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.
Uy his election liolph becomes an
international figure with the expendi
ture of millions of dollars under his
direction, with the prosperity of a mil

policies, with the success of the

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.

COATS OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS
Materials and Designs So Varied That I
Choice Is Made Something of
a Difficulty.
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

Caring for Consumptives.
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

agreed voluntarily to care for all their

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. Crowds
come daily and seem to enjoy It
