Just now, with Christmas near, the shops are featuring fur garments and fur sets, knowing by experience that a certaln percentage of people will be sure to purchase them as gifts. If you are among the number, be pre- pared to find prices far higher than you have ever known them, and the prospect of their being reduced is not cheerful. Garments made of the finest and rarest skins are prohibitive, ex- cept for the very rich, the price of all pelts and the price of labor having gone steadily higher for several sea- sons. The finest skins have reached the limit and are reported to have made a slight decline, while those that are more common have made an advance all along the llne. Wages are not likely to decrease for sometime, and fur-bearing animnals grow scarcer. In view of these things a good fur garment, or fur set may be consid- ered a fairly safe investment, and nothing in Christmas gifts is more cherished. In the group shown above, a coatee, a cape and a scarf and muff set, ap- pear in three of the most popular The coatee at the left, is made in Hudson seal with small muffler collar and full dolman sleeves. It is a graceful garment, warm with- out being heavy and may be classed as moderately priced even at some- thing like five hundred dollars for the finest grade. The coatee Is a great favorite, and this one is cut on sim- Counteracting Submarine. The warship of the present day is & compromise between what we deem best and what we deem essential. The torpedo-proof bottom has become es- sential; therefore we must give up guns or armor or speed or something else in order to get it. On the other hand it is probable that battleships and battle cruisers will not hereafter be supplied with torpedoes. Since ac- tions are now fought at enormous ranges, and since vessels can be sunk by gunfire alone, torpedoes on big-gun ships are now useless. Omitting the torpedo tube will save little weight, but it will leave space for more am- munition. A writer suggests that high- speed rams with bows of proper shape and requisite strength to sink under- water craft will again come into use. Inventor of Corliss Engine. George Henry Corliss, inventor of the Corliss engine, was born in Eas- ton, N. Y., 102 years ago. His first device was a machine for sewing boots and shoes. After several other minor inventions had been completed by him, he settled in Providence, R. I, in 1814 and became head of a &rm engaged ta the manufacture of steam engines. Here his talent began to show fuil scope, and In 1848 he completed the original form of what has since be- come famous the world over as the Corliss engine. By the invention Corliss revolutionized the use of sta- tionary engines throughout the world, and conferred a great and lasting boon upon industry. Corliss, who be- came immensely wealthy, died in Provi- dence in 1888. talian Territory In Africa. Itallan Libla now comprises the two provinces of Tripolitana and Cirenaica, and lies along the north toast of Africa between Tunis' (French) on the west and Egypt on the east, in longitude from about @ to 28 degrees east. The extreme northerly point of Libia Is at about the parallel of latitude 33 de- grees north ; the southernmost point is unknown, as the territory runs south into the unmapped Sahara indefinitely. Couldn’t Blame Him for Tnat The attorney for the defense was trying his best to discredit the tes- timony of a colored witness in a re- cent Marion county juvenile court case. “Didn't I defend you in a case in this court last May, Sam?’ he de- manded. Before the witness had a chance to reply to the question the attorney for the state said, “We grant it, but you don't hold that against him, do you?” Carlyle's Prophecy.

The glorious cape at the right of the group is made of dark mink skins and has a very large shawl collar. It is fringed at the bottom with long and short tail? and there is no skin that can ‘outshine it for beauty. Mink is a durable fur, and there i{s an ad- vantage In having a cape of it; for capes are never out of style. So beau- tiful a garment néed not concern it- self as to whether it is more or less popular than other styles. But such a cape is more than likely to have its price mark written in three figures. It is expressed in terms of thousands probably, but these are real furs with real values, The handsome fur set that holds the center of the picture is as rich and as durable as its companions. It is a short cape-scarf of very dark brown martin finished with tails and muffler collar, having a round muff matching it, as a life companion. This is a brilliant and very beautiful fur classed as “hard” by furriers on account of the way it resist® wear and keeps its luster. It may be counted on to last for years. : - — Justifiable. “A grain of wheat was found iIn that mummy's hand,” remarked the guide. “Well,” sald Farmer Corntossel, “wheat gets mighty valuable at some stages of history.

EAT LESS MEAT IF BACK HURTS Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys If Bladder Bothers You Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they be- come overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, par- ticularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con- stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation.
