The back of the corset

the length of the back is

In corsettlng your figure
the model must be adjust-

having attached the hose

The corset lacing must be
evenly spaced from the
top to the lower edge of
the skirt. This method
and the right corset gives
the straight hack.
This Is contrary to the ]
old method of lacing
which was to draw closely
at the waist, expanding to

COOK CASE TAKEN
UP BY GOVERNMENT
San Antonio. Tex., Nov. 16.—Ac-
cording to advices received by the
Guadalajara Division, No. 540, Order
of Railway Conductors, the case of
Conductor James A. Cook will be
taken up by the United States gov-
ernment. Cook is now being held in
a Mexican Jail on charges connecting
bim with the robbing of freight cars
by Mexican brakemen. He succeeded
in bringing his case to the attention
of President Taft through the agency
of his order. His case is now being
investigated by the Mexican authori-
ties ami a decision is expected with-
in a few days. The matter, if finally
aired through diplomatic intercourse
or the American courts, will throw a
very instructive light on Mexican law
and procedure.
El Reno, Okla.. Nov. 10.—An or-
ganization of Democrats for the es-
tablishment of a statewide Indepen-
dent Democratic morning paper, capi-
talized at $250,000, has been perfected
here, and four lots on the corner of
South Bickford and London streets
were purchased and plans for a four-
story building ordered.
Those Interested In the deal are M.
L. Turner of Oklahoma City, Mose
Wet more of St. Ixiuls, Norman E
Mack, chairman of the national Demo
cratlc committee. Homer Basford of
the St. Louis Times is to be the
editor. The paper will be started the
first of the year.
The paper will carry the full morn-
ing press reports and will be run on
a modern scale. It Is the Intention
to make It the big Btatewlde Okla-
homa Democratic paper and will com-
pete directly with the Oklahoman as
tie party paper of the state.
It was stated here that work on
the building would be begun within
a few weeks and It would be rushed
to completion so that nothing would
hinder the starting of the paper on
lime.
It Is said that a number of other

POLAR PROBLEM SOLVED.
What a chip on the shoulder Is the
North Pole! As though we had not
enough trouble trying to adjust its
discovery, now comes the Domlnlou
cf Canada saying "nobody can own
the pole." As long ago as 1891 Can
ada claimed all the land up to an J
Including the pole. Now the conten-
tion is that our explorers state the
pole Is In the midst of waters of fite
Arctic Ocean, and Is therefore literal
ly and figuratively on the high seas
Such being the case the nations of
the world have Joint ownership, the
smallest as much as the largest. A1
together It seems pretty tough on the
old pole, after walling so many cen
turles to be discovered, to find at tht
last that It doesn't belong to anybody
la particular.

DRUNK TRIES 10 CRAWL
IN A LIONS CAGE
San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 16.—With
a heavy cargo of rum aboard, a
strange man made It his momentary
mission in life to open a cage con-
taining six lions at the International
fair grounds. The man had Just suc-
ceded In loosening the fastenings of
the door of the cake when an atten-
dant discovered him. In the lively
scuffle that ensued the drunk got- the
worst of It. The man claimed to
have sought Ingress to the cage for
the purpose of taking a nap. What
would have happened had the beasts
gained their liberty and ran amuck
the thousands of visitors on the
grounds is not pleasant to contem
" BENEFITEO
B! FUST MAILS
St. Louis. Mo., Nov. 16 — Announce-
ment has been made by the manage-
ment of the Missouri Pacific that it
would today place in service a sec-
ond fast mail train between St. Louis
Kansas City and the West, to be
known as the "New York-St. I uis-
Kansas Ctiy Past Mail," this train
being a western connection of the
new Pennsylvania fast mail, which is
operated on a schedule of less than
twenty-four hours between New York
and St .Louis.
To avoid transfer and to expedite
the movement of this important mail,
the equipment of the Pennsylvania
fast mail train will be carried through
to Kansas City, in addition to the
cars carrying mail from St. L*>uis
and vicinity.
The Missouri Pacific fast mall will
leave St. Louis at 2 p. m., twenty-four
minutes after the arrival of the fast
Pennsylvania train. The arrival time
at Jefferson City is 5:10 p. m., at Se,-
dalia 6:45 p. m., and at Kansas City
9:15 p. m., where connections will be
made for points west and southwest
In Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico,
Arizona and Southern California.
This improvement in the mall-hand
ling facilities will place St. Louis and
Eastern mail in the five states named
twelve hours earlier than heretofore,
and mail for Kansas City will receive
an earlier delivery, as letters mailed
in St. Louis before noon will reach
Kansas City the same evening at
9:15, and be distributed in the first
morning delivery.
This change in the schedules of
the Missouri Pacific, In addition to
the recent important changes in train
service on lines east of St. Louis Is
another important factor that will
bring St. Louis to the front as the
natural gateway from the Bast to the
West and Southwest.
While five hours have been clipped
by the Pennsylvania railroad from
the fait mail schedules between New
York and St. Louis, the Missouri Pa-
cific's new train will more than
double this saving In tlwe to points
West and Southwest.
GREATEST COMET IS PUNCTUAL
The history of Halley's comet, so
far as known, since its first appear
ance in 16S2, is given in an interest
ing facts regarding comets in gen-
eral.
Halley's comet, which is the most
famous in history, first appeared in
1682 and was i:iven the name of Hal-
ley because of that astronomer's pro-
found investigation of it. He fixed
its period of revolution around the
sun at about seventy-five years, and
predicted that it would appear again
in 1759. He did not live to see his
prophecy fulfilled, but It duty
turned—the first body of the kind to
verify such a prediction—and
detected on Christmas day, 1758. It
appeared again fn 1835, passing with-
in 5,000,000 miles of the earth, com-
paratively close. Then according to
all calculations it was to appear
again to the naked eye in the spring
of 1910, this prediction now again be-
ing fulfilled.
TREATMENT OF FALSE HAIR.
How to Clean It Properly and Make It
I.aet and Look Better.
False bnlr will last longer and look 1
bettor If properly eared for, and as the !
best quality Is not inexpensive and
should be selected, it behooves a wo-
man, now that quantities of It are
worn, to know how to make It last
To begin witn, then, a cheap quality
Is the most expensive, for after llttl#
wear it becomes either scrubby look-
ing or so harsh that it canuot t e us*\l
Cheap pieces lose color and either
streak or fade quickly.
One of the most important and dif-
ficult details of caring for chignons is
to keep them free from duat. Like
hair growing on the bead, they hold
Impurities and nuless cleanstxl will
grow dull looking and old. lu their
care a soft brush is an essential, and
every night when the piece* are re-
moved they should be stroked lightly,
but thoroughly, with bristles in suoh a
way that the dost is taken out. This
should not be omitted even for one
night, for once the switch or puffs be-
come dust laden they are difficult to
clean.
No false hair, when not being worn,
should be exposed to the light, for sun
and air will absorb Its dressing nn-
reeessarlly. After being worn It must
never be put away until it has been
well smoothed.
To wash a switch or puffs Is prac-
tically impossible, bat as cleansing Is
necessary at intervals cornmeal should
be applied. The meal must be rubbed
gently, but thoroughly, through the
strands, and then, fastening the top
of the piece securely, a long bristle
brush must be applied vigorously to
remove the grains. Before this, how-
ever, the long hair must be rubbed be-
tween the hands, so the meal will ab-
sorb the dust
Once In a long while, perhaps every
two months, a little oil rubbed on the
false piece will keep It In condition
and aid in preserving the dressing.
For this glycerin is excellent, and the
manner of applying should be careful-
ly followed. Too much of the grease
will almost ruin It, while too little will
not be effective. When using the glyc-
erin the tip of the piece must be se-
curely fastened where the long hair
will hang free. Then a few drops,
scented, may be rubbed between the
palms of the hands to distribute it
evenly and then put directly upon the
hair, the only difficulty being that un-
less care is exercised the grease will
adhere to only one part of the switch.
This Is most apt to be avoided by
pressing the palms lightly when first
they are put on, making tbe stroke
heavier as the grease Is absorbed.
Under no circumstances must there ba
in appearance of grease.

KANSAS CITY ALSO
POSSESSES SOME
Shawnee Electric Railways Com-
pany? or some other railway com-
pany? that is the question.
If Shawnee subscribes for $50,000
worth of preferred stock in the Ed-
wards-Hargrave interurban lines, to
be built between this city and Okla-
homa City, the "Shawnee" will be at-
tached to the name, and the com-
pany will give a guarantee that tho
main offices of the railway will be
maintained here for five years. It
will be a thoroughly Shawnee propo
sition, and not one cent of the money
to be paid for stock will be due un-
til the interurban line is constructed
and care are In actual operation.
The whole proposition was can
vassed at a meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce, held last night, an3
great enthusiasm was displayed.
President Willis E. Fertig of the
Shawnee-Tecumseh Traction Company
was in attendance at the meeting and
spoke warmly of the proposition.
The special committee appointed by
President Rubey is understood to be
making good headway today, as the
stock appeals to those who have
money as a good investment.
Everyone would be benefitted by
talcing Foley's Orlno Laxative for con-
stipation, stomach and liver troubles.
It Bweetens the stomach and
breath, gently stimulates the liver and
regulates the bowels, and Is much su
perior to pills and ordinary laxatives.

Kamas City, Mo., Nov. 16.—The
city finds itself in the attitude of
either having to pay out from the
treasury approximately $12,400 stolen
from the special tax bills fund dur-
ing 1889 and 1890 by dishonest em
ployes in the auditor's and treasurer's
offices, or taking the position of re-
pudiator.
The peculations were from a fund
held in trust by the city to reimburse
contractors who take special tax bills
in lieu of cash for public Improve-
ment work.
The expert -accountants who have
been going over the books of the au-
ditor and treasurer to trace the
shortage completed their work last
week.
They discovered a shortage of ap-
proximately $12,400, and the totals
were turned over to the accounting
firm, Arthur Young & Co., for veri-
fication.
The ledgers and cash books show
unpaid tax bills outstanding to the
amount of $12,558.74 in excess of
visible money in the fund.
The identity of the persons who
committed the thefts Is not known.
It seems apparent, however, that they
were employed in the auditor's anl
treasurer's offices during 1889 and
1890. The statute of limitations has
run and the city has no redress.
A party composed of Messrs. C. C.
Hawk, Clint Rorer, A. T. Brown, Bob
Robertson and Alexander McKay will
leave tomorrow for the Jack Fork
Mountains on a hunting trip.

How to Cook Bananas.
Few persons know the convenience
and delicate taste of cooked bananas.
Few not to bananas born realize their
nutritive value. Yellow bananas can
be employed in many excellent ways.
They are fine plainly boiled In their
■kins and served with cream or sweet
butter for breakfast They may be
boiled with salt pork or baked around
a leg of fresh pork (peeled in last in-
stance) or fried and served with broil-
ed lamb kidneys and bacon. Used in
this way. both the kidneys and the
bananas take on an added flavor by
being together. Select fruit which,
while ripe, is yet perfectly firm. Ten
minutes are required for boiling and
five or a little more for frying. The
fruit will let you know when It Is
done, for it falls Into a pulp as easy to
digest as baby food. Baked bananas
may take the place of potatoes on a
luncheon table, as they are excellent
with all meats. Bake them In their
skins In a hot oven and punch them
occasionally with tbe fingers to see
how they are progressing.
How to Make Cleaning Balls.
Cleaning balls ure easily made and
cost less than If bought of a chemist
To make them take half a pound of
dry fuller's earth and moisten it with
a little lemon Juice. Then add half an
ounce of finely pulverized pearlash,
and make all Into a thick paste. Form
Into little balls, and dry them in the
sun or at some distance from a fire
In a few hours the balls will be ready
for use. When required the stained
cloth should be moistened with warm
water and rubbed with a ball. Let the
garment dry, then brush off the pow
der, and wash It out If necessary.
How to Wash Delicate Materials.
To wash silks and pongees and dim-
ities so that they will look like new
wash them In bran water. For one
waist take a pint of bran, put in a
white muslin bag and pour enough hot
water Into the basin containing the
bran to wash the wnlst. When the
water Is cool enough to bear the hands
In squeeze the bag several times In the
water. Add a teaspoonful of borax
and wash the waist In the prepared
water, rinse and when dry iron on the
wrong side. No starch Is needed, for
the bran will stiffen the waist sufll
clently.
How to Remove an Ink Stain.
A little pure alcohol of any kind Is
splendid for removing stains caused
by a typewriter ribbon. Rub it well
into the fingers as soon as possible
after they are stained. Afterward
wash carefully In warm water and
plenty of really good soap. If you
have no pure alcohol try methylated
spirit
How to Keep Shirt Waiate Trim.
If you have difficulty in holding your
shirt waists down make a belt of
strong elastic two Inches smaller than
your waist. Then sew a hook on one
end and an eye on the other and
fasten nrouud the waist over the shirt
waist and under the skirt band. It
works like a charm.

FIFTY LASHES FOR CONVICTS
San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 16.—That
the convicts at the Harlem state farm
have been subjected to corporal pun-
ishment reaching in at least one case
eighty lashes, has been brought out
by the investigation now being con-
ducted by the committee looking into
Texas penitentiary affairs. While the
feeding and housing of the convicts
was shown to be far superior to that
of the other penal colonies so far
investigated, it was established from
the testimony of several convicts that
as many as eighty lashes had been
Inflicted in at least one Instance and
that fifty lashes were by no means
a rare quota.
The majority of the convicts
pressed themselves as satisfied with
NEW COLLEGE YELL GIVEN BY
WAITERS.
Charles Sellon, the star of "The Cat
and the Fiddle" Company, has many
interesting stories to tell of his ex-
periences and among the cleverest,
we think, is the following:
Mr. Sellon Is a college graduate and
while "The Cat and the Fiddle" Com-
pany was playing at Philadelphia last
season Mr. Sellon was the guest of
honor at a banquet given by the Phila-
delphia alumni of Yale and Harvard,
many of whom were prominent news-
paper men of the Quaker City.
After the Inner m*n had -been well
satisfied the resultant good feeling
culminated In the giving of the college
yells. First Harvard and then Yale
was toasted .s in days of yore. Final-
ly the waiters, until then silent wit-
nesses of the fun, lined up in front
of the cash register and thus deliver
ed themselves:
"A fig for Harvard; a fig for Yale;
We got our studies through the mail,
We ain't no dummies; we ain't no
fools.
Rah, rah, rah; correspondence
schools."
the treatment they received at the
farm. It is thought, however, that
the experience of other convicts who
had "squealed" had a great deal to
do with this. The usual laxity in
administration was shown to exist
at Harlem. Several of the guards
admitted that they had never taken
the oath of afH.ee and were absolute-
ly Ignorant of the rules. That the
Texas penal system Is a strictly mer-
cenary institution is shown more
with each day. For the purpose of
producing revenue for the state the
convicts have been in practically ev-
ery Instance underfed, badly housed
and overworked.

stipation and liver trouble as It will

ly cleanse your system, which Is
