is a dog that travels on two legs.
Several months ago dog belonging
to Mr.. Storey, section foreman of Sup
ply, Okla, was run over by a train and
two of his legs cut off. For some time
he was unable to move around, but
now has recovered so that he can nav
igate quite handily. The two legs on
which he is forced to walk are both
on one side. He not only walks, but
can also run, and seems to be about
as well able to get around as dog

ELECTOR MAY BE HELPED

The secretary Of state may decide
to distribute arguments for and
against proposed constitutional amend
ments through the agency of the var
ious boards of elections instead of di-
rectly from his own Office. He would
have a perfect right to do this be-
cause the election boards are, after all,
deputies of his Office, and subject to
his jurisdiction. Also, by doing the
work, they would relieve the secretary
of a big task.
According to the constitution, as
interpreted by the recent ruling Of
the supreme court, every voter in the
state must get q phamphlet explaining
both the pros and cons of the pro-
posed amendments to be passed upon
by him in November. Since there are
more than one million voters in the
|state, the postage alone will amount
into the thousands. The clerical aiC
needed, plus khe necessary printing
and stationery, will add many thou |,
ands of dollars more, and will entail
many days of labor.

MANY DEPUTIES TO STAY

Contrary to expectations, the new
state board of agriculture, which has
control of the fish and game warden's
department, has not disturbed any of
it's old appointees. Announcement has
just been made of the reappointment
of 81 of the old deputies and of the re-
appointment of two stenographers.
1t is expected that there will be ad-
ditional reappointments soon.
The game wardens are paid salaries
ranging from $50 to $100 a month.
Genera John c. Speaks, the chief
game warden, who has been reappoint-
ed, gets an annual salary of $4,000.

Braid Trimmed Check Costume

touches that render them distinctive
are the curious color notes that are be-
ing introduced for contrast on many OF
the smart new French models.
Pink silk embroidery is often seen
on frocks of dark blue serge, and dull
reseda wool embroidery is unusually
smart on dark blue: this wool embroid-
cry is one of the new notions OF the
winter; it appears on collars, cuffs, CIR
dies, and trimming bands of frocks,
coats, and blouses. Heavy wool worked
out in a rib effect to initiate wide Her
cules braid, is detail Of many of the
important serge and gabardine dresses
The various conventionalized soutache
patterns on foundation Of net or chif
forf, often edged with band Of a flat
silk braid or hedge of fur, is much in
vogue for trimming the more dressy
frocks; the wide braids, in numberless
attractive designs, are popular as well.
The standing soutache designs are IA
vored for yokes and chemisettes and
for the half belts so much a feature
of the smart half panel Princess dress
The wide braids are often used for an
entire panel or yoke on skirt; also
for cuffs, and the standing band col
lars which appear on so many Of
these cloth dresses.

Cane Collars and ChOkers

Another quaint and becoming detail
of these dark cloth dresses is the col
lar. Many of the plain redingote serge
gowns are made with single or double
cape collars. Colored collars of all de-
scriptions are being worn; turnover col
lars of colored velvet add a smart
touch to tie choker of the simple dress
and the idea of the colored chemisettes
of the summer is being carried out for
winter in failles and brocades, striped
and figured velvets. Chimisettes Of
pale pink faille, made with high, un'
lined, unboned collars, buttoning at the
side and wrinkling about the throat
like mousquetaire glove, are worr
with gowns of serge or velvet. Th'
ncckline of the dress is usually round

Appendix Not
Needed Any More

The principal cause of appendicitis
is natures effort to eliminate the ap-
pendix, by cutting off the blood sup
ply. Unnecessary organs in the hui
man anatomy are being eliminated.
When man was quadruped living on
uncooked foods, a larger digestive ap-
paratus was necessary. But when
man began to eat concentrated and
cooked foods, much of the digestive
apparatus, including the appendix, no
longer was needed.
In the days before Adam the ap-
pendix was supplied with blood by
several arteries, but now only one
small artery supplies it. When ever
there is structure or a lesion of the
one artery Inflammation sets in. Or,
sometimes, small amount of intes-
tinal matter lodges in the appendix
Many times an ulcer results, and the
foreign matter is forced through the
sides of the appendix. In such case!
an operation almost always is neces
sary, if the patient is to recover. Ca
tarrhal affections also frequently
cause appendicitis.
Conscientious physicians are nov
recommending operations within tn
first 48 hours after the first show O.
appendicitis. The reason is that tn
death rate is such cases will not ex
ceed one-half Of one per cent, althoug
only Is percent die from the first a
tack, if there is no operation. Twent
per cent die from subsequent attack!
while Is per cent are made chronic ir
valids. The surgeon has no means c
knowing which so per cent will recove
if the knife is not resorted to, hent
the larger number of operations.
is just case of safety first.

short haired pelts, beaver, nutria, or
that smart Russian krimmer, are de-
cidedly chic and most becoming.
These collars are being worn with
the one-piece dresses; generally, they
are accompanied with muff, as round
as ball and strongly suggestive of
Grandmother's day. Wide cape collars
of fur closed under the chin with
stiff little bow of taffeta or moire rib
bon are smart, too, with these small
muffs.

the prettiest and smartest notions
along this line are the contrasting
facings. Early last spring, Paquin in
troduced the idea in chic little after
noon dress of dark blue taffeta; it is
now being applied to serge and cloth
frocks Many of the strictly tailored
dresses of serge, gabardine or broad
cloth, show these bright colored fac
ings; the facing generally comes down
and finishes the lower edge of the
skirt with narrow piping of the color.
Blue gowns are faced with rose, red,
old gold, and black velvet; the effect
is wonderfully attractive and harmoni-
