PRICES FOR MEN'S SUITS ADVANCE, BUT QUALITY IS BETTER, SAY DEALERS

Prices for the good grade of suits will range from about thirty-five to fifty dollars, which is about a five dollar increase on a suit over last seasons prices. Thi3 is the opinion issued by Richmond clothing men. The grade of material contained in this year's suits and overcoats, will be of a much better quality than last year, however. Suits are going to be very youthful In this respect. The usual sack mod els, for the middle-aged man will have a cut to the pockets and lapels of the higher and more snugly, which gives an athletic appearance. The buttons are placed higher on the coats and are spaced closer top-ether. These modes eive the coat the appearance of having a much longer skirt. The two button, single breasted waist line suits are also to be worn a great deal. Trousers have not made much change, but there is a tendency in some of the sport models toward slightly narrower trousers in the cuffs and a higher waist band. Bell shaped trousers are said to be gaining in popularity. Dress Suits are Vogue. Dress suits are going to be very popular this winter for owing to the removal of war restriction, a great many formal functions will be given, and men are anticipating this, by buying dress suits. Removal of war restrictions is more apparent in the new overcoats for this fall than in any other type of wearing appearal. The fall overcoats will be tailored for appearance and warmth, and the grade of material in them will be of a much better quality than last year. . The collars on the overcoats will be made larger and the lapels and TWO MILLION WORKMEN TO MEET AT GLASGOW (By Associated Press) LONDON. Sept. 3. The trades union congress which will assemble at Glasgow on Sept. 8 promises to be the lagrest ever held. Already 84S delegates have been appointed to attend, the congress representing more than 2,225,000 workers. A suggestion has been made that King George who is at Balmoral should be invited to attend the opening session, some of the labor leaders believing that a personal appeal from the sovereign to the workers to make a special ef fort in the national interest would have a great effect. The parliamentary committee of the congress yesterday considered a request for representation at the International Labor Congress in Washington in Oc tober. DR. WILCOXEN HOME. Dr. G. C.

THE CORRECT PRINCIPLE IN DRYING. Dehydrating Vegetables and Curing Seed Corn.

National Crop Improvement Service. ALTHOUGH the world has been earnestly trying to dry fruits and vegetables in small lots, the drying apparatus which has been advocated by the government and others, to be used over an ordinary cook stove, has been very Inadequate and the product mostly unsatisfactory. It Is now recommended that a long box-like tube be fitted with cleats to hold wire covered shelves and that the heat be supplied from an ordinary one burner oil stove aet in a galvanized box at one end. A fan has been devised which is operated by the slight heat of an alcohol or kerosene lamp which gently but positively creates the desired current. This apparatus will dry and cure vegetables which, when Immersed in water, again will assume their natural shape and flavor. The lieat is not strong enough to

'defense made

OF ACTIONS BY MEXICAN CHIEF Carranza Tells Congress of Alleged Injustices From United States. (By Associated Fress) CITY OF MEXICO Sept. 3. A defense of Mexico against foreign rep resentations, particularly from the United States regarding the lives of foreigners and their property, was contained in a message of President Carranza read at the opening session of congress Monday night. Particular reference was made in the message to alleged injustices practices against Mexicans in the United States. A long list of the alleged offer ses was given under the section of the address devoted to foreign relations. Tho message also defended Mexico's neutrality during the war and protested against charges that the Mexican government was incapable and unwilling to protect foreign lives and property. Says League Is No Good. In the message President Carranza asserted that Mexico did not ask admission to the league of nations because, he said, the league did not establish equality for all nations and races. He reiterated that Mexico had not and would not, recognize the Monroe doctrine. Regarding oil legislature, the message said the government was willing to conciliate, but would not sacrifice its national sovereignty. DR. EVANS SCORES PUBLIC BURIAL OF DIPHTHERIA VICTIM (Editor's Note: The following article by Dr. W. A. .Evans, health expert of the Chicago Tribune appealed in that publication in its issue of Sept. 3). A child died of diptheria in Richmond, Inl. The local papers carried this item: "Funeral services will be held from the home Saturday afternoon at 2 p. m. Services will be public, as the house will be carefully disinfected." In the . paragraph above that from which the extract wa3 taken the statement is made that the twin sister who got sick with diptheria at the same time as did the dead girl "has practically recovered." Inferentially, the sick girl now "practically recovered'" still is In the house in which the funeral is to be held. I am informed that at the time this notice appeared in the paper there were seventy-one case of reported diptheria in Richmond. The weekly bulletin of the Chicago health department recorded sixty-four cases as having been reported in that city. Could Not Entirely Disinfect The expectation is that diptheria will increase in prevalence during the next four months. Now let us inquire into the wisdom of the Richmond policy. Two children sick with diptheria, one om' iho'.iclit to be convales cent. The hou?e is disinfected and the next day a public funeral is held in the house. As the child was still sick it was not possible to disinfect the entire house. Diptheria bacilli do not disappear from the throat until some weeks after convalescence has been established. Then it is reasonably certain that after some parts of the house had been disinfected the convalescent child infected them again. Again, it is reasonably certain that some of the people who helped care for these two children attended the : funeral. The attendants on cases of diptheria are almost certain to become temporary carriers. Let's be conservative and say that one-fourth of those in attendance during the illnesses were diptheria carriers at the time o fthe funeral. Some of these bacillus carriers went to the funeral and mixed with the audience. Then what good did disinfecting the house do, since the people who went to the funeral from the household were not disinfected? A London choir of 1,000 voices has been organized under the auspices of the League of Arts.

Sweet corn dried In this manr-.ei can scarcely be detected when prepared for the table from the fresh corn cut from the cob, and the difference in cost is very appreciable when it is 6tated. for Instance, that fortj quarts of sweet corn put up in the usual manner of preserving will cost $5.60 while the same quantity preserved by dehydrating, by .this method, cost but 16c. Nine pounds of cabbage reduces to fourteen ounces and when rehydrated it becomes crisp enough to make good cold slaw. At this rate, vegetables may tx jshipped dry at parcel post rates. cheaper than by freight under ordinary conditions. Seed corn can be dried bjr this apparatus with great success.
