DICTATES OF FASHION

Coiffure bands are replacing Span ish combs.
 Gauntlet gloves either in kid or fab ric are more frequently seen than the short ones. Most of these have a strap.
 Fur trimmed dresses are much in evidence, monkey fringe or bands of squirrel or krimmer leading.
 Copper toned net and spangles as well as copper laces are gaining In popularity.
 Caracul continues to gain-5laok Ga racul being next to wolf the coat trimming most often seen.
 Red and all shades bordering on it continue to outnumber other colors, and white remains strong for even- ing.
 Dyed lace is used for evening frocks It is dyed green, red, blue or any other color that is desired, and it is made up over tulle or crepe. | Some of the frocks made of heavy cloth are belted with narrow cloth gir- dles, which are tied and hang in long tasseled ends below the hem of the skirt.
 Fur hems are a part of some of the new suits. If there is a hem of fur there is, of course, a collar of fur to the jacket, and usually there are deep cuffs of fur.
 Hatpins have decidedly decorative place on many of the new hats. They are made of jet pearl, jade and other colored stones. A black evening frock has a novel train consisting of panel attached at the shoulders split into two parts, each ending in long point finished with a jet tassel on the floor, and caught in at the waist with a jet girdle.

WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN
SUGGESTIONS FOR

THE HOUSEWIFE Add a bit of cheese to the stuffed tomato. It gives body and adds lusciousness to the taste.
 Pineapples diced, halved hard grapes and diced ripe peaches make an ex- cellent combination for salad.
 If the room is unpleasant with odors from cooking, put few drops of la vender in a cup of boiling water. This will remove them.
 Chicken fat Is excellent for cake bak- ing and shortening generally.
 If tired of plain mayonnaise dressing try adding chopped celery or a chop ped pimento.
 A clever use of different sauces Is a great help toward variety in the menu. When making a crust for pies with a soft filling have the pastry thicker than usual and use less shortening.
 A woman who wears her silk stock ings longer than most of us says that she always ~>hes them in cold wa ter and that she never uses any soap, When putting away clothes, either summer or winter, write the names of the contents on each package. This saves much time and work when searching for some particular article
 Shut a boiler of steaming water in & room from which the paper is to be removed.
 A small piece of gum camphor put inside the plano will keep moths from the felt.
 Rub streaks on polished tables with a little camphorated oil. Rub hard and long and they will surely disappear
 Cornmeal rubbed on grease spots or carpet will cause the spots to dis appear.

EXERCISE

Exercises should be graduated ac- cording to age and physical condi- tion. Such a warning cannot be too emphatic for those of middle a4a, nor is 1t to be totally disregarded by the young.
 Games, mountain climbing, hill climbing, walking, golf and tenni1 are interesting and exhilarating and for most people are the exercises that are needed most. Outdoor exercises should be sought in addition to formal sys- tematic exercise.
 Any sort of calisthenics can be made much more interesting and effective if performed to music. A photograph may be advantageously used for this purpose. Exercises so done take almost the form of dancing.
 Following are a few of the most simple exercises that will prove bene- ficial for most casesA
 l. Arm Stretching-Arms stretched to full length, upward and in front of body, clasping books or fists clenched tightly. Bring arms back and side wise as far as possible. Repeat ten to twenty times.
 2. Shoulder Straightening-F the standing position lean forward with book in each hand and arms ex- tended, Stralghten the Lfunk ana swing arms behind the hips. 3. Neck and Shoulder Stretching Bring head and shoulders back as fa1 as possible, attempt to bring them still further back with a quick movement Relax and repeat ten to twenty times 4. Knee -Chest-Clasp both hands l fingers interlocking over knee, arms at full length. Pull knee up to chest resisting with leg. Repeat five to ten 1 times with each leg. 5. Trunk Bending-Lie flat on back and rise toZ sitting position.
 6. Tree swaying-While in the stand | ing position Thrust the arms straight
 above the head, then sway from side to side, moving from the hips upward l the arms loosely swaying like the | branches of tree.
 T. Full Length-Stand arms lengtf
 from wall Place both palms agains
 the wall, then lean forward until tn, | chest touches wall. Push back to orig
 inal position. Repeat ten to twent. times.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Putting the Right Thing in the Wrong
 Place


 Place
 MT. Editor-In a former epistle we had reference to putting the wrong thing in the right place At this time we want to dilate a little on the other side-GDINting the right thing in the wrong place-and We take out text from the copy of letter of a seven-year- old, written to Santa Claus, and which ap- pears in your paper of Saturday, (we need not reproduce it).
 Now, when the Master was on earth he taught his disciples to pray, and he laid down the principle of prayer in these words. What things soever ye desire. when ye pray believe that yc receive them, and ye shall have them" Mark 11-24
 Now, this little letter to Santa Claus by a seven-year-old, is a prayer. prop erly fulfilling all the conditions enforced in the formula of the Master, but being addressed to an imaginary being. and not to Diety, 1t Is a right thing in the wrong place.
 It proves, however, that a child of seven can be taught to pray, and is susceptible of understanding the nature and doctrine of faith. But while the church is seemingly at loss to know  amusing them with home-talks and lunches. the world is teaching them to pray to nondescript.
 We call ourselves Protestants, but it is four hundred and four years since we rrotested we call ourselves Methodists. but the method has been obsolete for some tfme-we were first called Christ ians at Antioch, but if the Antiochian@ had the naming of us today. they might give up a different aopellation It was remarked that A Critics other letter fell flat. l. neither awakened a re sponsive answer nor aroused an oppos- Ing defendant Tn other words, It ne'th- CT produced an echo nor provoked 9 kick.

POINTS ABOUT cUpRoARDs

Have plenty Of planned cup board and shelf space for storing uten- sils and food supplies. Save steps by grouping similar things and placing them near the part of the room where they will be used. For instance, keep mixing bowls and spoons and such dry materials as sugar and flour near each other if possible. Narraw shelves often economize space better than wide ones and are easier to clean and to keep fn order Low cupboards are preferred to those reaching to the ceil- ing, and are not 50 likely to become catch -alls."

PINK FOR SPRING

Pink shades promise to be much in the mode for spring. and among these coquille pink is spoken of as one of the new ones. Some French lingerie dresses shown in handkerchief linen and bauste are made in a deep rosy shade of pink that is vastly becoming to the out-or door complexion of the summer girl.
 At the moment red is good for eve ming and the little semi spores dress es that are shown in silks in various weaves have a leaning toward reds and vivid pinhs.
 The deep fuchsia tones have faded into heliotropes and orchids for spring and these colors are used in all types of homespun, to evening modes, in pale of dresses from the plain frock made orchid beaded in darker beads of the same tone.

FIRE DEPARTMENT MAY
NOT HELP OUTSIDE CITY

Mitchell, S. D., Feb. 12.-There is a
grave doubt as to whether the Nit
chell municipal fire department will
ever make another lun to fire ont
side the city limits. This question
was discussed at length at council
meeting.
Il was asserted thar the expense of
running out the department is borne
entirely by the taxpayers of the CITY.
1t usually costs in the neighborhood
of 500 to make run to a fire. IL
there is fight against the flames. the
costs, of course, amount in accordance
with the length Of time the fire burns
and the apparatus is used.
In case of a fire outside the CITY
limits. the expense is even greater
and the city taxpayers get no relief
from outside sources. There have
been several instances, it was de-
clared, of runs made outside the city
limits where the Mitchell department
did excellent work and failed to even
get thank you" for 1t.
Because of these facts it is highly
probable thai. AN order will be prom
ulgated prohibiting the department to
make runs outside the city.

With 500, 60S,600 in 1915, an increase
OF $172, $4,000. These figures show
that South Dakota's wealth is not en-
tlrely confined to land, cattle and
grain, but that the people of the tate
have converted these into cash durjng
the war period.
Minnehaha county showed gain in
bank deposits during those year in
proportion to that of the rest of South
Dakota holding first place among the
counties of the state. In 1915 sAe
