selves all the sumptuousness of a cen
fury ago are the fabrics used for eve
ming gowns.
On heavy silk, thin voile, chiffon OF
velvet, gold and silver threads are
woven into the brocade designs. There
are also velvet brocaded voiles and
chiffons with bit Of gold or silver
in or outlining the design. These
brocades are not stiff as of old, but
soft and pliable, draping most artisti-
cally.
Black satin, .faille and velvet hold
a strong place among eyenining gowns
These are lightened by the use of rib
bon sashes in vivid shades, as well as
by the wonderful Roman striped rib
bons and silks which are very popu-
lar. Some of the newest Of these show
the Autumn note in their combinations
of russell brown, green and dull red
with always a stripe of black. This
new color scheme is also to be seen
in the new taffetas. Taffeta, by the
way, is used a great deal in combina-
ton with serge and gabardine.
For the younger generation come
chiffon voiles with six o. eight
inch satin stripe in self color woven
on the edge. Tur'..s and flounces are
made with this stripe or the ejge
and with the plati wolfe for the rest
of the frock. These voiles come in
all the light shades so popular for
evening wear, soft blues, shell pinks,
varying shades of green and in yell
low that so closely resembles gold
that it hardly seems possible that it
is not metal cloth.
The costumes at present demand
many accessories in the way Of neck
wear, and the present tendency in
these dainty lace and organdy affairs
is toward the cape effect. Fichu ef-
fects are also to be seen and are an
attractive addition to a drak frock Of
serge, gabardine or satin. On the pop
ular dark blue frocks are to be seen
cuffs and collars in yellow crepe or
ecrue linen. One set of ecrue linen
had turnback and standing collar hem
stitched in an inch-wide hem.
Another set was of white linen with
yellow stripes about a quarter of an
inch apart. The collar was high and
uid not meet in front, while the turn
back cuffs were wide and pointed. The
edges of collar and cuffs were bound
with yellow to match the stripe in
The linen.
There has been good deal of talk
about the advent of low-heeled shoes,
but, except for the walking shoes with
rubber soles and spring, or very low
heels they have not appeared. Short
shoes are again appearing,
with high French or Vienna heels.
The Vienna heel is quite the newest

WASHINGTON, D. G., June IL.

WASHINGTON, d. G., June ~. =
Evidence of what appears 10 De u
well organized campaign to delude
'.armers throughout the country into
plying an alleged cure for hog
cholera, under the impression: thal
this has been investigated and APP
proved by the United States govern
nent, has reached the Department
Of Agriculture. Articles praising
this medicine, cBnetol by name, are
peing sent out widespread to'newspa-
pers. These articles are so Worued
that 1t appears as II the Department
OF Agriculture had received reports
from the state OF Minnesota showing
that the medicine had proved most
beneficial. AS matter OF fact the
rne report received by the depart
ntent was an unofficial. and unsolici-
ted statement sent presumably from
the promoters themselves. The de-
partment attaches no importance
whatsoever 10 this statement. 1t has
no reason to believe In the efficiency
of any proprietary cure for hog chol-
era ana does hot recommend any.
Under certain conditions 1t urges
farmers to protect their stock with
anti-hog cholera seurm but that is
all.
IN connection with this attempt
II may be said that the medicine,
which is now put forward us good
for hogs, was advertised some time
ago us means of killing tubercu-
losis, typhoid. and cancer germs, az
cording to an article, published in
the Journal Of the American Medi-
cal Association. At'that time ii was
asserted that the army was interest
ed In 1t. AS matter Of fact the
army. was no more interested then
than the Department Of Agriculture
Is now.
In view Of the evidence that the
attempt to create this false impress.
sion is persistent and widespread.
all4hog owners are warned to COM
with the United States au-
'thorities before accepting as true
any statement Chat the government
recommends any treatment other
than the serum already mentioned.

American housewives OF the, present

AS this change comes about the use

The resourceful housekeeper discov.

which she may make use of left:overs.
The force Of necessity coupled with a
little thinking accompllshes wonders
along this line.
In suggesting the use of leftover
foods 1t is understood that only such
foods as are in a wholesome and ap

This will Of course exclude any foods

that have begun to spoil.
1t is hoped that the following sug'

In the use Of leftover meats much

SAYS FREE SERVICE
IS A DISSEMINATION
Brandeis, at Rate Hearing,
Shows How Practice Is
Heavy Tax on Railroads.

Free ferry or trap-car service given TO
big shippers often exceeds in cost the
total charges collected on that particu-
lar car. according to figures cited by
Louis ID. Brandeis at che Interstate
Commerce Commission hearing on the
question Of free service begun today.
In the case of, one carload shipment
delivered by. the Michigan Central at
Toledo, he said the free service exceed
ed the freight revenues by 6f1k per
cent. Another car on the Lake Shore
road cost that road 46 per cent more
than the freight, and on one-eighth of
the cars handled free the cost Of this
service was in excess OF the freight
thereon
One large firm in Chicago had 7,T
cars handled free by the railroads last
year, and another had 4,059 cars han
died. said the attorney, who argued that
this practice was a heavy tax on the
railroads and an unjust discrimination
against the small shipper. whose facili-
ties did not permit OF such service.
IL c. Barlow. Of Chicago, was the
FIRST witness called In the hearing. He
WAS member Of the commission which
drew up the present switching regula-
tons In Chicago and his testimony re-
lated 20 the growth and requirements
Of the greatest railroad center in the
world. More than thirty attorneys,
representing a dozen railroads and a
score OF shippers were present at the
hearing, which win last three days.
