Two important facts stand out In the fashions for winter which nave just begun their career. The extra ordinary display of peltry is one. and the iuxtaposition of different mate rials is the other.
 The first fashion spells extrava- rance; the second stands for econ omy. It is the latter in which the great majority of women should be lightfuI inconsistency which makes the race charming, they pay more at tention to the extravagant fashion and allow 1t to absorb the better part of their thoughts on dress.
 The last savage instinct to exist in a woman is her desire for pieces of fur to adorn her person. There was once time when peitry belonged to winter and was needed for protcc- ton, and this excuse was used by every woman who could fi1ch money from the housekeeping allowance to buy bit of fur to go about her neck 1; but this flimsy excuse has faded into the background since it has been the fashion to be as prolific with fur in hot weather as in cold weather.
 Much of the interest in clothes has been weakened, from an artistic point Of view, by the refusal of women to regard the importance of dressing in a seasonable manner.
 wWhen summer had it's clothes and winter produced those that belonged
 cl,o r2 2Sf in feminine apparel. The shops made money by it, the women were made comfortable about it and they took to themselves something of the joy- ous changes of Nature and presented the green leaf and the white snow as pleasing changes.
 Over in Europe, however, the wom- on took it into their heads to keep to the same kind of clothes throughout the twelve months, merely because one or more summers over there were distinctly colder than they had been and the Temperature demanded suit able apparel. Here in America, where the summers are as hot as in the tropics, the women srasped the Euro pean fashion, regardless of it's lack If suitability to our climate. and wore velvet hats and foxes about their necks under the beating afternoon suns of August.
 At the beginning of this fashion, the shopkeepers were it's most per sistent advocates. They saw chance to release every garment in their stock without having to hold it over through the season; but commercial Qptinlisri on this point has shown signs Of leaking out for the reason that women find tnat they are not compelled by the seasons to buy new clothes and that uniform dressing throughout the twelve months of the calendar permits them to economize whenever necessary.
 PELTING WOMEN WITH PELTRY
 The appearance of a group of wom en on the street on a cool morning suggests that some dynamic force has been pelting them with pieces of fur in hit or miss fashion.
 There is no plan of action running through the scheme of dressing. Wherever a piece of fur has hit froclx there it remains. It may be on the head. the waist, the ankles or the back.
 Unless one sees through observing eyes that find amusing episodes in the use of new fashions by women, one may not see this peculiar effect that large number of women pro. duce, spotted as they are. by the hide of every animal that can be caught

provide enough warmth to a coat suit against low temperature.
 By the way, why does it not occur anklets of fur? We have become quite obsessed with the idea of going to museums to get suggestions, for l modern clothes from ancient and l sometimes savage raiment, and as long as we are copying the designs of the Incas, reviving the embroidery of the Filipino, copying . porcelain of China, adopting the armlets of ancient Egypt, why. should we not take up the furry anklets that we see in comic opera when it has been Sea Islands?
 Anlxlets have already been exploit ed by dancers, but they were made of jeweled lace or cloth of gold set with colored crystals, and not few of the new French clothes strongly suggest the anklet by having the drapery of the skirt pulled into the
 ankle and fastening it there with a | jeweled band.
 Now the wide anklet of fur lined with satin or crepe de chine would be a pro- tection worth having in cold weather, and the woman who insists upon wear Ing low shoes on winetr days might find a fascinating new fashion in draw ing attention to them by adding a To- Inch anklet of sealskin above the in step covered with it's silk stocking. Let some furrier take 1t up and see how | women accept it.
 THE BLOUSE OF THE HOUR The second fact of importance in fash ion which was stated in the beginning | of this story is the furtherance of eco- nomical ideas in dress by Joining to- gether whatever materials one likes to accomplish a suit or a frock.
 | In this one respect, fashion has turned a somersault over the intervening dec- | q fashion that is. Those who were shrewd enough to foretell scarcity of 1 worsted materials in the world warned us that a season would soon break in which the uniform line of color and fabric from chin to ankle must be aban- doned. That hour has approached more rapidly than even the prophets foretold. l At the moment, we are not aware that 1 there is any exasperating need of such economy, but preparedness is the best way to face an approaching truth. Therefore. the world of dressmakers has given women to understand that 1t is no longer necessary to have a coat that matches a skirt or a blouse that
 matches eithers no matter for what oc- casion the costume is intended. Even for the most ceremonial hours, such as

RECOGNITION OF LABOR.

Perhaps the real significance of the recent meeting of
the American Federation of Labor at Buffalo has not
been realized by the great body Of the people, and few of
the Journals of the country have touched upon that
significance At that meeting, for the first time in
American history the President of the United States an
peared before convention of American workingmen,

Mandamus Granted.

The Messenger: Mention
was made recently of the case
of the St. Johns State Bank
and Apache County VS.. Joe
Burgess, county treasurer,
which was suit for mandamus
to compel him to deposit the
money of the county in the St.
Johns State bank. This case
was tried last month and TAX
en- under advisement by Judge
Perkins of Flagstaff, Arizona,
before whom the case was tried.
He has just rendered his de-
cision and granted the manda-
mus prayer for. His decision
holds that the St. Johns State
bank having been legally de-
signated as a county depository
for county monies, was entitled
to have the county monies de-
posted with it. The county
treasurer, Joe Burgess has for
some time been depositing the
county monies with another
bank at st. Johns which paid
no interest thereon. The county
treasurer in his answer con-
tended that the county trea-
surer had the right to cancel
his designation with the st.
Johns bank as depository and
to deposit the money in any
bank that suited him, but the
court held against him. !

CHLORIDE MAN FOUND
 DEAD ON THE DESERT

John w. Johnson, a member of Chloride Miners Union, was found dead on the desert near Hart, Cali fornia, October 11th, and buried the same day at that place. Such mea- ger details as have been received here by telegraph indicate that Mir. John son became lost and perished from thirst.
 He was well known in Chloride and was the man that was nearly killed in the Tennessee mine last month when the bucket containing Joe Fil- Der and V. G. Savala became detached from the rope and plunged with them to their death, nearly striking John son, who was working in or near the bottom of the winze. He left here about two weeks ago, and the sad news of his death caused great surprise and has cast spell of gloom over his friends here.

SALTS F BACKACHY
 AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating meat for @ while if your Bladder
 troubles you

When you wake up with baelrache and dull misery in the kidney region it gen orally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-mown authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of Paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the body's urinous waste. else you have baekache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable physi- elan at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes ana lemon juice, combined with Ethia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine So it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness
 lad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful effer- Eescent ithia-WsteT drink,
