GOOD TASTE IN DRESS.

Good taste in dress is largely q
matter of education, and no lady can
afford to neglect this, no matter what
her station in life may be. A dress
should accord with reason and good
judgment, bearing in mind that there
is such thing as beauty of outline
of form that should be constantly
sought for and used so as to bring
out the results an artist would desire
and appreciate. In no other way
could these results be obtained, ex-
cept by careful education and train
ing in such matters.
There have been MANY attempts
made to get a correct system whereby
all kinds of clothing could be cut for
general wear. There have been paper
charts. models, scales, folding and
sliding devices of every conceivabl
kind, but none was successful.
There was no system for general use
that could cut anything beyond a
plain waist lining and plain sleeve
until the invention of the Diamond
Garment Cutter, which was the first.
and is today the only practical and
successful method of cutting and tit
ting all kinds of garments worn. And
again, there is not an article in
America that has been introduced
into family use that gives as much
satisfaction, saves more time, trouble
and annoyance. and what is better
still-money-than the Diamond Gar
ment Cutter.
April II, 1900.-Managers of Dia-
mond Garment Cutter School, Rock
Island. Gentlemen; l received full
course of instruction in the use of the
Diamond Garment Cutter over two
years ago. and have used it with per-
feet satisfaction ever since.

Postal Frauds.


The allegations of fraud in the
Washington city postofice are thus
summarized:
A confidential report showed that
irregular disbursements for the year
ending June 30, 1899. amounted to
from $4,000 to 100000. During
that period the Porto Rican postal
service was included with that of
Washington city. Many of the ex-
travagances occurred in Porto Rico
Through political influence from so
to IS henchmen enjoyed luxurious
iunkets at the public expense. Some
of the postoffice officials travelled upon
private business at the government s
expense. Many of the vouchers were
pushed through the auditing depsrt-
mont only with the utmost difficulty.
But they passed.
For more than year six women
cleaners were carried on the rolls at
$500 each and performed no service.
Letter carriers were detailed to ex-
anime the claims of their associates
for overtime and drew salaries at both
places.
Funds were paid for double and
even triple salaries in very ingenious
ways.

The large Catholic church building
burned last Thursday. The fire was
first discovered about 1890. while
people were eating their dinners. and
in about half an hour the building
was burned to the ground, a total
loss. 1t was insured in the Spring
field Fire and Marine Insurance COM
pany for $3.50. No one seems to
know just how the fire originated.
Church services were held at O'Clock
a. m. that day and all the candles
were put out and the church locked
up about 8 o'clock. There had been
no fire in the stove. The building
evidently had been on fire for some
time before it was discovered. The
residence of Mrs. H. +. Thomas, 200
feet away, caught fire from the sparks
of the burning building. but the
flames were extinguished before any
damage was done.

By means of costly appliances found

have tried all other means and failed.
The best physicians frankly admit
