fashionable color mixtures Green, hya-

Closely fitted basque bodices are made
by many ladies' tailors in preference to
either round waists. pointed bodices or
Russian blouses.
A pale, rose colorcd silk bodice, trimmed
with narrow black velvet ribbon and cut
steel beads, makes beautiful combination
with a gray silk skirt
All street, tailor and utility gowns are

with graceful demitrain.
Many of the excessively large velvet hats

THE REST CURE.

This is often the best cure. But many
people cannot afford to rest indefinitely.
Worse still, the very knowledge that they
cannot seriously interferes with the best use
of the rest they have. Too often going to the
doctor means that the patient shall stop short,
while cares and duties aud expenses continue.
Many, therefore, hesitate and delay.
Drs Starkey & Palen's Compound Oxygen
Treatment presents an easy way out of the
dilemma; it has done so for more than score
of years and for more than three score thous-
and people. The agent used is the Compound
Oxygen. The method puts it where it will do
the most goed-in the lungs. The treatment
neither interfcres with business nor pleasure.
This simple thing has made multitudes of run
