BY ANNE R1TrENHoUsE.

The new kind of skirt continues to be
q puzzle. The majority Of women find
that they do not know how to cut or to
drape 1t. This is not dressmaking les
son. and am not quite sure that could
cut one myself; the best l can do is to
emphasize the fact that the so-called
Turkish skirt is the one that women will
wear more and more as the season pro-
crosses.
Here are the main features to remem-
Der about 1t: 1t Is built with unusual
width at the waist line and at the knees
and It has the appearance Of being ex-
cessively narrow at the foot line Remem-
Der that the cleverness in cutting lies IN
the fact that one has freedom In walking
without actual widening Of the hem.
Right here lies the difficulty in draping
I asked some of the leading dressmak-
ers In Paris what their secret was IN
cutting q narrow skirt and keeping 1t
graceful. and they replied that the Amer
leans overdid all the lines and they mod
flied them. They cut q hobble skirt. SO
the French women say. In such way
ofny, and they arranged the seams Of the
skirt so awkwardly that the knees and
ankles had no freedom OF action.
There Is a good deal OF truth in this
that all the eccentricities Of dress rest
with the French; what we should really
think 10 that much of the French inspira-
ton Is eccentric through their desire for
a commercial appeal to America. but their
workmanship Is refined and full Of grace.
As a nation we have not advanced far
enough in the art of clothes to be able
to command any especial skill In draping
skirt. We cut the best womans coat
Of any nation in the world. but We often
fall short on the skirt and the bodice. We
play UP an eccentricity instead OF soften
Ing il.
One never sees, for instance. the slash
ed skirts In Paris that one sees In New
York because we attack a thing with
primitive crudity. We are too young to
know how to soften 1t, We are too young
to know how to conceal 1t. But that will
come No nation has jumped ahead in
the art Of clothes az America has, and
there is no limit to what she will do In
the future.

Grandfather Frog Jumps Into
More Trouble.

Some people are needless and run
into trouble Some people are stupid
and walk into trouble. Grandfather
Frog was both needless and stupid
and jumped into trouble. When Striped
Chipmunk told him where the spring
was it seemed to him that he couldnt
walt to reach 1t. You see Grandfather
Frog had spent all his life In the Smil-
ing Pool. where he could get drink
whenever he wanted 1t by just reaching
over the edge Of his big green lily pad.
whenever he was too warm all he had
to do was to say "Chugarum" and dive
head first into the cool water. 80 he
wasn't used to going a long time with
out water as he had had to do since he
started out to see the Great World.
Jump. jump. jump! Grandfather Frog
was going as fast as ever he could In
the direction Striped Chipmunk had
pointed out. Every three or four
jumps he would stop for just wee bit
OF rest then off he would go again.

SUGAR in the Daily Diet.

There probably have been more opin-
ions concerning the good and harm
that sugar can do to the human sys-
tenn than can be contained in dozen
good sized volumes. Many individual
oninions are based on the individual
tastes of the persons who hold them.
The sugar lover finds plausible argu-
ments in favor of sugar eating. The
nerson who does not like sugar can
argue that it is overindulged In.
Scientists seem to agree that sugar
is a valuable source Of energy and that
II should form a substantial part OF

for instance-eaten alone, sets up fer
mentation in the digestive organs and
distress ensues. 1t Is much better TO
take the allotted amount of sugar
mixed with other food. Remember that
lily of four adults should not consume
a pound Of granulated and lump sugar
In cooking on fruits and cereals and In
tea and coffee and chocolate each day.
Allowance should be made for the
sugar in the fresh fruits they eat, the
maple syrup eaten on hot cakes, honey,
molasses or any other sort of sweet
ening used In cooking, candy of all
sorts and the sugar which makes up
a big part of many foods-milk choco-
late for instance, and dried fruits. in
some of which there is so per cent Of
sugar.
sugar Is quickly assimilated. There
fore 1t Is q favorite food with those
whose work Is exhausting. Outdoor
laborers eat much sugar. 1t is said
that the hirer Of native labor in India
cannot keep his men at work unless
he gives them the large amount Of
sugar In their daily diet to which they
are used. Milk chocolate forms a val
liable part Of the diet of mountain
climbers as any one who has heard
some Of them lecture knows.
"At this point" says one famous lee
turer climber half a dozen times dur
Ing the lecture. Il stopped and ate q
cake Of Blanks milk chocolate" And
then the audience wonders how many
cakes OF chocolate she gets for saying
that. The reason for this craving for
sweets when the system Is tired or
working hard is that sugar is quickly
converted into energy and SO fatigue is
averted or overcome. Therefore, 1t is
well to remember that a small amount
OF some concentrated sweet will prob
ably do more to rest you when you are
tired than piece of bread and but
ter. It takes the system a long time
to convert starch into energy. for II
must first be converted into sugar be.
fore the system can assimilate it.
Concentrated sweets should on no ac-
count be given to small children For
that reason candy should not be given
to them. When they drink milk they
get much sugar from that Later on
get sugar from fruits and from the
simple custard ana other desserts they
eat

one insists upon small one, and can ac-
compltsh 1t. Women are already stitch
Ing down the plaits for six inches in
front and four at the sides, and this
helps immensely to keep the figure In Its
normal outline.
The narrow hem Is slashed In front, but
the ankles do not show, because the
slash Is rounded and one side Is Tapped
far over the other. The new touch Is to
put band of fur between the narrow
hem and the full top but this is the only
mark of trimming allowed.
Pockets in the Skirt.
The new feature In these peated skirts
Is a pair of pockets. The American
women have not adopted these to any
extent, but probably they will If they de-
sire to put them to any use. The French
are using them for their hands. hand
kerchief and small coin purse. The
favorite attitude now Of the smart woman
over there is to run her hand into these
pockets which are placed well toward
the front of the skirt and are completely
hidden by the wide pleats.
The American woman may take up this
attitude: II Is a bit masculine and 1t may
be received. or rather accepted. only in
the set that goes In for sports: but for
use these two deep pockets are very
worth while. With all the comfort that
a woman has learned to give herself, she
has not learned to relieve herself from
the burden of a handbag.

When you start for train you usu-
ally look up the time table first, to
see what time the train departs.
Why not prepare yourself before
you shop?
No use being too late or too early
better be JUST RIGHT.
The advertising OF merchants in
live newspapers like The Star is the
shoppers time table.
It tells you what is being offered
and what prices are.
It Is a complete index to what is
going on.
The simple expedient of making
out shopping list in advance and
booking up on what Is being offered
saves time and worry.
Press the advertising Into your
service.
Make 1t useful-that's what 1t is
there for.
Be posted on your time table be-
fore you start for your train.

DR.. Dennis Statement.
Doctors disagree. The people do
not believe any of US know anything
about typhoid germs; won't the citi-
zens of Richmond examine just one
fact prayerfully if they pray, seriously
if they do not, tOWit:
Last year "a of our people died from
typhoid fever-34 out of $4,000. On
the Canal Zone, died out of $500
that is the ratio was 212 times "a or

Now is it not evident that they do
something that is worth while? Ought
we not to appoint the best committee
we can to see what this is, and to try
it if we can?
A great city in Germany never has
typhoid: Munich. They have great
medical school there. For a genera
ton they have had to take their stu
dents on an excursion to see the dis
easel Ought we not to know what
they do to prevent the disease and do
it if we can?

II | tell what We could do to prevent
it, every man who stops to read the
article will have his own opinion on
everything | propose and out of these
several opinions we will do nothing
and go on dying Nevertheless here
goes:
If we want to stop typhoid, we must
first stop up every we'll in town, al
livery stables at factories of all sorts
whether they are used for drinking
purposes or not there is a tin cup at
every one of them and many people
use them. Unless we do this it is no
difference what else we do we will
suffer all the time from typhoid and
we will have an occasional epidemic.

or not must quit bathing in the river
this means we must have a healthful
place for bathing, near.
Third: Someone who knows must
see to it that the water furnished by

the time, and that no dairy practices

Stop up the wells. Yes. water as
well as food must be furnished to all
who can't pay for it; and those who
can pay must be required to do so.
We can't do these things? Well
then we will have to go on dying OF

We can do that.

WANTS HUSBAND
DECLARED DEAD

After her husband has been gone
from here for more than nine years,
Caroline Muhl, 315 South Eighth
street, filed a complaint today in cir
cult court asking that George E. Muhl
be declared legally dead in order that
she may make a valid deed to dispose
of real and personal property valued
at $500.
Null disappeared April 26, 1904 and
has never been heard of since. At the
time it was believed that he had met
with foul play. Mrs. Null believed
her husband dead and represented her
self as the widow instead of the wife
of Muhl. Unless Muhl returns and
presents himself to the court before
November 10th, when the complaint
is returnable. he will be dead to all
purposes of the court
