stockings which are being displayed
in the stores. Black and white COM

Some pretty canvas dresses in navy,
brown and black are effectively bright
ened with a garniture of Scotch plaid
ribbon. One of the neatest suits of
very loosely woven canvas in a shade
of gingerbread brown has circular
skirt trimmed at each side with green
and blue plaid ribbon applied in the
form of a great inverted V with the
point at the hips reaching almost to the
belt. The ribbon is held in place by
small straps of brown taffeta that
cross it at regular intervals and that
are in turn held down with fiat gilt
buttons. The bolero Is amusingly short
and trimmed in harmony with the

NEW SHORT STORIES


Senator Cockrell is out $24-that is.
he thinks he Is, but he is not sure.
The circumstances are peculiar.
The senator was a member In 1888
Of what is known as the assay com,
mittee" by members Of congress. The
function Of that committee, which Is
composed Of members of the house
and senate. Is to visit the mint at the
city Of Philadelphia. They go into the
vaults where the coin is stored after
being manufactured, and after picking
out coins promiscuously they weigh,
measure and test them to determine
whether the specifications of the gov
eminent for their casting have all been
complied with. The work has never
been considered onerous, and the as
'signment to the committee has been
sought. On the particular occasion re-
ferred to the senator at the close Of the
work in Philadelphia received check
from Mr.. A. Louden Snowden for $24
for his expenses and services rendered.
1t was the night before the return Of
the committee to Washington, and on
his way to his hotel the senator was
jostled and on reaching the hotel
found that he had lost his pocketbook.
The senator has a lingering recollec-
ton of being somewhat backward
about admitting the robbery to his
colleagues and says it is barely posi-
BILE that he swallowed his loss without
disclosing 1t. In time the matter pass
ed entirely out Of his mind.
But short time ago it was recalled
to him by the receipt of letter and a
package sent from Philadelphia. The
letter stated that in tearing down an
old house in the tenement district Of
the city apocketbook was found under
one of the floors. The pocketbook
contained the check for $24. The SEN
ator took it to the treasury depart
ment, and the officials looked up the
records to learn If the amount had
been paid. After search through
many dusty ledger the officials found
the record of the check in question,
and an entry showed that it had been
presented and paid. The senator says
it is possible that later he had another
check issued in place Of the one which
had been stolen. In any event the
check itself makes a souvenir which
he will gladly retain. -.

TURNIPS IN THE CORN.

Plant the corn in straight rows and
keep the cultivator going until about

nip seed directly after the last cultiva-
ton. If two or three dashing showers
fall in a week or SO, no covering is
needed. If my ground is ready and
showers are in prospect, l hasten to
sow my seed. If no rain comes, the
seed must be lightly covered, much as
you would clover seed. Two or three
boards fastened together and drawn
between the rows Of corn cover the
seed very nicely.

when ] am in training I am ineXor- able.
 Since that time, I have become ac- quainted with saccharin tablets which take the place of sugar if one is trying to reduce flesh or is troubled with any disease of the kidneys and sugar is prohibited. Drop a saccharin tablet m a glass of lemonade, or in cup of tea or coffee and you will find it makes fine substitute for sugar.
 If one does not care for lemonade, any kind of mineral water is goo1 think it is just as well to avoid drinks containing carbolic acid gas, though l consider phosphatcs and apollnaris water much more healthful than ice cream soda.
 Here is a little health secret whi l am very glad to give you. If it is possible for you to drink glass of warm or hot water with the juice of an orange in it, every morning, before rcakfast you will find it very, ve9y beneficial. The warm acid acts directly on the liver and pavcs the WE" nccly for the meal that is to follow. I do not know how I could get along without ny glass of hot water and orange in the morning.
 We'll I was talking about what not to eat and drink. Leaving out those few things, what have we to eat?
 Plain soups, (the foundat ton of whic1 if made from meat, has stood ever night and had the grease removed) nearly all kinds of fish, mutton, beef, chicken, turkey, all kinds of game, eggs. milk. if eggs and milk agree with one, and it's preparations, such as koumsss, whey, buttermilk, etc, nearly every kind of vegetable, the most healthfus being spinach, asparagus, tomatoes. onions, squash, pumpkin, celery, oyster plant, beet tops, water cress and let tuce, beans, peas and corn, If grated from the cob, plenty of fruit and plain buildings without pastry. Baked GUS tard blanc mango, and other forms of gelatin make fine desserts. Rice is particularly hoalthful.

 We would all Ee better off without the following things. whether we are heshy or thin, we'll or ill, rich or poor: Tea and coffee, hot bread of all kinds, pie, cake p,um pudding, and other rich puddings, highly seasoned foods, veal, fried potatoes, fried oysters-in fact, think all fried things are better left alone-doughnuts. bananas, pickles lobAer and chicken salad, Welsh rare bit and all the highly seasoned French dishes.

I had never tasted Welsh rarebit, and l found l liked it.

And l made a VOW then and there that that Welsh rarebit should be my last and that if my stomach would forgive me for that deviation from the straight and narrow path. would be be good to it for evermore. I did not have night mare that night. for my digestive or. gans are perfect, but l know that We are better off without that seductive concoc.ion. and I, for one, have said good bye to it. Some man who was asked if he liked Welsh rarebit, sail: Yes, before eating, while eating and for short time afterward."
 We can get along without beer and all other intoxicating drinks, and sure, ly we are better off without them. Our blood needs to be kept so clean and coholic drinks are not conducive to that.
 Women who indulge freely in in- toxicating drinks, cannot expect to have clear comp,exions, bright, clean eyes and splendid health.
 Right here, calling down wrath up my head from the soda fountain ln@ n, , let me enter strong protest against ice cream soda, plain soda with airup, egg phosphate, egg chocolate, and many other connections that soda fountains are responsible for. The only good thing about an egg phosphate is the egg-the rest is awful. The only Sood thing about glass of ice cream soda is the glass. and that is not always as clean as it might be.

 Can you imagine person doing that at railroad eating-house, or the aver age man at the lunch counter?
 When ore drinks a glass or two or three or Ave, as I have several times observed, of water, one feels 'stufy after leaving the taSle, and wishes he had not eaten so much.
 l wish everyone could know how in- furious 1t is to drink ice water or ic5d milk or any iced drink If the heat of the stomach is one hundred degrees Fahrenheit and glass of water at the usual temperature of freshly drawn we'll water will reduce that temperature to seventy degrees, you can imagine what gass of iced liquid will do, or iced food of any kind.
 I am told that here In Arizona, es- pecially in summer, one must drink quantities of ice water, or up and die" Perhaps it Is necessary. but l believe 1 could go through a summer here without drinking anything iced, and I am sure l would be better off for it, and not feel the heat so much. Lemonade is a great quencher of thirst, and much better without ice.
 l think it would be better to give up tea and coffee entirely, especially if a woman wants to have a good com pIcxion and be free from headaches. l know it is hard. It took me over two weeks to get over the effects of giving up coffee. It was a bitter fight, and | felt, I think, a good deal as De Quincy did when he tried to give up opium. But I conquered, and for several years I have reaped the benefit of it. Coffee never seemed to hurt me, but the strug- gle I had in giving it up proved that it had been a stimulant, and habit that was not conducive to good health.
 Tea is bad for the nerves. It only stimu,atcs you for the time, as conee does, and then leaves you in worse condition than before. Women as a :u'S are just a bundle of nerves, and you will find that ninety nine ou: or a hundred are victims of the tea habit. Oh. pl5ase, everybody, give up drink ing tea and coffee and see how much better you will feel. You say you can no, do it. Use your will power. Fight and conquer. You will find such cif- ference in your health in a month. It will be worth the sacrifice. Coffee is an enemy to the liver Stop drinking 1t and see how your complexion Will clear up and the whites of your eyes get whitcr. Sometimes I meet people with nice complexlons who are coffee drinkers, but as rule people who drink that beverage are sarow.
 Now l must go back to the starting point and say few words, and then I will pass on to another subject.
 Eat plain. wholesome, digestible food as regularly as possible. Take no liquid with Your meals, unless it be milk, not iced, and drink plenty of water be- tween meals. Give up tea and coffee, ice cream, soda and drink nothing iced Now for what to eat! It is easier for me to tel you what not to eat than what to eat. I am in perfect health and l f. el that l have thoroughly mas tered the food question, and am not mistaken in specifying clean and un- clean things to eat.
