FRISCO MAYOR HAS BIG TASK It ia a big Job that James Kolpb, Jr., the new mayor of San Francisco, for merly an errand boy, has before him. In taking charge of the city govern m< nt for the four-year term, during which it must.prepare for the Panama Pacific exposition, he will be largely responsible for the expenditure of $100,000,000 for public works. And then, most difficult and most Im portant of all. perhaps, he must "clean up" San Francisco. That is. he must give the city such a moral cleaning that it will present a decent appear ance to the thousands of visitors from all over the world.

Jet Hair Ornament Photograph by Underwood A Underwood. N. Y. JET is the vogue this fall on gown trimmings and hats, and for the hair. To a blonde there is nothing more in contrast, or more becoming, than a brilliant jet hair ornament. It is the crowning success of any costume. HAVE A SYSTEM IN MENDING Will Save Much Time and Trouble, and Garments Will Be In Order When Required. There is nothing on earth like sys tern, and nowhere do you realize this more than in matters of dress. The tiny hole in your stocking that you might have mended in two minutes grows into an undarnable “run,” the rip under the arm in your new blouse extends alarmingly; nothing that must be mended stays “where it is put.” The remedy for all this is a regular mending day or a regular mending evening if you are a business woman As soon as a garment needs mending if it be only a button or a hook that must be replaced, put it aside unless it is so necessary that you must at tend to the trouble at once, and when mending day rolls around do the re quired sewing You will be surprised to find how- much lighter your work becomes when you can thus catch rents and tears at their start instead of at their disastrous finish. The oth er point to remember is to always have your sewing implements where you can get them and in perfect order. Do not wait until the very moment for mending to find that you are out of white thread or that your needles are rusty. When a thing needs re pairing. repair it; when it needs re placing. replace It. It might even be well to have a "preparation” day to antedate the mending one. SERGE COSTUME Light gray serge Is used for tbe I costume we show here. Tbe skirt has in added piece at lower part of sides and back, which is piped at top with silk of a little darker shade; tbe but tons are covered with the same silk. The coat has an added piece to match ikirt The right front wraps over In i point and is fixed with press studs; the cord ornaments being for trim •ning only Gray Tagal bat. trimmed wltb cerise ribbon. Artistic Neglige. A neglige that will make a wedding girt Is a lose kimono, reaching below the waist and held to the figure by rib bons drawn through eyelets nt side seams. Persian lawn nr l*arls muslin Is J serviceable, the edge finished with ! a German Valenciennes un Inch wide, A rayed disk design Is drawn ns a , border around the neck and down each side of the fronts; It may out line the entire neglige These nro j worked alternately In warm pink and ; deep baby blue, the slrnlghl rays run ; nlng from u center or five French knots in black, or sometimes front an : outline the color of the rays, with the ' black knots Inside. A finish is given by adding to the ! outside edge a quarter-inch blue rib j bon sewed on with machine stitch In I black and on the under side s pink ; ribbon that extends beyond the blue Satin ribbon ia effective, but washes badly.

A very jaunty model for a young girl is a coat of wool diagonal, which comes in brown and white, and gray and white mixtures, with plaid cuffs and button-trimmed sailor collar. It Is piped with braid. Another prac tfcal junior coat is made of a novel diagonal mixture, in tan, gray and brown combination. It is semi-fitted, and has a large round sailor collar. The collar and cuffs are trimmed with plaid cloth. A good looking coat for misses or small women is made of all wool navy ! diagonal, with a large round collar and j deep cuffs, trimmed with bands of tan ; or Copenhagen cheviot A woman's coat of heavy blanket coating comes in a variety of colors, j It has a large convertible round sailor collar which will button high at the 1 neck, as well as with turndown collar. ! The collar and cuffs are inlaid with contrasting color broadcloth. An ex tra bag to match goes with this coat An attractive mode! is made of a good quality of gray and brown mix ture. The large round Bailor collar and turnback cuffs are inlaid with good quality velvet * A good looking coat is made of reversible cloth in combina tions of gray and coronation purple, or blue and tan. It has the new set in sleeve. The cnffs are made of re verse of material, and the deep shawl collar and large patch pockets are in laid with reverse of material. Novel Emory Bags. That useful little article of the sew ing and embroidery bag which first ap peared in the strawberry form can be bought at up-to-date counters in sev eral other shapes, among them being the thornberry. grape and chestnut. By this it can be seen that almost any bag, no matter how elaborate-the basket, no matter bow expensive, can have an emery bag to match It A needle worked through this tiny object will have many minutes of vexations endeavor in drawing the needle through the obstreperous silks and the thicker linens. Many bags have a com plement of the whole gamut. New Ideas In Negligees. Fashion's latest decree is to use two thickneses of messaline or thin silk, white for the outside and a delicate color underneath They are separate ly made and are only caught together at the hems. They are elusive In their shadings and are trimmed with five ruffles of five-inch footing. The neck is pointed In the front and the back. The sleeves are rather loose and ruffled from the elbow to the shoulder with the footing From the point at the hack of the neck there Is a square bow of the silk edged with footing. I.eaf green under white makes an ex quisite combination. Silk Stockings. First, buy them large, maybe a full tire, larger than you may wear lu a rot ton or Halo stocking; next, darn loosely the heel and toe and places for garter catchea—all before wearing the atocklnga. This prevents holes from appearing In heel and toe and Hie knee from having ••runners." Ulnae out In cold water after each wearing and the stocking will last two or three time* longer than when these precautions are not taken.—L. S. W., Iti Harper's Weekly. Normandy Noodle.

'Theres no question about it,” said Bcrlbblelgh. “England is the place for an author to live in who wishes to write perfect English.

Do you not agree with me. Lord Miggleton?" “By Jowve you’re bally right, old top!” replied his lordship.—Harper's Weekly. Silent Innuendo. “That woman always speaks kindly of others." “Yes,” replied Miss Cayenne; “but she always does it in such a way as to imply that she is making some ter rible mental reservations.” Equivocal. “Gladys can’t hide the fact that she dyes her hair yellow." “You don’t suppose, do you, that she could keep it dark?” A man isn’t necessarily an artist because he draws comparisons. The public has an inconsiderate way of remembering the prophet when the prophecy falls, and of forgetting him when it comes true.

And when the Fitznoodles asked Mrs. Howler to get up and siDg. “There is a Garden In My Face." the husband glowed with i pride. No matter that she bad a face like a hippopotamus and a voice like an elephant, he sat beaming as she sang, and could not refrain from bending over to bis neighbor and whispering: “Don’t you think my wife’s got a fine voice?" “What?” said his neighbor, who was a little deaf. “Don’t you think my wife has got a fine voice?” repeated Howler. “What?" “Don’t you think my wife’s got a fine voice?" roared Howler. “Sorry!" returned the neighbor, shaking his head. “Can’t catch a word you say.

There are now four special methods by which consumptive workingmen in the United States are being cared for. In such cities as Albany, Elmira and Binghamton, N. Y., the unions support a separate pavilion or hospital. In cities like Hartford, New Britain and South Manchester, Conn., the work men contribute toward the mainte nance of a fund for the care of con sumptives. The employers also con tribute to these funds. There are also two national sanltoria for the treat ment of tuberculosis owned and oper ater by labor unions; one by the In ternational Typographical union, and the other by the Printing Pressmen and Assistants' union. In Massachu setts, Illinois and elsewhere large cor porations and manufacturers have agreed voluntarily to care for all their consumptive employes for a limited length of time. Wasted Blessings.

We Oet a Slap The big coffee trust, made up of Brazilian growers and-American importers, has been trying various tactics to boost tbe price of coffee and get more money from the people. Always the man who is trying to dig extra money out of the public pocket, on a combination, hates the man who blocks tbe game. Now comes a plaintive bleat from the ‘‘exas perated” ones. The Journal of Commerce lately said: “A stir ring circular has just been issued to the coffee trade.” The article further says: “The coffee world is discussing what is to be the future of coffee as a result of the campaign of miseducation carried on by the cereal coffee people. We have before us a letter from one of the largest roasters in the South asking what can I>o done to counteract the work of the enemies of coffee. “The matter should have been taken up by tbe Brazilian Gov't when they were completing their beautiful valorization scheme.” Then the article proceeds to de nounce Postum and works into a fine frenzy, because we have pub lished facts regarding the effect of coffee on some people. The harrowing tale goes on. "Where a few years ago every body drank coffee, several cups a day, now we find In every walk in life'people who imagine they can not drink it. (The underscoring is ours.) Burly blacksmiths, carpen ters, laborers and athletes have dis continued or cut down the use of coffee; as there is not a person who reads this and will not be able to find the Baine conditions existing among his own circle of acquaint ances. is it not well for the Brazil ians to sit up and take notice?” Isn't it curious these "bur ly" strong men should pick out cof fee to "imagine” about? Why not “imagine" that regular doses of whiskey are harmful, or daily slugs j of morphine? If "imagination” makes the caf feine in coffee clog the liver, Re press the heart, and steadily tear down the nervous system, bringing on one or more of the dozens of types of diseases which follow broken-down nervous systems, many people don't know it. But it remained for the man who has coffee, morphine or whiskey to sell, to have the supreme nerve to say: “You only Imagine your disorders. Keep on buying from me.** I Let us continue to quote from his article. “Notwithstanding the enormous increase in population during the past three years, coffee shows an appalling decrease in consumption.” Then follows a tiresome lot of statistics which wind up by show ing a decrease of consumption in two years of, in round figures, two hundred million pounds. Here we see the cause for the at tacks on us and the Brasilian sneers at Americans who prefer to use a healthful, home-made break fast drink and incidentally keep the money in America, rather than send the millions to Brazil and pay for an article that chemists class among the drugs and not among the foods. Will the reader please remem ber, we never announce that coffee “hurts all people.” Some persons seem to have ex cess vitality enough to use coffee, tobacco and whiskey for years and apparently be none the worse, but the number is small, and when a sensible man or woman finds an ar ticle acts harmfully they exercise some degree of intelligence by dropping it We quote again from the article: “These figures are paralyzing but correct being taken from Leech’s statistics, recognized as the most reliable.” This Is one of the highest com- | pliments ever paid to the level-head- | ed, common sense of Americans who cut off about two hundred mil lion pounds of coffee when they found by actual experiment (In the majority of cases) that the subtle drug caffeine, in coffee, worked dis comfort and varying forms of dis ease. Some people haven’t the charac ter to stop a habit when they know it is killing them, but it is easy to shift from coffee to Postum, for, when made according to directions, it comes to table a cup of beverage, seal brown color, which turns to rich golden brown when cream is added, and the taste is very like the milder grades of Old Gov't Java. Postum is a veritable food-drink and highly nourishing, containing all the parts of wheat carefully pre pared to which is added about ten per cent of New Orleans molasses, and that Is absolutely all that Postum is maae of. Thousands of visitors to the pure food factories see the ingredients and how prepared. Every nook and corner is open for every visit or to carefully inspect.
