TABLE DECORATIONS
NOVEL IDEAS THAT COME FROM
ACROSS THE WATER.
viii BE Welcome Change From the
Conventional Forms So Long In
Use--Are In Keeping With
the Festive Occasion.

For the enlightenment Of the host.
ess who is wearied Of the conventional
forms of floral decorations for lunch
cons, debutante suppers and other fes.
tive occasions, novel suggestion
comes from across the water.
The dictum Of the master florist Is
that table decorations must be in
keeping with the occasion, the color
scheme and arrangement of the flow
.ers, of course, to be the most artistic.
An instance was magnificent floral
design for christening luncheon. 1t
was a large dolls cradle made wholly
of flowers. The cot itself was COM
coverlet was made of the same flower,
bearing a spray OF pink carnations in
one corner.
On a pillow OF white blossoms wax
baby doll lay fast asleep. The curtains
were made of white chiffon, on which
were tackled sprays of white heather,
and trails of sinilax gave the finishing
touch.
The new form of doll" decoration
is expected to prove very fashionable
this winter. One design for a we'd
ding breakfast is a wedding process
sion of the bride and her maids. The
bride-a pretty wax doll-is to wear
a gown of lilies of the valley, while
her train will be composed of white
rose petals. A coronet of real orange
blossoms and tulle veil with min
iature boquet of exotics fastened to
her hand will complete the realistic
picture.
The bridesmaids dresses are to be
carried out in Panama violets, with
hats and miniature muffs of white vio-
lets trimmed with pink rosebuds. The
muffs are to be- hung round the dolls
necks with pink satin ribbon.
I A number of floral dolls dancing the
minuet is design arranged for de-
butante's ball supper.
The flower costumes will be diff.
ferent, one table being carried out in
violets, another In snowdrops, while
a third couple will wear gown and
suit of pink anemones.
| Doll decorations lot large chill
dren's parties are suggested. The
dolls can be robed in flower dresses.
Little Red Riding Hood will wear a
cloak of scarlet anemones; Cinderella
can be radiant in white lilies trimmed
with frosted silver leaves. A tiny
floral shoe will lie on the table behind
her.
A ferocious giant doll, in doublet
of violets, will pursue Jack the Giant
Killer, and in the center of the table
Father Christmas will preside, dressed
in holly and mistletoe.
For holiday celebrations 1t is pre-
dicted that the heretofore indispen
sable Christmas tree will find a rival
in the floral doll that each little guest
will carry off as souvenir.

Cider Vineuar.

Procure a barrel or cask of cider,
put into 1t piece of paper dipped in
molasses and set in warm place in
a situation exposed to the influence of
the sun until it becomes vinegar Tea,
coffee or sour beer left after meals
may be added to the vinegar without
injury to it, IL not aided in too large
quantities. If you are making only a
small quantity of vinegar at a time,
two quart glass fruit cans are better
than stone jugs, as larger surface
is exposed to the light and air. A
cloth should be tied over the top to
keep out dust and vinegar flies. Set
the jars in the sun until they work
clear, then strain. When mother"
forms, new vinegar can be made by
simply adding sweetened water. Soft
water should always be used in the
making Of vinegars.

human body must adjust itself to this

The perspiration incident to warm
weather has been checked. This de-
tains within the system poisonous
materials which have heretofore found
escape through the perspiration.
Most of the poisonous materials re-
tanned in the system by the checked
perspiration find their way out of the
body, IL at all, through the kidneys.
This throws upon the kidneys extra
labor. They become charged and over
loaded with the poisonous excretory
materials. This has tendency to In
flame the kidneys, producing function
al diseases of the kidneys and some
times Bright's Disease.
Peruna acts upon the skin by stimu-
lating the emunctory glands and ducts,
thus preventing the detention of pois-
onous materials which should pass
out. Peruna invigoretes the kidneys
and encourages them to fulfill their
function In spite of the chills and dis
couragements Of cold weather.

Labor DaY Proclamation,

The following is the text of Gov.
Johnson's proclamation designating
Monday, Sept. 3, as Labor day:
~"Acting under the authority con-
ferred upon me as executive of the
state, I do hereby proclaim as Labor
day, Monday, Sept. 3, 1906, and re-
quest a general observance of this
great holiday, established in just rec
ognition of all who toll.
''That the legislature of the states
have all set apart one day in each
year when labor shall lay aside its
avocations and meet to discuss pro-
blems of vital interest to the body
polite is cause for congratulation.
Only in free and fair discussion,
earnest yet dispassionate, can labor
and capital find that common ground
that is essential to the prosperity and
happiness of ALL
Labor in this country has attained
dignity that is second to no service
It's strength and virility are vertebrae
in the nations spinal column. Its
problems are Identical with those OF
the country and their settlement can
measurably be FASTENED by the proper
observance of Labor day and a fair
and earnest effort at mutual recogni-
tion and Cancellation between organ
lied labor and organized capital,
Both, apparently, are institutions
that will endure as long as the repub-
lie shall last, and it is to be hoped
that better understanding will come
out of successive observan ances incident
to this day."

less to try to drag the lake for the
body, as all indications show that the
man must have been some distance
from shore when he took his unlucky
bath. = ~~sS>.& Is;
The missing man was about 80 years
of age, unmarried and lived with a
sister in Minneapolis. He was a
bookkeeper forszT7the Chas. Wilkins
Plumbing Co. ofSMinneapolis and was
here on his summer vacation. He was
an expert swimmer, very fond of water
sports and it is supposed that he was
taken with cramps though some are
inclined to believe that he was in the
water at the time OF the storm Tues
day evening and that the wind blew
the boat out Of his reach.
On account of the water of the lake
being so cold, it is probable that it
will be several days before the body
comes to the surface.

SIN a Woman's Power"

''In Woman's Power', which will
be presented at the Willmar opera
house Monday, Sept. II, does not be-
long to the Out-of-date commonplace
melodramas. Ernest Stout, the
author, has written an entirely origi-
nal up-to-date play that contains all
the elements of successful productions.
The scenes are laid in California and
New York and are lifelike in every
detail.
The characters are all distinctly
drawn and represent various types to
be found in the sunny cline. Marks,
a Hebrew, who is conspicuous in the
play, is a unique character. He is an
honest, undetermined Israelite, the
tool of the villain.

Burglarized Doctors Residence.

The residence of DR.. G. johnson was
visited by burglar last night, who
effected an entrance by climbing onto
the front porch and entering thru one
of the bedroom windows on the second
floor. His presence was discovered
by the young lady occupants of the
house, who were in adjoining rooms
and who had not retired yet.
1t was about eleven O'Clock when the
porch climber was heard by the ladies,
whose attention was attracted by a
noise in the guest chamber. One OF
the ladies, who wss sitting up reading,
took her lamp and went in to investi-
gate, and Immediately discovered a
man in hiding behind the bed, which
was standing in the middle of the
room. She at once gave the alarm
| and ran downstairs screaming. The
| occupants of the house were aroused
and when they came to look for Mr..
Burglar he had made his exit by the
same route he came. The window had
not been locked and the screen had
been blown out during storm some
time ago.
When the young lady discovered the
midnight visitor she noticed that ht
wore tan shoes and she thought ht
wore blue suit. He appeared vel
dressed. Beyond this she cannot de-
scribe him. No valuables were taken
as the burglar had no time to pursue
his mission before beng discovered.
