Famous Feats Of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who. while
riding at a gallop. could send an ar
row through a buffalo's body. Re-
markable as this archery was, 1t did
not equal that reached by the archers
OF ancient times. 1t is OF record that
the MacReas OF Gairlock, Scotland,
were such skilled archers that they
could hit a man at the distance OF
500 yards. In 1894 the Turkish am
bassador at London shot an arrow in
field near that capital 415 yards
against the wind. The secretary OF
the ambassador on hearing the ex-
pressions OF surprise from the Eng
lish gentlemen present. said the sui
tan had shot 500 yards. This was the
greatest performance Of modern days,
but pillar standing OF a plain near
Constantinople recorded shots ranging
up to 800 yards. Sir Robert Ainslie,
British ambassador to the Sublime
Porte. recorded that in 1898 he was
present when the sultan shot an arrow
972 yards.-Washingto Star.

The dignified and picturesque cos
hume of black taffeta and chantilly
lace, worn with a poke bonnet shape
OF lisenet braid, was designed for an
older woman than the model on which
1t is pictured. But the design is one
OF those that appeal to the matron of
elegant and reserved taste even II
youth still smiles from her eyes.
A wide chantilly lace wells the I'M
derskirt in three scant founces, the
luster OF taffeta proving the best OF
backgrounds for the fine net and In
tricate pattern in the lace. A short
panel of the silk at the front and back
Of the bodice is extended into a
crushed girdle about the figure, fas-
tening at the right side under fiat but
tons OF cut Jet. But the details of
this particular combination are not
so important as the suggestion 1t car
ries for the use of lace and taffeta
in combination for black gowns. There
are many good styles which may be

There is a number Of pretty and
simple styles in coiffures that are to
be recommended to youthful wearers,
and to everyone else to whom the
palmer arrangements of the hair are
becoming. The hair in nearly all OF
them is unwaved, but if it have a nat
ural ripple SO much the better for the
couture.
Most demure, and favorite with
artists. the couture in which the single
parting divides the hair over the mid
die of the forehead is among the re-
vivals that have come along with wide
skirts and poke bonnets. In this Golf
fure the ears are covered and the
back hair arranged low and close to
the head. This is modified. when the
hair is straight. by pinning it in waves
or undulations about the face, with
small invisible wire pins, and wearing
a plain band of velvet ribbon about the
head to help keep the hair in place.
Sometimes the back hair is arranged
in a small "chignon" at the base of
the crown.
Rather boyish looking is a hairdress
in which the hair is combed straight

ClEAR-HEADED.
Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in a large
business house in one OF our great
Western cities speaks of the harm
coffee and tea did for him
My wife and l drank our first cup
of Postum a little over two years
ago, and we have used it ever since,
to the entire exclusion of tea and
coffee. 1t happened in this way:
Il had an attack of pneumonia.
which left me with dyspepsia, or neu-
ralgia of the stomach. My cup of
cheer had always been coffee or tea.
but became convinced, after time,
that they aggravated my stomach
trouble. l happened to mention the
matter to my grocer one day and he
suggested that l give Postum trial.
Next day it came, and we liked it
30 much that we will never change
back; for am well man today and
have used no medicine.
MY work as chief bookkeeper in
our Cos branch house here is of a
very combining nature. During my cot
fee drinking days l was subject to
nervousness and the blues in addi-
ton to my sick spells. These have
left me since l began using Postum
and l can conscientiously recommend
it to those whose work confines them
to long hours of severe mental exer-
ton"

followed with splendid results in max
ing up equally smart and disnitled
and dressy costumes.
Just the headwear for such gown
has been chosen here. The bonnet
of black straw is faced with pale pink
crepe georgette and trimmed with
ruche malines with sash and hanging
ends of broad black velvet ribbon.
Half-blown garden roses, in natural
pink shadings, glow wildly against
the rich black of the velvet girdle, and
the airy tulle gives the requisite light
ness. Two roses are tied with spray
OF their foliage into the streamers at
the back of the bonnet, one near the
waist line and one not far from the
brim edge at the back.
Something OF olden times is ex'
pressed in the poke bonnet, something
of the heart of summer and gentle
ladyhood in the fine lace and the gar
den roses.

We and the British Have Sweet Too

We and the British Have Sweet Tooth.
Britons have the sweetest tooth. and
Americans come next, II the statis-
tics for consumption OF sugar mean
anything. An Englishman eats annu-
ally 924 pounds, an American con-
sumes 1872 pounds. In Denmark the
average consumption Is 72.6 pounds
per capita; in Switzerland 1t is IS
pounds; in Germany. Holland. Sweden
and Norway 1t is from 80 to A
pounds; in France. IS pounds; In
Belgium. SO; in Austria. 24.2; In Rus
STA. 1913; in Portugal, 1874: in Spain.
and Turkey. IL; in Italy. Bulgaria.
Roumania and Serbia, from 6 to Z
pounds.
The principal reasons for these vari-
atoms is found in the relative high
ness or lowness of the customs duties
on sugar and on the things with which
1t is commonly associated coffee. tea,
etc.

down with band Of velvet. It is
loosened by pulling it forward lit
tie until it stands up in a small POM
padour over the forehead. AT the
sides it is pulled forward and pinned
in a loop over the ears. The ends at
the back are tucked under a small
French twist.
One of the prettiest OF these sim
pie coiffures is shown in the picture
given here. The hair is not wavy,
but is abundant. It is parted at the
right side and pinned into waves
about the face and over the ears. A
lock is brought down in dip over the
forehead and the ends are arranged
in three short puffs across the back
Many of these pretty arrangements
must be held in place by hair net,
and never was there a greater help
to this end than the plain band of vel.

against them granted to Knab, Pow
ers and Fitting by Judge Baldwin tes-
titled this morning regarding their

A. G.. ShOrley, a merchant tailor,
253 N. Dearborn ST., testified that he
stopped eating at Powers restaurant,
70 W. Randolph, owing to his fear of
physical violence" at the hands of a
girl picket. When asked if he saw
the girl he was afraid of in court he
pointed to Carrie Alexander, presi-
dent of the union. Carrie Alexander
was not a picket.
Alexander B. Phillips, salesman of
the Consumers Co., testified he
merely stopped eating at Powers
because he didn't like to go to a place
where there was trouble.
Ella SandbUrg, cashier Union Mar
ket, 533 S. 5th av., said she stopped
eating at Fittings, 172 w. Harrison,
because a waitress "%snickered at

testified she was forced to stop eat

laughed at her. Later she admitted
she used to go and eat while in a ne
gro makeup. However, she didn't
think that would make her an object

VILLA PRACTICALLY CLAIMS THE

UuENNlSS NGSuCGlNS
FL Paso, Feb. 4.-Gen. Villa today
practically proclaimed himself presi-
dent of Mexico. He has assumed
preme political power and organized
a civil government with himself as
the head. Villa gave as his reason for
assuming the supreme power of
the republic that the interruption of
communication has made it impos-
sible to work in conjunction with the
forces in the south. He declared the
zone he controlled was so extensive
that an organized government was
necessary.

NOTES ON BLOOMING THINGS

No matter what the calendar says,
do not plant your tuberoses out OF
doors until the ground is warm and
spring settles downright.
LIQUID manure is made by saving
a barrel in two or using tub with
spigot near the bottom. Punch holes
in an old lard can through the bot
tom and fill with fresh manure Place
It on the tub with boards laid across
the tub) and fill the can with water.
Harden plants grown under cover
by exposing them to the sun and air
and outdoor atmosphere. Expose them
but a short time at first and increase
the exposure until they are hardy.
However, they must not be left in the
weather during high or cold winds or
when frost, snow or ice are in the
air.
Mulch sweet peas by sowing seeds
of any of the low growing ANIMALS
along the pea trenches and thereby ex-
tend their growing season.

And don't make the mistake of clip

the appearance of having been shaved

all lawns depend for their attractive.
