be cautious about wearing checks, and
short fat men should eschew them. Up

Green also enters into many of the

Men who wish to make an Impressive

great extent what are called by tailors
walking suits"-that is, suits having

with the check patterns. The coat will
be cut rather full IN front. with three

Double-breasted waisteoats are good

flaps add 70 the stylishness Of the gar

Il is always wise TO order two pairs
OF trousers with suits Of check and
variegated patterns. The life Of a coat
is, with most persons, nearly twice that
OF pair Of trousers, and sometimes a
good coat Is wasted because the trous-
ers that go with it are hopelessly bagged
at the knees. With a suit OF strongly
marked pattern it is not pleasant 10
wear trousers Of a different design.
Here it may be noted that foolish ex-
travagance IS no essential part OF dress
ing well. TIE man who dresses well
chooses his clothes deliberately and
wisely, takes care OF them, and makes
them last a reasonable time. Conse-
quently, he spends. in many cases az
least, less money than the man who
dresses badly.
Another form Of cutaWay coat which

season is a black morning coat trimmed
with broad mOhair braid. II Is made OF
vicuna and other soft black materials
It is more cut away In front than the

rule II is made with two and. at the
most, three buttons.

not seem that either custom or ready
made tailors are planning TO force any
particularly outrageous STYLES upon the
public, bat sound advice win be given
here concerning fashions that threaten
to pass beyond the bounds OF good
sense and good taste.

dressed IS even worse than being shah

lis padded shoulders or faring coattails
or varietgated socks.
A little sound advice upon the subject
OF frOck coats will be useful to many
men, They find themselves compelled
10 invest In one Of these expensive, i'm
pressive garments, hut they do not as
rule have occasion to wear # frequently.
The best type Of frock coat is cut with
tails that stop Just above the knees. It
Is cut rather high in the waist TO give
the effect OF long tails, although the lat
ter are not cUmbrous. 1t is cut TO 1T
the waist with scrupulous care Three
buttons are the proper number. The
opening in front is cut low and the Ia
pels Of the collar are broad. The coat
should bulge forward at the opening
with a skillfully contrived fullness. a
Gouble-breasted wafstcoat is thoroughly
in keeping with this coat. Dark gray
ViCuna is the most servfceabIe material.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to Sweeten it. She knows
that If her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are exactly akin to the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that If this stomach churn is foul 1t
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in Stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid, or law
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
The best agents known to medical sci
ence for the cure of the above symptoms
and conditions, as attested by the writings
of leading teachers and practitioners of
all the several schools of medical practice,
have been skillfully and harmoniOusly
combined in DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That this is absolutely true
will be readily proven to your satisfaction
II you will but mail postal card request

riCuIum

uCdtiOn viii Be Re-
CURED,
FIRST YEAR IN THE NEW SCHOOLS

Material changes have been made in
the curriculum of the district agri-
cultural colleges as it is now proposed
as compared with the original draft
prepared by Joseph Stewart, state
agent of the University. In general
terms, this curriculum has been con
siderably reduced, until now the first
year in the agricultural school is about
the equivalent of the seventh grade III
the grammar schools. More practical
agricultural work has been introduced,
the literary and scientific studies
being more subordinated to the man
idea of agricultural education. The
present plan cOntemplates four-years
term in the agricultural schools, with a
prospect Of reducing it in the future,
as occasion may warrant, to three
years.
