SAFETY IN BLACK AND WHITE
Matter of Coiors May Be Eliminated
From the Minds Of women While
Fashion Lasts.

Surely q woman does not have to
worry much about colors this winter.
II is sheer waste of time to look in
the mirror with the sunlight and the
electric light at different times to see
whether a piece of purple or green or
blue or brcsrn. placed under the chin.

the urn of fashion Is now given over
to the two sharply contrasting colors.
You must not wear all white, and
you must not wear all black. but you
must juggle with the two until your
skill draws applause. You may think
the wearing of black and white is
monotonous; that it lacks variety; but

BRIGHT COLORS IN AFTERNOON
Ones Own Drawing Room Is the
Place for Display, but Hues
Must Harmonize.

The woman who dislikes display out
of doors, in her own drawing room
often wears the brightest colors. This
gives her a chance to lay aside the
sober yet attractive tailor made suit.
Dresses are worn to harmonic or
contrast with the colorings with which
the room is decorated. Red looks we'll
where the colorings are the claret
shades and brown. Green In the soft,
dull tones blends equally as we'll.
An afternoon gown OF geranium pink
is effective where the surrounding col
orings are of purplish hues. Bright
sapphire blue harmonizes with almost
any color.
4 striking combination which looks
we'll for afternoon wear Is red and
purple In fuchsia shades.
Emerald green is much worn, some
times combined with black. Gold lace
and nets of all varieties make effective
trimming for this color.
Any odd attractive color, no matter
how vivid, may be used for the after
noon dress.

COST OF GRAIN
GROWING IN
CENTRAL CANADA

A careful canvass made OF a num-
Der Of men farming in a large way
indicates that even with the extreme
expense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 90 cents bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 13
cents per bushel. This would make
the cost of production and freight 6S
cents and would leave the farmer an
actual margin on his low-grade wheat
of 171z cents and for his high-grade
wheet Of 1914 cents; and though this
is not as large a profit as the farmer
has every right TO expect, it is profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount Of money to
his credit when all the expenses OF
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level. A mat
ter Of Importance TO the prospective
settler is that of the cost OF produc-
ton. The following table has been
prepared after careful investigation:

The Nashville American seconded
the warning against apathy and conf
dence in providence on the part of
southerners which the Richmond
Courier lately expressed in a strong
editorial. From the beginning of the
war to the present time the constant
cry Of the people of the south has
been, God and the British are on our
side That cry has seemed to satisfy
too many Of those whose lives and all
have been at stake that We would
triumph without proper energy Of our
own. The first news that is looked
for in the morning paper is The lat
est foreign intelligence, We put
our trust in God and the British.
The disaster at Fishing Creek and
the equally fatal result at Fort Henry
may begin to open our eyes to the
fact that God and the British will not
help US until we learn to help our
selves. This defeat may also serve
20 teach us that which every great
general has found out before he has
fought many battles, that individual
bravery is valueless against organized
drill and discipline.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Veto of the
wool bill, was emphatically expressed
by President Taft in a special massage
to Congress to-day, appealing % the
legislators that they do not adjourn
without taking advantage CT the
plain opportunity. substantially to re-
duce duties" by framing a protect
bill along the lines recommended by
the tariff board.
That the La Toilette bill was not
drafted from the boards recommenia-
tions and would result in irtstwsv-
able injury to the wool growing in
dustry, the enforced idleness of much
of our woolcombing and spinning ma
chinery and of thousands of looms and
the consequent throwing out OF en-
ployment of thousands OF workmen,"
was asserted by the President as the
specific reason why he refused to ap-
prove the measure.
my position is perfectly plain"
the President declared. Il shall stand
by my pledges to maintain degree or
protection necessary to offset the diff
ference in cost of production here and
abroad, and will heartily approve Of
any bill reducing duties to this level -
His veto of an exactly similar wool
bill last summer the President said;
Had been completely justified" by the
tariff board.
The minimum ad valorem duty of 20
per cent. on raw wool in the bill was
inadequate for protection, the Presi-
dent asserted. II should be at least
35 per cent, according to the tariff
board.
The average Of from % to "a per
cent. duty on cloths of all kinds. he
said, was also insufficient.
Impossible Of justification was the
Presidents comment on the duties on
tops and yarns when taken in connec-
tion with the raw wool and cloth
duties.
I'm view of these facts, in view II
the platform upon which I was elected
in view of my promise to follor ard
maintain the protective policy, nc
course is open to me but to withhola
my approval from this bill" the mes.
