COMFORT IN JOURNEYING.
How. Woman May Overcome Some
Disadvantages.

It has been said in a score of diff
ferent ways that The turn of life is IN
trifles,'' and the truth, of the
old saying is never more ap-
parent than when one starts
on journey in the summer
time. The thousand i1ls that flesh is
heir to seem to hover in midair about
the average railway and it is only the
wsest of travellers who is transported
from place to place without dire dis
comfort. To begin with, # it is hot
everywhere it is terribly hot at all
times on the cars, and, as, a matter of
course the palm leaf fan comes into
play and unwary passengers are be-
guiled into increasing action in the
hope of getting cooler. Now. if there
is one thing that is sure to bring added
discomfort in warm place like a
steam car it is to sit and fan oneself.
If someone else does the tanning it is
well enough, but wise heads nod sober
ly at the young traveller who fans, and
if their owners are interested enough
in the victim of this bad habit they
will say to the fanner,' Don't"
There is way to keep moderately
cool in the hottest cars, and it is this:

NEW FASHION IDEAS.
Hints of What VIII BE In Vogue in
the Early Days of Autumn.

Sac de raisin is a novelty from Paris,
and forms very effective blouses on
cashhmeres and yelling skirts, vests
for linen gowns and collars and revers
for linen and taffeta cloaks. It's color
ing and design is Oriental and sub
dued, and the coarse cotton ground is
mighty smart.
A loose dust cloak. or racing cloak,
is of natural eolored linen, fitted be-
hind straight in front, and having a
round collar of this embroidered sack
ing. with two slender bands, continu-
ing along the sides of the open fronts
The collar is edged with a pelisse frill
of white taffeta, and small rolling
collar turns down upon this of Indian
red silk, with which the coax is lined.
Basques are slowly but surely COM
inc in, much to the del ght of all
women who do not boast the figure of
a sylph. And skirts set over the bodice
a good half inch below the curve OF
the waistline are very becoming to
such. A girdle of folded silk rather
high about the waist, buttoned with
fancy buttons down one side, is of
black taffeta, the skirt of beige crepe
de chine, fulled over a cord and
dropped bit below the waistline.
The top of the gown is shirred- into
the shoulder and tucked inside the
high ceinture in easy folds, a sort of
fichu of the beige crepe de chine being
crossed about the shoulders, fastened
with a knot and bow on one side of
the bust and edged with line of black
taffeta and a narrow beige and gold
fringe. The crepe sleeves are rucked
and slightly pouched at their tops,
while deep, tight cuffs of black taffeta
reach almost to the elbows. This
frock is built over cerise silk, and
great scarf of cerise tulle covered with
white tulle ties in a big bow under
the chin.

See to it before you leave home that
you are dressed with entire comfort;
then go leisurely to your station, walk
quietly to your car. sit down in placid
serenity, take a soft silk or linen hand
kerchief and put it about your neck
in loose folds, then take a light book or
paper with which to pretend to pass
the time and there rest in absolute
peace until your destination is reached.
Do not get UP and drink iced water
every half hour, do not fidget about at
every station and wonder why yours
is never coming and do not rasp your
voice and excite your blood by useless
conversation. These are the trif1es
that make travelling such a nuisance;
their opposites will bring a sense of
comfort that is more refreshing than a
cool wave. When a woman travels
she must always be at little disad-
vantage. even in the United States as
she cannot go to smoking car and re-

she has compensation since a swinging

are here in a car where smoke and

THE CITY Is HEALTHY.
DR.. Avery Finds Little to Complain
of at Present.


The health condition of Minneapolis at the
present time is most excellent and favorable,
and that there is less sickness and less pros
pect of an epidemic than for very long time
Dr. Avery, the health commissioner, is eX-
ceedingly pleased with existing conditions
vorably with any city in the country at this
time Last spring there was a run of ty-
phoid fever, but that has died out almost
entirely, and there are few cases now. Dr.
Avery is more certain than ever that the cpl
demic Of last spring was, in the main, due to
city water and he believes that if the direc-
tions of the health department are followed
next spring, in regard to city water, that
there will be such limited number of cases
as to absolutely prove that the impure water
was the source of this years contagion.
DR.. Avery believes that the coming winter
will be notable for the lack of contagious
disease cases, and hopes to be able to confne
the diseases to minimum number. He has
carefully followed the progress of the various
epidemics, and will again issue instructions
based upon latest discoveries in order that
tie people may avoid, to great extent, eX-
posing themselves to disease.
DIR. Avery is emphatic upon a subject that
has received very little discussion. He is op-
posed to the practice now prevalent in Min
neapolis of sweeping the pavements each
night with the patent roller sweepers. He
says that it is an abomnable practice and
unfavorable to perfect sanitary conditions
He thinks the right way to clean the pave
mentS is by a hand process of washing, and
not by the vigorous method of roller sweep
ing, which stirs up the dust and scatters it
everywhere through the air. settling finally
upon the fruit i'll the various stands, filling
the stores, and making the lar unfit to
breathe. 1T has been suggested" says Dr.
Avery, that it would be an excellent sani-
tary idea to have the street sprinklers de-
posit dsinfectant with the water But this
would be of little practical value SO long as
those vicious dust sweepers stir up all the
hlth in the street every day."

AS a sort of climax to- the grand

a great success, and was one of the

Quoted it with all his well known en-

great success. He put his whole soul
into the afternoons proceedings and
his earnestness, eloQuence and fiery en-

chord in the audience until it was
swept by wave Of enthusiastic re-
sponse. Rev. Larson opened the meet
ing with a passionate, earnest, elo-
quent prayer. Then he conducted
stirring song service for about half
All hour, in which he brought the au-
dience to their feet and by the con-
tagion of his own enthusiasm made
them sing each song with spirit that
shook the building.
He supplemented the musical num-

speaking of the significance of music
in church worship, and explaining to
the congregation how to put the prop

FOR DISEASE.
HOT WATER AND CHOPPED BEEF.
Man Cannot Live by Bread Alone
Also Indisputable That He Can
Get Along without Bread.

Special to the Globe.
LONDON, Sept 25.-Mcdical science
has just made the startling announce
ment that bread is the most prolific
cause of disease and death to be found
in the catalogue of foods. The staff
of life becomes the staff of death, and
81 me of the most eminent of SaVantS
are declared to have indorsed the state
ment that to live long we must avoid
bread, the king evil of the starchy
foods.
No less a parsonage than T. P.
in favor of no bread, and in the fu-
ture, if his leadership be followed, ban
ners inscribed Bread or Blood" which
have So often appeared in English la
boz PROFESSIONS, will be entirely out of
date. This is not advanced as a mere
theory but as a statement of simple
fact, and the reasons deduced from
the bristling array of indisputable as
sertions bear the merit of possessing
entire logic, garnished with that best
of all mental attributes, common sense.
Among the advocates quoted are DR..
Densmore, the hygienic expert of the
United States; the late Sir Isaac Hol-
den, DR.. Salisbury, of New York; Maj
Pond, the famous manager, of Amer
lea, and number of others. Dr. c.. d.
Evans, member of the Royal College
OF Sun 1geons, says, in speaking of this
new theory:
"The gradual accumulation of earth
ly matter Dime, etc. in the system
causes the characteristics of old age.
and from this it follows that the less
lime our diet contains the longer do we
live. Roughly speaking, the analysis
of foods, in regard to longevity, have
the following order: First (and best,
fruit, (2) fish, 90 animal food (4) vege-
tables, g, and worsD cereals Gncluding
bread. Bread as an article of diet,
after the age of twenty, most certain

called staff of life is often the in
direct cause Of his premature declen-
SION"
The remedy for this is stated to be,
by those who claim to know, a sub
sistence upon hot water and chopped
beef This treatment, it is declared,
was conceived by New York doctor.
Here is case in point that was called
to my attention, the friend who related
it to me saying:
In May last 1 was struck by the
ever-increasing pain and weakness OF
poor girl, a dressmaker, no longer
able to pursue her calling in spite Of

her consent 1 took her into my house,
and subjected her to thorough trial
of this New York doctors plan. A
month ago she returned to her home,
a bonny buxom soul, with eight kilos
added to her weight; rosy, happy, as
strong and hearty as any one could
wish to be. The fact was commented
upon by her neighbors, and presently

Chicago Times-Herald. 1--WE have all

My wife has tried everything. Ever

they are positively the rankest ever
encountered. She scattered them all
over the premises and they scattered
all kinds of vermin except the moths.
I'm prepared to prove that they fed
on the balls. Red pepper was then
tried and it was only after the baby
had sneeZed itself into fits that we
were permitted to breathe the pure
air again. Then came snuff. Of course
the baby had a relapse and every one
who spent few minutes in the house
left with the depressing conviction that
he had caught the hay fever and in

people shifted the air, and looked know

Some person, who is no friend of
mine, then assured my wife that tar
paper was the only thing that would
clean out moths. They used it at the
store houses, in lumber camps, and in
hot weather it was worth a mans life

number of old papers in the station, and while
no one was looking the child in some manner

completely enveloped her, and it was only
by the hardest efforts on the part of her
father that they were ext;nguished. The little

especially about the face and limbs. Her life

white figure at the window, and called to the
woman to be careful. He had barely spoken
when she fell head first and struck the hard
ground on her shoulders. The officer ran
but was unable to catch the woman before
she struck the ground She was picked up
in an unconscious condition. DR.. Ridgeway

she was taken to the city hospital. 1t was
found that no bones were broken, and that
the woman's injuries are not serious, al
