BIRTH OF THE LINEN COLLAR
According to History, BIacksmith's
Wife Invented Modern Mans
Greatest AffIiction.

The wife of Troy IN. W black
smith is said to have been the first
person to have made separate collars
for mems shirts. This happened in
1925, and men have been suffering
ever since. Outside of inventing the
separate collar, this woman did the
family washing.
Accordingly she set herself to work
making separate collars for her hus-
bands shirts and then made enough
to sell outside the home. This innova-
ton attracted the attention of Rev.
Ebenezer Brown, a retired Methodist
minister, and he with the aid of the
women of his family, went about sell
ing collars. This was in 1929.
All the work on these early collars
was done by hand, for the sewing ma
chine had not yet been invented. In
those days not more than Il dozen col
lars Il day We're sold. Their name
"string collars"-was specially appro-
pirate, for they We're tied around the
neck with a string of tape attached to
each end Of the collar. Except the
bands, the first separate collars were
generally all linen and of two thick
nesses, although some were faced with
cotton cloth. They were slightly stiff
fened and had high points extending
above the chin on either side.-POpu-

Danger Signal,

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help
to put out the fire? 1t is much the
same way with a cough. A cough is
a danger signal as much as a fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than stop fire bell when
tits ringing, but should cure the dis
ease that causes the coughing. This
can nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results. 1t is especially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often
follows bad cold or an attack of
the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching,
Andrews, Ind, writes: During the
winter my husband takes cold easily
and coughs and coughs. Chamber
lains Cough Remedy is the best
medicine for breaking up these at
tacks and you cannot get him to
take any other" Obtainable every

High School.
Alumni.

Saturday night, the Monte Vista
High School basket ball teams jour-
neyed to La Jara to play the La
Jara boys and girls return games,
and returned all right, bringing with
them accounts of two more victories
to their credit.
The girls played the opening
game. and to do them justice, it
must be said that the team work
displayed was the best so far this
season. Macarthur, Baird, Atte-
berry and Munsell all starred, the
basket shooting of Macarthur being
the special attraction. The La Jara
girls did not have single chance
throughout the entire game, and
although putting up plucky fight,
were overwhelmed; 1920.
On account of the small floor and
low ceiling, the boys did not make
as good a showing as they did the
night before on their own floor. An
amusing incident happened after
about three minutes of play, when
the Referee stopped the game,
counted the players, and found that
Monte had six boys engaged. The
teamwork displayed was hardly up
to par, and the basket shooting was
erratic to say the least. The La
Jara team has evidently been put
ting in lots of practice lately and the
good showing they made was COM
plete surprise to those who wit
messed the game here; in fact, at
times, they completely outplayed
their opponents. Jones and Hag-
gard of the locals, and Klein and
Bernard of La lara were the stars
OF the evening, and are all good con-
sistent players. The final score was
46-22 in favor of Monte Vista
Cecil Mount of La lara and Flavio
Santistevan acted as Referee and
Umpire, respectively.
The Monte Vista journal., 1916-12-16

The game between the Alumni and
the high school boys was punctuated
throughout by arguments between
the players and the referee, it finally
becoming expedient to substitute
Robert Macarthur as referee in
place of Supt. Mccormick in the last
half. Myron Schall of the Alumni
starred at basket shooting, while the
passing by the high school was also
a feature.
The work of Jones at center was
noteworthy, in view of the fact that
this was his first game with the
team. The final score was "A to 13,
in favor of the high school.

The BASKET BALL GAMES

The basketball games at the opera
house Friday night resulted in
complete victory for the high school.
The first of the three contests was
that between the Boy Scouts team
and the Freshmen. The boys,
though inexperienced, did we'll. The
final score was Z to 10 in favor of
the Freshmen. Lindenmeyer served
as referee for this game.
The second game of the series
was staged between two girls teams,
the Reds representing the high
school and the Whites being a pick
up team composed of members of
the Alumni and second teams. The
game was very exciting, though one
sided. The Whites started things
with a rush, Sara Chapman making
the first field goal after about twenty
seconds of play During the second
half, by the substitution of Cary for
Gruver at second center, the Reds
began to draw away from their op-
ponents, the final score being 20 to
-. Sara Chapman was easily the
star of the game, her basket shoot
ing being undoubtedly largely the
cause of the good showing made
against the high school.

 l American business methods will inf1u- ence Europe's governmental systems. In state business undertakings modern | American trust methods will supplant efficient bureaucracy. This Americaniza- | ton will come as a result of Europe S | impoverishment. Yves Guyot, French economist, says that the war can last after 1916 only with American financing | The Berlin Boersen Courier admits that that is true but boasts that Germany will win before 1917. After the war Flu rope will need immediate loans of $2, ,500,- GOO O00 to repair damage. This cannot be got from the populations even if the pop ulations have it. The populations support present war loans under pressure of pa triotism; they know that without money their armies will perish After the war, the populations will not lend America alone will have money: and if America refuses to lend at normally high rates, then Europe will have to pay abnormally high rates and accept humiliating con trol conditions The Italian finance eX- pert, Sicchi predicts that within a year the richest European state will be offer ing 10 per cent for American money. Allowing for issue price and commissions, already some states are paying per cent.
 
 10 per cent, and he predicts that she will lend liberally, as Europe's states will not actually go bankrupt America, writes Scchi, will not need to worry about that She will take control of the security. In Russia, an undeveloped country, America will take over the monopoies which are about to be substituted for the abolished spirit monopoly She will do that in the interests of economical and honest ad- ministraton. Even the more advanced European states will have to put up with American control Sicchi quotes the case of Germany. Prussia's state railways are valued at $60G0,0000O0. They bring Prus- sa after payment of interest on capital net profit of $20o, GOO a year Prus- sia's minister of railways admitted in al pre-war Landtag session that savings of $70,000,000 a year might be made If busi- ness considerations only were taken into account" Finance Minister Helfferich stated in his last speech that state rail- ways were a guarantee of Germany's sol vencY. This means that if necessary the German railroads will be mortgaged as security for loans. If Americans during or after the war take the railroads as security they will insist, says Sicchi on partial American control. and will run the roads even more profitably than the efficient Prussian bureaucrats. Amer- | cans may later relax their grip; but they will leave permanently the impress of their methods, and financial exigencies will prevent the European states going back to their out date management l methods.

Origin of Famous Play

From My Remembrances, by Edward
 H. Sothern. in the February Scribner.
 The story of this production cLord Dundreary'D has often been told, but a new light was thrown upon the history of Lord Dundreary when Joseph Jefferson related to me the following facts.
 It appears that MT. Jefferson was at the time of this production supposed to be suffering from consumption. He told me that his doctors declared that his only hope was to be out in the fresh air as much as possible. That actually his life depended upon it. He was glad. therefore, when my father joined Laura Keene's company, to discover that he was passonately fond of riding. They hired a stable together and purchased two horses. They shared the expense, which was a serious matter as they were both merely stock actors. When the play of Our American Cousin was read to the company, as was customary, my father was so disheartened with the part for which he was cast-Lord Dundreary a second old man with only few lines that he determined to throw up his en- gagement and leave America. He had been acting for 10 years and had. he thought. made some impression and he felt that if his years of labor had brough, him no further reward. he would give UT the struggle. He told Jefferson that he proposed to return to England and enter his fathers office in Liverpool, to devote himself to mercantile pursuits. At once 1t occurred to MT. Jefferson that if my

Had Pellagra;
 Is Now Cured

Hillsboro, A1a.-J. w. Turner, of this place, says "I ought to have written you two weeks ago, but failed to do so. I got well and then forgot to write you. I can get about like a 10-year-old boy: you ought to see me run around and tend to my farm. I can go all day just like used to. I am so thankful to know there is such a good remedy to cure people of pellagra."
 There is no longer any doubt that pel- lagra can be cured. Don't delay until 1t is too late. It is your duty to consult the resourceful Baughn.
 The symptoms-hands red like sum- burn; skin peeling off, sore mouth, thu lips, throat and tongue flaming red. with much mucus and choking; indiges- tion and nausea. either diarrhoea or constipation.
 There is hope; get Baughn's big Free book on Pellagra and learn about the remedy for pellagra that has at last been found. Address American Com. pounding Co. nox 2014, Jasper. Ma rp membering money is refunded in any case where the remedy fails to cure.

father went away he would have to aban- don the stable; he could not bear the ex- pense alone. He used all his powers of argument to induce my father not to throw up his part Joe Jefferson was the leading comedian of the company, and he promised my father that with Miss xeene's consent he would permitNhim any liberty in the scenes they might have to- gether.
 But I have no scenes" said my father; 'I have only about 10 lines"
 We will have scenes,' said Jefferson; i've will make them.
 He persuaded the dejected MT. Stewart to at least attend the first few rehearsals and he did so. Jefferson was as good as his word, of course, and Miss Keene was induced to allow Lord Dundreary much liberty. My mother played Georgina, the part opposite my father, and she and he worked up many lines and replies al home and were allowed to introduce them into the play.
