DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR
Thursday, October 15.

Ostend is now the center of interest in the contest being waged in the western theater of war. Reports in dicate there is virtually no obstacle in the way of the German advance on Ostend and other ports in northwest Belgium. Scores of wounded soldiers are being brought into Ostend from Ghent. It is reported that the allies and the Germans engaged in a serious battle near Ghent Monday. It is said that the German forces were far su- perior in numbers, and that the allies were obliged to withdraw toward the west. This removed the stumbling block of German progress toward Os- tend A state of panic exists among the inhabitants of Ostend, for the Germans are known to have a large force within 20 miles of the city. As fast as ships can be provided, the residents are fleeing to England, es- cape by land having been cut off on all sides.
 The extreme right wing of the main German army has been forced to fall back before an assault by the allies and reports indicate that the invaders will encounter strong opposition in at tempting to extend their right wing to the northern French ports. Only recently the German cavalry had pro- gressed as far west as Hazenbrouck, hlJf tn fh4 ,n1 war office, the front of the battle extends from Lambasse through Estaires to Bailleul on the Belgium frontier. Across the border Ypres has been occupied by the allied forces. This indicates decided gain for the allies. Outside of this, there is no important modification in the situa- tion in the western theater so far as is indicated by reports, couched in general terms received by the French war office
 In the eastern theater the Russians on October 13 successfully pressed back the German forces on the left bank of the Vistula along the road leading from Warsaw to Ivangorod, according to an official communication issued by the Russian general staff. Fighting continues to the south of Prezemysl, Galicia, says the state ment. There are no important changes on the other fronts.
 An official announcement given out in Vienna says the Austrians advanc- ing toward Przemysl have repulsed the encircling Russian troops in such a way that the enemy is now able to maintain his position only before the eastern front of the fortress It is said that during the fighting several military bridges over the San broke down during the Russian retreat and many of the Russians were drowned. Fighting continues east of Chyrow, Galicia.
 From Nish, Servia, comes the off, cial statement that Sunday night the Austrians made two attacks on the extreme right wing of the Servians' front between Svornik, Bosnia, and

Woman Suffrage

Illinois and Chicago give the
country the most significant
test of women's voting. What
actual y did happen on election
day furnishes official figures
and cold facts on a large scale
as to whether and how a VIC man
will vote. AT the election the

count of the police returns be.
fore the official revision, 70 per
cent of their registered voters;
while the mems votes number
ed ~ per cent of their registra-
tons. This is conceded to be a
very favorable showing for the
women at their first registra-
ton and election. 1t aught to
dispel the conjecture that few
women want to vote or will
not vote if given the right
whether they seek it OF not.
Clearly in anticipation OF
women voting in Chicago, an
ordinance was passed by the
Chicago city council abolishing
the family entrance and
ladies' entrance in saloons.
This action was not opposed by
the liquor interests represented
by the vigilant and aggressive
United Societies, To the re-
preventative women who pro-
noted this action, ole of the
most notorious of Chicago's
aldermen, who for many years
has led the forces for evil in the
city council, once a majority
and now a hopeless minority,

Points
for
Mothers
The First eet

The moment a spot of decay appears
upon q tooth-no matter how young
the child may be-that decayed spot
should be removed and the hole stop
ped by a dentist.
If this is not done the decay will
quite certainly spread and probably de-
stroy several teeth.
Don't imagine that because they are
''Only the first set" these teeth do not
matter. The first set matters very
much. If any of the teeth in it decay
and fall out too o the jaw doesn't
have the same chance to expand as II
would do il the teeth lasted their full
time and fell out naturally when the
second Ones came up under them.
Then, again. many mothers have an
idea that the molars (the big back
grinding teeth. which appear at the
age Of about six. are some Of the first
set and don't need any special atten'
ton il they show signs Of decay. They
are not. They are some Of the second
SETTLE permanent set-aDd II they de
cay and have to come out they Will
never be replaced. II the decay spots
in the frst set are neglected they vii
very likely infect these permanent
teeth.

THE POPULAR Wells.

Colored Lining Gives Chic to the New
French Fabrics.
The latest beauty veil is made Of fine
black silk spider web net and lined
with flesh pink tulle. Two large
patches made Of black velvet are plac-
ed at suitable points. one to fall at the
corner Of the left eye and the other at
the corner Of the mouth. This is a
specially becoming veil, fattering to
the complexion and very comfortable
to wear.
Another beauty veil which is a great
favorite in Paris is made Of pale hello
trope net and dotted with a couple of
black patches. On fair compilations
heliotrope tulle is very effective. The
same may be said Of cobweb tulle in a
pale shade of lemon yellow. 4.
For ordinary wear the favorite veil
is that made Of fine black silk tulle
and dotted all over with white pin
spots. Pale rose tulle dotted with
white is also admirably becoming, and
for women who go in for looking smart
one can recommend the new wells in
electric blue tulle dotted with black
and white pin spots and finished with
black velvet patches.
A great deal depends upon the veil.
Some of these lengths of fine tulle are
real beautifiers. Others merely make
the skin look hard or coarse. 1t is a
capital idea to stick to one particular
style of veil when it has been found to
be becoming.

A bran bath is excellent at night. Put
one pound Of bran in a loose thin cot

Although New York city is the Sec
ond greatest in the world. there are
large sections within its confines where
houses are few and. woodlands and
farms make up the landscape. Such a
place is the town of Woodside, in
Queens borough, on Long Island. On
the outskirts Of this little town there
has been for some time, an animal
training farm. Wild beasts from all
over the world are, received there
and tanned. 1t is said by some who
have been permitted to visit this in
sdtution that harsh methods are in
vogue. For instance, a newly import
ed lion is beaten with iron bars and
cowed by punishment. Happily this
