Fashions of To Day By May Manton

THERE is no smarter cos-
 \ tune than this one for after-
 noon wear. There is a plain two-piece skirt, there is a simple under bodice and over them arc arranged a draped over bodice and a full tunic. The broadcloth and satin illustrated are smart and handsome and in every way attractive but you could think of this gown as made of many different materials. Velvet for the over-bodiCe, the tunic and the skirt with Gcorgctte for the under-bodicc and the sleeves would be pretty, or you could use a checked or a striped ma terial with a plain one. The back of the bodice is extended to form sash ends. 1 c tunic is joined to the under bodice and the pattern allows of an entire skirt as well as tunic so that you can make a gown or an over dress you like, or you can use the one pattern for two en- tirely different costumes.
 For the medium size the tunic, with over bodice will require, 5 yards of material 54 inches wide, the undcr-bodice I12 yards 3o and the skirt 25S yards 3o.

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Increase in United States Revealed by
Census Taken by National Com
mittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity in the United States is de-
cidedly on the increase. This fact is
revealed by reason of a census taken
of the insane, feebleminded, epileptics,
inebriates and drug addicts by the
National Committee for Mental Hy-
giene. Analysis Of this census is found
in the Mental Hygiene. It was COM
piled by Horatio M. Pollack, statistici-
an Of the New York State Hospital
commission, and Edith NJ. Furbush,
statistician Of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the increase Of population from
April Is, 1910, to January l, 1917, was
11.S0 per cent. The same government
agency found in 1910 that the number
Of insane in institutions was 1877, 701.
The census taken in the present year
revealed 234,055 insane persons in in
situations. Thus the increase in the
insane in institutions during the CORE
spending period was 24.64 per cent, a
growth more than double that of the
general population.
Moreover, the rate Of increase Of the
insane in institutions was relatively
greater than that of the general popu-
lation in every state except Arizona,
Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois is one of the states
in which the disparity between growth
Of population and increase in insan-
ity has been greatest. In this state
the population increase was 9.84 per
cent, as compared with a percentage
Of increase of insane in institutions of
27.3S. The neighboring state, of Indi-
ana shows an even greater disparity,
with percentages of 4.64 and 27.44 re-

LIMBS MADE: OF CARDBOARD
Artificial leg, Invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After Amputation.

A Danish doctor at hospital In
Paris has invented a cardboard leg
which enables the wearer to go about
without crutches two days after his
limb has been amputated.
The materials used are two sheets
of cardboard about three-sixteenth of
an inch thick, and bandages soaked In
a starch solution. After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which after being soaked in
the bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandages.
The principle is that of an egg in
cup, and the patient can wear the leg
long before the wound is completely
healed. He can thus get air and exer-
else, which it is usually impossible to
obtain at this phase Of his GONZALES
cence; also he has to suffer none Of
the inconvenience Of crutches, stick
sufficing for his needs. The leg, prop
erly treated, lasts from six months to
a year, by which time a permanent
artificial limb is ready to be fitted.

YES! MAG|CALLY!
C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little, but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv,

SWEDEN.

Refusal Of the United States to
grant passports to the delegates Of
the international socialist conference
at Stockholm for the discussion Of
peace terms has amazed and hated
the leaders Of that movement. A
Hjalmar Branting, leader of the Scan
dinavian socialist committee arrang~
ing the convention, denounces Ameri
cas- attitude. "This is a declaration
of war against all preliminary peace
work." he says. "But the military
forces alone cannot end the war. It
must be ended by work within the bel,
ligerent nations, and the socialist is
the natural bearer Of this work. De-
spite refusal of passports, the peace
work will continue without working
for any special group of belligerents.
The leaders have. been accused of be-
ing first German, then entente agents,
but internationalism follows it's ideals,
the ideals Of humanity. The refusal
of passports will lead to a rupture be-
tween the governments concerned and
the socialist parties which have been
determined to be represented in the
conference. The decision may lead
to ching consequences. It is
more than doubtful whether this pass
port refusal will not turn out to be a
grave political mistake. AS to how 1t
will affect the Stockholm conference,
the only certainty is that the confer
ence will not be abandoned"
Dr.. Jakob Billstrom, who has in
spected the establishments Of the cap
tives of war that are interned in
Switzerland, found that drunkenness
prevailed to an alarming degree among
them, and he has urged the temper,
ance people Of Sweden to have trans
| lations of Swedish temperance publ
cations distributed among the 10000
German and French soldiers interned

HAITI CLEANS HOUSE.

Changes That Were Brought About by
the American Occupation.
Five years ago in Haiti there was on
the whole island not more than one
mile of macadamized roadway. and the
new streets. taking the place Of combi-
nation trails and sewers, are the most
noticeable changes brought about by
the American occupation.
But more remarkable than the streets
is the astonishing sight Of squads Of
Haitians actually cleaning the streets.
Under the old regime the chief occupa-
tons Of the male citizens of Haiti were
cockfighting and politics.
The refuse and smells have departed,
and, better still. most of the children
have disappeared from the streets.
They are actually at school. where by
Haitian law they are supposed to be.
but where by Haitian lawlessness only
about 10 per cent of them ever used to
be.

There is a growing crusade against
the Fahrenheit thermometer used in all

plea is made that the Centigrade ther-

Centigrade is used for nearly all scien-
tific purposes and is decidedly superior
to the Fahrenheit. but the latter is In
familiar use among the great mass of
people who use heat measuring instru-
ments.
Practically all English speaking peo-
pie use the Fahrenheit scale. even with
all it's Inconvenience. and people who
imagine that they can effect change
