CORSET AND GRACE
Provides the Foundation for Well
Fitting Garments.
Season of Vests and Vestees is Fur
Their Demand for Service of Cor
sets That are Right.

You wouldn't expect to stand firm
If the foundation were faulty. That
is the first thought in building a house
"a good foundation which is intended
not only to preserve the unity of the
building that is to come, but also to
be the means of holding it in place.
Later, all the finishing touches can be
added to make the house beautiful.
What is true of the house should also
be true of your costuming. Be sure
that the foundation-the corset-is
right. This is the beginning, after
ward you can add to it beautiful clothes
for usefulness and adOrnment.
Correct cOrsets are even more i'm
portant this year than ever before, as
serts an authority. If you have any
desire to look attractive, and every
woman should have a keen sense of
the value of always looking her best,
not only does the silhouette demand
that there be a good figure beneath,
but the accessories also demand
that the corset be well fitting, for this
is season of vests and vestees, which
will not and cannot look smart or fit
well unless the underneath fits wells
There is no need these days for any
woman to buy corset at rand.n or
to wear corset that is in any wi I'M
comfortable, for there is such a variety
of shapes, sizes and measurements
that, no matter what your need may be, |
there is corset made to fill your re-
quirements.
Just buying a corset, because it is ,
made of pretty material is not being !
done by women who wish to be well
gOwned and comfortable. Such wom-
en- appreciate the fact that it is i'm
possible to pick up a corset from the
counter and by holding it in the hand
decide that the corset has the correct
lines for her figure.
The time spent in the retail shop,
having a corset tried on to determine
If it is the right one for you, repays a
and every shop nowadays
would far rather 90 to the trouble Of
trying on cOrsets In order to have the
customer content. 1t is also a great
aid in overcoming the return goods
rOuble.
Certain it is that if the start isn't
light the finish can't be what you de-
ire for no mater how good looking
'our clothes may be the foundation
must be well fitting.

UNCOVER RICHES IN RUSSIA
Development of Mineral Deposits, Re-
tarded by Autocracy, Now Likely
to Be Rapid.

AS in everything else, the old re
gime of Russia had its strangle hold
on the gold industry Siberia and the
Ural could be considered the classical
parts of the world where deposits of
precious minerals abound and under
a free and progressive government
they could easily lead all the other
parts of the world, says the Russian
American Journal of Commerce. The
Russian press is full of news items
chronicling new discoveries of gold
and platinum deposits, as well as
other rare metals.
So from KrasnOyarsk, in Siberia,
came the news that in the northern
and southern Enisey mountain dis
tricts the gold seekers have lately
washed gold to the amount of about
$3.50 pounds. From the Lena, well
known as a gold-bearing river, comes
the word that new rich gold and plati-
mum deposits were discovered on her
tributaries, Willy and also Markha.
With the laying of the tracks of the
Amur railroad there is almost a con-
tinuous procession of discoveries of
new deposits of precious metals, espe-
cially.on the Rivers Burea and Khara;
all the deposits are not far from the
new laid tracks and offer all the OPP
portunities for a successful develop
nent of the newly discovered deposits.

New Order Given coMards

"The Order of the Running Hare
is a new mock decoration which is
conferred by the Loyal Belgian nation
al committee upon their well-to-do
compatriOts of military age, who, after
fleeing from the German invader, have
since preferred safety and ease
abroad to the hardships of trench life
on the User.
Many Belgians in neutral countries
have received such an order, which
consists Of a medal showing a flying
hare, with an uncomplimentary In
scription. 1t is accompanied by an ar
tistically Illuminated charter, by which
'We, King of the Tribe of towards,
bestow this decoration upon our trusty
and well-beloved friend, on his attack
of the old shivers, which is hereby

HIS PRESENTMENT CAME TRUE
Canadian Soldier Met Death at Front
But Not at All in the Manner
That He Had Feared.

The men of the First Canadian oil
vision who came unscathed through
the smashing fight at Ypres, the bat
tie of Festubert and the Givenchy cy-
clone in April, May and June OF 1912
almost all believed they could not be
killed. They had seen so many COM
rades fall. and had so many narrow
escapes, that they assumed the bullet
was not nodded that could get them.
One exception was member OF the
Thirteenth battalion canadian Black
Watch. He had premonition .or
death and saw his fate in every shell
that burst in sight and every bullet
that tipped past him.
Each time he went into the trenches
he died thousand times in imagina-
ton, and he was a helpless. hopeless,
useless object the last time we went
into the line in front of Ploegsteert
woods. He never smiled, whistled or
sang when in the firing line; he was
literally obsessed with the fear OF
death.
On the morning following his last
night in the trenches he was smiling
broadly. The company were snug In
billets and he was preparing to shave,
whistling as he stropped his razor.
Suddenly a careless draft man with
out warning exploded cartridge that
lay forgotten in the breech of his rifle.
The bullet pierced the brain of the
man with the razor, and he died with
in few moments.
Not till then did his comrades real
lie that his fear of death was based
Upon a presentment that came true,
though not at all in the manner the
man expected.-The Wide
World.

BARBED WIRE A WAR FACTOR
One of Peculiar Developments is Use
of American Product to Halt
Armies Progress.

The part that barbed wire has
played in the war is reflected to some
extent by the foreign commerce re-
ports, says the ST. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. This is peculiarly an American
product, the Blidden invention having
been first utilized on a large scale by
John w. Gates at st. Louis. The de-
scriptions from the front show the eff
fective use made of this simple inven-
ton, which the late Senator ingalls,
said was suggested by the manner in
which the milk cows avoided bramble
bushes. 1t was woven and twisted
into a barrier that seemed impregna-
BILE until the British developed the use
of artillery in such amazing fashion.
The study of Notifications has been
followed from the beginning of human
history, and it is a singular fact that a
simple fencing device, designed for an
nntimbered country, should surpass
every other obstacle to the progress of
4 modern army.

WHAL.ERS AGAIN ARE ACTIVE
Ancient Industry Has Undergone Note
worthy Revival in America In
Last Few Years.

News dispatches telling of the re-
cent capture of three sperm whales
by Grays Harbor hunters serve as a
reminder that the ancient industry Of
whaling has undergone a noteworthy
revival in the last few years. 1t is
an interesting fact that this revival
has been due largely to the develop
ment of the battleship, one of the
most modern creations of man.
Hundreds Of whalers from Ameri-
can ports sailed the seas in the times
before the Civil war, when whale oil
was used for lighting. The discovery
Of petroleum caused slump in the
industry. Historic New Bedford and
Nantucket became the boneyards of a
once mighty fleet, and the race of
hardy American mariners developed
by whaling became almost extinct.
The old rOmances passed into tradi-
ton.
But as ships, and particularly bat
tleships, grew in size and number it
was found that for use in certain of
the bearings in their pOnderous en-
gines there was nothing that would
quite take the place of lease OIL"
found In the head of the sperm whale,
which is strangely clear and does not
under great pressure and
heat. So whalers began TO take the
sea again. They are not so primitive
rs those of the older generation, but
heir cargoes are more than ever in |
demand.

Lighting Methods improved.

The great development of lighting
within the last ten years is made ap-
preclable only when the results are
shown in figures. 1t is well-known
the introduction of the metal filament
lamps has reduced the consump-
ton of current for a given amount Of
light to one-half or one-third of what
1t was before, but there has been also
4 great improvement in the durability
Of the new lamp. A French authority,
A. BOutarlc, has investigated the rec
ords of 1884 lamps in &c establish
ments. In 1908, only half of the metal
dlament lamps withstoOd as much as
200 hours of usage but in 1914 not less
than 90 per cent endured for that
length of time, and the percentage of
those having a life of 1000 hours had
risen from 31.5 to so. Besides their
carbon lamps, the French were max
ing 100000 metal filament lamps
yearly as the war began, the prospect
being a large increase on the return
Of peace.

thing of the past9 1t begins to look
that way, for the horse-drawn stages
of Idaho county are rapidly giving way
to motor trucks, which are declared by
those who have used them on the stage
lines to be more speedy and vastly more
economical than wagons and horses.
A big motor truck recently was put
in operation on the Stites-Elk City line,
and is declared to be giving eminent
satisfaction. The truck takes the place
Of lighter machine, which was given a

Use Trucks Seven Months

1t is believed by those operating
motor trucks ON the mountain stage lines
that the trucks can be used advanta-
geously at least seven months of the
year. During the winter, when the
roads are covered by from two to ten
feet of snow, of course it will be nee
essary to resort to sleds, and for a
period in the spring, probably wagons
will again be used, but stage men be-
heve that, for at least seven months
of the year they have found an effee-
ual method of combating the high
cost of horse feed, in the use of motor
vehicles.
Advent of motor trucks on the noun
tain roads then, also, calls to mind the
extereme desirability of more and bet
ter highways into Central Idaho. And
in this connection comes the remark
by Secretary McAdoo that increased /
gold production is one of the essential
war requirements. The country needs .
more gold, it is admitted by the seere-
tary of the treasury. Idaho county has
the gold, but adequate transportation
is required in order that the latent re-
sources of Central Idaho may be dew
eloped, to the interest of the nation, the
state and county.

First Automobile to Dixie

The other day the first automobile
was taken into Dixie. 1t was a truck
purchased by George L. Esh of Elk
City, for the<Elk City-Dixie stage line,
and was driven into Dixie by Alfred
Franklin of Elk City. The same truck
is making semi-weekly trips from Elk
City to Orc Grande, ccrrying both mail
and express.
The high cost of horse feed has had
much to do with the decision of stage
line operators to substitute motor
vehicles for the oil horse drawn equip
ment. Cost of hay and grain is un-
usually high on the outside, and when it
is freighted twenty-five to seventy miles
into the mountains, the price mounts to
a figure that is almost prohibitive.
While gasoline, with which to operate
the motor trucks, also is costly, enough
can be taken into the mountains in one
trip to last truck for several months. !
And, besides, stage operators figure,
when the truck is not in use it is con-
suming no gasoline, while the horses
must be fed continuously.
