WHERE IDEALS QUICKLY DIE.

City Acts az cramp on Genius.
What ability or skill the great man
of the provinces brought with him to
the metropolis may be only the foun'
dalton for real work. There will sure,

methods, says Atlantic. A story is
told of a poet who arrived in town
with a complete epic. This found no
acceptance, so after cursing the stu,
pidity of the public and the publishers
he took to writing Sunday stuff"
Soon the matter-of-fact attitude of the
workers around him, with the practi
cal view of the market he acquired.
led him to doubt the literary value OF
the work he had done In the senti.
mental atmosphere of his native place.
Presently commission to write a
column of humor a week came to him
and he cut his epic in short lengths

eventually succeeded in printing it all

than the historic one brought by

JACKETS OF THE SEASON.
Garment Made Up in Particularly e.
fective Manner.

Many jackets this year are made up
so as to look very like dress waists,
but they open down the center in the
regular way and underneath is worn
the fine lingerie or silk bodice. One
model was exceedingly pretty in tan
or. rather, light brown broadcloth.
This Jacket was made with a wide
fitted yoke cut rather in the shape of
a sailor collar, and this was bordered
with a double row of soutache braid.
Below the yoke the cloth was laid in
six box plaits, that is, three on each
side of the center plat. and these,
opening out. allowed the material to
blouse slightly over the wide stitched
cloth belt.
Below the belt was q short shaped
hip piece. There was small round
collar OF hand embroidered silk.
through which was run black tafteta
ribbon, which, tied in q four-in.hand
bow. fell half way to the belt. The
cuffs at the elbows were embroidered.
with taffeta ribbon run through In the
same way as on the collar.

Screen for Sick Room.

A screen is indispensable in a sick
room. for it is needed to keep the
light from the patients eyes, to guard
the bed from drafts or to shut out the
sight of medicine bottles or any cor
ner of the room where work is done.
An emergency screen may be made by
using a small clothes horse for a
frame; it should be enameled in white,
then a pretty figured denim or Gre
tonne stretched and tackled to it; be-

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's hair
White but She Was Cured by
Dr.. Williams, Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which Is the cause Of your
suffering. That is the message which
a former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re.
lief but the pain Is sure to return with
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has
beautiful home at 81 Boulevard.
West. Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
"My trouble began about six years
ago and I did not rest as I should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After q time I became 80
weak could not do any work at all.
I had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top Of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times I saw black
spots before them. consulted sew.
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
Il lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost In despair
when a friend recommended DR.. vii.
liams' Pink Pills. tried them &C.
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end Of three
months had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble with
my nerves. I have been in perfect
health ever since and can heartily
commend DR.. Williams Pink Pills."
