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out of date.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. %

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.

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,

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.

ONE'S IDEA OF REST.
Hunt Your Individual Thought and
Practice It.
Rest, and when you rest?rest. 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.

By sweetening the blancmange when

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.

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.

both government and private comparative
tests. We stand ready to demonstrate to
you at any time that the surest way to "in

Hon. R. J. Redding, former Director of the Geor
gia Exp. Station, is authority for the statement that
"experiments made at this station show that well
balanced commercial fertilizer applied to one acre
of land, and well cultivated, may be reasonably ex
pected to produce an increase of yield of seed
cotton. At the present price of cotton this would
mean a large extra profit (for both lint and seed),
after deducting the price for fertilizer."

tests, together with much valuable information con
