New Powder .sRag.v

Members of the gentler sex used to
carry small chamois skin bags filed
with talcum powder concealed about
their persons in various mysterious
places If bag was not at hand the
knotted corner Of handkerchief would
do. The powder thus concealed, in con-
junction with the molstened corner of a
handkerchief, was used to make an i'm
promptu toilet in cases where soap and
water was not at hand and to restore
the ravages of wind and dust. This APP
paratus now has been condemned as
crude and bunglesome
The newest wrinkle is the "papier
poudre," French Importation. 1t Is a
little square of thin paper, smooth on
one side and slightly roughened on the
other, which can be used equally well
as sponge. powder puff, or perfume
bag. The slightly rougbened side acts
as a sort of sandpaper. cleaning the
dust from the face, while at the same
time the scented powder is rubbed on.
The advantage Of the paper poudre is
in the fact that it can be concealed any
wherein the palm of the glove, under
the belt, or folded in the handkerchief
and in the hands of a skillful manip-
ulator can be used without attracting
the slightest attention by means of clev-
er combination with the handkerchief.

To Clean Wall Paper.

these directions for cleaning wall pa
per are likely to be of service to many
a housewife. Proceed as follows Cut
into eight portions loaf of bread two
days old. With one of these pieces,
after having blown off all the dust from
the paper by means of bellows. begin
at the top of the room, holding the
crust in the hand, and wiping lightly
downward with the crumb, about half 4
yard each stroke until the upper part
of the paper is completed all around.
Then go around again, with the like
sweeping stroke very little higher
than where lie upper stroke finished,
till the bottom is finished. This opera
ton, If carefully performed, will often
make very old paper look almost equal
TO new.
Great caution must be used not TO
rub the paper hard, nor to attempt
cleaning it IN the horizontal way. The
dirty part of the bread, too, must be
continually cut away, and the place re-
newed when necessary.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1907-09-12

shades with afternoon and evening
gowns.
Velvet ribbon, plain or set with jew
els, is worn around the neck when the
gown is decollette. 1t is invariably seen
with the Dutch neck, which is now so
popular.
Dainty white batiste shirtwaists are
shown with Marie Antoinette frills,
with tiny edge Of lavender, pink, blue
or tan color on the front plat and on
each edge of the cuffs.
Very pretty princess lingerie dresses
are made of French null in white,
pink, light blue and heliotrope. They
are trimmed on the skirt and waist
with valenciennes lace.
Some of the newest sleeves are made
with bewitching little puffs above the
elbows, and cuffs fastening just below.
Another cuff is of lace which reaches
halfway down the forearm.
The feather pin is jewelry novelty
which threatens to be as popular as
the horseshoe and the Swastika. A
coral setting in the center of the quill
is used with gold, and turquoise with
silver.
A pretty sash, called the japanese
style, is made with wide girdle, short,
fiat bow, and long ends. Another style
is the Dutch loop made in a large puff
of soft silk and two long ends which
are finished with fringe.
There is new hair ornament of
twisted purple velvet, wired, with Gus
ters of black currants over the right
ear, and white over the left This fruit
is made of silvery tinsel and few
natural colored leaves are put with it.
Necklaces with stones to match the
gowns are the latest craze. A slender
gold chain with pear-shaped mother-of-
pearl pendant is very popular and can
be worn with any costume. Amethysts
and topaz are more becoming to most
women than the more brilliant stones.

ButtermiII. as a Tonic.

Ordinary sour buttermilk is better
tonic. is better food than was ever
bottled or boxed up by the chemist or
DOCTOR Buttermilk is a very hearty
food. Two glasses day is enough
for any one. This should be drunk
with meals. or else should not be taken
within two hours of meal, says Nc
Calls Magazine. Time should be given
for it to thoroughly digest before any
thing else is taken into the stomach.
1t takes buttermilk considerably over
an hour to digest, and 10 drink another
glass before the first one is digested
is only to. stir up difficulty with the
digestive organs. Really, the best way
to drink buttermilk is with the meals,
though it may be drunk between meals
as sort Of easily digested lunch.

Brendwinninx Capacity.

1t is of the utmost Importance that
every human being be fitted for bread
winning. The San Francisco catas-
sands Of easy-going mOrtals. Physi-
clans who had spent years in building
up practice found themselves obliged
to begin again at the bottom with
young men full of ambition. The rich
had first taste of bitterness in being
obliged to share hardships with fam
lilies that had hardened in adversely.
Some of these will never recover from
the blow because they have no ability
to earn a living. Those who are better
equipped win find opportunities of
which they can make use.

Makes One beautiful.

DR.. Hale White, noted London spe-
cialist, says that people who have rheu-
matism may eat what they please, as it
makes no difference to the disease, but
there Is one vegetable that gets in its
work in another way, and that is the
cucumber. 1t is the beauty vegetable
par excellence, and every one who
would be beautiful must eat it ut least
once a day. 1t is good idea to eat it
oftener. if you can, you who would be
beautiful. 1t is also good for the COM
plexion as an outside applicant. the
skin and seeds stepped in water being
excellent for the complexion.

RAILROADS NEED THE "TAG."
What Government Control Would
the Tra He.

What Government Control Would
Mean to the Traffic.
The remarkable showing in railroad
earnings during the past five years,
and the enormous increase in the net
receipts of the transportation compan-
les for the year 1906 over 1905,
place the railroad magnates in the
same ridiculous light in which the
packers found themselves in their
contention that government regu-
lation would destroy the meat in
dustry, says the Kansas City Star. In
stead of ruination the railroads find
themselves confronted, after five years
OF agitation for government control.
with gross earnings doubled and net
earnings aggregating practically a
billion dollars. The actual situation is
in direct contradiction of the forecasts
made Dy the self-interested prophets OF
despair.
To admit the contcn ion of the rail-
roads that Federal regulation would
mean disaster would be equivalent to
the admission that this is a govern
ment of anarchy, antagonistic to all
commercial interests. That the rail-
road managers cannot comprehend the
benefits of government oversight, is a
reflection on the sagacity which has
brought the great industry to its pres
ent perfect organization.
The tag" Of the government on
American meats is worth millions, to
the packers 1t invites patronage and
opens doors to new markets. And the
strong hand of the government in reg
ulating the railroads would be a GER
tificate of good faith TO investors, a
guaranty that they could not be film
TANNED by Wall street gamblers and
stock plungers, while it served at the
same time as an indemnifying bond
that the public could not be plundered
by outlaw corporations. Such policy
could not prove harmful TO any legiti-
mate enterprise.
But the bug under the chip, so far
as the Harrimans and the Morgans are
concerned, is found in the statement of
the excessive capitalization and bonded
Indebtedness of the roads. Government
control in its final analysis is a men,
ace to this system of easy money. II
threatens TO reduce the railroad BUSH
ness to the duty Of operating the trans
portation lines and separate II from
the realm of the gambler and the get
rich-quick stock jugglers.
