made. Slow progress was made at last

oLD-FAsHIoNED PURSES.
They Are I'm Fashion Again, and the
Homeiier They Are the More
Popular.

Purses carried by women nowadays
are in fancy grains and fancy colors,
the grain of the leather giving an APP
pearance of shading, while the edges
are bound in plain shade of the same
color or in a contrasting color. These
purses are all made in the common pat
terms, with change and bill compart-
ments.
There is revival Of an old German
purse, which is big fiat pouch when
opened and has a fiat top frame Of steel
in four pieces. The sides of the purse
are fiat and bound with straight pieces
of steel, while the leather forms bag
hanging from these side steels. The
end steels are half as wide and are
hinged to the side pieces, folding across
the top and meeting in the middle with
a clasp like a change purse.
When opened wide the whole purse
is spread cut about eight inches long.
There is a place for everything and
everything in its place in one big bag.
Its bulk, when filled with the usual
array of memoranda and samples must
be detrimental 10 it's popularity, as
Il must be held clasped in the hand,
and IL makes a pretty good handful
The popular purse, however, is of the
plainest and homeliest type. II is the
"fnger purse" named from the wpm-
ems habit Of carrying it with the fin
gers thrust through the big retaining
strap across the front This purse is
made of three plain strips of roughly
finished pigslSin, making two compart-
ments in the simplest form. One Is
gusseted for change and the other
Is fiat pocket for bills. The flaps OF
both compartments slip through a
strap across the front piece. The
whole is sewed about the edges with
harness stitching, with no attempt at
ornamentation.
To individualize this purse there arc
big brass initials, the same as are used
IN ornamenting brass-trimmed sets OF
harness. These are furnished with re-
tanning pins on the back, which are
easily thrust through the leather and
pressed down fiat.
There Is something rich about the
appearance Of these simple purses, and
their oddity has made them the most
poplar among the young folk.-Wash,

Tonnrr for thc FnII.

Toques, whether OF tulle or straw, are
now turned up in front or more de-
cidedly so on the left side, the latter
arrangement being most invariably
chosen when flowers are used for trim
ming. These are arranged in large
sluster covering the whole OF the por-
tion OF the turned-up brim, which rises
rather higher than the crown. Medium
sized blossoms-half-open roses, OK
eyed daisies, poppics, cornhowers, and
for the early autumn, astors and shall
dshlias-are most appropriate 10 the
purpose. For trimming hats, on the
contrary, large blossoms are preferred.

The board Of directors met in Salem on
a large amount Of business. The contract
for the new wing was awarded to A. J..

for the gardener will be built at once, and
a fence plpaced around the grounds Con-
tracts for plumbing, sewerage and heat
ing will be awarded later.
This institution, which has been needed
so much, will be opened about the first of
April. Those knowing of girls ready for
admission, will inform either the Superin-
tendent or the President of the Board.
Admissions are the same as for boys into

ity. The building when competed will be
beautiful and credit to the State and no
institution Will in the future do more to
elevate the morals and raise the woman
hood of our State to a higher plane.
The members of the Board feel that they
have been unusually fortunate in secur-
ing for superintendent a most excellent
woman, whose influence will be felt in
this community in future generations,
through her teaching of large numbers
of youth of this city. While the industrial
home gains so much, Wheeling will sorely
feel the loss of this amiable and gifted
woman, Miss Elizabeth Clohan, principal
of Clay school,
The industrial home will have for house
keener Mrs Ophelia Trippet. of Ravens
wood: as seamstress, Miss Mary L. Da-
Wis, of Weston.
While this is a State institution. the ap-
preparations have not been all that could
be desired, and the Board would be glad
to receive gifts of money to buy suitable
books for the girls in the home.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.


Do Not BE Alarmed, But Look For tn
Cause.
Heart troubles. at least among
the Americans, are certainly in
creasing, and while this may be
largely due to the excitement and
worry of American business life,
it is more often the result of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred Of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is be-
cause both organs are controlled
by the same great nerves, the Sym
pathetic and Pneumonogastric.
In another way, also the heart is
affected by the form of poor diges-
tiAn, which causes gas and fermen-
tation from half digested food.
There is a feeling of oppression
and heaviness in the chest caused
by pressure of the distended stOm-
ach on the heart and lungs, inter-
fering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, making it thin and watery,
which irritates and weakers the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the dl-
gestion and to insure the prompt
assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular
use after meals of some safe, pleas
ant and effective digestive prepa-
ration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain val
liable, harmless digestive elements
in a pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tab
let's sold by druggists at so cents.
Little book on stomach troubles
mailed free. Address F. A. Stuart,
Marshall, Mich.
