NATIONS APPROVALNEGESSARY Protocol Provides Withdrawal of Per shing's Forces; Soldiers of Both Countries to Patrol Border. i Atlantic City, N. J.—A protocol pro viding for the conditional withdrawal of the American troops now in Chi huahua, Mexico, and for the military control of the border, but with the stipulation that United States troops shall be sent into Mexico in pursuit of bandits, at any time the American government deems it necessary, was signed here by the members of the Mexican-American Joint commission. One of the official copies was taken by Alberto J. Pani of the Mexican | commission to Mexico City to submit | it to General Venustiano Carranze for his approval. The other .copy was de livered to the American government by Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, chairman of the American commission. If the protocol is ratified by the two governments, the commission will re convene December 8 to resume the discussion of other questions affecting the two countries, especially those re lated to the protection of the life and. property of Americans and other for eigners in Mexico. If ratification by either government is withheld, the work of the conference will be de clared at an end. Following is a paraphrase of the agreement: “First—The American troops, now in Chihuahua, shall be withdrawn in forty days from the approval of the protocol by the respective govern ments, provided that within that time the conditions in that part of Mexico have not become such as to endanger the American border. In such event the time shall be extended. "Second—The American army shall patrol the American side of the bor der and the Mexican army the Mexi can side, but this shall not preclude co-operation between the two forces to preserve peace upon the border. “Third—It shall be left to the com manding officers of the armies on the border of both nations to enter into such arrangements for co-operation in operations against bandits whenever it is possible. “The right of the American govern ment to send troops across the border in pursuit of bandits was not incorpo rated in the protocol, but was made the subject of a supplemental memor andum. Roads Will Need Huge Sum. Washington.—Railroads will need $1,250,000,000 additional capital annu ally for the next ten or twelve years to increase their facilities to handle the country’s growing commerce, Al fred P. Thom, counsel, for the railway executives’ advisory committee, told the congressional railway investigat ing committee, his statement on be half of the railroads. About $250,000, 000 a year a/iditional will be required, he said, to refund maturing indebted ness. To attract investors. Mr. Thom sug gested that the federal regulation should replace the present system of authority divided between the states and the central government. K. C. Case to Be Used as Test. Washington—Attorney General Gre gory has made known that he ap proves the plans for expediting to the supreme court a test case to deter mine the constitutionality of the Adamson act agreed upon in Kansas City by the government counsel and railroad lawyers. The case to be used as a test is that brought by the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad, in which Judge Hook of the federal court at Kansas City decided against the government. Diet Squad Gaining in Weight. Chicago.—The twelve members of Health Commissioner Robertson’s “diet squad” who are engaged in a two weeks’ test to demonstrate that good and healthful food can be served for 40 cents a day despite high prices, are reported to be in excellent condi tion and increasing in weight. The test will end Dec. 2. Wilson Sends Condolence. Washington.—President Wilson sent a message of condolence to Emperor Karl Franz Joseph of Austria-Hun gary, upon receipt of word of the death of the late Emperor Joseph. Long Tftle for New Monarch. London.—According to the Berlin correspondent, as quoted in a Copen hagen dispatch to the Exchange Tele graph company, Archduke Charles Francis of Austria-Hungary will as sume the title. Emperor and King Charles I. Indict Xitizens for Graft Duluth, Minn. — Twenty "leading residents” of Hibbing are among those indicted in connection with the charges of “extravagance and graft,” which have been made. Belgium Levy Increased. London.—The German levy on Bel gium has been increased from 40, 000,000 francs a month to 50,000,000, according to a Reuters Amsterdam dispatch quoting the Echo Beige. The dispatch says the levy is to pay the cost of German army of occupation. Must Eat Com Bread. New York.—Inmates of New York [city’s prison and reformatories will eat corn bread instead of wheat bread three days a week, as a result of the high cost of living. To Be Made at Home for Christmas For the Bedroom Desk An attractive desk set, for either men or women, is made of heavy paper and cretonne. The desk pad is made of an oblong of heavy colored paper. The pockets at the end are made of the same paper, with a covering of cretonne pasted over it. The cretonne turns over the edges and extends a quarter of an inch on the under side. At the ends of the ! long pocket it turns over the edge of the pad and is pasted down. Then the pad is glued to a heavy piece of card board of the same size. A blotter is made of the heavy col ored paper, covered with cretonne, and blotters are tied to this cover with narrow ribbon. A small round pen wiper is made in the same way, with the cover tied to circular pieces of flannel by a small bow of ribbon. Xmas Candle and Lamps Candles for the lunch or dinner ta ble, candles for the living room and candles for the dressing table are among the gifts that delight everybody. Among them are classed small electric lamps (often made to simulate the old fashioned candle) which are used as a substitute for candles. Glnss candle sticks prove easiest to keep clean and shining and are therefore the best choice for the dining room and the dressing ro®tn. Brass or gilded candle sticks. or those of mahogany, are liked for living rooms or the library. It is the gay little shade that makes candlelight so fascinating. This year there are the usual silk shades in rose, or other colors, with gold lace and the tiniest silk flowers festooned on them, and shades of many other things. There are some wonderfully pretty shades made of paper and they include some i novelties made of stiff paper as well as the popular and familiar crepe paper 1 kinds. A bedroom candle, all ready to cast I Its soft glow on the dressing table, Is | shown at the left of the picture. It j is made of thin, white cardboard or even thinner paper, with strips of : black pasted on It. A cluster of three | small roses and fine foliage, made of ! colored sealing wax decorates the shade In two places. The candlestick is of glass and the shade bolder slips over the top of the candle supporting a : mica protector for the paper shade as well as the shade. At the right a pretty little lamp is made for the same purpose as the can I die. It Is all of paper rope and wire. The stand and shade are white and both have small bluebirds of happiness (made of sealing wax) pictured in flight across them. An unwoven space is left In the shade for a blue satin ribbon, which is strung through it and tied In a bow. The lamp is fit ted with a small electric bulb at the top. Lamps made in the same way for the living room are of brown or green paper rope with any color In the rib bon, and decorations that may be flow ers or birds or figures. A chain at tached to the lamp turns the light on or oft. For His Dressing Table No one ever heard of a Christmas | when new pincushions did not arrive to replace old ones and to provide al ways-needed pins. Very elaborate and pretentious ones, of embroidered net and lace and all sorts of rich ribbons, " - —I . nre made to grace the dressing tables vt the ladles, but here are two meant for men. They are selected from a number of small cushions made to hang Dr stand within easy reach near the mirror that reflects an almost pinless toilet, And they are mere pleasantries In pincushions, which will be looked at if not used, and therefore their clever ness commends them. At the left a soft heart—of pink satin—provides a resting place for t kewpie soldier boy. He has a gun Ir his hand and a cap on his read and if all dressed up with a belt about hU waist. He is in sad case for a soldlw . —he can neither shoot nor run. for he is bound to the heart with bands of satin ribbon. But he looku happy and sheepish. The pins are in hiding behind a shir ring of narrow- satin ribboa that en circles the heart. Short hangers, of ribbon, united at the top with a rosette, make it easy to find a place for this cushion. At the right of the picture a pin-tree flourishes. It Is made of a cork, paint ed green, on the end of a short meat | skewer painted brown. The other end of the skewer rests in a little green ' bucket made of wood and filled with brown sealing wax. Black pins, with heads of many colors and white art stuck in the cork, providing the recipi ent with a variety of pins to choose from. The chances are that this little tree will lose few of its branches be tween this and next Christmas, if its ] owner can keep it away from the fe male of the species. Sure to Please Grandma What to give to grandma is the question that puzzles young heads al Christmas times. Here is a little tea cozy which is sure of a welcome from grandma, and j it is the simplest thing imaginable tc make. Printed Japanese silk or silk alene or cretonne will serve the pur- ! pose with equally good results, and it takes very little of any one of these ! materials, even for the largest sizt in teapots. This cozy is made of four sections of figured silk sewed together to form the outside, and four similar sections i of plain silk or other materials sewed together to form the lining. When the lining has been made, it Is covered with a thick layer of cotton batting tacked down to it in several places and the cover is slipped on over it. Then the raw edges of both materials are turned up and overcast together. A very full bow of many loops of bright satin ribbon is sewed to the top. The gayest and brightest of colors , make the tea cozy a cheerful part of tea drinking. It slips on over the pot and keeps the tea hot for a long time. Bags for Everything There are bags for everything this Christmas, with vanity bags and opera bags and shopping bags made of the - richest brocades and ribbons and me tallic laces. A party bag and a shopping bag are shown above, and the party bag is made of plain and figured ribbon set together with corded seams. This bag is lined with silk. It is gathered near the top on a narrow satin ribbon run in a casing formed by two rows of stitching in the bag. There are bows of the narrow ribbon at each side, and the bag is suspended by it. A handsome shopping bag is made of heavy purple satin ribbon brocaded with purple velvet and silver flowers. It opens with a “gate” fastening at the top, in silver, and Is suspended by narrow purple satin ribbon. A hand some silver tassel finishes It Mature Immunity. “Til be glad when I'm grown up,” said the small boy. “What forr "So that I can get my Christmas present without having any Santa Claus slipping around to find out whether I’ve been good or not.” Coals of Fire. “I believe in returning good for evil.” “So do I. That Is why, when my husband refused to buy a parlor rug when we fixed up the house. I am- go ing to give him one now for a Christ mas present” # Mean Man. Bacon—I hear that your wife’s moth er has gone away for the holidays. Egbert—Yes, she has. It’s the first time she's ever done anything to make us happy at Christmas tide. Nothing but the Truth.

"I DON’T SUFFER ANY MORE" “Feel Like a New Person,” says Mrs. Hamilton. New Castle, Ind.—“From the time 1 was eleven years old until I was seven rnr..'.tttth teen I suffered each month so I had to be in bed. I had head ache, backache and such pains I would cramp double every month.*. I did not know what it was to be easy a minute. My health was all run down and the doctors did not do me any good. A neighbor told my mother about Lydia R Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and I took it, and now I feel like a new person. I don’t suffer any more and I am regular every month. ”—Mrs. Hazel. Hamilton, 822 South 15th St When a remedy has lived for forty years, steadily growing in popularity and influence, and thousands upon thousands of women declare they owe their health to it, is it not reasona ble to believe that it is an article of great merit?
