THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE. NEBRASKA
Marked Liking for Boleros
All at onco a liking for little j
boleros Is making Itself felt In tho
specialty shops that deal In waists,
and In tho departments of tho stores
that deal In ovorythlug women want
or Imagine thoy want. And tho sup
ply of small jackets that has sprung
into ovldence Includes those made of
lace, of net, of sheer fabrics, of silk
and of yarns.
A little Jacket of batiste Is shown
In tho picture. It Is designed to bo
worn over a light-colored evening
sown or afternoon gown, but for tho
purpose of bringing out thjo pattern It
is photographed over a dark street
dross. It fits the figure rather snugly,
with shaped undorarm seams, and has
a high turn-over collar at the back.
A very fine pattern in eyelet embroid
ery trims tho bottom, and a narrow
edging of filet lace is stitched on all
tho edges of the Jacket.

Tho Goddoss of Fashion appears to j
bo taking a vacation, or perhaps sho
has abdicated; at any rato sho Is Is
suing few edicts. Wo do not hear
"thou shalt" or "thou shalt not," and
aro left to do aB wo pleaso, with a
.world of new designs in hats and
gowns to choose from. Thoy Include
many beautiful things.
In tho early season thoro was a
universal voguo for tho black velvet
hat. It Is a becoming thing, this
black velvet hat, but when ninety-nine
out of a hundred women wear It It
bocomcs monotonous. Tho demaud
has swung away to black hats in
plush and velours and to tho dark col
ors that look so well with tho metal
trimmings and handsome furB and
feathers.
Two hats aro pictured here which
aro so good In shapo and In design
and In every particular that thoy may
bo chosen with tho comforting con
viction that thoro la nothing better.
Ono la a moderately wldo-brlmmed
model, with lines lifting a llttlo at tho
front and a little moro at tho back.
Its small, round crown Is concealed by
threo soft half-plumes mounted over
it. Thoy aro topped by ono of thoso
odd stool ornamonts mounted on a
stem, which look llko nothing on tho
earth or In tho air above It. Perhaps
this is a part of tholr fascination.
A hat of this kind must bo dovol-
oped in materials of, excellent quality
and will be beautiful In dark-colored
velvet with plumes In shades of tho
Fame co'or, or In black.

ette crepe, and chiffon, as well as tho
metal gauzes, suggest themselves for
more fuiiclful boleros. Fine laces run
with silver or gold threads that out
line tho pattern, or tho metallic lacea,
will mako lovely llttlo Jackets and auu
new finery by way of variety to the
evening or afternoon gown or to tho
dance frock.
Even an amatour or a beginner In
needlework ought to havo no trouble
In making ono of theso fascinating ac
cessories of dress. There are only
two seams to sow at each side, tho
shoulder and underarm scam. Thoy
aro so short that It will not tax tho
patience to fell them by hand. Hand
work Is to bo recommended for all
theso small garments and Is Impera
tive when tho motal laces aro used.
If you aro considering what to make,
as an acceptable holiday gift for some
friend, tho llttlo bolero presents few
difficulties and many charms.
and Authoritative
A nrottv turban of plush Is shown
with a broad bow of wldo striped rib
bon poised at tho back. It appears to
bo tied over an odd extension of tno
crown, covered with tho plush, which
sunnortB it and adds an entirely now
featuro to tho shapo. A molro rib
bon Is used, having a dark and a light
stripe. There aro many color combi
nations that will bo flno for a copy of
this model.
With nil this collection of varied
stylo and Influences striving to mako
themselves felt, tho opportunity for
tho Individual who knows what to
chooso for hor own particular stylo
wub never bo good. In ratlllnory tho
display of pleasing hats is creditable
to tho many Independent designers
who havo created them. Thero Is noth
ing startling In tho two hats shown
hero, and nothing freakish. They rep
resent legltlmato types of real mil
linery, with novelty In tho handling, of
trimmings to further commend them
Sleeve Models.
Tho sleeves havo a great liberality
of choice somo aro full to tho elbow,
and then tight to tho wrist; but tho

SYTEM FOR FEEDING FOWLS
Grain, Green Food, Grubs, Grit and
Shell Are Necessary In Chicken
Diet Dry Mash Best.
For tho hen that is "manufacturing
an egg every day, or ono in two days,
it Is Impossible to get tho required
nourishment fast enough unless It Is
taken Into tho body already ground.
Tho best system of feeding, then, as
recognized tho country over, Is to glvo
ono or moro of tho varieties of wholo
grain as a means of exercise; that
Is, fed in a deep litter so tho fowls
will havo to work for It. Then use a
variety of ground foods to supply tho
nourishment, heat and energy of tho
bird.
Tho four "g's" glvo us a cuo as to
what is necessary in tho chicken diet
grain, green food, grubs, grit aim
shell. Wholo grain gives tho best ro
sult8 when two or moro forms aro
mixed and fed twico dally in a deep
litter. Throe parts wheat, thrco parts
cracked corn and ono part oats, or
equal partB wheat and cracked corn or
kafir, makes a good combination. Ono
pint fo ten fowls is about tho right
amount, with tho heaviest feed at
night.
Ground food may bo fed In either a
dry or wet form, but for breeders and
layers, dry mash Is best, while for fat
toning poultry it Is better to use wet
mash. Tho dry form may bo supplied
In self-feeding hoppers. A good mix
ture would bo:
Sevonnounds mill run, seven pounds
cornmoaw1 threo pounds beef scrap,
two pounds alfalfa leaves, one-half
pound charcoal.

FEED CHARCOAL EVERY WEEK
Always Advisable to Feed as Early In

Onco a week, or oftener, It may bo

Pro-
Havo Proved Themselves Loyal Sub
jects of the Czar In the Present
European War Compelled
to Dwell Within Pale.
Ilussla has tho largest Jowlsh popu
lation of any country In tho world.
Although their lot has not always been
an enviable ono under tho rulo of tho
czars, tho groat war has found thorn
loyal citizens of their northorn father
land, willing and anxious to contribute
tholr sacrifices to tho succoss of Its
causo. According to prlvato letters
and dispatches from Ilussla many
Jews havo como forward to enlist;
they havo opened and equipped lios
pltals for the soldiers, and displayed
an cngorucBS to aid with their goods
and their labor. Tho warmth of their
patriotism has been a surprise In Mus
covy. Tho position of tho Jowlsh sub
jects of tho czar, as It was beforo thu
war, Is told In a bulletin Just proparod
by tho National Geographic society.
It reads as follows:
"Moro than one-half of tho world's
total Jowlsh population, numbering
about C.C00.000, dwells within tho Rus
sian empire. Tho total number of
Jows In tho world numbers about 13,'
000,000. Tho United States and Aus
trla-llungnry, each with moro than
two million; Germany, with (500,000.
and tho Drltlsh empire, with 400,000,
aro tho other Important homelands of
this scattered nation. Russia, howover,
today might bo looked upon as tho
true fathorland of tho Jowlsh pcoplo,
as tho great body of them live there.
This comes primarily from tho causo
that tho Slavs, moro especially the
Russian Slavs, havo always been tho
most tolerant of peoples In matters of
rollglon. The Russian church, prop
erly speaking, is not a missionary
church. That a Russian should bo a
membor of tho Russian branch of tho
Eastern Orthodox church Is regarded
almost as a law of nature In Muscovy,
whllo tho Russian feels that It is Just
as natural and fitting that a Tartar
should bo a Mohammedan, and that a
Jow should follow tho Mosaic creed.
"It Is truo that most of tho Jows
wcro originally Polish subjects, and it
Is said that colonics of them lived In
the basin of tho Volga and tho Crimea
COO years beforo tho birth of Christ.
Through tho yeara of tholr blttorest
persecution tho rulo of tho Polos over
tho Jows was a light and amiable ono,
and many hundreds of thousands of
them passed to this country. Thus,
with Poland, Russia acquired tho
greater part of her Jowlsh subjects.
"Tho czar's JowIbIi subjects aro con
fined by law to a doflnlto part of tho
omplro, known as tho Jowlsh palo, or
settlement. This is an Irregular bolt
of territory, oxtondlng from tho Baltic
to tho Black soa. Tho palo Includos
Poland, Lithuania, Whlto Russia, part
of Llttlo Russia, and regions in tho
Caucasus. A belt of land about thirty
miles wldo along tho International
boundary Is also oxempt. Tho palo
proper, whoreln nearly all of tho Rus
sian Jows dwoll, comprises tho ontlro

governments of Kovno, Vitebsk, Vllna,
Curative Valtie
. In Food?
"Recalling that 90 of disease results from errors
in diet, then foods properly prescribed by the physi
cian can justly be said to have curative value."
Dr. Henry B. llollen, in The Medical Standard.
One of the errors in the diet of many people is the use of foods robbed of the
vital mineral salts (phosphate of potash, etc.) which are absolutely necessary'for proper
balance of body, brain and nerves. The result is a long list of ills, including nervous
prostration, kidney trouble, constipation, rickets in children, and so on.
Twenty years ago a whole wheat and barley food, containing all the nutriment
of the grain, including the priceless mineral elements, was devised especially to
correct errors in diet. That food is
Grape-Nuts
It fulfills its mission admirably.
Another physician says:
"Nearly half the year my breakfast consists of a dish
of Grape-Nuts, one or two eggs, or fruit. I RECOM
MEND IT TO MY PATIENTS CONSTANTLY, and
invariably with good results."
This wholesome food not only builds sturdy health and strength, but fortifies the
system against disease. Ready-to-eat, nourishing, economical, delicious
