fl^ y WINTER WRAP DESIGNS SIMPLICITY NOT A FEATURE OF THE NEW STYLES. Prominent Idea le the Large Collars, Meant to Be Rolled Up About the Ear* in Extreme Cold Weather. Th« new wraps, designed for the oomlng winter, are long, loose, roomy affairs, whether they are to be used for general utility or for dresey wear. With all their apparent simplicity, they are carefully cut, and, in fact, anything but simple. Heavy clothes, for ordinary wear, are used in the coats designed for com­ fort. Collars are large and arranged to roll up about the neck when need­ ed. The two-faced fabrics will be popular • again, providing reversible garments in some Instances. A gray coat, having a reverse side in ame­ thyst color may be worn either side out. Dark blue or black with re­ verse side in heather color is another ehic combination. For street wear the sober colors are chosen; for the auto ride, and for many other occa­ sions the brighter colors provide a better choice. These heavy coats are as warm, almost, as fur, and have cer­ tain advantages over these luxurious garments. Evening wraps and those designed- with an eye to grace and beauty, are much draped. The kimono ooat holds Its own along with the new wraps of satin and velvet. The combination of rich embroideries with dark solid col­ or fabrics must be conceded to be most beautiful. Wraps of black sat­ in lined with the juune or contrasting oolors, are draped moch in the man- }ii a gray squirrel so treated and tip­ ped that it has the softness and much of the silvery coloring of chinchilla. It seem/i safe to predict that it will become quite popular. The French designers of small furs have sent over charming sets in this fur, combined with gray silk or velvet or used alone, and it is also being used on coats and frocks, though it is not cheap enough to be nsed lavishly by the crowd or to be readily commonized. ner of the new skirts, and when fas­ tened, display their lines to the best advantage, enfolding the figure grace­ fully. Many brocaded linings are to be used. Royal blue with glints of bright gold, shades of copper and brown, rich purples and exquisite gray and white are alluring splendors in these fabrics. When considering garments of velvet, satin, etc., lined with brocades, it must be borne in mind that they are for grown-ups, for matrons, and not for the-young maid. There is nothing about them to suggest girlhood. Sim­ pler clothes, or at least those that seem simpler, belong properly to the merry maid, before she takes on the dignity of the "matron. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. LITTLE NEW IN LINE OF FUR Chinchilla Squirrel the Only Novelty Worth Mention, and It Promises to Be Popular. It may seem a trifle premature to talk about furs; but, although the weather is still quite summery, the large 6hops already have begun to display fur garments of every de­ scription, suitable for th<9 chilly days of late fall and even for the regular winter season. So far as can be Judged at this time, there will be little new in the fur line during the coming season. Of novelty furs there is so far but a single achievement which deserves mention, the chinchilla squirrel. This HANDSOME ORNAMENT. Picturesque diamond and tortoise 4hell comb for a brunette. BABIES TO DRESS IN STYLE Pannier Skirts and Hats With Os­ trich Feathers Are the Fash­ ion for Infants. Baby's clothes are just as elaborate, Just as much decorated and as care­ fully finished with regard to style as are mother's this year, and are also very expensive. There are little velvet coats, with hats or bonnets to match. There also are combinations of mufflers, scarfs and hats to match. There are diminutive chinchilla coats just like the larger ones for mother. And there are wee dresses which have a decided pannier effect. The showing in baby hats is almost as large in some stores as the regu­ lar millinery department. Thq little hats are decorated with ostrich feathers, lace and other ac­ cessories which heretofore have been left to older styles. Echoes of Fashion. Many of the newest coat models in black tafTeta and Batin are cut away sharply from the bust into a long pointed tail at the back. Nearly all thin or transparent fa­ brics are made with a slightly bouf­ fant over-skirt suggestive of the pan­ nier, but for those figures which can­ not stand this arrangement- around the hips there is the tunic, which though falling almost plain from the waist, is cut with a rounded edge just above the knees, slightly gathered into a lace Insertion or trimming, and edgocj with silk fringe a few inches in depth This gives the pannier effect, yet keeps the fullness away from the hips. The Chiffon Panniec The chiffon pannier has certainly come to stay. By choosing a delica*e contrasting color to the charmei'fie which forms the frock, it can be made to give a delightful and unexpected ef­ fect. In one importation is seen a pannier of pale primrose chiffon mounted on a skirt of pale blue charmeuse. This is draped at the back. The chiffon forms the upper part of th« tunic, and the lace, which is inserted down the front, is finished with a row of tiny blue silk bows the color of the charmeuse. A pannier of this type is nothing but a somawvhat full tunic caught up un­ derneath instead of being hemmed. Bag far Shoes. A woman who is hard on her silk stockingB has learned to utilize the tops*for bags for her shoes and slip­ pers. When t'.ie runs and holes get undarnable tbe tops of the stockings are cut off rn'dway of the leg and the lower edge j^wed across In a French seam. A shoe if kept in each of these stocking bft£3, which take up no room, cost nothing and act as an absorber of dust. Sometimes the kind of shoes is outlined on the hem to make thein more easily distinguishable. SECRET OF LOOKING SMART Neatness and Taste In Dressing Will Always Give the Girl a <Spod Appearance. Inhere are many girls who, without being at all good looking, always ap- poar neat and smart. They may only have a small dress allowance, but with It are able to appear more attractive than girls who, with twice their amount of money, often look overdressed or dowdy. What is the secret of this? Surely it I* due to the neat girl's taste; she always puts on her clotfces with care and makes a point of Uer appearance being neat and tidy. She k«eps her wardrobe orderly an i has a place for everything; her rthbons. gloves, handkerchiefs, etc., are never bundled upon a drawer Just to get them oot of the way, but are careful­ ly put in their proper plaees. On the other hand, a girl clad In an expensive dress will often spoil her appearance by the careless way In which she puts on her clothas, los­ ing th* daintiness that she might have had with a little more care. It is a mother's duty to see that her children are taught from child hood to be careful and tidy; other­ wise by the time they are grown up they will have become so accustomed to carelessness and untidiness that these will be second nature to them New 8lipper. A cross between a bathing slipper nnd the ancient classic sandal laced pver tho ankle and Instep is a new dancing slipper that has appeared in Paris. The slipper is of satin and is built in the ordinary way with a Louis heel and a little rhineatone ornament on the toe. hut the sides of the slipper are scalloped and in each scallop Is set a small ring. White ribbon is laced through these rings and across the in­ step, the ends of the ribbon being passed around the ankle and tied in front In a perky bow.

Student Jumps From Barrel On to Broken Pitcher, Severing Jugular Vein. WAS DANCING ON TOP Failing to Please the Sophomores, the Cask Was Kicked from Beneath Him--In Falling He Struck the Jagged Glass. Chapel Hill, N. C.--While undergo­ ing hazing at the hands of sophomore students of the university of North Carolina at an early hour the other morning I. W. Rand, a freshman, of Smithfield, N. C., received injuries from which he died in a few minutes and before medical aid could be se­ cured. Rend's Jugular vein was severed when he fell from a barrei and struck a broken glass pitcher. He bled to death while the hazers fled. Four students were arrested. The accident is expected to lead to a cru­ sade against the practice of hazing throughout the state; W. L. Merriman of Wilmington. N C., a sophomore, accused of being tUe ringleader of the hazers, was the first man placed under arrest. He made a clean bread of the affair and h!s part In it, and implicated Ralrh T. Oldham of Raleigh, A. D. Hatch of Mount Oliver, ar.ti A. H. St. Bryon of Wilm­ ington. There were a number of spectators present, but Merriman and thes<* three are said to be the ones who put the freshman through the course of sprouts, as it is called here. From the reports received it seemr. that some of the sophomoreb were putting a number of freshmen through a course of sprouts on the campus A barrel was used, the victims beins placed within and given a joy ride about, the greensward. Victims de­ clare no care was exercised to see that this barrel contained no protrud­ ing nails, and several were slia'atly Injured. Next the barrel was righted and the freshmen forced to show their pro­ ficiency in dancing on its head. If they failed to please the spectat?rs. the i*.rrel was tipped or kicked over and the helpless victim precipitated -o the ground. It was after midnight when the four sophomores called at Freshman Rand's room, pulled him out of fced and marched him to the campus, where they proceeded to haze him to the amusement of a big crowd of fel low students. Rand was dancing on the barrel top, and, failing to please the sopho­ mores, It was ' kicked from beneath him. In falling he struck the broken pitcher, inflicting a large wound in bis neck. The hazers, with the exception of Rand's roommate, went away at once. The roommate summoned assistance, trying to get Rand to one of the cam- RELATION OF THE UNITED STATES TO THE BEEF SUPPLY OF T«E WORLD SPECULATING. tralki / Geographical Distribution of Cattle.

MUMFORD, CHIEF IN ANIMAL HUSBANDRY, AND LOUIS D. HALL, ASSISTANT CHIEF IN ANIMAL HUSBANDRY. Market conditions have a peculiarly important bearing upon the cattle- feeding busines. A knowledge of these conditions and of the factors which af­ fect them Is essential to a thorough understanding of the principles of pro­ fitable cattle feeding. A clear con­ ception of the world-wide influences that govern supply and demand will aid materially in i rming a correct estimate of present conditions and future tendencies In our own country. It Is therefore appropriate to consider at the outset the world's supply of cattle and relations thereto. In the following table are given enumerations of cattle in the coun­ tries indicated, In round numbers. Certain allowances must be made in considering these figures. The cattle of British India, for instant, are not commonly used for beef, but consist chiefly of water buffalo, which are kept as work animals. In some other countries cattle are used only for milk or work, and may therefore be largely INSECTS INJURIOUS TO STORED GRAINf By A. A. GIRAULT, Assistant to State Entomologii Forbes, University of Illinois. It Is a well-known that many kind of insects live in wheat and otht grains and in meal and flour, either a companying the grain to tbe granar from the field or going to it after is stored. Many indeed go with from the producer to the customer- through cribs, elevators, mills an ware houses, to the retail store, an thence to our homes. Insects of thes habits aro particularly hardy, an many are so far omnivorous that the, n:ay live and multiply on food whicl teems to us to contain 110 nourish ment. All are either beetles or thei larvae or the larvae of moths. Th< latter are of fewer kinds but of greatei capacity for mischief than the former At any particular time and place, hal; a dozen of these insects may be pres ent working in various ways, some 01 them indeed, not directly injurious, but feeding on chaff or other granary debris and obnoxious ,jnerely by theij presence. Of the others, one or mort may be injuring Individual kernels ot grain in a way to make them unfit foi food and also clogging some parts ol the machinery by webbing together masses of flour, h^urther harm ma) be done by causing fermentation Ic the stored grain. The percentage ot actua' lnjvfy may not be large for the whole mass infested, but the i-.er* presence of considerable numbers ot these insects reduces the value ot grain or flour and may Interfere aeri ously with its sale. Over fifty species live habitually 01 occasionally In stored cereals and cereal products In the United States but only about ten of these are ot the first Importance. Seventeen ar« habitual grain eaters, but tbe food ol the others is comparatively miscel laneous, including granary rubbish, de­ composing substances, cloth materials and dried animal matter. Those wblcb are regarded as of prime im portance/are the Angoumois grain moth, the meal snout-moth,, the con­ fused flour beetle, the granary weevil, the rice-weevil, the saw-tooth grain weevil, and the yellow m^al wcrm. The picture shows an ear of corn injured by the Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella. A discussion of this insect Including description, pic­ tures, life history, distribution, in­ juries, and enemies, as well as similar Pruning Betters Fruit. Pruning done correctly will increase the site and Improve' the quality of most common fruits. The expense of picking will be lessened, and the ex­ pense of handling will not be to great./beiansie there will be more of the first grade and less of the poorer grades of fruit. Then the re­ sults of spraying will be more satis­ factory, and if the tree has been pruned, injuries to the wood and fungous pests are not so likely to be present.*- Cherry trees do not need so mqch pruning, but it is well to keep the tree in proper shape, with limbs fair­ ly open, so that the insecticides and aprays may be applied If necaaaary. Pure-Bred Animals. The pure-bred animal, or the beef animal of good type, eats more feed than the scrub. This is the reason why he makes more economical gains than the scrub, rather than the popu­ lar belief that he makes a better use of his feed. Tbe scrub requires a larger proportion of bis feed for main- 'enanco because he eata less. That disregarded in the present connection. It is estimated that the total number of cattle kept chiefly or largely for beef production is approximately 300, 000,000; hence the United States possesses nearly one-fourth the num­ ber of beef cattle in the entire world. Considering Bize and type of cattle it may be stated that this country pro­ duces approximately one-third of the world's supply of beef. NUMBER OF CATTLE BY COUN- TRIES Country. Year. •Total cattle.

BREAKING OUT ON LEG Hilltop, Kan--"About two years ago I began to notice a breaking out on my leg. At first it was very small but soon It began to spread until it formed large blotches. The itching was ter­ rible and almost constant. Many nights I could not sleep at all. After scratching it to relieve the itching it would burn so dreadfully that I thought I could not stand It. For near­ ly a year I tried all kinds of salves and ointment, but found no relief Some salves seemed to make it worse until there were ugly sores, which would break open and run. "One day I saw an advertisement of Cuticura Remedies. I got a sample of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint­ ment and began by washing the so- :• with the Cuticura Soap, then applying the Cuticura Ointment twice a day.

Is, if It requires the same amount of fced to maintain his body a day as is required by the pure-bred~animal and he eats less, then a larger proportion Is used for maintenance. It Is also a fact that In steers of equal weight both the dressed carcass and the pro­ portion of high-priced meat to the low er-priced cuts are larger in the pure­ bred steer than in the scrub. These are the reasons why the pure-bred steer is superior to the scrub and brings a better price and not because he can make materially larger gains on a given amount of feed, as is pop­ ularly thought. The "change of life " is a most critical period in a woman's ex­ istence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason. When her system is in a de­ ranged condition, she may be predisposed to apoplexy, or con­ gestion of some organ. At this time, also, cancers and tumors arc * ore liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, Bounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, vari­ able appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected. These symptoms are calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is prepared to meet the needs of women's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. It has carried many women safely through this crisis.
