Narrow Skirts Should Reduce Cost of Living.

Grace Margaret Gould, fashion editor of the Woman’s Home Companion, makes the point in the November issue of that periodical that the material required for one dress eight years ago will make two customes and a blouse today. Shy publishes a picture of a silk dress that was the height of fashion eight years ago. She says that it required exactly 13 x /2 yards of 30-inch material, to make this dress. She says that the fabric then required for the full sleeves would make an ordinary fashionable waist of today. She goes on to say: “In these days, when the cost of • living seems to be constantly on the increase and fashions are regarded as extravagant in the extreme, it i$ interesting to stop and look back a bit. When we have to pay more than we have ever paid before for most of the necessities of life let us be thankful that we are at least paying less for our dresses;”

COLLEGEVILLE.

William Murphy spent Wednesday at his home, Crawfordsville, enjoying the jollification that resulted from his father's election to the office of mayor of that city. Mr. Becker returned again to the raising of the gymnasium last Tuesday, and now promises to have the building elevated to its proper height within a week or ten days. Next Sunday the college football team .will play the Holy Cross Club football team of Chicago on the local gridiron. This should prove to be a good fast game. Last season the Chicago lads trounced the home tram to the blank tune of 17 points. The out-state team reports that they are stronger this season than last, and the college tram certainly is a strong improvement on the )ast year's squad both in weight "and speed. ¥ .

HOW TO ERADICATE CIMEX LECTULARIUS

Government Bulletin Tells Tow to Dispose of Pest That Goes Under Many Names. A pest that is dreaded by all housewives, but whose presence is not necessarily an indication of carelessness, is the eimeaj lectularius. This insect is called by many names in different localities. An old English name is “wall-louse.” In Boston these parasites are called “chintzes?’. In Baltimore one hears them called “mahogany flats,” and in New York they are styled “red eoats.” “Cimex” fe a name given to the bug by the- Romans, who were well acquainted with it; “lectularius” refers to its habits, being a derivative of “lectus,” meaning bed or couch. A recently issued government bulletin gives a description of this disagreeable kgßßt and the best means ot eradecafing it, as follows: * The,Cimfcc lectularius is not likely to be very active in winter in a cold rooms, and ordinarily hibernates in its place of concealment, but in warm .rooms it may continue its activities the year around. It is an animal that displays a certain degree of wariness and intelligence from its long association with man, Like nearly all insects parasitic on animals, having had slight necessity for extensive locomotion, it has, after many ages, lost its wings. The absence of wings is a most fortunate circumstance, since otherwise there would be no safety from this pest, even for the mast careful and thorough housekeeper. Another characteristic feature of this insect is the very distinct odor which it exhales, an odor characteristic of many plant insects as well. The possession of this odor, disagreeable as it is, is also a fortunate circumstance, as it is of considerable 'assistance in detecting the presence of its owner. This characteristic odor is supposed to have been originally the means of protection against birds that feed on insects, but it has long lost this especial value for the Cimex lectularius. The natural enemies that might be kept away by the odor are already kept away by | the conditions under which it livts, and the roach and house ant, which sometimes feed on these vermin, are not evidently deterred by this charae-, fceristic. The “Cimex,” though normally feeding on human blood, may subsist on much simpler food. No other explanation seems to account for the fact that houses long unoccupied still are infested with the pest. The insect, however, is quite capable of leaving any quarters where it is unable to thrive, and will often migrate to an adjoining house if the residentsdeave its present habitation vacant, it displays such apparent intelligence in using every means of escape, as windows, walls, water pipes and gutters, that it may be the misfortune of any housewife to have 'her premises invaded, despite the best of care. Prom its habits of concealment this pest is usually beyond the reach of powders, and the ordinary insect powders are of practically no value., The eradication of the insect is comparatively easy from iron and brass bedsteads, but all wooden bedsteads offer a much more difficult problem. Very liberal applications of benzine or kerosene, or any petroleum oil, is the most practical way to meet this difficulty. This must be introduced into all crevices with small brushes or feathers, or by injecting with small syringes. Corrosive sublimate is also of value, and oil of turpentine may be used in the same way. The liberal use of boiling hot water, wherever it may be employed without danger to furniture, etc., is also an effectual method of destroying both eggs and active adults.

Pittsburg, on the Pacific coast, left with bis ship from San Francisco, Cal., for Guaymas, Mexico, on Nov. Ist. This is the second trip that vessel has made to Guaymas since Ensign Brenner was assigned to it last July. . The United States has ordered other vessels to Mexican waters.

He appealed to France for aid and was turned down and the U. 8. consul has kept the state department acquainted with the situation and pending results the U. S. Is quite active in planning to circumvent any action Huerta may take.

Building a Sandbar Tight Cement Fence Near Winamac.

Pulaski County Democrat. J, T. Washburn, of Indian Creek township, <was in Winamac Saturday hauling oat to his farm part of 40 barrels of cement which he is using to build a fence. It is to be a tight fence, too—not only cattle, hog and chicken tight, but mouse, flea and sand tight as well. A sand hill adjoining his cattle yard has aggravated him for years by shedding over onto the cattle quarters when the wind was high. This fence, 165 feet in length, will faee two sides of the cattle yard and is calculated to keep the sand off the latter. It is to he 7 feet high, 16 inches thick at the bottom and tapered to 8 inches at the top. It will eat up a lot of material in the building, and probably will cost approximately $1 per lineal foot, but he expects it to do , him a lot of good. The editor of an exchange doesn’t want anyone to send him any more copies of hie paper in which they have found mistakes. If they find a perfect copy, however, he offers a big price for it. He adds: “If the fool critic who hunts for mistakes in the papers would find them all he would be kept busy. We will be pleased to buy copies of any paper which can be proven entirely free from errors, either typographically or in statements of fact. We will be pleased to find the merchant who never made a mistake in putting up an order; a lawyer who never lost a case through his own error; a doctor who never wrongly diagnosed a case; a druggist who never made a mistake; a posfcoffice official who never put mail into the. wrong box; a woman who never forgot to put in the salt while cooking or to put the tea in the teapot before putting in the water. Bring on some of your mistakeless paragons who find it so easy to criticize the papers and we’ll give them the chance of their lives to find out whether they arc human.”
