THE CHARM OF MOTHERHOOD Enhanced By Perfect Physical Health. The experience of Motherhood la a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for her- , self. Of courso nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at inch times, bat many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. In many homes once childless there //l/aM®\(l\ are now children be- Wt | yA cause of the fact 7/ IS wj 1 j that Lydia E.

Danger in Delay The great danger of kidney troubles is that they so often get a firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them. Health will be gradually undermined. Backache, headache, nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary, troubles, dropsy, gravel and Bright’s disease may follow as the kidneys get worse. .Don’t neglect your kidneys. Help the kidneys with Doan’s Kidney Pills. It is the best recommended special kidney remedy. An Illinois Case Mrs. P. Mueller, 1456 Illinois Ave., East St. otonctirt ifimswr Louis. 111., says: “When I worked hard I had sharp pains In my hack and I was nervous and restless.

FANCY-WORK FEATURE

LITTLE NOVELTIES OUT OF THE ORDINARY IN NEEDLE ART. Pincushions With Natural Flowers, Is Pleasing Ornament to Dressing Table—Charming Table Center for Home Working. A few flowers always make a very pleasant addition to the dressing table, and in this sketch we show a novel and useful article for holding them. It consists of an oblong cushion in the center of which is fitted a little glass dish. Any small glass dish will serve for this purpose, and the space in the center of the cushion must, of course, be made to correspond in size. The pincushion from which our sketch was drawn was of the shape shown in diagram A, on the right of the illustration, and it was covered with cream satin, edged with a fine Bilk cord and trimmed with lace. In each corner there was a little bunch of very narrow ribbon matching exactly the color of the cord. The left hand sketch clearly shows the way in which the cushion should be made, and

Novelty for the Dressing Table.

sketch B shows it complete, with the dish fitted in the center and filled with flowers. When not being used for flowers, the glass dish makes an excellent receptacle for hairpins and little odds and ends such as buttons, studs, etc. The same idea could be easily carried out in other shapes, and a circular cushion with a little bowl fitted into the center would look very pretty and be equally useful. A most uncommon and charming center is easily made at home like the one here sketched. A piece of silk, satin or fine muslin will be needed,

also some sprays of prepared maid-en-hair fern, such as can be bought at any fancy shop, some white or cream net and a little lace edging. Lay the satin ojr muslin down and arrange on it in the four comers, sprays of fern; arrange until quite satisfied that the effect is dainty and artistic, then lightly stitch the fern here

GROWING CRAZE FOR BUTTONS

New Specialty Devised for Increased Demand in Trimming Wash Dresses, Blouses and Waists. To comply with the increasing craze for buttons a welcome new specialty has been devised for the trimming of wabhing dresses, blouses, etc. For the present these new buttons are only made in white of a gimp texture recalling crochet work, which they supersede by the mere fact of having a mold round or oval, made of a cunning composition warranted to be rain and damp proof. The tiny ball shape appears to be the favorite. It is literally lavished on every accessory of dress, "Whether placed in separate sets or vertical rows, in circles or in clamps. As an example, a daisy fringe of these wee berries tremble along the edge of the wide brim of a child’s shady hat, while a boss of them fiUs the hearts of a few blossoms softly nestled amid tulle draperies round the low crown. No great effort of imagination is needed to employ these new buttons effectively and no specially deft fingers are required to arrange them in pretty ways. The makers of these white washable buttons will at least have no cause of complaining of the success of their invention. • Colored buttons are now clamored for. ■

Suffrage Veils.

The very newest in suffrage regalia fti the suffrage veil, which at a little distance looks like any other modish ▼ell of floating, filmy character with a border along the lower edge. Look closely at this border, however, and jo* will discern that the pattern

BOX JACKETS QUITE PLAIN

Model Shows Simple but Not Severe Effect, and Expresses Decided Youthfulness and Grace. The summer’s styles are specially suited to developments in white

depicted in the sketch, and carried out in white serge or gabardine. The box jacket model, which has a great deal of style as well as individuality, while affecting the simplest lines, and certain military embellishments, is not, as might be supposed, in any way severe, but expresses rather decided youthfulnesa and grace. The top is made so that it may be fastened closely about the base of the neck or turned back from the throat by leaving a few buttons undone. The buttons are run from the top to the bust line, and fasten through a set-on strap rounded at its end. The upstanding collar is slightly gathered into the neck, and is cut very high across the back and sides with a point under each ear. The edge of the Jacket runs a trifle longer in back than in front, and shows a straight band-facing some eight inches deep, encircling its width. Button-trimmed straps are set on at either side of the front and the back, with their ends looked under the lower edge, forming a most attractive trimming. Long sleeves show a deep facing.

and there to the satin. Now take the net, which is light and open, and cover over the satin; sew this round the edges to the satin underneath. The net keeps the fern in position and protects the tiny leaves. Round the edges of the center sew a pretty little lace or, if liked, a ruche of ribbon can be used, or a binding might be made of cream braid. The binding or lace will hide the joining of the satin and net, and give a little finish. These centers look sweet on th tea table and, of course, any kind of flowers harmonize beautifully with them. Great care must be taken when putting the centers away; they must not be folded or rolled, or the fern would break; keep the centers always flat anif they will keep beautifully.

WEDDING DRESS IN TAFFETA

Full Skirt Finds Its Chance Here and Ripples Out Into Double or Triple Bouffancy. At smart weddings the number of Vaffeta dresses worn is noticeable. Here the full skirt finds its chance, and ripples out sometimes in a single skirt, sometimes in a double or even a triple skirt. One very smart model of crisp black taffeta has a double skirt, with the edges trimmed with deep bands of fine tucks. This tucked band holds the double skirt out In a most bouffant manner, and may or may not be edged with a tiny knife plaiting of taffeta. This skirt has been worn most attractively with a bodice, which, though more fitted than those of other seasons, follows the natpFßl line *of the figure rather than the pinched-in waist. It drops a bit below the waist in front

traces very distinctly the slogan, “Votes for women,” in black letters on a white mesh. Loyal suffragists will perhaps have courage to adopt this emblematic veil with their summer costumes, but the average woman will be content with an ordinary smart veil of the new fiiadora or trellis mesh with a border in conventional pattern. While veils are promised great popularity this summer and the sampan is a favorite because of its easy adjustment over a Panama or sailor hat. The big, square or round veil has an opening at the center, edged with an elastic under a narrow casing, and the veil may be slipped over the hat crown without aid of mirror or pins.

OLD HATS NOW MADE NEW

Sunburned Straw Transformed by Oil Color and Benzine to Fresh and Pleasing Appearance. In the August Woman’s. Home companion a New York woman tells ai follows how to make an old hat intc a new one: "I want to tell you how to transform your old hats into new and charming ones with only a tube oil color and a bottle of benzine, Into a cup ol benzine (do not use near a fire) pal a little ’color, mix well and strair through cloth wet with the benzine Apply this thin dye with a broad, fla bristle brush to a sunburned Milan oi faded dark straw, and, lo! it is fresh and new, and the color will not fade is the sun nor run In ashower. Faded flowers can be dipped into this saaM dye and be renewed.”

serge, and since a white suit is almost a necessity for many occasions, the difficulty of finding an appropriate model is greatly simplified with such a variety of designs to choose from. Box jackets with plaited or circular skirts are very smart just now when kept quite plain and tailored. A splendid example of this style is

UMBRELLA TO COVER ACRE

Amusement Provider Asserts He Has Scheme Nothing Short of Stupendous. Tody Hamilton —the only man who ever lost an elephant in Manhattan and would not be comforted —says— and if Tody Hamilton (who once lost two lions and a tiger near Forty-sec-ond street and Broadway) says a thing is true, then it’s true whether it’s true or not —Tody Hamilton says that Luna park is about to raise an umbrella which no living man can borrow. let alone steal. The umbrella will cover an acre of Luna park ground, so it was said by Tody Hamilton—who for years saw to it that a baby giraffe was born annually in Madison Square garden on the night Barnum & Bailey came to town. First of all, a steel umbrella handle will be constructed in Luna and the handle will be 140 feet high, so it was said by Tody Hamilton —who was the first man to reveal the news that Slivers, the clown, was the first man to strike gold in Alaska. The umbrella will be steel-ribbed, covered with circus-tent canvas, and will be raised and lowered by machinery, according to a statement issued by Tody Hamilton —who once crossed hoop snakes with puff adders while with the Barnum show and raised thereby a crop of living automobile tires. Five thousand persons will be able to enjoy the cool shade under the umbrella. A searchlight with rays shooting for ten miles, an intermittent flash beacon, thousands of electric bulbs and things and stuff to taste will decorate the steel and canvas umbrella at night, the completed umbrella to cost $25,000, according to Tody Hamilton —who added that he had just turned down an offer mad© by Colonel Roosevelt to stock the Luna lagoon with a correspondence school of man-eating fish. — New York Sun.

Sleep.

For do but consider what an excellent thing sleep is! It is so inestimable a jewel that, if a tyrant would give his crown for an hour’s slumber, it cannot be bought; of so beautiful a shape is it that, though a man live with an empress, his heart cannot be at quiet till he leaves her embracements to be at rest with the other; yea, so greatly are we Indebted to this kinsman of death, that we owe the better tributary half of our life to him; and there is good cause why we should do so; for sleep is that golden chain that ties health and our bodies together. Who complains of want, of w'ounds, of cares, of great men’s oppressions, of captivity, whilst he sleepeth?—Thomas Dekker.

Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children bom in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven percent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen 1 . . _ _ . ~ We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or lees opium or morphine. They are, in considerable deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.

MUSSEL MUD AS FERTILIZER

Organic Remains of Shellfish Secure Fertility to Poorest and Most Exhausted Soil. Consul Frank Deedmeyer writes from Charlottetown, P. E. 1., Canada: In most of the bays indenting the shores of Prince Edward island are found extensive deposits of mussel shells, so called locally, being organic remains of countless generations of oysters, mussels, clams, and other bivalves of the ocean, and of crustaceous animals generally. The shells, usually more or less intact, are found imbedded in dense deposits of mudlike substance and this combination is a fertilizer of high value and potency. It supplies small quantities of phosphates and alkalies. An ordinary dressing of It secures fertility in a striking manner to the poorest or most exhausted soil. The shells decay slowly, year by year, throwing off a film of fertilizing stuffs. The deposits around Prince Edward island vary from five to twenty-five feet in depth. They are taken up by dredging machines worked from rafts in summer or from the ice in winter.

A Natural Question.

GETS 2-CENT MONEY ORDER

Balance Is Paid Through Express Company by Kansas * Woman. The smallest money order ever made out by the agent for the local express company was given to a woman to pay on an account owed to a mail-order house, according to a Blackwell story, printed In the Ardmoreite. The wonn an bad received a letter from the mailorder house notifying her that she owed the firm two cents. Indignant! and unable to realize the spirit thati would prompt anyone to mail a bill* for two cents, the woman decided thati a post office stamp would not suffice and that only a money order would do. The fee for the order was three cents and the postage stamp necessary te carry it cost two cents more, so that with the two-cent postage stamp that carried the bill to the woman seven cents was expended in collecting a two-cent debt. —Kansas City Journal.
