distribution of light

In the thinner light-weight male
rials which will be used this summer
for govns, nothing is nicer or better
than the voiles and etamines. The
skirts of these gowns are pretty when
cut in the double tunic or tnppie
skirt, having each section finished
with the border, and the bodices, when
made with yokes, or wide collars,
trimmed with the border. For
dressier gowns for the summer the
fiowered and figured Swisses will be
first choice. These gowns in the
plain goods art trimmed principally
with insertions-of lace, either in white
or ecru. The favorite laces this
season are cluny and antique.

A Baltimore Incident.
The following article from the
Augusta Herald has furnished occa
slon for a good deal of plagiarism by
newspapers in this Htato :
“A reporter learns that several
young ladies have started a crusade
against the osculatory germ, which
some of the dear creatures have con
founded with the kissing bug. The
crusade was started by a young lady
learning the following and telling it
to her friends:
‘Many Baltimore girls are sorry
they mailed letters to their sweet
hearts with moisture from their own
lips. Some have broken engage
ments to show for and others are
trembling for fear their finances will
call it off, or at least cease osculation.
And all because students at the Balti
more medical school decided to test
the gum seals on the envelopes from
their best girls for bacteria. Why
they chose to jeopardize their affec
tion for their sweethearts instead of
experimenting with any old envelopes
is not explained, hut it is an admitted
fact that tuberculosis and typhoid
germs were much in evidence. The
young men were nauch alarmed over
their discoveries, some so much so
they decided that discretion was the
better part of valor and parted troth.
Others have vowed they will cease
kissing. It is probable, however,
that the scare will soon blow over
and that Baltimore girls will not
have to produce certificates showing
their lips have been cleaned with an
antiseptic before the boys will again
willingly kiss them.” ’
REFLECTIONS.
A wife often permits her affection to
blind her reason.
Regard for petty things often will
dwarf a man’s ambition.
A woman’s love can become annoy
ing as well as burdensome.
Marriage based on honest affection
will withstand the ravages of time.

statesman, has a great record as an

A Startling Text.
To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt, of
No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a startling
test, resulting in a wonderful cure.
He writes, “a patient was attacked
with violent hemorrhages, caused by
ulceration of the stomach. I had of
ten found Electric Bitters excellent
for acute stomach and liver troubles,
so I prescribed them. The patient
gained from the first, and has not had
an attack in 14 months.” Electric I
Bitters are positively guaranteed for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Constipation j
and Kidnev troubles. Try them.

FliORiNOi, 8. C., Aug. 16, 1902.
Gentlemen:—! began to suffer from
rheumatism about three years ago. and
had it very bad in my limbs. At times
I could hardly walk. Was treated by
a physician without beneflt. More than
a year ago, Mr. George Wilson, anengi-
neer on the Coast Line, living in Flor
ence, told me that “ Rhiumacidi”
cured him. I got a bottle and it bone-
fitted me. I took five bottles and am
now as well as I ever was in my life.
I regard “Rheumacide” as a great
medicine. I know of others it has
cured.
