Breakfast Wear,

Following the lead in coats, and
dresses the new breakfast negligees
are made on the lines of wrap
fastened at the throat and the waist,
flying loose thence to the skirt hem.
These breakfast coats, as they are
known, may be made Of silk, of satin,
crepe de chine or crepe gcorgette.
They are voluminous in their lines and
are to be held in charming pastel tones
as well as In the vivid colors which
have become associated with the art
Of Bakst. Generally speaking the
breakfast coats have wide collars that
are not unlike capes, and these are
edged with lace or with self ruches.
The sleeves are short and very wide
at their terminals. Pockets are con-
sidered an essential feature. and as
there can be no real negligees without
ribbons there Is either a girdle of the
latter or great bows. placed front and
back of the waist and on the sleeves
and neck.

CHANGE IN SHEEP INDUSTRY
for Mutton, With Wool A. Incl.
dent-Merinos Favored.

It is a remarkable fact that within
the past thirty-fve years the sheep OF
the United States have changed won
derfully. Formerly two-thirds were
little Merinos and were raised mainly
for wool, with mutton as the incident,
whereas today two-thirds are English
mutton sheep raised for meat, and
with the wool as the incident. There
are many Merinos on the Western
ranges, but most Of them are fully one
third larger than they were in 1882,
when there were plenty Of sheep and
not enough good muttons to talk about.
The change was caused by the con-
tinual reduction In the price Of wool,
which closed many wool growers out
of business. Now that the change has
taken place, it is very good for those
who remain or intend to go into the
business.

DIFFERENT RATION FOR soWs
Rack Containing Alfalfa Should Be
So Placed That Hogs May Have
Free Access to lt.

Brood sows generally suffer from
overlooking rather than from under
feeding. An abundance of fat Is the
worst enemy Of the litter. Sows that
are to raise pigs should be taken away
from the rest Of the hogs and be fed
a different ration. Three good rations
are: ~ One part high-grade tankage,
- parts corn; (2) skim milk or butter
milk and corn, using three parts Of
the milk to one part Of corn i;
(3) wheat and shorts. Whichever one
of these rations is used, a rack con-
tanning alfalfa should be SO placed
that the hogs have free access to the
hay at all times. In addition the sows
should be supplied with minerals. It
is a good plan to dump the wood and
coal ashes in the lot where the sows
run. A mixture composed Of basket
of charcoal or fine coal, s pounds Of
salt, pounds of air-slaked lime, and
2 pounds Of sulphur will give good re-
turns If kept easily available.

CATTLE TO RAISE FOR BEEF
Conformation and Physical charae.
teristies Naturally Adapted for
Fattening Are Essential.

By J. L ToRMEY.. University of Wis
cOnSin.)
Anyone who expects to feed cattle
probably for the market should not
try to feed an animal that is not by
conformation and other physical char
acteristics naturally adapted for fat
tening. In short, only good feeders
should be selected.
The good feeder comes from parents
that are good feeders and whose an
cestry is of good feeding stock, accus-
toned to consume large amounts of
feed and deposit it upon their bodies
as meat of good quality. The impor-
lance of good breeding upon the quail
ity Of animals kept for a specific pur-
pose cannot be overesumated, and
the use of purebred sires in estab-
fishing good working herds cannot be
overvalued.

tassel hanging from silver ornament.
1t Is beautifully mounted in silver
mounting with chain handle. The bag
at the center is made of a splendid
brocade in silver on a heavy black
satin ribbon and Is finished with silver
tassel and ornament. The mounting
is beautifully closed and suspended
by a silver chain.
The bag at the right of the picture
has hinged mounting that flattens
when 1t Is closed. 1t Is of gilt and
silver with silver chain. The heavy
brocaded ribbon that forms the bag
is in rich colors, in which gold threads
are woven, and has n black border.
The brocaded flowers are in Chinese
design and splendid silk tassel is of
the same Oriental origin.
There are other bags among new
things at the ribbon counter that are
made without metal mountings, and
they are all displayed to demonstrate
how ribbons may be used for dress
accessories of the richest sort.

GIVE HOGS MORE ATTENTION
A. Margin Of Profit Becomes Less 1t
Behooves Farmer to Abandon Old
6ltpshod Methods.

It Is usually considered that the
sow must on the average raise at
least five pigs in order to make any
profit for the farmer. II this is true,
and If the price of hogs In the last
years has not kept pace with the ad-
vancing price Of grains. as some farm
ers think, it becomes at once apparent
that the SOW must raise as many pigs
now. AS the margin Of profit be-
comes less it becomes necessary to
abandon the slipshod methods and
devote more attention to the care and
management Of the enterprise con-
cerned.

For Country Club and Sports Wear

The Country Club" hat has arrived
In the ranks of the sports hat with
a title that impels respect and merits
that deserve it. All quarters of the
globe have been ransacked to provide
this aristocrat in millinery for women
who are devoted to outdoor life ana
there are wonderful weaves in straw
hats from China, Japan, India, the
Hawaiian islands, South America, and
our own land. The shapes are much
like those of sports hats which were
launched for spring Of which three are
pictured in the group above.
The Country Club" hat is most sim
ply trimmed with a band and bow
of narrow ribbon, often like 1t In color.
There is nothing tame about 1t in spite
Of this simplicity, for 1t has the cour-
age Of color and comes in all the more
or less vivid shades which hats for
sports wear have made the vogue. Be-
sides white, there are emerald, gold,
purple, rose, turquoise, apple green,
chartreuse and navy in the gay process
sion, and two-toned hats-in certain
weaves with underbrims in contrasting
colors.
These last shapes for country and
sports wear represent the utmost in eff
fort Of expert block makers. They are
Intended to meet the demands Of wom-

must fit comfortably to begin with.

Eleven mlluOu Ludlo CIlAcuS AAo"
twenty-one to thirty years old. inclu-
sive, will be subject to draft by the
president Of the United States.
But in order that men under twenty
one and over thirty may serve their
country If they SO desire, the measure
provides for the acceptance OF volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
forty years.
The gigantic number Of men subject
to draft will not all be called to the
colors by any means. The proposed
law gives authority to the president to
draft as many men as he deems nee
essary to fill up the regular army, the
National Guard and the CONSUMPTION
force Of 1000, 600 men.
200, 900 Armed Men.
1t is estimated by the war depart
ment that as result Of the authority
conferred and the action to be taken
2,0O1 600 officers and men will COM
prise the military establishment OF the
United States.
Under the new bill agreed to author
ity is given to fill up by draft the reg
ular army and the National Guard to
war strength, and to raise outside this
100000 men, 100000 to come as the
first quota.
The war strength of the regular
army is about 100000 men. It has
now about 49,, 900 men and Is short
about $4,000. The National Guard
has war strength of 825,OOO men. 1t
has now about 125,0O0 and is short
about 100000 men.
Therefore, on the first call there can
be taken for war service about 655, O0n
men to fill up gaps in the regular army
and National Guard and In addition
100000 as the first quota Of the con-
script army of 100000 men.
In the first draft 1t Is possible about
LBS 600 men will be taken for active
service. leaving authorization under
the present bill to call out immedi-
ately $4,000 more for another con-
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.
The action allowing Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for
eign service has been eliminated.
What the colonel will do no. that
his pet project is incapable of realiza-
ton Is a question. 1t Is generally I'M
derstood that President Wilson Is abb
solutely opposed to the idea Of a vol
unteer organization under command Of
the colonel.
PAY for enlisted men and nom
commissioned officers was agreed upon
as follows:
Men now receiving less than $21
per month are increased to $31 per
month; those who received $24 are
increased to 1872 men who receive $50,
500 or $40 are increased SO each; men
who receive $45 are increased to $50.
Army offieers Pleased.
Army officers received notice Of the
age limit with pleasure. They had
expected a higher maximum, though
they would rather have had the orig
inal ages Of nineteen to twenty-five.
A new section In the bill authorizes
the president to organize and equip
three machine-gun companies for
each infantry and cavalry brigade
and four machine-gun companies and
an armored motorcar for each in
fantry and cavalry division.
An interesting change Is that the
draft will not be based upon the num-
Der Of persons available for serv-
ice," as first proposed. but upon the
population.
A man may register by mail, II nee
essary. Fraud in registration, exam
ination. etc., IL punishable by the

rect"
Dry Clause Drastic.
The prohibition provision Is exceed
ingly drastic. The president Is au-
thorized to make regulations govern
ing the prohibition of alcoholic liquors
"in or near" military camps. Not
only can liquor not be sold or sup
piled but it will be illegal for any
person to have in his possession any
Intoxicating or spirituous liquors at
any military station, cantonment,
camp, fort, post or officers or enlisted
mems club.
1t will be unlawful for anyone to
sell intoxicating liquor, including
beer. to any officer or member OF the
military forces while in uniform.
Likewise, the social evil Is guarded
against through the suppression and
prevention Of the setting up Of any
houses used for immoral purposes.
The fact that under the authority
Of congress the president is author
lied to call II. 600, 600 men to the colors
Is expected to have a great moral ef-
feet in Germany. It Is quite true that
the entire force he can commander
at this time will number two and a
quarter million. But even this num-
Der would constitute a reinforcement
which British and French officers say
would assure victory If employed In
France.
Could Relieve British.
England to date has raised some
1900, 900 men. With the exception Of
couple Of million these men are at
the front in France, Belgium, Egypt,
the Balkans and Mesopotamia.
What the president and Secretary
Baker desire first and above all Is to
train the officers and men. When they
are ready to fight the drilled troops of
Germany. then probably they will be
sent abroad, and not before.
But Germany doubtless will watch
with increasing anxiety the prepared
ness Of the American people and will
realize that peace will be most desir-
able and necessary, before they are
ready for service In France.
Officers Go to France.
Three army medical officers-Maj.
William L. Keller and Capts. Daniel P.
Gard and George NJ. Edwards-were
assigned to duty at the French military
hospital at Ris Orangis, France.
Organization Of two reserve air
squadrons for the army was authorized

cadets would have completed their
course In June, 1918.
Women Form Committee.
The woman's liberty loan committee
has been formed. Announcement to

partment.
The committee met In the office Of

THIS FARMER IS
FIXED FOR LIFE
He Sells His Farm and Buys
Liberty Loan Bonds for
$4,000

MONClE. IND, Oct. 11.-BecRuse he
wishes to be fixed for life" and not
have 70 worry further about a living
farmer whose name the general corn
mittee on the Liberty loan bond sales
Will not give, is selling his great farm
this week and with $4,000 cash from
the proceeds will invest in Liberty
bonds. At 4 per cent. he will have &
certain and stable income at $50 Il week
until 1942. at least, with all his princi-
pal safe BY the time the bonds are re-
deemed he expects to be dead. He told
the committee with which he agreed TO
subscribe that sum. that no wished to
continue work the remainder of hts life
as actively az before. but was buying
the bonds in order that he might not
have TO worry about making a living
while he was engaged in any kind Of
business he might care to follow.
Because the government has given
me this opportunity 70 have a safe liv-
ing positively assured for the rest Of my
life. 1 shall feel free to do things in n
business way that I've always wished
10 do. and not without having the fear
I've felt before that something might
happen 70 make me lose my property"
he said.
Another farmer has already paid s5.-
600 cash for Liberty bonds for much
the same reason. From the early sub
scriptions the committee says there are
indications that Delaware county farm
ers viii buy more OF the bonds than the
city people.
