SKIRTS LAvIsHLY TRIMMED

The newest touch in favor at the moment is the trimming Of skirts from the hem to the knees. For street wear and on soft wool mater ials, bands of satin are stitched at even intervals, or shirrings of satin on small cords are used in the same way. For silk afternoon dresses, fretwork of hemstitching, bands of embroidery, and crossbarred ribbon are seen. while for the dressy even- ing frocks, rows of fringe, ruchings of silver narrow bands of fur, or jet and ostrich have place. Bodices all carry a matching touch, and the fav- or with which these trimmings are received gives a hint that the spring models will follow the lead.
 While it is true that narrow skirts are still fashionable, one designer, who has a large private trade, is widening and trimming her skirts. Some dresses designed for Hot Springs have oId-time ruffles to the knees, and Tom Thumb fringe fre- quently edges these. Harrow box pleated velvet ribbon is used on voiles and taffetas. Voiles seem of finer weave than ever and make eH- Cuisite evening dresses, when com- bined with chiffon velvet or char mouse, and the new colorings eS- ceed all previous ones.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Pack glass or china in straw that has been slightly moistened; this will prevent the articles from slipping about. Wrap each article separately, placing the heaviest at the bottom.
 To test eggs, put them in water. A fresh egg will sink, bad egg will float on the surface.
 Cubes Of sugar rubbed over the surface of an orange will retain the orange flavor by absorbing the oil. Sugar thus prepared and used in tea imparts most declicious flavor, sug- gesting orange pekoe.
 If the knives of the food chopper become black and dull, run e piece of sandsoap through the machine as you would if 1t were food, IL bright ems and sharpens the knives When frying anything that causes the hot tlt to spatter. try spr!nkling little flour into the hot fat before beginning to fry. This will instantly stop the spattering.
 Mix stove polish with milk instead of water; it gives g higher polish.
 When washing vegetables such as lettuce, spinich, dandelions, water cress. etc, add one tablespoon of salt to the water and all small in- sects which cant otherwise be washed will quickly rise to the toy.

IEffON JUICE.

A few drops of plain lemon juice is an excellent and economical tooth brash, as it not only removes the tar tar but sweetens the breath. We all knew that lemon rind and juice is a bleacher, but few of us know that it is a splendid manicure acid when a teaspoon of lemon juice Is added to a cup of warm water. This loosens the cuticle and removes stains from the nails.
 For scranny wrinkIed hands try massa ging them with olive oil. Warm half 9, cup of pure oil an an enamel ed sauce pan and set it in a larger dish of hot water for 20 minutes. Wash the hands well and allow them to soak in the warm water for 20 minutes.
 Now pat them nearly dry, drop a little of the warm oil in one hand and massage the other. Alternate un- til the hands refuse to absorb any more oil. Wipe them dry with soft cloth but do not wash them.
 The proper amount of sleep is necessary for beauty. Overwork, ex- citement, worry, eating too much or too little, all will prevent sleep. Never over-eat, or go to bed hungory. A glass of hot milk and a cracker or two will help toward a good nights rest. A brisk walk around a room with the windows wide open is a good thing at this time of year or, if pos sibIe walk out of doors or the open porch just before retiring is splendid.

DEPTH CHARGES
 DESTROYED HUN SUBS

London, Jan. 17.-Depth charges in the opinion of many officers en- gagged in submarine chasing, were the chief factor in checking the Ger man submarine campaign. The war had gone on for nearly two and a half years before the depth charges were perfected. Previous 10 that time traw1ers dragged mines about on cables in an effort to strike sub marines and used other equally dan gerous and futile devices.
 But the perfected depth charges SC arranged that they could be timed for explosion at any desired depth solved the problem of the small chasers which were fighting the sub- marine. Trawlers with sufficient speed could drop these charges and get out of the danger zone. The nor taIity among submarine chasers i'm me diateIy dropped and the seas be- came very unsafe for the sensitive und ,rseas craft.
 One of the novel devices adopted by the British for the coordination of the efforts of trawlers and sub marines has just been divulsed. 4 trawIer would drag a submarine by a cabi,. and maintain communication with 1t by telephone. When the trawIer sighted a German U-Boat the British submarine would slip its cable and attack the German boat before the surprised Germans could submerge or prepare to give fight.

DENVER WOMAN SAYS TROUBLES
 ARE NOW OVER
"My Friends Say Am Looking Younger Since I Have Been Taking Tnnlac," Declares
 Mrs. Molle Lord.

When I began taking Tanlac l had been down in bed for three months and Pm feeling as strong and healthy as l ever felt in my life" said Mrs. Mollie J. Lord. who resides at the East Denver High school, Denver, Colo. recently. Mrs. Lord has lived in Denver for the past twenty-five years. her husband has been in charge of the East Denver High school building for twenty-two years and they are highly respected by all who know them.
 Wears ago." continued Mrs Lord, q had an attack of bronchitis from which ] contracted catarrh of the head and stomach. My nose and throat were feverish and the mucus collected in my throat would nau- seate and almost choke me. My stomach got in bad condition, everything would sour almost as soon as I had eaten it and the gas caused such burning and fluttering around my heart that l was afraid I had heart trouble. Sleep seemed i'm possible for me. I would toss and roll in bed and have to jump up every little while so I could get my breath. My kidneys worried me constantly and my back hurt like il would break in two.
 q took everything I heard of but kept getting worse until I just had to give up and go to bed. I never got any better until I began taking Tanlac and it certainly has been {, Godsend to me. l have gained all of fifteen pounds and I have not only gotten entire relief from the catarri in both my head and stomach, but my kidneys are also in perfect con- dition and I don't have any more pain in my back. I go to sleep as soon as I get in bed and sleep as soon soundly all night long. My stomach never troubles me now and since the gas has stopped forming all the burning sensation and palpitation of the heart is gone My friends say Pm looking years younger and l can certainly endorse Tanlac in the highest terms"
 Tanlac is sold by leading druggists everywhere. For sale by Central Pharmacy. adv

Nicotol contains mo habit forming. drugs, is absolutely harmless and produces astonishing results in a very short time. The use of tobacco saps the vitality, vim, vipor and am btion of the slave who is enthrallcd by it's seductive effects. It under mines the health and leaves the victim an easy prey to general debility, throat and lung troubles, nervous ness, insomnia, heart trouble, kidney trouble, headache, tongue and lip can cer and even blindness. Physicians the world over often trace the start of the above diseases and many oth- CTS to nicotine poisoning.

With the American Forces in Ce,- many. Nov. 10.- Sidelights on the trend of events in Soviet Russia iu- dicating that internal dissenson n the Bolshevik ranks is sapping the power of the Soviet leaders, are con- tained in the report of soldiers and sailors conference, details of which recently reached American headquas- ters.

Pick Best Fiber
 First, Lassetter
 Advises Farmers

Little Rock. Nov. 10.-Leave the cotton in the fields. for a short time at least, and pick the more valuable fiber first whenever a few hours of sunshine and rain will dry it enough for harvesting, is the advice of w. C.. Lassetter director of the agricultural extension division.
 "Ginning wet cotton is certain to result in loss of value of the fiber and in the keeping qualities of the seed" says MT. Lassetter. "On the other hand, if cotton is left in the field for very long period of time, it is. certain to result in depreciation of the fiber and in sprouting of the seel. provided the rains continue.
 "In view of these conditions, it becomes necessary for the cotton grower to 7. which loss he will take. Since the loss from ginning wet cotton is so great. the general concession of opinion is that it is l it would seem advisable to choose the dry method of harvesting. It is safer to leave the cotton in the fields for a short time at least and endeavor to pick it dry. If the rains continue for another twenty or thirty days, the resulting rotting of the fiber and sprouting of the seed will begin to entail a loss almost equal to that in- cured by ginning wet cotton.
 "Since few hours of sunshine and rain would dry the fiber quite we'll. true that few hours of sunshine and wind will not be sufficient to dry the seed properly, but in case the weather continues to be unsettled, it would seem to be the best policy to save the more valuable fiber as rap idly as possible. even if something had to be sacrificed in the way of wet and damaged seed.
 "In view of the unsettled weath er conditions. it becomes the problem of each individual farmer to choose be- tween these losses. It is my sug- gestion to take a chance on the weather to the extent of allowing the stable to dry in the fields and then pick with all possible speed to get as much cotton as possible out before the next rain. ! "Too much emphasis cannot be brought to bear upon the importance of not mixing good cotton picked be- fore the rainy weather with cotton which has been wet in the fields. A striking example of the actual loss which results from doing this has county agent, E. B. Whitaker of Lee county. A negro farmer near Mari anna had 1900 pounds of cotton pick: 1 ed before the rainy weather. He did not think that this would make as big a bale as he wanted so he bor- rowed 300 pounds of wet cotton from
 his neighbor and ginned it all to-
 gether This cotton sold for 32 cents
 while still another bale picked from
 the same field before the rain. whlc.
 did not have any wet cotton mixec
 with it, sold the same day for +
 cents. This farmer lost 10 cents |.
 pound on his 1900 pounds of gooc cotton. .,
 IA few farmers seem to have th'
 erroneous impression that the wettel
 the cotton that is sold in the seed the more he can get if the gln Wi buy it at all. Many of the gins art
 now refusing to buy wet cotton al
 the final argument to induce the farmers not to pick it while it is wet
 They are in reality rendering the
 farmer a service by refusing the pur chase of wet cotton"

bonar Law Says No Such Step Is Planned by Great Britain.

 l,;ldhall speech Saturday night for
 attempt to negotiate peace with |ha bolsheviki in Russia has created
 stir. The anti-bolshevik press in
 ndignant over the suggestion.
 The Daily Mail scouts the idea as Fshaking hands with murderer" and kenerally denounces the suggestion, Which it says, caused great amaze hent in political circles. The Te}e Praph and the Morning Post are also hostile to the proposal.
 Referring to the passage of the speech dealing with the possibility of beace with Russia, the Chronicle, Special champion of the premier, Eiecla es it is "not free from ob- bcurity."
 "some may see in it," the Chron- ! ce continues, "a suggestion of re- Burning to the Prinkipo policy; we |do not. however, read it in quite that kense."
 The Daily News, which is antagon- kstic to the premier, and strongly in flavor of making peace with the bol. |sheviki, accuses MT. Lloyd George of inconsistency and insincerity in all his dealing with Russia. The news paper contends the terms which the Soviet government is known to be will Eng to accept are essentially, reason [abe. It declares a sincere attempt lat peace ought to be successful, Though Eff the bolsheviki meet with military successes they may be tempted to put the price of peace |higher than they are putting it to- |day"
 "The determination of labor to end intervention in Russia has at last taught the premier that labor is more to be feared than a reactionary press," says the Herald, labor Or |gan. The newspaper calls upon labor to force the government to make peace on the soviet terms.
