Rupture Kills
1000 Annually

Seven thousand persons each year are
marked "Rupture;" Why? Because the
unfortunate ones had neglected themselves
or had been merely taking care of the sign
(swellfng) of the affliction and paying no
attention to the cause. What are you
doing? Are you neglecting yourself by
wearing a truss, appliance, or whatever
name you choose to call it? At best, the
truss is only makeshift-a false prop
against collapsing wall-and cannot be
expected to act as more than mere me-
chanical support. The binding pressure
retards blood circulation. thus robbing the
weakened muscles of that which they need
most-nourishment.
But science has found a way, and every
truss sufferer in the land is invited to
make a FREE test right in the privacy of
their own home. The PLAPAO method is
unquestionably the most scientific. logical
and successful self-treat ment for rupture
the world has ever known.
The PLAPAO PAD when adhering
closely to the body cannot possibly slip
or shift out of place, therefore, cannot
chafe or pines. Soft as velvet-easy to
apply-inexpensive. To be used whilst
you work and whilst you sleep. No straps,
buckles or springs attached.
Learn how to close the hernial opening
as nature intended so the rupture CAN'T
come down. Send your name today to
PLAPAO CO.. Block s4s, st. Louis. Mo-. for

WATCHING MRS. BUSCH
Brewers Widow. on Way From Ger
many, Leaves Havana Today.

Havana, June 17.-Mrs. Ado1phus
Busch. widow of the st. Louis brewer,
planned to leave here today for the
United States if accommodations could
be secured on a certain steamer. Mrs.
Busch is on her way home from Ger
many, by way of Spain, and reached
here on the Spanish steamer Alfonso
XIII.
Mrs. Busch was closely watched
here. Newspapermen were allowed to
speak to her only in the presence of
officials. One reporter who boarded
the steamer when it entered the har-
Dor was arrested by port authorities
just after being introduced to Mrs.
Busch and detained four hours.
Mayor Cusach declared he had spe-
cial instructions from Washington to
watch Mrs. Busch most closely. Mrs
Busch, it was learned, was watched on
her voyage here from Spain. Her bag
gage was held at the custom house
and will be shipped to the United
States unopened.
Mrs. Busch's attorney, Harry B.
Halves of st. Louis, met her in Swift
zerland when she got out of Germany
and is with her now. He denied that
Mrs. Busch had ever received the
kaiser and crown prince at her castles
on the Rhine and said she had no
such castles.

consider wartime Injuries what
would you include?
Probably in any group of a dozen
women who attempted such an emu
meration no two lists would be the
same. So much would depend on the
tastes, requirements and individuality
] of the one who made it. There are
| lots of women, surely, who would in
sist that silk stockings were to them
not a luxury, but matter of neces-
| sity; they would tell you that they
simply could not exist with any COM
fort with cotton stockings. And yet
to the majority of women, the coun-
try over, silk stockings must, because
of their price and delicacy, be decided
ly a luxury.
| lem for the tax specialists of France
to settle on a list of eight articles that
should be taxed as luxuries, irrespec-
| tive of price. Others were taxed when
| their cost exceeded a certain set maxi
mum limit. But these eight were tax
ed at any price: Silk hosiery, silk I'M
derwear. gold or platinum jewelry.
gold watches, tapestry. servants liver
| les. antiques and perfumery. That
these articles should have been taxed
does not mean that the government
wished to indicate disfayor with wo-
men who bought them. In taxing
them it simply indicated that they
w
| ly be regarded as necessities of life.
Persons who were able to buy them
were persons who could we'll afford to
| pay a special revenue to the govern
ment.
Now, when we come to the list OF
articles taxed when above a specified
price, we come to some interesting
expression of opinion as to how much
| one can spend for an article without
| making that article a luxury. Per-
| haps we American women would feel
| that such a low rate of maximums
was unjust. For instance, any hat
/ under eight dollars is tax free, while
those over that price are taxable as
luxuries. This might be considered
| fair in this country, for milliners have
put out extremely attractive hats for
| less than this figure, and to wear them
| ought not to be regarded as a hard
| ship to any woman. However, When
! one comes to furs, and finds that any
! fur over twenty dollars is regarded as
| a luxury, we are sure to find diff
| ference of opinion. Most Americans
| regard furs as necessities when the
weather wakes as cold as it did in
many parts of the country last winter,
| and would, moreover, regard the pur-
! chase of fur that cost less than
| twenty dollars a waste of money, since
/ it could not possibly be of firstclass
| corsets is ten dollars, while the max
| imum for shoes is eight. Needless to
| say, Americans usually pay more for
shoes than corsets; AMI while the
| French woman would regard herself
! as abused If she had to pay much less
| than this for corsets, the American
woman might get along quite beauti-
fully with a two or three-dollar cor
| set if she could be sure that she could
! pay ten or twelve dollars for shoes.

Small, Napoleonic hat of black taffeta
edged with gray straw. There is a
large rosette in front made from a
single gray plume.
plume down to the fact of its great
demand by women who were earning
wages for the first time in their lives.
To these women, the symbols of lux
ury were diamond earrings, a sealskin
sack and a floating ostrich feather.
Taffeta for Light Summer Hats.
Straw, as we Ill know. is needed for
many more things than hats in these
wartime days. Therefore. it behooves
us to think of other kinds of fabrics
which We can shape and drape into
agreeable bits of headgear.
Nothing is easier. The best mill
liners have not cared especially for
straw because it was difficult to
handle, and they have always been
glad when they could persuade
women to wear fabric hats.
OF satin and velvet we have had a.
plenty. The fashion for these two
fabrics has spread itself over all the
other fashions and kept them down.
Today we have introduced taffeta as
a substitute, and it may work out very
we'll 1t is announced as a choice for
autumn. Such pacing ahead of the
calendar is deplorable to the fashion
reporter as well as to the trade, for
things are jumbled in a most inexcus-
able manner. and it is difficult to tell
a woman what she should buy for
June, when the shops are offering ar
ticles for October.
Organdy hats, for instance, were ex-
plotted in February, altho they are
just about beginning to appear on the
heads of women, even in southern
chimes. Because the shops get rid of
their summer millinery at the end Of
the winter, they rarely have anything
good or new to show for June, and
therefore, they resort to the trick of
advancing the trade to October and
offering autumn hats when the trees
are putting out their most brilliant
green leaves. What a foolish and ex-
pensive practice!
In the new fashions and especially
those which are featured for autumn,
it is quite easy to perceive that we
have not done with the Napo1eonic era
VIII the dressmakers never cease to
draw their inspiration from those fif-
teen years of strife and glory?
The milliners, not content with the
Napoleonic hat of last December have
brought 1t out in taffeta.
The sketch shows one of these ad-
vance models. 1t is of black taffeta
turned up fatty in front, but with
shortened brim at the sides. The
ostrich feather is rolled into a huge
rosette. and its color Is pale gray
against the black silk background
The edges of the hat are flecked with
gray straw, and the crown Is draped
tightly across the head, like an ayia-
tors cap.
