A wedding which was to have taken place at Acton parish church under exceptional circumstances did not take place. At Epson police court recently a member of the Royal Dragoon Guards was charged with being an absentee and with theft.

sUMPTUARY LAWS

Laws, now generally obsolete, en- acted in the supposed interest of public morals, to restrain extrava- gance in private expenditure, espe- cially in matters of food, dress and amusements. They abounded in ancient Greece and Rome, and found great favor in the legislation of England from the time of Ed ward II (13O7-1327) to that of the Reformation (1517). They existed in France as early as the time of Charlemagne (768-814), and con- tinued to be enacted as late as the seventeenth century; but in neither country do they appear to have been enforced to any great extent. Sumptuary laws were repealed in England in 1856. = Kansas City Star.

Cause of Appendicitis

When the bowels are constipa- ted, the lower bowels or large in testines become packed with re- fuse matter, that is made up largely of germs. These germs enter the vermiform appendix and set up irfamation, which is commonly known as appendicitis. Take Chamberlain's Tablets when needed and keep your bowels reg lar and you have little to fear from appendicitis. Adv.

If you have a rain barrel drop half a cupful of kerosene into it. This is the advice of a department of health to those who wish to keep their neighborhood as free as pos sible from mosquitoes. Mosquitoes breed in roadside pools, swampy sec tions, backyard puddles and other places where there is quiet, stagnant water. The rain barrel contributes largely to the city population of the pests.

COPY THEIR WHITE SISTERS Alaskan Indian Women Beginning to Make Garments Like Those Worn
 by the Tourists.

Preferring ''white lady" garments, native women in southeastern Alas ka are buying sewing machines and developing dressmaking along their own styles. Besides using women tourists for their fashion plates these native s9amstresses get many new ideas from the large mail order catalogues which burden every northern dispatch of letters and printed matter. One of the first things an Alaskan Indian does after learning to read and write is to send for catalogues and circular literature. The post offices are loaded with such matter after each boat from the south.
 Not only are the women learning to handmade their wearing ap- parel, but they are fashioning and sewing vests, trousers and caps for their men folks. Some of the most picturesque sights at the tidewater towns are Indian men with their calico and gingham vests.
 Sewing machines in large, num- bers go north on nearly every boat, some being transshipped to far in- land points.
