BLACK and Colored Caters Promise to
Be Much Used the Coming
Season by Women.

The vogue for CATERS has been
noticeable feature of the exclusive
woman's wardrobe during the past few
months, and has prepared the way for
an unprecedented use of these coy
ankle protectors in the cool and damp
days of the coming spring and summer.
Remarkable colorings and contrasts to
the costume are presented by the new
cloth and leather CATERS, and the smart
touch which they add to a woman's ap-
pearance will vie with the most striking
get-up of the dandy. Fabric CATERS will
be worn during the summer months by
both men and women.
The smartest CATERS are those made
OF soft suede. Suede spats of golden
brown, which blend with many of the
nunberless shades of this extremely
fashionable color, look particularly
stunning below the hem of a brown
walking skirt With lavender and
bronze slippers white suede CATERS are
used for carriage wear, though suede
spats Of all colors can be had to match
the delicate footwear which Dame Fash
ion DEGREES must tone perfectly with the
frocF.
10 cloth spats, very light shade of
tan Is in high favor, and after the mud
OF the spring days, Miladi will be seen
In white and cream-colored CATERS. Ii
a girls allowance does not permit of
her having shoes to match each cos
tune, she wears over black Oxfords
coiored cloth spats which match her
frock. Cloth CATERS come in number
less shades of green, blue and brown.
and many women have CATERS made
from piece of each of their walking
suits.
Exquisite little CATERS of lace and
embroidery are a fad of the modish
woman. Charming real lace spats Gre
worn with all lace gowns, and some Of
them are inlaid with jewels. In fact,
this is new and favorite way for
wealthy women to wear costly gems,
the stones being securely fastened in
some rare lace.
With taffetas street suits are worn
taneta spats of the same color, and
hand embroidery, which will be asfea-
ture OF all tailored suits, is also used to
adorn this featherweight footwear.
Emerald blue spats have dainty gar
lands of blue forget-me-nots. and rough
silk in the natural tone is embroidered
with tiny flowers in a harmonizing
shade of brown. Corduroy CATERS Of
tan and blue and brown will be worn
with velvet suits in the first spring
days. Buttons for spats are large and
fiat, with dull finish, and are the same
color as the cloth or leather.
Pique CATERS in tan and white for
wear with Russia calf and white canvas
Oxfords will add another item to the
laundry bill Of the summer girl of 1905.
and the well-gowned woman this year
will have as many pairs of spats as she
has pairs of low shoes.-Louisville

HOME SUPPLIES.
A Georgia Farmer Who Raises
Things Talks About Low
Priced Cotton.

Il take the Cultivator and have fof
three years and like to read it and yet
am not able to farm after its teach
ings. l take several papers and have
read lot on the cotton question and
it is natural when there is a wrong,
every man seeks to justify himself and
that may be the case with me now, but
will ask your Judgment on that.
don't feel responsible for the low
price of cotton, for if the farmers in
the cotton belt had farmed like
have, l never would have had to sell
my cotton for less than ~ cents.
will give short sketch of it and ask
you what you think. I have made 81
crops; started with five cents and lost
it. but after the first crop have never
known what it meant to buy meat or
corn and in the last fifteen years have
raised meat enough to run almost
twice as large farm as / run, and
some corn to sell. But for fear some
one will say they can't raise meat for
the glory, / will say that / have lost
near half the hogs l have raised for
ten years. I have no swamp to raise
them in, no pasture. only wiregrass
and but little of that. raise them on
corn, potatoes and pinders. have also
raised enough strip to run my own
farm and another as large. will run
six plows this year and could furnish
them with rations If they had none.
Most of them have almost enough but
some one else will want it. will give
you the description of my crop First,
80 acres In oats: 80 of that stumped
and well cottonseeded, and aim to put
in hay; second, 100 acres in corn with
pinders and velvet means in middle.
Third, 30 acres in cotton. Fourth. s
acres Spanish ground peas planted in
April for early hog feed; acres in po-
tatoes, 2 acres in sugar cane. and Z
acres in peas for early hay. That is
about the way my farm will be plant
ed with not more than 20 tons of
guano. Look over this and il you think
am to blame for the overproduction
Of cotton say so. Now, want to de-
scribe the man that is to blame for
the low price of cotton-the man with
not quite enough corn buys a little
bread, feeds his mules three months on
green stuffs and hogs on weeds, If he
has any (hogs), and gets no milk
through winter because he can't feed
his cows. Not enough strip for his
children. Potatoes give out before
they come. and he needs no borax-
his meat is out before the bugs can
come. To make long story short, al
ways buying little of everything and
has nothing to sell but cotton. Let the
farmers change that. Have little
strip, little corn and meat and a
few bushels peas and pinders to sell,
and cotton will go up and everything
else will go up"

STORY OF TWO PAINTERS
In Which It Is Related How Van
Dyck and Halls Painted Each
Others Portrait.

There is story related by Houbra-
Ken, which may or may not be true,
that Van Dyck, passing through Haa-
ger to seek him out and tell him that
a stranger wished to see him, and on
Halls putting in an appearance asked
MIN to paint his portrait, adding, how
ever, that he had only two hours to
spare for the sitting. Halls finished the
portrait in that. time. whereupon his
sitter, observing that it seemed an easy
matter to paint a portrait, requested
that he be allowed to try to paint the
artist Halls soon recognized that his
visitor was well skilled in the materi-
ais he was using. Great, however, was
his surprise when he beheid the per-
Torrance. he Immediately embraced
the stranger, at the same ume crying
out: You are Van Dyca. No one
but he could do what you have just
now donei"
Assuming the story to be true, writes
Charles II. Caffin, in ''Hsw to Study
Pictures in st. Nicholas, how interest
ing it would be if the two portraits
existed. that one might see what Frans
Halls, accustomed to the heavier type
of the Dutch burghers, made of the del
icately refined features of Van Dyck,
and how the latter, who always gave
an air of aristocratic elegance to his
portraits, acquitted himself with the
blum, jovial Halls, who was as much
at home in tavern as in a studio. For
no two men could be more different,
both in their points of view and in
their methods, though they were alike
in this one particular-that each was
a most facile and skillful painter.

Mrs. III. Wi0hf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is q
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by .
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
A proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y. who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every.
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which % degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance In nv
stomach tried different dyspepsia cures
but nothing seemed to help me. was adj
vlsed to give Lydia E. Pinkhamss Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised

few Gays ibegan. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
i've weeks was well woman have REQ

No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unoua1i-
fed endorsement or has such q record OF
cures Of female troubles, as has lydia

Easy tasks make idle men.
Folly is close friend of pride.
Silver and gold-the sea and the sun.
The surest shot takes the quickest

To succeed be devoted. but not de-

Eternal dissatisfaction is the second

All sufferers from weakness or disor-

with lively interest the story of the COM
plete recovery of Mrs. Nettlie Darvoux
from chronic dyspepsia which was
thought to be incurable.
To be ailing for nine years is not q

Darvoux, when asked for some account
OF her illness. For two years was

"a book about DIR. Williams Pink Pills
was thrown in our doorway one day.
My husband picked it up and read it
through carefully. He was SO impressed
by the statements of those who had been
cured by that remedy that he imme-
diately bought three boxes of the pills
and insisted on my taking them"

cerned. DIR. Williams Pink Pills give
new vigor to the blood. No Other rem

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties OF baking
powders on the market, viz: ID Min
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid OF
Phosphate, and (3) Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important,
from the standpoint Of health, to know
something about these ingredients, and
which kind Is used in your baking
powder.
"a MiReral-Acid, or Alum, Is made
from kind Of clay This is mixed with
diluted oil of vitriol and from this
solution a product is obtained which
is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about
two cents a pound. and baking powder
made with this Mineral-Acid sells from
10 to 25c. pound.
(2) Bonc-4cid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manu-
facturer of phosphate powder. The
U. S. Patent Office Report gives full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground
are put into freshly diluted oil Of
vitrio1 and with continual stirring
and in the following proportion. .

From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak.

sell from 20 to 30 cents pound.
