent to Richmond to DR.. Allison
Hodges and he exhibited her before

SEEKS HER HUSBAND AT 100
KIttitas squaw Dresses In Finery to
Woo Back Deserving Spouse
Met Him 80 Years Ago.

Spokane, Wash.-A tale of the 10y
atty of an Indian squaw comes from
Ellenburg, where "Old Julia" Hansen,
as the whites know her, has donned
her fnery at 100 and is endeavoring
to WOO back the husband who has
deserted her. She has attracted much
attention on the streets as day by day
she has sought the runaway. He has
not returned to her yet, but she be-
lieves that his old love will be re-
awakened in time.
Julia is the last of the chieftain-
esses of the Sockley tribe of Kitti-
tas Indians. She and her sisters
have been we'll known to the white
settlers since the region was first
invaded. The three of them once
owned more than 1000 horses and
much land, but the property was
largely dissipated by the husbands,
who were unable to withstand white
temptations. These derelictions,
however, did not shake the loyalty
Of the squaws. Old Nancy, another of
the sisters, for years led her blind
husband about with every evidence of
devotion, so that they become known
as the Darby and Joan of Kittitas
Valley.
Julia met her husband more than
eighty years ago at one of the great
councils Of the Kittitas tribe.

FIRES ON RUSSIAN STEPPES
Dreadful CONGREGATIONS That Sweep
the Plains, Driving Peasants to
Seek Refuge in Water.

Midsummer in Russia has been
ushered in by great epidemic of
fires on the steppes.
The intense dryness of the season
has spread these fires over a huge
area One of the most dreadful fires
that the Russian steppes have ever
seen ragged a few days ago in the
province of Turgal, on the other side
of the Ural mountains, and to the
northeast of the Caspian. On these
steppes vast seas of grass stretch to
the horizon, raised only by shrubs or
the wild cherry and dwarf almond
on the hillsides or by clumps of worm
wood when the soil is clayey. Herds
of cattle and horses Craze on the
plains.
It was early in the morning when
mighty clouds of smoke suddenly rose
up from the steppe, sure sign to the
Inhabitants that a fire was in prog
ress. So appalling was the speed
with which the fire rolled over the
dry and yellow grass that the peas
ants had quickly to concert measures
for saving just their own lives from
destruction Feverish activity pre-
vailed in an the villages until the
tongues of fame which came on near
ear and nearer with uncanny swiftness
appeared on the horizon.
Swept forward by the rushing wind
sparks from the confiagration kindled
in advance another fire, which in a
short time enveloped 10000 acres OF
grazing ground. Swifter and swift
er before the wind dashed on the
wall of fiery waves. Enormous pill
lars of fame shot up into the air.
The suction was so strong that slabs
of turf and burning branches were
hurled up into the air and thrown far
away.
Men and cattle were hard put to
it to save themselves. Their least
danger was of being scorched by the
fiery breath which swept on ahead of
the furnace Women and children
who sank helpless to the ground were
dragged along by the other villagers,
for only hasty flight was now of any
avail But even this would not have
saved them had not a lake lain in
their path, into which they all rushed,
wading in as far as they could with
out drowning.
Imagine, then, hundreds of persons
standing in the waters up to their
shoulders, while all round them
masses of fame ran along the banks
and sent out Pickering tongues over
the water in their direction, baffled
in their thirst for victims
Some of the inhabitants of the vii
lagos on the steppes directly they
saw the fire advancing set to work
to burn large areas, and on these
GASES they collected all their cattle
and household goods. At last heavy
shower came and extinguished the
prairie fire Many persisted in the
flames or were stified by the smoke,
fire in one village, three in another
and so on. Besides this there was
great destruction of live stock, large
and small

EASY TO ~sAvE THE WASH"
Crepe Underwear, Recently Intro
duced, Is Effective for Economy
in a Number of Ways.

Save the wash this week" often
remarks the busy housewife and
mother, and as the summer advances
her remarks will continue. My!
What an enormous wash we have
this week" or 1--WE must try to be
little more economical with our
wash" Perhaps she will bemoan the
fact that she will have to get in
laundress, or if she has, have her
come an extra day. If she does the
wash herself, her poor, tired limbs
and aching back remind her on Mon
day nights that summer is here and
the family are not Saving the wash.
1t is not very easy when the really
hot weather sets in, to be economi-
cal and sparing with our, supply OF
clean clothes, and it is often quite
a problem to solve how we can keep
fresh and clean, and yet keep within
the bounds of our wash money"
The new crepe underwear comes as
a boon at this season of the year,
as it is nothing whatsoever to laun-
der-simply washed out-no starch is
necessary-and what is best of all,
no ironing required. Night gowns
petticoats and combinations Of all va
rieties are in the shops, and ranging
in price from the plainest and very
inexpensive to the deliberately
trimmed and most expensive. Saw
ing the wash becomes somewhat
simplified when we make use OF
these garments for summer.

COVER THE SUIT CASE
NEAT AND SERVICEABLE MATE
RIAL EASILY PROCURED.
Looks Well and Furnishes Protection
for the Light Straw That Con-
stitutes the Best Kind of
Summer "Grip."

The light, attractive straw suit case
has one drawback; it soils quickly and
Is not easily cleaned. 1t is therefore
a good plan, on buying new one, to
procure suitable material and make
cover that can be slipped over the
case when it is In use, and easily re-
moved for washing.
Heavy brown linen, denim, crash or
burIap serve the purpose very well.
The cover should be cut in three
pieces, one piece for each side, and a
strip to go round lengthwise, from one
end of the handle to the other. The
edges are bound with braid, tape or
other material of a suitable shade.
Straps of the same goods as the cover,
one on each side of the handle. on top,

SEWING Hint.

In order to keep spools Of cotton
and silk always handy have the
drawers of your sewing machine TT
ted with thin boards through which
are driven wire nails placed two
inches apart. Place these in the
drawers with the points of the nails
upward and on each nail slip spool
of thread.
One row holds black thread and
silk, and cotton that have been used
in the making of frocks, or those that,
will be likely to be used in the ordi-
nary sewing for the family.
