High Combs.

Two years ago shell side combs came
In and then went out, but the coming
winter promises to see them in vogue
again. Their Introduction was for or
nament, their reappearance for neces-
sity; how else shall we keep short
locks in place? High Spanish combs
owned by great-grandmothers are be-
ing carefully mended and are worn
with much sentiment by their descend
ants. 1t is useless to attempt these
combs with hat or bonnet. but for
house and evening wear they are ex-
onisite. At a recent colonial tea the
hostess wore the most beautiful one /
ever saw, handed down through her
family from Priscilla Alden. The comb
is the only style of metal permitted in
the hair. Daggers, swords, gold pins,
all win be considered bad form. De-

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion 60
Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
When a FIVE horsepower engine is made
to do ten horse power work something is
going TO break. Very often the hard
worked mai coming from the field or the
Office will "bolt his food in few min
utes which will take hours TO digest. Then
too many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a key of nails would be in a
FIRE under boiler The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which 1t gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
TO break" because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the iIl-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest In bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-
joyment Of life and healthy digestion when
he takes DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery 10 purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The Pellets " are tiny
sugar coated pills made of highly conccn-
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach Of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for a short time to cure the biliousness,
constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of
the liver; then the Medical Discovery"
should be taken in teaspoonfnl doses TO in
crease the blood and enrich it. It has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
Of the stomach and bowels, toning mp and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect OF the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to- sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. II you suffer from indi-
Restion. dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
OF the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can enrx
Vonrxrff with DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country.

FOR WINTER DRESSES.
Notes on the Making of Cold Weather


Notes on the Making OF Cold Weather
| y A3sf9 Costumes.
A point that the average woman will
do well to note is the choice of mate
| rial for lining winter garments. Three
or four thicknesses of wooden material
will not give the warmth that one ex-
| periences from one or two of thick,
closely-woven cotton. AS an interim
| ing for garments for severe weather,
canton flannel or denim of good quail
Iity, is unsurpassed. These materials
are somewhat heavy, but this is atoned
for by the feeling of comfort one gets
by their use. Next to them is some
leather material, such as channels
or sheepskin. 1t is possible to buy for
very small sum shaved-down sheep
skin that is as soft and pliable as vel
vet. Those who have never used this
as an interlining will be surprised at
the perfect comfort and protection it
affords There are persons who find it
impossible to keep warm no matter
what amount of wooden material they
may put on. This may be a constitu-
tional popularity, but, nevertheless, it
exists, and is worthy of consideration.
In trimming waists it is desirable to
put as little garniture across the back
between the shoulders as may be- Es-
pecially is this necessary if one is in
clined to stoop. The best way to put
elaborate garnitures on waists is to
have them end at the back of the
sleeves. They must be very full over
the shoulders, much less so across the
front Indeed, there should be just
enough fullness to hang gracefully.
One-third allowance is often too much
for the best effects, unless the lace is
very wide. Goods made into ruffies
should be adjusted after the dress is
put on. This saves a good deal of
trouble, and produces much better eff.
fects. AL
The folded soft belt and collar are
having long season of popularity.
They are almost universally employed
on dressy costumes, and are extremely
becoming to all except very stout per-
sons.-N. Y. Ledger.

An aAir' II Worth More to q Woman I han
Many Paris Frocks.
A distinguished carriage" is the
most useful possession a woman can
have. She may be absolutely plain OF
face and yet manage to make pretty
woman feel insignificant by contrast.
She may be poor, and yet make mon.
eyed danes envious. She may wear
cashmere, and yet cause the velvet.
robed keen jealousy. With distin.
guished air she compels even sales
ladies to do her bidding. Her butcher
saves his best cuts for her. Her wash.
erwoman never fails to bring her
clothes when they are due. Her neigh
bors admire and occasionally even the
cable car man respects her signals.
The FIRST requisite for distinguished
carriage is back" Stoop shoulders
and rounded backs or sway backs
are fatal to the aspirant for truly
elegant appearance. The proper posi-
ton is obtained when, with body unre-
stricted by tight clothing and not
thrown forward by high heels, one
stands with heavy weight balanced
on her head. 1t is impossible to hold
that weight unless the figure is cor
rectly held and the head is at just the
proper angle. Consequently an excel
lent exercise for obtaining correct
carriage is walking about ones room
balancing heavy book on the head,
or rising slowly on ones toes with the
weight balanced.
Every morning before her bath
woman should assume the correct
standing position and exercise for
few minutes with dumbbells or chest
weight. Or she may throw the shout
ders firmly back until the blades al.
most meet. This should be done a
number of times. Then the motion of
the arms used in rowing should be
made number of times.
When woman is walking she should
remember to preserve the correct po-
sition of legs, back, shoulders and
head. If she takes deep, long breaths
at every few steps she will be increas-
ing the capacity of her lungs and aid
ing the gymnastic exercises in their
good work of developing a distin
guished aim. Y. World.
