A PRETTY DEVELOPMENT OF THE VES THE SMART FEATURE OF SO MANY GOWNS There is scarcely a frock nowadays constructed entirely of one material. Contrast is the thing desired, and there are numberless ways of bringing it about. The gown of figured or bro- caded material usually has its accesso- ries of plain faced fabrics and vice versa. The vest offers one of the most attractive ways of introducing a be- coming color. A vest of Persian color- ing goes far to make the dress of dark serge or silk becoming. Nearly as popular as velvet are the plle fabrics, peau de peche, duvetyn, etc. They are rich and soft in coloring and lend themselves beautifully to the drapings of the moment. A smart afternoon model developed in sapphire blue peau de peche is fl- lustrated in 8060. The vest is of tap- estry showing a predominance of old gold in the figure. The lace under- sleeve shows a pattern worked out in metal threads which is one of the new details of the moment. The frock closes in front, and there is an effective bit of draping on the skirt in back. To make this model in size 36 it re- quires 3% yards of 54 inch material with % yard of brocaded material for the vest, A plain tailored looking little frock of water proof-home-spun is a very practical thing to have, especially if one frequents winter house parties and is fond of long tramps in all kinds of weather. A very smart model fash- ioned of this material is shown in 8020~ 7994, This may be copied in size 36 with 21 yards of 36 inch material for the blouse (8020) and 2% yards for the skirt (7994). No. 8060—sizes 34 to 42, No. 8020—sizes 32 to 48. No. 7994—sizes 22 to 36, Each pattern 15 cents. To obtain either pattern Hlustrated fill out this coupon and enclose 15 cents in stamps or coin.

After launching the greatest dreadnaught ever built, the British government let it be known that it is to be the last of the dread- naughts. And at San Francisco an av- iator dropped a sand bag on an Am- erican battleship, The British attitude is that the development of the submarine boat is rendering the dreadnaught useless. The recent British naval maneavers showed that the submarines easily destroy all the battleships and could come away unscathed. Hence the plan for the future is to build the smaller types of fighting craft—tie torpedo boat destroyers and the, secut eruisers. The American battleship was com- | ing in through the Golden Gate from the open Pacific, coasting easily along with the tide. A speck in the sky became a blot, a bird, and was an aercplane. Thud! A small bag of sand dropped from the air machine fell in the waist of the ship squarely amid- ships. Almost before the startled crew could look up to see whence the mis- sile had some the aeroplane was far in the distance beyond range of the sky guns. A Friendly Act Of course, it was friendly act, mer- ely to demonstrate the ability of the aeroplane. For the bag of sand might have been a pellet of some terrible explosive which”would have torn the vitals from the ship. The officers must have started at the skyman much as the aborigines looked at the white men with Columbus—the her- ald of a new epoch. After all, science may bring about international disarment, and that speedily. The submarine causes the abandonment of the battleship type. The aeroplane drives the cruisers and destroyers from the sea. Nations re- stricted to aeroplanes, which cannct yet convey armies across seas. When it comes to this point, the world’s serse of humor may bring about-the peace milenium. « California Woman Seriously Alarmed “A short time ago I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs and caused me a great deal of annoyance. I would have bad cough- ing spells and my lungs were so sore and inflamed I began to be seri- ously alarmed. A friend recommended Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, say- ing she had used it for years. I . bought a bottle and it relieved my cough the first night, and in a week I was rid of the cold and soreness of my lungs,” writes Miss Marle Ger- ber, Sawettle, Cal.

Washington, Dec. 2.—To facilitats the handling of parcel post-mail the postoffice department has begun thy establishment of railway terminal postoffices in cities having large rail- way facilities. It is planned to bring the total of such offices to 150 before the close of next year. These new offices are planned to obviate the rehandling of this class of mail and to prevent as far as pos- gible delay and missending. Under the new vlan the packages are put oft at the nearest terminal postoffice, where they are routed, separately secked and sent forward in baggage cars. How to Bankrupt the Doctors A prominent New York physician says, “If it were not for the thin stockings and thin soled shoes worn by women the doctors would probab- ly be bankrupt.” When you contract a cold do not wait for it to develop into pneumonina but treat it at once Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is in- tended especially for coughs and colds, and has won a wide reputation by its cures of these diseases. It is most effectual and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all dealers. COURT HITS “BOOK TRUST” Publishers Denied Right to Maintain Arbitrary Prices. ‘Washington, Dec. 2.—Right of pub- lishers to maintain arbitrarily sales prices on copyrighted books was de- nied in the supreme court. The court refused to establish a “copyright monopoly” similar to its ‘“patent monopoly” decreed in the Dick mim- eograph case. The decision was made in .the vear’s fight of R. H. Macey & Co. of New York against the American Pub- lishers’ association and the American Booksellers’ association, charged with composing a ‘“natignal -book trust.” The Illinois child labor law, pro- hibiting employment of children un: der sixteen years, was declared valid by the court, which approved the minimum age limit.

Quite the op- posite is modish this season.. Ivery- thing must be soft and clinging. For thinner materials an interlining of lamb’s wool is the only thing necessary aside from the regular lining. 7352 is a design that is well suited to the reversable materials, plaids and double faced fabrics. An economical and attractive fad this season is to finish both sides equally well and turn the coat according to the costume worn. For instance, one of the new reversable materials (ranging in price from $2 to $8 a yard) is a soft tan on one side and white on the other. Made after a design like the coat shown here, the seams are -strapped and stitched on both sides, tan strips on the white and white on the tan. When worn with the tan side out the collar and wide turned back cuffs are white and vice versa. To make this coat in size 36 it re- quires 414 yards of 42 inch material, with 3 yard of satin or velvet for the collar and cuffs. N The pattern is cut in 6 sizes; 82 to 42. This Is a Perfect Pattern. Be sure to state right size, measuring over the fullest part of the bust for dimensions.

AN POLI Président;Wiléon toContinne Watchful Waiting. MESSAGE TO CONGRESS Chief Executive Urges Immediate Gur. rency Leglalatiog\, Declares for Ul timate Independence of. the Phlilip- pines and Favors Cholce of Presi- deltion Nominees by Direct Vote of the People. ‘Washington, Dec. 2.—In his mes- sage; delivered at a joint session of the houses of congress at the begin- ning of the second session of the Six- ty-third congress, President Wilson urged immediate currency legislation, devoted considerable space to the needs of the farmers and referred to the Mexican crisis. The Sherman anti-trust law, he said, should be Cpanged so that its exact meaning ‘Would be clearer. The president also urged the choice of presidential nomi- nees by the direct vote of the people ‘expressed af primaries. On the Mexi- can situation the president said, in part: “There can be no certain prospect of peace in America until General Huer- ta has surrendered his usurped au- thority in Mexico. Until it is under stood on all hands, indeed, such pre- tenanced or dealt with by the gov- ernment of the United States. We are the friends of constitutional govern- ment in America. - We are moreé than its friends; we are its champions, be- cause in no other way can our neigh- bors to whom we would wish in every way to make proof of our friend- ship ‘work out their own development in peace and liberty. Mexico has no government. The attempt to maintain one.at the City of Mexico has broken down, -and a mere military despotism has been set up which has’ hardly more than the semblance of national authority. It originated in the usurpa- tion of Victoriano Huerta, who, after a brief attempt to play the part of constitutional president, has at last cast aside even the pretense of legal right and declared himself dictator. By his actions Huerta has forfeited the respect and the moral support even of those who were at one time willing to see him succeed. Little by little he has been completely isolated. By a little every day his power and prestige are crumbling, and the col- lapse is not far away. We shall not, 1 believe, be obliged to alter our pol- icy of watchful waiting. And then, when the end comes, we shall hope to see constitutional order restored in distressed Mexico by the concert and energy of such of her leaders as pre- fer the liberty of their people to their own ambitions.” Currency Legislation Urged. President Wilson urges the immedi- ate passage of currency legislation. He asserts that business interests of the nation are waiting on the expected law before making large new invest- ments or developing resources. The president also calls attention to condi- tions as they exist at present, which make it very difficult for the farmer to finance his crop. He urges in his annual message provisions that will safeguard the farmer, help his credit and prevent a repetition of the neces- sity for the government- to deposit large sums of money in the Southern and Western states so as to ald the producer, as was the case last fall. The president’s policy toward the Philippines is made clear. He urges the development of the Philippines, al- ways keeping in view ultimate inde- pendence of the islanders. While he does not believe they are ready for self government today he believes that eventually they will be. He points out improvements that has recently been made by calling attention to the fact that more natives have been ap- pointed on the Philippine commission than was the case previously, On the question of direct elections the president says: “I urge the prompt enactment of legislation which will provide for pri- mary elections throughout the coun- try at which the voters of the sev eral parties may choose their nomi nees for the presidency without the in- tervention of nominating conventions. I venture the suggestion that this leg- islation should provide for the reten- tion of party conventions, but only for the purpose of declaring-and accepting the verdict of the primaries and formu- lating the platforms of the parties, and I suggest that these conventions should consist not of delegates chosen for this single purpose, but of the nominees for congress, the nominees for vacant seats in the senate of the United States, the senators whose terms have not yet closed, the nation- al committees and’ the candidates for the presidency themselves, in ordet Rhat platforms may be framed by those ‘responsible to the people for carrying them into effect.” Slump in Price of Eggs. Chicago, Dec. 2.—The wholesale price of eggs, technically classed as “ordinary firsts,” declined 3 to 5 cents in South ‘Water street, although there ‘was no ‘material increase in receipts.

Before I received sample by mail, I went to our best doctor (and he is second to none in this vieinity) and told him how 1 felt. He put me up a bottle of med- icine. I was about a week taking the medicine, but 'Was no better than when I began. T then began your sample - bottle, and before I got through with it, I felt a change. The scalding sensation did mot bo- ther only a few times in the middle of the day. I would not have believed such a small quantity would have done so much, but before it was gone I learned that our druggist kept Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root and so got a large bottle for one-dollar but act- ually worth one hundred dollars. I only took one large tablespoonful three times a day and before I had taken one half bottle I was al right and have been since. Gratefully yours, 1 ‘GEORGE S. CHAMPLIN, Ashaway, R.
