MAN AND HIS GLAD RAGS.

Decoration is a natural instinct of the male
al well as Of the female The instinct OF almost
every human being is to dress up. Ii men only
dared thew would peacock their way through
life in raiment even more gorgeous than women
affect So it is altogether natural, now tnat
the fighting is over that military ofhcers should
be weary Of their drab khaki uniforms, that
they should long for return to the more deco
rative garments Of peace. According to one
military man, it is most depressing 10 a man

The psychology Of the thing must not be over
looked Sartorial adornments have played too
vital a part in the history Of the human race to
dismiss a complaint such as this with Few
words. It is not subject for Righteousness, for
badinage, for jocular comment. The military
men are downright serious in their demand for
gambler clothes. A colonel is quoted as sum
ming UP the matter in these words: . Not only
must man have the proper equipment Tor the
battle and the march, but also for special form
atoms, such az parades, etc. Let us have the
dress uniform for such occasions as well as the
special evening dress for formal, social func-
tiong."
The trappings of military men, their gaudy
regalia, their uniforms weighted with gold lace
anil epaulettes, have often been criticised as so
much foolishness, the heritage Of a silly, vain
and foppish age when men dressed in brilliant
ejIkg and gatins and velvets, wore trailing
feathers in their hats, and Knocked the rainbow

M. LANsING,s SILENCE.

noticeable. Mr. Lansing's home is in Water

and respect 1t has been suggested that IN adj

simply showing his loyalty to the admlnlstra-
ton while he remains member OF 1T. high
minded man scrupulous in such matters would
not, until he had resigned his Office, oppose the
policy of his political chief When he feels
that he must do SO, the honorable course is TO
retire; and the same course is felt to be OF OBJ
legation on members of business concerns. LII
is not permissible to attack them from within.
It is a matter Of opinion how far this view OF

often fathom his feelings or get lntlmations OF
his views These almost inevitably leak out
and gain some currency, among the Well III
formed, either as plausible conJectures or mat

erally known however, is that Mr.. Lansing has
never denied the published statements OF man
who claims to have heard him condemn the

Mr. McAdoo coyly admits that like Barkis he
would be willing to accept nomination for the

job to keep his mind occupied.

High prices for shoes are unquestlonably IN
part explained by figures given out in connec-
ton with the demand of the workers for a forty
five per cent. raise In wages. Since 1914 the
wages in this industry have been raised one
hundred and seventeen per cent. The raise
inst now demanded would bring the per cent.
ND to one hundred and sixtytwo. If it be true,
as government statisticians declare, that labor
gets eighty per cent of the income from profits,
ii can be judged what such a raise of the wage
scale means in price fixing.

phoned the police that man had been
knocked down in the alley. Ed Moore,
patrolman, was sent to investigate
and found the Austrian staggering
about near Main street, his face COW

the station and through an interpre-

down and robbed. Rozak had just

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound

get this mixture was to make 1t at
home, which is mussy and trouble

draw this through your hair, taking

ter another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years young

DIVORCE FROM BANKER

Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman b.
Kendall in Boise have received addi-
tional details of their divorce. Both
parties lived in Boise, Mrs. Kendall,
who was Miss Nellie Ballentine,
daughter of the late Hon ]. NJ. Ballen-
tine, having been reared here. They
moved to New York shortly after
their marriage here and Mr.. Kendall
amassed a fortune in transactions on
Wall street.
In the divorce settlement Mrs. Ken
dali received alimony to the amount
OF 100000 year for life and an es-
tate valued at over s4000,000.
Mr. and Mrs. Kendall were In
France when the war broke out and
experienced considerable trouble In
getting out of the country. That $12,-

among the poorest of the poor They
were enabled in time, however, to Sc
