To the Editor Of The BVcnnG World:
Mr.. p. Q. Foy's article about for
eigners in the retail fruit business
not buying so as to keep the price OF
fruits and vegetables high certainly
hits the nail on the head. 1t is fact
that when you walk into one of these
corner fruit stores and note the prices
asked you seem to think that you
have made n mistake and walked
into a bank instead.
1 know as a fact that cucumbers
can be had at Washington Market
for almost nothing, yet when my
wife wanted TO buy one, these profit
eers had the nerve to ask 10 cents
aplece for them, which is more than
the reasonable two to five hundred
per cent. Mr.. p. Q. Foy says they are
rettlng for their vegetables, but near
ly fourteen hundred per cent.

EARLY FALL HATS.
New Models Show Combinations
of Duvetyn and Beaver.
Hatters Plush Used to Make Swagger
Veil Headgear-FIower and
Fruit Trimming.

Included In the early fall line of
millinery manufacturers are unusually
attractive models made of duvetyn
and beaver. For some of the hats
duvetyn is used for the crown and
upper part of the brim and beaver
forms the facing. Other models have
the entire crown and brim of beaver,
with velvet used as facing on the IN
der side of the brim. Some of the
hats in this line are described this
way in the current bulletin of the
Retail Millinery Association of Amer
lea:
"A line of sailors made of hatter's
plush is especially featured. The hats
extremely smart-are made just
like mans high hat with
gossamer body, and duvetyn is used
as facing for some of the models.
"Hatter's plush is used also to make
swagger veil hat. The high crown
gives it somewhat the appearance of
small high hat, and the brim is
straight and narrow. Two jet orna-
ments festoon the front of the gown
and veil bangles from the narrow
brim. For a rolling sailor of green
duvetyn, black hatter's plush is used
to face the brim. Trim hats designed
for riding or strictly tailored wear
made entirely Of the hatter's plush,
also are shown.
Orange duvetyn is combined with
white beaver to make striking hat.
The high crown is somewhat bell
shaped and slopes slightly on one side.
The broad brim of the vivid-hued
duvetyn is festooned with flowers Of
beaver appliqued with Angora. A
narrow black and orange ribbon
bands the crown and ties in a bow
in back. Facing the under side of
the brim is the white beaver.
Canary colored beaver makes a
fetching hat whose broad brim is
faced with niger brown velvet. A
bow of lame festoons the front of the
crown and spiral row of lame circles

Puts 4 viii liz, You
Easy to Get Strong

Everyone wants more pep and sure
iy needs it this hot weather. Hot
weather takes away the appetite and
makes one feel listless, lifeless, miser-
able, even when you have strong
stomach, but for those who have weak
stomachs, it is really a dangerous,
trying time.
Be on the safe side this kind of
weather and help nature all you can, by
taking an eatonic tablet about half
an hour before you eat ana one or
two an hour after you eat; it will be
of wonderful benefit. Eatonic sim
ply takes up the excess acids, poisons
and gases, and carries them right out
of the body. With the cause of the
trouble removed, of course you will
feel fit and fine-full of pep all the
time. Eatonic will cool feverish mouth
and stomach and give you good
appetite, even in hot weather.
Get a big box at your druggists
for a trifling cost and let eatonic
help you for a few days; then you
will never be without it. Adv.

RUBY IS JULY BIRTHSTONE
Centuries With Some Remarkably
QUAINT Superstitions.

The ruby is the birthstone of July.
1t was associated in ancient times with
many queer superstitions. How these
old fancies originated or how they
could have been palmed off on the pub
lie il Is difficult to imagine. The fact
that the common people had implicit
faith in them proves how very much
more credul0us the world once was
than it is today.
For instance, the ancients believed
that If, ruby were worn about the
neck it conferred tie power of seeing
in The dark. One wonders what mon
umental faker started this absurd con-
ceit and for what purpose. 1t was gen.
orally believed. however, possibly be
cause rubies We're costly and the COM
mon people could not test the matter
for themselves.
The ruby also was supposed TO be a
taliSman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. BY the deepening

WEAR LACE, NET AND RIBBON
characterization for Frocks Never
More Pronounced Than for the
Present Season.

Lace and net are most popular for
summer frocks this year. and on the
same wave that carried them into
popularity ribbon has been swept into
popular favor. Consequently, ribbons
have never been more beautifully col
ored or more interesting in design,
and from the narrowest widths of
wash ribbons to those wide enough
for a girdle, they are really notable.
One of the most attractive uses of
ribbon in connection with lace is
an underskirt. One very pretty frock
Of wide filet lace was made with a
skirt straight in front-only slightly
gathered to the belt-and flying loose
ut the sides. the extra length being
managed by being caught up in
loose drapery. held by knots of mar
row ribbon of two coiOrs silver on
one side and lavender on the other.
The underskirt of this dress was
made of very wide ribbon in lavender
and pale rose tones. the ribbon being
catstitched together with lavender
silk thread. This underskirt was per-
fectly straight, and about half an inch
shorter than the lace skirt.

Ferdinand Foch, marshal of France,

another, ringed in Ayrshire was re-

State; another, ringed In Yorkshire,
was recovered in East Griqualand the
following February; fourth swallow.
this time an adult, ringed in Stafford
shire, was recovered in Natal 10
months afterward. the fifth bird,
ringed on June 1, 1919 in Stirlingshire,
