AGAIN SUMMER FU'Rs.

To return to the subject of furs does not require a great effort, for we have been thinking about them all the time
 And we must own that never have summers furs been more charming nor the combination of skins Ca fre- quent trick of the furrier's to display the beauty of his fAvorite Skins by showing off one against the other) more effective
 The type of garment which gives promise of becoming popular is the cape coatee.
 This chic affair is often so short lending at the hips as rule) than one might almost think it a straight strip of fur flung across the shoulders ard kept on by slipping the arms throughh the slits in the sides.
 Often large square piece of fur hangs over the shoulders in three cor nered fashion. Then the points come in the back and front and over the arms and the front closes at the waist and frequently requires the aid of a fur belt to complement it's length On some models the ends of this square of fur fasten together on one shoulder Ca la Italian army capey. Moleskin. that, soft silky pelt, leads in popularity, but it is closely followed by the ever tailed kolinsky and by squirrel in both gray and brown. But if milady does not fancy the i coatee the straight stole bids fair tt win her heart, for it is quite withou any shape of it's own and consequently may be worn in any shape it owner may desire.
 Its looks well, if long. enough, whel it takes a shawl fer it's pattern ant wraps about figure, or it may b flung around the neck with one end il front and the other in back. Or folde,
 in half. it may take the form of a sur plice, crossing down the front In thi
 case >belted in with leather or silk,
 is given an extremely chic finish Fox is favorite for the small neck
 piece. and even the little tulle affai is still seen.

MAURIcE,s RETIREMENT.

Action which was expected as a natural consequence of the position taken by General Maurice in eonnec- ton with the recent attack upon Lloyd George and the British ministry comes in the announcement to the eff feet that he has been removed from his war activities and placed upon the retired list This will place him where he will not be of further trou- ble to the government because he will not be able to get into touch with military affairs as he has in the past.
 That such a move would be made in view of the support which was given to the ministry following his attack must have been anticipated by the general. That he was the goat in the whole affair has been indicated but he should have realized the mistake which he was making by such con- duct while military officer.
 Not satisfied with the affront to the head of the allied forces when he pre- sumed to tell General Foch that he was not handling the French troops in the right way to back up the British, he not only criticised the British min istry for it's acts but claimed that cer- tain members indulged in falsehoods for the purpose of fooling the people 1 He made the great mistake of bring | ing such charges publicly instead of through the regular military channels and by so doing he must have given l no little comfort to the enemy
 through indicating that there was trouble in the British government of 2 serious nature. One in his position should have known better than to have attempted such a thing but it's col.
 lapse made it necessary to take actior
 against him and his retirement ap-
 rears to have been a censure whicf
 under the circumstances might have
 been made more severe.

Views of the Vigilantes

By Rufus Fairchild Zogbaum
 of The Vigilantes


 of The Vigilantes
 Over there the war tide rises higher and higher, surging like the waters of the German Ocean against the shores of Britain, in masses of gray of the Allies lines. In splendid stub- bornnesse of courage the British are standing up against the almost over towering onrush, warding a blow here, stepping back there like a boxer in the ring waiting his chance to counter. fighting, fighting, fighting, with never a thought entering his hard head of throwing up the sponge. And the French. glory be, are coming up flowing in long rivers of blue, as someone has expressed it, into the battle-sea. In imagination I can hear the song of their bugles, as I have so often heard it in reality ringing out as clear as bells through storm thunder. France "bled white"? Not yet, by God! As for ourselves-we full strength, but in 1t for all we are worth; in it to stay until-God will ing-the black barred flag of the Bocne is lowered in defeat.

FOOD QUOTAS.

The man who works hard needs in a day twelve ounces of one or of a combination of the following: Meat, poultry, cheese, dried vegetables, fish or eggs. To vary the above he may count every glass of milk drunk equal to an ounce of any one of the others. The soldiers, either in home or mili- tary life must have four pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables in order to keep the bony structure in good con- dition. He will need the three quarters of a cupful of fat (this in- cludes butter, oil, the fat of meat eaten or any other fat in the daily diet) to keep Ihim warm, and to this group ha must add one and onefourth pounds of bread or cereal. and finally, in order to complete the necessary amount of driving power he must have two ounces of sugar or one-third of a cup full of sirup.

INSTEAD OF WOOL.

A sweater that is just about as req sonable as the wool sweater but which is as luxurious as the all silk variety can be made from the silk fiber. This lovely shining rope now comes in bundles at $1.25 each. To make a short slip-on sweater it takes just four hanks. bringing the cost of the slip-on to $5. The colors are particu- larly lovely in the shimmery fgre silk and it works up every bit as we'll as wool, say those who have tried it. After all, warmth is not the first ob- ject of the summer slip-on, and if pretty effects can be had from the fibre silk it is worth cultivating in the cause of conservation

THE PRICE OF SUBSTITUTES,

Food Administrator Hoover has ap- parently been listening to some of the complaints made by the users of sub stitute for wheat. if we judge rightly from the announcements which have been made to food administrators in the different states to the effect that wheat four substitutes should sell for from 10 to 20 per cent. less than wheat -four.
 One of the things which it has been impossible to understand is the fix ing of the price of wheat while the substitutes for wheat have been al- lowed to go up and up and up as the people have reduced their use of that food material and complied with the demands that substitutes be used It has been frequently reported and fully recognized that there has been quantities of the substitutes in most cases, that these substitutes are not desired abroad or as easily. exported as is wheat, but to use them and thus reduce the wheat consumption in this country big item of expense has heen thrown onto the consumers. The position of the householder has been much the same as that of the farmer with large holdings of wheat who could not understand why he should not feed wheat to his livestock inas much as he could get only $22O 3 bushel for it when if he used corn ol other grain it would cost him about twice as much to keep his farm going
 It therefore appears to be a timely move on the part of MT. Hoover wher he directs the state administrators tc order wholesalers to stop dealing witt retailers who cannot justify theil prices on the basis of the cost prices and points out that corn and oat mea should sell for 20 per cent less thar wheat flour and corn and barley fou! for ten per cent. less.

This country has been working to the limit for the purpose of increas- ing the number of ships. The indus tries of the nation have been turned over to the production of war SUD- plies and for years factories have been busy getting out small arms not cnly for the United States but for our allies. There has been marked &C., tivity in behalf of securing a bigger and stronger navy, while the needs of other branches of the war machine have not been ignored even though not as good progress has been made in connection with airplanes and heavy guns as could be desired.
 The war needs of the country in all directions are of the utmost import snce and it is with interest that it is

Never wash sheer blouse or col far without mending any tiny rips or breaks that may have appeared, or without removing possible stains. It is well to remember-says g. writer in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, that most but not all, fruit stains and those made by tea or coffee can be removed by pouring boiling water over the spot. Bloodstains should bel soaked in cold water, then washed in cold water then in warm water with plenty of soap. Ink spots should be rinsed in repeated cold waters, then soaked in milk. Neither cold water nor milk will fix a stain.

MADONNA CAPE.

Capes have evidently made good, for they are shown now in all the better shops and not few are seen worn by well dressed women It is a draped style with arm hole or wide sleeve in one side only. The other side falls loosely or can be caught up with a snap fastener to form an opening for the hand The straight hanging styles are perhaps best, either with or with out body part or vestee. Some have merely extended collar ends or tabs that cross and fasten around the waist.

\ HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Should you be troubled with erup- tions on the skin, try applying a bit of zinc ointment, which can be purchased at any drug store There are various makes of the ointment, but almost any one of them is good. This will dry the eruption and it will soon disappear. Do not make a practice, however, of using the zinc ointment too frequently. as it's tendency is to dry the skin. For a dry skin massage frequently with a good cold cream and for an oily complexion bathe the face with water in which a few drops of benzoin have been dis solved or with camphor water The latter is also good for large pores.

A predisposition to cold-sores Il

A predisposition to cold-sores us ually indicates a digestive disturbance, which should be corrected. Exposure to wind will also cause them. Soften ing them several times day with vaseline or cold cream will help to relieve the pain. Spirits of camphor will check them if used when they first appear. If they form a blister they should be opened with a, sterile needle, and care must be taken to avoid in- lection. They should be bathed sev- eral times a day with peroxide of hydrogen.
