A Scheme that Should
be Rejected.

such comment rs it merits;

Dear Sir;-There are now pending in
the courts number of suits of great
Importance to the people of the state.
The appropriation made by the last leg
islature has been exhausted and work
in these cases is now stopped because
the attorney generals office has not
the means with which to continue in
vestigations and taking of testimony.
One OF these cases is the Cotton
Seed Oil Case" an important case to
every man, woman ard child in the
state. Last year thousands of dollars
were saved the people of the state be-
cause this case was going on, and the
price of seed the coming season will de-
pend largely upon the continued prose-
cution of this case. This is only one of
number of cases of equal Importance
that are pending in the courts, and
which should be within the regular or
der of things.
| respectfully ask that you give your
consent for me to borrow the sum of
So, 900 90 with which to continue the
states litigation, and enclose herewith
letter addressed to myself to be sign
ed by you in the event you give your
consent. | am.

other gets similar amount for sew
ing on collar, etc. All this work is
done by the dozen. SO many cents
per dozen.
The coatmakers are generally men,
but some shops have women because
they are cheaper. Most Of the work Is
done right there in the shop so an
inspector can watch the poor sweat
ing men and girls at work and keep
them speeded up. The poor slaves
who sew the garments sold have
never placed a hand on a well-dressed
man nor worn well-fitting garment
themselves.
It's the same with the cloaks and
suits of the woman folks. All this
stuff is cut out by the dozen at one
time with big knife literally sawed
out. The making is done in the same
manner. If you could only see the
dirt and filth of these foreign slaves
who cut and sew the garments ] sold
you would shudder with horror at the
prospect Of placing the garments on
your back.
Your own tailor or dresSmakeT,
right in your home town, will make
you suit or coat much better than
the sweatshop workers and you can
be sure that you are not going to-
catch any disease from It. You will
find that it is sewed better, that it
won't rip, that the buttons won't fall
of, and that your pockets won't turn
into gaping holes. Again you will find
that the material is better and depend
able, that the style is better, etc. In
every way 1t will be more desirable.
It will be the same way with your
hats and shirts and shoes. In fact
you will discover that with everything
sold there will be something lack
ing.
It may look good for the first few
times Then it will fade. the rain
win pull it out Of shape, the seams
will rip wherever there is an ordinary
strain, and you will find out that it
looks cheap and shoddy. It is.
Buy at home. Get the things that
are dependable and worth having.
Buy from your local dealers. It's
cheapest for you in the long run, and
you are not sending your money out
Of town. Be patriotic and spend your
money at home It's good invest
ment for you. It will advance your
own interests.

Comfortable German Helmets.

German helmets brought to England
as trophies of war have been much
admired. Though made apparently
of steel, they were as light almost as
q cloth cap or a straw hat
Round the inside, where the helmet
touches, was ring of metal "leaf
springs" bound with leather. which
lightly clipped the head to keep the
helmet on without heavy pressure.
The brass spike or knob that crowned
the helmet was made useful as well as
ornamental. There were large holes
in it. which gave very good ventilation
to the inside Of the helmet-much bet
ter than the pinholes that are sup
posed to ventiIate a bowler In fact,
the Germans seem to have succeeded
In riaking a really comfortable bowl.

EuIooy on the Bob White:

The following is the eulogy on the
Bob White, by William II. Hornaday
once director of the New York zoologi-
cal park:
To my friend the epicure: The
next time you regale good appe-
tite with bluepoints, terrapin stew
filet of sole and saddle of mutton,
touched up here and there with the
high lights Of rare old sherry, rich
claret and dry monopole, pause as the
dead quail is laid before you on a
funeral pyre of toast and consider
this.
Here lie the charred remains OF
the farmers ally and friend, poor
Bob White. In life he devoured las
different kinds OF bad insects and the
seeds of 129 noxious weeds. For the
smaller pests Of the farm he was the
most marvellous engine of destruction
that God ever put together OF flesh
and blood. He was good, beautiful
and true; and his small life was
blameless. And here he lies dead,
snatched away from his field of labor
and destroyed, in order that may be
tempted to dine three minutes longer
after / have already eaten to safety. /"
Then go on and finish Bob White.

WOODS OF VARIOUS STRENGTH
Investigation Has Shown That Pres
ence or Absence Of Tylose Makes
a Great Difference.

The reason why one kind of wood
is more durable than another is owing
to the fact that one contains the sub
stance known as tylose in more gener-
GUS quantities. Tylose Is the material
which fills the pores of the wood and
resists the entrance or action OF de.
cay. For instance, white oak is well
suited and much used for barrel slaves,
where barrels are to contain liquid,
while, on the other hand, red oak,
which is apparently Of the same struc-
ture, is not at all suited for the pur-
pose.
A close examination Of the white
oak reveals the presence of the tylose
which seals all the little pores of the
wood. Red oak has none OF the ty.
lose. For this reason fence post of
white oak will last much longer in
service than one Of red. Timber en-
gineers who inject creosote and other
substances into wood to retard decay
long ago made lists of species that
were hard to treat, and others which
were easy
The preserYative fluids, we are told,
penetrate certain woods to consider
able depths when moderate pressure is
applied while others are almost inn
pervious, no matter how great the
pressure Those hardest to penetrate
by preservative fluids are those best
supplied with tylose.

And upon inspection certain new fea-

G ONE features in the present styles
~ prove very useful to the woman
inclined to practice economy in dress
ing. The liking for long tunics Of
chiffon Tor other diaphanous mate

vogue Of long sleeves of chiffon over

easy to remodel an out-of-date gown
Of silk or satin. The overdrapery is
of the same color, but not always of
exactly the same shade, as the silk

TUNES are so long that little of the
underskirt is visible below them. They
are cut to flare and ripple at the bot
tom, and in nine out of ten gowns are
finished with a border. Of some kind,
usually a narrow band of fur.
Last years velvet and cloth dresses
are brought up to date by shortening
the skirts to tunic length. By cutting
off a quarter of yard or more around
the bottom the skirt becomes a tunic
to be worn over an underskirt, faced
up with satin to match the tunic in
color. A straight skirt Of cambria or
percaline is cut the required length.

width to be lost under the tunic.
