How Men Like to See Women Dressed.
From Leslie's Weekly.

II women dress to please men they
will always be gowned simply, appro-
spriately, more quietly. and consequent
Z ly more becomingly, than II they wear
their clothes for the benefit of women.
Men always Ike simple, neat costumes.
free from flying ends, frills. ribbons
and laces. OF course there are men
who never notice what kind of clothes
their wives and daughters wear. They
only know when these look well. when
the general effect is good. but are new
err able to particularize. But men are
becoming better educated in the mat :
ter Of clothes for women. and the av-
sessHe man OF today, travelling about
among women. is capable Of discrim-
mating. and knows the value Of a
.woman's clothing as we'll as its becom-
singness. Many wives would appear
ITO better advantage IN their clothes IL
,th0y would take their husbands advice
In the selection OF them, instead OF the
advice OF their dressmakers. The lat
ter are apt to burden their customers
down with costly and unbecoming fur-
bellows, regardless of taste.

my face and q few covering my body,
which produced severe itching fri

deal of annoyance and suffering. to
such an extent that l was forced to
call in two Of the leading physicians
OF my town. After thorough exami-
nation OF the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the

the treatment did Inc no good. Finally
my husband purchased a set OF the
Cuticura Remedies, aud after using the
contents OF the first bottle Of Cuticura
Resolvent in connection with the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment, the breaking
cut entirely stopped. l continued the
use of the Cuticura Remedies for six

a PERFECT HAND.

How Its Appearance Became Famil.
lar to the Public.
The story of how probably the most
perfect feminine hand in America be-
came known to the people Is rather In
teresting.
AS the story goes the possessor of the
hand was with some friends in photo
grapher's one day and while talking,
held up piece of candy. The pose of
the hand with its perfect contour and
faultless shape attracted the attention
of the artist who proposed to photo
graph it. The result was beautiful
picture kept in the family until one
day, after reading letter from some
one inquiring as to who wrote the Pos
tum and Grape Nuts advertisements,
Mr.. Post said to his wife, I'VE receive
SO many inquiries of this kind, that it
is evident some people are curious to
know, suppose we let the advertising
department have that picture Of your
hand to print and name it "a Help
ing Hand" (Afrs. Post has assisted
him in preparation of some Of the
most famous advertisements
There was natural shrinking from
the publicity. but with an agreement
that no name would accompany the
picture its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
of extending welcoming hand to the
friends Of Postum and Grape-Nuts, 50
the picture appeared on the back Gov
era Of many Of the January and Febru-
airy magazines and became known to
millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
1t as probably the most perfect hand
in the world.
The advertising department of the
Postum Co. did not seem able to resist
the temptation to enlist the curiosity
of the public, by refralning from Civ
ing the name of the owner when the
picture appeared, but stated that the
name would be given later in one Of
the. newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to lool
for and read the Forthcoming advertise
ments to learn the name Of the owner
This combination OF art and com
merce and the multitude of inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration Of

a man, who, by education, expert

Irrespective of political ~persuasions)
delight to know and highly esteem.
| am quite sure you will agree with
me that our country needs today
more men of that type, who will
put "true religion and undefiled' in
politics so called. We need to guard
against Introducing politics into our
religion (f we have any of the lat
teri, but We need have no fear of in
Producing religion into our politics.
Mr.. Corey has sought to do that, and
will continue to- do it. A man that
fears God, ungodly men may well
fear. tHsi
His Redundancy of Vigor As An
American Patriot.
As take it, the difference between
a politician and a patriot is this, the
former only sees the next step, where
as the latter sees by mean of the
long range vision. The one is too
often supremely selfish, while the
other makes sacrifices of a patriotic
type out of love for his country. The
mere politician may be willing to die
for his country, but he wants to fix
the date of his death himself.
| have heard MI. Corey enough in
public, as we'll as in private, to know
that he is vastly more. than a ''politi-
cian." His patriotism will not die
out so long as he lives. j have said
absolutely nothing to Mr.. Corey
about his recent action in accepting a
certain Craftsmanship, but of this !
am convinced, the man honors the
position and not so much the posi-
ton the man. Whatever his plans
may be. and / know none of them, of
this | am persuaded, they will be
highly honorable, in system, energy,
and perseverance,, else he would
spurn and turn from the cause, into
which he will put his soul, in toto.

With eagerness to serve by sword

thought
Is linked with the great thoughts

That fired the world and made 1t

We need the saint, not mumbling in
the chill
Ascetic shade of some monastic

But in the rush of life, possessing
High principle, clean hands, a
firm and fearless will"
And such a man is Mr.. Corey, as

SHELTON MINISTER
TELLS ABOUT COREY
The following is taken from the
New Brunswick Home News:
Who Is Corey?
(By the Rev. William T. Dorward

Who Is Corey?
(By the Rev. William T. Dorward,
Stelton, N. ID
Dear Mr.. Boyd:-As a constant
reader of the Home News, and as one
who fully appreciates the able editor
ials that come from your sanctum,
permit me space and grace to answer
the above question briefly. And this
| will essay to do, with little or no
though about the men who are loom
ing up at present in the local political
horizon.
Although l have known Mr.. Corey
but a short time, measuring and
Counting time as men generally do
by years, yet ] have been with him
enough to know that if every com
munity had more men like him, the
better it would be for all concerned.
You have published already the main
facts of Mr.. Corey's public career,
making your readers conclude, and
rightly, that it is both honored and
honorable.
His Catholicity of Spirit as a Chris
tan Gentleman.
Although belonging to an entirely
different denomination, as soon as he
became a resident of Stelton. he iden-
titled himself with the church of
which | I'm pastor. In a community
like Stelton that is not so small a
matter as some might at first thought
image. 1t is a veritable inspiration
to me to see Mr.. Corey conduct and
teach a large Bible class of young
men at the close of our Sunday morn
ing service. And fortunate indeed
are the young men who listen to his
teaching out of the Word of God,
amplified by a rich and rare expert
ence with men and public affairs.
OF course, these facts do not con-
stitute him a Christian gentleman"
but they must be among the evidences
of what the man is in spirit and life.
The closer you get to him, the more
