Recognizing that national temper

view of the activity of our opponents,
and in view of the fact that they come

large, 1t behooves US to begin an era
of education to correct their false
teachings and develop in the minds of
the people a right idea as to alcohol,
Its uses and benefits"
1t is not necessary for the liquor in
terests to go to the expense of inau-
gurating any publicity scheme to
show the uses and benefits" of al
cohol. This is being done for them
free of charge by varied agencies.
The Judge of the domestic relations
court of Chicago helps to develop
this right Idea" when he shows from
his court records that 46 per cent. of
the domestic infelicities brought be-
fore him are to be credited as "bene-
fits" of the use of alcohol. The chap
lain of the Indiana state prison helps
In this ERA of education" when he vol
unteers the information that S3 per

ATTORNEY GENERAL CLAIMS
$646,452 DUE GUARANTY FUND.
From Former State Banks Which
Have Since Became Ma
tional Institutions.

Attorney General Charles West filed
in district court of Oklahoma county
suit against 112 national banks in the
state of Oklahoma in an endeavo: to
collect a total sum of $646,452.14, due
the state Of Oklahoma on assessments
made when the banks were operating
as state banks.
With the adoption of the bank guar
anty law of Oklahoma the state banks
became obligated by law to pay the
assessments levied by the banking
board upon the average daily deposits
carried. The funds raised by these
levies went toward the creation of the
bank guaranty fund.
The state banks surrendered their
charters, in most instances and took
out charters under the national bank
ing law in order to evade paying the
levy. Numerous suits were instituted
over the state by the banking depart
ment against the banks that sought
to evade paying the tax by surrender
ing their charters and Matchmaking,
and some of these suits were appealed
to the federal courts and there sus-
tanned
All of the banks sued that are do
ing active business are unquestionably
solvent and the only point at issue in
the suits is their liability for the as
sessments made while they operated
as state banks

Full length negligees are almost in
variably draped, for drapery just now
seems to be an obsession with femi-

Even the humble kimono of ordinary
cotton crepe is likely to be caught up
at the knee under a rosette Of ribbon

Clinging is surely the word for their

artful but seemingly artless drapery.
Now French negligees of allover lace
are hung over white chiffon founda-

colored tulle so that the fashionable
effect of semi-pude shoulders is
achieved without any real immodesty
whatever. French negligees also are
of fine net embroidered with chenille
flowers in pale mauve, rose or lilac.
Ribbons have a larger place on negli-

several seasons, though in most in

with this twisted-up ribbon. The sash
is of course feature of negligee wear,
just as it is of all costumes, this sea-

fabric have weighted girdles which
knot at the front or at one side of the
front and hang below the edge Of the

MAY BE CURLED AT HOME
NOT Necessary to Send Plumes to Pro-
fessionaI Cleaners When They
Become Bedraegled.

The present fashionable ostrich
feather, although It is not so tightly
curled as the old fashioned plume,
looks even more bedraggled and for
lorn when it is out Of curl than the
old one did. Yet fogs and mists or
rains are as frequent as ever and os-
trich feathers are now worn at all
times Of the day and night regardless
OF the weather Plumetis feathers
were put forward to fill the role of
feather which moisture would not
change, but they do not take the place
of the regulation ostrich feather
There is only one thing to do if
you wear ostrich feathers, and that is
to learn how to curl them. 1t is as
good as impossible to send a feather
to the professional cleaner to be
curled every time there is a summer
shower
When the moist hat with feather
trimming is removed put it, If pos
sible, near fire. Heat often restores
a good deal of the lost curl. When
this is not possible let the feather
dry thoroughly and then recurl it with
a nail file, the blunt edge Of a knife
or some other steel or silver blade
which is not sharp.
Work with one or two of. the fronds
of the feather at a time. Catch them
between the thumb and the blade near
the stem of the feather and slowly
and firmly draw the thumb and the
blade along the fronds to the edge.
If neces' airy go over some of the feath-
ers twice
1t is surprising how rapidly this
curling can be done; and if it is care
fully done after a little practice the
feather will look quite as we'll as If
it had been curled by a professional

A COMMERCIAL NATION.

Chill is a commercial nation. The for
eign trade is $4,000 900 annually, which,
for a population of $4,000, is a remark
able showing. II equals, and some years
exceeds the combined foreign trade Of
all the other west coast countries and the
countries of the Caribbean. In proportion
to population 1t exceeds any of the east
coast countries, even in their years OF
phenomenal agricultural prosperity.
The care Of a commerce so important
to her people entails a responsibility
which, as a civilized government, she
cannot neglect. In this respect she seeks
to keep in the van with the civilized gov
ernments, not excepting that of the United
States. The preparation for taking advan-
tage Of the Panama Canal. to which |
have referred in previous letters, is an
Illustration Of this. Whatever difference
OF opinion obtained i'm the beginning and
whatever the past policy may have been
in reference to the control of the canal by
the United States, to-day there is no one
who does not believe that the canal will
b. good thing for Chill and who is not
ready to support further measures for Sc
curing It's benefits, and who at the same
time does not hope that it will bring about
closer intercourse with the United States.
