stimulants and Nerves.

The canteen is defended by medical
authorities and by leading army Off
GERS. and opposed mainly by people to
whom temperance is a matter less of
scientific than of Semi-religious
thought; and the army canteen is the
only national temperance issue at pres
ent although states and towns are ex-
perimenting with various aspects of
prohibition and license. We have just
been reading some Italian statistics
which undertake to show that children
with nervous diseases are usually the
issue of parents who drink. The statis-
children whom he examined were b.
normal nervously, a fact which he at
tributed in part to the stress OF mod
ern life, but more especially to SClInu-
lants taken by the parents. and among
stimulants primarily alcohol. Facts, as
he remarks, are more eloquent than
DemoSthenes and he is satisfied that
the facts connect drinking with the
nervous diseases which he deems pecu-
liar to our times. Actually the evidence
about the effects of stimulants in mod
Grafton is still insufficient. That drink
is a frightful evil nobody denies
Whether to the temperate nature slim
ulants in general. coffee tea, liquor,
tobacco, are good or evil, is far from

rush, in the center of excitement, ap-
parently live as long as their relatives
in the country, and are as likely to be
healthy. Nervous diseases may be less
the product of modern haste than the
discovery of modern science. We are
all the time discovering new diseases.
and all the time the death rate grows
less. We live longer as we understand
more. While it is clear therefore. that
stimulants of any kind are dangerous,
it is not clear that nervous diseases
are more frequent than they were be-

many thousands of women during third
of a century speak louder than mere
claims not backed by a guarantee Of
some kind. That is the reason why the
proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription are willing to offer $500 re-
ward for women who cannot be cured.
Such a remarkable offer is founded on
the long record of cures of the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women Il
there is an invalid woman, suffering from
female weakness, prolapsus, or falling
of womb, or from 1eucorrhea, who has
used DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
without complete success, the original
proprietors and makers of that world
famed medicine would like to hear from
such person-and it will be to her advan-
taee to write them as they offer, in per-
feet good faith, reward of $500 for any
case of the above nialadies which they
cannot cure No other medicine foe
won1an's ills is possessed of the unper-
alle1ed curative properties that would
warrant its makers in publishing such
an offer.

FOR FABLE DECORATIONS.
Japanese supper was arranged as follows:
The cloth WIS of soft, silky linen, beau
embroidered. In the center of the
table a pot of sand was hidden by
mound of shaded yellow and brown mas
turtiums. Standing upright in the pot of
sand was Japanese umbrella. The lights
were screened with Japanese shades and
lanterns and small banners were hung
about the ceiling and walls. The candle
sticks were of bronze with Japanese
shades. and the table was set with dainty
china of Japanese designs. The favors
were curious little lacquered boxes, tiny
pots OF flowers and oriental trinkets. One
could follow more closely the Japanese
custom OF serving the meal, but it would
entail considerable expense to get the
necessary equipment If you desired to
serve in the red-lacQuered trays supported
the numerous dainty bowls and plates.
Fill small Japanese trays or baskets
with c2ndied ginger, candied orange peel,
Japanese nuts and sweets. Also serve
their sweet chou-chou for a relish.
OF viands for the preparation of jap
anese supper you may use almost any
kind of fish, crabs and Holsters, rice,
duck, small birds, mushrooms, oranges,
grapes, plums, figs, persfmmons and nuts.
The beverages used are a Japanese

A mothers worries are many. She
sometimes forgets her own bodily dis
comforts because of her overpowerirg
love for the child. She becomes broken
down, s1eepless, nervous, irritable and
feels tired from moAaing until night.
Many mothers of experience can tell you
that at such a time they have been re-
lieved, benefited and strengthened and
put into proper health by taking pre-
ecription which their mothers had told
them was the only woman's tonic to be
taken at such times. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has enjoyed an envi-
able reputation for over third of cen
tury. In all that time it has sold more
largely in the United States than any
other tonic for won1an's needs, and to-
day its sales are greater than ever. DR..
Pierce made up this prescription from
roots and herbs without the use of a
particle of alcohol or narcotic and for
the single purpose of curing those dis
eases peculiar to women and when there
is a lack of wou1anly strength to bear
the burdens of maternal duty. How
few women come to this critical time
with adequate strength. The reason
why so many women sink under the
strain of motherhood is because they
are unprepared. Is preparation then re-
woman And every experienced mother
answers-cYes." vI unheatatingly ad-
wise expectant mothers to use DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, /" writes Mrs. J. w.
G. Stephens, of Mia, Va. The reason for
this advice is that DR.. Pierces Favorite
Prescription is the best preparative for
the maternal function. No matter how
healthy and strong woman may be, she
cannot use wFavorite Prescription as a
preparative for maternity without gain
of health and comfort. But it is the
women who are not strong who best APP
preciate the great benefits received from
the use of UFavorite Prescription" For
one thing its use makes the baby s

The breathing spell of sensible skirts
for street and informal wear is in at
present and women are making the
most of it.
If you are contemplating the pur-
chase of a new evening cloak and are
tired of the regulation white cloth, lace
or fur trimmed why not have one of
the fad for all things japanese has
brought into high favor this winter.
These mantles are built exactly on the
lines of the kimona as we have had it
the heaviest japanese silks, richly en-
broidered and lined with contrasting
shades are employed in their making.
OF course such a garment does not do
for all purposes as a white cloth or vel
vet will. 1t is essentially an evening
wrap and not suitable for afternoon
carriage wear nor for the theater. 1t is
especially pretty for a youthful wearer.
Several pretty model gowns in light
weight woollen fabrics and cloth are
made with lace waists, either white or
dyed to match the gown. The waist is
trimmed with the cloth cut in strips,
patterns, or stitched bands. A wood
brown wolfe skirt is worn with a blouse
of deep cream lace, appliqued over the
lower part with Greek fret design of
the cloth. The upper part is untrirn-
med, as are the full sleeves. The col
lar and cuffs have strips of cloth over
the lace. Another, French gown, is Of
gray velours, the skirt laid in shallow
box plaits with wide spaces between.
There is a blouse of white Irish lace
which is connected, as it were, with the
skirt by having pointed strips of the
velours extending three inches towards
the bust, and as far below the waist.
A narrow belt confines these tabs,
which are finished on either end with a
small brass button. A sailor collar
made of the tabs Joined together has
tie of black satin. The lace sleeves are
full and have cuffs Of alternate bands
Of lace and velours.
A blue Henrietta skirt is finished
around the hem with three graduated
tucks The blouse of dyed blue lace is
covered with round wafer spots of the
cloth edged with the tiniest piping of
blue chiffon velvet. There is a high
girdle of the velvet.
In the matter of small but important
accessories of dress, the new washable
gloves are cordially endorsed They
come in all colors as we'll as white and
cost $125. They are real kid and are
well shaped. The washing is a simple
fa1id water white soap. and
