Ping up all the purchas&ble acreage
in the district" stated Mr.. Parks,
Rents have doubled and real estate
which was of practically no value
during the summer, is now in demand
at greatly increased values. In fact,
everyone is sanguine that the camp
has arrived and that all that is needed
lnow is to get to depth to open UP pay
ore of great magnitude. Many OF the
old properties, which have lain dor
mant for many years past, are now
being developed and have substantial
treasury funds with which to continue
operations for months to come. This
will result in increased payrolls and
naturally will increase business"

FOOD FACTS
What An NJ. D. Learned,

A prominent Georgia physician went
through a food experience which he
makes public.
1T was my own experience that
first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts
food and / also know, from having
prescribed 1t to convalescents and
other weak patients, that the food ia a
wonderful rebuilder and restorer OF
nerve and brain tissue, as well as mus
Gle. 1t improves the digestion and
sick patients gain very rapidly, lust
as l did in strength and weight.
Il was in such a low state that I
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains of this state.
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact, l waS not quite as well
as when l left home.
"My food did not sustain me and
it became plain that | must change.
Then 1 began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks could walk a mile
without fatigue, and in five weeks re.
turned to my home and practice, TAX
ing up hard work again. Since that
time l have felt as we'll and strong
as ] ever did in my life.
AS a physician who seeks to helm
all sufferers. l consider It a duty 10

MEXICO is STILL
WITHOUT A PRESIDENT
President Wilson Says He Does Not
Recognize Carranza as President.
Chief Doesn't Claim Honor.

WESTINGHOUSE far as the United
States is concerned, General Venu-
tsiano Carranza is not provisional pres
ident of Mexico, but first chief of
the constitutionalist army" in tempo
rary charge of the executive power of
the republic.
President Wilson himself so explain
ed the status of the Mexican executive
in discussing Mexican affairs Friday
Mr.. Wilson said that so far as he had
been informed, Carranza did not style
himself provisional president"
The significance of the presidents
explanation lies in the fact that Gen
eral Wills informed the United States
that during the conference at Torreon.
when the first Villa-Carranza break
was adjusted. an agreement was
reached for a convention of all gen
erals and representatives of the army
in the City of Mexico to designate a
provisional president.
Villa made it clear that if Carranza
were selected he could not under the
constitution be elected to succeed him
self in the general election. If Car
rama wished to enter the race Villa
insisted that he must relinquish his
present position as first chief in favor
of a provisional president acceptable
to all factions, who would conduct an
election.
That the followers of Carranza now
have accepted the program was indi-
Gated by the news that Carranza ad-
mitted not having assumed the title
of provisional president.
1t is considered likely in official cir
cles that when a provisional president
is chosen recognition will be extended.
though American forces probably will
not be Withdrawn from Vera Cruz
until after an election is held

miles from north to south. The re-

believed to be equal in numbers to the
Invaders.

Probability of Spread of
War Throughout Asia.

Washington.-Intim have como
to many European diplomats in Wash
ington that hostilities may extend not
only to Italy and the Balkans should
Turkey enter the field, but to the eau
casus, Persia. Egypt and India as well
In such an event troops and fleets in
Western Asia coming to assist En-
gland in either India or Persia would
not be surprising, according to diplo-
mats representing the allied powers.
While Japan has confined her pres
ent operations against Germany to
Kieuchau and the China seas, the spirit
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, it was
said, might lead her to extend help
ing hand to her ally elsewhere in Asia.
Turk Ambassador Holds to Neutrality
A. Rustem Bey, Turkish ambassador
at Washington, made public a cable
gram from his government which he
interpreted as conclusive evidence"
of the porte's intention to remain neu.
trail, but his views were not shared by
diplomats representing the allies. The
latter are confident that Turkey is
merely delaying an announcement
while completing military prepare.
tions The Turkish ambassador
cablegram was as follows:
"By virtue of the neutrality we have
declared the military authorities have
received orders to insure the safety
of merchant vessels of the belligerent
nations taking refuge in our ports"
There is no danger to Americans
and there need be no fear on that sub
ject," said the secretary afterward.
The ambassador later admitted that
If Turkey entered the conflict on the
side of Germany and Austria, she
would make her operations as exten.
sive as possible in British and Russian
possessions. He thought it not un
likely in such event that Egypt might
be invaded. He felt certain Bulgaria
would stand by Turkey, but said he
DID not know about Roumania. Greece
has her army modified, ready to strike
at Turkey.
Japan May Be Preparing to Move.
While Turkey is delaying action, the
allies are surveying the field, it is be
lieved, looking forward to Joining op
erations with Japan in the Persian
gulf, while the Mediterranean fleets oil
the allies direct their attention to
Turkish ports on the western coast OF
Asia Minor.
Hint at Anglo-Japanese confab.
The situation, it is believed, already
has caused Japan to consult Great
Britain as to possible assistance In
quarters other than the China seas.

This plume is mounted on the I'M
derbrim, and its full, broad end, or
head" falls across the hair and back
brim.
The beautiful picture hat, having a
wreath of ostrich tips about its brim,
with ends curling upward toward the
crown, is finished with a half plume
on the bandeau and underbrim at the
left. To add any further trimming to
this model would be as foolish as
adjoining the lily or painting the rose.
A wide-brimmed hat, in which a
single magnificent plume is mounted
on the crown at the right side, is most
original and daring In its use of os-
trich. The end of the plume is cut
off at the beginning of the flues. The
plume is laid upon the crown and
sewed down in two places. II is left
free to curl and curve at its own sweet
and graceful will. A narrow band Of
handsome MORE ribbon, tied in the
simplest of bows at the left side, fin
ishes the hat. In this model the body
of the hat amounts to simply a set
ting for the plume, which is featured
by the manner in which II is placed
Ostrich plumes and tips in fine quail
ity make a good investment because
no matter what the vagaries of fash
ion they are never "out"

TIE most prominent feature I'm all au-
4 thoritative displays of new styles in
gowns is the basque. 1t is shown in
several developments, including mod
els which hang straight from the
shoulder to tie swell of the hips. But
this model is not as graceful as those
which follow the outline of the figure.
None of them Is tight fitting. They
fasten either in front or the back.
A gown designed by one of the fore
most French cOstumers is shown in
the picture given here. 1t Is an excel
lent combination OF the new basque
and plated skirt in a one-piece gar
ment. Where the basque and skirt
join, a narrow girdle of the material
of the dress is sewed down and fin
lshed with a small bow at The back.
Fancy buttons are set on. but In real
lty the basque is fastened with hooks
and eyes.
The front of the garment is cut like
the back, in ''V' shape at the neck.
This gives opportunity for the intro
duction of white next to the face. A

NOTHING is so noticeable in the
~ most elegant millinery prepared
for the fall season as ostrich feathers.
Short, broad plumes and tips lead in
popularity. After them ostrich feath-
ers developed in fancy forms have
demonstrated the ingenuity of manu-
facturers In copying flower forms and
in originating all sorts of new deco
rations. This fancy ostrich is to take
the place of prohibited aigrettes, much
to the satisfaction of all right-thinking
people. America having taken the in
itiative in doing away with the al
grette, French and other designers
have replaced it with ostrich and other
fancy feathers quite as airy and beau
tiful.
Many of the new shapes are wide
brimmed, and wide brims always mean
long and short plumes. Three hats
are shown here in which the use of os-
trich plumes in the best of mouhtings
may be studied. 1t will be seen that
one may use single plume of medium
length, or two long plumes, or many
short ones, with equally artistic effect.
But for some time the simplest forms
Of trimming have characterized the
work Of the greatest designers, and a
single plume Of finest quality mounted
on a velvet hat leaves nothing to be
desired in the way of art and elegance.
The black velvet hat (shown in the
picture) having a narrow brim at the
right side, which widens and lifts to
the left, is decorated with a single
white plume.

GRAND DUKE NICOLAS

Russian official announcements de-
scribe a strong offensive movement
against the Austrians on Sept. 4. The
Forty-fifth regiment of Austrian infan-
try surrendered, 1000 men being
taken. German troops marching to
the aid of the Austrians were attack
ed, but the result of these operations
has not been made known.
A German official statement says
the allied troops are in retreat be-
tween Paris and Verdun and that the
German troops are pursuing them. 1t
adds that in the eastern theater of
the war the Austrian attack on Lub-
lin continues, and that the Austrians
are engaged in dispensing the Rus
SLAMS.
Late advices say train service be-
tween Paris and Dieppe has been sus-
pended.
Once more the Germans and the al
grappled in the great battle which has
been fought with only two brief inter
missions since Aug. 10, says a London
report. The tide has turned, for q
time at least, and, according to an Of
fetal bulletin from Paris, the Ger
mans on Sunday evening were COM
PEELED to retreat.
The battle line stretched in a rough
crescent east of Paris from Nanteuil-
le-Haudouin to Verdun. The front was
more than a hundred miles long, with
the French on the outer edge of the
crescent and the Germans occupying
the interior line. 1t was a general &C
ton and the British troops wero in
the battle with the French.
Brief and indefinite though the an
nouncement, it has kindled high hopes
in Great Britain that the German
steam roller has struck an impossible
barrier
The London official bureau says:
General Joffre's plans are being
steadily carried out. The allied forces,
acting on the offensive, have been sue
cessful in checking and forcing back
in a northeast direction the German
forces opposed to them"
The official Russian statement con-
corning the capture of Lemburg, capt.
tai of Galicia, says that it is believed
the remnant of the Austrian army
which was left after the Russian at
tack no longer is of military value.
Besides the thousands of men killed,
wounded or made prisoners, the Rus
SLAMS report that they took 200 guns
from the Austrians.
Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian
commander in chief, has ordered the
captured territory in Austria Hungary
administered by the Russian general
in command in that country.
The Bulgarian minister to Greece
declares that Bulgaria has decided to
maintain her neutrality until the end
of the war
A German aeroplane, which tried to
approach Paris Friday, is reported to
have been smashed by the guns Of
two French aviators in an aerial bat
tie.
AS the lines around Paris tighten
and the German forces draw closer to
the French capital, the official state
ments regarding the progress of the
war grow briefer and more and more
lacking in details.

Decisions as to Contracts.

Discussing the decision of the Fed
eral Supreme court that vow of pow
erty taken by a member of a religious
order is binding. even if it include
turning over all his possessions to
the order. Law Notes remarks that in
Father Wirth's case there was not only
the consideration that he would be
supported by the monastery, but the
vow of poverty was of a religious ma
ture. 1t quotes another decision of the
supreme court to the elect that con-
tracts are not lightly to be stricken
