The enlargement of the German
standing army is a matter in which
the allied power of Austria-Hungary
feels the deepest interest. The Aus
trian press devotes as much space to
its discussion as to its own national
affairs. 1t is not true, as a French
paper stated, that Germany's peace
footing will soon show S65, 900 men
10000 is the figure. \
The explanation OF these unusual
measures lies in the fact that Emperor
William and those ear him believe
the rise of the Balkan powers means
a further Strengthening of the Triple
Entente, since Bulgaria, Servia and
Greece gravitate toward Russia and
her two allies. and that by the fact
that the hitherto maintained European
equilibrium is being seriously dis
turbed and that complications are
bound to arise from this which may
threaten the world.
Meanwhile the aged Emperor Fran
els Joseph, although on the verge of
eighty-three, is keeping his health. But
he has to be mighty careful, avoiding
risks of every sort. He looks stronger
than he is; with rosy cheeks and near
ly straight back.
Francis Ferdinand, the heir to the
throne, has been here at the chateau
Belvedere for most Of the winter. He
is a mar who loves the army and de-
splses the navy, which he looks upon
as nonsense" from the Austrian
point of view. He is very devoted to
his "morganatic' wife, the duchess
Sophie OF Hohenberg, and to their
children.
A saying of Francis Ferdinand's boy,
a youngster of twelve or so, is in the
mouths OF oficialdom IN Vienna Just
now. His father, sensibly enough,
sends him to a public school in this
city. His schoolmates were talking
about the probability of the old EN-
peror's death in the neal future. NO"

peror will never die"

Assure These Benefits
REALLY SOUND INVESTMENT
Sanatorium Where tuberculosis May
Be Cured Is Worth Much to
Any State or City.

DR.. H. L. Barnes, superintendent Of
the Rhode Island State sanatorium,
has recently demonstrated by some in
~teresting studies of patients discharg-
ed as apparently cured from that in
stitution, that a sanatorium is a sound
investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings of ITO eX-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to $102, 1852,
and those of 211 cases in 1912 to $112,-
021. By applying the same average
earning to all ex-patients of the san
forum living in 1911 and 1912, DR..
Barnes concludes hat their income in
these two years was $551, 900. This
sun is more than three times the cost
of maintenance Of the s%anatorium in
Guiding interest at 4 per cent. on the
original investment and depreciation
charges. DR.. Barnes concludes, how
ever, while institutions for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
Institutions for the isolation of far ad-
vanced cases would be still better in
yestments."

JULIA
SHORT, BRIGHT, LITTLE COATS
Russian Blouse Reaching Almost to
the Hem of the Skirt, Is the
Latest Idea.

The long, classic jacket for tailored
Costumes has this spring become
shorter. The fronts are rounded or
cut square, and the general effect is
very smart. The Russian blouse is
suggested, but the lower portion is
plated and made to fall very long.
This is not so effective in wooden
goods as in soft stuffs such as crepe,
supple silk or mousseline. One of
Poiet's best examples of this cut is a
blouse that becomes a kind of redin-
cote, plated from the waist and fall
ing almost to the hem of the oyster
satin skirt. The redingote is in buff
m~oussenline, with bid red and green
roses.
When any of the rich, d~ark-colored
tailor suits have to be frightened this
is done by introducing flies on three
cornered ornaments, embroidered in
silk. These are put in the n or
seams or in darts. The color is gen
orally red, yellow or violet. Some of

Representative Solomon Francis
Prouty of the Seventh district of Hi
nois is the only man in the house of
representatives who chews gum, and
he chews it with a remarkable ayidi-
ty. He took the gum habit after a
conference of Iowa physicians had
warned him that he must either stop
smoking or fill a grave. They sug-
gested chewing gum as a substitute
for my Lady Nicotine.
The only time he had smoked in ten
years Vas on a hot day last summer
while out campaigning. He stopped to
talk with an old farmer who was puff
ing at a corncob pipe. The smoke got
into Representative Prouty's nose, and
as soon as he reached town he rushed
into his office, grabbed his secretary
by the arm, and almost shouted:
For goodness sake dig out that pipe
Of yours and give me a puff. Lock the
doors and keep every nan out who
looks like a doctor. I've got to smoke
or bust!"-Washington Star.

New Dressing Jacket Dainty.

An entirely transformed garment is
the dressing jacket. 1t used to be a
very u~tilitarian and generally homely
jacket, made with a deep frill of lace
at the neck and the same trimming
On the elbow sleeves. But the mod
ern dressing jacket is a daintily beau
tiful article, and serviceable as well,
for it is invariably made of some pref
ty washing material. A charming
dressing jacket is the Dresden china"
model. 1t is made of white wash silk
patterned with delicate wreaths Of
pale pink roses, and is trimmed with
blue satin ribbon. The jacket is edged
with a deep frill Of the net, and is
draped just before the frill with the
satin ribbon. A long draped and
pointed collar of pale blue silk is edg-
ed with a shorter frill of cream net,
and the elbow sleeves are finished
with net frills tied up with satin rib
bon.

Toilet liable Silver.

Quadruple-plated silver articles for
the toilet table are more than ever at
tractive, and if a witch" cloth is
kept conveniently at hand, the metal
may easily be made bright. Just d
rub owe its surface and, presto! the
dust is removed. Three-piece sets
hand glass, brush and comb-in plain
or striped design are considered ultra
smart and to go with them. although
sold separately, are pin trays and
graceful vase-shaped hatpin holders.
Because talcum and face powder, cold
cream and rouge are the better for
being kept in glass, there are jars OF
the four correct sizes in crystal pro-
vided with either fiat hinge-tops or
with detached of plated silver
matching the other toilet articles.

PARAS0LS SUIT THE HAT
Most Distinctive Feature of Those
That Will Be in General Use
This Coming Season.

Parasols are made this year TO &C.
commodate the modish small hat
which sits rakishly on the top of the
head and the big shade hat which will
not be discarded. The steep sided
parasol is hardly larger than the hat
the large parasol is meant to shade.
The little parasol of black and white
stripes is especially suitable to carry
with the street frock. Black and white
parasols ear be carried with white,
black and white or any color combina-
ton.
The big parasol with blunt tip is
suggestive of the paper sunshade of
Japan. The square, light handle and
the rose fastened smartly on the edge
of the parasol are interesting features.
This sort of sunshade will be car
ried a great deal at the seashore. 1t
gives protection, which the smaller
p%arasols do not give, to the hatless
head.

"THE CLIMATE OF
WESTERN CANADA"
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CAN.
ADA'S IMMIGRATION,

A letter dated February 2, 1913, pub.
lished in a Peoples Voice" column in
a Swedish paper, while dealing with
other conditions In Canada, such as
grain yield, social conditions, etc..
says: eve have had fine weather I'M
til New Years, when some snow fell
and it was cold for a few days, but
during the past few days we have
lovely weather again" The writer,
who lives near Davidson, Sask., says
they got from 80 to 35 bushels of wheat
per acre, 60 bushels of oats and about
20 bushels Of fax. All homesteads are
taken in the vicinity, but wild land
can be bought at reasonable figures.
Word from Alberta gives the infor-
nation that up to the 22nd of February
there were e~ighty-four and a quarter
hours Of bright sunshine, but that did
not come up to the corresponding
month Of 1912, when the m~eteorolog-
tcal department registered 120 hours
for the 20 days.
February was exceptionally fine all
through, but 1912 went n better, and
was a glorious month. However. TAX
ing the weather generally throughout
the northern hemisphere, February has
been marked by serious and severe
disturbances resulting in heavy storms,
bad weather and low temperatures in
many other parts.
The coolest temperature this week
occurred or Tuesday morning, when
the thermometer registered 23.5 below,
and the coolest Wednesday was II be-
low. During the last fortnight Of
February 9 and 81 hours of bright sun
shine spread its glorious rays over
Edmonton, and this out of a possible
total Of about ten hours is something
to talk observation-disclosures.

blue silk muslin made according to a
late model. 1t is admirable because
it will do duty for a party gown or
for dress occasions at home.
Except for the arrangement of the
draping the design follows closely
the new waistless and hipless models.
They are very new and If rather
straight up and down they suggest
the youthful figure.
1t seems the waist line is vanish

There is a tendency to the long

All the hats are youthful in design

Some walking costumes are made of

The Indian silk crepe is the most
popular and is woven in many odd de-
signs.
All cloths, whether tailor mades or
soft gowns, must positively look limp

Street Ethics in CHICAGO.

A law has been enacted in Prussia
which makes it a prison offense for
any n to fail to answer a cry for
help or to go to the rescue of a per-
son in danger when it is possible to
do so without endangering ones own
life. Such a law would not be amiss
in Chicago. Not only ethics, but or
binary decency and manliness are too
frequently forgotten here. Let a thug
assault a person in the street and the
majority of men who happen along,
instead of going to the assistance Of
the person assaulted, will scurry away
SO as not to be dragged into the affair.
Let a person be injured by a street
car half the people who witnessed the
accident will refuse to give their
names to be called upon as witnesses
by the victim.
Whether all the ethics of citizenship
can be enforced effectively through
laws and ordinances may be doubted,
yet the legal declaration Of some pri-
mary duties would help 10 develop a
conscience in such matters now appar-
emily sadly lacking.-Chicago Tribune.

B%isulphide for Ants.

Where ants infest lawns or other
equally available areas, punch holes
about a foot deep with a tick at three
or four points near the center of the
nest; pour into each about an ounce
of the bisulphide of carbon and close
the openings with the foot. The vapor
will get into and follow the galleries
and kill the ants. A second treatment
will rarely be necessary.
