story not snew, but worth repeat ing is once again going the rounds, in England. Two bootinakers, whose es- establishments faced each other in the village high street, were very distinct ly rivals. One of them had a son at college and, in the first week of his va cation, there appeared in the shop win dow the motto: "Mens Conscia Recto." His rival oyer tine way was for some time little nonplussed, but within . few days he arose to the occasion and there appeared in his window card bearing the legend, 'Men's and Woni- en's Conscia Recti."-Christian Moni- tor.

BARRELED CONDENSED
MILK NOW is VOGUE.

\ new feature in the retail market
was developed when a leading molasscs
dealer said Monday that condensed milk
now is coming to the city III barrels,
instead of the tin cans. He said:
Downtown the families are now send
ing bottles to the grocery store for con
cnsed milk The grocer draws from a
barrel the amount purchased and puts
fresh paper stopper on the bottle,
takes the money and the transaction is
over.p
The scarcity Of tin cans was given as
the reason for the netry of condensed
milk in bulk in the market. Molasses
and other foods are handled in that
manner and it was asserted that con
denscd milk will keep just as weel in
an alright barrel as in a can and just
as well in a well closed bottle as a can
if kept cool. Anyway, it is said now
that the time of the condensed milk can

to take the place Of heavier dresses.
Linen is just as much a favorite this

that 1t is combined with wolfe or organ

tirely of linen, unrelieved by anything
but perhaps collar Of organdy, are also
considered very smart.
In the white dresses for afternoon
there is nothing daintier than those of
eGorgette crepe trimmed with white
chalk beads or white silk soutache braid
In one rather elaborate model the waist
was literally braided all over, and the
effect was very rich.

A BLUFF CALLED.

The strike ordered by Rowan, the

proved pitiful fizzle. The prompt
action OF the military authorities in
arrestins this noisy buffer, along with
n group vi his followers had a s;.lutary
effect. though We doubt ii important
happenings would have followed il
they had been left alone. In the /.
WV. movement there are many hon
est, wcll-mcaning working men, who
have been mslcd by criminal agit;ltors.
These men, we fancy, came to and be-
gan to think for themselves, when the
government took a hand. The urgLni
zation at best is loose affair
with a, leadership that is incapable Of
inspiring confluence with any consid-
cradle number of reasonable men.
There is a phase Of the ludicrous in
Rcwan's case. He warned the gov
ernors Of Montana and Idaho that
they must release the l. w. VS. from
the jails in these states before Mon
day. Instead Of witnessing gen.
cral emptying Of jails, Rowan found
himself behind the bars. e proved to
be a poor player in a game with
Uncle Sam.
If our government will treat leaders
like Rowan, Campbell and shan
non as enemies of the republic, as
they undoubtedly are, the l. W. ".
danger will soon disappear. We still
