THE FAY MAGNET

FAY OKLA
The Directoire Gown
The cllreetolre gown Is irnking Itself
felt in the order for smarter slimmer
nattier men Let the sterner sex rave
at the edicts of fashion as it may at
last it gives In and the reformers of
sartorial customs find they are snuffed
out by the greater glory of woman's
dress The reaction has struck the
masculine element which once paraded
as the dandy par excellence No longer
called by that alluring name the smart
man ventured an an Mtlre that was
limp airy flanneted no belted but
lo! the dlrerlolre dress has overpow-
ered him He must live up to his
divinity’s amazing toilette No more
“free and eay" habiliments for the
proud male creature of society It Is
reported by recently re timed visitors
in London and Paris that the young
man about town no longer neglects his
figure but keeps his waist within
bounds The lounge salt has ceased
to lounge on the back of its wearer
and color reigns In waistcoats ties
and even the nether garments The
next thing anyone knows declares the
Boston Herald the men will also be
parading in the male costume of the
directolre To do this with dignity the
new “flesh sculpture" must be called
In and Ibe fatal fat carved away Had
Napoleon Bonaparte weighed 300 In-
stead of being a slip of a fellow It is
doubtful If the Venuses of the dlrec-
toire would have worn fashions a la
Grecque Hut the Frenchmen of the
empire were not over and above well
fed To be fut and ehapeiess was the
exception
Another Start for the Pole
For the ninth time Commodore Peary
Stans on a hunt for the north pole
There will he a universal admiration
for his courses and perseverance but
there Is no longer any great degrr of
general Interest manifested in polar
expeditions Even the purely scientific
Interest in these expeditions Is not so
lively as It was 35 or 30 years ago
The scientific Inquiry of the day has
more regard to usefulness of results
than ever before In the general history
and progress of scientific investiga-
tion It is difficult to conceive says
the Baltimore American that the ac-
tual reaching of the axial point on the
globe termed “the north pole" If ll is
ever accomplished will be of practical
benefit to humankind It Is extremely
doubtful whether the actual discovery
of the pole will assist In the working
out of any of the great physical prob-
lems of the earth that are yet un-
solved It will doubtless be a source
of national pride to reflect In case
Peary at last succeeds that the Ameri-
can flag and not some other flag
floats from a staff planted at one of the
axial extremities of this whirling
globe
Uniform Dishonored Again
Another manifestation of hostility
to the national nnlfoim Is reported
from New London Conn In conse-
quence of whlrh the commanding offi-
cer of the Naval Academy practice
squadron bas requested that the base
of operations be rhanacd to Newport
to avoid the di-courtesy with which
his subordinates are treated There
has been similar experience on the
part of sailors at Newport but that
place appears to have repented of
misdeeds and In the fare of popular
protest and official denunciation to
have reversed former action The bat
tleshlp cruise and the example ahown
iy the people of the Pacific roast have
proved that our officers and sailors as
a whole are a well-behaved lot save
the Troy tN Y) Times and that the
courtesies extended are not abused
Newport has taken the lesson to heart
and New London Is likely to discover
tba error of a contrary course
Of course all those who believe In
the Intellectual superiority of the
Caucasian race are prepared to ex-
plain how It happened that a 13-year-old
colored girl won the public school
championship In spelling at the nation-
al education convention at Cleveland
Their notion is that this little negro
girl bas now about reached the age
before which blark children are as
mentally bright as white children If
not brighter while after It they are apt
lo lapse Into comparative dullness
their continued brain development be-
Ing prevented by the early closing of
their skull sutures It Is an Ingenious
If not an altogether convincing theory
rental ki the Boston Herald And yat
It may reasonably be doubted it this
little colored girl ever forgets how to
spell
A lot of the bedixened dignitaries
whose presence la absolutely necessary
when a Spanish royal child Is born
cpuld not get there In time when the
Jaiest one arrived unexpectedly It It
entirely due to the youngster's Ignor-
ance of court formalities that ha made
Such a vulgar mistake

phian cured a case of Indigestion Iff

Stock Foods:
“First — They re no benefit to
healthy animals when fed as direct-
ed either as to Increasing tbe digest-
ibility of the feed eaten or rendering
It more effective for the production
of meat milk' wool etc
“Second— They are no benefll as
cure-all for diseases of the various
classes of live stock neither do they
possess any particular merit la case
of specific diseases or for animals
out of condition of feed etc since
only a small proportion of Ingredi-
ents having medicinal value Is found
therein the bulk of the foods con-
sisting of a filler which possess no
medicinal properties whale er
"Third — Exhorbltant prices are
charged for these foods
“Fourth — If a farmer believes It
necessary to feed stock food at times
he can purchase the Ingredients
and make his own stock foods at
a fraction of the cost charged for
them by the manufacturers He will
then have Ibe additional satisfaction
of knowing what be Is feeding and
of feeding a concentrated food in-
