LONDON. Aug. Snow is the time
for American styles to come to the
aid OF the English girls.
England has seen and turned down
those shocking kneeskirts and kid
skin gowns which arrived here only
yesterday, hot from the Partisan de-
signers psychopathic ward. Relations
with the French style creators are
hni, napoo, and busted.
So il there are any nice mild mod
els-with just little tang to them
in the stockrooms OF Fifth avenue,
England would be awfully glad TO
have them this winter.
These Paris things will never do
really. Most poisonously extreme.
We wouldn't wear 'em to the races.
Immodest is a kind word to apply
to the skirts. At the sight of one an
observer was tempted to ask, Where
the rest of it?" Most of il was above
the knees.
And the leather gowns are fright
fully expensive for folk who have just
finished fighting a war. 1 dare say
only the wives and daughters of
bloated INHALED prohteers could ar
ford them.
uant about these outrageous clothes

and blush. They placed the models
on exhibition merely to illustrate the
extremes to which Partisan designers
would have us go, not with the eX-
pectation or desire to sell them to
smartIy turned out ladies.
Our women and girls will look to
the United States for their future

Plies which they so seriously need.
The country is confronted with

Is still in suspense as to negotia-

their means of transport is in urgent

From whatever angle the subject
may be viewed, it is apparent that
such a strike in such circumstances
would be the most far-reaching plan
ever presented in this country to
limit the facilities of production and

thus indirectly to restrict the pro
duction and distribution of all the
rccessaries of life. A strike under
these circumstances is not only un-

Following IS the text Of President
Wilson's warning and appeal to the
h5taminous coal miners, issued ay
him Saturday night:
'on September %, 1919. the con
vention of the United Nine Workers
OF America. at Cleveland, O. a3opt-
ea s proposal declaring that all con
tracts in the bituminous field shall
be declared as having automatically
expired November i. 1919, and max

~cials should be authorized and in

Situminous miners and mine work

effective November /, 1919.

but not beyond April 1, 1920. This
strike is proposed at time when the
government is making the most earn

and has appealed with success to 9TH

opportunity has been afforded for

RAT III:III.jlY MENACES HEALTH
Costs the United States $780,
100000 a Year for Support.
Public Health Service Urges That
Measures Be Taken to De-
stroy Them.

Washington.-You pay one-half of
one cent every day for the support
and sustenance Of a brown rat, ac-
cording to figures compiled by the
United States public health service.
There is one rat, at least, for every
person in the United States This es-
innate is considered conservative, but
comedies with that for Great Britain
and ireland, and also with authorita-
tive figures for Denmark, France and
Germany. The annual upkeep per ro-
dent was computed by the same au-
thorities as $3.50 in Great Britain,
$120 in Denmark, and ST in France.
The depredations in this country viii
very probably exceed the estimate for
Great Britain One-half a cent a day
is considered conservative, but even
on this computation, it costs the Unit
ed States $TS0,0OO,000 year to sup
port its rat population.
1t is because of this terrific eConomic
loss and the additional fact that rats
are a constant menace to the public
health that tire public health service
has issued a warning to the country to
take the necessary measures to de
stroy them.
There are three kinds of rats inelud-
ed in the survey in this country-the
Norway or brown rat, the black rat,
and AleXandrian rat The Norway rat,
larger and more ferocious than the
others, has pretty generally killed
them off, and today the black rat
and the Alexandrian rat are seldom
found except In seaports.
The brown or Norway rat, since he
discovered America, has literally
blazed a trail across the continent.
Today It is conservatively estimated
that there are at least one rat for ev-
cry dweller in the cities, and on the
farm there are at least three rats for
every person. None Of these rats is
native to the United States.
OF many measures suggested for de
stroying the rat, the public health serv-
Ice advocates one as most effective. 1t
is rat-proofing the buildings 30 that
rats cannot get in for food thereby
starving them 20 death.

the taking of this extraordinary step
and I am convinced that when the
time and money are considered it
constitutes a fundamental attack,
which is wrong both morally and le-
gally, upon the rights of society and
upon the welfare of our country I
feel convinced that individual mem
bers of the United Mine Workers of

consideration, in favor of such a
strike under these conditions.

THE, KELLEY SANITORIUM
A Valuable Community Institution for the AL
deviation Of Human Ills.

That the progress and development
Of any community is predicted in no
small measure upon the physical we'll
being of it's individual members is
statement of such obvious truth that
no demonstration is necessary to es-
tablish its accuracy. A recognition
Of this fact lead DIR. Edward Theron
Kelly several years ago to conceive
Of a local institution to be devoted to
the preservation of health and the al
deviation of human suffering, and the
Kelly Sanitorium, which opened its
doors for the reception of patients on
March 1st, last, is an impressive real
ization of his conception.
DIR. Kelly's faith in the undertaking
has been fully vindicaed by the wide
spread interest and support which
his venture has enlisted among those
whom he purposed and is serving.
From the opening date up until the
time this article is written-December
s,-415 patients have entered the sani-
terium, 141 for operations and 274 for
treatment. The mortality rate, it
should be remarked to the credit Of
DR.. Kelly and his collaborators' is un-
usually low and augurs we'll for the
future accomplishment Of the institu-
ton.
Facing academy street in the heart
Of the town, the handsome rs room
building which houses the hospital is
well calculated to arrest the attention
Of the passerby and to excite his OF
her interest. Flanked on each side by
sycamore trees, surrounded by broad
verandas and with the hedged lawn
a carpet of verdant greenness, it sug-
gests, as the accompanying illustra-
zion shows, a we'll environed home
rather than a hospital. This is but
one of the many attributes which
makes the Kelly Sanitorium the para
gon of many in its class, as we shall
endeavor to show in the course Of this
article.
Exterior appearance do not belle
