COST OF LIVING IS
HIGHEST ON RECORD

Washington, Oct. "a marked in
crease in the cost of living is shown
in the rising tendency of the prices of
foodstuffs on Oct. reports which are
being received at the department of
agriculture. Flour is selling at the high
est prices at any time since the civil
war, principally because of the crop
shortage. The cost of potatoes is
mounting for the same reason. Meats
and most farm products show a big
increase in cost. Potatoes are selling at
116 per cent higher than a year ago.

WILL RESUME WORK
ON BIG PROJECT

Work on the Big Lost River irriga-
ton project, held up because of the OBJ
jections raised to some Of the specifi-
cations, especially those of the Mackay
dam by Engineer Lippincott, may pro-
coed Immediately and the Utah Con
struction Company has been so notified
The men and machinery for the work
have been awaiting word from Boise to
60 ahead. This was not possible until
the land board acted. The board met
yesterday afternoon, all members pres
emit except Governor Alexander, and on
the suggestion Of Edwin Snow, coun-
sci for the Utah Construction Company,
accepted the revised plans and specifi-
cations as presented under date of Sept.
81. Attorney General Peterson, acting
as chairman of the board; State Audit
or Huston and Miss Bernice Mccoy,
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, voted to accept the plans. Sec
rotary of State Barker voted against
dCCepCdhCc.
1t was stated at the board meeting
that the plans meet all Of the objections
raised by Engineer Lippincott. The
citizens of Mackay laid the plans be-
fore this well known engineer and
asked his criticism. He pointed out
weaknesses in the manner of recon
structing the Mackay dam as proposed
1t is understood that the board s ac-
ton means that the famous Mackay
dam can be built under the revised
plans with the objections of Mr.. Lip
pincott met, or in other words, the dam
will be erected with little fear of it ever
going out The plans are said to take
the foundation far below the river bed
and to bedrock. The trouble with the
former construction work was that tht
dam did not rest on bedrock and water
passed under it. This structure has
been the bone of contention for years
and has played no small part in Idaho
politics. The land board some time
ago accepted and entered into con
tract with the Utah Construction Com
pany to rebuild the irrigation project
but the objections raised held up tn
work.

and yet avoids any suggestion of stiff-

posed to the seasons preferred styles,

softening touch.
Sleeves of the dress illustrated are

sheer white organdie. This touch Of
white against the neck is uniformly
becoming AS will be noted. the gown
is cut on very simple lines. The bod

front girdle is in one with the front
sections of the bodice, and is finished
with a touch Of silver-thread en-
broidery and an appliqued block OF
the navy satin.
The fancy for metal embroideries
came into being more than a year
ago, and 1t has strengthened as the
| months have passed. The decoration
is now a favorite one on many OF the
high-grade tailored suits of silk.
Costumers account for the fancy for
embroideries as trimmings by the fact
that the war has discouraged the de-
velopment of novelty fabrics and
| trimmings, so that to Offset the condi-
ton and do away with the possibility
| of d dearth of decoration hand en-
| broidery was given a place at the
head OF the procession.

cred frocks need not appall her, but
if she must depend upon someone else
| to apply the stitches she must ex-
pect to pay well for them. Manufac-
turers say that because of the demand
for hand embroidery as a trimming
ready-to-wear garments have gone up
in price. as this class of work must
necessarily be slow and skilled needle
women command high wages.

CONNECTIONS MADE At HOME
Delicious MarshmaIlows Require Only
Moderate Amount Of Care In
Their Preparation and Serving.

II you wish pure, delicious marsh
mallows, soak two tablespoonfuls
granulated gelatin in ten tablespoon
fuls of cold water until soft. Pour
ten tablespoonfuls of boiling water
over two cupfuls of sugar, and boil I'M
til it makes a strip which will form
thread when dropped from the spoon.
Remove the strip from the fire and
stir into it the softened gelatin. Let
stand until cool. then add salt and
flavoring and beat until it becomes
stiff enough to hold its own shape.
Pour the candy into granite pans dust
ed with powdered sugar and let stand
in a cool place until set. Cut in
cubes and roll in powdered sugar.
Chocolate marshmallows are made
either by coating the plain marshmal-
lows with melted, unsweetened choco-
late, or adding melted chocolate to the
marshmallow mixture before cooking.
Chopped nuts or candied fruits may
be stirred into the mixture after 1t
has been removed from the fire. In
stead of vanilla flavoring, fruit juice
may be used in place of part Of the
water. Marshmallows are dainty and
attractive il rolled with grated Co
coanut before being coated with sugar.

RAVES ABOUT OUR GARDENS

II can't say enough in praise of ne

rave about them II l ever let myself
co." exclaimed Miss Carlisle. They
are ravishing-so sunlit, Astounding In
freshness and beauty! Do you realize
that they are so brilliant that l can
never show paintings of American gar
dens in the same room with English
gardens, because they make them look
quite dreary? Their one fault Is that
there is often too much statuary I'm
them, and too much Of It irrelevant.
Frequently, too, they are not rambly
enough, and seem a little self-con-
scious. In English gardens small
stones mellow with years are used.
and the furnishings add that warmth
which breeds intimacy. 1t is the in
formal garden that attracts the artist
In England these abound, with their
winding paths passing through uneven
hedges of many varieties of flowers.
That uneven hedge, flashing forth
vivid colors. one seldom sees in Amer
lea. probably because of the fiuctuat-
ing climate and the vogue Of more
formal arrangement" r. Pey-

about so to 1 of our money. In case
regular rations cannot be bought there
is the emergency ration for the men OF
chocolate and pemmican-like mix
ture of meal and dry molasses to be
mixed with salt and water-which
each man carries. Jerked beef is a
new ration which has been added by
the army in the present campaign. 1t

base.
So much for the necessaries. Close
after those Of food are the horseshoes.
nails and harness parts. which average
a ton a month. Then there is lumber.

item which is hauled ton at a time.
The army store sold $500 worth recent
! ly. so it is in considerable demand.
Another big commodity which must
be carried is ammunition. So far the
| fighting has not been SO extensive as
to require any considerable amount OF
this, but when 1t is needed, the line OF
communication must be in position to
handle It promptly. A wagon is loaded
with 1900 pounds and a truck with
1000 pounds. They are kept busy.

HOUSE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Bob Russell, His Wife and Baby Have
Narrow Escape In Texas
Storm.

Brady, Tex.-Bob Russell. his wife
and baby. who live six miles west Of
Brady. had a narrow escape one night
when lightning struck their home, CIV
ing them a severe shock and setting
the wallpaper and bed clothing afire.
The electric bolt passed across the
roof and came down the wall inside
the room where the family were
asleep and passed to the ground by
way of a telephone wire and two shot
guns standing near a bed.
Russell was rendered unconscious,
and when he recovered he found the
bed clothing and wall paper afire. He
was able to extinguish the blaze with
but little difficulty.
The barrels of both guns were melt
ed. as was also the telephone ground

Embroidered Pockets,

There are many girls who prefer to
wear tailored blouses with their coat
suits, and yet they wish to keep them
from being too severe. A satisfactory
way to overcome this is to add hand
embroidery to q blouse made on shirt
waist lines. One blouse Of old-rose
crepe de chine has pointed sailor col
lar which Is neatly hemstitched. The
same form Of trimming is used to trim
the deep cuffs. A line of hemstitchins
extends from beneath the collar down
either side of the front to simulate q
bolero. At about the middle Of tn
curved lines pockets are inserted
These add materially to the blouse b
cause they are neatly braided. A

cuffs.

Many Uses for the Empty Hands
May Be Found II Women Will
Look for Them.

What shall q woman do with her
hands, now that she has no further
use for a muff? Shall she carry q
handbag, or shall she run the risk Of
feeling awkward and nervous through
not knowing just what to do with
them? Many women who are not ordi-
narily affected by tribes are some
times irritated by this little problem.
One young woman solves 1t by be-
coming a student. She is seen for the
first few weeks of mild weather carry
ing a book. magazine or newspaper,
which is not heavy. but finds use for
the empty hands. At first a book is
used. Then she changes to lighter
book, then to a magazine, and lastly to
the newspaper. In the meantime she
has been learning to carry a handbag
in the hand, and not slipped over the
arm, as is generally done by those
who have carried a muff.
Another woman carries bag con-
tanning embroidery. while a third is
never seen without an embroidery bag
or basket. These articles are not
heavy, nor cumbersome. but are useful
for the purpose to which they are put.
1t is always at this time that women
feel shabby, even though they may
have on practically new clothes, and
all long for the seasons change of
dress. The bright new bags. or books,
serve to modify this dissatisfaction,
and women who carry such things go
along in a buoyant manner. apparently
free from care. There are many new
artistic handbags which can be made
inexpensively and changed to CORE
spond with the costume and which
could be used in this way.
