Fight on Spoils System.
The political spoils system alleged
to be in effect in the management Of
Missouri eleemosynary institutions is
coming in for hard rap at the hands
OF the Republicans during the coming
session Of the legislature.
Charles M. Hay, representative Of
Galloway county in the last legisla-
ture, struck blow at the system in
the Forty-seventh general assembly.
Hays bill found but little favor in the
legislature and none at all with Gov.
Major, who was then busily cleaning
the Republicans out of the institu-
tions.
Hay proposed in his measure to Gre
ate bipartisan boards and to give no
governor chance to appoint more
than onehalf of the members Of such
boards during his term. This was to
make the boards of management inde-
pendent of the governor in the selec-
ton of employees and officers.

London.-While deprecating the

fetal reports from Russian headquar-

nous losses have been inflicted on

which has been so freely reported by
the Petrograd correspondents of
London and Paris papers.
Opposed to this is the German Of
ficial report, which says that the Rus
sian attacks have been repulsed AMI
that the German counter attacks have
been successful.
In the battle before Cracow the
Russians claim success. During the
last week they took 10000 Austrian
and German prisoners in this region.
This victory is taken in Petrograd to
mean that Cracow will not bar the
Russian advance in Silesia from The
south, but that, with the Austrian ar
my beaten, It will be necessary only
to mask the fortress.
The Russians likewise announce
success on the Austrian side Of the
Carpathians against the Turks, al
though in both regions the worst of
weather has prevailed.

BORACIC ACID IN
MANY FRESH FOODS

The presence Of boracic acid in can
ned foods is by no means conclusive evil
dence that II has been placed there BY
the Gamer. The label may omit men,
ton Of il without any violation Of the
food laws. The fact is as Is now known,
boron, like arsenic, is one of the most
widely distributed of chemicals. It is
found in apricots, cherries, and many
other fruits.
1t has been recovered from a host of
vegetables and identified in the flesh of
the rabbit, the lobster. the horse and the
OK. 1t Is in cows milk as well, and
even in the egg Of the hen There are
very few foods in which It does not
occur.
Under such conditions II is never found
in quantities sufficient to injure the con-
sumer, however. In most Instances A.
exists simply as a trace. Nevertheless
II is there, and easily to be detected in
the laboratory.
Very evidently, then, 1t is not the mere
presence Of boracic acid, but the GUAM
tity In which it exists, that determines
the source from which Il comes ana the
probable purpose for which It has been
introduced into the food. The quantita-
tive analysis Affords no light whatever
upon these questions except in the case
of the few foods in which no boron
exists
1t is the cumulative analysis alone
which can decide whether the acid Is
from the laboratory Of Nature, and en-
urely harmless, or introduced by a dis
honest manufacturer for the purpose Of
rendering unwholesome food paIatable
and slightly.

FAMOUS WOMAN BIRTHDAY AND YOURS

When history is written with perfect
realism and every man and woman Of
history is represented as he really was,
probably Louise de la Valiiere will appear
as the sanity nun. Sister Louise de Ia
Miseracrode, and not as the beautiful
young favorite Of Louis XIV, King of
France. For the dozen years she spent In
the Illicit Injuries and gayeties of the
most magnificent court the world has
probably ever known. she spent thirty
six years with her beautiful eyes cast
down In prayer, expiating in severest
pennance and incessant devotions for the
sin she had committed In yielding to the
passion of the fickle-hearted King. After
Louise had let forever the Gilded inter-

clever enough 10 bring about her mar
rage to the old monarch.
1t Is frequently said that Louise de Ia
valliere was the only woman whom LOUIS
ever really loved. For that reason her
name has gone down to history as the
one true love among many. But it seems
a little doubtful whether the King ever
gave much siIcere devotion even to the
charming La VRlliere. When the King,
then a man Of seventy-two, heard Of the
death of Sister Louise he received the
news without a tear. As II to excuse his
coldness he remarked TO q courtier that

Most American housewives have but

II just as It is in all its crudIty. Really

In France cottage cheese is made into
delicious dessert by the addition of
cream and sugar. It Is especially liked
in summer, and served with currants or

VOGUE OF RUFF.

One Of the most becoming accessories
to the costume is the run.
! For ages women have recognized the
value of wearing something soft and
fluffy about the neck to relieve the trying
line which frequently spells an otherwise
perfect toilette.
This frame of frins imparts a giriish
sweetness to the face which It Is impos-
sible to acquire in any other manner.
For this reason the run will always be
welcomed with a smile OF approval.
Each spring and fall season ushers in
a new variety Of rufus, which seem pref
tier than those Of the previous season.
The rufus of the present are more va
ried in form than ever. One of the most
popular is the Pierrot. which consists of
series OF gathered or pleated friIls in
which the chin is completely buried
The materials chosen to develop this
variety are taffeta, tuIle, chiffon and
MORE. One easily made is Of white iaf-
feta with a black picot edge. The ruff is
clasped at the side with a rosette OF dull
blue satin ribbon. This rum can be du-
plicated in any combination OF colors you
may prefer.
Another adaptation OF the Pierrot ruff
is of white tafreta and black ribbon
Two friIls of the taffeta fall over the
shoulders, while one stands up crispIy
about the neck.
The edges are finished with a picot
edge Of black. Through the center Of
the run is twisted a fold of the black
ribbon, the ends OF which are tied in a
bow ornamenting the front.
The combination of black and white is
always smart, and this run is particu-
larly appropriate for tailored suits.
Closely resembling the Bermuda lily,
which all flower lovers admire, the run
OF white taffeta is attractive enough to
win your approval
The ruff is fashioned by attaching
petal-like pieces OF taffeta to a plain
band of taffeta, which fits the neck
closely.
The petals are finished with a picot
edge and bow Of ribbon of any color
you may desire adorns the side.
Another run is OF nattier-blue MORE
ribbon eight inches wide. The upper
layer is gathered with a heading which
stands up crisply about the neck. The
lower frill extends far over the Shout
ders. and the ends are tied with stream
ers of narrower MORE a the same color.
II You can make the slightest pretense
at sewing you can fashion a ruff. They
are a-pretty addition to the summer COS
tune. and require such a short time to
complete that every woman should have
several to wear with the street costume.
