sage had fchu of creamy net and an over one of beige silk trimmed with nounces like those on the skirt only little narrower
 Another new gown shows a funny little tailor made a cream canvas with one rever of bright patterned toile de Jouy.
 The sweetest party frocks of sprigged muslin with wreaths of roses and a folded pink silk sash are also to be seen.
 A complete contrast is a lovely pale blue satin dress yelled with a three decker tundc in different kinds of nacre lace and hanging sash of beads
 These hanging sashes of beads, by the way, are most fascinating. There are also some silk cord sashes made in the same way; one En- violet plaited silk. Four rows formed the waist belt and from the fastening point fell a dozen long rows caught into a bar at the bottom and fringed. . Others are in silver, in beads and cords of different coIors, and as a f1n- Eshing touch to a dress they are ex- tremely pretty and desirable
 Several of the afternoon dresses are made with striped velvet tunics. A violet underdress should have a tunic of black velvet striped finely with vel vet, ond striped gown should have plain chiffon tunfc.
 The obvious tendency in the very newest models toward a rounded waistEne makes one feel sure that by the end of the winter the I;a:t1 nigh waisted dress will be Altogether out of date; but it will take longer than that to bring back the really full skirt. even If It ever arrives at great popu- 1arity.
 Another pretty gown is tn bIue-green chiffon stamped with velvet flowers and trimmed with narrow bands of chinchilla, and there is a very simple, smart one in black charmeuse worked with threads of gold and sapphire blue.

HOW TO KEEP WELL
 AND REMAIN YOUNG

Lately the Board of Trade of New York city adopted the resolution which follows: Health and the protection of life are more precious to the people and more necessary to their happiness than the extension of our commerce, the fostering of our agricultural interests, the solving of our financial problems, the efficiency of our postal service, the improvement of our rivers and har- bors or the enlargement of our navy And Holy Writ has said; stAn that a man, hath will he given for his life.
 The Home Health Club, established by Dr. David F. Reeder, 13 years ago. was organized for the purpose of con serving health by advice given through the public prints. He teaches in plain and every day language, How to get well, how to keep weIl.s and how to remain young'' The movement has met with immense success
 The Farmer has always sought for the best and most practical methods of supplying to it's readers information that would be of the greatest interest and value Hence, arrangements have been made for the Home Health Club lectures to appear regularly in these columns.

Building A Credit To
 City Of Bridgeport:

A semi-pub1ie> corporation like ours, catering to all classes and furnishing necessity for
 the comfort of life, comes closer to the gen. eral public than ordinary private commercial enterprises We have, therefore, set aside Wed nesday afternoon and evening, from to 9 O. clock that the public at large may, and ,chope they will, visit our new home, it and see the advancement electricity, has made, not only in the Illuminating field, but in that broad field of home -conveniences which depend ent upon artificial heat. In this new building have studied our future needs as well the present. The building compares favorably with any of it's kind in the country, and we sa believe is a. credit to the city of Bridgeport.

FRIENDSHIP FOR LABOR
WILL GET TAFT VOTES
OF WORKERS--H

President Taft made the exclusion of
japanese labor as certain as the excIu-
sion of the Chinese labor, but it has ac-
complished that and so automatically
that none of the friendship of Japan
has been lost. One the contrary, it has
so increa sed the friendly relations that
in the first nine months after the treaty
with Japan went into effect Japan
bought from the United States almost
twice as much as she had bought in the
entire previous year. And, roughly
speaking, half of all she paid to this
country went for the, labor in the things
she bought
And in all it's relations with foreign
countries the administration has sought
to promote the demand for American
goods. This has been somewhat con-
temptuousIy called dollar diplomacy"
But do you know what that means?
Dollar diplomacy" means more dollars
to be distributed as wages among
American WorSmen Is that subject
for contempt? 1t was this dollar di
plomacy" which procured from Argen-
tina an order for two large battleships,
to be built, of course. with American
labor. 1t has meant the procuring of
orders for American goods during the
Taft administration amounting to not
less than $1OO,OO0,OOO And of that
500, 0O0.O 900 approximately half has gone
for material and the other half has
gone, or will go, for labor
Squeezing Out Water Helps Labor.
And. finally, the enforcement of the
anti-t trust law has checked over-ca pi-
talization. Every time a trust was or
ganized there was an addition of an
immense amount of water to its cap
ital stock-that is, purely fictitious
value Then, when the workmen de-
manded increased wages, it was pointed
out to them that the company could not
pay any more for their labor because
it could not now pay reasonable divi-
dends on it's stock. OF course it could
not because a small dividend on it's
nominal stock would have meant an i'm
mense profit on the money actually in
vested. But with the dissolution of the
trusts the water is being squeezed out
of them, and when they are obliged to
bid against each other for labor, they
not only can, but will have to pay' just
wages for the labor they employ.
We hear a good deal these daysiabout
the "pernicious activity of the depart
ment of justice" Do you think that
men who work for their living will
regard that sort Of activity 'perni-
cious ?" Wall Street regards it PERM
cious, OF course. The Harvester trust
and the Steel trust and the Beef trust
regard it as "pernicious" to the last de-
gree, a gross interference of what some
one-I think it was one of the members
Of the Anthracite Coal trust--called
the divine right of ownership"
The persistence with which the de-
partment of justice has enforced the
safety appliance act has been regarded
as "pernicious activity" by a certain
class of railway directors and trust
magnates But do you imagine for one
moment that the American workman,
with his intelligence, is going to re-
gard such activity as pernicious, or
even that he will fail to appreciate the
work which has been done in his be-
half and to approve 1t with his vote on
next election day?"

to escape, and threw himself under a
pa ssing electric car, and a few minutes
after that attempted to strangle himself
with a handkerchief. Snipes tried Mon
