In January the order of the year
brings about the making of new I'M
dermuslins, house dresses, kitchen
aprons, and all the white work re-
quired by the household and the house.
And in the annual January sales, all
over the country, Of white goods, mer-
chants present the stocks of cotton
fabrics which they have assembled in
anticipation of the demand for them.
There is no better season in which
to buy cotton products than at the
beginning of the year.
There has been steady advance
in the standard of quality in many
lines of cotton goods, and in the in
PRODUCTION of high-class novelties, the
mills are making rapid progress.

for the apron of cotton crepe, and it
is finished with white braid bindings.
The chief claim to attention is based
upon the fact that this kind of apron

combination.
For a simple salad which may be
quickly prepared, chopped apple, a

addition of nuts 1t is much better.

Cut three oranges in thin slices after
removing all the peeling. Mix cup

requires almost no ironing.
Although the subject Of kitchen
aprons is not one to arouse great
amount of enthusiasm, it is not by
any means without interest. Many
aprons manage to be attractive, while
they cleverly fill all that is required
of them in the way Of usefulness.
This means that they must cover the
figure, be plain and easily adjusted
good looking and shapely. They must
be neatly finished and provided with
at least one pocket and made of ma
terial that will stand any amount Of
Tubing.
All of the new aprons are made
with elbow sleeves except those that
are sleeveless. Very shapely and at
tractive models have large bib at
the front of the body fastened by fiat
bands of the material to the belt at
the back. A favorite finish for all
edges is a flat band of material in
contrasting color. All the fast col
ors are used with white, and striped
effects prevail.

AThe Habit of Taking Cold

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take cold sponge bath
every morning when you first get out
of bed-not ice cold, but a tempera-
ture of about 80 degrees F. Also sleep
with your windows up. Do this and
you will seldom take cold. When you
do take cold take Chamberlain Cough
Remedy and get rid of it as quickly as
possible Obtainable everywhere. J

GOSSIP OF A STREET.

The sentiment Of Wall Street concern
ing the Administrations procedure in re-
spect to the railroad situation seems to
be more nearly In accord with the senti-
ment Of the rest Of the country than 1t
sometimes IL In matters Of public inter-
est and policy. Labor has bullied the
President. who in turn has bullied Con-
gress. Is the way most people regard tho
case as 1t stands. The Street IL gratifed
that the strike menac has been ellmi-
mated. or 1t would be grateful had some
other means been found to accomplish
that highly desirable end. 1t is In two
minds whether to congratulate the coun-
try on escaping the grave consequences
that a strike Of the railroad employees
would entail or condole with II on being
compelled to bear the burden OF the eight
hour disguise for a we'll nigh prohtbitive
wage Increase.

Canadian ~Financing.

It IL considered by persons closely in
touch with financial interests In canada
unlikely that the Dominion will attempt
and financing in this country for some
time. II was learned yesterday on good
authority that Canada has a loan under
contemplation which may be brought
out around the middle OF this month.
but It will be purely an interior loan.
The chances are hat subscriptions TO
the loan will not even be received In
New York. though there Is nothing to
prevent the AmeriCaN investor from
sending funds to Canada II he wishes to
share in the loan. Banker say that un-
der the terms Of the new loan no pro-
visions will be made for making interest
payments or the principal Of the loan
payable anywhere in the United States,
although the LOAF will be in dollars II
could not be learned yesterday what the
amount OF the new Dominion financing
will be.
