British Troops In Southwest Africa Have to Conduct Campaign
 Under Difficulties. ..


 One of the hottest places where the British are fighting is in German Southwest Africa, where General Botha is in command of an expedition against the. enemy The habitable part of German Southwest Africa lies in the center of sun-scorched. water less, shadeless desert of shifting sand, and General Botha's men have to carry everything they need, for nothing whatever can be obtained from the country, not even fodder for the anil mals.
 The sand penetrates everywhere, and the heat of the sun is so terrific that all the troops fighting with Gen. eral Botha have been served out with veils and goggles" Without them, indeed, it would be impossible to get along at all, and, as it is, hundreds of the Boer burghers, though hardened campaigners, have been so blistered by the sun that they are in hospital.
 The heat at midday is 122 degrees in the shade and the shade Is . sweltering tent. Many of the troops pass that time of the day with noth- ing on but sun helmet and a pair of boots.

Why Talk Hard Times?

The average increase in the national wealth has been $S,000, 100000 year for the last ten years. The bureau of the census estimates the wealth of the country at $187, ,000,O ,O0O, ,000. In 1904 it's estimate was $107 ,OOO, ,0OO, ,OOO, gain of $sO,0OO. 100000. or 75 per cent, in decade.
 The United States in this short pe- riod has added to it's resources a sum within $5,000,00O,000 as large as the total wealth of Great Britain and Ire land, an amount equal to wealth of Germany, $30.0O0, 100000 more than the wealth of France, twice the wealth of Russia, more than three times as much as Austro-H -Hungarians are worth, and four time- the wealth of Italy. We could have bought with the increment of a single year nearly all the bonds that have been issued by the warning nations to raise money to carry on he fight. And the national wealth is still growing as the sun shines on the crops in the fields and as Europe pours ger millions into our mills to pay for var Philadelphia Evening Ledger (Rep.).

Cream Rlouses ModIsh.

Cream Is the modish tone for the spring blouse not pink. Rarely love ly as the pink blouse is in delicate flesh or shell tones, it's day has passed. and these blouses are offered for sale on the bargain tables, while cream and sand-colored models have the places of honor among exclusive new spring wearables.
 Hemstitched blouses of sand colored khaki-kool for sport wear have buttoned down pockets and plaits at front and back. Cream net and lace blouses meet the requirements of formal spring tailleurs, and there are good looking blouses of tan shantung. cream-tinted Georgette crepe and ecru pussy-willow silk, all with the long sleeve and collar high at the back, whatever the cut may be at the front.

the wrong pew, if you'll pardon the quotation.
 While thinking about him and what a magnificent representative of the spe- cies sportsman he is and the wonder full service he has rendered, the thought came to me that regardless of his case and experience, the lot of a professional ball player is mot a happy one" True, the professional player is well paid, but his earning ca pacity is limited and his rights at all times are subordinate to those of his employer. He may serve faithfully and we'll many years and suddenly be turned away without seeming thought CT consideration. There might be pension system devised which would apply to faithful servants in baseball, like the pension systems which apply to faithful employees in the industrial world. Then when a player is forced out of the "big noise' after years of faithful service, his pension, together with his minor league salary, would enable him to ease off the going and make the retrograde movement less embarrassing.
 I haven't worked this idea out very well, but there is food for reflection evef in what has been written.

Shopping bags and purses seem to be dwindling somewhat in size, but are still so constructed that they carry about all the requisites for the shop ping tour. And no matter how few their fittings, the small but very good little mirror is never absent. In the newest bags it is either inserted in the flap or fastened to the bag with a narrow ribbon or tape. In many of these bags the small coin purse is fastened to the frame with a long, slender chain, so that it cannot be lost.
 A variety of shapes is shown in the group of bags pictured here. Seal, pin-seal and morocco are the most fashionable feathers. Linings in flow cred silks showing small blossoms on a light ground are the most dainty and the most popular.
 Some of these small bags carry a mirror, tiny comb, a powder box, a small flat hat brush, and a diminutive scent bottle, besides, of course, the ever-present mirror, the small coin purse, and sometime" a card case Every one of the articles is found to

DEMAND FOR FACTS
Statement of. Republican Journal
 ;, E.. eFiticized..
iYUnwarranted Attack Upon the Under: wood Tarlff Law Is Resented- Figures: Show the Charges
 Made Are False
Our morning contemporary declares

Our morning contemporary declares that
 The Underwood tariff virtually opened our doors for the admission of foreign products and manufactures, and the evil effect of this breach in the tariff barricade was making it. self strongly manifest long before the war began. By checking all indus try and putting an almost prohibitive price upon transportation the war stopped foreign competition with our producers and manufacturers and null lffied the Democratic tariff law"
 The Republic unhesitatingly pro- aounces this to be false and chal- lenges its Republican neighbor to point out the facts in the government statistical reports of imports support ing such statement. In order that the good faith of the challenge may clearly appear and that there may be no chance of evasion of the issue, we challenge our contemporary to con fine it's analysis to the five months ly- ing between April and September 1, 1914, each of which showed balance or trade in the foreign market adverse to the United States.
 What is the evidence that "the Un- derwood tariff virtually opened our doors for the admission of foreign products and manufactures, and the evil effect of this breach in the tariff barricade was making itself strongly manifest long before the war began?" General indictments have no standing, either in law or common sense. Let this be made specific. What were the changes in the free list which proved disastrous to American industry What were the changes in rates of duty? What group of manufactures suffered and how much did they srf- fer?
 If the American people have been humbugged and hurt by certain DOT tions of the Underwood tariff, they are certainly entitled to know what those portions are and how much they have hurt; it is the public duty of the Re publican press to enlighten us. Like the man in the thunderstorm, we de- mand "a little more light and little less noise. "-St. Louis Republic.

Of course Republicans are saying hat the people will remember in 1916 low hard the times were in 1914, but my political faith founded on that as- sumption rests on worse than quick lands.

 T was scarcely able to be around, had no energy and did not care for anything. Was emaciated and had . constant pain around my heart until I thought could not endure 1t.
 Frequently I had nervous chills and the least excitement would drive sleep away. and any little noise would upset me terribly. was gradually getting worse until finally asked my self what's the use of being sick all the time and buying medicine so that I could indulge myself in coffee?
 "So I got some Postum to help me quit I made it strictly according to directions and want to tell you that change was the greatest step in my
 
 life. It was easy to quit coffee be- cause I now like Postum better than theI coffee.

A group of new breakfast or bou- doir caps causes one to wonder where their makers find so many ideas by which to furnish the variety needed. There are two distinctly new and one entirely original design among these. They are all very simple and easy to make.
 At the left is a cap of silver lace and narrow satin ribbon, which may be in any color desired. It is made of a circular piece of lace about fourteen Inches in diameter, edged with mes saline ribbon, machine stitched to it in two rows of stitching. These are far enough apart to form casing for a small elastic cord. This Is run in and the lace fulled on 1t to form the cap and ruffle.
 A fan or petal of lace is made over a wire support. The narrow ribbon is stitched to the edge of the fan, as for the cap. But instead of elastic cord, fine wire Is run in the casing. The fan should be placed on the cap before the ruffled edge is stitched on, as the ribbon covers it's raw edge.
 At the right pretty cap is made of strips of ribbon, shadow lace and net. These form the crown. A band of rib bon covered with lace extends about the face, and frill of lace falls in a little cape at the back. For decora- ton narrow band of bead passemen- terie is sewed to the band, and ribbon rosettes are set at each side at the end of the cape. .

be practical, and such bag is great aid in keeping neat on the shopping tour or journey. They become indis- pensable after one has got used to the miniature brush, comb, etc. But it is like getting accustomed to small rooms-they answer the purpose
 In buying a bag it is best to choose the oblong, square, or circular shapes The fancy shapes, made merely with the end in view of being odd, will not carry ones belongings as safely and are far less handy. There is apt to be waste space in them.

There is a great tendency to use white lace, net or chiffon over black taffeta, satin and crepe de chine to create an evening gown. In fact, some of the newest lingerie gowns are of beautiful embroidery over black silk.
