1.-THE LITTLE HOMESTEAD. .

Theater goers will anXiously await the coming of "The Little Homestead" to the Newport opera house on Thursday even- ing. The play introduces hap py little home in a New England village, broken up through the desire for revenge upon the young husband. It tells of a blind infatuation which leads the wife to forget her VOWS and depicts the sorrow and remorse consequent. The ultimate tri- umph of right, though too late to atone fully for the past, points to a healthy moral. The play, and company are among the best on the road this season. The author of "The Little Home stead" is w. B. Patton, whose play The Ministers Son" has been an unequaled success.

two or three seasons ago If the Wo-

seasons OF the most persistent and IN
sidlous attempts to win the favor OF

and for long trailing skirts designed
for house wear the gathered. pleated

For one thing they are not suited to

Lace draaeries and wells are the
most conspicuous feature of the milli-

fine webs droop over the brow, trails

and yards of gauze sWathe the entire
head and depend in long loops and
ends over the bodice. The summer girl
of 1904 gill outveil her yelled sister
of the Orient. Ever since, several sea-
sons ago, the American visitor to Lon
don and Paris began to drape her hats
with wells. the European has derlded
the practice as a senseiess fad and
only another evidence of American
poor taste in dress But lOi 1t is the
important models that are the most
deliberately swathed in gauze and nets
in the spring openings. The European
has awakened to the fact that wells
are not only graceful and becoming,
but convenient as we'll SO the Vel

the American woman introduced it as
a vogue.
The automobile is responsible for
many fads. one of the latest is an
elongation of the already long auto

There is a variety of very thin crepe

chiffon is the principal fabric for long

yet received the sanction of good So

The mode of wearing the seven yard
veil is important. It is gathered in a

should ask is, What is wrong with my
stomach ?" If there are weak lungs,
the condition also points to vweak
stomach. All physicians know that the
cure of consumption is but question of
nutrition. If you can put flesh and fat
on the body the lungs will take care
of themselves. The one thing which
battles the physician in the cure of lung
and other diseases is weak stomach.
If the stomach was strong he'd feel sure
OF cure. In fact, then, any condition
OF physical weakness at once suggests
weak stomach. When the stomach is
made strong, the whole body regains
strength and every organ of the body,
heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, ETC., shares
IN this newly gained strength.
1t is because Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
zeal Discovery cures diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition that it gives strength to
the whole body. When the weak ston-
ach IS made strong by Golden Medical
Discovery" then food is perfectly di-
gested and assi1nilated, the nutrition
derived from food is distributed to the
several organs of the body, and the
"weak" heart which was weak because
1t was not we'll fed becomes strong
again. So with the weakness of the
other organs of the body, it is cured
when the stomach is cured.

bottles of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery has cured my husband of liver
complaint and indigestion, +" writes Mrs.
G. Hall, of Novar, Ontario. vHe suf-

The shirt waist suit Of organdie
null and other novelty. SUMMER goods
including the linen batistes and the
delicate muslins, are made with a deep
Shirred fOunce. This dounce is not
gathered nor tucked, but is shirred
with a fine shirring and is very full
indeed. To make this shirring very eI-
fective a deep hem is sometimes made
in the top and a shirr string is run
through. Another shirring is placed
three inches below the top one, and
still another. In this manner deep
heading is formed, while the fiounce
is very full below it.
The palmer suits, the linens, the
canvasses and the other substantial
goods are made with many gored
skirt, plain and finished with a deep
hem. The skirt is well shaped and
there is the inevitable fla around the
foot without which no skirt is COM
plete.
Other skirts are trimmed with bias
bands of the material, and still others
are trimmed with stitched strappings
of the goods, while others are trimmed
with latticed bands. There are hand
some linen skirts that are decorated
with stitched panels, with Jokes out
lined with strappings and with a deep
flounce like piece, with a stitched band
at the top.
Quite a large percentage of the linen
suits show inlets of heavy lace, with
delicate wash embroidery outlining the
lace. The number of linen gowns
trimmed with lace is constantly on the
increase. and the trim and neat linen
gown which was so necessary a fea-
ture of the wardrobe threatens to dis
appear utterly.
The linen coat is thrown in with the
summer wardrobe. This coat is cut
straight and is trimmed with lace. 1t
is made with wide sleeves and there is
some fullness across the back A coat
of linen is washable and should be
trimmed with linen lace But,aside from
the material there is nothing ordinary
about the coat for it is cut on the

And here are automobile shirt waist
suits. These consist of a linen skirt,
beautifully shaped and of walking
/ length The skirt is trimmed with
strapped and stitched bands. With TINS
skirt there is an automobile coat OF
/ the same material usally of linen, with
straDpings and with wide sleeves. The
/ sleeves and collar are more elaborately
/ trimmed than is customary with auto
mobile coats, for they are bordered
with wide lace and are trimmed with
neat. compact trimmings, such as hard
French knots, buttons, wheel stltcn

PHILIPPINE RAILWAYS.

The desirability of system of railways
in the Philippines is beyond all question.
The profitable operation of such system,
from a strictly commercial point of view,
is, for the immediate future, exceedingly
doubtful. Railway construction may be
said TO operate in two directions-it may
provide transportation in response to an
existing need for improved facilities. or
it may create traffic by opening fruitful
but undeveloped areas. The Philippine
lines would undoubtedly belong to the
latter class
Up to a certain point there is a parallel
between railway enterprise in the Phil
ippines and in Japan. The tOpOgrap hical
conditions are generally similar. There is
the same mountainous interior with its
areas of potential fruitfulness. bOrdered
by a coast strip of generally greater pro-
ductive capacity. Japan's four thousand
miles of railway lines are in prosperous
condition, with traffic and passenger
rates which are not prohibitory to even
the poorer classes. 1t Is true that ia

It IS proverb of Japan that healthy

japanese as a people are remarkable for
their health, endurance, patience and

training which is universally used. 1t
Is called the Jiu Jitzu, and by this
they regulate diet, bathing, clothing,
breathing, muscular development and
boxing.

If a man has insufficient food he

in the stomach. It depends on the
strength of the stomach to what extent
food eaten IS digested and assiinilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach is really the vital
organ of the body. If the stomach IS
Nweak the body will be weak also.
beoause it is upon the stomach the BODY
