Peter w. Fox visited the

bakery. Martin McDermott,
the we'll known logger is in
charge of about 500 men, who
are employed in three big cam ps

big logging that has seldom been
equaled. Thomas McDermott
also occupies a prominent posi-
ton on the work. They already
have in something like twenty
three million feet of logs, and ex-
pect to put in an additional ten
million feet. The logs are hauled
a short distance and loaded on
the cars and taken over the
Northern Pacific to the Hines
mill at West Superior, where
they will be sawed into lumber
during the coming season. Mr.
Fox says that McDermott is one
of the greatest whirl- winds that
is in the logging camps of the
northwest, and at the same time
Pete speaks in the highest terms
of the clerks. while he is profuse
in the praises Of the cooks, whom

GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con.
tribute TO health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
OF those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing TO overwork, worry, household cares,
ana an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili.

In the federal court at Hannibal few
days ago in way unusual among law
yers-by silence. Mrs. Martha b
Phipps OF Macon sued the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railway compa-
ny for $4,000. She claimed that a
spark from one of its engines caused
the burning of her deceased husbands

mony showed that the Santa Fe train
stopped at Ethel four minutes the night
OF the fire, but also that the fire was
we'll under way before the train pulled
out. and the roads attorneys argued
that IL was ridiculous TO maintain that
fire could be started by spark and
get well under way in such n short

Tan DuiIdinSs aad Nerves.

The result of carelcssness in running
elevators is plainly shown in tile fol-
lowing item from Good Health: There
is no need OF those sudden stops OF n
flying elevator, and its effect upon peo-
pie with any sort of heart trouble is
dangerous In the extreme. When il
comes TO facilities for increasing the
army of nervous people, 1t is n mistake
TO give the palm 10 the electric trolley
car, the automobile or the elevated
trains. The tall sky scraper building
OF the big cities is close competitor
of all these in the manufacture of
nervous wrecks. Not one woman in n
hundred can step into n swift flying

nerves of men. They become accus-
toned TO the sensation OF being drop-

against its wear and tear, but their
nerves are not. There is gradual,
unconscious breaking down of the

How She Aprears When Fully At
tireI Tor the ballroom.
In describing the costume of n Fill
pino belle one esins naturally ut the
siippered feet and works toward the
diamond decked hair. The first thing
is the media, or long stocking, usually
OF silk and often beautifully cmbroid-
cred about the foot and ankle. the en-
broidery being plainly seen because of
the low topped, heelless chinelas, or
slippers, usually worn. which are also
often beautifully embroidered on the
top. Then comes the vestida. the long
train dress, fastened by band at the
waist and usually allowed to trail at
the left side. When caught up out OF
the way, il Is passed across the front
of the body and fastened to the belt on
the right side. This vestida is made of
silk, satin or velvet, very rich, and as
the Spanish taste for red, yellow and
black is shared by the Filipino the
floor of ballroom while bale is in
progress is more or less of n poem in
those colors. with occasional hints of
blue and green. Usually these ball and
dinner vestidas are elegantly and ex-
pensively hand embroidered in silk, as
much as $500 TO $1,000 being often the
cost of a single dress skirt.
The next garment is the camiseta,
which performs the function of the
American shirt waist. 1t surrounds
the underclothing that infolds the up
per portion of the body, having low
neck, but not cut decollete-no Filipino
woman would wear a decoIlete dress
and has very wide. short sleeves It
is made OF TIE beautiful thin pima
cloth, manufactured from the fiber of
the pineapple leaf. and is practically
transparent. The cloth Is sufficiently
st6 to cause the large sleeves to stand
out from the arms and shoulders and
not cling TO them. as silk and cotton
goods will do. and is therefore much
more suited TO the warm climate OF
the Philippines. This camiseta is also
usually embroidered extensively. some
times in white and sometimes in deli
cate tints.
The coalla, or collar. Is also made of
the thin. sif and extensively embroid-
cred pima cloth. 1t is about the size of
the small opera shawl worn in this
country and is folded and worn about
the shoulders and neck much in the
same way, the ends being crossed over
the bust and fastened there with 81
clasp of diamonds. The hair is care

Dyspepsia end nIrorce.

Bad cookery and slovenly housekeep-
ing were the direct causes OF 400 di-
vorces in the city OF Chicago last year.
This statement by the head OF the Chi

cry housewife in the land with n sub
ject for serious reflection.
During 1902. it appears, 400 deserted
wives who applied ut the bureau of
charities for assistance and later OBJ
tanned divorces admitted that they
could neither cook nor keep house. "
and of course they could not expect TO
keep husbands. .l
