Soft Tanataa.

Soft taffetas are again coming into
vogue for evening as well as day
wear. Rose color is a favorIte shade
just now in Paris, absolutely smoth-
cred with lace. Yak silk fringe and
chenille form popular trimming for
pastel cloth frocks. Pale blue and
whity-brown shades are really pretty,
but can only be worn by women with
some pretension to chic, otherwise the
effect is somber and even dowdy.

The balloting opened without much
spirit. At the end Of the first week
the count stood:
Miss Marjorie Traylor .........7
Miss Katherine OTmsby. C
Miss Maggie Hayward. ..........6
Miss Jessie Biggelowe. ..........1
That Marjorie Traylor led was no
surprise. The guess was general that
Katherine could keep up the pace
AS to Miss Hayward, some were un.
kind enough TO suspect that her pupils
would be constrained by policy to
throw their votes her way-iust as
they took her the biggest red straw
berries. AT the bottom of the list

not known; some country girl with
a jealous lover, people surmised.

The Stomach is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the
man, because it cannot transform
the food he eats into nourish-
ment. Health and strength can
not be restored to any sick man
or weak woman without first re-
storing health and strength to the
stomach. A weak stomach cannot
digest enough food to feed the
tissues and revive the tired and
run down limbs and organs of the
body. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure di-
gests what you eat, cleanses and
strengthens the glands and mem
branes of the stomach, and cures
indigestion, dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles. Sold by Opera

will not believe that a compact has
been entered into between the Repub-
lican leaders and the Mormon HER

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..

At the present time some of the

cure their water supplies from the
Ohio, complain that the water is
running low and causing much in
convenience. This is a matter
which is destined to become more
serious each year, in the large cit
les that border on the Ohio river,
during long continued drought
periods. The expert engineers
must devise some plan which will
permanently do away with water
famines. 1t should be remember
ed that this is an age of wise men,

To arrange the new veil prop
erty first place the lower edge of
the veil at the point of the chin,
then, drawing it up to the hat
brim, pin it securely right in the
center. After that bring the two
ends together and fasten them di-
rectly on the top of the crown of
the hat. If fastened at the back
there will be billowy folds all
about the sides which will be diff
cult to dispose of neatly. The
idea is to place the knot directly
in the center of the crown. When
this is done it is necessary to use
two or more pins, one at either
side of the hat brifh, just over the
ears. After the various pinnings
and placings the last act is to
draw down the veil at the chin
and make a little smiling face at
yourelf in the mirror. All women
do this. Why? Nobody knows,
not even girls themselves. If Eve
wore wells she did it, too. Any
way, it is something that must be
done because all women do it.

Griffith as Macbeth. u

1t is claimed by the manage
ment of John Griffith that he is
the most forceful, majestic and
convincing tragedian of the day,
and he is presented to intelligent
theater-goers as the legitimate
successor of the peerless Edwin
Forrest. In the character of
Macbeth he has reused vast aud
fences to great enthusiasm and
been accorded a degree of praise
by hypercritical critics that is at
least unusual. Macbeth" is a
fascinating play and is considered
by many students of Shakespeare
to be the greatest tragedy OF the
great master Of dramatic litera-
ture. 1t is but seldom seen by
theater-goers for the reason of the
difficulty there is in giving it ade-
quate representation. 1t isn't an
easy matter to always get such
great actors as John Griffith and
his associated artists for its too
infrequent revivals. But it is put
on the road this season with every
advantage. In addition to the
matchless star and company there
are mechanical and chemical illus
ions, new fre-proof scenery, cleo
trical effects and no end of detail
that will assure not only perfect
but a thrilling performance when
