Some Small Items of Information for
Every Day Refer


Mice object to camphor gum, and it
is a good plan to sprinkle it around
their haunts.
Fresh tomatoes are anti-bilious, and
thus not only wholesome for healthy
people, but may be used with adyan-
tage in many cases of fever. Dio Lewis
used to say that he expected to see the
day when tomatoes would take their
place in the pharmacopoeia among es-
tablished remedies for fever. Fresh
tomatoes, gathered from the vine be-
fore the sun is on them, are excellent
for dyspeptics. They should be eaten
without seasoning, or, at most, with
little salt, says the Boston Budget.
To construct a Friendship calen-
dar," cut smooth paper slips for 3G5
pages, mark on them the days of the
month and week and distribute them
among as many different friends as
possible for an autographs sentiment.
tThen arrange them in rotation, block
and gum them, paste to a piece Of
cardboard, which may be handpaint-
ed, and then punch to hang on the
wall.
Toy dogs are favorite playthings
with little children. The descript
ours that amused the little people of
the last generation would not find IA
! vor III the eyes of the more sophistica-
ted youngsters of the present day.
l Woolly dogs are now made to repre-
sent accurately the different kinds of
dogs. Spaniels. white and black
poodles, pugs, fox terriers and badger
dogs are mounted on casters so as to
be easily trundled after their masters
and mistresses.- Sometimes they have
fine coats of broad ribbon and blan-
kets ornamented with bells.
To preserve berries whole, buy the
fruit when not too ripe, pick over inn
mediately, wash if absolutely neces-
sary and put in glass jars, filling each
one about two-thirds full. Put in the
/ preserving kettle a pound of sugar and
one cupful of water for every two
pounds of fruit and let it come slowly
to a boil. Pour this syrup into the
jars over the berries, filing them to
the brim; then set the jars in a pot of
cold water on the stove and let the wa

hot. Now take them out and seal per-
fectly tight. If this process is fol-
lowed thoroughly the fruit will keep
I for several years.
The enlarged pores of the skin can
be remedied by simple means, if one
has patience. The face should be
bathed every night in reasonably hot,
not merely warm, water. 1t is bet
ter to use Turkish towel for the pur-
pose ard rub softly with an upward
motion from the chin. Soap of the
purest quality, preferably an almond
or olive oil soap, should be employed.
Afterward a little cold cream may be
! applied. In the morning the face
should be we'll bathed with cold water
to restore firmness to the muscles,
| This treatment, faithfully given, has
never been known to fail to cure en-
larger,ent of the pores in about six
months. The same method will re-
move the roughness of the upper arm
that sometimes troubles one who
wears evening dress cut decollete.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.
Some of the Small Adjuncts to Ladfcs'
Costumes That Are Now
in Vogue.

The latest tag ornaments are made
Iof coins or jewels in pear or round
shapes.
Genuine antique Persian brocade is
used for the fashionable little wrist
bags, with clasps of carved oxidized
silver set with coral.
Velvet in floral patterns will be
used as applique trimming in the au-
tumn instead of the cretonne strips
that have been SO much in demand
this summer, writes a fashion author
ity.
A touch of scarlet introduced in hat
or gown trimming is Partisan fancy
for late summer and fall.
Buttons, stitching and strappings
are noticeable adjuncts in the deco
ration of the new yachting costumes.
Shaded materials are coming into
vogue again.
Black and pale blue is a combina-
ton that this season has divided ia
vor with the ever popular black and
white.
Chiffon wells are much in evidence,
but more as hat trimming than for
face protection. They are generally
dotted, and the favorite colors are
white, blue, gray, black or brown.
The newest millinery ornaments
are of gun metal, studded with cut
steel or rhinestones. Cut jet com
'bined with gold will also be used for
hat decoration during the coming sea-
son.
For men travellers housewife
has been designed, which consists Oh
a handy leather case, containing
needles, thread, buttons and scissors
The case can be rolled into compact
form and carried in the pocket.
The automobile cocllade is the
latest fad in hat trimming and is seer
to special advantage on shirt waist
models. The cockade consists Of
many loops of chenille or narrow
width ribbon.
The Louis XIV. and long loose coats
give opportunity for the use of large
fancy buttons and for the inside vest
small, dainty ones may be utilized.
It is predicted that old-fashioned
brocades will be introduced this sea
son, at least brocaded effects in silk
Taffeta chiffon, which combines the
qualities of both these fabrics anG
louisine, are favored silks.
Apricot, soft and generally be
coming tint, is much worn in Paris
and in combination with creamy lace
and touch of black velvet it is ex
ceedingly effective.
Biscuit-colored point d'esprit gowns
with large collars or fichus, trimmed
with lace, are delightfully."- cool fol
these sultry August days. The es
sential note of black is introduced by
means of black velvet or tulle chou,
on the bodice and transparent yoke
of fine black lace threaded with blacl
bebe velvet ribbon. The belt is otter
of black taffeta, finished with three
tiny steel buckles.

Dainty TriHcs That Are Now In Favor
with Up-tO-Date
Dressers.

Far-seeirg London designers have
recently declared that the tlounces
and frills on the lower half of the
skirt are but forerunners of the ca
lamity of crinoline and hoopskirts,
says the New York Post.
Tucks, accordion, side, and box
plaitings, insertion bands and dainty
patterns in lace applique form the
garnitures which dominate on gowns
prepared for morning, afternoon and
evening wear next season.
Velvet ribbon is likewise used in
every possible form In waved, vertical
and diagonal lines in lattice, diamond
and Greek-key patterns, and for
bows, loops, choux, rosettes, tabs,
pointed ends, lacings, ETC., from the
narrowest to the widest weaves of
the ribbon.
The flexible blouses and shirt
waists made ready for hot weather
Wear are boon to hundreds of wom-
en-, who dislike these waists made in
the usual way. They have 10 stiff
buttonholes, and are devoid of the
garrote-like collars, which, during
! the torrid season (even in the hands
of their owners proper, who have
been made perfect in the art of fas-
tening them by years of practice),
are instruments of torture, The
Byron or other rundown collar Is
really the only one suitable for a
semi-neglige waist like blouse, as
the soft, light fabrics which usually
compose them are not adapted for a
''choker," and, when one of the stiff
line is added, it never looks quite in
its proper place.

washing lettuce, place the leaves in

neglected before stuffing.

AS DR.. CLARK remarked In one OF his
Familiar Lestars. "Tnis pledge does not
demand participation in every MID week
prayer meeting OF the church, for 1t is
felt that that matter must be left TO the
direction OF the churnhes'
In promising attendance on tina mid
week prayer meeting, the pledge goes az
Tar as it consistently can. 1s assumes
no right to dictate to the church or pastor
who shall take part In the prayer meet
ing. IL simply places In the waiting
line. Tor suca participation as those In
authority may desire, the finished pro-
duct of the Christian Endeav0r training
school, but IL asks for them no sue;ial
con sideration that shall,ditferentiateItne
from other mem bers OF the church that
are not Endeavorers
The same is true in reg ard to the last
CLAUSE OF the pledge promising some def
mite church work. This pledge does no t
propose even TO suggest In what lines OF
Work churches shall use their graduated
Endeavorers, IL assumes nothing for the
church or pastor, but tnat they viii

honorary mem her that he will feel the
force Of such an obligation, and that he
will kesp his ear to the ground, or wher-
ever the proper place is TO keep 1t, and
be ready to do anything and everything
he Is callsd to do.
There is, OF course, the further assnmp-
tion that underlies the whole movement,
that the plans of the average church are
sufficiently aggressive and flexible "a

A provision for some degree OF coher.
ENJOY in the honorary membership is the
assignment of ssmi-annuAl or annual
meetings with the Endeavor society, and
the proposed amendment to the model
constitution by which honorary members
are to be enrolled. though separately
from the active members.

the benefit Of the training for work that
the Endeavor society gives. In other
words, to market the finished product of
the Endeavor training school
2 To furnish a body OF sympathy and
heIpfuIness between the rest OF tine So
active as formerly in this particular
sphere, In order that they may transfer
their activities to the very sphere for
which Christian Endeavor is designed TO
train them.
To open the way for the largest
development OF the younger members by
placing on them the responsibility for
running the society.
The need has been felt with force
that has grown with the years. But the
best methods Of attaining these ends have
not until recently been clearly defined.
Honorary membership to many has
seemed a nebulous affair. There have
been soma Misunderstanding as TO what
it proposed TO accomplish. and how, and
as TO the manner IN which the thing pro-
posed would affect churches and pastors.
But the plans now proposed are surely
definite enough to dispei all the fog, and
viaorous enough TO make honorary mem
bership vital thing, while they are
deli cate enough In their adjustment TO
church and pastor to insure the utmost
harmony ana good feeling.
There Is a pledge for those that leave
the active work OF the society through
the door Of at least an equivalent service
in other departments Of the church. The
principle on which this pledge is based
Is, Once an Endeavorsr always an En-
deavorer. 1t is the simplest and yet the
most specific pledge that 1t seems possi-
BILE to frame, when it Is remembered that
It is TO be applied not TO Christian En-
dsavor alone but to the more complex
problem of the largest heipfulness possi-
BILE to the church and pastor. 1t reads;
ssTrusting In the Lord Jesus Christ for
strength, promise Him that will strive
to do whatever He would like TO have me
do, that will make It ths rule OF my
life TO pray and read the Bible every day,
and to support my own church In every
