Ruselane Wrecked RaIIroads.


The gauge OF The Russian railroads
Il about one foot wider than that of
the German railroads. Hence the. Rus
SLAMS during their retreat after the
battle Of Tannenberg believed that the
Germans would be unable to use their
narrower gauge locomotives and cars
on the Russian lines. The Germans,
however. moved one of the rails a
foot inside. its former position. AT the
same time,l they ruined the track for
Russian use by saving off the ties
Just outside the shifted rails. The
Russians came back, and on their next
retreat exploded a cartridge at each
rail joint, smashing the joint and bend
ing In the abutting rail ends so that
cars could not pass. This involved
for the Germans the huge task, of
bringing up new. steel and relaying the
entire track. The job was completed.

The canoe bag Is in pale tan and
gold brocade with a crocheted top por-
ton made of chenille and fiat tassels,
also with crocheted tops. These and
the handle are all in light tan. but a
vivid green satin lining gives life to
the colorings.
Plain rose-colored satin is used to
line the bag of blue moire ribbon with
four petal-like tabs Of blue and rose
.brocaded ribbon abou, the top. It is
suspended by narrow blue satin rib
bon and an unexpected but effective
touch of gold appears in the tassel
at the bottom.

Potatoes a Modern Food.

Only within the last century has the
potato become "a staple of our dinner
tables, says the Journal of Heredity.
It was first discovered by the Span
lards in Ecuador and first mentioned
in 1850. By 1856 it had been brought
to North America, whence Sir Walter
Raleigh took 1t to England a year
:ater. Until about hundred years ago
Il was despised as food for human
beings, except as an emergency ration
% times of famine, but was. widely
nsed as food for animals.

With the rising tide of Christmas
shoppers a. current sets toward the
ribbon counter in search Of novelties.
The ribbon department rarely disap-
points its patrons. From unfailing
springs of inspiration, the designers
of novelties bring, each year, the most
exquisite of belongings, personal, and
for house decoration, made of ribbons.
Bags, it goes without saying almost,
are the item of greatest interest and
importance at the ribbon counter this
year. The knitting bag is a badge of
patriotism and has made itself almost
as indispensable as hat or gloves.
Bags are not to be classed as novel
ties but certain, kinds are new and
there are many new ways of making
them, many novelties in ribbons are
used for them. f@
The last word in Knitting bags is a
patriotic design made of red, white
and blue satin ribbon, by way of COM
plimenting the colors. The red and
white predominant, and ribbon three

stripes to form a capacious bag.
Three handsome new bags are shown
here-two Of them to use wherever a
bag is needed and one made for a
sewing bag. One of them appears to
be inspired -by Chinese lantern, an
other brings to mind an Indian canoe,
while the sewing bag suggests that
some flower suggested it. These
fancies are helped out by the color
ings used, as well as the shapes.
The lantern bag is of heavy black
ribbon brocaded with vivid blue, green
and light tan color, all emphasized by
a sprinkling of black, and; all as glow
ing as these colors are in Chinese
silks. 1t is. lined with bright green
satin, which appears in a ruff1e at
the neck of the bag. Tassels of jade
and silk are suspended, at the sides.
A small cap of green satin appears
at the bottom of the bag and big
green bead, on black. silk cord hangs
from it. The same cord is used for
handles.

Dark Blouse Essential.

Every woman should include at least
one dark blouse in her wardrobe, but 1t
is often difficult to find such a blouse
that is becoming and not monotonous
in color. The somber navy blue
georgette crepe blouse may be relieved
by red silk embroidery in conventional
motif and red silk machine stitching
and the blouse may be fashioned with
small red ball buttons.

For Winter Coats.


Not all women get their coats ready
made. And those who do not are inter-
ested in selecting materials to have
their coats made up. Velours, soft
and thick and velvety. head the list Of
fashionable weaves. One may choose
most any color and any one Of the
several good qualities. Bolivias, too,
are high In favor, and these are even
more expensive and finer than the
velours. The colors are charming
the softest, prettiest shades imagin-
able. Scotch tweeds for durability
these are always reliable, and in good
style this year, as they were last year,
and likely to be next! Zibelines are
here again-silky and warm-and
promise to make attractive winter
wraps.

CHAM LETTER

Chain letters which have the
effect of soaring people ought to
be stopped. About half year
ago there were some going the
rounds in this community which
caused much anxiety among
some of our women. Probably
some fanatics starting move
ments of this kind. Now comes
another letter. Following is the
exact wording and spelling of it,
addressed to a woman in this
community:

INCORPORATING ASKOv

For some time past there has
been considerable talk of lneorp-
Grating Askov. We are heartily
in favor of this movement and
see no reason why it should not
work to the benefit of all con-
cerned. Askov is not up to the
farming community surrounding
us in the way of Improvements.
and needs to be looked after.
There is one reason, especially,
why we favor Incorporating, and
that is for the sake of securing
some fire protection. This is bad
" needed. If one of the bust
ness buildings on Main street
should ever catch fire we would
be up against it with out bucket
brigade. No fire. protection
whatsoever; it is almost nerve
breaking to think of it, and the
insurance rates are nearly prohi-
bitive. With a chemical engine
our insurance rates would be re-
duced materially and we would
have some protection. We of
course could not afford water
system right away, but it has
been demonstrated many places
that the chemical engine is a
valuable asset.
Then there is sidewalks and
street improvements. The bust
ness men along Main street
