THE 8EMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. M05 W Dressy Suit in Taffeta Silk SECURE FOUNDATION FOR POULTRY FARM LIPPITT'S SIMPLIFIED GOLF The nearly-grown misB this year Bharos with her elders the charm that lies iu dressy suits of taffeta silk. As befits the modes for youthful wearers, suits mado for her are loss olaborato than those designed for her older sis tors, but they have decorations enough to be interesting. Coats in theso silk models are made in a great diversity of styles, but all of them may bo classed as short. Skirts are not as full as those mado for indoor wear, and depend for om bellishment upon bands of tucks rath er than draperies. Colors are attrac tive, with fairly light shades of green nnd blue, as well as lighter tans and grays, much in evidence. An old fashion which has been re vived appears in the full quillings of box-plaited silk with "pinked" edges that aro used for trimming both skirts and coats. Theso quillings help out in achieving the popular flaro at the bottom of coat3 and In supplying the banded effects and horizontal linos that place the otherwise plain skirts in the modo. A very pretty example of the tallota suit, as developed for a miss In the L Group of Modish Black Hats Among tailored hats tho always pop ular black has more to recommend it this season than it can usually claim. It takes high art and tine materials, ns a rule, to save the black hat from being commonplace. But tho present season has dovoloped a fad for lus trous surfaces, almost everything In millinery Ib shiny, and black Ib re deemed from Its somberness by Its brilliance. In hats, and in many of their trim mings, a black lacquer or varnish cov ers the shape and the wings or foliage that so often trim it. Even ribbons have a polished surfaco mado by some method of treating them, and in black they are designated aB "stovo polish" ribbons. This matter-of-fact name Is accurately descriptive of them. In keeping with tho shining surfaces of things there Is a corresponding finish In workmanship, characteristic of the hats of today. Perhaps theso things account for he advance In prices, which tho public appears to have mot with great cheerfulness. Two brimmed hats and a turban, in the picture, nil boast a meusuro of tho luster and trim finish that Is demand ed In street hats. The turban is mode of satin straw braid sewed over a frame and trimmed with narrow faille ribbon end sllk-flber ornaments that look like feathers. Both braid neighborhood of seventeen years, 18 shown here. It is simple enough to bo mado nt homo, and an ambitious girl may even undertake It for horseir, by tbo aid of a pattern. The skirt is plain except for throo tucks between the waist and knees, and is cut to tlaro with most of its fullness at tho sides and In tho back. It is shoe-top length and has a three-inch hem. Thoro is a girdlo of taffeta mado of a wide bias piece at the waist, to bo worn over tho plain narrow bolt that supports tho skirt. Tho straight little coat Is set on to a small yoke. It Is ornamented with a group of four tucks, near tho bot tom, also. Tho sleeves aro cut to widen toward tho hands. In many suits tho widened sleovo Ib finished with a border of velvot, but In this model tho fullness of tho sleove is confined near tho hand by rows of shlrrings. Tho shlrrings form a cuff, which Is headed by a band of velvet. Tho neck Is finished with a flaring collar and a tie of tho silk. A collar of scalloped organdie overlays tho silk one, both of them opening In a small V at tho front and wired to stand up at tho back. and ornaments have the sheen of silk in a rich and porfect black. At the left of tho group a graceful and smart pressed Bhapo has a surfaco as shiny ns satin. Thero aro two bands nbout the crown, ono of velvot and tho other of stovo-pollsh ribbon, finished with small flat bows. A hand somo ornament of go urn feathers fits tho snappy stylo of this hat to perfec tion. At tho right tho brilliant black of tho pressed shape finds Its match in brilliance in a wldo border of black-and-whlto striped satin. It Is trimmed with a folded collar of stove-polish rib bon and a bead ornament In black and white applied to the crown. Princess Model. In some of the now lingerie models tho princess effect Is adhered to. If Is gained In dlfferont ways. Some times tho fullnesB Is hold In at the waist by means of many small tucks Sometimes the whole frock Is cut In long shaped gores Tho spring turbans aro not worn straight on tho bead, but tipped slightly to one side. Llppitt could afford an all-leather caddy bag and a couplo of dozen clubB as woll as not. Ho has fully a ton or two of unspent monoy, besides owning a steam yacht that combines all tho comforts of homo and tho grandeur of a club. Senator Llppitt was elected to tho senate to succeed Nelson W. Aldrlch. Ho is Borving his first term, which will expire March 3, 1917. Ho waB bom In the city of Providence, It. I., October 12, 185G. PRESTON'S James D. Preston, superintendent of tho senate press gallery at Wash ington, has been given a big piece of work to do this year, but no ono who knows him and his capabilities doubts that ho will do it well. Ho has been put in chargo of the press ssction of the Democratic natlonnl convention in St. Louis Juno 14, and of tho same sec tion of tho Republican convention nt Chicago on Juno 7. Mr. Preston will bo assisted by W. J. Donaldson, who is superintendent of the houso press gallery. Both national committees, by res olution, delegated to tho "standing committee of Washington correspond ents" tho authority to apportion tho seats at tho two big gatherings. Pres ton, a veteran at thlB work, and Don aldson, wero selected by tho corre spondents to keep all but working nowspaper men out of tho press seats. This Job of keeping tho Dress peats for real newspaper men is a strenuouB ono, for tho pressuro for those places is tromendous. But "Jimmlo's" long experience nnd wide acquaintance will enable him to sift tho grain from tho chaff, as ho has done so efficiently on' former Hko occasions. Of course "Jimmle" can hardly bo expected to please everybody, and ho probably won't, but ho will como nearer to keoplng tho nowspaper bunch In a reasonable condition of good nature than anyono olso. TUMULTY SAYS writing letters of thanks for police protection given Mr. Wilson, Mr. Tumulty addressed ono to "Maurlco Jenkins, Chlof of Polico of Topeka," whorcan tho Topeka chlof Ib Harvoy Parsons. Jenkins is tho only Democratic chief Topeka has had in mnny a long year, and it is somo twenty years alnco It bad him. L FIRST BLIND Thomas D. Schall of Minnesota la tho first blind man to bo elected to a seat in tho lower branch of congress. Mr. Schall's life has been ono of con stant battle against circumstances. Orphaned whon an infant, ho ran away with a clfus when nlno years old. From tho day of his departure from his homo at Ortonville, Minn,, ho has been fighting an unequal struggle. Ho blacked boots and sold papers on Chi cago's streets, and Inter was a bare back rider ia a circus. Whon a young man ho returned t Minnesota, glad of working 'or his board nnd a chnnco to attend high zchool at Ortonville. Ho won a scholarship at Hamllno uni versity in St. Paul. HIb ability as an orator and baseball player glvo him distinction. Mr. Schall then went through tho University of Minnesota, becamo a lawyer and soon forged to tho front of tho Minneapolis bar. Ills was a fight without influence, political or flnnnc.al. Ho was fast acquiring tho means of a comfortable livelihood for himself and wifo, when, in lighting a cigar at a lighter, an electrical Bhock seared out his sight. Tho ncrveB wero paralyzed, and now, although his bluo oyes aro bright and clear, they aro dead. "I spent tho next year and all of our monoy in a fruitless search for my lost sight," said Mr. Schall. ' "I returned to Minneapolis 'broke,' worao than 'broke,' In debt and blind, but never discouraged." Among tho United States senators who play golf, Henry F. Llppitt stands alone, for ho hns roducod tho gnni6 to Its lowest mochnnlcal torms and plays it on n simplified basis that li unoqtialed, nt least In Washington. Ma theory Is thnt for a nonprofessional golfor each club used adds just thnt much to tho complications. Ho says H is a needless mentnl strain to have to rummngo through nn outfit of a dozen clubs, trying to select tho ono thnt applies to tho situation nt hand. It ho has to carry a pair of calipers nnd n transit nnd a couplo of assistants to dctermlno nt what nnglo ho should swat a dinky littlo guttn pcrchn ball, ho would Just as soon glvo up golf nnd play parchosl or dominoes. So Llppitt carries only throo plain littlo clubs. Ho owns no caddy bag and carries his sticks himself, and all his caddy has to do Is to trot blithely along, point ing out tho quarry, like n hunting dog. BIG JOB SEE AMERICA Secretary Tumulty, who accom panied President Wilson on his mid western trip, is now an ardent advo cate of "Seo America First." Until this trip Mr. Tumulty had novor been in any big city of tho country wost of Pittsburgh, excepting Indianapolis, which ho caught a fleeting gllmpso of on tho flying visit tho presldont paid to tho Hooslor capital a year ago. Having viewed and admired Cleve land, Chicago, Milwaukee, Kansas City and St. Louis, not to mention tho Mis sissippi river and tho great lakes of Erlo and Michigan, Mr. Tumulty says ho feels it Incumbent upon him to urgo all easterners to tako n trip Into tho United States and become acquainted with tho country. Ho explained thnt boforo ho went to Washington ho was too busy mak ing a living in Now Jersey to travel. Ono echo of tho president's trip hns given Topeka a good laugh. In MAN IN HOUSE Madame Chic, Prlzo-Wlnnl.no A poultry farm built on a socuro foundation Is Buro to bo successful If afterward properly managod. It Is not only necessary to mnko tho right kind of start, but tho work must ho regularly and faithfully porformod, day in and day out. As a rulo, beginners start with great enthusiasm, and not a fow build air castles, but to many of them tho samonoBs of tho work, tho closo ap plication, tho constant watching, soon bocomo monotonous, and then thoro is a shirking of duty, noglcct, caro lessnoss nnd tho ontorpriso becomes a failure Tho point is to begin small moasuro tho slzo of tho initial stop with tho nmount of capital and oxpo rlcuco at hand. It is often tho caBo that mon with moro or loss avallablo capital prac tically put all tholr monoy in Iioubos nnd stocks. This is a nilstnko, and moro so in tho caso of those who havo had no porsonal exporlenco of tho work. In tho pnrlanco of today, "A man must bo on to His job." Ho must know what to do and how best to do It. Ho muBt bo awaro that lnoxperlonco may causo leaks, and leaks will soon sink tho ontorpriso.

Water-glass is purchased in liquid form. DrugglstB commonly retail it nt twenty-five cents a quart, and ono quart Ib enough to prcsorvo twenty dozen of cgg3. For this numbor a Ave gallon stono or earthonwaro crock is the most satisfactory receptacle. Heat ton quarts of water to tho boil ing point nnd allow It to cool.

Placo tho eggs In tho water glass solution each day as booh as thoy aro laid. Uso only naturally clean, not washed, fresh eggs. When tho crock Ib llllod to within two Inches of tho top of tho solution, cover und store in a cool dry placo until winter. By this mothod oggs may bo stored during spring und summer whon thoy nro relatively cheap and production is high, for uso during winter when prices aro high and production is low. Farmer and townsman allko may save mnny dollars by this mothod of cheap Btorago of eggs. It is of tho grentost importance that tho eggs used should bo absolutely fresh. Water-glass will not mnko bad eggs good, but will keep good eggs from becoming bad. Incubator Essential.

DISCARD EGG-EATING FOWLS Ono Broken Egg Will Frequently Start Wholo Flock Place Nests In Some Secluded Spot. (By C. S. ANDERSON, Colorado ARrlcul tural College, Fort Colllhs, Colo.) No flock of chlckons will provo prof itable if thoy aro consumers of tholt own products. Egg eating is a vice which hns ruined a great many flocks of lnylng hens. Seo that your hone havo access lo plenty of grit and lime and aro glvon plenty of prototn-con-tent foods. Bran, middlings, meat, milk, alfalfa loavos, vogotables and sproutod grains aro all valuable In supplying tho uocd of protein and suc culent foods. Ono broken or Boft-Bhollod egg will often start an eutlro flock in tho habit of eating oggs. Furnish plonty of at tractive nests to avoid crowding. It Is best to havo nests secluded and darkened and rather high up. Somo such dovlco as filling an egg flholl with ground mustard paste or rod popper will often break up tho habit, but unless thoy aro exception ally valuablo birds, confirmed egg eaters Hhould bo discarded. TREATING THE AILING HENS Physio for Flock May Be Given by Placing Salt Solution In Mnch Tonjs Up System. Whon lions go off tholr feed nnd you suspect that tholr systems need clean ing out, glvo thorn n physic, nfl you would a person. If it is n singlo fowl, a half tonspoonful of opsom Baits may ho dissolved la wator and poured down its nock. For tho flock or a pon tho salts solution may bo used to wet a mash. It won't hurt tho flock to havo a physic once in two months anyway, whether thoy show special signs of needing it or not. Destroying Disease Germs. A solution of concontratod lyo docs tho work of destroying dlseato gorms In an old brooder, and It Is also in valuablo for cleaning poultry drink ing fountains. Keep Out Wind and Mltes.

If you don't want your lions to get; tho habit of eating oggs, glvo thorn plonty of work, fresh vogotables and a variety of grains. Water for tho Hens. A hundred hens will normally con uurao about four gallons of wator per day. Bring Out the Eggs. Warm quarters and tho right ration will bring out tho eggs.
