In the Little House

there are, among other rare things, a pair of cabinets made here, but
set with Coromandel panels from the Far East. They are lovely in
color with their rose and white and gold designs o a black background,
and worthy to be the chief note of decoration in a dining O living
room.
Another such pair of cabinets are of old Chinese LACQUER, red and
gold and black, very fine in execution and detail. These are on bases
of polished black wood.
The Little House is full of such things and it is not too late to
choose them for gifts.

Women's Fine Goats Reduced
Nov 500 to $3.50

IA the savings range from $5 to $45 on each coat, you will see
that the reductions are quite important.
The coats themselves are of beautiful fabrcs-such things as
fine wool velours, velvety Zenobias and soft evoras and boivias.
They are made in distinctive though conservative styles and are
such coats as women might use o. the street or for afternoon or better
wear. All are richly lined and all are handsomely fur trimmed-some
with great square collars of gistening lynx, others with beaver, or
with Hudson seal (sheared muskrat).
Usually there is but one coat of a style-and the colors are such
fashionable shades as taupes and browns and blues, as well as some
stunning all-black coats.

is and as it will be; now that the
sultan and German influence will be
taken away.
Ir speaking of great strides heinz
made today, Mrs. Bryan mentioned

said.
"This war has brought possibilities
Of which we have never dreamed
First, the possibility of single

under for centuries. Second, the pos

The annual report for the year

the chief of the bureau of Animal
Industry to Secretary of Agriculture
David f. Houston, shows that whole
carcasses of 81 cattle and 664
calves, sucering from Texas fever,
We're condemned by government in
spectors at slaughter houses having
such inspection, as unfit for human
food and dumped into the rendering
tanks.
Reports from reliable cattle own
ers throughout Florida indicate that
the losses on undippcd cattle have
been very he2vy during the present
winter, but that tick free and dipped
stock have withstood the unfavor
able conditions very we'll.
Ell losses, both in death or enact
lated condition of cattle caused b.
cattle fever ticks, is wanton vast,

stopped by eradication of the cattl,
