delightful Surprises to Be Found In Midsummer Millinery. iCHIC HATS OF ROUGH STRAW. Tulle a Successful Trimming, of the Season?Conspicuous Among Late Models Are Draped and Frilled Bon nets of Net and Lace. ' The midsummer hats are altogether Ibewitchiug, things quite apart from the - hats to which we grew ac customed during tlie springtime. Not that spring shapes aud trimmings are out of date. Far from it. But the usual weighing and balancing of ex perimental modes have tukeu place, and certain models have been found good and retained. Others have been found ?wanting and relegated to the undis criminatlug buyers. % -? LJguter and more summery trim-. Illings have given a new" aspect to 1 borne of the familiar shapes, and; THE SHEPHERDESS HAT. moreover, a host of new ideas or of new variations upon old ideas have b;.vir seut across seas to us within the ,' past mouth. Hats of rough white straw faced .with green aud trimmed entirely in ' quantities of sprayiug mignonette are cool and pretty midsummer models, as are others with brims of white. 6traw and trimmiugs of white jas nitue and green ribbon or velvet. T*he feathery seed balls of dande - 'lions have been wonderfully repro ? duced by the makers of artificial flow ? ers, and beautiful all white hats are ? effectively trimmed iu these and in clouds of white tulle, the whole in describably fragile and charming. Tulle Is. though^perisbable, one of! ?the most successful trimmings for the. midsummer hat, aud a cloud of tulle j with one or two big roses nestling ? among the folds is always a charming | decoration. White straw faced with color and trimmed in white tulle and' roses echoing the color of the facing j makes a smart hat, and artist milliners attain* lovely results by using tulle in, delicate shades of several colors on I one hat A lovely leghorn from Car- j Her is swathed in a clouft of tulle? faint pink aud yellow and blue and; WHITS FELT WALKING/ HAT. lavender?which looks almost irides cent and has at the left side a cluster of wonderful iris blooms. The most couspicuous of the late models because the most attractive are the .draped aud frilled bonnets of fact, tulle or lace, recalling vaguely the iinuch abused bebe bat of other years and built up on much the same lines ,as the Charlotte Cordny. The new shapes are very high of crown and usually very large of crown too. The brims vary it; width, but in till eases droop sharply, and since the bonnets sit low ui?on the head, as do ell the hats of the season, the plaited frills of the3e brims fall softly around the face aud over the low chignon iu the back. The hats seen in the illus trations are advanced models that will lie found in the early fall millinery dis play. AMY VAHNUM. A Safe Rule. 1 A world famous surgeou has given these rules for getting the most out of life: Plenty of fresh air, healthful thoughts, moderation in diet and iu ?all indulgences aud work to make us 'forget ourselves and our ailments. That is a safe rule for living, one. too, that is far removed from the fad dism that some people think necessary to preserve health. If more of us would adopt It there would be more tmppiness. fewer breakdowns and a saner grasp on life. While Kennedy's Laxative Couch Syrup is especially recommended for children, it is, of course, just as gtiod for adults. Children like to Like it because it tastes nearly as good as maple sugar.

Dive down into your brain and turn nil the corners inside out and tind what your own personal idea of relaxation is and then follow lt.^ Be uot one of those unfortunates who think that rest consists of sitting still, whether you want to or uo. and who do not realize that out of a hundred people sixty-eight diHereut conceptions, of repose will be found. Have you ever beard of the stage driver and his vacation? Well, he had driveu a stage in tue Cumberland mountains for something like twenty years and oue day took the notion that he needed a rest. What do you suppose he did? Went to town and had a riproariug good time, you say. Well, he did not. lo use his own quaint words, "I Jest come every day and set beside the other fellow on the box und watched him do my work." , For curiosity a census of the rest question was taken. Here are a few of the results. Oue is "starch." A girl said she always felt perfectly rested aud happy when she was dressed in an immaculate waist, stifiiy starched petticoats and irreproachable shoes. In direct contrast to this Is the whim of another girl that only in old clothes could she rest, "for then," she said, "1 can eat sticky candy and juicy oranges wiih no ill effects." . From a man came this idea: "I like to stand on the edge of a crowd where 1 do not know any oue and watch the people." From another came a similar one?to sit ou the banks of a uoisy stream.' Sleep was, of course, more thought of than anything else. -^Abso lute darkness came in for its share of adherence?perfect harmony, whether in the beating of a drum, the rhythmic motion of a train"- or simply music. Undisturbed dreaming came as a sur prise from an exceedingly practical girl, and to sit in a cemetery was the idea of a particularly cheerful miss. One girl hesitated quite awhile and ^hen with a laugh said, "Do you know, I think if I could run in the grass barefooted I should be perfectly con tented." To sleep on a freshly fdled straw tick was another choice, and a Pitts burger said, "I always thought I could get splendidly rested if 1 could just sleep on a Mount Washington car while ^t was going through the tun uel." These are but a few, but you can hunt your own individual thought out of its owu particular cranny and prac tice it. It will do you a world of good. When Cooking Potatoes. To make potatoes as nourishing as possible we should, after thoroughly brushing and cleaning the outside, steam them in their jackets. Then when cooked remove the skins, return them to the steamer for a few min utes to be heated and eat them with some form of fat. Baking potatoes is an excellent way of preserving all the nutritious quali ties of the tuber. Wash - aud scrub quite clean,1 then lay them on the shelf of a fairly hot oveu. They should be turned over once or twice during the process of cooking. Time, from one and a half hours to two hours. Pinch them, and if soft and yield ing they are sufficiently cooked. A small piece may be cut out of the eud of each potato and a little butter, salt, pepper and onion juice inserted and then the piece replaced. A sprig of. mint in the water is. when boiling po tatoes, a great improvement. Training a New Maid. It is a good plan in the average sized house for the mistress herself to show the new maid the ways of the bouse? if she is the parlor maid, to take her to the dining room aud herself lay the table for the first meal, explaining ex actly where she likes the various things placed. If the maid is Inexpe rienced, show her exactly how the dishes should be handled aud all other details which will help her in carrying out her various duties. She will be more likely to remember her Instruc tions if she receives them direct from her mistress than if a fellow servant told her.?Home Chut. Do They Bring You Luck? A fad from Paris which has been taken up here by women who like to play with superstitious is the buckles of topaz. This stone is supposed to bring luck to the wearer, aud the clear yellow jewel has quite superseded the four leaf clover, horseshoe and the rabbit's foot as a buffer between you and trou ble. Most of the buckles showu are love ly enough to make any girl who owns one lucky. A Seasonable Dessert.

THE CRETONNE FAD. Collar, Hat Trimmings, Coats and Parasols In This Fabric. A cretonne flower and leaf intro duced like a rare bit of embroidery into the collar of a silk coat aud snap pily edged with black is distinctive and charming. So is a gay lit tie waistcoat, striped and flowered and sprinkled with .buttons, to be worn under a dashing cutaway coat When it comes, however, to finge "Merry Widow" sailor hats, with stiff brims aud crowns covered flatly with woven j roses that are ruthlessly lopped away to suit the exigencies of hat sbapiug I and tortured with rows of stitching : In surgical suggestion through deli cate petals, the effect I? not so happy, j Neither is the cretonne parasol, which J ?come upon nne::peetedly from the rear?looks a bit like an animated rose trellis In generous bloom Iu neckwear cretonne is shown in the Oat "angel child" collar, which has come to stay, at least while warm weather makes it so eminently the ^comfortable thing' To match the flowers hi tue*? turned down cretonne collars there are gay little bows of ] rose pink or other (lower colors. Applique of cretonne may be used With charming effect in combination j with embroidery stitches on vests, col- ? lars. cuffs and oilier trimmings. One I progressive young woman has fash- I loned a rose pink linen frock with a garland border of cretonne roses?in much the effect of the rose garland borders on smart wall paper. The garlands, .cut out from the cretonne, are re-enforced with a light facing underneath to keep the cretonne from curling and are nppliqued to over skirt or tunic eilge and to fhe edges of the jumper sleeve. Another clever maid has clipped long festoons of violets from a dainty bedroom .cretonne and has applied them to a white net evening frock, the color tone being carried out by tiny violet velvet ribbons threaded through the net. THE NEW TOWELS. Scalloped Ends More Fashionable Than a Fringed Finish. The woman who Is deft with her needle.may Indulge in pretty towels, whether her purse is long or not, for there is no end of hand work used to beautify towels in these days. One of the prettiest methods and at the same time one of the most practical is scal loping. The plain huckaback is got. and the etids done in the simplest form of scallop, heavily padded. With a quar ter to mark the scallops and a line drawn across the end to keep them even, the marking may be done at home, instead of the fringe so pop ular a few years ago, many of the handsomest towels are finished with a hemstitched hem or with embroid ery or with Irish lace, although the latter is very expensive. The very large towels are out of fashion, the favorite size being about twenty-five inches wide by forty long. Hand towels come in several sizes, the small est of which is fourteen inches wide and twenty-four long. Drawn work as a trimming for towels offers nu merous possibilities to the woman who can do it well, and so does embroid ery work. Both Irish and German em broidery are popular. All embroidery Is of the variety known as blind, and the designs are not too elaborate? Chicken a la Marengo. As the main course, at a luncheon nothing could be more delectable than this way of preparing chicken, which is said to have been first made for the great Napoleon after the battle of Ma rengo. His chef bad to depend on the ma terials which the country afforded, and it would seem that he could have done no better had the markets of Europe been at his command. Singe and clean a live pound chicken, wipe it Inside and out with a clean towel aud cut it up as for fricassee, in a saucepan melt a very full table spoonful of butter and atkl three table spoonfuls of the best olive oil. When it is bot add the dark meat of the chicken and cook for- live minutes. Then add the white meat, with salt and pepper and a little garlic, if de sired. Mix and stir over a good lire and cook for twenty minutes until each piece of the chicken, is a light golden brown. Have ready a tomato sauce tuadc from a can of tomatoes, a little onion, carrot, parsley and celery, which have been cooked until thick, then rubbed through a sieve and a tablespoonful of butter added. To the chicken add a half pound of fresh mushrooms, peeled aud stemmed, and cook for five minutes. Arrange the chicken on a platter, add to the gravy In the pan three table spooufuls of the tomato puree, stir un til it Is hot. but do not nllow it to boll, pour over the chicken and serve. Cooking Cabbage. Do you know that cabbage may be boiled without emitting that objection able odor which so often causes us to drop that vegetable from our menu? The method is a very simple one and well worth trying. Into the uridst of the cabbage place a good sized onion which has been peeled: then on top place slices of stale bread cut thick. Do not add too much water to the cabbage at one tiuie. or it will soak the bread and cause it to separate and mix with the cabbage, but, rather, add water from time to time in course of the boiling process. Upon the back of the stove, where it will just simmer, set a small vessel containing ?vinegar and sugar. The bread and oniou absorb the odor, and the vinegar and sugar are a pre caution to make assurance doubly sure. "Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil is the best remedy for that often fatal dis ease?croup.

EIG BOOST FOR GOOD ROADS Plan to Held a Monster Meeting In St. Paul In December. Unless something unforeseen occurs St. Paul will probably entertain some time next December the biggest good roads meeting ever held in Minnesota or the surrounding states. George W. Cooley. state highway engineer, is planning on such u meeting, aud If the necessary arrangement cau De made, as now seems probable. It will be held. The-idea of holding a monster good roads meeting was conceived by Mr. Cooley'after the meeting recently held i:i St. Paul. In which the county com missioners as well as others interested in good roads were invited. This met. ? iug showed the widespread interest taken in the. mutter throughout the state. He expected between UK) aud 201) to attend, but the attendance grew to about 500. says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The same feeling has been showu in the meetings which he has addressed iu the smaller towns throughout the state, the farmers com ing iu to attend the meetings ju.large uutubers and showing au active inter est in the good ro*id problem. "If the meeting is held it will cover the held thoroughly." said Mr. Cooley. "It will be an exposition of roadmak ing machinery and materials, with practical talks by men of wide experi ence in the various details of the work in a large meetlug of this kind much belter results can be obtained than by the smaller local meetings because In such a meeting as we expect to hold the manufacturers will have exhibits of all kinds of machinery used In road making, and we can have speakers of wide experience at such a meeting which is impossible for all of the smaller meetings. A question box would be a feature, and through this means any oue confronted by special problems in roadmakiug would be able to get the advice of the men quali fied to give it "I have not yet decided definitely on the plan, but there is a general de mand for such a meeting, and if It can possibly be done the plans will be carried out." Mr. Cooley's plan is to eliiniuate the "hot air" talks about good roads gen erally and to make it an instructive meeting by having men go to St. Paul who know about the practical details of road making. Those who will go will do so for the purpose of learning something about the building of good roads, and it is the intention to meet tili? expectation fully. The meeting will probably last one week. The ex hibits will cover stone crushers, road rollers, steej and concrete bridge work, culverts aud all sorts of machinery and material used in road building. IMPORT OF GOOD ROADS. v _ Points In Legitimate Support of Build ing and Maintaining Them. Good roads are a benefit to the farm ers because they render transportation of farm products easier: they facilitate travel and shorten the time to and from town or city markets: they arc humane in that they lighten the draft for horses: they make driving ou pleas ure or business trips more enjoyable: they foster a neighborly spirit through communication: they, are an aid to the federal government iu establishing free rural delivery mall routes: they are business promoters and a credit to AN Ald.UUEXT PUR OUOD ROADS. any community, state or nation and. finally, are an index to the intelligence, prosperity and activity of the people. All these points are * in legitimate support of the construction and main tenance of good roads, says the South ern Cultivator. Many other reasons might be cited In their favor. It does seem anomalous that, 'amid all our boasted national progress, thi3 great necessity of modern civilization should be kept so far In the background. The nation needs better and more substantial highways, and it Is hope ful to see indications that this subject will soon receive more attention from our national and state lawmakers than heretofore. The importance of good rural righways is being nv?re thor oughly recognized by business men aud legislators than ever before, and the farmers need no argument to convince them that better roads will improve their business materially. A Road Club. The farmers of Pleasant View dis trict, ten miles south of Eureka, Green wood county, Kan., have organized a good roads club with S. P. Rocky pres ident and M. 0. Hanson secretary The club has eighteen charter mem bers. In the district are eleven miles of road, and it is the object of the club to have each mile properly graded and worked regularly with the road drag. The club will hold regular meet ings to discuss necessary improvements and methods for work.

Whole Body Raw with Eczema Life was Intolerable?Was Even Incased in Plaster?Discharged from Hospitals as Hopeless. SUFFERED 14 YEARS CURED BY CUTICURA "From the age of throe months until fifteen years old, my son Owen's life was made intoler able by eczema in its worst form. He was all right until a red rash broke out on his fore head, but we were not alarmed at first. Very 60on, however, the rash began to spread over his head and shoulders, and it caused him great discomfort. I took him to a doctor and tried half a dozen other treatments, all with the same result: no improvement at all. The disease gradually spread until nearly every part of his body was quite raw. We had to strap him down in bed, for he used to tear himself dreadfully in his sleep. The agony he went through is quite beyond words. No one thought we would rear him. The regimental doctor, a very clever man, pronounced the case hopeless; at least, he said the only hope was that he might, if he lived long enough, outgrow it to some extent. We had him in hospitals four times and he was pronounced one of the worst cases, if not the worst, ever admitted. From each he was dis charged as incurable; in fact he got worse under the successive treatments. At one hospital they incased hirn in plaster, and this seemed to aggravate the soreness terribly. He looked so badly that no one liked to go near him and his life was a burden to him. We kept trying remedy after remedy, but we had got almost past hoping for a cure. Six months ago we purchased a set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent Pills and persevered with them. The result was truiy marvelous and to-day he is perfectly cured, his skin not having a blerrnsh on it anywhere.
