THE YEAR AROUND

Greens, roasting ears, beans, peas,
and all the other farm-grown vegeta-
bles can be canned as successfully as
gooseberries if the directions given
for canning by Miss Bah Bell and Miss
Addie d. Root of the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service of the University of
Missouri are followed. Extension cir

method of canning has just been is
sued. This will be distributed free to
Missouri housewives, the members of
the Girls Canning Clubs organized
by the Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice, and any others interested.
The "cold pack" method described in
this circular is easy but sure. No
failures will result if attempts are
made to can the ordinary farm vege-
tables according to directions given
in this circular.

Both Country and city.

There are many candidates in every
primary who are strong with the resi-
dents of the bigger towns. In every
primary there are men In whom the
country voters have confidence. It
is rarely the case, however, that one
man is equally strong with the farmer
and with the man in the big towns.
The party to whom such man be-
longs is fortunate. Col Fred D. Card

inc friend of labor, and as the one

The Gardner strenqtb.

The Gardner strength in Missouri Is
not conferred in any one locality. The
man in Mcdonald County is as much
interested in Gardner as the man
frora Pike or Buchanan. His strength
is developing in unexpected places, in
communities where farmers have
talked a whole lot about rural credits
and a better Missouri and very little
about politics.

DISARMlNG TIL BODY.

We may point out that alcohol, as
far as the digestive organs are con
-cerned, not only interferes with their
normal digestive functions, but also
destroys their natural powers of pro-
tecting the body from disease. A per-
son who is suffering from alcoholic
dissipation, mild or severe, is less able
to destroy the microbes of disease
which may be taken in with the food,
and is, therefore, far more susceptible
to typhoid fever, cholera, and similar
diseases. The vital resistance to both
heat and cold is also diminished, as
well as resistance to infection, and the
body is thus disarmed to a large ex-
tent of its natural resistive and fight
ing forces, and thus becomes a more
easy prey to sickness, disease and
death.-A. B. Olsen, M. D., D. P. H..

Needless Expense.

A travelling mar for a Boston house
tells of an incident that he observed
in one of the northern towns of Aroo-
stock County. Maine. He was seated
in the smoking room of the station
when a typical Frenchman, from
across the border of Canada, appeared
at the ticket window and asked the
agent for a ticket to Lewiston.

agent.

Separate Capes and
Pelerines

Little separate capes and pelerines,
TO be worn with light summer frocks,
are essentially classy affairs INDUCED
In by comparatively few women. Along
with saddlebag pockets and the hoped
gown, they are for those who are al
ways looking for something new. The
cape, as a part of the street dress or
coat, is more widely accepted, and in
any case there is no smarter accessory
of dress.
To think of capes is to think of silk.
but the capes of today bring many 9TH
er materials to mind as we'll. Taffeta
stands at the head as a ~fayorite in the
list Of available fabrics, which includes
linen, alpaca, crepe. organdie, and
satin. Changeable taffetas trimmed
with ruchings of the silk or with ruch-
lngs of black mOusseline eliminate any
chance of failure if one starts out to
make something creditable in a little
cape.

Negligee of Silver Cloth
and Chiffon

There are negligees-and negligees
made of dainty and colorful fabrics,
and the utmost of luxury is expressed
in some of them. Those of the rich
est materials are frankly extrava-
gances, not made for use but for the
sole purpose of looking pretty-which
is use enough. These picturesque
garments are not intended for the light
of day, except as it is screened and
softened in the bOudOir. They presup-
pose the possession Of other more
practical things for house wear.
One of these fascinating frivolities
is shown in the illustration. Cloth-of-
silver and rose chiffon are combined in
making it.. to their mutual advantage.
A long slip, of the silver tissue, is
yelled with a full straight-hanging
sleeveless o of the chiffon having
Its edges bound with the silver cloth.

yer lace confines the f~ullness of the
chiffon in plaits, and serves another
purpose in weighing it. The binding

the same way.
Rose chiffon and silver lace make
the pretty cap to be worn with this
arlstocrat among negligees. 1t Is fin

of blue serves for the very pretty mod
ell that is shown in the illustration. In
size, this cape takes a middle course
between those that reach almost to the
elbows (they are rare) and brief af-
fairs that barely hold out to the point
of the shoulder. These two extremes
are met with on coats. The cape pic
tured is scalloped and hemmed and
entirely yelled with black silk nous
seine. 1t is made with a high flaring
collar and all it's edges are finished
with a ruching of mousseline gathered
along the middle into scant fullness.
Rather wide black taffeta ribbon
makes a long tie for finishing the
neck. 1t is laid in folds and tackled
down about the neck opening, with
the free ends just long enough to knot
easily. 1t is a support and a finish for
the cape.
Parasols and capes to match are
made for those outdoor affairs of sum-
mertime that call for formal dress.

ruchings made Of narrow strips of silk
frayed at the edges.

Something in These Names.

In an Ohio town is a colored man
whose last name is Washington.
Heaven has blessed him with three
sons.
When the first son arrived the father
PANIED him George Washington. In
due season the second son came. Nat
urally he was christened Booker Wash
ington. When the third man-child
was born his parent was at a loss at
first for a name for him. Finally,
though, he hit on a suitable selection.
The third son, if he lives, will go
through life as Spokane Washington.

FOR PROHIBITION NOW.

TOh TFhOEIA0t lON M W.
Mr.. Alexander Nesbit has been sher-
if of Denver for IL years-and he
didn't vote for prohibition. Here are
some of the many things he said about
the good effects of the law in an in
terview published in the Pueblo Chief
tain:
"The nabitual loafer has disap-
peared. The crowds that used to hang
around the lower end of the city at
free lunch counters have gone Where,
l haven't the least idea. Like last
summers flies, they just disappeared.
Again, the wine rooms are no more
and the after the theater' dinners are
over. There is no place to go except
to the picture shows, and then for a
light lunch and then home, unless
they go to the pool halls. You know
it doesn't take long to get a Lunch
after the theater now. Few people
say have another ON a glass of water.
And the old slogan, Let's have an
other is a misnomer in Denver.
Neither do very many people say:
Let's have another lunch and they
get through and go home. a..
1--WE haven't had a case Of murder
since the first of the year. Our sui
cides are falling off to a great extent;
the mileage of the ambulance and pa
troll wagon is less than 60 per zen of
what it formerly was; our officers on
the beats are treated more courteous
ly; there is a better air morally
around the city; the places where
crime was formerly Matched are gone
and the city is better off in every way
so far as it's police department and
their work is concerned.
Let me- tell you another thing, the
can-rusher, the old soak who came
home with a quarter in his pocket and
sent his eight-year-old, ragged, bare
footed girl to the saloon for a can of
beer and then tossed her a crust of
bread while he swigged the beer and
snarled at her through his drunken
ness, is no longer a resident of Den
yer. You can't get a photograph of
one of these fellows in the city"
DIVORCE LABOR FROM LIQUOR.
"The sooner the labor movement
and the labor press divorces itself
from the liquor business, the quicker
real organization will become posi-
ble," says the Galesburg (Ill.) Labor
News. Our movement advocates the
education, the elevation OF our mem
bership, the securing of better condi-
lions and wages for our membership.
We cannot secure them by a~f1liating
with the greatest power against them"
Another labor paper expresses itself
In much the same strain. 1t says in
part:
MANY trade-union journals and
dozens of the best-known labor lead
ers in America have come out openly
for prohibition. According to the
Plumbers Journal, the liquor interests
are finding out that a lot of men who
drink whisky won't vote for it. The
locomotive engineers, 10000 strong,
have gone on record for the abolition
of the liquor traffic"
Mr.. E. j. keenan,, president of an or
ganization of dry labor union men in
Ohio, says that with the exception of
the brewery workers and %bartenders
every labor union in Cincinnati is
lined up for prohibition. The follow
ing pledge is used by Mr.. keenan,:
I'VE believe the labor movement
will not develop and grow as it should
until the influence of the liquor traffic
is removed"
