The fashion makers have decreed
that milady must wear wider skirts.
They insist that akirta must be three
yards la width. And a few will bo
that way, and ethers will be Just
like tho women want them. We ob
serve ee we rubber neck over the
country that style or fashion soak
ers do not control it by a long shot.
The other day, being where we saw i
s half hundred tourists—pleasure
seekers awsy from home we saw el- i
most s half hundred different kinds |
of hats—ws mean shapee, and fully i
as many akirta and ooat suits. It was
netlcaahlo because they all aectnod
different—and some were outlandish
I and some ware Just so and some war*
frights. I
The Idee of the fashion maker is
to put on ecmerhiog new so tho wo- I
mun will not wear one garment too
long. Change la what makes trade j
good, and the women fall for It. '
Few men allow Fashion to monkey ,
with them. One old long Jim Swinger
will last sons* men six years. Xo
matter if the season says “a little
looser" in the cut, the man with one
not quite ao loose pete it on, chew* to
bacco and looks wise and says he
thinks the country is going to hell if
they don’t revise the tariff or If they
do. That stan Is a statesman—and
he figures the coat doesn’t make the
man.
The weasae sees something new—
marked today (27.SO and she wants
it before breakfast. She buys it and
is two Weeks its companion still
standing on the dummy in the show
window Is marked down to (lfi.80—
and the marvels at what happens.
Then she wears the dress a few
times and \ finds a nigger cook who
.will give her two dollars—on time,
and she gpta the first payment of
fifty cents and lives happily ever af
ter.
When the women learn that the
so-called styles are bunco games,
and ktap away from them, there will
be larger beak accounts and more
money to spend for something worth
while.
But why sboudd they loam t They
yet here nothing elee to do. Wait
till they get to running for office; ■
wait until they commence to make
laws; wait until they finally resolve
that dries is shall bo made sensible
and have pockets and no waste ma
terial. Family they will get It down.
They will not wee? pants—but they
will welt* up, end cut out the foolish
ness of so-called fashion.—Every

Safety First.
Don’t kid about safety; you may be
tha goat.
"It doesn't oost anything to be cour
teous" la an old saying. Bat it doaa
net pay to shake hands with danger,
just to show you srs a good sport.
WhOe busy making yourself safe,
take a little time to make your fellow
workman safe, too.
Look before you leap, "Safety
First-"
Don't gvt hurt first and then try
safety. Try "Safety First" and you
wont get hurt.
It is easier to try "Safety First"
than to try to walk with crutches.
An ounce ef> prevention 1»’worth a
pound of curs. Let ns prevent acci
dents and avoid die necessity of com
pensation for than.
So long aa our ayes are the windows
of our souls srs may all look out for
ouraalves. By the use of goggles we
ean ease riak at sot being able to do
this.
Bvery man is tha sola proprietor of
his own shoes. Bat he wants to keep
oo the good side of safety to be able
to wear a pair.
Tha man who will not listen to safe
ty rulsa, may bare to listen to the
sound of the ambulance gong.
A bed at heme is worth two In n hos
pital.
Employees must not trust to the
oars exercised by another when tbsir
own safety is involved.
