LETTING THE WIFE KNOW.

1t is diff-cult for some men to
see that it makes it much easier
for a wife, in her domestic arrange
nents v it'll the cook and behind the
scenes, if her husband sends her
word before the arrival of a guest
that he intends bringing home for
dinner or over night, ventures the
Ladies' Home Journal. OF course,
n any well regulated family the
latchstring always hangs out, as the
saying goes, and an extra plate IS
easily laid for the unexpected guest.
But does a man in his business like
to get an order that he cannot fill?
Does he like to say he hasn't it in
stock? Does he care to be caught
shorthanded? Neither does a good
housekeeper nor good cook. In
households where there are money
and food to throw away the case
is different. But in most homes,
where every penny-or every potato
counts, il IS only fair for the Of
flee side to the let the distaff side
know beforehand. 1t is the right Of
the wife to know.

Wear a Rose
AT the Throat

A rose at the throat is welcome
street sight these winter days, says
a New York paper, but these eXotics
are not worn solely as an ornament.
n fact the fashion was launched
FOR the very sensible purpose OF
protecting the throat which at pres
mt is too much exposed for com
fort and not infrequently for beau,
ty. As the fabric rose-it is invar
iably in satin or silk-must be at
famed to someth ng it is kept in
place by means of velvet ribbon
band broad enough to take the
1lace of the high stock collar of a
.ew years ago,
The rose at the throa; should not
be oyer-large although i. may be eth
er half or full blown and of any
natural color 1t is sometimes
aOru without foliage but it looks
better if supplemented by one Or
two small leaves in dark green
Tx. and it should be of a hue to
harmonic with the velvet neckband,
which, in turn, should accord with
ther the hat or its trimmings.
The girl who wears a rose at her
throat nearly always wears second
rose. Not necessarily a twin in size,
since it may be fastened near the
beltline, on the coats lapel or among
The trimmings on the hat. The
main care is that these roses shall
always look fresh. To wear a shah
by fabric rose is in as bad taste as
to pin on a dscolored horticultural
flower

Makes Statement

Hinckley's dairy has asked The
Citizen to make public a statement
denying the charges made by the
health officer that the dairy is un-
clearly. In part the statement is as
follows:
LAS to the ventilation, there are
two ventilators in the stable. The
doctor could not see any There is
drainage in the stable, and dipping
out, as TIE doctor said, is not neces-
sary.
"The doctor says we feed brewers
malt and very little grain. We do

eminent reports. but that Is not all,
as some Of the Fairbanks merchants
can testify We have receipts for
over $1,000 paid out for sack feed

Applications For
Coal Lands Denied

Applications for patents to coal
lands in the Nenana district that
were filed by John Long, w. S.
Clark and Mrs H. c. Hamilton have
been rejected by the department of
interior on the ground that the ap-
plicants had not done sufficient de-
velopment work Information regard
ing the rejection of the applications
has been received by Attorney Guy
B. Erwin.
The claims were located in 1906,
and applications for patents were
made in 1911. The coal on the
claims was on the surface, and it
was not deemed by the applicants
necessary to do development work.
1t is understood that applica-
ton will be made for rehearing.
Mrs. Guy B. Erwin also located
coal claim there, but considerable
development work has been done
on her claim AS the department
has not acted upon her application,
she is still quite hopeful that it
will be granted,

Only one thing is in the way OF
the success OF the celebration, and
that is the slowness with which some

the funds will be forthcoming.

Little Jamie Sayers, five years of
age, of this city. was made happy
few days ago by the announce

something he had often expressed a
desire for, and following the news
of the arrival of the baby. friends

he would get white brother. and
he intimated that he feared there

The only explanation that has

FOUL TACTICS AT SOCCER
Old Players Score Work of
Duffy and Waters, of Celtics.

Sporting Editor. Inc tribune.
Sir: Permit me space in your valuable
papcr 10 say few words in regard TO
the soccer cup tie between the Yonkers
r. c. and the New York Celtics, at Lenox
oval. last Sunday.
AS an old football player. never in all
my experience have ] seen such foul and
brutal tactics as were used by two of the
Aeltics' players. namely, Duffy and Cap
cain Waters and the sooner an example
IS made of them the better it will be for
the sport. which is fast becoming popular.
such exhibitions as theirs will prove a
great detrment TO the game if allowed TO
continue.
Duffy. although repeatedly warned by
the referee. continued using his foul tao
Ties. and twice accomplished what he
had in his mind TO do-disable any 'Yonk-
crs players he came in contact with; and
when eventually sent of the field, at
tempted TO strike the referee before leav-
INK. But the climax was reached wheh
captain Waters. instead OF showing an
example to his remaining players, started
in with the same foul tactics, and disabled
Yonkers player. and the game was called.
Nothing less than suspension indefinitely
from all competitions should be gwen
them. In this. / am sure. | am voicing
the sentiments OF all fair minded devotees
of the game. and sincerely hope the va
