VANITY, THY NAME
is WOMAN

But who would have our
wives, mothers, daughters and
sweethearts without that touch
of vanity that prompts them to
look their best for our sake?
Surely, it makes them the more
attractive and the more lovable.
We have right here a won
derful showing of those many
little helps most needed, and
you cannot please the women
of the household more than to
add TO their vanity aids by a
selection from our large and
varied stock of mirrors, brushes,
combs, pins, hair ornaments and
toilet sets.
Gifts need not be costly to
please. The care that is given
the selection counts far more,
and any woman would be de-
lighted with selection from
our many novel and individual
designs.
The time when you need help
is here-we can give you the
real help that you need.

First Street Car in
Service 65 Years Ago

NEW YORK, Nov. 266.-Sixty-five
years ago today the first street railway
ear was exhibited and tried at the opening
Of the New York and Harlem road, on
which occasysp il was used ny the mayor
and city %couacil. To John Stephenson is
Inc the credit OF having designed and con
structcd this first street railway ear. The
ear was of an omnibus pattern, built in
three compartments, entered from the side
and each holding ten persons, and with
three seats on the root for 80 more passen-
gers. II was drawn by horses.
The public at first did not take very
kindly to the new method of transportation
and continued for some years to give lis
patronage to the omnibuses. BY 1853,
however, the street cars came into general
favor. Boston was the second city To be
gin the construction of horse-car lines in
1856, in Philadelphia In 1857 and New Or
leans in 1861, using for the first time the
one-horse small ear usually known As the
"bob-tail."

WHY SOME GARDENERS LOST.

ONE woman in Oklahoma City lost all OF the potatoes
in her backyard garden. Another has no tomatoes
since the bugs destroyed the plants just they devourcd
the potato vegetation Others bring reports of damage to
plant life, and these amateur gardeners puzzled to
know why they succeed just of their neigh
bors do in developing prize vegetables
The answer is so simple that wonderment expressed
that every gardener had thought of the way
to prevent insects consuming the leaves and flowers of
plants Here's the reason
IF WATER is PLACED IN A PAN AND KEPT
CONTINUOUSLY IN The GARDEN THE aBIRDS
WILL REMAIN THERE AND EXTERMINATE THE
PESTS
Now some city gardeners know this and make it their
principal business to supply cool water many times each
day OF course the auey little sparrows get most of the
water, but while they drinking deep Of natures
they are work picking insects from the ground
from the tender branches of the young plants.
No has good word speak of tn. pesky sparrows
This little fellow is the enemy Of the song birds He drives
the musical mocking bird other cimes he chases the
CHEEKY robin red breast out OF town he is hostile the
blue bird and the red bird And while no one stands
sponsor for the sparrow must give the devil his due
and extend credit this feathered chap that keeps the
garden free from bugs
While the sparrow is busy eating few million bugs
each season. he also cats of the lettuce this variety
appearing to be his special decacy But it is good in
vestnent to have bed Of lettuce especially for the birds
that will establish homes and become wa,chdogs of the
backyard garden.
While home owners would prefer to have other species
OF birds hop about on the lawn and in the garden the
sparrow has preemped the dooryard and the only way
to get rid OF him is 10 withhold the supply of water When
that is done the bugs then take possession of the place
the high cost of living boosted few points and
the owner OF garden is forced pa,roni1e the green
grocer
So choosing between two evils is well TO see that an
abundance of water is kept in the garden also bed of
lettuce will be good bal, supplement the water We can
accept the sparrow and be Of garden or we can
Danish the sparrow and let the bugs have the garden
That's the situation. The backyard gardener can make
his choice
