CLING To SEPARATE BLOUSE
Garment Has Many Points to Recon-
mend It, and Will Not Easily
Be Discarded.

1t has been a long time since the
separate white blouse was as popular
as now. Paris was making them by
the hundreds in September, and the
American houses have followed suit.
Women are possibly tired of the chit
fon and satin blouse, which must be
worn so many times without being
freshened up. Such blouses don't
wash, and few women can afford to
have them cleaned after every few
wearings, even if the materials would
stand it-which they won't.
True, there are some suits worn at
certain times that demand a blouse
of the same color, and there is no dim
mutton of this fashion; the influx of
white lingerie blouses merely swells
the tide of separate waists. The or
nate ones upon which so much hand
favor The woman who strives for a
surface covered with lace, embroidery
and various other kinds of handiwork
will find that she has wasted time and
spoiled her blouse
The acceptable ones are of batiste,
marquisette and fine muslin of any
kind, made with narrow tucks, seam
beading and band of baby Irish Gro
Chef lace down the front which sup
ports a graded frill of muslin and
lace. The sleeves are rather large,
are put in an elongated shoulder that
droops a little over the arm and is
tightened below the elbow to fit the
arm to the wrist, where it is finished
with a two-inch knife plated frill
Many of the blDuses have button
hCled scallops as a finish to the frill,
and others have an Irish picot edge
which has come into fashion for all
kinds of lingerie and is acceptable be-
cause it washes we'll and is so little
trouble to apply.

That Theodore Roosevelt will be 4

EMERGENCY METHODS IN

tic Medicine" that rectal in
lection of drachm or two OF
olive oil at bed time vii often
give satisfactory relief the fol-
lowing morning. This method
If often to be preferred to the
use of the enema, which, washes
the mucus from the lining of
the intestine ans induces an un-
natural habit requiring contin-
uance; but both must be re-
garded as emergency methods,
the aim always being to secure
regularity by natural methods,
which only can be permanent

spoonful of oil is taken morn

of prunes, figs or other sugar
fruits or with buttermik a con-
siderable portion is assimilate5

court finds that an excess of water
does not constitute adulteration un-
less it is added by = some process.

inter, will give INSCRIPTIONS butter

pose upon the public, for how are the

the water is added by a process or
not? The watering of butter may now

the great American dollar and not the
great popular demand was re-
sponsible for the victory of Roosevelt
in Pennsylvania and Oklahoma. He
estimates that in Pennsylvania alone
half million dollars we're expended
for the purpose of bu uying votes for
Roosevelt. The result then merely
resolves itself into this: The Roose-
velt supporters put more money into
the field than did the Taft men and the
biggest ''bar'l" brought victory. So
far as putting money into the cam
paign is concerned, Mr.. Mckinley
knows full we'll that the Roosevelt

Recently Lester P. Bartell, a. travel
ing man, was sentenced at Sioux
Falls, S. D., to serve FIVE years in the
Fort Leavenworth penitentiary and to
pay a fine of $4,000. The specific
charge against Bartell was mailing
an Objectionable letter to country
school teacher, but beneath this lies
story of both fendishness and
pathos. This unsophisticated young
girl, it is charged, was induced to go
to Minneapolis, where she was
drugged, outraged and deserted. AS
a consequence she is now an inmate of
the Yankton insane asylum-a raving
maniac. Under the charge upon
which this blackguard was arraigned
the court imposed the maximum
penalty provided by law, but is this
an adequate punishment for the
enormity of the actual crime? We say
no. Fiends of such 6endish, bestial
propensities should be placed where
they can have no opportunity to re-
peat their crimes-in a cell for life.

Taft is entitled to a denomination
by the republican party, and the
chances are at least even that he can
be elected president this year if any
republican can. The republican
party should play fair with Taft, win
or lose.-Cambridge Independent
Press.
The above reminds US of the re-
mark attributed to the French general
who Witnessed the fruitless charge OF

of Balaklava: "Splendid! But it is
not war;" ...-.... =.
Until six weeks ago the U nj o n
favored the denomination of President
Taft. While he has made some mis-.
takes on the whole his administration
has been reasonably satisfactory.
But we are convinced that, owing to
the bitter feeling engendered by ex-
President Roosevelt's partisans, Mr..
Taft cannot be elected, neither do we
believe that Mr.. Roosevelt can be
elected. Hence we favor the nomina-
tion of man upon whom all factions
can unite-Justice Charles E. Hughes.
We can appreciate the feelings of those
who would rather 60 down to defeat
with Taft than march to victory under
the banner of another leader. Their
loyalty is commendable, "but it is

COLONEL FRANK DAY.

Frank Day is back on his native
heath and the wheels have commenced

vertising for himself in the columns
of the Twin City dailies than all the
aggressive, receptive and dark horse
candidates for governor and president
combined have been able to get for
love or money in the past six months.
Here is a specimen brick from the
column of that versatile newspaper
man, George F. Authier, in the Min
neapolis Tribune:
~"In the soul OF Colonel Day there
is no spirit OF compromise. No dis
position to smile amiably while the
people are being robbed, right and
left. He proposes to cry stop thief
just so long as his lusty lungs are in
working order and just so long as the
ambient air, by wireless or otherwise,
will carry the noises he is disposed
and able to make. ..5
"And when it comes to the making
of noise, let it be known, the colonel
is in the champion class, with no
necessity of coming back.
''Had the colonel lived in the days
when the Kansas farmers we're ac-
customed to make noise in order to
produce rain, the colonel, had he
lived there, would have inundated the
commonwealth . g.

story of Frank in the 1908 campaign,
