PROVIDENCE BAPTIST NOTES. The revival meetings at Providence will continue every night until the first Lord's day in August. There will be a $300 rally on the first Sunday in August, together with a grand free dinner for everybody. The public is coronally invited to be present and worship with the youngest church in the state. Providence Baptist church is growing rapidly in membership and finance. Many strange faces are seen in the congregation at every service. If you want a seat, come early and avoid the rush. The doors of this magnificent church will be open to the public at 2 p. m. and 8 p. m. every day. MR. HOOE, 3946 FAIRFAX AVE. It has been said that out of the billion of people in this world that there are no two faces alike. So we come to a name that out of our 10,000,000 Negroes in America there is only only family that bears the peculiar name that is spelled Hooe. Mr. A. Hooe's grandfather came from Madagascar, where the whole family came from; therefore, he has one of the most peculiar names on record. See his ad. in another column of this issue. He keeps a splendid restaurant at 3946 Fairfax avenue. We keep our readers informed of the movements of the Cole Bros.' United Show, as we have a number of our St. Louis men with them.

Harding and Miss Katie E. Sherill, of 4227A Kennerly avenue, in matrimony. A great meeting is in progress at Providence. The noted evangelist, Rev J. L. Griffin, of Rochester, N. Y., is preaching, and there is no small stir. Dr. Griffin preached Sunday night to a fine audience, and surred them from pulpit to door. About twenty persons came forward for prayer. Rev. E. Calvin Cole, moderator of the Berean Baptist association, preached at the Second Baptist church of Kirkwood in a grand rally last Sunday at 3 p. m. to a crowded house, and up to that hour they had raised about $66, and it was commonly believed that the $100 mark would be reached at the evening service. WARDROBE CLUB ENTERTAINED. The Wardrobe club, an auxiliary of the Orphans' home board, was entertained last Thursday by Mrs. Thomas Harris at her home, 2736 Lawton avenue. Mrs. Harris, noted for her originality in interesting her guests on former occasions, bore out her reputation as an entertainer on this occasion. After the business of the club had been transacted, the ladies repaired to the dining room, where covers were laid for twenty, and partook of a four-course menu, which was excellent. As the guests seated themselves at the table they found suspended from their water glasses a beautiful "Tom Thumb" satchet bag in the shape of some flower, daintily perfumed, as a souvenir of the occasion. During the last course a large bouquet of carnations stationed in the center of the table was distributed among the guests, by answering questions from a question box prepared by the hostess, an answer to a question being rewarded by a flower. When the box was emptied we noticed various sizes of bouquets. This was indeed interesting, humorous and much enjoyed by all present. A CARD OF THANKS. We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to our many friends for the beautiful floral offerings and the sympathy and kindness shown us during our sad bereavement in the loss of our dear son and brother.

At .3234 - Lawton avenue, Misses Zenobla and Buelah Parker, of Festus, Mo., are stopping with Miss M. A. Brown. They are two lovely young ladies, and I am sure that some young men of St. Louis will make a lasting impression upon them. They will remain here several weeks, and during that time our best young men must see that they do not lack for engagements. THE BIG Bison enjoying themselves. The dashing Mrs. Mary Benard and her lady friend, Miss J. J. Moor, were the attraction of the outing. O, yes, they acted like girls.

MARY, COME WITH ME ANOTHER .SENSATION IN THE HARTJE DIVORCE CASE. MRS. HARTJE ASSAULTED Attacked By an Unknown Man, Who Escaped, On Leaving the Pittsburg Courthouse. Pittsburg, Pa.-Just as she was leaving the courthouse, Thursday, following the adjournment of the hearing in the Hartje divorce case, Mary Scott Hartje, the respondent in the case, was attacked by an unknown man on the street. Despite the crowd about the courthouse at the time the man made his escape. He disappeared through an alley in the vicinity of the courthouse. Mrs. Hartje left the building accompanied by Mrs. Alexander V. Slocum, who has been Mrs. Hartje's constant companion throughout the hearing. The women were on the way to the office of John Freeman, Mrs. Hartje's counsel. They had gone but a few steps from the courthouse when a man, having the appearance of a mill worker, thrust out his arm and grabbing Mrs. Hartje dragged her across the pavement, saying. Mary, come with me. Screaming with fright, Mrs. Hartje managed to escape from the man and found refuge in Mr. Freeman's office. In the meantime the crowd stood about, apparently paralyzed at the incident. The man started to run, and was soon lost to those that took up the chase. Some few minutes later Mrs. Slocum pointed out a man as the assailant, and he was arrested, but released when Mrs. Hartje said he was not the man. This was the first time since the hearing that Mrs. Hartje has appeared on the street without a detective being near. At her own request the detectives were dismissed from protecting her. HENRY G. BROCKMEYER, PROMINENT MISSOURIAN St. Louis.—Hon. Henry C. Brockmeyer, former democratic lieutenant-governor of Missouri, and one of the best-known business men, writers and politicians in this part of the country, died at 3:20 a. m. Thursday at St. Luke's hospital. He had been ill a long time, and the end was not unexpected. He had written a number of works which were recognized not only in America, but in other countries. Among these are his translation of Hegel's Phenomology, of the second part of Goeth's Faust; his commentaries on Shakespeare; his international History and Treatise on the Mississippi, which was widely known; his notes on happenings of the day, and his comedy, "The Errand Boy", which was never produced, but which treated humorously of Washington official life, and his "Soggy Night at Newport," which had a considerable sale. Lieut-Gov. Brokmeyer was one of the founders of the School of Philosophy at Concord, Mass., with Dr. William P. Harris, recently given a life annuity by the Carnegie foundation, as one of his associates. THIRTY INJURED IN FRISCO WRECK Springfield, Mo.—Upwards of thirty persons were injured, two of them fatally, as the result of the wreck of St. Louis & San Francisco passenger train No. 12, bound for St. Louis, at 11:15 o clock Thursday night. The fatally injured are: R. J. Thorp, of Monticello, Mo., concussion of the brain. Mrs. Kate Sholtey, injured internally. The wreck was caused by a defective split switch. Three coaches passed over in safety, but the fourth left the track and turned owed. This coach contained about 60 passengers, and all of them received slight injuries. Two sleepers did not leave the track. Paris, France.—An official denial was issued Thursday of the report that Maj. Dreyfus' face was slapped by an unnamed army officer at the Cercle Militaire, one of the most exclusive clubs in Paris. Dreyfus lined at the club, but he was not molested. The report of the attack was so widely circulated that the official denial was given out. Editor Charles E. Whittaker Dead. Clinton, Mo.—C. E. Whittaker, Sr., editor and proprietor of the Clinton Democrat, for 50 years a newspaperman in Missouri and Illinois, died, Thursday, aged 70 years. He was a member of the Illinois state legislature in 1877. To Retire From the Bench. Salt Lake City, Utah—Judge Geo. W. Bartch, chief justice of the supreme court of Utah, tendered his resignation to Gov. Cutler, to take effect October 1. Justice Bartch desires to resume the practice of law. GERMANY JUST, AS BAD AS THE UNITED STATES. FEW PRODUCTS ESCAPE Subject of a Report To the Bureau of Manufactures From Our Consul at Kehl. Washington, D. C.—German food adulteration is the subject of a report received by the bureau of manufactures from Consul Brittain of Kehl, Dr. Jackenack, of Berlin, states that there were in Germany, in 1888, 1,400 prosecutions for adulterating food products; in 1898 the number had increased to 3,000; in 1901 to 3,586, and in 1903 to 6,000. With increased stringency in the inspection laws, it was discovered that many large and reputable German firms were carrying on privately special departments of their factories where regular chemists were employed to scientifically adulterate their food products. Thirty Berlin butter manufacturers were summoned before the court for an almost incredible adulteration of their wares, and the German papers have frequently published accounts of the manufacture, in Strassburg and elsewhere, of sausages from spoiled meat, colored and doctored with chemicals. Few weeks pass in Strassburg without the arrest of market women for adulterating butter. Wines, chocolate, cocoa, brandies and medicines have been discovered to contain absolutely injurious and dangerous substances used for adulteration. Cosmetics and perfumes contain many foreign ingredients. In fact, according to a Strassburg paper, there seems to have been very few articles of manufactured food and drink products which have not been the subject of investigation by the German government. WERE PARDONED BY PRESIDENT PALMA Havana, Cuba.—President Palma has pardoned Miss Millie, L. C. Giltner and Wm. Augustine, Americans residing in the Isle of Pines, and a message was immediately sent by wireless telegraph ordering their release. The pardon is the outcome of efforts of Charge d'affaires Sleeper, who obtained the promise of Secretary of Justice O'Farrill to recommend clemency if the trio would promise not to again violate the American military order prohibiting private telegraph wires. This they did. PULAJANE FANATICS ROUTED. Desperate Battle On a Trail In the Island of Leyte. Manila, P. I—A detachment of the Twenty-fourth infantry (colored) and a company of native constabulary were attacked by hundreds of Pulajanes, while on a trail between the towns of Toloss and Domami, island of Leyte, and a desperate battle took place, resulting in, the rout of the fanatics with a loss of 50 killed and more than 60 wounded. The only American casualty was one sergeant of the constabulary wounded. IN CIRCLE MILITAIRE New York.—A Herald special Paris cable says: Just after being honored by President Falliieres at the Elysse palace, Wednesday, Maj. Dreyfus was publicly insulted in the Circle Militaire, one of the most exclusive clubs in Paris, by a commandant, who slapped him in the face. This brought about an immediate clash in the club and will tend to revive disputes over the Dreyfus affair throughout France. Convicted of Murder of Sheriff Polk of Iron County, Mo. Centerville, Mo.—Arthur Spaugh, who was convicted of second degree murder for the killing of the sheriff of iron county, Missouri, was Wednesday, sentenced to 75 years in the penitentiary. Farm Land In Wisconsin Sinking, Due to Earthquake. Sheboygan, Wis.-Upwards of 37 acres of cultivated land on the border of Long lake in Fond Du Lac county, has sunk, and now are covered with deep water. The sinkage is supposed to be due to a slight earthquake shock. Farmers in the neighborhood are alarmed and afraid to go near to investigate the strange phenomenon. Due To an Explosion. Due To An Explosion. Newark, N. Y.—A terrible explosion, presumably of a naphtha tank, wrecked the saddlery and leather plant of M. Caffey & Sons here. Four men were burned seriously, one fatally and three others slightly. The fire which followed practically destroyed the plant. Prominent Mining Man Dead. Virginia City, Nev.—Jas. McKinley, who was superintendent of the Consolidated Virginia and Ophir mines, and one of the most prominent mining men in the state, died, Wednesday, of menr's consumption.

Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the daily daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Boheman, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW.

Stone has announced the appointment of the Missouri members of the reception committee to meet William J. Bryan on his return to New York city, August 29, from his trip around the world. The committee which was originally intended to consist of ten members with Gov. Folk as chairman will be increased to 25. In addition to those appointed on the Missouri reception committee the democratic members of congress of the state, the president of the Jefferson and St. Louis democratic clubs of St. Louis, the Jackson club, of Kansas City, and the Monroe club of St. Joseph, have been invited to take part in the reception. Those appointed are: Gov. Folk, chairman; former Gov. Francis, Charles W. Knapp, of St. Louis; former Gov. Lon V. Stephens, Col. Thomas C. Hennings, Harry B. Hawes, Moses C. Wetmore, of St. Louis; Sam B. Cook, of Jefferson City; Judge W. N. Evans, of West Plains; former Gov. T. T. Crittenden, of Kansas City; James A. Reed, of Kansas City; former Gov. A.M. Dockery, of Gallatin; W. A. Rothwell, of Moberly; D. A. Ball, of Louisiana; George C. Orchard, of Poplar Bluff; H. F. Stapel, of Rockport; Dr. John France, of Forest City; Fred W. Fleming, of Kansas; Thomas Connor, of Joplin, and Ralph Walker of Springfield. Folk Against Mail Orders. Folk Against Mail Orders. Gov. Folk's address to the retail merchants of Missouri at their convention at Jefferson City was the feature of the session. The governor said: "We are proud of our splendid cities, and we want them to increase in wealth and population and we also want our country towns to grow. We wish the city merchants to build up, but we also desire the country merchants to prosper. I do not believe in the mail order citizen. If a place is good enough for a man to live in and make his money in, it is good enough to spend his money in. No merchant can succeed without advertising in one way or another. Patronize your own town papers, build them up and they will build the town up and build you up increased trade and greater opportunities. Do not be afraid that business is going to be hurt by the recent exposures of wrongdoing in the commercial world. No man who is doing an honest business can be injured by the light. All business will be better for the cleansing process it is going through and for the stamping out of evil." Walnut Log From Earthquake. Upon the west bank of the Mississippi river at Caruthersville, the thriving capital of Pemiscot county, the most southeastern of the counties of Missouri, is a walnut log which dates back to the New Madrid earthquake of 1812. Reelfoot lake, near Caruthersville, a great body of water adjacent to the Mississippi river, was formed by the sinking of the land caused by an earthquake. When the land shrunk it took down with it beneath the surface of the water which flowed in a large forest of walnut tress. It was one of these trees which had been dragged from the bottom of the lake. Smaller trees had been previously taken out. The present tree, however, is the giant of the forest, over 70 feet in height and over three feet in diameter. It is free from sap, has no signs of decay and is as black and satiny as the most polished and prepared wood. R. B. West, of Caruthersville, bought the log, which is nearly the entire tree, for $100 and will convert it into walnut lumber for exportation.—Columbia Herald. Odd Fellows Plan Big Rally. Odd Fellows Plan Big Rally. The Odd Fellows of Southwest Missouri, which embraces lodges in 23 towns in a district of which Springfield is a headquarters, will hold a conclave in that city on October 24 and 25. A permanent conclave association has just been organized, and it is expected that between 5,000 and 10,000 Odd Fellows will be there at the initial gathering. Parades and competitive drills, in which mounted cantons and drill and degree teams will participate, will be held. Several of the officers of the supreme grand lodge will be present. At this first gathering Odd Fellows from Arkansas and Kansas are also to be invited. The committee on arrangements is preparing to care for 10,000 members, and it is expected that fully as many more visitors will be there. Prize Fighter in Jail. "Big Jim" McCormick, a prize fighter was taken to the Carthage jail on a charge of assault and robbery. McCormick and a young mining operator, Frederick Dunham, were drinking and started home in Dunham's buggy. Dunham appeared at the police station and stated that McCormick had forced him from the buggy, robbed him and threw him into a cavedin mining shaft. For a Big Sedalia Shoe Factory. For a Big Sedalia Shoe Factory. A shoe factory of St. Louis, has submitted a proposition to establish a branch factory at Sedalia in consideration of a bonus of $50,000. The factory is to employ between 500 and 800 persons at the beginning, with a pay roll of not less than $2,500 a week. An Occupation Tax Invalid. The occupation tax ordinance which has been in effect at Monett for several months was declared unconstitutional by Judge Johnston in the circuit court in Mt. Vernon. State's Surplus Forest Products. The surplus forest products of Missouri for 1905, if they could be gathered together and transported to San Francisco, would go a long way toward rebuilding that unfortunate city. Enough lumber, logs and cooperage came from the 114 counties of the state last year to furnish the woodwork for all buildings which were destroyed there either by the quakes or the disastrous fire which followed. The annual report for 1906 of State Labor Commissioner William Anderson will contain some valuable and interesting data on Missouri as a lumber state. It announces that the forestry surplus for the year just recently closed, according to information made public at the labor bureau brought $26,319,348, which in an increase of $6,000,000. The forestry industry instead of declining, as has been predicted for some time by timbermen, is still climbing up and will continue to do so for three or four more years, because new railroads are opening new regions which were formerly inaccessible, and all grades of timber are now being sent to the market and sold. The following table from the advance sheets of Commissioner Anderson's 1906 report tells a marvelous story of the forestry wealth of Missouri, and the surplus shipments for 1905 from the 114 counties.

The Missouri Retail Merchants' Association recently held its seventh annual session at Jefferson City. The wholesale houses that sell to consumers and the trading stamp concerns and houses that give premiums were roundly denounced and resoluted against. Officers of the association for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, Henry Phelps, of Joplin; first vice president, H. C. Lutz of St. Louis; second vice president, A. S. Werremeyer, of St. Louis; third vice president, John L. Beck, of Jefferson City; fourth vice president R. C. Dolph, of Sedalia; fifth vice president, I. L. Daly, of St. Joseph; secretary, F. G. Chinn, of Jefferson City; treasurer, W. A. Banks, of St. Louis Sedalia was selected as the place for meeting next year. To Divide Large Estate. To Divide Large Estate. After five years the estate of the late Col. John O'Day will be closed up at the approaching August term of the Greene county probate court. Col. O'Day died in 1901, but the estate has never been divided. It is about double the largest estate ever held by one man in Greene county. The real and personal property amount to more than $1,000,000. The O'Day will was filed for probate August 9, 1901. It names as legates Mrs. Sue I. Baldwin-O'Day, John O'Day, Jr., John Baldwin. Alie and Catherine O'Day. Mrs. Sue I. Baldwin-O'Day was his third wife. The other two, from whom he was separated, were provided with property and were not named in the will. Mother and Daughter in Same Grave Mrs. Dr. Mitchell, 80 years old, a pioneer of Clay county, died recently at Liberty. She was the mother of 13 children, seven of whom survive her. Her husband was a prominent physician in that county for years dying about 15 years ago. Her youngest daughter, Mrs. Frank Finnell, who died in Kansas City was buried in the same grave with her after a double service at the Second Baptist church. Gas for Two More Towns. J. T. Woodruff, president of the Springfield Club, has received word that the Joplin Commercial Club has appointed a committee of Joplin business men to go to Springfield to confer with a like committee from that place concerning the plan to put natural gas in Joplin and Springfield by a pipe line from the Kansas field. A proposition of this kind has been made and both cities will take it up. Centralia Postmastership. The first assistant postmaster general has announced that no appointment for a postmaster at Centralla would be made for several months. Meanwhile J. M. Phelps, the present incumbent, will hold on, although his term expired May 8. Besides Mr. Phelps, who seeks reappointment, W. P. Reed and E. J. Smith are candidates and all have good indorsements. Sedalia Gaming Tools Burned. While gambling paraphernalia burned in the principal street of Sedalia the Rev. J. M. Rudy, who caused the raid in which it was taken, made a speech from a box, telling how it was done. Nine poker players were arrested in the gambling place and were fined $25 each. A $75,000 Fire in Wentzville. Almost all the business section of Wentzville, St. Charles county, was destroyed by fire recently. The loss is estimated at $75,000. A. F. and A.

Have they discussed the action of Mrs. Mahoney and the conditions of the transfer of the house at 2811 Howard street? Let us hear from these dignitaries. The lady on Lindell boulevard, in the 5500 block, had better keep clear of 2100. Your husband has been thinking that you go to church. Look out. You had better look out, for the eagle's eye is on the lady who lives in the 5500 block on Lindell boulevard. She had better stay away from Pine street, in the 2100 block, or some night her husband will start a rough house when she comes home. The Colored people of St. Louis are learning to patronize Colored business men. They show it by the liberal manner in which they are supporting the new gents' furnishing store of Randall & Wells, at 2230 Market street. Among those who are worthy of special mention are the Johnson Bros. and Mrs. Adams, of 2225 Walnut street; Mr. Nelson Pope, of 2223 Market street, and many others that we could mention. We have heard it said that Colored people will not patronize a Colored man in business, but the way they are trading with Randall & Wells proves that the statement is unfounded.

In These Summer Days of "Laying-Off," Remember Rest Is an Adjunct to Beauty. We will suppose you have been taking care of your skin with absolute cleanliness, a judicious use of powder, liquid or dry, creams and lotions, which we are for ever describing. You look years younger, your friends tell you in consequence, and so, doubtless, you do; but try the effect of being well in the air for a day or two, taking healthful exercise, not too much, eating simple food, as much country fruit and vegetables as you can get, and "lazing," if we may use such a term, without being bored. We cannot too strongly urge on those who deem self-development and beauty culture a duty to give their skins fresh, pure air, and take health-giving exercise daily, but not to be over-tired. Most people we come in contact with are simply rushing their very life out of them. We all want a little rest and peaceful reflections daily. With all we do we hardly remember from day to day where we have been, what we have seen, what we have read. The deplorable want of memory of the present generation is much due to the hurry and excitement of modern life; even the present rapid modes of transit tell on us, and mostly because they enable us to do overmuch and travel over greater space than is necessary. An admirable mode of resting for Natty Bolero Costume. Boleros Are of Infinite Variety and This We Consider an Exceptionally Good One. Here we have another bolero to be made in the same material as the skirt; it is a pretty pattern for wearing with corselet skirts, as shown in our illustration. The body part hangs with fulness. The fronts turn back with silk-faced revers ornamented with silver buttons. The collar is of Irish point mounted over silk. The wrists of the puck- A STILL ANOTHER BOLERO. ered sleeves are also trimmed with Irish point. Large silk cuffs like the revers trim the sleeves above the elbow.

It is merely a turn-over, not nearly as wide as a sailor collar, and in some cases not over a finger, or even less, in depth. It buttons at the front and there may be worn a necktie, if one cares for a knot at the throat. A Byron collar is easy to make, for it calls for very little skill in the way of cut, construction or finish. It is cut rather low at the throat, there is a pearl button, and then the collar simply turns over and the four-in-hand tie can be run underneath it and knotted in the front. the over-tired is to lie flat on the back on the ground without any pillow, the legs straight and the arms extended. One of the leading physicians used to recommend this for half an hour or so to hard workers in preference to tea and any other pick-me-ups. It is quite true that it is as effectual. Before you start for your holiday treat your hair to a little more cleansing and strengthening hairwash than usual, rub in some good skin food to your face, manicure your hands with special care, and then take holiday. Do not rashly expose your face to the sun's too powerful rays. Wear a gauze vell, get the easiest of wash-leather gloves, so that your hands do not unduly spread with active exercise and get burnt. Let your boots have broad, solid soles that allow you to walk in comfort without injuring the muscles, and you will return looking in perfect health, with skin, hair and physique generally at their best. Those who rush off abroad sightseeing and doing twice as much as their strength warrants will not derive the same benefit. That is all very well for those who are leading quiet lives in the country, but to leave the hurlyburly of the town for the hurried sightseeing abroad only draws more on the limited reserve of nerve power. It may instruct the mind, but it leaves the body lamenting. Rest is one of the most powerful adjuncts in beauty culture. the round neck, and who do not care to wear a stiff linen collar or a high stock, are compromising on the Lord Byron, which is betwxxt and between all of these. The pretty piazza girls are decorating themselves in a wonderful way this year, for the styles are such that they can be very dressy without overdoing the matter. Armlets are sold this year, and they are very much appreciated by women whose long gloves wear out too soon. It is a fact that your arms are perfectly good, while your hands are worn out. Very often you can simply cut out the hands of your gloves and replace them with armlets and short gloves. If this is neatly done, the sewing will not be visible. The armlet is simply a 20 button length glove, without a hand, and it can be bought in any large shop to wear with short gloves, and thus there is another saving in dress. Or, the armlet is worn without a glove—and this is very smart, indeed. A Pretty Little Sack. A Pretty Little Sack. There Are Numerous Frivolous Summer Coats for Baby as Well as for Its Mother. More delicate sacks of finest lawn or even of white mousseline made up over pink or blue inset with Valenciennes and trimmed with Valenciennes edging, are among the baby's luxuries, and the charm of the baby coats displayed in the exclusive shops beggars description. They are made of various kinds of silk, with or without warm lining of cashmere or cloth, and, most delightful of all for summer days, of sheerest muslin over silk. Deep cape collars of the muslin delicately hand embroidered and lace edged and inset with lace and ornamented with infinitesimal hand tucks are on most of these coats. Some are embroidered down the fronts, others plain, save for the exquisite collar, the lace at the wrist and the lace trimmed A SUMMER COAT. frills on the coat bottoms; a deep hem-stitched or feather stitched hem is often preferred to the bottom ruffle. The soft china silk lining may be attached to this outside all around, but is more often fastened in only at the shoulders and neck and falls loose below. Transparent lace is a favorite trimming for smart tub dresses, and batiste and mull embroidery is another charming and fashionable decoration. A.

LITTLE MEN and Little WOMEN How to Swim Correctly Instructions for Boys and Girls Who Care to Learn Without Professional Teacher. Stand up to the waist in water; then brace the right foot against a wall, or any solid object; bent knees leaning forward; arms stretched out to their full length in front; thumbs touching each other; palms paralleled with water. Now push off, straightening the body so as to lie face downward, skimming the top of the water. Be careful to do this toward dry land, or in the direction of shallow water. Repeat this as often as you are inclined, en- 100 deavoring to increase the push off to a distance or six or eight yards. Hold your breath while lying face downward on the water. Go through the movements perseveringly, for it will take the novice some time before he can master these motions absolutely, says Meyers, the swimming instructor of the Missouri Atheletic club. Be particular to keep your body extended to its full length, heels together, toes drawn upward. This is a lesson in creating confidence, because it will show you that your upper body AT FULL LENGTH. will not sink, although your legs will slowly do so. The Leg Movement — From a stretched position draw the legs up to position marked 3; then kick sideways as far as possible, bringing the legs together again as in the first position. Repeat the movement slowly but deliberately, and with some force, in one, two, three time measure. After three self-lessons, each spent separately, at the legs and arms movements, try the same together. As you advance from lesson to lesson it will become less tiresome. You will not only enjoy the tonic effect of the cool bath, but the Soap Bubble Contest. A Delightful Pastime for Some of the Summer Days When Playing with Your Friends. Outdoor sports form the chief pleasure of the fine summer days, and one of the most delightful and picturesque diversions is a soap-bubble contest on a tennis court or a lawn. This sport is productive of much fun if the party is divided, with one half the number of boys and girls on each side of the net. A table should be placed on each side, near at hand, and on it should be a large bowl of soapy water, with a tablespoonful of glycerine added, as this adds to the THE GAME IN PROGRESS. beauty of the bubbles and makes them last longer. Clay pipes should be provided for the players, and they should be tied with ribbons denoting the respective sides. The girls make the bubbles and the boys blow them over the net, and also try to prevent their opponents' bubbles from coming over the net into their court. Each bubble that Favorite Card Game of Japanese. A game popular with both grown people and children in Japan is played as follows: One hundred well-known proverbs are selected, each divided into two parts, each part printed on a separate card. The host has the hundred first halves while he reads aloud, one by one. The hundred second halves are dealt to the other players, who place their hands upward upon the "Tatami," or thick mat of the straw on which they sit. As the first half of any proverb is read, the holder of the second half throws it out, or, if he sees it unnoticed among his neighbors, seizes it and gives him one of his own. The player who is first "out" wins. It is a very simple game, but THE START movements of the arms and legs, together with the enforced deep breathing, will greatly improve your bodily functions. If you are anxious to swim, have a THE LEG MOVEMENT. friend accompany you to be of assistance to you in acquiring the art, as well as for safety's sake. Let him support you, as illustrated. Bring your hands, thumbs touching each other about three inches below the surface in front of your chin. Head and mouth are now above the water. Deliberately thrust your hands out in front of you, and with outstretched arms describe a quarter circle sideways and downward to about two feet below the surface.

This sideways and downward movement of your arms has a double object of propelling the body forward and upward. Repeat this until tired, and until you have learned to breathe regularly with each stroke of the arms. Do not attempt any leg movements until you have thoroughly mastered the arm movement correctly. Be patient—the most apt pupil, under the best instructor, rarely learns to swim correctly in less than ten lessons. floats over the net counts 15 points for the side from which it came, and, of course, the side scoring highest within a given time wins. Pretty prizes for this sport would be a basket of tiny bouquets of summer flowers for the winning side. A bubble game may also be played on a long table placed on the lawn and covered with a woolen cloth. Ribbon-bound wickets should be placed at intervals, and the players, divided into two sides, take turns, by sides, in trying to blow the bubbles through the wickets. Each player blows three different bubbles for a turn, and scores five points for every wicket passed. If the first bubble is blown through the first wicket, the second bubble is to be blown from there, the player trying to blow it through the second wicket; and the third bubble is blown from where the second bubble passed. If, however, the first bubble breaks before passing the first wicket, the second bubble must try for that goal before it can pass the second. This is very entertaining sport, and it may be varied by offering a series of prizes, as follows: For the biggest bubble, for the bubble with the most brilliant hues, for the greatest number blown from one pipe, or for the longest chain of bubbles. For the chain of bubbles, a wooden pipe is used in the shape of a mallet, the head of which is a hollow tube like the stem. In prize contests, the players will find it pleasant to try in pairs, the two pipes having colored ribbons allike, and each player finding his or her partner by matching the ribbons. it affords a great deal of amusement to the players, for the quick-sighted and keen-witted are constantly seizing the cards of their duller and slower neighbors. This leads to much laughter and good-natured teasing. The Sacred Tooth In a recent lecture in New York an American traveler told of a sacred tooth in India, which for 2,400 years had been an object of worship and for which $250,000 had been refused. "In hundreds of other shrines in India," he said, "the teeth of human beings are worshiped by Hindoos, who above all, value good teeth as the reward of good ancestry and of eternal vigilance in the care of the body. A Balloon Incline Railroad. Consul William Bardel writes from Bambery that Engineer Balderauer, of Salzberg, has invented a balloon railroad, experiments with which are now being made in the mountains in the neighborhood of that German city. It consists of a stationary balloon, which is fastened to a slide running along a single steel rail. The rail is fastened to the side of a steep mountain, which ordinary railroads could not climb, except through deep cuts and tunnels. The balloon is to float about 25 feet over the ground, and a heavy steel cable connects it with the rail. The conductor can, at will, make the balloon slide up and down the side of the mountain. For going up the motive power is furnished by hydrogen gas, while the descent is caused by pressure of water, which is poured into a large tank at the upper end of the road, and which serves as ballast. Suspended from the balloon is a circular car with room for ten passengers. The cable goes from the bottom of the balloon through the center of the car to a regulator of speed, which is controlled by the conductor. The inventor of this railroad claims that his patent will force all incline cable roads out of existence. The Things We Eat. Too much meat is absolutely hurtful to the body. Sailors on board of ships get scurvy when their supply of vegetable food is exhausted. The digestive organs of the human body demand vegetable food, and if we don't eat enough vegetables we pay for it dearly. Nature gave us wheat, and in every kernel of wheat nature has distributed iron, starch, phosphorus, lime, sugar, salt and other elements necessary to make bone, blood and muscle. EGG-O-SEE is wheat scientifically prepared. Cooked, and made into crisp flakes, EGG-O-SEE goes into the stomach ready for the digestive organs to convert it into life-giving substances with but little effort. EGG-O-SEE eaters are a clean-eyed, strong and happy lot. The proof of a pudding and the proof of EGG-O-SEE is in the eating. EGG-O-SEE besides being solid nourishment is most palatable. Every mouthful is a joy to the taste and direct benefit to your health. A 10-cent package of EGG-O-SEE contains ten liberal breakfasts. Our friends advertise us. They eat EGG-O-SEE for a while. They grow strong. They are well and happy and they pass the good word along. Next time you send to the grocer's tell your boy or girl to bring home a package of EGG-O-SEE. Have your children eat EGG-O-SEE. It is their friend. They'll eat EGG-O-SEE when nothing else will taste good. You try EGG-O-SEE and you can deduct the cost from your doctor's bills. We send our book, "Back to Nature," free. It's a good bookful of plain, good, common sense. If you want a copy, address EGG-O-SEE Company, 10 First St., Quincy, Ill.

CAST For Infants a Bears The Signature Of Chat H. THE GENTAUR COMPANY, 77 Shelter Tents. There is a probability of the Australian military authorities encouraging the manufacture or importation of shelter tents, as used in Japan during the late war. The tent consists of a waterproof sheet with hooks and eyelets, the weight being trifling. Each Japanese soldier carries one of these sheets in his kit, and any number of them can be laced together, the custom being for four men to form a bivouac. Arms are piled in the usual way, and the sheets are spread over the pile weapons, affording shelter from both heat and rain. They can be utilized in many ways for sheltering the soldiers.

I have taken several bottles of Peruna and one bottle of Manalin. "I can now do all of my work in the house, milk the cows, take care of the milk, and so forth. I think Peruna is a most wonderful medicine. "I believe I would be in bed to-day if I had not written to you for advice. I had taken all kinds of medicine, but none did see any good. "Peruna has made me a self and happy girl. I can never say too much for Peruna." Not only women of rank and leisure praise Perun, but the wholesome, useful women engaged in honest toil would not be without Dr. Hartman's world renowned remedy. The Doctor has prescribed it for many thousand women every year and he never fails to receive a multitude of letters like the above, thanking him for his advice, and especially for the wonderful benefits received from Peruna. James Wilson, the secretary of agriculture, was discussing an antiquated kind of farming. "It is about as profitable and logical," he said, "as the weather reading of a Connecticut farmhand I used to know. "This farmhand claimed that he could read the weather infallibly. On a walk with me one afternoon a frog croaked, and he said." "We will have clear weather for 24 hours. When a frog croaks in the afternoon you may be sure of 24 hours of sunshine." "We walked on, and in 20 minutes or so a heavy shower came up and we were both drenched to the skin. "You are a fine weather prophet," said I, as we hurried homeward through the downpour. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself." "O, well," said the farmhand, the frog lied. It's to blame, not me. Am I responsible for the morals of that particular frog?" The new regulation in the British army that "no relaxation of the eyesight test can ever be allowed" is regarded as marking the disappearance of the eyeglass among the officers. There's no argument equal to a happy smile. A minister of Elizabethtown t.Us how Grape-Nuts food brought him back to his pulpit: "Some 6 years ago I had an attack of what seemed to be La Grippie which left me in a complete state of collapse and I suffered for some time with nervous prostration. My appetite failed, I lost flesh till I was a mere skeleton, life was a burden to me, I lost interest in everything and almost in everybody save my precious wife. "Then on the recommendation of some friends I began to use Grape-Nuts food. At that time I was a miserable skeleton, without appetite and hardly able to walk across the room; had ugly dreams at night, no disposition to entertain or be entertained and began to shun society. "I finally gave up the regular ministry, indeed I could not collect my thoughts on any subject, and became almost a hermit. After I had been using the Grape-Nuts food for a short time I discovered that I was taking on new life and my appetite began to improve; I began to sleep better and my weight increased steadily; I had lost some 50 pounds, but under the new food regime I have regained almost my former weight and have greatly improved in every way. "I feel that I owe much to Grape-Nuts and can truly recommend the food to all who require a powerful rebuilding agent, delicious to taste and always welcome."

See also Rom. 12:13; 1 Tim. 3:2; 5:10; Tit. 1:8; Heb. 1:2; 1 Pet. 4:9. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 1. "One of the chief Parissees." A Pharisee who was eminent for his wealth or his learning. "To eat bread on the Sabbath day." Jews were very fond of visiting and feasting on that day. "They watched him." Some of the guests had come—so the original indicates—for the express purpose of closely watching Jesus' every word and deed. V. 2. "Behold." The exclamation hints that the presence of this man was a surprise to at least some of the company; but it is quite widely believed that the critics referred to in V. 1 had brought him in for the express purpose of testing Jesus. "Before him." Immediately in front of Jesus. The guests had not yet taken places at the table. "A certain man . . . dropsy." A man suffering from this disease, which is well known in our day and land, and at that date was considered incurable. V. 3. "Jesus answering." Jesus answered their unspoken question. "Lawyers." Scribes, who made special study of the law of Moses. "Pharisees." The most strict sect of Jews. "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?" One of the foolish and Goddishonoring notions which the Jews held concerning the Sabbath, was that it was unlawful for any to do the work required to help the sick, or for the sick man to take medicine, on that day. V. 4. "They held their peace." If they should answer "No," their own hearts and those of all present would cry out against them; if they answered "Yes," they would be contradicting the law of the rabbis; so they refused to give any answer. V. 5. "Which of you." Think of it as a personal matter and decide what you would do if something befell one very dear to you, or a valuable animal, on the Sabbath. "An ass or an ox." Some manuscripts give, instead of the word ass, the word son. "Fallen into a pit." Perhaps a well is meant, which, in Palestine, was often unprotected, and for an animal or child to fall in was no uncommon occurrence. V. 6. "They could not answer him." They would not confess that Jesus was right and the rabbis were wrong about Sabbath-keeping. V. 7. "He put forth a parable." This differs from other parable of Jesus; it simply points out how men commonly act under certain conditions, and shows how they would act if they followed the dictates of prudence, or, still more, the dictates of love. "Chose out the chief seats." At this date it was customary to arrange tables in threes, called a tricolinium. Couches for three persons to recline upon were placed at the outer side of each table and an open square left in the center. The middle place at each table was considered a place of honor, and the strife of orientals for-these chief seats can scarcely be appreciated by people of western nations. V. 8. "Bilden to a wedding." At a marriage feast the laws of etiquette would be most carefully observed. V. 9. "He that bade thee." The one in charge of the festivities, commonly called the governor or the ruler of the feast. "Give this man place." It occurs every day in social gatherings in the east that the master of the feast has to remove some guests from the high places which they have chosen and assign them to lower places. V. 10. "Go . . . lowest room." This does not mean that we are to ape humility in order to get praises and promotion. "Friend, go up higher." He who shows willingness to take a low place soon finds himself in a high place in the esteem of others. "Worship." Esteem. V. 11. "Whoseover exalteth himself . . abased." This is one of the fundamental laws of the Kingdom of Heaven. "He that humbleth . . shall be exalted." He who has true humility is in such an attitude of heart and mind that God can use him in lifting him to a higher plane and greater usefulness. V. 13. "Call the poor, malmed, lame, blind." Invite those who cannot make a similar feast for you. Practical Points. V. 3. Works of Christ-like love and helpfulness are peculiarly appropriate to the Sabbath day.—Ex. 20:8. V. 5. That man is far rrom God whose heart is not touched with compassion for suffering animals.—Prov. 12:10. V. 8. The truly worthy seek the place where they can be of greatest service to others.—Luke 22:26. V. 10. The truly humble are exalted by the indwelling Spirit of Almighty God.—Isa. 57:15. V. 14. Who blesses others is himself most richly blessed now and forever.—Acts 30:35. If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without gripping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company—California. Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed WHISPERED WISDOM.

Hair Finally Had to Be Cut to Save Any—Scalp Now in Good Condition—Cured by Cuticura. "I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for a diseased scalp, dandruff, and constantly falling of hair. Finally I had to cut my hair to save any at all. Just at that time I read about the Cuticura Remedies. Once every week I shampooed my hair with the Cuticura Soap, and I used the Ointment twice a week. In two months' time my hair was long enough to do up in French twist. That is now five years ago, and I have a lovely head of hair. The length is six inches below my waist line, my scalp is in very good condition, and no more dandruff or itching of the scalp. I used other remedies that were recommended to me as good, but with no results. Mrs. W. F. Griess, Clay Center, Neb, Oct. 23, 1905."

Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes.
