When the war is over—as happily, it
Will be some day—the period of anxiety
and stress will have mapiy bright mem
ories attendant in the minds of those
who have given their assistance to philan
throplc affairs given in a gay spirit. Of
•uch a sort was the cotton ball, and
there was, as well, the gift shop and
innumerable bazars that have already
taken piacx. Now' comes the doll bazar,
which is to be the occasion of a number
of incidental pleasure—the luncheon pleas
ure which will be introduced at the Hill
man cafe, the use of which has been ten
dered this year through the courtesy of
C. H. Nabb. Is one of the chief features,
and according to precedent the greatest
source of gain. The bazar itself will be
a mammoth thing, with not only dolls,
but scores of beautiful fancy articles that
have required the patiepee and skill of
■cores of wohten during the past month
jv two. The service has been given with
the accustomed liberality of the women
who ^vork in behalf of the doll bazar

loyalty this season because of the greater
need of th°i charity—the Children's hos

of the bazar, and is ably assisted by a
corps of women experienced in bazar
work. Mrs. C. H. Nabb, who has long

TALK TO MEN
We have commenced an advertising campaign, and last week
gave an enumeration of various prominent makes of Boots and
Shoes we are the agents for, none of which could any one gain
say as the top-notchers of their class.
This week we wish to specially emphasize our men’s stock,
which is up in the thousands of dollars, and to tell you plainly,
while we have a splendid business on the ladies’ side, we are not
selling as many men as we should, and we are going to hammer
away until we sell more.
And why shouldn’t we sell more?
EDWIN CLAPP & SON
Can any one deny that the above name stands for the highest
and best in every sense of the word?
Were you ever shown the large number of pairs we carry in
stock of these shoes?
AND HEYWOODS
Where can you buy such shoes for the pair
$4.00?
We have every conceivable shape in them—look in our win
dow and see what we are selling.
$3.00 and $3.50
Our rear department supplies a wonderful assortment of
cheaper ones; and we aim to have nothing no matter how cheap,
unless they will give wear.

The other committees include a most
representative coterie.
The children’s fete introduces the first
pre-arranged function In connection with
the doll bazar for the enjoyment of the
juniors. They have always been enthu
siastic visitors to tho bazar, and have
patronized it to the extent of purchasing
whole doll families, bachelor dolls and
society young ladies, fully equipped doll
houses and equippages, besides odds and
ends of fashionable wardrobe apparel, so
that these things, with the fun of the
grab bag and such incidental pleasures
make the bazar each year an occasion of
great joy to the tiny tots.
However, it was announced this season
that besides all this Mrs. Frank H. Crock
ard had agreed to take charge of a great
children’s fete to be given the afternoon
of December 12 at tho Hotel Hillman—
and the children are all bubbling over
with excitement and joyous anticipation.
Mrs. Crockard has secured the assistance
of a number of friends in assuring
amusements for the afternoon. Miss God

English Beauty Tells
Complexion Secrets
Through a fortunate meeting with an
English lady, noted for her dazzling
complexion, I recently learned the full
meaning of that old adage, “Beauty 1b
but skin deep." She taught Hie how to
remove my muddy old skin, revealing
the young and beautiful skin under
neath. The process 1b so simple, harmless
and lnexpenoive, I'm Bure you’ll be glad
to know aboiU It. Just get an ounce of
ordinary mercolized wax at any drug
store and apply nightly like cold cream,
for a week or so. Every morning In
washing off the wax, tiny particles of
worn-out cuticle come off, too. The
action Is so gentle and gradual, there’s
no discomfort. It’s a wonderful treat
ment, as It not only peels off the faded
or discolored skin, but all of Its defects,
as chaps, roughness, freckles, pimples,
blotches.
I am Indebted to the same lady for a
remarkable wrinkle-removing formula.
One oounce powdered saxoute Is dis
solve In a half pint witch hazel. Used
as a face bath, tbts Is so effective that
just one application causes the finer
lines to disappear, and soon even the
deepest ones go.—“Ellse," In American
Home.
FRANCE HAS MANY
BELGIANREFUGEES
Over Two Million Now in
France—Cared for by
Government
Paris, November 20.—(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)—“There are now
more than two million Belgian refugees
in France,” Monsieur Beradi, secretary
of the Franco-Belgian relief committee
has informed the Associated Press.
“France has received them with the
greatest consideration and generosity,”
said, “the government allowing them
the same amount as their own unem
ployed, 25 cents per day to each head of
a family plus 10 cents for each (fhild.
This, of course, is sufficient to keep them
from starvation, but nearly all of them
| have other pressing needs, as they fled
in a majority of cases with insufficient
clothing and lacking other necessities. We
are doing all we can, aided by the French |
government, to solve the problem by find
ing employment for such as are able to
j work, but France has her own stricken
population in the northern departments
to care for and Belgium is obliged to
appeal to other generous nations for these
people, wrhose need, as the w’orld know's,
is not their fault.”
Monsieur Beradi said Belgium would
never forget what America has already
done for Brussels, where the population
was on the verge of starvation.
The first refugees that arrived were
sheltered at the Cirque de Paris and at
the Northern, Terminal, but these quar
ters. summarily prepared, were Inadequate
for the accommodation of so many per
sons living almost entirely in common.
Now several hundred canal and river
barges are being fitted up with more com
forts and sanitary arrangements for their
reception. Hundreds of children who have
lost their parents have been adopted by
French and Swiss families and many
owners of villas in the country h%ve
placed them at the disposition of Bel
gian families. These measures relieve the
pressure on the committee somewhat but
the refugees continue to arrive.
A movement is on foot to establish
colonies in Tunis for such as wish to
emigrate, but the proposition is said to
be no more likely to succeed than the
suggestion to send them to California.
The Belgian, us a rule, is not inclined
to emigrate, habituated as he has been
to steady and fairly remunerative employ
ment in the Industrial beehive that Bel
gium was before the war.
The English spinning industry has given
places to GOT) Belgian workmen and many
have secured berths on the Metropolitan
underground railway in Paris; others
have been placed on farms in the south
and center of France, but the large part
of these twro million unfortunates is still
to be provided for.

Fire ii» Carrollton
Carrollton, December 6.—(Special.)— At
an early hour this morning fire destroyed,
the residence of Jack M. Pratt, an at-'

Germany has taken a leaf from tho

as the result of recommendations

cases of desertion. In almost-every In

ABOUT FOR THE Mi
TO LEADNEXT TIME
Herrick Boom Is Active,
Now, But Many Other
Names Are Under
Advisement
—-- V -
} Washington, December 5.—(Special.)-*
With the democratic nomination ap
parently settled for president Wilson, the
republican leaders have started a can
vass of available presidential possibilities
and are looking to 1916 with interest and
promise of early activity. Of course,
there are presidential primary laws in
Several states to be taken into consider
ation, but with one popular selection,
the. leaders believe, all other aspirants
may be discouraged and driven from the
Held. v
First and foremost, say real leaders, as
distinguished from the smaller fry, tHe
candidate must be a business man, or if
a lawyer one who Is known to have been
closely allied with business affairs. The
time has come, they ar^ue, when the
business interests of the country must
have a man in the White House who has
had practical experience in that line,
r&tlier than one whose views are molded
on theory or observation or the advice of
others.
At the moment, of course. Myron T.
Herrick of Ohio, until recently ambas
sador to France, holds the spotlight in
the republican party, an incipient boom
fc • him having started among his friends
which promises soon to develop substan
tial proportions. Herrick is believed by
his friends to be an ideal man for a
“business candidate,” while his record in
embarrassing times In France will be
used widely in his favor. Finally, sym
pathy will be won for him by disclosure
of the circumstances surrounding*his re
tirement from France—how he was forced
out at his greatest service at the instance
of £t democratic senator to make place
for a democratic ambassador without ex*
perience or knowledge of conditions.
But the strongest man in the minds of
the republican leaders is Justice Charles
Evans Hughes of the supreme court of
the United States. “If” Justice Hughes
will consent to run, trie leaders of all the
republican elements agree that “he will
be elected without doubt.” But the
troublesome “if” arises, and few believe
he could be induced to abandon his con
genial work on the befich, even to help
restore his party to power. Although a
lawyer and a judge. Mr. Justice Hughes
proved himself a business man and tinan
I cier of marked ability by his conduct of
the insurance investigation in New York
and by the natiy^ of the laws he had
framed and passed to rectify the evils In
that line then prevailing.
incidentally, it may be cited that New
York usually furnishes the republican
party with its candidate for vice presi
dent, rather than President, but an excep
tion to this rule at this time would be
warmly welcomed by the leaders, feo
Governor-elect Whitman also has a
chance.
Senator Lodge and Senator Root ad
mittedly are men ably fitted for the pres
idency, but their chances are marred
through their militant factionalism at the
time of the disruption of the party at Chi
cago.
Three virtually avowed candidates are
Senators Borah an^ Cummins and LaFol
lette, each of whom has as much chance
of winning either the nomination or elec
tion as “Bill” Sulzer on the democratic
side. Friends of each are working in
anticipation of 1916, but it all will be
work badly wasted.
Among the dark horses, former Gor
einor Hadley of Missouri seems to be the
strongest, especially in view' of the fact
that only Roosevelt's ^mbition kept him
from the nomination at Chicago in 1912.
“Let's compromise on Hadley,” said
leaders at that time.
“The compromise Is me,” retorted
Roosevelt, with a solar plexus blow at thf
old yellow back grammar.
How about Roosevelt :n 1916?
Not. a chance say fate and politics.

IDOL OF BELGIANS
Germans Also Look Upon
Him With High Regard.
Health Has Suffered
Brussels, November 20 —(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)—Brand Whit
lock, the American minister, Is subject t<$
great demands on his “sympathetic duet.”
He is the court of last appeal by Bel
gians from the decision and orders of the
German military administration. •
Belgians can hardly speak to him with
out tears in their eyes. He has become
one of the heroes of the country. They
come to him with every variety of trouble,
if there Is sickness in their families, or
if news has been received of death or In
jury to relatives at the front, and in the
thousand contentions that arise between
individuals and some officer or noncom
missioned officer of the German army,

Mr. Whitlock'* position with the Ger«
man military people Is also extraordi
narily strong, even though they may pre
fer that he was not here. They seem
never to have resented seriously his go
ing to the markets at a or 6 o'clock lp

all, of the stocks of food. He is being ac
