rather plain in design, its sole trim

sleeves, though tight to the elbows had
hanging bell pieces of tucked t~affeta,
edged with pompadour ribbon, with an
undersleeye of net and lace, which

similar to a fashion which prevailed to
a large extent several seasons ago.
There never was such a season for
lace-real lace, of course, for prefer
cry of all the new summe models.
There is scarcely a costume, outdoor
or otherwise, but what boasts il as a
trimming. Venetian point, the Renais-
sance, and various coarse makes of
lace are all much in demand. As for
coarse guipures there is a perfect fu-
rore for them, notwithstanding the eff
forts of a few fashionable dressmakers
to introduce a finer make.
As a matter of fact, there need never
be any particular style of lace more

BEWARE OF THE PHAGocYTE
Lfttle-knOwn But Much-Dreaded
Creature That Frequents the
Human Body.

"The hope of mankind" says
Metschnikow, depends upon the
proper restriction of the phagoctyte."
Very few non~professional men
know what a phagocyte is, and even
numerous physicians try to get along
without having made its acquaintance,
while most medical handbooks ignore
the thing, and the few dictionaries
mentioning it describe it wrongly.
Here is Prof. Metschnikow's defini-
ton: "Phagocytes constitute the po-
lice of the human body. AS a big
city canno get along without officers
of the law to keep crime and vice I'M
der control and the moral atmos-
phere pure and wholesome, so health
is impossible unless the phagocytes
exercise their proper functions in the
streets and channels of our interior.
"Phago means eat, devour, absorb;
cyte is the Greek for cell. The phago-
cyte, then, is an absorbing or eating
cell; one might term it the s~cavenger
of the human body. So much science
recognized long ago; also that its
main food consists of bacteria, the
elements of organs peculiar to the
larvae stage and other noxious mat
ters."
The author continues, according to
the Indianapolis Journal: The
above, my biological and bacteriolog-
zeal Investigations and experiments
proved correct, but sciences further
argument, namely, that n phago-
cyte, after performing this most i'm
portant Office for the youthful body,
becomes itself food for the develop
ing organ of the adult is a serious
mistake"

DALLAS WAS WISE
People Were Not Influenced by Argue

Mondays oregonian.

Plans and specifications for a
gravity system Of water supply for
the town Of McMinnville are being
prepared by w. B. Chase, formerly
City Engineer Of Portland. McAinn-
ville's water supply has been obtained
by pumping from the Yamhill river,
few miles above the town, but the
citizens desire to emulate Portland
and procure water from mountain
stream at point above all sources of
contamination. Mr. Chase has been
up to McMinnville several times look
ing over the situation, and has found
that by going up Baker Greek, a
distance Of about nine miles bounti-
full supply of water, equal to that Of
Bull Run, can be secured, at an
elevation Of about 400 feet, which will
furnish pressure adequate for fire
protection. The estimated cost of
bringing this water into the city is be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 The citizens
will have to vote on the question Of
issuing bonds for the amount re-
quired, and if it is decided to do this,
McMinnville will have before long as
fine supply of water as can be de-
sired. Other towns in the Willamette
are considering the matter Of intro
ducing a gravity system of water
supply.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE
Mrs. Nancy Thompson Dies From
Effects of Paralytic Stroke.

Mrs. Nancy Thompson, widow of
the late Milton Thompson, died at her
home in this city, Monday, September
IA, 1908, aged rs years. She had been
enjoying fairly good health for a per-
son of her advanced age, until some
time in the day Sunday, when she
suffered a severe stroke of paralysis.
She was alone in the house at the
time, but was able to reach her bed,
where her daughter Martha found her
short time later. Medical aid was
summoned, but all efforts to arouse
her from the stupor into which she
had fallen were unavailing, and her
death followed few hours later.
Mrs. Thompson was daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William B. Lewis, an
honored pioneer family of Polk
County, and was born in the state of
Missouri. She crossed the plains in
1852, and was married to Milton
Thompson in 1855. Her husband and
two sons preceded her to the spirit
world. Her surviving children are
Mrs. Jane Stint, of Portland; Mrs.
Ida Woodward, Miss Martha Thomp-
son and Vincent Thompson, of Dallas.
She was half-sister of J. W. Lewis,
secretary of the Polk County Pioneer
Association.
She was kind, Christian woman,
and enjoyed the respect of her
neighbors. Her children provided
we'll for her, and her declining years
were spent in peace and comfort. Her
death marks the passing of another
Of Polk County's honored pioneer
women.

A Purgative Pleasure.

If you ever took DeWitt's Little
Early Risers for biliousness or consti-
patton you know what purgative
pleasure is. The famous little pills
cleanse the liver and rid the system of
all bile without producing unpleasant
effects. They do not gripe, sicken or
weaken, but give tone and strength to
the tissues and organs involved.
