Now is the day of all sorts of service
suits-Overettes, war overalls, coat and
breeches, mountain suits and others
that mark the departures of women in
10 new fields of work and into new
kinds of convenient clothes for outdoor
and even for indoor wear. Meantime
the reliable and time-hOnored gingham
house dress Is service suit that shows
no sign of losing It's popularity.
Gingham and gingham patterns in
other materials lead in point of popu-
larity-percale and some heavier cot
tons; chambrays and cotton crepes-
even printed lawns and voiles have
a place In this considerable company
of house dresses and designs are va
ried to suit the ages Of wearers and
the sort of service the dress is to give.
in the picture gingham dress design
ed for matronly wearer is equal to
all the emergencies of an average day

Old-fashioned rickrack braid has
come back into favor as trimming
for house dresses and is also used on
afternoon frocks of organdie. Combi-
nations of plain and plaid ginghams are
and always will be good in dresses of
the kind shown above. For kitchen
work designers make shorter sleeves
and plain waists joined to skirts with
wide belts. The frock illustrated Will
do for marketing. Because gingham Is
used for aprons and house dresses Is
no reason to infer that 1t is not made
up into frocks for other wear. Hand

VERMIN ATTRACTED BY FOOD

Be Little Trouble With Ants
or Reaches.

The surest way to keep house free
from ants is to leave no food lying
about on shelves or in open places
where they can reach It,, Ants 60
where they find food, and IL the food
supplies of the household are kept In
ant-proof metal containers or In Ice
boxes, and II all foods that may hap
pen to be scattered by children or 9th
ers is cleaned up promptly, the ant
nuisance will be slight. Cake, bread,
sugar, meat, and like substances, are
especially attractive to the ants. and
should be kept from them.
Reaches will not frequent rooms
unless they find some available food
material, and IL such materials can
be kept from living room and offices
or scrupulous care exercised to see
that no such material is placed In
drawers where 1t can leave an attrac-
tive odor or fragments of food, the
roach nuisance can be largely restrict
ed to places where food necessarily
must be kept.

The advantage of leaving the design
Ing of chldren's clothes to specialists
In that line Of work is apparent.
They are less apt to make mistakes
than other people are. and only the eff
forts in which they are successful get
beyond the designing room and into
the wcrkrooms Of manufacturers Of
children's frocks and other garments.
Early in July the advance guards OF
the new styles for fall make their ap-
pearance In the large shops and depart
ment stores, and mothers with fore
sight investigate them, either to buy
for the coming season or to become
familiar with whatever new style fea-
lures are introduced.
Those who have their chiidren's
clothes made Mt home can gather from
these early displays ideas worth copy
ing. The question OF economy Is one
that the individual must settle for her
self. The simplest cotton dresses can
probably be bought ready made as
cheaply as they can be made at home'

ty In SaxOny has decreased from IT,.
600 in 1914 to $4,000 paying members
at present, according to recent Dres-
den dispatch to the Berliner Tage::

Carolyn May could not help feeling
some surprise at the finally revealed
proportions Of Chetwood Gormley. He

prominent upper front teeth, which
gave sort of bow-window appearance
to his wide mouth. But there was a
good-humored twinkle in the over

Boston Milk Prices

The price of milk in greater Boston
will 16 l-2c per quart delivered to
family trade and Ice per quart at stores,
during November.
The producers will get Sac per quart
delivered at Boston. There will be no
discount to dealers for carrying surplus.
These figures were announced last
Friday by the Regional Milk Commis-
sion for New England, part Of the Ma
tional Food Administration, at the con-
cIusion of lengthy hearings, wherein the
cost of production, was proven through
thousands of sworn statements by actual
producers and the costs Of distribution
by the evidence Of dealers.
The New England Milk Producers
Association, which represents the pro-
ducers in these hearings has asked the
Commission to establish a system of
cost accounting to be put in operation
on the farms of its members, with a
view to determining how, if possible
production costs can be reduced. The
scarcity and high price Of labor and 81
grain are driving cows from the farm:
of New England and even high prices
for milk will not hold the IN if labor and
feed are not to be had.

instruction for Sending Christmas
Boxes to our Soldiers Overseas

The War and Post Office Depart
and the American Red Cross have
made an arrangement by which
every man in thearmy overseas may
receive a Christmas parcel from
his family or friends. The amount
of shipping space which can be set
aside for the transportion of these
parcels will pemrit the sending of
but one parcel to each man.
Each soldier overseas will be pro-
VldeG with one Christmas parcel la
bel. This label will be forwarded by
him to the person in the United
States from wh.nn he wishes to re-
ceive his Christmas rackage. Pack
ages that do not bear tlSs label will
not beaccepted by the Red Cr.4s for de
livery to the Post Office authorrses.
Labels that are lost will not be du-
plicated.
Christmas parcels must be placed
in standard cardboard boxes X 4
X 9 inches in size. These boxes will
provided to holders of labels by the
American Red Cross. They may be
obtained at Red Cross Chapters or
branches after November 1st.
No Christmas parcel will be ac-
cepted by the Red Cross for ship
ment after November 20. Keep this

C. M. CAMPBELL CALEDONIA
COUNTY CHAIRMAN
Fourth Liberty Loan Knock Essex
County-Mr. Campbell Should
Stick to Facts.

1t is all right to praise yourself
when you are successful in some
great undertaking, but what is the
use of knocking some other fellow
with a much harder proposition be-
cause he has not accomplished as
much as you may have succeeding
in doing. Mr.. Campbell, Chairman
of the Fourth Liberty Loan in Gale
donia with the assistance of two or
three millionares secured 125percent
of the quota assigned his county, yet
he feels it his duty to publish in the
st. Johnsbury Caledonian that Essex
County did not attain its quota. His
statement is not only uncalled for
but untruthful, because Essex Coun-
ty did sell 104 percent of its quota
where the largest single subscription
outside the Island Pond National
Bank was $4,000. Mr.. L. B. Jones,
the chairman for this county probab-
ly had the most difficult problem of
any county chairman in the state ow-
ing to the fact that the assign
ments are made on the grand lists
and nearly 25 percent of the real
estate of this county is held by non
residents who with a very few ex-
ceptions failed to credit any of their
subscriptions to this county.

examination on the charge of mur-
der and was bound over to the Wash

This action is understood to mean
that the results of the autopsy as per-
formed showed reasonable effects
from the bullet in the bowels caus-
ing death. Greenslit was lodged in
Jail following adjournment of court.
1t is expected that a special

United War Work Campaign

Boston, October 9th. The soldier $
social and moral welfare is a unit in
purpose" stated the Right Reverend Will
liam Lawrence, Bishop Of the Episcopal
Diocease of Massachusetts, and its sup
port should be a unit in the programme"
Bishop Lawrence, one Of the country's
foremost war workers, is bending every
effort to speed the drive of the United
War Work Campaign, the union Of the
seven big welfare organizations suggested
by President Wilson.
"The activities of the Y. M. G. A.,
the Knights of Columbus, the War
Camp Community and the rest" con-
tinued the prelate overlap each other
and melt into each other. Why then
should each and all have separate cam
paign? Why not unite in one campaign
with single slogan?
Then the representatives of each as
sociation will not, as in former campaigns,
have to describe the limitations of their
work and confuse peoples minds with
what appears to be an intricate problem,
but will present the work as a whole,
laying emphasis on that special part in
which he or she has the keenest interest.

accustomed to big figures. The United

SIX SONS IN WAR
Four Have Already Given Their

One of the most tragic records of

Of the Rock Island arsenal, four of
whose six sons already have given
their lives in the war. She is Mrs.
Sara Carton of 536 26th street, Rock
Island, an operative in the cloth de-
partment.
Of the four sons who were killed,
three were members of the United

naming sons are now in France.
Mrs. Carton has worked at the
arsenal with the same spirit of pa
triotic devotion that her sons show
ed in their service in the army.
