H. L. MYERS.

Mr.. H. L. Myers, of 100 Mulberry street,
Newark, N. J., made the mistake of re-
lying upon remedies based upon mineral
ingredients, and for the hundreds of
dollars which he invested received only
disappointment in return. He says;
II was afflicted with terrible blood
disease, which was in spots at first, but
afterwards spread all over my body.
These soon broke out into sores, and it
is easy to imagine the suffering I en-
dured.
"Before I became convinced that
the doctors could do no good had
spent hundred dollars, which was
really thrown away. then tried vari-
Gus patent medicines, but they did not
reach the disease. When had finished
my first bottle of SS.S., I was greatly
improved and was delighted with the
result. The large red splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller,
and before long disappeared entirely.

clear as a piece of glass"
S.S.S. is sure cure for all manner
of blood diseases, and disappointment
never results from its use. 1t is

Autumn Millinery.

1t is said that the historic white
plume waves on every autumn hat.
Ostrich feathers of all tints and in
great abundance overtop everything
else in trimming, although flowers,
ribbons and ornaments are used.
The shapes follow the early victorian
period, the GainsborOugh hat being
especially prominent. Purple still
holds sway as to color, and deep red
royal blue, sllver-gray and black
and white are much used.

No
Patchwork!

One of the most encouraging features
Of a cure made by SIS. (Swift's Specifc)
is its permanency. Ofall diseases, it is
well known that those of the blood are
the most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, in fact, have virtually adj
mitted that a real, deepseated blood
disease is beyond their skill.
OF course, their admission is not made
in so many words, but actions speak
louder than words, and their inability to
cure, after months and often years of
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Their mercurial mixtures, al
though taken faithfully, only cover up
the symptoms of the disease, inducing
the patient to feel that he is being cured;
but when he is sooner or later seized
with stiff joints, pain in the bones, ETC.,
the evidence of the doctors patchwork
is conclusive. Such results cannot be ex-
pected from the use of S. S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm
full mineral ingredients, it is the only
blood remedy which acts on the true
principle of forcing the disease from
the system, building up rather than
tearing down the health. No loss of
hair, no stiff joints, no decrepit mercu-
rial wrecks result from the use of S.S.S.

1t has long been recognized that
the beauty of the body can be in
creased by means of the bath; the
Greeks and Romans had skins like
marble for smoothnuss and white
ness. In the stories of famous beau
ties much is said of their baths.
This one bathed in wine which was
afterwards bottled and sold to the
people, who esteemed it the more on
that account; they n9Xt bathed in
asses or goats milk; another pre-
served the beauty of her skin with
rain water only; fourth laved in
the Juice of crushed strawberries
which impaired lovely tint and a
surprising fragrance to her skin.
All kinds of essences and perfumes
were added to the bath to impart
beauty to the skin and fragrant
charm to the body of the woman
who often swayed the destiny of
kings and Kingdoms. These secrets
of the bath are little needed these
days, though now and then one
hears of the milk and strawberry
bath being used by an actress.
There are certain things that ca n
De uSeu III Jn6 OaCn 10 advantage.
A bran bath, for instance, softens and
greatly benefits the skin, especially
a skin easily irritated Bags of the
bran may be had ready prepared at
the druggists and are more agree
able to use than bran scattered loose
in the bath, though some writers
say that the bran should come in
direct contact with the skin. A
couple of quarts of bran should be
used for a bath. The addition of
Orris root perfumes the skin. A lit
tie borax or ammonia added to the
water is good for the skin, especially
if the water is not soft, but too mach
should not be used as it makes the
skin dry. The same is true of
alcohol, which is excellent for use
after the bath, making the skin
smooth and firm, and improving its
texture, unless too much is used, or
the skin is naturally dry, when one
should use oil of some kind.-De-
lineator.

The Use of COlOrs.

There are colors that are refresh
ing and broadening, others that alb
sorb light and give a boxed up APP
pearauce to room, others that
make room with a bleak northern
exposure, or with no exposure at all,
appear bright and cheerful, some
that make room appear warm, and
some that make it cold.
The thermometer seems to fall six
degrees when you walk into a blue
room. Yellow is an advancing
color. Therefore a room fitted up
in yellow will appear smaller than
it is.
On the other hand, blue of GER
tain shade introduced generously
into a room will give an idea of
space. Red makes no difference in
regard to size. Green makes very
little.
If brigh5, sunny room gets its
! light from space obtruded upon by
russell colored or yellow painted
| houses, or else looks out upon a
stretch of green grass, it should be
! decorted in a color very different
! from the shade chosen if the light
comes from only an unbr oxen eX'
panse of sky.
Red brings out in room what
ever hint of green turks in the com
position of the other colOrs en-
! plOyed.
Green needs sunlight to develop
the yellow in it and make it seem
cheerful.
! If olive or red brown be used in
conjunction with mahogany fur
niture, the effect is very different
from what it would be if blue were
used. Blue would develop the
tawny orange lurking in the ma
hOgany.
If ceiling is to be made higher
leave it light that it may appear t
to recede. Deepening the colol
used or the ceiling would make i
lower, an effect desirable if the room
is small and the ceiling very high
Various tones of yellow are sub

Fortunately for many Of us the
new jackets differ very little from
those of II year ago. Almost any
shape and length is admissible and
any seasonable stuff may be used.
Very elegant in effect are those
which match the skirt.
The little empire jacket is out in
force. Sometimes it reaches a tritie
below the waist, but most often it
does not quite reach the belt. This,
like the Others, is often made to
match a costume, but is oftener
made of velvet, silk or cloth. There
are a short square yoke and a high,
flaring collar, more or less ornate, as
one may prefer. The lower part is
laid in plaits, sometimes plain deep
box plaits all around, and some
times there will be but one in the
centre of the back and one on each
side in front. These are wider al
the bottom than the top, and are
made so by having that part
sprung"

In his faultessly fine array;

But he didn't know what to say;
So he wished the charming young

WIImpSCS OF SIhHII THHHINHs'
Milliner's folds are to be seen on
some of the most stylish costumes of
the moment.
The ugly tilt that sent the hat
down over the nose will have its
way no longer. The newest hats
set back from the face in much
more becoming and natural manner.
Carriers that have small purses, in
which to carry jewels or money,
attached to them are among the
newest things designed for the adj
miration and comfort of women.
Handkerchief borders are about
as brightly colored Us stockings, and
the latter continue to be very bright.
Plaid stockings with low black shoes
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-09-10

evening gowns of color, as we'll as
those of black. A party gown Of
geraneum pink grenadine with
draped skirt and bodice is trimmed
with jet fringe, which is very fine
and glittering. A white mousseline
de sole gown is also thus embel-
lished.
The season of pretty morning
jackets is at hand. The model that
has yoke at the back, a wide
laced-edged collar and loose front,
is still the favOrite one.
Side combs come in sets of three
or four, sometimes all hinged to-
gether. These are worn on top of
the head about the knot and at the
back, just beneath it. The most
elegant ones of them are jeweled.
The becoming ostrich feather boar
will be more popular than ever.
The SWEETEST shoe for fall wear is
the high laced kid, with dark green
or tan cloth tops. The kid matches
it in color. The toes are long and
pointed, or rounded if preferred.
There are also some with black
cloth tops.
/ Narrow sOutache braid and very
narrow baby ribbon and velvet RIB
bon have unusual prominence on
! the newest tailor made gowns. Some
suits have hundreds of yards of
braid on them, and some jackets
have three revers, one above the
other. Revers are among the popu-
lar finishes for tailor gowns.
