only some are not so very quiet this

many are of a fancifulness that de-

Some are inset with long, elliptical

Some are embroidered with stately

Some are dotted with little rosebuds

carbon; when they are burnt in the
body they give great warmth.
No Intoxicating drink contains the
smallest quantity Of fat.
Alcohol sends the blood into the
skin, and so lets the heat out Of the
body.
Alcohol prevents the oxygen doing
its duty, thus the carbon in the blood
is not burnt up in the way it should be.
3. Don't believe that intoxicating
drinks will help TO digest food.
All food must become soft and liquid
like Cruel before it can become blood,
and so cause the body to grow, and be
DIT to do its work.
Alcohol softens those substances
which are not fit for food, such as
gum.
Alcohol hardens those substances
which are fit for food; bread, fruit,
meat, sugar, all become harder when
placed in alcohol.
There is no alcohol in any OF the
foods God sends us, but there is plenty
of water. There is no alcohol in any
of the liquids which soften the food
Of the body. The saliva in the mouth,
the gastric juice in the stomach, the
bile coming from the liver, and the
other digestive liquids are nearly all
water.
On these three points you may exer-
else your disbelief. Don't believe that
alcohol will make you strong, that it
can give you warmth, or that it can
help to digest your food.-National Ad-
vocate.

Arthur Stansfeld was a strange boy
IN some respects. When any informa-
tion was given him that he could not
easily understand, he would reply
81 don't believe it." II his father said
that the sun was a great ball Of fire
over 100000 miles away, he would
reply: 81 don't believe it," and if
his mother reminded him that in Aus
tralia the sun shines when we in Eng
land are fast asleep in our beds, he
would shake his head, saying: "Idon't
believe it," And so it was that he got

his want Of belief caused much fun.
Now, there is no harm in seeking
TO find out the truth Of what we are
told; the child who reads to learn,
and seeks to find out the truth, is act
ing rightly, and will get good by so
doing.
Now, there are three reasons given
for the drinking Of intoxicating
drinks, about which l want you 10 BE-
very doubtful.
l. Don't believe that intoxicating
drinks will make you strong.
The strongest animals in the world
do not need intoxicating drinks; the
lion, the tiger and the elephant are all
teetOtalers.
There are millions Of people in the
world who live long lives and do much
hard work without the use Of intoNi-
eating drinks.
The chemist cannot find any food
substances in intoxicating drinks such
as he can in milk upon which the body
can grow.
2. Don't believe that Intoxicating
drinks can make the body warm.
The body is kept warm by the burn
ing of carbon in the body, this carbon
being burnt up by ;he oxygen Of the
air.

Drunken Women I'm Ottawn.

Intemperance among women and
girl prisoners in Ottawa, the capital Of
Canada, has increased to the alarm
ing extent Of IS per cent. Of all fe-
males. In many cases women Of about
the age Of 20 have been imprisoned for
drunkenness or crimes committed
while drunk. The attempts thus far to
check the evil have proved failures. In
view Of the circumstances, the Cam
adian government has been petitioned
to establish cottage homes in Ottawa
for inebriate women. The autherity
for this account is the New York Ned
ical Journal. But we need not 60 to
Canada for such a spectacle, for in
temperance among women increases
in all our large cities, and these dam
gerous drinking usages are creeping
into families which a generation ago
were firmly total abstinence in their
principles.

Slopin6 Shoulder Is in Vogue

Now take me ends in hand and see
saw them across the back Of the neck
continually.
This is fine exercise, but as soon as
the girl athlete can manage IL she must
try not to touch her neck with the
handkerchief. She must hold her arms
behind her head, but the handkerchief
must not touch the neck. There is
certain shoulder exercise to be OBJ
tained in this manner which Is very
refreshing.
Another exercise is TO take the
handkerchief by one end and fling it
around her head. In the loose end she
must tie a weight. and thus, with the
handkerchief in her hand, she sits and
filings it to the breezes. This waving
exercise is good practice for the shoul-
ders and it gives them a certain poise
and agility, so to speak, which will
prove very useful in the search for
sloping shoulders.
Carrying dumb-bells in the hands
has also been recommended. But this
is tiresome. 1t does the work, but one
becomes weary. The dumb-bells which
are heavy are merely carried about,
not swung, the object being to exert
a pull upon the arms and the shoul-
ders.
Rowing is one way to make the shoul-
ders slope. The one who is exercising
must take the rowing position. This
as nearly everyone knows, is a sitting
one. with the knees slightly bent and
the arms out. In the absence Of a
pair Of oars one can grasp the table
legs or any other firm support for the
arms. The game is to pull long, long
pull and strong, strong pull, but not
long enough or strong enough to in
jure the back.
A continuation of such exercises as
these will in time give curve to prae-
tically any pair Of square shoulders.

s,orv Of n Strange Passport.

The passport regulations Of Russia
are absurd, as was shown by journal
ist. Prince Metchersky, who was sent
by the car to make Investigations.
He crossed to Rumania, and purposely
obtained a permit to take live stock
over the border. At the Russian
frontier the official could read no Ru-
manian and little Russian, but he was
impressed by the official paper, and let
the prince pass. When Prince Metcher-
sky returned TO Moscow, he presented
the document 20 the governor. This
is nv passport" he said. 81 Travelled
for five months in Russia on the au-
thority Of this document, but the
identification is neither fattering nor
true" The governor took the paper,
and found the prince there described
as "black sow, full grown. with one
ear partly torn away"

picturesque extravaganza is reflected
in footgear as in all other details Of
wOman's dress.
There is no real change in the high
walking shoe The styles that have
found favor still hold their own.
Neither do ties for street wear vary in
any marked degree from those that
have been popular.
The rage for walking slippers which
started last spring with the Colonial
slipper is undated, but the Colonial
has rivals for street use in the sandal
and an entirely new patent leather
slipper which has a seam right up the
middle of the yamp front and fastens
over the vamp with heavy gilt buckle.
1t has the high French heel, not the
military heel, and though it is not
very sensible slipper for walking is
nevertheless used for that purpose.
Tan will be the favorite color for
outing shoes. Whtn the russet shoe
lost prestige the year before last, the
calfskin in no sense took its place for
comfort. Nothing can be so cool and
pleasant for a summer hard-worked
shoe than the tan leather.
High tan shoes will be extensively
worn. for although they are not so
fetching as the ties or the Colonial
and sandal slippers, they are preferred
by many, as they shield the ankle. A

more enduring Importance than the
Easter hat, for the lack Of the latter
may be forgotten, but a lack OF the
former is ever present.
TO be perfect the shoulder must
slope. Not made to slope by the use
of artificial pads introduced into ones
gown, but slope naturally so that per
lection may be displayed with the low
cut evening gown. For the woman
to whom nature has given a pair OF
square shoulders there is much hard
work and much self-denial if she
would acquire the curve that 10 pro-
nounced ideal.
The sloping shoulder takes us back
TO the modes Of 1880, when the sleeve
cap was fitted to the shoulder and
when my lady appeared very long Of
neck. The shoulder seams were in
those days cut very low to give that
slope, which was then considered a
line of much beauty.
The beauty expert has solved the
problem of sloping shoulders without
the aid Of the modiste and these are
some Of the suggestions she offers for
accomplishing this much to be de-
sired result:
Take up your stand in front Of the
mirror and throw out your chest.
Take a deep breath, and as you do so
trv to lower your shoulders. Pull
them down. so to speak, until, instead
Of standing out square and warlike
they are curved and pretty.
You cannot make them wholly slop-
ing at the first trial, but you can do
something for them. You can slope
them a little. Draw the abdomen in.
throw the upper part Of the chest out
ms far as you can. Now, with mighty
effort pull down the shoulders, throw
ing them back at the same time.
