its disagreeable taste. SO II remained to
certain scientists to find n way In which
yeast could he taken in pleasant and con-

~ OR the new season there are
II smart one-piece frocks OF
heavy material. Duvetyn.
tricotine and satin crepe fabrics are
all represented in the early fall dis
play.
The striking feature in this sea
sons frocks is the cut Of the sleeves,
noticeable after short, close-fitting
sleeves. For now the sleeve has
taken a new turn and flares out as
II falls below the elbow. Some
sleeves are wrist length, while
others do not quite reach to the
elbow, but all are bell.shaped.
Among the modes predominating
this season there is an unusually
attractive froCk of navy tricotine
with red leather for trimming. The
bodice is long shaped, opened over
V of fine batiste daintily tucked
and shows three-quarter sleeves
flaring at the bottom. The skirt.
too, is a little longer than usual and
not at all narrow. A slim string
girdle of the material is looped
around the hips, and the bottom
of the frock is bordered with odd
motifs of the cut leather.
Another charming frock OF trico-
tine for street wear Is trimmed
with black silk braid. 1t is a one
piece coat effect crossed at the
front and showing the fashionable
full sleeves. The black braid is ar
ranged in points on the collar and
also to form arrows at the bottom.
A narrow string belt Is run through
colored ornaments at the sides.
In brown, navy or black Canton
crepe comes a fetching frock dis
tinguished by it's simplicity The
straight lines are arranged to form
pockets at the sides. Colored bead
ornaments at the front and the back
are used to hold a girdle Of the
crepe. The sleeves were almost
wrist length and were tucked at
the bottom.
Satin crepe in brown creates a
clever frock that interprets the in
formal fall frock beautifully.

ing how hard 1t is to get good 10
sition these days, and needing tho
money badly as | do, I'm in doubt
as to what to do. Is there anything
/ could do to make this man discon-
tinue his unwelcome attentions TO
me? Please, dear Miss Fairfax, ad-
wise me as soon as possible:
Deport yourself as a woman OF
refinement and lady-like breeding
and let this man know in a digni'
fled way that his advances are re-
pulsive to you. Consult the senior
member of the firm and report the
iuhior members conduct to him.
Be on the lookout for another posi-
ton. Have no unnecessary CON
versation or dealings with the Junior
member and rigidly maintain q arg
nified poise and indifference. 10

In its orbital speed of eighteen

carries in it's bosom a magazine OF
kinetic energy, or energy of motion,
which only needs to change It's form

The. energy increases In proper

This is expressed in a very useful
formula as follows:
e equals u NJ w, which means
that e, the kinetic energy, Is equal
to one-half the product of the square
of the velocity, V, multiplied by the
weight or mass, M, of the body.
In order to calculate the amount
of heat produced by the arrest of

of the kinetic energy into foot

INTO thermal, or heat, units.
We get the number of foot

value of the kenetic energy by 80,

THE CARE OF
THE FEET
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

OUCH comparatively simple cor
ditions as swollen. tender o.
sweating feet are sometime
brought to the physicians atten-
ton when extremely annoying in
character. When such patients Sc
cure relief they are sometimes
more grateful than those who have
been carried through a severe sick
ness. SO it behooves us to take
these so-called minor ailments Sc
riously.
Aside from actual dropsy, swell
ing Of the feet occurs in old per
sons taking too little or too much
exercise, particularly when gouty
or rheumatic tendencies exist, and
In persons whose constant standing
causes congestion of the feet, ag-
gravated by fatigue, ill-fitting
shoes, or by walking or running
over uneven ground, causing bruis-
ing.
Careful examination ought to be
made i'm these cases to discover
any weak points in the circulation,
kidneys or respiratory organs. A
relaxed condition of local blood
vessels known as vericosities, ay
have much to do with swollen,
tender or sweating feet. In such
cases 1t may be, necessary to en-
ploy elastic stockings to correct
the varicose condition of the veins.
In some cases absolute rest of the
feet will be necessary.
Tenderness of the feet may be
caused by wearing too thin soles
on the shoes, which causes bruis-
ing, or by shoes that are too tight,
or by excessive sweating. The
tenderness may also be due to a
weakening of the instep or arch,
and in such circumstances is some
times mistaken for rheumatism.
