Rheumatic Fever
Wen Known Hotel Man Tells What
Hoods sarsaparilla Has Done.

William f. Davis is the owner OF
beautiful farm in Chelsea, VT.
During the summer months he holds
the position of steward at the Profile
House, Franconia Notch, n. H., and
IN winter is steward OF the St. James
Hotel, jacksonville, Florida. He says:
My wife had severe attack of rheu-
matte fever. Her feet and ankles were
terribly swollen and she suffered intense
pain. We knew about the merits OF
Hoods sarsaparilla, and she concluded
she would try it. The first effect of the
medicine was to increase her appetite and
she soon had more strength. Then the
swelling in her feet and ankles began to
diminish and the pain gradually left her.
She kept on taking Hoods Sarsaparina
until she was completely cured. She has
had no symptoms Of rheumatism since.n

FASHIONS IN SKIRTS AND WAISTS

Fashionably made dress skirts, with the exception of some tailor gowns, hang separate from the Things, which rarely measure more than four yards around.
 For narrow silks and washable ma terials, the best and newest skirt is the seven-gore bell, which fits smoothly across the front and hips and has a graceful fullness at the back. It has a dip in the back, which is given more by the bias back seam than by the add ed length at the bottom. In wide wool materials the bell skirt with the wide side gore is most used. It is graceful, and does not cut into the material to disadvantage. The Paquin skirt with a graduated circular f1ounce, Is made. in all sorts of materials, and will be much used in lightweight wool goods, as well as on the foulards, which are again to the front in new designs. Rows of graduated velvet run from the skirt hem to the waist, and many have rows of black insertion placed at intervals the entire depth of the skirt Of course drop Things are always used in these gowns, and the outside is tackled in places to the lining to prevent the net from sagging and hanging below the lining.
 There is no getting around the fact that the fancy odd waist will reign in definitely. Perhaps the chiffon and mousseline waists are the greatest fa- vorites, yet the fancy colored taffetas and velvets, as well as all sorts of silken weaveS, are much worn. Blousv fronts are still coming out daily in new creations, which fact assures their style as good for the coming season. March Woman's Home Companion.

The market continued strong un- til within few minutes of the close. when general realizing set in many of the early buyers disposing of their lines. Support in general way was withdrawn and prices dropped quickly. July had sold as high as S5ss6S54kc but It dropped in few minutes to S5kc and closed at S51s@S5hc.
