WOMEN OF PARIS
KNIT FOR TROOPS
Abandon Fashion Parade To Aid
Soldiers at Front

PARIS, Oct. i3.
In all Parisian metamorphoses brought
about by the war no greater change Is
noticeable than that which has occurred
in tho last few days in the cltys most
beautiful thorouEhfare the Avenue des
Champs Elysees While khaki has taken
the place OF silks and sattns at Maxims,
that restaurant now being patronlzed by
officers OF the Headquarters Stan Instead
of by chorus girls, and while the Mont
martre resorts have long since closed,
such changes were TO be expected when
the entire nation shouldered arms
But the change in the Champs Elysees
was slower more indefinite, subtle and
Surprising.
This street. where the fashionable set
were rivals in glorious display, contin-
ues TO be the parade ground OF the city,
But instead of a procession OF motors
containing dainty Parlstsunes wrapped
In costly turs and moving slowly. so
that the world afoot might snvy and
admire. there Is now another but swift
procession OF motor vshicles They ny
two kinds OF hags-ons tho pennant OF
the service nlilItairs, the other the Red
Cross. As the majority OF the cars
Tedutsihoued once formed a part OF that
ante-beIlun1 procession, the ensnse Is not
so noticeable.

JUSTICE SLOW
 IN RUSSIA

St. Petersburg, May 4.--The slow speed gear under wnich the Su- preme Court of the United states sometimes operates can scarcely compare in effectiveness with that attached to the wheels of justice in Russia. The Senate, which is the Supreme Court of the Empire, after deliberating on tng question for thirteen years, has just decided that a Jew named VaXmau may es- tabllsb a photograph gallery at Kholm.
 It was in 1901 that the photo- grapber, who was conducting a studio in Krasnostav, Poland, ask ed the governors permission to start a branch shop ill the neigh boring town of KhoIm. The gov erur refused, on the ground that Kholm was "an Important strate- giCal and religious center where a Jew would be out of place"
 Vaxman appealed to the Senate, and both he and the governor filed Yoluninous briefs in support ot their respective contentious, According to the belated deajsion, the gov eruor acted illegally, and a man date was issued permitting YaNman to begin business is IlhoIm at his pleasure.
 Court officials gent to serve the papers, however, have been unable to locate the photographer who long ago moved from Krasuostav Folks there do not even know whether he is alive.

F YOUR BOWELS DON'T
 lGT RIGHT READ THIS

We believe your doctor will tell you that about ninety-tlre Der cent of all human ills arc indirectly caused by uncIean and cOnstiDated bowels. You know the first question the doctor always asks is, Are your bowels regular?"
 To make and keep your bowels regular, use Rexau Orderlies. We believe they are the safest, most de- pandable, easiest to tako and most thorouhly good remedy for bowel troubles ever made. We back this belief with our honest promise that, If they do not satisfy you in every way, we will give back the money you paid for them as soon as you tell Us.
 Rexall Orderies taste like candy. Soothing and easy in actior, they do not cause gripping, nausea, purging or excessive Iooseness, as do most physics and especially salts. They tone and strengthen the nerves and muscles of the bowels, promptly re- 1 lieving constipation and helping overcome It's cause, thus relieving sick headaches, biiousness, bad breath, nervousness and other ills attendant upon inactive bowels. In vest pocket tin boxes; Toe, 25c, soc
 You can buy ReZaI Orderlies only at The Rexau Stores, and in this town only of us.--Wm. Britt druggist, Skagway, Alaska.

 PUNISHMENT

Sydney, N. s. W, May 4-Crimin- ologists in Australia are greatly iu- terested in the experiment of Judge EagIeson, of the Melbourne county court, in prescribing a novel form of punishment for men whose otfenses are due to drink. A young man who pleaded guilty to embezzlement was allowed his freedom on coudi- tion that he should make good with in two mnths the amount stolen, and should abstain from drinking intoxicants and gambling during the rest of his natural Ife.' The slightest infraction would render him liable to ten months sentence A Iabored, found guilty of assault was released under similar coudi- tlons.

THE CHURCH SUFFERS.
rnnh,,one Tiy,ea journal

The return OF autumn brings with
II the church supper as one OF the
leading institutions Of village life. On
the financial side, no one ever figured
out real profit ON this enterprise.
A dozen women put in several days
work collecting and cooking food.
The supplies are all given out OF home
stock The supper would cost IS
cents to 81 at the average hotel, where
equally good food Is given. The com
mon price charged is 90 cents.
At the same time you might not be
able to raise the same amount OF
money in any other way. The women
throw In their time free and give 80
cents 10 81 worth each of -four. sugar,
eggs and butter. Perhaps neither they
nor their husbands would give IS cents
In cash.
Financially wasteful. yet the church
supper meets q real demand. II you
undertook to support church work
by advertising lecture on the poetry
of Robert Browning or Rudyard Kip
ling. you would not get attendance
enough to pay the janitor's fee. But
people stand in line for church suppers.
They hang around for an hour, hungry
and weary, for the leavings Of second
table.
The number who flee the church
premises the moment the supper Is
eaten. suggest that social good fell
lowship Is not the primary motive In
drawing the crowd. Probably it is
the reputation of first class home
cooking that does it, Women are tired
OF eating the things from their own
Kitchens. They want to get out and
see what the other cooks are doing.
In preparing for church suppers the
cooks are on their mettle. feeling that
their regulations are at stake. To have
your pie spoken disrespectfully OF is
like making an error In front of a
crowded baseball grandstand. The SUP
