This year, writes a hrtiti aathority in the New York Tlmea, the gorgeousness of furs and fOr trimmings and for linings appear to know no limitation, and It would •aem as though the American woman had decided to be as luxurious and comfortably coated as she could posaib! y manage to be. Of course, all this has to be Judged If what the shops are showing and by what the women ore buying. But at the Salons of the leading furriers there la nothing to indicate the least falling 98 of fur buying or a tendency to wear handsome, %oi to mention costly, furs A furrier who In the oonrea of his business had become used ' to ii»s costliness of words as well as to the •alms of the products which he was Mlling, said: "Now here Is a cheap taink wrap. This is something that we are selling In quantities and which tile American women are showing their preference for." "And what is the retall price of that?" said I, hopefully. It looked so much the sort of thing that would complete my dream of life. He scratched his head and pondered for ft brief moment. "That," he said. Tonld retail for only about $3,000." Bo, there Is the standard. If you are i m*. &:• The Suit of American Broadtail That v Appeals to Many. thinking about furs, though there are other prices lower on the scale as well as those which soar and soar until tkey sound' like the figures in a war loan. Fifty thousand dollars paid for an evening wrap of fur has been known to happen, and not as a single occurrence either, for it has boon repeated often. Caraoul lo Popular. For a standard in fashionable furs &ere Is nothing with more claim to prestige than earacul. In almost all of the known ways In which fur is ever used this variety makes its appearance, and ahd becomingness are concerned it has everything in Its favor. Then there is another quality abottt caracul to be whispered among these who still acknowledge some allegiance to the ways of economy. It is that caracul wears wonderfully. Indeed, the furriers have a way of lapsing into the sentence, "There Is no weer-out to caracul." Not only In the old standard black is It seen, but In all the lighter shades that are so fashionable Just now it la plenteously distributed about the smart gowns and wraps. It is used for trimmings, and for linings, and for the makings of whole coats, and wherever It makes its appearance It Is with an elegance and grace that can be envied by all of the rest of the fur families. Other Smart Attire. All of the remainder of the shorter fare, especially lo the gray and taupe tones, Bra aniong those present when it comes to smart attire. There are the ! short coats of squirrel, and the longer wrappior ones of tbe same skins, and any number of trimmings of this gray and eminently becoming fur. Have you noticed that when there Is enough of It laid on in many layers it assumes all of the softening quality of the furs with much longer hairs? Yes, there is that characteristic to squirrel--that it becomes the majority of women, even adding that portion of charm that one expects to find after all the money which is necessary has been spent upon fur coats or embellishments of any sort. Black duvetyn coats and wraps with gray fur trimmings are quite the rage of the moment. The richness and the depth of the black material against the thick grayness of the fur makes tbe contrast which becomes the lure of a wrap of this general character. In coats the combination is seen over and over again among the better things. And as for the matter of capes! Well, they are more popular than they ever have been before. There seems to be no such idea as going out of fashion included in their scheme of existence. But tbe shorter furs are used to trim air manner of materials. There is a particularly interesting coat of purple homespun trimmed-with lavish coljars and cuffs of moleskin, which la one of the most attractive showinks. It has a sister coat of that rich brownish tan homespun that is trimmed with seal most interestingly shaped Into widely enveloping collar and cuffs. All in Tones of Gray. All sorts of little baby lambs have cropped up to take their places In the dressing of society. And these are all In tones of gray. Sometimes the hair is very curly and sometimes almost straight, while again It Is of that pressed variety so well demonstrated by the American broadtail In all of its expressions. In other words, if you see some fur trimming or a coat of something that looks like fur, then be certain that It Is a manner of woolly lamb which has been pressed Into the service of fashion. The pleasantest suits that are lamb trimmed are those with a distinctly Russian flavor. Ton see, the whole Idea sprang from the Krimmer Inspiration, and that is tbe fur of the Russian coats and things In their original state. And the sprlghtllest parts of these costumes are the high Russian turbans, made entirely of fur and to match the trimmings of the bloused suits or coats. At a smart restaurant there was seen a coat fitted to the waist with tight sleeves and high collars and wide cuffs of this gray lamb. It had a flaring skirt that reached the bottom of the dress, where the band of fur was repeated all the way round the circular width of the end of the skirt.

The color schemes of the mala and female are Identical. The Bearded White Polish Is, a pure white throughout, free from any foreign color. The Hamburg, said to have originated In Holland, although the name has come from the German city of Hamburg, is a small fowl. If anything. it 7 Monkey Fur b Most Prominent For trimming and for a few coat* Monkey fur is among the most prominent of the animal skins used in the making of the mode. It has a charming way of falling so loosely and carelessly that constitutes itself a really important asset to the wardrobe of the well-dressed woman. A collar of monkey fur Is a matter of delight, be It large or small. And fringes of monkey fur continue to take their places many of the season's models. A coat of black broadcloth had a simple tight, choker collar of monkey fur that spread away under the ears in a most becoming manner. Its wearer happened to have the softest and curliest of white hair, and she had had the good sense to top that with a rose red wlvet hat that drooped a trifle at the rides and framed her face, with the monkey fur balance, quite artistically. There Is a fur that they call "real Monkey fur" which is far heavier and tklcker than that which is ordinarily recognized as monkey. It Is, as might be imagined from the name, among Ike more highbrow prices; but for that and meat for home uses or for marketing are not the only possibilities of the poultry industry. Ii* addition to the fowls «ept primarily for their economic value or utility there are many throughout the country whose owners breed them merely for pleasure and secondly for the profits more than likely to result 1e supplying others whose fancy takes the same channel. Ornamental breeds and varieties ma3? and often do possess considerable economic value, and some of them undoubtedly could oe developed, according to the poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, Into birds having high utility qualities. For example, the Hamburgs are fowls which always have been rated as very prolific layers. although their eggs are small. Because they have not been extensively kept In this country and because they have not been bred very systematically for any purpose except exhibition, their utility qualities have not been developed to the highest possible point In the same way the Polish fowls frequently are prolific layers, but the crests they carry, while unique in appearance and adding greatly to their beauty, are handicaps when the birds are kept for utility purposes. In the Polish breed are these varieties : White-Crested Black, Bearded Golden, Bearded Silver, Bearded White, Buff Laced, Non-Bearded Golden. Non-Bearded Silver, and Non- Rain e| Dead Birds From Sky • rPollows Electrical Storm In ; Washington. Sliver Lake, Wash.--Wild Canadian geese flying south, were overtaken by a severe electrical storm near here, large numbers of the birds were electrocuted, and for a time they fairly rained from the sky. R. F. Davis, a salesman, who was driving from Everett to Seattle, said: "ft Juat rained wild geesa. One reason, as things go. it Is the more desirable. There is no record that It Is any more becoming, but If it Is more expensive, that Is enough for the standards of some of tbe buyers. •port Coat for Winter. fur coat for winter weather which promises to be worn In the' greatest numbers Is the one that Is j commonly known as the sport coat. In Its accepted sense It is a trifle longer this season--that Is, it stops short at' a distance midway between the waist and kneeB. It is made of many of the shorter-haired furs, including seal (which is, perhaps, Its best known expression), mole, squirrel, etc. Then the coarser-haired furs are used most successfully for coats of this sort, which must be worn every day and through ail sorts and conditions of winter snow and Ice. They are made of muskrat (undyed), wombat, and the like, while again the little woolly lamb Is pressed into service for the making of short coats, as well aa for the construction of whole suits. SOME NEW FRAMES FOR HANDBAGS ip-jteod, Metal, Oalallth, Tortotee Shell ^ and Ivory, as Well as Composition Uesd. • PmuWal stress is laid 00 fisass for kftiulhags. There are frames of wood, metal, gaialith, tortoise shell and Ivory, as well as of compositions.

Sometimes the beads take tbe form of wide bands beg of duvetjx ar Golden Pencil Hamburg. Bearded White. The Hamburg breed has these varieties: Golden Spangled, Silver Spangled, Golden Penciled, Silver Penciled, White and Black. Farmer's Bulletin 1221, recently Issued by the Department of Agriculture, credits the game breed with eight varieties: Black-Breasted Red, Brown Red, Golden Duck wing, Silver Duckwing, Birchen, Red Pyle, White, and Black. The Oriental class Includes two breeds, the Sumatra of which there is one variety, the Black, and the Malay with one, the Black-Breasted Red. The Standard of Perfection gives this class also the Black-Breasted Red Malay Bantam. The miscellaneous class Includes two breeds, the Sultan and the Frlttles, and the Standard of Perfection includes with It the Silkies, a bantam bleed. Types of PlumaQC and Form. The ear lobes of sll Polish chickens are white, the eggs are white, and the hens are classed as nonsitting; or nonbroody. The legs and toes are slate bine In all varieties except the White- Crested Black in which they are a darker blue, approaching black. The skin Is gray or grayish whit?, which does not recommend the birds for table purposes in this country where the demand is for yellow-skinned fowls. The crest which all Polish carry is characteristic of the breed and adds much to its beauty. The contrast between the white crest and the black body of the White-Crested Black makes this variety very beautiful, and rather difficult to breed In perfection. The color scheme of the Bearded Golden Polish Is very beautiful, the plumage being a golden bay laced with black throughout except for the fluff, which is light bay with some black Mais Friztlo--Feathers Hive Not Dried Like This From Reoent Washing, but Grow in This Unusual Fashion. smaller than the Leghorn. There is more or less variation In else among the varieties, the Black and Silver Spangted tending to run largest. There are no standard weights for this breed. In type it resembles tbe Leghorn very closely. The birds are neat bodied, well rounded, and well finished throughout. The comb Is rose, and runs ratlier large for the size of the bird. The ear lobes are of good siae, white and nearly round. Hamburg Popular in Europe, The Hamburg lays white eggs, and the birds are classed as nonsittlng and nonbroody. In Europe these birds have an enviable reputation as layers; of large numbers of eggs, but they have not been kept and bred extensively along that line In this country. The small size of the egg has been one reason for this. An interesting peculiarity of the Sumatra, one of the Oriental class. Is the small red ear lobe on a hen laying a white egg. The breed Is classed generally as. broody, and the hens have the reputation of being excellent mothers. The Sumatras are black throughout, the surface having a very highly developed green sheen, while the undercolor Is dull black. * The Friztles, in the miscellaneous class, are peculiar birds. In an exhibition they are certain to attract attention. Tfielr principal characteristic Is the peculiar feathering. Instead of the feathers growing in the usual manner, they have a curled or curved appearance, the end of the feather* tending to curl up and back toward! the fowl's head. A considerable variation occurs in the amount of this curving, but the more pronounced it Is the better. The comb should be single, and the number of toes four. A number of colors are allowed in the Frlsrles, without dividing the breed into separate varieties. These are black, white, red, and bay. the only requirement being that each bird shall be a solid color unmixed with any others. Shown In pens the birds, male and female, shall be of the same color. Frizzles are not often seen in this country, and are kept only On account «hAriA< **lt Just Rained Wild Geese.** fdose hit the road In front, several dropped alongside the car, two more str*iek the top and bounded off. 1 •topped and got out.

BULL ATTACKS FIRE TRUCK m Koraged Animal Makes Up for Lack $T Excitement at Lorain, Ohi#» . Blaze. fjottAn, f).--Bulls antf flr» truckathey'll never be companions. Members of No. 1 fire company-here firmly believe this following the outfit's act in colliding with a perfectly husky, bull while running to a fire. Members of the company didn't investigate the extent of the animal's injuries for the simple reason that Mister Bull, enraged at the fiery red which adorns the fire-fighting apparatus, plunged toward the truck. Assistant Fire Chief Jack Hart, riding on the rear of the truck, didn't hesitate to order Leo Billings, driver, to "make It snappy." Billings obeyed After following the truck for 100 feet the bull dipped sand with his tall and went through the usual bullish antics. The firemen avoided the bull lane on tbe return trip to the station. BOTHER! CLEAN CHILD'S BOWELS WITH h ."CALIFORNIA FI0 STRUP Even a sick child loves the "fruity1* taste of "California Fig Syrup." If the little tongue is coated, or If your child Is listless, cross, feverish, full of cold, or has colic, give a teaspoonful to cleanse the liver and bowels. In a few hours you can see for yourself how thoroughly It works all the constipation poison, sour bile and waste out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Millions of mothers keep "California Fig Syrup" handy. They know a teaspoonful today saves a sick child tomorrow.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It if' Applicants for Insurance Oftaa Rejected. Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why ao many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer'* Swamp Root is on sale St all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish Irst to test this great preparation send ten eents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.

Every person who keeps poultry Is cure to be Impressed sooner or»later by the Importance of feeding wellbalanced rations, especially for the production of eggs. Ordinarily a balanced ration means a ration that has the proportions of carbohydrates, protein and fat that have been found by experience to produce the best results, but new things sre being discovered that need to be given consideration In balancing a ration. For instance, it Is now thought that It may be well to have a balance between the add and alkaline feeds and that there Is a possibility that the contiiiueu use of gu acid-forming diet may lead to a greater susceptibility to certain diseases. The grain mixtures that are commonly used by poultrymen are add. mixtures containing sufficient quantities of digester tankage, meat and bone meal, dried milk or dried blood will be alkaline. The acid in feed mixtures can be overcome by these feeds just mentioned and by This further emphasizes the necessity of feeding a mash containing meat Scrap or some feed of this kind. Green feed and fresh milk also help to overcome acidity. CARE FOR STORED POTATOES Fuse Circulation of Air Is Quite tial--Blackheart 8hould Be Guarded Against When a stored potato Is shot off from air It is likely to be overc<^ne by blackheart, say successful growers who store their crop each year. Potatoes ought not to be piled deep in bins or pits. When stored in bulk they should not be piled deeper than six feet, nor should each bin contain more than sixty thousand pounds of potatoes. If you want to save every spud, do not try to pile them on a dirt floor. The best way Is to have false floors and false sides, so there U » complete circulation of air about the potatoes. If yon stow the potatoes away In bags or crates, pile the containers so as to allow for a free circulation of air on all sides. Animal Pulls Bolt With Teeth on Door !v 'af Burning Stable anil Escapes. " * • Chester, Pa,--When a stable at Seventh and Madison streets, owned by John S. Lyndell, a contractor, caught fire the other day a horse that Lyndell has owned more than twenty years was the only animal in tbe place. As the flames began to crack about the old horse's ears he neighed for aid, but nobody came to let him out. Slipping his halter the horse quietly worked his way to a door and, drawing tbe bolt with his teeth, walked out into an open lot, from where he surveyed the fire. Lyndell at first thought his horse had perished in the lire, and was over- Joyed when the animal whinnied a cordial greeting. Legumes Benefit.
