commissioner OF health, aptly states
the thought In his statement that "due

the possible spread OF disease due to
the failure of citizens properly to

One thinks of capes as about the
simplest of garments, but the in
genuity of designers has been put to
the test to give them innumerable
and unexpected touches. They are
endlessly varied and interesting, es-
pecially those that complete tailored
costumes. The liking for color con-
trasts and for matching up frocks and
the Innings of wraps to be worn with
them. contribute to the fine style of
the dress-and-cape costume.

Garden Products.

Garden products valued at S275 and
$40 worth of canned vegetables were
grown as a result Of the visit of an
extension worker to a home In Coco
nino county, Arizona. according to a
report to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The extension
worker, who was called to the home
OF a Mexican mother 10 give advice
about food for a young child, noticed
that there was a good deal OF unused
garden ground In the Mexican quarter.
She suggested that those living there
might raise vegetables to improve their
diet, aud II they had more than they
needed they could can some for win
ter use. The woman had no money to
buy seeds, and knew nothing about
canning. Through the efforts of the
extension workers, a supply of seeds
was obtained and the gardens were
planted. A demonstration In canning
was arranged with very satisfactory
results.

Brasure with robbery. The Recorder
held him without bail for court.
Brasure had stopped for a few
moments in front of a dance hall on
Walnut Street to see the dancing
when he alleges Stevident with an
other man asked him to go with them
and have a drink. Brasure feeling a
trife dry accepted the invitation, but
while going up an alley which leads
from Smith Avenue. Stevident biffed
him in regualr big town style across
the face with what may have been a
bottle, cutting his nose and bIacking
both eyes. They then proceeded to
unload and finally extracted $50 and
an automobile drivers license and a
SO cent watch. Brasure has decided
to cut the booze and Lingo.

When Marshals Sullivan and Moore
went there with a search warrant to

coils, 4 barrels mash, 100 pounds of

A search warrant had been issued
