Aids to the Appearance.

Every woman should remember
when choosing a dress that she must
study closely her own appearance, and
dress in the style that is most be-
coming to her height, figure and COM
plexion.
In choosing her dresses the tall girl
should bear in mind that a short one
detracts from the height, and in this
matter fashion favors her; for the long
trailing dresses for everyday wear are
a thing of the past, and it is seldom a
m is seer in the streets with her
skirts trailing along in the mud Or
dust, or tucked away under her arm
Some tall women in order to make
themselves appear shorter make the
mistake of STOPPING, thinking that In
so doing they will lessen their height;
while, instead of making themselves
appear shorter, they only succeed in
looking awkward and ungraceful.
The extra tall girl seems to have an
advantage over the very short girl, in
the fact that she can usually walk
gracefully, when once she has got out
of the STOPPING habit; but with a Very
short person this is seldom the case,
and her walk has a tendency to. devef-
Cd into a waddle. She can, however,,
add to her height more easily than a
tall person can detract from hers. By
wearing high heeled shoes quite an
inch is added to the height. The broad
waist belt gives length to the waist.
Squatty hats should be avoided, and
very large ones overlooked by her.
The slender girl of ordinary height
should find no difficulty in choosing
her dress, as she is well catered for in
the fashions, and can usually manage
to present a satisfactory appearance;
but a stout woman has to be more
careful, and should remember, when
choosing her style of costume, that the
gown should be made for the person by
whom it is meant to be worn, and not
because the style is smart and a little
out of the ordinary.
The girl with a. long neck should moi
expose too much of it to view, but
should cover it up with a pretty fancy
collar.
If possessed with a small fiat nose

those that project very much in the

if it can be so termed. Hats with sharp
outlines, or that are set back off the
face, should be avoided by the person
with sharp and decidedly prominent
features. The woman with a promi.

and her hats should not be severe in
outline and should be set we'll forward

EReAO DYSPEPSIA.
TIA Dig sting Element Left Out.

Bread dyspepsia is common 1t az
fects the bowels because white bread
is nearly all starch, an6 starch is dl-
gested in the intsstines, not in the
stomach proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat
berry Nature has provided a curious
deposit which is turned into diastase
when it is subjected to the saliva and
to the pancreatic juices in the human
inteStines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
z which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark -four, rr natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that
Nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation, and all sorts of
trouble exist when we go so contrary
to Natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in a perfectly
natural manner without the use OF
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals OF grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces OF
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore is
naturally pre-digested and its use in
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch in the
food. and that is very Common in the
human race to-day.
The effect of ealing Grape-Nuts ten
DAYS or two weeks and the discontin-
u OF ordinary white bread. is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly in

Bio EARRINGS Now Worn.

Screw earrings of enormous size are
the fad among fashionable women this
season, which only goes to show how
women's ideas change in the matter
of what is modish.
Only a short time ago women viewed
with disdain these relics of barbarism,
as they were called, and would as soon
have worn rings in their noses; but
fashion can work revolutions when she
sets about it.
One of the favorite combinations of
stones is turquoises and diamonds in a
cluster effect. Previously to going into
mourning a woman prominent social
ly, wore such a pair which were fully
one-half inch in diameter, but were
most becoming to her dark, piquant
beauty.-New York Sun.

No More Bareheaded Summer Girls

No More Bareheaded Summer Girls.
Going bareheaded in the evening,
which was a fad for a few summers
among girls, doesn't seem likely to be
revived this summer, if one may guess
by the way maids are making provi-
sions for null and lace hats. Some
how, old-fashioned folk seemed to
think there was something immodest
in a girl going ba~reheaded, and argu-
ment could not change that view. Be
sides girls who have been abroad
spread the news that only peasants
go out of their homes without head
dress. In England and on the CONT
nent a woman of good social position
never appears outside her own home
or grounds without hat and gloves.
Against these considerations the mere
fact that the mo hat" fashion was
backed by a commonsense regard for
comfort will have no weight.
