The failure to return TO her anchor

As near as can be learned, the party
intended TO spend Sunday fishing in
the neighborhood OF Prudence Island.
Whether they changed their plans af-

they are anchored In the shelter OF
the island awaiting favorable weather

Yesterday Inquiries were set on foot,

no one has seen the Warwick since

TO EAT FRUIT
IN SUMNER INF


Eat only sound, ripe fruit. Unripe
fruit is indigestible. Overripe or partly
spoiled fruit is poisonous from the bac-
terra 1t contains.
Fruit is most wholesome eaten by it
self. at the beginning of a meal or as
dessert; least wholesome in puddings or
pies or after a hearty dinner.
Sweet fruits. such as bananas, dates
and figs, are best with breakfast GER
calls and other starchy foods; acid
fruits sometimes interfere with the
digestion of the starch. Dates, figs
or prunes supply all the sweetening
needed with mush.
Do not eat peach, plum or n other
tough fruit skins raw. 1t is safer not
to swallow grape seeds.
AS a rule cooked fruit is less likely
to cause sickness than raw fruit. Fruit
not quite ripe and fruit kept a little
too long may be made safe to eat by
thorough cooking.
Eat moderately of raw fruit, espe-
cially in hot weather. Do not imagine,
because 1t is watery and comparatively
innutritious, that you can safely eat 1t
in unlimited quantities.
The evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1907-1908, 1907-08-10
IN HOT WEATHER.

Eat little meat and plenty of greens.
Remember that it is highly injurious
TO drink ice water when overheated
from walking.
Underripe and overripe fruits are
both indigestible and viii cause grave
mischief if too freely INDUCED in.
Keep a close watch over the cleanlI-
ness of the refrigerator and do not eat
anything which is tainted, even in the
slightest degree. Z
Do not indulge in too many cooling
drinks until o note their effect upon
the system. Some people can, for in
stance. quaff any amount of iced tea,
while others cannot touch it.
Do not subsist on ice cream soda for
luncheon. The body requires just as
much good nourishment in hot weather
as 1t does in cold. provided that heat
ing foods are dispensed with.
Try not to think too much about the
heat. The more it is in the thoughts
the hotter n feels. Employ the mind
and the discomfort of surroundings will
be lessened, If not absolutely forgotten.
Try to take a little exercise in the
morning before the sun is too hot or in
the evening when it is cool. The sys-
tenn requires arcertain mount of exer-
else, even in hot weather, although II
may seem very hot to walk or do gym
nastics.
Do not neglect the daily bath. sliI

much overheated, wait until you have
cooled off a little before getting int
the water. If a cold bath is too severe
run the water hot and then allow il t.
cool gradually by letting the cold watei
faucet u while bathing.
A good way, in which to keep waite
cold in hot weather is to take a thii
glass jug or bottle and wrap a piece o
weil-wetted linen Cor a stocking leg
tightly around 1t. Fill the bottle witt
cold water and stand it in a shallow
dish filed with water. Place the who'll

around the bottle becomes dry befor

THAT TIRED FEELING.

The best cure for that weary feeling in
all its e~nervating phases Is exercise. The
more weary you feel the greater you
need of fresh air walks. dumb-bell jug
Cling and deep-breathing exercises. Eat
lots of green things. lettuce, watercress
dandelions and romaine with n simple
of salt, pepper, lemon juice and
oil-plenty Of the last and of the best
quality. Cheap, ~so-called olive oil" is
Of no use for any purpose except cleaning
metal. Sleep in a room that has all the
heat turned off n all the windows open
from top n bottom. Take a cold shower
on arising. IT will wake you up and
steady your nerves. Nc tissue responds
more quickly to the enervating and de-
pressing state than the nervous tissue,
which Is directly benefited by contact with
pure air n an improved circulation.

FOR H FLOOR.

How many wonen know that the ordi-
nary table oilcloth makes an excellent
floor covering for the kitchen? It Is mn
niteiy cheaper than linoleum we regu-
lar oilcloth. and IL put down over a lining
lasts a surprisingly long time.
One housekeeper who could afford 70

so desired, declares she always uses this
table oilcloth in preference to anything
else in her kitchen, as Its coioring Is at
t~ractive and 1t can easily be kept clean,
AS she says, "even should IL not last as
long as l%inoleum. 1t can be taken ZIP nno

cannot afford tiled walls and floor In o

EFFECTIVE LIGHTS IN
THE DRAWING ROOM.

When the drawing room, reception room
or living room does not appear cozy and
attractive when lighted up It night the
fault often lies with the chandelier A
room that is lighted only from a centre
chandelier Is apt to have a glaring. cold
appearance. particularly when the room Is
long and narrow. Side lights are the only
remedy for this. unless there are plenty
of softly shaded lamps around the apart
ment. A high central light is rarely cozy,
nor In the case of a long room does It
brighten it evenly. Candle brackets on the
side walls are better IL there are no gas
fixtures there.
1t must be remembered that a room
does not have to be glaringly lighted up
at any time. A well-distributed. soft
light is better upon all occasions. Soft
lights do not necessarily mean low lights,
as O poorly lighted room is equally bad
taste. It remains for the clever woman
to arrange her lighting so that is leans
to neither extreme.

Lobster Salad-Plck the meat from the

In one piece and cut 1t with the contents
Of the claws into slices one-quarter Of an

toiled eggs small and rub the yolks
through n hair sieve. DO the same with
the spawn or coral of the lobster, but mix
the soft part and any bits with tho sauce.
Pour The sauce into the bowl. put In a
layer of shred lettuce and small salad, and
place the slices of lobster, with the hard
boiled eggs quartercd, and interspersed
with sliced beet md cucumber on the top.
Repeat in the same manner until the bow
is full. sprinkling the egg and coral over
and between the layers. To ornament re-
serve some of the hard-boiled eggs. yolks
and whites, arrange these with the coral
and beet and sliced lobster, so that the
colors viii contrast well. Before serving
pour some dressing over the top. Crab

DAINTY SUMMER CLOTHES.

Every day of every week something
pretty comes along to fascinate women
shoppers. They linger' at one counter,
go to a second, third, and view all, yet
linger longest at the white dress goods
counter and usually make a good pur-
chase while there.
The soft white summer silk is having
its inning just now, and it is a fabric
so remarkably cheap that every
woman car afford a dress of the SHIN
mering material which is beautiful
when trimmed with dainty laces. It is
fine dress which defies a laundress
to ruin its beauty by washing it. 1t
irons nicely n always looks well. 1t
has two advantages. The waist may
be worn with other skirts, while the
dress skirt can serve nicely for a dress
during. the summer and a good foun-
dation petticoat for a thin wolfe dur-
ing the fall IND winter.
At present white material Is reason
ably cheap, though this is not the case
with fine embroideries and laces, for
Valenciennes remains practically the
same right along. But there are more
fashionable laces which are quite ex-
pensive, yet they play no part in the
dainty, cheap summer drass, for they
mostly adorn gorgeous robes of finest
silk or satin. The finishing medallion
is noticeably beautiful, being used to
finish off the end of some line of inser-
ton which makes more attractive some
fine skirt. AS a border edge for a
skirt these medallions r beautiful and
give an artistic finish which cannot be
surpassed in any line of richer ma
terials.
The ready-made Jokes, collars and
fine jabots make the question of dress
making at home comparatively easy,
for these features in dress making GER
tainly perplex the average amateur
dressmaker.
The white petticoats intended for
wear with thin. but not white dresses,
will be more serviceable il slightly
stiffened with narrow binding which
is sold by the yard for stiffening silk
ruffies. Learn what is worn, make
good selections and choose the best
patterns, and there will be favorable
chances for producing something which
will be attractive and always dressy,
for it is not always what one wears,
but how one wears a garment which
gives it a stylish appearance and
beauties the dresser.-Exchange.
