trienne drops all conventionality dur
ing the dog days, and appears in
blouse and straw hat.
The increased love Of sport which
women are developing has given enter
prising costumers the idea for a so
short skirt of the costume can be
shortened and adjusted according to
the occupation of the wearer, so that
the woman who plays tennis or golf
is ready TO mount her wheel or her
horse at her pleasure, without changing
her dress
The success Of this very practical gar
ment depends upon the stability Of mind
of the fair sex.

GULF OF CALIFORNIA PEARLS

The whole coast Of the Gulf OF Cal.
ifornia abounds in pearls. and last
year $350,000 worth was harvested In
Lower California alone. Pearl-nshlns
is the entire occupation OF the natives.
and La PEI, the headquarters, city OF
the peninsula, with about 1000 In
habitants, is solely dependent upon the
industry. Every oyster does not contain
its pearl, and only AZ intervals Is
really valuable pearl thus discovered.
The largest one ever found was about
three-quarters OF an inch in diameter,
and was sold in Paris to the Emperor
Of Austria for $4,000. Many black
pearls are found in Lower California,
and are valued higher than the pure
white.

A Prominent western newspaper re-
commends fax seed tea as an excellent
remedy for whooping cough. 1t may be
good but it is not to be compared with
Chamberland's Cough Remedy. This
preparation will allav the violent fits of
coughing and make them less frequent
and less severe. 1t also liquefies the
tough mucus, making it easier to expec-
torate. Complete recovery is much
quicker, too, when the remedy is given.

children, as it is q pleasant syrup and
contains nothing injurious. For sale at
