she keeps in good repair and makes

The needs of nearly every woman
differ greatly; what would be a SEN
sible economy for one would be a wild
extravaganza for another. Everything
depends on the income and the mode
Of life. Yet there are a few general
rules that apply to all. The first Of
these is always to get as good mate
rial as possible. By this / do not nee
essarily mean the most expensive, but
well-made fabrics suitable for the pur-
pose for which the purchaser wants
them. Very cheap goods are expen-
sive at any price, for they will not
wear. Rather one pair of neat, WELL
made shoes that will last all winter
and sometimes take one into the next
season, than two cheap pairs that fall
to pieces in two months. The same
is true of very cheap gloves, stockings
or underwear. If you have not the
money to buy something serviceable,
1t is best to wear the old things little
longer until the Is or 80 cents on the
gloves and perhaps the dollar extrs
on the shoes can be saved.

TRIES KOREAN LEPR0SY CURE
Leper confesses He Killed Boy to OBJ
tain Human Flesh to Cure
Disease.

Seoul, Korea.-Justifying his act by
the Korean superstition that the eat
ing of human flesh is a cure for lep-
rosy, Korean leper named Sin
Yungsyun has confessed to the MUIR
der Of a five-year-old boy, whose multi
ated body was discovered in a field in
South ChOlla province. According to
the police, the accused also admitted
that with another leper he killed a
girl in the mountains on September Is,
and that both had eaten of her flesh.
Lepers In Korea hitherto led a mis-
cradle life. With the exception of
those cared for by missionaries In a
small hospital near Fusan, they have
been left to roam at will and exc out
their own living. The superstition as
to cannibal cure is very general.
Count Terauchi, until recently gov
ernor general, took up the leper prob
lem vigorously last year and as a re-
suit an island called Sorok, of the
southern coast of Korea, has been Sc
lected as the seat of leper asylum.
1t Is proposed to take in at first some
hundreds Of lepers selected from the
10 provinces in proportion to the num-
Der In each. During their stay on the
island the lepers will be taught mod
ern farming.

New York.-As far back as one can
look into the annals Of American
fashions, the possession of a sealskin

vanity or tried to look unconscious of
the envy of her neighbOrs.
Other times, other wishes. Three
decades have passed since the seal

bitter protest.

her to "dress up" remarks a contrib

This frock she buys at a mid-season

three winters. She buys a long coat
every three years at from SIS to $50.
These things save her best suit so
that 1t looks perfectly fresh for two

Is liable to chafe under the harness

fitted. This chatting is likely to cause
abrasions of the skin, and thus pave
the way for an abscess or for a
chronic blemish, unless attended to
very promptly. Besides causing the
animal considerable pain, chatting, II
long continued. leads to the formation
of callosity. This may be super
fetal, involving only the skin. or il
may be deep-seated, involving the sub
cutaneOus fibrou3 tissue and sometimes
the muscles and even the bone. This
causes dry slough to form, which is
both incOnvenient and unsightly.
Sloughs of this kind are commonly
called "sitfasts" and, while they occur
In other places. are most frequently
found under the saddle.
Treatment.
Chatting Is best prevented by bring
ing the animal gradually into working
shape after 1t has had q prolonged
rest, In order that the muscles may be
hard and the skin tough. The harness
should be well fitted, neither too large
nor too small, and it should be cleaned
and oiled to remove all dirt and to
make it soft and pliable. Saddles
should be properly fitted so as t6 pre-
vent direct pressure on the spine. and
the saddle blankets should be clean
and dry. Parts of the horse where
chatting Is likely to occur, as on the
back under the saddle, should be
cleaned and brushed free of dirt.
The remedies for simple harness
gals are numerous. Among them may
be mentioned alcohol, one pint. in
which are well shaken the whites of
two eggs; solution Of nitrate of sill
yer, ten grains to the ounce of water;
sugar of lead or sulphate of zinc, 20
grains to an ounce of water; carbolic
acid, one part in Is parts of glycerin.
Any simple astringent wash or powder
will effect a cure, provided the sores
are not irritated by friction.
If a sitfast has developed, the dedd
hOrnlike slough must be carefully cut
out and the wound treated carefully
with antiseptics. During treatment II
is always best to allow the animal to
rest, but If this is inconvenient care
should be taken to prevent injury to
the wounded surface by padding the
harness so that chatting cannot occur.

we expect to change primitive instinct
merely because We have changed our
behavior? And then, there is nothing
else that keeps one so warm as peltry,
one may argue. This reasoning, how
ever. has little to do with the fact.

"Thank You'S,"
TRIP COST HIM ONLY s1.55
His Longest Ride Was 1925 Miles, His
Shortest 1925 Feet, When Farmer,
Taking Him for Bandit, Made
Him Get Out.

New YOrk.-The value of good ap-
pearance, polite manners and faith in
human nature has just 6een demon
strated by Charles Brown, Jr., young
Californian who is taking course in
magazine writing at New York univer-
sity. Brown recently accomplished a
necessary journey from Fort Wayne,
Ind, to New York city, distance of
nearly 1000 miles over the Lincoln
highway, riding practically the whole
journey in automobiles, at a total
money expense Of $1.55. The trip was
completed in just seven days.
According to the students story, he
was stranded in Fort Wayne and was
without money only few days before
he was due in New York to enter upon
his course. While he was sitting near
a water tank contemplating the chances
of beating" his way on freight, he
saw an automobile speeding along the
road that paralleled the tracks. He
watched it pass out Of sight; then his
inspiration came.
He counted his money and found
that he had $3.50. His next act was to
visit barber shop and get a bath. a
shave and haircut. He also invested
in clean shirt, a collar, clothes brush
and box of shoe polish. He had his
hat cleaned and blocked and q new
band put on 1t. Seeking a tailor, he
sat with blanket wrapped around him
while his clothes were being sponged
and pressed. All these expenditures
left him S1.65. q
Found the Game Easy.
After walking along the Lincoln
highway to the outskirts of Fort Wayne
Brown saw his first chance coming
down the road. At the steering wheel
was huge bulk of a man with tor
tOise shell spectacles and coarse black
whiSkers. AS 1t turned out, he was a
physician answering an emergency
call of patient. Brown threw up his
arm and signaled the doctor to stop.

Off" he asked
"hCiC are yOu SOluS,
"New York city"
The physician, with look Of amaze
ment, threw open the door and Brown
got in. Then the student tod his bene-
factor that he expected to reach the
metropolis in a very short time by rid
ing in different automobiles. The doc
tor became so interested in the young
mans story that he ran ten miles be-
yOnd his patient.
That night Brown slept in a barn.
The next morning. after he had
groomed two horses, q farmland
brought him a plate Of fried ham and
potatoes. BY six o'clock he was rid
ing on milk truck. At nine o'clock
an insurance agent invited him to ride
In his car until noon. In the after
noon he rode with a schOolteacher
whose machine he had cranked. When
it grew too dark to travel he stopped
at a farmhouse and paid for his
nights lodging by helping to husk
corn.
Walked Only q Few Miles.
The longest ride he had in one auto
mobile was 125 miles. The shortest
ride was less than 125 feet. This was
