MARIAN MARINES LATEST
COSTUMES FOR MILADY.


A stunning costume, worn by one Of
New York's most popular women,
VINO, tired of the restless surge OF
Newport life, embarked on this
charming trip, was composed of rich
golden brown raw silk The skirt,
which dainty escaped the ground by
two inches, was cut In five cores, but
possessed the distinguishing feature
of being iuwardly box plated from
thu top one of three tour-inch tucks
alternated with spaces of the same
width.
Another outing costume, which is
illustrated for you, is of natural
rolored light weight silk of medium
weight, shirred at the top around the
hips aud back, with which is worn
shirred and bloused coat, ending in
pointed silk girdle. The gown is
handsomely trimmed In bands Of
Persian embroidery, row of which
adorns the bottom of the skirt.
PARTICULARLY necessary with the
girdle is a well cut corset. Graceful
and stylish a woman is sure to appear
in properly modelled. corset, and as
good models of the best makers, such
as the C-B la Spirite, come In
prices to suit every purse. there is
no excuse for woman presenting a
dowdy figure, and thus soiling the
Of her gown.
Neatness and t1gness which gives
a woman the appearance of being
" well-groomed" is within the means
of all, and happily our clever Ameri-
can women give MS little to complain
of on that score.

Decide What You Will Do.

An engineer who starts to build a
bridge and then keeps on finding bet
ter places to put up his piers. and Won
dering whether he has selected the best
location or not, will never get the bridge
across the river. He must decide, then
go ahead and build the bridge no mat
ter what obstacle he may strike. So it
is with the builder of character. He
must decide finally what he will do,
and then make for his goal, refusing to
look back OF be moved from his course.
Tens of thousands of young people with
good health, good education and good
ability, are standing On the end of a
bridge, at life's crossing. They hope
they are on the right way. They think
they are doing the right thing, and yet
they do not dare to burn the bridge
they have Just crossed. They want a
chance for retreat in case they have
made a mistake. They cannot bear
the thought of cutting off all possibility
of turning back. They lack the power
to'decide conclusively what course they
will take--O. S. Marden in the August

then at the every hour on the same
day Of the month and year Mr.. Catlett
has return OF the poisonous effects
and goes through the same intense
suffering, lasting several days The only
thing that has any effect to quiet the
pain is whisky and every year, just

affection. Mr. CatIett, anticipating
the result. is forced to resort to take
whiskey to counteract the effects of
the poison. --LaRue County Herald.

Found in the Soil.

The following brief facts are boiled
down from an article by Prof G. q.
Hopkins, Of the Illinois College Of
Agriculture, on Fertility of the
Soil. -
Different types of soil produce
different crop yields under the same
conditions.
Soils side by side, 0sut cultivated
differently for term of years, pi oduce
very different yields.
The same soil differs at different
times according to Its cultivation and
another treatment and lack of treat
ment.
One soil y IL produce twenty bushels
of corn; another forty bushels an
other eighty bushels.
One soil is worth $50 an acre
another 800 per acre; another 5000
per acre, largely because Of their
difference in fertility or productive
capacity.
DOAl Cnu 10 run OOWu.
Soil can De improved
The fertility of the soil can he

know soils and be able to improve
them.
The study of soils is vitality con-
nected with proht and prosperity
in farming. the greatest industry in
Illinois.
Neither live stock. nor clover, or
both together will maintain the
fertility of the soil.
The only way: Preserve good
physical conditions and then put
back upon the land all of the fertility
which is taken off.
While there are ten essentials Of
plant food, seven of them are
usually suppliea in abundance. hE's
nitrogen. PHOSPHORUS and potassium
are rather limited in most soils. SO
the study of fertility Is practically
reduced to the study of these three.
