TURNING RATS TO ACCOUNT
Japanese Authorities Anticipate SUBJ
stantial Revenue From Leather
Made From Hides of Pests.

In the neighborhood Of AomoTi, Ja-
pan, the hides Of squirrels are tanned
and used as carpets, neckcloths and
for other purposes. This has sug-
gested to Doctor Hasegawa Kiyonari,
head of the Hasegawa hospital at
Osaka, who is member of the Osaka
municipal assembly, the possibility Of
turning to good account the hides Of
the numerous rats bought by the mu-
nicipal authorities, in view of the
great advance in the price Of hides
and leather. Doctor Hasegawa ap-
preached the authorities with the pro-
posal which was favorably received.
They accordingly tanned the skins of
two rats and sought the opinion of
dealers as to what the leather would
sell for. The dealers estimated that
the skin of one rat was worth 20 sen
in its raw condition. The public health
authorities are now devising special
means OF disinfecting and tanning raj
skins.
1t is estimated that great sun
could have been obtained by tanning
the hides OF one-third Of the rats
bought by the Osaka municipal au
thorities during the last twenty years

To PoIIxfox.


Put down a red mark to the senate's
credit for introducing the word "polly-
fox" Here we have pussyfooting with
characteristics more subtle even than
silence. If one pussyfoots, well and
good; he does not disturb and 1t may
reasonably be argued that only those
engaged in evil doing or suffering from
nerves object to those who come upon
one noiselessly.
The pussyfooter may have no OBJ
iectionable purpose in pussyfooting.
He may even be amiably determined
not to distract one engaged in ponder
ing a painful problem, as whether II
Is better to earn an income and be
taxed or to escape both and play golf.
But, as we understand 1t, to pollyfoz
implies sly purpose "a angel child
possessed Of a chunk Of ice, with it's
lovely orbs fixed on the inviting space
between Its papa's neck and collar,
will pollyfox even If it never heard OF
the word.
There Is much In the contemplation
Of politics which makes to welcome
the verb ito pollyfox." - New York

FIGHT ON HISTORIC GROUND
American Troops Operating In Country
for Many Centuries the Scene
Of Wars and Revolutions.

American soldiers during their brief
leisure moments are wandering
through ruins and over fields made IA
miliar to students Of history BY CEN
turtles Of wars and revolutions. Some
Of them have already fought on the
scene of some of Napoleon's operations
In the region Of the Marine.
Some are training over ground where
the Normans fought the French and
where the French fought the Span
iards. Later they will perhaps be
marching in line Of battle over the
ountry where the French and the Ger
mans have fought again and again and
where they will help the French and
the British end the last Of the wars to
devastate the valleys of France for
centuries to come.
Nearly the entire history of France
Is pictured all over the areas occupied
by the Americans in ancient churches,
which, along with object lessons in his
tory, will give the attentive soldier an
enlarged appreciation of art and archi-
lecture.
Asked to what extent the men were
profiting from these opportunities, an
officer Of the American forces said that
after getting located, the soldier takes
the first opportunity to explore the

Many Dead in Ruins of
Collapsed Building
Fire Adds to Difficulties of
-Rescuers in Sioux
City, Iowa

SIOUX CITY. Iowa. June 29.-More
than score of persons are missing
and believed to be dead in the ruins Of
the Ryf Building, three-story struct-
ure, which collapsed to-day, burying
two adjoining structures. The building
and the two others were reduced to en-
bers by the fire which followed the col
lapse. Estimates tonight place the
number of dead at from 20 to 80.
The Ruff Building had been undergo
ing repairs and had been lacked up off
its foundations. One of the jacks gave
way, and the entire structure collapsed,
burying the buildings occupied by the
chain grocery and the Beaumont &
Braugner butcher shop, next door, Both
places were we'll filled with customers,
few of whom escaped.
All the fire apparatus of the city re-
sponded to the general alarm and as
sisted by hundreds Of volunteers made
desperate efforts to reach those i'm
prisoned in the ruins.
Hans Asper, bookkeeper for the Ruff
Drug Company, was found alive in the
wreckage. A heavy beam resting upon
his leg held him prisoner. He talked
with rescuers and said three PERSONS
were imprisoned near him, all of them
alive.
The list of missing includes a num-
ber of workmen employed on the build
ing, eighteen clerks in the chain gro
Gerry and nearly as many patrons and
ten tailors employed in a loft at the
rear of the Ruff Building. Louis Loi-
seth, in charge of the work on the
Ruff Building, died in the hospital.

When Attorney General Lewis was
told about the new candidate movement
and asked if he could be induced under
any circumstances whatsoever, either
for harmony or other reasons, to with
draw from the race, he said:
Under no circumstances shall I
withdraw from the race"
Would you withdraw if the Gov

IF Governor Whitman should be in
duced to withdraw it would be an ad

Withdraw? There would be all the
more reason why l should stay in"
Inc whitman men said last night
tha that they, they had gone about as far as

They contended that if the state com
mittee, and the state convention to be
called, should entirely abdicate in
favor of the Wadsworth- Calder mass
meeting, the committee might as we'll

IT would stand for nothing as an organ

There is strong probability that the
state committee, if it cannot obtain a
harmonious merger of the two meet
ings, with the control of the organiza-
tion recognized, will call q meeting of
the state convention for July 80. at
which time platform will be adopted

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER

For good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments Having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And 1t is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way. Just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real BuKley tobacco. grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread: moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
TheresuIt has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting isnot
only most wholesome, but the favor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.--Adv.

The ram should be purebred and

the ram also must show a good deal

It is silk and cotton for summer
frOcks, and here are two of them de-

make her more than glad that she is
alive in silk and cotton summer.
All the pretty, old-time Bingham pat

and wolfe and their inventors of long

grained fabrics. Some of the new
frockS in plaid or crossbar taffeta go
to the length of copying apron styles
The pretty frock of corn-colored,
crOsSbar taffeta shown at the left of
the picture has the plainest and sim
plest of pleasant waists, made of plain
cOrn-colored taffeta, with sleeves of
geOrgette crepe. 1t has patch pockets
ruftled across the top, that deign to
remind us of the apron pockets, and

fed with a plain, straight and narrow
skirt, that turns neither to the right
nor to the left, but pursues it's way
lundisturbed by ruffie or tuck, to the
ankles of Its wearers. 1t proclaims
abe straight silhouette and leaves us
guessing as to just where it fastens.
A pretty dress at the right is made
of fine wolfe over a slip of silk. The
skirt of voile is gathered at the waist
line so that it has considerable full
ness, but it is not draped. Just at the

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root, physicians pre-

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
