For late summer and early fall wear
the choice of fabrics for children's
dressy frocks narrows down. as sheer
goods are more or less eliminated from

are taffetas, crepe de chine and fou-
lards. The taffetas are shown in plain
eolors and in narrow stripes, the crepe
de chine in uniformly plain colors
and the foulards, with medium dark
grounds, have small figures in white or
In white and colors printed on them.
But. of all silks, the taffetas fill the
requirements of children's dress in
the best manner. One of the prettiest
taffetas is shown above and is AN ex-
ceilent example of good designing.
This frock has a skirt in which the
fullness is arranged in five box plaits.
1t is set on to short bodice, and by
way of ornament it has suspenders of
silk over the shoulders. They are
split near the ends. where they extend
below the bodice and fasten to the

Pins and PeopIe.

So like is the pigs eye to the human
eye that fledgling oculists, learning
their trade, practice all sorts of opera
lions upon eyes of freshly killed swine,
which are easily obtained from the
market.
Even the skilled and highly trained
ophthalmologist, when he wants to try
out an idea-for instance, a new kind
of operation for cataract (Which means
the removal of the crystalline lens)-
will get pigs eye and see how it
works. If 1t succeeds, he tries it on
patient.

good style. 1t has skirt OF wtate
shantung, with panels at the side
showing broad bands of color-in this
case a vivid green-on white ground.
The sleeveless jacket, with narrow
belt and patch pockets, is in the same
bright green, and large buttons on the
skirt reveal how perfectly big buttons
fit in with the character of sport
clothes.
Large checks, broad stripes and
fringes have joined forces with but
tons to give those who think up sport
clothes every possible chance of sue
cess. The slip-over styles in sweaters
and blouses play into their hands, and
other allies are the new heavy weayes

tricots. Long, wide searfs that may
be worn In several ways, and Earfs
that are belted and poeketed to be

companion pieces in hats that match
them. A white blouse and skirt ind

Gamma Kills Food Foes.

Foods decompose or spoil because
they are attacked by living germs,
minute forms of plant life of the low
est order. Three types of these tiny
organisms-molds, yeasts and bacte-
ria-cause foods to spoil. They are
present constantly everywhere-in air,
water and soil, and on food. All ex-
list in teeming millions, and all except
molds are so tiny as to be invisible
without the aid of microscope.
The object in canning is first to kill
all the molds, yeasts and bacteria that
may be or the food, and then to seal
the foe n germ-free containers, and
seal them so well that no other organ
isms may enter.
Molds thrive in dampness and dark
ness and prefer freedom from cur
rents of air. They require oxygen,
moisture and warmth, and feed upon
sugar and starches. Since they can
grow in the presence of acids, they
readily attack fruit and tomatoes.
Molds are killed easily by moist heat.
Yeasts are of many kinds, all one
celled plants, which reproduce by the
growth of bud on the edge of a
cell. The buds quickly become full
grown and break away from the
mother cells. The use of yeast in bread
making is familiar. When supplied
with food lin the form of sugar.,
grow, breaking up the sugar and pro-
ducing alcohol and a gas called car
bon dioxid.
Bacteria are much more difficult to
destroy than molds and yeasts and
are the chief foe to combat in pre-
serving food. They are .one-celled
plants but smaller than yeasts. A
single bacterium may produce mil
lions more in a few hours. Bacteria
require warmth, moisture and food.
Certain species thrive without air.
Since few bacteria thrive in acids or
in the presence of much sugar, their
destruction is less difficult in fruits
and tomatoes than in such vegetables
as corn, peas and beans or in meats.
which of all foods are the most diff
cult to can safely. Bacteria in their
active growing state can be killed by
moist heat at boiling temperature, but
unfortunately for the Gamer the bac
terra spores are much more resistant
to heat. All bacteria in the spors

JUST WHAT is SIMPLE LIFE?
Interesting Question Often Asked Is
Here Answered by One Who
Claims to Know.

Most of us are inclined to hold to
pie life is a creature who necessarily
has to walk barefooted or without the
full outfit of modern clothes, and that
1t is only country folk who can lead
that sort of life, by virtue of their con-
tact with nature. Nothing could be
further from the truth. A millionaire
occupying q mansion on Fifth avenue
can lead the simple life, if in his dis
charge of daily duties he looks upon
his fellow man as his brother, and does
not enlarge in his own eyes his impor-
lance, due to his palatial residence or
his expensive clothes. On the other
hand, the farmer or the man who
walks around barefooted from neces-
sity, or who wears the simplest kind
of clothes because he cannot afford
others, and goes about with envy in
his heart toward every being who pos
sesses more than he does, is far from
living the simple life in thought or
dress or in any other manner.
To lead a simple life one has but TO
realize that it is the spirit in which
things are done, and the spirit in
which life is lived. That is the essen
tial thing. This is applicable to dress,
to work, to education, thoughts and
pleasures and, might say last that
which I should have said first, to ma
terial dealings between man and his
fellow beings.-Misha Appelbaum in
the Humanitarian.

That Loose Shoe strino.

Little things often lead to serious
consequences. So it is not surprising
to learn that recently an employee of
a large manufacturing establishment
was coming down the stairway from
the third floor of the warehouse, when
the lacing in one of his shoes became
united. He continued to go down the
stairs. and when about five steps from
the landing he stepped on the flowing
shoe lace, which threw him, and he
fell, striking his head and shoulders
on the bottom step with such force
that he died the next morning. Which
teaches us that one cannot afford to
be careless, even in such trivial de-
tails as loose shoe strings. Scientific

NOW OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE
Port Whence Sinbad Sailed on Voyage
OF Trade and Adventure
Has Decayed.

In spite of the evidences of modern
industry, Basra was the port from
which Sinbad set out on his voyages
of trade and adventure. Sinbad wes
not myth, but a real man with
sailors love for the sights of foreign
lands, Louis A. Springer writes in
Asia. 1t must have been great event
when he sailed away with his fleet of
dhows and when he returned with
treasures of far-off China and the
Eastern islands. The Basra of today
is a mean little town in a clearing Of
palm trees two miles from the river,
and at its port, instead of the ladened
dhows are rusty tramp steamers with
tawdry wares of the West. Farther
up the valley, at Kurna, where the
Euphrates and Tigris join, is the ira
ditional site of the Garden of Eden:
beyond are the ruins of Babylon and
on the bank of the Tigris is the ro-
mantle city of Bagdad where Harun-
al-Rashid, the great caliph, attracted
the wits and the wealth of Islam and
ruled In lavish splendor. Down the
Arabian coast are great ruins, still
almost unexplored. Lovat Fraser, a
close student of this region, believes
that some day it will be demonstrated
that here was the scene of momentous
events that determined the course of
the human race while the shores of
the Mediterranean were yet in irhpene-
trable darkness and that here the first
dim glimmerings of civilization
dawned upon the mind of primitive
man.

ADAPTED TO SUMMER NEEDS
Can Be Combined Into Attractive and
WeIl-Seasoned Dishes-Meat Will
Not Be Missed in Hot Weather
Some Recipes.

Many of the meat substitute dishes
are better suited to summer needs
than the meat dishes that they re-
place. Now is the time to make the
most of them, for meat is scarce and
high priced.
Fish, cheese, milk, eggs, beans, peas
and nuts are recognized as good sub
stitutes for meat. They all supply
protein which the body needs. Used
intelligently they can be combined in
to such attractive and well-seasoned
dishes that meat will not be missed
in the summer meal
Baked beans which find favor as q
substitute for meat in winter, are not
such favorite dish for summer, but
lima beans baked with a well-season-
ed tomato sauce make a hearty dish
which many like.
Baked Lima Beans.
Soak the dried lima beans in cold
water for several hours and cook until

two cupfuls tomato pulp and juice

to look carefully over their libraries
and sort out those books which they
have already read and which make
no special addition to library. This
list includes those works of fiction
that make fine light reading for one
or two times but after that become
stale and stereotyped. No magazines
can be collected this time as the call

donors tie up books with a stout
string and place them on the curb
in front of their residences where
they can easily be seen by the men
in the collecting cars.

The plans as SO far announced state
that the coming of the cars will be
heralGed by the notes of bugles blown
by the boy scouts and by the boys
from the Boys Industrial school. This

c. Rupenthal of the Twenty-third jul
dicial district moved his court from
the court house in Wakeeney to the
farm yard of Elmer Price, ten miles
in the country. and the court session
was kept to the windward side of
Price, who was the witness examined.
Price had the smallpox and could
not be taken to town. The judge re-
fused to continue the case in court
hence the transfer. Doctors wrapped
Price in blankets and placed him in
the dooryard some distance away
from Judge Rupenthal, who sat on a
cultivator. The court reporter used
barrel for a desk and the attorneys
sat on piles of corn fodder.
The attorneys at no time got close
enough to the witness to shake their
fingers in his face.
