Not only BARRIERS, but dentists as
well, sometimes transgress the law in
the matter of teeth-pulling. A case
was recently brought to our attention
says the Troy Press, where a healthy
young woman was afflicted with the
toothache. She went to dentist NOT
only to have the offending member re-
moved, but all of her teeth, SO as to pre-
vent recurrence of the pain, and get a
false set. AS her teeth were in excel
lent condition the dentist expostulated
with her and refused to take the iob
The foolish young woman, however
went to another dentist in good stand

brought before the courts the preedy

Tho Poison of Eel,s blood.

If the conclusions drawn by late ex-

that were an eel provided with an APP

Objectionable than snake in the
grass. Prof. Masso, the Italian
scientist, in experimenting with the
blood of cells has discovered by inject
ing it under the skin of rabbits, frogs,
mice, guinea pigs, etc, that it is rank
poison, being similar in action to the
venom of snake OF the viper kind. The
viper's bite, it is we'll known, causes
death by paralyzing the action of the
respiratory organs; death from eel
blood poison is similar in nearly every
detail. In regard to the cure of 81 per-
son or animal injected with cells blood.
Prof Masso says that stimulants usual
ly given are wholly useless, and that
the only hope of q cure lies in trache-
otomy and the artificial pumping Of
air into tho lungs.

Tho LoqunciOns Ghost That Frightened

The scene of ghostly experience has
been shifted to the sea. An English
newspaper says the mate Of a Ship,
name not given, ordered one of the
youth to reef the maintopsail. When
he first got up he heard a strange voice
saying:

The lad waited for no more; he was
down in trice and told his adventure.

returned even more quickly, declaring
that he was quite sure that voice, not

Another went, and another; but each
came back with the same tale.
AT length the mate, having sent ND
the whole watch, ran up the shrouds
himself, and when he reached the
haunted spot, heard the dreadful words
distinctly uttered in his ear:

THE WOMAN OF FASHION
Bestows Considerable Thought
Upon Her Childrens Attire.
White Good Shade What NIaterlals

anG Dainty Dresses
lcopYnIGHr, 1927

We women change our fashions al
most as often as we change our minds.
In truth, every time we change our
minds our fashions get touch of the
departure. The thing VIC regard one
day with affection and delight we push
careicssly away the next as old-fash-
Toned and worthy of nothing but to be
discarded. We watch eagerly for n
shadow of change in any of the prevail
ing styles, and if we sec anything on
another woman which is slight adj
vance upon our own gown, we inmedi-
atcly go homo and have the garment
changed; or, if that is impossible, get u
new one. This progressive and emula-

tive spirit in women is the secret of the
ever-appearing new creations, both in
material and cut.
But what about our children? Do we
watch them with equally Jealous eyes?
Do we ever fret or worry for fear they
may be little behind the style? Not
SO much, fancy. Not so much, 1 be-
lievcd, when sat in the parlors of one
of our fashionable dressmakcrs, as she
showed me some chiltrcns gowns
which she said were designed for
Marguerite Shepard. They were beauti.
full indeed; but was n little surprised
at their simplicity. 1t was, however, a
great point in their favor. to my mind.
The style that prevailed of dressing
young children in quaint and curious
costumes has utterly died out. They
look much more like human beings
than they did then, and it is matter of
congratulation.
Another commendable thing about
them is their length. 1t is good thing,
l was informed by this same dress
maker, to have their gowns made a
good length. The awkward age in a.
child runs from eight or nine as far as
fifteen, and long, very full skirt will
hide numerous deficiencies. 1t is the
same with the waist. Puffs, shirrings
and loose folds, with great pulled
sleeves, will altogether transform a
thin, awkward-looking girl.
Keep children in white, so long as
possible. 1t is the most becoming col
or, and has young and childish-lool.-
ing effect. And surely that is what we
want. They grow old and fashionable
soon enough, heaven knows! There
are so many varieties in white material
that 1t is not hard to do this. After
they seem to have passed the fine white
muslin and lawn age, there are dainty
China silks and heavy corded silks aud
surah, and bengaline and numerous
other materials that make up charm
ingly.
But let me describe some of the dress
es that saw. First, two white ones;
one for young child, the other for
little older

almost concealed by big green pnffs at
the shoulder. Between three feather
stitched plaits Mt each side was small

SEW little gray beauty. The ma
tcrial was heavy faille-which, by the
way, is IL great favoritc in children's
garments-and over the gray silk collar
hung big gray bow right down to the
edge. The sleeves were pulled.
Ths'is pretty, is it not? China silk,
in pink, lowered, beltcd in ut the waist
over the shirring with broad brown
velvet band, collar of guilo..ro lace,
which is all in vogue now, and white
sleeves, with pink ovcr-putfs. Brown
bows make it light and airy looking.
This one is more suitable for fifteen
years-i:,atcrinl, old blue; style, Ia
princess. 1t is striped ut the bottom
with blue and white rows that have
satin finish. The bodice is made sur
plice fashion, trimmed with wide
plated white rufile. Then over this
the waist is cut coat-style, and the
stripe is brought into play here with
very good results. Under the coat laps
comes loose belt of blue velvet rib

Here's 4 pretty hat to go with it.
light cream straw, trimmed in the front
with big old blue bow that is caught
down with little pearl flies. There is a
little guipurc lace introduced with the
bow, and little knot of the ribbon
and lace at the back, which is turned
up in flutcd fashion. A great crescent,
made of pearl, is stuck through the
bow.
A soft brown China silk looks well
this way-gathcrcd in soft at the belt,

lighter. \ big puff of this lighter ma:

mingled looks pretty with it, trimmed
with an Alsatian bow in front that
stretches way round to each side. On
top of the crown Is n graceful spray of
yellow blossoms.
1t is surprising how much black is
used for children. 1t would seem to be
the last color in the world to put on
them, and yet their dresses are in many
cases trimmed with deep rufflcs of black
lace. Materials for cloaks vary very
little from what we big folk wear. Even
the cut is very much the same, except
perhaps, that box plaits in the back urc
used more. The soft fawns and gray.
are the prevailing colors, and the capes,
II capcs there be, are usually lined with
shot silk. The two coats in the illus
tration are for very young children,

unless 1t raises prices. and how can it
benefit the consumer if it does, and how
can it both raise wages and reduce

begin with some good singing by the
angels" and the opening exercises
are similar to those in the Methodist
Church, where he received his religi-
Gus training. 1t is only when he begins
his discourse that the peculiarities Of
his doctrine become apparent. AL
most invariably his sermons are di-
rectcd to the evidences of divinity
manifested in his life and work. His
chief argument is that God, having
finally decided that the means of re-
dcmption are inadequate to the needs
of mankind, has determined to make
another effort to rescue a perishing
world. To accomplish this end, he
claims, God has raised him up from
among the people, clothed him with
divinity and power from on high. and
delegated him to this work of regen-
Grafton. Thus he boldly declares
himself the second person of the trim
ity, claiming all the divine attributes
that Christ possessed when on earth
and the delegated power and author
ity Of God himself.
