BIG JAG FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.

A trio of youngsters between the ages
Of 4 and Z were participants in an affair
"Wednesday most foreign to the regular
routine Of a youngsters life. While
playing horse" or pull away" in the
vicinity OF a brewery storage house one
of them espied an unopened bottle of
beer and the youngsters proceeded to
investigate.
T Six dirty little hands and the aid of
la broken toad stabber' managed to
tear off the wire and extract the cork.
Then the little banquet began. There
were toasts and toasts and more toasts.
until not another drop of the amber
liquid could be gotten from the bottle
even by squeezing 1t.
Then three youngsters slowly with
difficulty tackled up the alley towards
three respective homes. Three fond ana
doting mothers of the east end were
shocked and Mortified by the zig -zaggy
motions Of three dirty, booty young
sters, and later three resounding squalls
arose to the skies in protesting trio Ia

ALCOHOL NOT FOOD.

When the vendors of strong alcoholic

represent both the intent and the eS-l

such unblushing falsehood as is con-

from Professor Atwater his own state
ment on the subject. His reply IS in
part as follows:
You ask, Mould You ever advise a
student. Young or ma ture, to use alco-i
holic drinks regularly as brain food?
Most certainly not. It is difficult for
me to conceive how any one at all fa-
.miliar with the fundamental principles
of physiological chemistry could think
OF alcohol as brain food So far from
advising my students to use alcohol, 1t
has been my custom, in a lecture upon
this subject, which forms part of a
course of physiological chemistry. to
call especial attention to the great evil
which comes from its habitual and ex-
cessive use.
We see no reason to change our posi-
ton on the original issue-namely,
whether alcohol should be called food
in school text books. merely because a
certain quantity OF 1t can be absorbed
into the system. The baneful effects
upon the tissues and functions OF the
body, to say nothing of he debasing OF
the mental powers. are sufficient to
brand 1t as poison.

LIBERAL TOWARD a CHURCH

lCreston Adverttser.l
The Valley Chapel Methodist church
was dedicated yesterday afternoon by
Rev. G. L. Nye. About $500 was to raise
in order to relieve the church from all
remembrance and this amount was pro-
5vided for. The building is located on the
Bilbo farm, about four miles east of the
city. 1t is a handsome and modern So
200 ediiice. The erection of the church
is largely due to the liberalitys Of Mrs.
lBilho and her con George. Mrs. Bilbo
gave $1,000 toward the construction of
the church. Mr.. Rilbo gave the ground
and after the dedication yesterday af-
sternoon he handed the trustees a check
Cor $500. which was sufficient to clear
the building of all indcbtedness. 1t was
a great day for the Valley Chapel con-
gregation. The trustees and members of
the church. appreciating the liberality
OF the Bilbos, are considering the ad-
Visibility of naming the church the
Bilbo Memorial church.

Fspeel.i Corr sponasnce

New YoRR. Aug. 2i.-~Not every one
Is blessed with sylphlike form. and
only too many Of Us are stouter than
we would like &c be II VIC had cur
choice. And no one has ever seemed to
realize that a special treatment III
dress was needed to hide the defect
as far as 1t might he possible until
within the last two seasons
New we find dresses designed with
the avowed purpose Of discriminating
the overplus Of flesh. And al the fat
ones must offer a vote Of thanks TO the
progressive ones whose talent has
been put to SO severe test. The un-
fortunate fat woman has my sympathy.
and here is q pretty design for dress
that win SO hide the fact that she IS
too stout that her dearest foe viii not
suspect il:
In the first place the skirt to the
dress is cut with narrow front
breadth. and at the top It Is followed
out one inch. or more If the stomach Is
very high. This sets the bottom Of the
SKIRT out SO that the awful shape of the
high stomach is completely disguised
from the waist line down.
Now it becomes necessary for the
rest to be disguised and something In
this line can be done by having a
crush belt drawn down q little. but SO
arranged that it seems as IL by design
it was left loose because the waist
was so small that there was nothing
90 hide. This can easily be done BY
any dressmaker, and it can be really
tight While seeming to he loose, The
main object being 80 hide the telltale
depression at the waist between the
bust and the hips. the waist should be
loose, and there should be a vest. fnll
and so arranged that there Is no divid-
ing line and the picture gives a strong
hint in the right direction This i OF
soft silk. and it IS shlrred SO that all
the fullness is distributed. a tie adds
grace and the long straight line which
always appears to give slenderness TO
the figure.
Outside Of this is the waist proper,
and this is cut so that no tight seams
are allowed to define the figure. In
front the sides hang loose and the
collar and revers are so designed that
they add to the general effect of length
without width. This, If studied little.
win give hints TO any one on which
they can elaborate, always bearing in
mind that all lines should be as long as
possible and all waist effects should
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1900-09-01

be so loose that the waist is lost sight
of In admiration of the long and grace
full garment. An additional benefit
can be derived by having something
over the shoulders which gives APP
parent width and thus has the effect
of reducing the size around the waist.
But whatever you do do not make a
tight tailor suit, for that is the very
worst way one can take to accentuate
the evil.
1t would almost seem that the coats
and cloaks for the approaching season
were designed with a view to affording
comfort and grace 10 the unfortunate
fat woman, for they are all long and as
narrow around the skirts as they can
be. and the lines extend from the
shoulders to the bottom in an unbroken
sweep. All are straight In front and
are trimmed with stitching all around
the edges. and the most OF them have
doubled seams, and we all know how
effective they are to define outlines.
All these are made long. especially in
the back, and reach 20 about ten inches
from the bottom of the dress.
Many of them, and in fact most OF
them, have fur collars Of various
shapes, but all with storm collars and
rather large lapels. Some of them
have very stylish arrangements of but
tons down the front. These coats are
called three-quarter length, and it is
expected that they viii be favorites
both for the promenade and for auto
mobiles. Kersey is oftenest seen in
these coats, and they are lined with
all sorts of stuff, but most particularly
it seems as If brocade was TO be the
favorite.
saw many capes and say with
authority that they win be much
favored, both for the young. when they
viii be mostly on the golf style, while
those for the more sedate persons VIII
have theirs of thick and heavy kersey
and other heavy woods, and they win
be lined with satin or brocade, as is
preferred.
The short jacket Is still the high
favorte for young and old for tailor
suits. and they are made with the ut
most care and fine finish. Scallops,
both on the edges and as trimming,
with stitching. make the most stylish
OF all garnitures. OLIVE HARPER.
