For a Photooraph.

The correct attire for having ones
photograph taken this season is an
evening gown cut decollete. Clad in
a light colored frock of the newest
filmy material. with trimming of sheer
lace or hand embroidery, any woman
may feel that so far as dress goes her
picture will be correct. The wearing
of big picture hats, with plumes, rib
bons and velvets. becomingly ar
ranged, which was such fad year
or so ago. is still in vogue. Ii depends
entirely upon the person posing. and
though the majority of photographs
will be taken without these hats, the
latter are an adjunct of picture taking
that will probably always be consid'
cred good form.
The use of furs, provided they are
handsome ones, will again be fashion
able, for a boa, or even a collarette,
placed carelessly around the neck
lends a touch of elegance that is great
ly favored by the average woman. A
fur cape or even long coat thrown
open in front to show the evening cos
tune will be permissible, though
doubtless little worn for photographs.

HOW TO FREsHEN RIBBON.
Some Good Ways of Restoring 1t to
First Freshness.

Ribbon is first busted and then
ironed between tissue paper. TO
clean ribbon. a mixture is made in the
proportion of three ounces soft soap,
three ounces honey, to teacupful
each of gin and water.
The ribbon is placed on a board
and scrubbed with the mixture; 1t is
then rinsed by dipping several times
in as many lots of clean, cold water,
and not squeezed out, but hung over a
line to drip, then put between clean
cloths and ironed by drawing the rib
bon from under the iron; this pre-
vents creasing and a stringy appear
ance at finish; the iron should be
kept still with pressure upon it.
Ribbon interviewer with tinsel is
best cleaned with bread crumbs and
powdered blue, then shaken and rub
bed with a clean cloth; tinsel. or gold
lace. with rock ammonia.
To wash colored ribbons. make a
strong lather of cold water and fine
soap; wash the ribbons and rinse
them several times. always in soapy
water. not clear water.
When partly dry iron between thin
pieces of muslin, having the ribbon

cHINTzEs MUCH IN FAVOR.
Used in Many Ways for the Decora-
ton of Bedrooms.

Chintzes of all kinds have been
perfect craze among fashionable wo-
men for some time past. No bedroom
is considered quite up-to-date unless
the furniture is covered with gay-col-
ored chintz and the curtains are made
to match.
A new departure in interior decora-
ton is to have the bedroom walls also
covered with chintz to match the
hangings. Chintz is almost as easily
put on the walls as paper, and the ef-
fact is far more attractive.
A bedroom whoch has just been fin
ished for a woman was most attract.
lively fitted up.
The walls were hung with a pink
and green fiowered chintz, which was
finished at the top with pink gimp
put on with brass nails.
The furniture was covered with
and the curtains made of the same
material.
Chintz is also used as border with
plain paper below in some bedrooms,
where people do not want to go to
the expense of having the entire wall
covered with a material which is a lit
tie more costly than ordinary wall
paper.

THE GULF COAST OF
TEXAS
A LAND "FLoWlNo IN MILK AND
HONEY"
semi-TropIeaI Climate; Vast Yields Of
Vegetables and Fruit.

Corpus Christi, Tex. Feb. 12.-
The lower Rio Grande Valley is
sometimes enormously referred to as
Southwest Texas, and so is ElPaso,
but THEY ARE EIGHT HUNDRED
MILES APART.
1t is Winter in Northern Texas while
the Gulf Coast country is enjoying
sunshine like that of May.
In fact the Gulf Coast knows no
Winter-every month is a growing
month.
Texas produces wheat like Mime
sofa, corn like Illinois, and more cot
ton than any other two Southern
States combined. And no part of this
great State surpasses in opportunity
and possibilities the Gulf Coast Coun-
try and the region down by the Rio
Grande.
Artesian water was discovered five
or six years ago on the great King
Ranch, near Corpus Christi. AS time
went on the Artesian Belt was extend
ed until it now covers the territory
from Robstown, sixteen miles west OF
Corpus Christi. to Raymondville. and is
being extended monthly with every in
dication that satisfactory flow will
be obtained in all territory not covered
by the systems of irrigation on the
Rio Grande.
One of the most successful planters
on the Rio Grande is Mr.. John Closner,
who owns six thousand acres near HI
dalgo, on the S. L., b. e. NJ. Ry. From
thirty-three acres of Bermuda onions
Mr.. Closner last year (1906) shipped
thirty-five carloads of as fine onions
as were ever grown. This crop alone
netted him $4,000.
Two crops of corn can be grown on
| the same land each year along the
| Rio Grande Rice, cotton and numer-
Gus other crops, as well as great
variety of fruit can be grown just as
successfully. At a dinner recently
given some visitors, a Gulf Coast agri-
culturist set fifteen (15) different va
rieties Of vegetables before his guests.
A comprehensive book of eighty
pages, profusely illustrated and fully
descriptive of the Texas Gulf Coast

MIX THIS AT HOME.
Prescription Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.
Try 1t, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandellon, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in bot
tie. and take teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture Is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of Rheumatism and Kidney
troubles 1t will fail to cure perma-
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
IL not, have him order them from the

WORDS DERIVED FROM SPORTS.
Pastimes the Indirect Means Of En-

Sports and pastines of bygone days

a variation of "shah," has not only
come into common speech, but has
teen the foundation Of many other
words. A philologist traces to it the
checker board" "the exchequer' and

A PIANO IN HIS LUNGS.
Remarkable Human Curiosity Living
on the Pacific Coast.

or all the musical curiosities that
Nature has produced lately one OF the
oldest is a man with piano in his
lungs. On the Pacific coast there is
a man by the name of Pearson, his
native state is said TO be Arkansas,
but he now resides in a small Wash
ington town, who can, without any
undue effort, send forth remarkable
melodies which sound like the music
of a piano with a melodeon accom-
paniment.
This lung piano, as 1t has been
termed by the owner is partly gift
of Nature, but Pearson has cultivated
the use of the extraordinary instru.
ment very carefully and thoroughly,
until now he is able to play several
familiar tunes with wonderful express.
sion and technique. Friends OF Pear.
son say that his services are invalu'
able when church fairs, bazaars and
country entertainments are on hand.
He makes an excellent barker, and
his tuneful voice penetrates the FUR
thermost corner of meeting house or
tent. He says that other people could
perfect themselves in the same ac-
complishment II they tried 1t and prac.
ticed it regularly.

bands joined and formed a panel that
ran down and overlapped long, mar

only decoration of the skirt, this latter

these were the sleeves proper. They

CAAADA'S GOOD TIMES.
The immigration During 1906 Was
216,o00.


While Il is we'll to heed every
word of caution from the leaders In
commerce and finance and to avoid
all speculative ventures that lack
solid business foundation, ii is clearly
evident that there is no conspicuous
weak spot In Canadas present era of
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:
The Dominion has in a commercial
sense plenty of money. and our lead
ing financial institutions are in a po-
sition to lend freely in the United
States. The chief productive enter
prises of Canada are not buoyed up
by an era of dangerous speculation,
but are following substantial busi-
ness methods and finding safe and
continuous markets for their goods.
We are not bolstering up any indus
tries by extensive export bonuses
that must impoverish the people as
a whole, and ultimately lead to col
lapse through the failure of the arti-
fetal aid. There is no extreme pro-
lection in Canada such as would Gre
ate great fortunes tor a few at the
expense of the general public and
lead TO disruption and catastrophe.
The prosperity of Canada has no ar
tificial foundation being based on a
healthy and substantial expansion of
trade and industry. with a proportion
ate extension of productive settlement
to new areas.
1t is true that we are borrowing
extensively for railway construction,
but every line will bring new terri
tory within the limits of profitable
occupation, and will create prosper
Gus settlements TO bear the burdens
and repay the outlay. We are not
exhausting mineral resources, for it
is quite reasonable to assume that,
although mineral wealth is never
permanent, ours will during the
measurable future develop a far
greater productive capacity than at
present. Our timber wealth can be
made continuous by a judicious pol
icy. And agriculture, the real foun-
dation of our prosperity, is expanding
with every new expenditure on rail
way construction. We are not in
the flush of a railway mania that
could bring its punishment through
the useless duplication of lines. The
gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line of business
| in Canada will create a new Domin-
| ion, and thus render easy the heavy
| burdens of debt now freely assumed.
Canada's era Of prosperity has been
unprecedented, but there is no sign
of weakness and no cause for lack
| of confidence. While our growth is
normal and healthy, we need have no
alarm at its rapidity." This article
might have gone on to relate the
great growth that is taking place in
Central Canada, where thousands OF
Americans have made their homes
during the past few years. The past
calendar year has given to Canada by
importation an addition of 216,000 tC
its population. OF this the United
States contributed 63,7S1 The agent:
of the Canadian government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere, sa!
that this number will be largely in
creased during 1907.

Expensive City TO Live In.

High prices continue to rule in Daw-

expensive town in the world. It is q
thriving place with population OF
over 8,000,- with warehouses, churches,
banks, electric lights, wholesale and
retail stores and two up-to-date news
papers. The newspapers themselves
are worthy of consideration in the
light of expense, for they cost 25 cents
a copy. At this time of the year three
eggs ordered in a restaurant cost
$3.50, while a caribou steak costs one
dollar. Beer is worth one dollar bot

OF Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be

women, unfortunately, are not. owing
to the unnatural condition of the lives
we lead. Headache. backache and a
general tired condition are prevalent
amongst the women of to-day, and to
relieve these conditions women rush
to the druggists for bottle of some
preparation supposed to be particular
ly for them, and containing-nobody
knows what. IL they would just get
a box of Brandreth's Pills, and take
them regularly every night for time,
all their trouble would disappear, as
these pills regulate the organs of the
feminine system. The same dose al.
ways has the same effect, no matter
how long they are used.

for over a century, and are for sale
