The Ailments Iof Children.

That children should be afflicted with
headaches is unnatural. and the cause
should be investigated and the remedy ap-
piled at once if parents would preserve the
health and lives of their children.
One of the first causes of headache Is too
rapid growth. AS remedy keep children
from overwork and feed them with rather
cooling foods and little meat.
Plenty of fresh air and outdoor life will
neutralize any ill-effects arising from too
much intellectual activity.
Indigestion is fruitful cause of head
aches, and is most frequently the result of
improper food or overea ting Regular
hours and suitable diet Is the only remedy.
Headaches frequently have nervous ORR
gin, in which case the head should be kept
cool by cold applications and the feet warm
by hot foot baths; also massage the limbs
and back and give tepid baths daily.
Sometimes headaches are hereditary, and
poison of the blood may cause them, aris-
Ing from being born of equity or rheumatic
or scrofulous parents.
Sea air and sea bathing are recommended
for such children, and let them out of doors
all they can. Too little blood and too little
fresh air cause many headaches. Good
food and gentle exercise will correct this in
time.
Blows on the head or injury of any kind
will produce pain in the head when of
course rest is the medicine required, with

Famous Flowers.

The latest fad in England is flowers
grown from bulbs procured from the bat
tlefields of South Africa. A firm at Little
hampton makes a speciality Of this. and
has recently done quite big business In
specially selected bulbs imported from the
veldt, kloof and kop1e.. Itfwas novel idea,
and the firm was soon making up collec-
tions as fast as It's staff could work-conec-
lions of bulbs guaranteed to have been
gathered on Spion Kop, Magersfontein, CO.
lenso. Elandslaagte and nFany other famous
battlefields. The same idea has been taken
up In America, plants from famous battle
fields of the civil and Spanish American
wars having been collected by several wo-
men who have had special opportunities of
gratifying their taste for flowers.

The majority of headaches in children are
caused by bad air in bed rooms and school
rooms and faulty diet at home. Correct
these and usually the headaches will dis
appear.
Four hours is the, limit of time child
should go without food during the day.
Don't go to the other extreme, however,
and let them have bites at all hours of
the day. Meals at regular intervals and
nothing in between should be a rule rigidly
kept.
Never let the children's bed be pushed
against the wall at night or back in an al
cove. There should be a free current of air
all round If you want them to grow up
healthy and strong. The window should
never be shut, and wide open one, even In

silk kDotted nets and lace incrusted crepe de
chimes that are everywhere strong in favor.
Each one of the gowns made of such ma
terials lie long upon the floor, but from hip
to heel the fabric must drop quite straight,
and to accomplish this perpendicularity of
line the willy dressmaker lines the clinging
materials on the limpeSt florence silk or
makes a foundation petticoat of nothing
more stable than four thicknesses of chif-
fon.
Meanwhile of an evening our waists grow
longer and longer. This is due to the
tonshing evening corsets. They made,
those of the very last French pattern, in
two pieces. The corset proper is hardly
more than q perfectly straight fronted,
heavily boned extra long hipped girdle.
Powerful elastic hose supporters are APP
piled in order to drag this grdle down over
the abdomen as far as it can go, and the
unconffned bust is held firm by a slightly
boned but close buttoning corset cover that
does not extend so far as the waist line.
Provided with these aids to beauty the
average swell young American woman
presents an appearance of almost ethereal
slendcrnesS when arrayed in her white
evening gown.
Tucked Toilets.
The history of tucks has yet to be written
and the story of their vogue and variations
is sure to fill a fat volume. Next in order
of popularity after white comes the pale
ecru, cafe la creme and delicate bisque
, null, batiste, chiffon and liberty silk gown.
This is always tucked, and often from the
shoulder to the tip of the extensive train.
The gauzy, tawny goods is cast upon a silk
petticoat of color and the tucks and insets
of lace give all the variety and decoration
desired. The tuckings know no law, and
she whose gowns surface is pinched in the
most various and impossible crinkles has
reached the topmoSt notch Of snartness.
Tiny tucks ray out from inset lace medal
lions or describe ever widening circles about
a wreath of lace; tucks run in a plaid or
diamond figure all over skirt, those
that alternate one wide tuck with six of
the narrowest possible pinchings are among
the newest inventions of the hour.

very happily set off. in many instances,
with treatments of black baby velvet rib

one that with little trouble to the maker
brings out in all its perfection the luscious

taste; break over them the whites of three
eggs without beating and freeze. Raspber-
ries may be used in the same way. A house
