A COMBINATION
THAT WORKS WELL
Doing an Immense Amount Of Good.

No other medicines possess such
curative properties as these two great
restoratives. Hoods Sarsaparilla and
Peptiron Pills, working together.
They reach the impure, impover-
ished, poisoned, devitalized blood, and
the worn, run down. overworked. ex-
hausted system. They awaken the
appetite, aid digestion, purify and
vitalize the blood, give renewed
strength to the whole body, produce
sound, natural sleep. and a complete
restoration to good health. Two dollars
invested in these two medicines will
bring better results than four dollars
spent in any other course OF treatment
or attendance.
1t will be wise to get Hoods Sarsa-
pariiia and Peptiron Pills today. They
are sold by all druggists everywhere.
Accept no substitutes. 200 doses 81.

are not so new but they are equally
good style.
The skirt is laid in small, single box
p1aits about the waistline, ana the side
bodies in the bodice appear to be cut
in one with it. A narrow band of the
brOcade is extended over the shOul-
ders. The bodice is merely a wide
girdle at the 'front.' with two narrow
bands of brocade across the bust. Silk
lace over silver tissue is introduced
with buttons like those ON the girdle.
1t has a plain back.
AS in many others among the latest
evening frocks the bodice has elbow
sleeves with smart, square, turnback
cuffs. The brocade is cut away at the
top of the sleeves and the space filed
in with lace. To add required depth
of color sash of black velvet ribbon
is an accessory that is worn in the
simplest manner. Silver slippers and
gray silk stockings complete lovely
costume which will be becoming to ev-

1t Is difficult, in this day of gorgeous
and colorful fabrics, for the evening
gown to keep within just the right lin
1t Of display. But in spite of all its
gold and silver cloth and rich brocade
it may practice a reserve that adds to
its distinction. Much glitter and CLEAN
and riotous color, and many vagaries
of style, are more than permissible
they are sought for, and it is left to
the individual taste to choose from
among them.
The lovely frock pictured here is in
light gray silk brocaded with silver
and made with establishment of sill
ver-run lace. There is something
quaint and quakerish that is very en-
gaging in the design, and no one will
grow tired Of the refined interpreta-
tion Of the mode in evening gowns. 1t
is a slim model, with its plain, style
perfectly suited to its color and mate

The choice lies now between white
or black Grape for those who are called
upon to observe a period of mourning.
1t is the material and not the color
which has significance. Custom has
made Grape the insignia of mourning /;
this makes it possible to wear white
instead of black, and removes the OBJ
lection of sombreness. But Grape hats
are worn for shorter periods than
those of mourning silk, which usually
follow them. 1t is admissible to wear
silk during the whole period which Is
to be observed.
In the picture given here three hats
in this particular kind of millinery are
shown. One of them Is of white Grape
made on q sailor shape of medium size.
The frame Is smoothly covered and
the effect Of double brim is given by
a shaped piece of Grape with corded
edge overlaid on the upper brim. The
hat has soft crown and is trimmed
with roses and leaves made of the
Grape. Wells of white. net edged with
narrow borders of Grape are made for
wear with hats of white Grape, and
they are also in white.
An elegant small turban of black
Grape is pictured, worn with a scarf
like cape to match and semlcircular.
The veil is of fine Brussels net bor-
dered with Grape. Grenadine or silk
may be used for the cape. The collar
and border are plain folds of Grape.
A turban of black silk, in a weave
made especially for mourning wear is
very modish with its veil of fancy net
bordered with chiffon. The veil is an
imnnrtant decorative adjunct to the

Russian Coal Supply.

The total coal output Of Russian
mines in the year 1913 was S5,OOO,OOO
tons. The best coal in Russia-partly
anthracite-is obtained in South Rus
sia in the Donetz basin, and these
mines and those of Poland give nine
tenths of the Russian supply. Even
so, however, Russia does not produce
enough coal for her own use; in 1913
the number of tons imported was
9,51O,OOO, most of which was brought
from England.

Touch Of Fur.

Everywhere one finds the touch ot
fur-or the lavish use of fur-and
great cleverness has been shown in the
handling of these fur trimmings, the
ordinary bordering bands being less
in evidence than odd little girdle ar
rangements of fur, fur collars, etc. OF
course, the bordering bands are pOpu-
lar, too, and very wide bands appear
on the bottoms of skirts or tunicS in
afternoon and street models; but these
trimmings, though they are effective
and handsome, are vieux Jeu, and some
of the less striking but more original
fur motifs are more interesting.

Des Moines, jan 21.-The law does
not now tolerate negligence on the
part of the employer that imperils the
life or limb Of the servant the supreme
court pointed out in an opinion on a
damage case handed down yesterday
The case was appealed by the Williams
and Hunting Company, Of Cedar Rap
ids, against whom P.,sE. Correll OBJ
tanned damages in the lower court for
injuries received while in their wood
working shop in the operation of a
saw. 1t was claimed by the company
that it had told Correl to put guard
to the side of the saw but he had failed
to do so. Nevertheless that does not
excuse them from liability in the
opinion of the high court. The court
comments on the liability of a concern
to it's employees as follows:
Men must work to live. There Is a
class of men in the world who depend
upon their daily labor for the n1ainte-
nance of themselves and family. They
are skilled in certain lines of work.
There are men whose business it is to
employ these men for their own pro-
fit. Without the labor Of these men
these institutions could not live or
even thrive. The law has assumed to
protect the wage Garner. Public pol
icy demands that he has protection in
the performance of the worlds work
and enjoins upon the master certain
duties for protection. as indicated in
the acts herein before set out. Even
when these factories and places where
men are required to work are carefully
guarded there is risk ever attendant up
on their labors, risk to life and limb;
these even when the master has used
the highest degree of care for the pro-
lection of the servant. :.-a
THE law, as we read it, does not
tolerate negligence on the part of the
master that imperils the life or limb
of the servant, and SO it says that
where the master has failed to dis
charge his masterial duties, has neg
lected to provide for the safety of his
servant, when it lies within his power
to do So and the danger to the servant
is thereby increased beyond ordinary
hazards incident to the work, the law
says to the master, If you knew that

New Ordinance.
To assist in enforcing the law, the
council has also passed an ordinance
1t is probably as strict liquor law
as any lawmaking body ever enacted.
Good lawyers say the supreme court
will hold it constitutional. In the mean
time, it is being enforced, with a ven-
seance. 49,,
Be 1t ordained by the council of
the city Of Mason City, Iowa: Section
THAT it shall be unlawful for any
person while within the city of Mason
City, Iowa, to resort to, attend, or be
present at any place where intoxicat-
ing liquors are unlawfully or illegally
sold, dispensed or used. Section q
That ii shall be unlawful for any per-

The penalty for violation is fixed at
not exceeding 500 fine or thirty days

There are other things which have:
helped better conditions. Among them
are the coming of the Greek church
into Mason City, the leaven of knowl-
edge which the night schools are
working into the foreign element, the
coffee DEMONSTRATIONS without booze
which have sprung up since the
booze was cut down, and the efforts
the big cement companies are making
to make their men keep clean, and be
good Americans.
! But the big thing is the stopping Of
the booze traffic, and if that were to
start again as of yore, the fights, and
shootings, and cuttings and slashings
would start again, making more work
for hospitals, police and undertakers.
and courts and juries
So Inspector Mason still goes his
rounds of express and railway freight

APPEAL 70 PREJUDICE
sserst Circular Attacks Congressional
Candidate in Frat District Because
Of German Ancestry - Document
Mailed 70 Republican Voters.

| Mailed 70 Republican Voters.
Mount Pleasant. Jan. 21-Tuesday
morning many Of our prominent re-
publicans received circular attack
ing w. F. Kopp's candidacy for con-
gress on the ground that he was Of
German descent and that no one with
German blood in his veins should be
nominated 1t is learned that this cir
cular was also sent to other parts of
the district, but whether the whole
district was covered Is not known. The
circular was in part as follows:
The Germans are particularly ac-
tive in trying to nominate men for
congress on the republican ticket who
are Of German descent. There must
be reason for this. Some Of Presi-
dent Wilson's policies have greatly dis
pleased the Germans. and not being
able to control democratic action, the
German sympathizers are now trying
to secure control Of the republican
party. In this way the bull headed
kaiser will get more friends in con-
gress
This is the real significance Of w.
F.. Kopp's candidacy for congress In
this district, Kopp is of German
descent. and we know that blood Is
thicker than water. In the event Of an
issue between Germany and the United
States, how would Kopp vote?"
Mr.. Kopp first concluded to ignore
the circular altogether, but some Of his
friends felt that such course might
be misunderstood and misconstrued
and has therefore, made a brief reply.
In part he said:
II believe we are all good Americans.
II our country should ever become in
volved in war with any foreign power,
Il am sure we would all be united in
defense of the American flag. The
only rivalry among us would be as to
which could serve his country best"
