"DELICACIES" AT THE FRONT
Hindu Troops Have Partially for
Dainties That Seem Peculiar
to Western Senses.

A Native Indian writer, a Mr. Mira,
in letter to an English newspaper,
tells Of the kind of delicacies that the
British Indian troops at the front par
ticularly enjoy. The principal things
are ghee, areca nut, betel and Indian
tobacco.
To English readers, says the Man.
chester Guardian, ghee will be the
most mysterious of these commodi-
ties. It is a kind of clarified butter,
made from curdled milk-in India
usually from buffalo milk. The
curdied milk is churned into butter;
then the butter stands for a few days
until it begins to turn rancid. Then
1t is boiled, and seasoned with dhye-
whatever that is-salt or the leaf of
the betel, which is a kind of pepper
plant. Indians like 1t, but Europeans
seldom do, because it is so ripe" thGt
it Is virtually rancid.
As most people know, the Hindus
use the areca nut as a kind of chew
ing gum. They chew it with betel
leaf and little shell lime. The nut
is astringent and bitter. but it does
not seem to have any particular effect
on the user. The betel leaf adds o
peppery flavor to the combination.

BUTTONS WAR ON COLDS
Disappearance of the DecoIIete Dress
for Day Is Not Altogether
Bad Thing.

Decollete dress for day wear has
gone right -out of fashion-and the
pneumonia blouse is doomed.
This is one of the sensible changes
which have been made by Nine. La
Mode in wartime.
Right up to the chin is now the
rule for collars" said the representa-
tive of Paris firm of modistes.
"Blouses that leave the chest ex-
posed will soon disappear entirely so
far as women who have any regard for
fashion are concerned.
THE decollete blouse and corsage
of the day gown have until quite re-
Gently been carried to the extreme
Not only has the V been worn as
plainly as in evening dress, but in
some cases it has extended for street
wear almost to the waist"
The disappearance of the pneumo-
mia blouse and the return of the full
skirts which are now in vogue will
increase the primness of women's ap-
pearance, in that the figures will be
fully covered from ankle to ear.
Many of the new bodices and coats
button right up close to under the
chin.
In evening dress the latest idea
from Paris decides that if the corsage
be decollete in the front the gown COW
ers the back entirely up to the nape
of the neck.

On Children,s Coats

Little tots from three to eight
years old will be glad to learn that
they are allowed to wear separate
cuffs on their spring coats.

delicate collar of embroidered ecru
batiste, and the dear little cuffs to
match are placed with view to at

On a coat of white serge is a col

SPRING FADS AND FANCIES
Edicts of Fashion Seem More Sensible
Than Has Been the Case for
Many Years.

Very charming was one suit in navy
serge from a French house, in which
the construction was that of the coat
frock, the coat portion of the scheme
being a little sacque with the fullpess
of the skirt set in at the side, starting
from pocket flaps.
These, during the last few months,
have stimulated the pocket idea on a
good many coats and frocks.
Big, emphatic buttons weighted the
front of the skirt very cleverly, which
reminds one how often this button of
the hanging description, and both
large and small. has been a pretty fea-
ture these last six months or so. The
idea of hanging a button from ring,
either silk-thread-covered metal or
dyed bone, was, of course, in the same
vein. Perhaps the prettiest of all
these buttons is the acorn make, and
the most interesting. because the
parts may be of contrasting stuffs; for
instance, the cup of velvet, and the
rest of old brocade or gold tissue. The
clever may themselves embroider the
button in question, which in most
cases must, of course, first be made
by the special button machine.
The conviction in many minds that
the popular hat will be the sailor must
be considerably strengthened by the
success, whether partial or complete,
of the new skirt A spread at the base
will want either an unmistakable hrim
or absolutely no brim at all, one of

Evening Thinqs Up.

One day sleepy passenger got on
a Broadway car, but, before dropping
OF into slumber. he took the pre-
caution to ask the conductor to wake
him at his destination. 1t was Eighty
first street. The conductor, however,
proved to be remiss. Not until the
car had reached Eighty-third street
did he awake his drowsy charge.
Next evening the same man got on,
and again fell fast asleep. This time
the conductor determined to be more
cautious. At Seventy-ninth street he
awakened the sleeper.

Second Model Intended for the
Slender Girl.

The camisole illustrated is of flesh.

self-color and trimmed with narrow

delicate shade may be used, as null
chiffon cloth, nainsook, all-over shad-

A strip of material SO inches long
and Is to 20 inches wide will make
one cover. The latter width is for a
stout figure. A very tall person might
use a yard and an eighth for the
length, but one yard will be enough
for the average woman. The material
is doubled, laid fiat and a crescent ia
ken out at the fold, creating an oval
opening for the head to pass through.
A second crescent is taken out at the
raw edges and the ends turned up to
form hem. The long ends are fin
ished with narrow hem and trimmed
to suit the sewers fancy; also the
neck. A frill of lace is pretty finish,
with baby ribbon run through eyelets
an inch or so below. II one can en-

Lastly, the hens are run through
witt an elastic fitted at the ends
with HOOKS and eyes or snappers.

head and the elastic brought to the
front from the back. Then the front
elastics are taken around to the back
and closed there in like fashion to the

No WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
Untruthful Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

Defaming a Deighbor at the expense
of the truth does not help those who are
guilty of the practice, and it may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands, in the
hope that they may secure customers
| for their own, will certainly fail of
their purpose. False statements so
maliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And, as in the
case of the lands of Western Canada,
the fertility of which is now so we'll
known to people of every state in the
United States, the folly of this work
shows an exceeding short sighted
ness on the part of those guilty OF the
practice.
The present war has given some of
these people the opportunity to exer-
else their art, but in doing it they are
only arousing the curiosity of those
who read the statements and a trifing
investigation will only reveal their I'M
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
Gently appeared in a number of pa
pers, reading in part as follows:-
1T is believed that as a result of the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government a number of former
Dakota farmers who went to the Brit
ish Northwest will be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
ton has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm of 100 acres, which in the case
of many of the former residents of the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to confiscation."
To show that the public has doubt
ed, hundreds Of inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only to bring out the most en-
phatic denial. A full-fedged lie Of this
kind has, of course, only a short life,
and will tell in the end against those
who forge it and spread 1t, but, as
Winnipeg paper points out, it is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos
sibilities Of Western Canada to find
that rival, farming propositions need
audacious mendacity Of this descrip-
ton to help them.
What is the truth? The SasKatche-
wan Government has authorized levy
of SO per quarter section on unculti-
waited lands owned by non-residents.
The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as
sessed value of all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications of
these taxes, but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non-residents in Western Can
ada form a grave problem. They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. By having them
cultivated the owners as well as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. 1t is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation of the non-resi-
dents. The high price of grain for
some years to come, and the general
splendid character Of Western Canada
land will make the question well
worth OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
