PLAN NOW FOR THE
CHRISTMAS GIFTS
TO THE LOVED ONES

A LREADY preparations are under
n way for Christmas by those who
wish to save themselves. as well as
others, the strain Of the hurry and
worry that comes each year at the
last hour. II has grown SO strenuous
In the large cities that there Is re-
volt coming. The barbarous crowding
and the merciless overwork with
which we tax ourselves, the postmen
the expressmen and, most OF all, the
shop girls, at what should be the mer.
riest time OF the year, are utterly
inconsistent. But give gifts we will
SO make up your mind to begin early
and to give simple ones.
The humble ten-cent store is i'm
mensely useful In providing the be
ginnings Of some pretty and useful
little gifts. Take to it early. Here
is pin cushion and hairpin holder
that migrated from the ten-cent store
to the clever and tasteful fingers that
fashioned them into things worth
while. For the hairpin holder is Q

Scald the Wool.

Before mending stockings with ordi-
nary darning yarn, 1t is good plan to
scald the skein or card over the spout
of kettle of boiling water. BY this
means the steam effectually shrinks
the wool and when the stocking is
sent to the wash there will be no
thought of the mended portion shrink
ing away or tearing the surrounding
part.

washes are of an alkaline nature con-
sisting of soaps, or lyes to which car
bolic acid is frequently added to give
1t an offensive odor. Many CONNER
cial washes have at various times
been put on the market, the use of
which 1t was claimed would secure
Immunity from the borer. In many
cases these proprietary washes have
been known to be harmful to the
bark of the tree, in some Instances
the injury being so great as to kill the
tree.
The safest and most effective
method. all things considered, is that
OF going over the young orchard trees
twice each season, examining each
tree carefully for the presence of
borers. When detected they should
be at once removed with a sharp
knife. The process of digging out a
first season borer is a comparatively
simple and easy process, as they are
just beneath the bark; the second
seSson, however, they begin to tunnel

Popularity Of Amber,

Amber is at the topnotch OF pop
ularity. This is significant in view
Of the fact that champagne is the pop
ular spring color in Paris for gowns,
suits, ETC., and that tan is SO well
thought of in this country.
In point of fact, however, amber
has been slowly but surely winning
public favor for a year or more. Start
ing with a mere spark, this favor has
increased to a fame. then become a
blaze and now bids fair to finally
amount to a positive confiagration.

e.

cured the substitution of President
Wilson's compromise for the Clark
amendment to tax deals in cotton fu-
lures.
The compromise standardizes nine

demand because of its use by spin
ners, and imposes nominal stamp
tax of so cents q hundred bales on
cotton market operations within such
grades.
On market operations outside of the
standardized grades tax Of one
tenth Of one cent a pound is imposed.
This tax is expected to restrict gam
bling operations.
The secretary of agriculture is to
fix the standard grades and the sec
rotary of the treasury is to make reg
ulations for the imposition and collec-
! ton of the stamp tax.
The form Of contracts to be, used
in the market operations, are set forth
and heavy penalties are fixed for their
violation.

ton exchanges, but were defeated In

on the seventeenth floor Of the
LaSalle Hotel last night.
The first session was open to gen.
tlemen; also reporters. The second
was exclusively for ladies.
At the first session the reporters
heard first hand. or first ear, every
thing that was said. They were in
the dark as to what had been &C
complished.
They didn't hear what was said at
the second meeting, but they learned
what had been accomplished. Sure,
the meeting adjourned until next
Tuesday night to meet at the Audi
forum Hotel, and men reporters will
not be allowed.
From 8 o'clock until 80 hand
full of jurors and a roomful of audi
tors sweltered. They might have
sweltered for a few hours more, but
a reporter for a morning paper told
the doorkeeper it was almost time
for him to write his story, so the
ladies fastened to adjourn the meet
ing and then tell everything that had
been done in secret.
Between the time the meeting
opened and when the reporters were
exiled to the roof garden there was
plenty of entertainment. 1t was SUI
perior to the cabaret on the roof.
Mrs. Minona S. Jones, who plays
on the team and umpires at the same
time, tried to start a discussion of
suffrage; Mrs. F. H. Greene, vice

Jones; Mrs. Lillian Holmes apologize

made against Judge Pinckney, and

was told he was out of order.
