Government Issues Warning Against Fly Poisons Following is an extract from “The Transmission of Disease by Flies,” Supplement No. 29 to the Public Health Reports, April, 1916. “ Of other fly poisons mentioned, mention should be made, merely for a purpose of condemnation, of those composed of arsenic. Fatal cases of poisoning of children through the use of such compounds are far too frequent, and owing to the resemblance of arsenical poisoning to summer diarrhea and cholera Infantum, it is believed that the cases reported do not, by an.v means, comprise the total. Arsenical fly-de-strdying devices must be rated as extremely dangerous, and should never be used, even if other measures are not at hand.” 106 fly poisoning oases have been reported by the press within the last three years. As stated above this number is but a fraction of the real number. Protect your children by using the safe, efficient, non-poisouous fly catcher Tanglefoot 1 The 0. & W.

An Illustrious Precedent.

At the beginning of the war the French soldiers invariably wore mustaches. It evidently pleased the old commandant, for he remarked on several occasions about the appearance of his men. One -day a soldier appeared before the astonished commandant with no mustache. He had shaved It. The .officer was exasperated. ”He called the man before him and demanded to know where his mustache was. He was met with-the reply that The soUdler had become tired of the mustache and had shaved it. “It’s an outrage,” stormed the commandant. “Did you ever hear of a good French soldier without a mustache?” “Yes, sir,” replied the man in the ranks. - “Who?” demanded the commandant. “Napoleon," came the reply. And the commandant wilted.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT, DOESN’T HURT A BIT! No foolishness! Lift your corns and calluses off with fingers— It’s like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be lifted right out with the fingers if you apply upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority. For little cost one can get a small bottle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid one’s feet of every corn or callus without pain. This simple drug dries the moment It is applied and does not even Irritate the surrounding skin while ap plying it or afterwards. This announcement will interest many of our readers. If your druggist hasn’t any freezone tell him to surely get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house.—adv.

GINGHAM REVIVED AFTER MANY YEARS

Striped Cottons Adopted by Women Who Set Fashions in America. BOON TO HOME DRESSMAKER With Inexpensive Materials Made Available Any Woman Can Have Varied Wardrobe for Summer Months. New York.—lt has been decades since gingham warworn. There were times when every woman abused the material by trimming it with satin and lace, and turning it into a frock of ceremony. It was considered appropriate for the afternoon hours. It ranked with satin, voile, hanjierchief linen. Today gingham has been revived by the smart women who launch the spring styles at Palm Beach. Young women found in it an agreeable change from o®e übiquitous jersey cloth and serge. Someone in Paris had brought striped muslins into high fashion, and those in this country who remembered, the gayety of ginghams in the old days, and realized that here, in this country, were to be found all sorts of alluring cottons, took It into their clever heads to reinstate them. It was akin to remembering the value and taste of rice at a time when I potatoes and onions had become ex- ' pensive. There was little sense in I following the well-trodden path merely for want of Incentive and lack of Initiative to find other and just as good paths. It was with materials to wear as with- materials to eat. GJng.ham and rice were as good to see and to eat as potatoes and jersey. So both have been reinstated in the public favor. If France had chosen to make the striped cottons fashionable, we would have jumped at them with enthusiasm, but the slower method of being introduced through home preference has at last found a measure of success.

Palm Beach really set the seal of approval on the so-called humble fabric and It is probable that we shall see much of It as the season advances. Why not? In every way gingham carries out the modern demand in clothes. Its coloring is happily chosen, its stripes and checks, its plaid designs are accepted in all other fabrics. The lessening of the output of novelty fabrics, tl.e ability of the mills to turn out admirable cotton weaves, the mark that fa si) ion has put upon simple materials as evidences of good taste in a time of national stress, the comfort of cotton in hot weather, are fashion facts that build a strong foundation for gingham. The Incoming of Cottons. On "this" foundation also rests the claim that other fabrics of the common garden variety are making for service this summer. The Southern mills have

produced quantities of. Inexpensive materials in alluring colors, materials that are woven to stand the heat and sun and which have served the Southern women for generations. These have their showing in thetowns of other districts, but they are not as commonly accepted or as well-known as they should be. These fabrics are not always treated In an inexpensive way by those who buy their clothes at expensive places. It is a mistake to suppose that the price of a gown Is lowered by the price of the fabric used, If one has it made by a high-class dressmaker. One must pay the same for the cutting and fitting of a gingham as of a satin or chiffon. Striped muslins sell for the same price In the great shops and dressmaking houses as Alik net, French Jersey cloth and silk. As the dressmakers explain it, the salary paid to the* various “artists” who give their time to the ' making of a garment necessitates asking a big price for it, despite the orig-

inn! outlay for the building ingredients. ' ’ T When each of the principal workers in a high-class place gets $5,000 a year it is not possible to sell Mine X a gingham gown at a price which Is commensurate with the price per yard of the cloth. Choose whatever fabric you will, is the comment of the head of the establishment, the price remains about the same. There is reason and order in this. It is in selling cotton frocks at the price of satin ones that many dressmakers are able to even up

the losses on frightfully expensive French models from which almost noth* ing has been realized. Season of Home Dressmaking. But, after all, only the minority buy their clothes jgt the palaces of industry. Thousands of ready-to-wear departments? throughout the country cater to the desires of the majority easily and sufficiently well to stand the test of good fashion, and the test of time, be it added, when fashions change as rapidly~as they do in this epoch. Also, the -summer is the season of quantities of home dressmaking. Favoring winds, long days oflight, less street activities, contribute to the desire of the large majority of women to accomplish much sewing, to Add a dozen garments to the few their dress allowance permits them to buy in the shops. A woman can do with few clothes in cold weather. We all have a touch of the Eskimo in our ability to continue in the. same garments while the ground freezes and so do we. But warm weather brings a riotous desire to have clothes heaped upon the closet shelves, separate garments, blouses, frocks, skirts, at any price, so they be fresh, clean and plentiful. In a season of satin, chiffon and jersey it was not possible for any but the rich to be freshly and variously arrayed from May until October, but with the incoming of cottons, striped, plaid, plain, of white muslin trimmed with colored cotton, of white cotton net trimmed with ribbon, of cotton voile touched with embroidery, there is hope for everyone. No wonder the sewing machines are being oiled and cleaned and patterns are being sought and the shops searched for good-looking ginghatfls and Turkey red and candy-striped muslins and black and white handkerlawns and bandanna handkerchiefs bought to prepare for a veritable orgy of sewing. Copying French Designs. The best way to go at the making of all these inexpensive frocks is to copy, as far as taste and opportunity allow, the gowns of high degree. There are marked differences her Iween gowns for the formal and the informal hours, and the knowledge and application of these differences actually mark the line between a woman who is well dressed and one whb is not. Consistency is a jewel In dressing as well as in character, despite the fact that most people believe with Mr. Emerson that consistency is the vice of small minds. There are several inter pretations, however, of the word, and as it is used tP express a certain highly developed and trained sense of the suitability and relation of clothes and the womam it has no. qualities of vict in it, no, not even the minor and pleasant qualities of it. TO trim gingham with lace arid ribbon, to fashion it as though dealing with satin, is to be inconsistent. J To wear gingham to an afternoon tea or dance, is to be inconsistent. But to build a gingham frock after the manner of a satin or French jersey fro* k is acceptable. The silhouette remains the same whether for afternoon, evening or morning; whether on the tennis court, the country club porch, the ballroom or the breakfast table of one’s own home.
