How few persons realize how many
lives are lost daily from want OF nutri.
tiOn such as diseased organs need to re.
store them to healthy condition. This
we confirm by the fact that only 1.2
per cent. OF all deaths come from old
age (see Massachusetts, RepOrts), and the
large per cent. remaining comes chiefly
from lack OF nutrition.
In Massachusetts, the average number
OF deaths from
Consumption and Pneumonia, One for
every IS minutes.
Heart TrOaOles, Nine daily.
ChlOrea Infantum, Six daily.
Diphtheria. Five daily.
ApOpleXy, Bronchitis. Cancer, each Four
daily.
Kidney Troubles, Paralysis. each -Four
daily.
Do YOU wonder at the inter-
est the health officers Of this
city are taking in the result
Of Or. Koch's "consumptive
cure"? and that is va,uble
only to arrest the disease in
It's first stages, so DR.. Koch
tells us.
We are disposed to give the COnsump-
tives the benefit Of our twenty two
years. experience, not to experiment on
them for money, or ask them to wait to
see the results OF our experiment on
others, as life Is seldom lost that is
properly nourished.
Murdock's Liquid Food has restored
more COnsumpiives to health than any
other treatment in the same length Of
time, as it makes new blood faster than
all medicines or other foods known, and
new blood will restore the diseased or
gans to health, be they the lungs, It's
sues or any organs

panel Of finely cut jet, that glitters and
tinkles and takes deal of sewing to
keep it in order, and is quite heavy. At
the sides are grenadine folds edged
with soft embroidered gauze frills. The
bodice has a square yoke of jet and
basque of gauze with embroidered frills
coming to point in front, and with
full sleeves caught above and below the
elbow with frills.
A brocaded evening gown from the
same trousseau-it is, as you may have
guessed, Miss Thompson's-has a deli
cate sky blue ground with rose petals
blowing this way and that over it, each
petal showing q shadow below. 1t is
made with a rnarquise coat deliberately
trimmed with gold and with a full white
lace frill down the front, a pale blue
satin ribbon defining the waist line.
Another evening dress brocaded in a
feather pattern is very beautiful, the
ostrich plumes showing in flesh color
and blue on a ground of pinlly fawn.
Garlands of roses and forget-me-nots
are mixed with the feathers, and the
costume is made with deep fiounce Of
lace edged with delicate gold passe-
menterie, little gold bows looping it at
intervals. The bodice has a full front
with lace frills, small paniers and little
gold bows at the throat and on the
sleeves.
An afternoon frocz for the country is
of pink foulard with black spots and is
very smart and becoming. 1t has an
underskirt Of plain pink silk and the
bodice is of the plain stu& also, with
full sleeves of the spotted material.
These are trimmed with black net,
through which is run pink ribbon. Over
this undergown is worn a full gathered
sleeveless bodice and skirt all in one, of
the fancy foulard, the top of the bodice
ending at yoke covered with black
net and pink ribbon. A wide black
satin sash completes the costume.
Green is less in vogue than in the past
but there are new shades of emerald of
which much is seen. Yellow and
black lace blend in froclxs that are
trimmed with deep fringe. Gray WOOL
ems make their appearance everywhere
with scattered flowers in dull yellow
brocade. Black and pink are in favor
| and pink flowers are seen constantly,
thrown on black grounds. Brown and
topaz yellow is combination that has
it's admirers, and for women who have
the courage there is sanction for orange
| and turquoise.

them up for seaside wear, whether or
not they expect to go on shipboard.
One in cream color and fawn was per-
haps an odd choice for yachting colors.
The surah blouse, as shown in the illus
tration, went with three-quarter
blazer, and about the skirt and the flaps
and revers ran rows of glittering bull
lion braid. Another blouse and blazer,
also illustrated, were in cream color
and deep dull red. The blazer was
red three-quarter jacket with wide roll
ing revers and flap pockets on the hips.
It was cut to fit snugly in the back and
to be left open in front. The blouse of
cream-colored flannel had sailor col
lar to be worn outside the blazer.
Quite as novel as either of these was
seaside dress included in the trousseau
of Miss Thompson, who is in few days
to marry Harry LIE Grand Cannon. Miss
Thompson's froclz had a sleeveless jack
ct of white yachting cloth over dark
blue silk blouse with pulled sleeves, the
facings Of the jacket being of the blouse
material. The whole effect Of the cos
tune was that of a white jacket with
fancy sleeves.
Millinery is interesting and. If 1t
weren't for the disrespect involved, one
might say amusing. It doesn't seem to

ing and sufficiently new. stood this
morning looking into the showcase of a
Fifth avenue milliner. There was a
hat there that fascinated me. studied
it so thoroughly that could deliver an
illustrative lecture on its peculiarities.
It was made by taking long snake of
| heavy gold bullion and accommodating
it gently to the contour of the head, let
ting the forked tongue with its accom-
paniments rise up in front and the tail
rise up behind. To lend a little color
to the delusion that snake really con-
| stitutes a sufficiently substantial head
| covering, handful of shadowy brown
gauze was thrown over the snake, max
ing a puffy transparent crown. The
snake and the gauze were the hat. No
third party disputed the field with them.
A toque which is quite characteristic
Of the summer is shown in the flustra-
ton. A deep, full ruche of lace falls
from It, dropping over the hair. The
lace is black and under 1t shows a
wreath of fine flowers. Lace, dandeli-
ons and four o'clocks stand up behind.
Cowslips and roses are the flowers that
seem to please the buyers of millinery.
Hats are not afraid to enlarge their
boundaries; they grow bigger every
day. One, in the new cornhower blue
chiffon, is as huge and puffy as para
sol. It has black ostrich plumes and
