FOR WEAR WITH A
PANAMA SKIRT.

To wear with a Panama skirt, the SILK
waist is always appropriate. A black SILK
which Is not too heavy-for heavy SILK
breaks in the creases-is the best for TINS
purpose. A neat style for fashioning a
plain waist and give it n neat finish, is to
1t with a disappointed yoke OF black
lace all over outline with steel passe-
menterie. The sleeves can be made long
or short, for both are worn, though Tor
dressy occasions possibly the short ones
are the more stylish at present. The
sleeves should be full and finished at the
elbows with a fine shocking and steel
trimming. Finish with a black silk belt
trimmed at the back with a silk and steel
~rosette.

Why Graham Crackers Are Healthful.
Graham hour is the whole kernel of the
wheat, ground without boiling, or, In other
words, without being sifted through bolt
ing cloths.
Being the whole of The wheat, 1t there
fore contains all the nutriment of the
wheat, and has the additional virtue of In
creasing the activity of the digestion.
Graham crackers are the most delicious
food made from this flour, and are
especially desirable for persons of seden-
tary habits or occupation, because their
stimulating effect materially helps the
digestion.
The use of Graham crackers is also a
convenient way Of furnishing variety to
the diet, which alone helps greatly toward
good appetite and digestion.
The Graham crackers baked by the Ma
tional Biscuit Company are different in
flavor and better than any of the old
fashioned kinds. They are made scien-
tifically by perfected processes, which. pre-
serves the natural sweetness and goodness
of the wheat and gives them a delicious
nutty flavor entirely lacking in the
way. They are packed by the National
Biscuit Company In moisture and dust
proof packages, and are, consequently, not
only crisp. fresh and clean, but have lost
none of their original flavor.
A package within easy reach of the chn-
dren and a package on the table at every
meal will do much toward keeping the
! family in good health and spirits. To get
them, simply ask W for q package
Of Red Lake Graham Crackers, made BY

TO KEEP ROOMS
SMELLING SWEET

The odor from boiling onions, cabbage
or caulif1ower will be almost eliminated
If a soft piece of bread is tied up in n
piece of cheese cloth and dropped in the
pot in which 1t is being boiled.
II there is an offensive odor in the room
that will not yield to soap and water and
fresh air try this: Close all the windows
in the room. In a china basin put about
a quart of powdered chloride of lime.
Leave the basin in the closed room for
two days. At the n you will find that
the. chloride of lime will absorb the odor.
Throw it out and air the room thoroughly.
If you have difficulty in keeping the air
in a sick room fresh you will find that a
few drops of oil of lavender in a cup of
boiling water Is a very efficient deoderizer.

Stripes are by no means out of favor.
Iwo-tone stripes lin n COLOR are very

Braid is a smart and very Partisan finish.
Coats are either single or double

They are mostly in the flnger-tip length,
which means the tips reach the edge when

DINNER AND
EVENING COWS.

The high-necked dinner gowns for small
affairs depend for their beauty cnieny
upon the simplicity of their design ana the
soft tints OF the fabrics employed. OF
these desirable materials are the colleen

to the full demitrained skirts which lie
fluffy about the feet when the wearer
stands. Skirts of evening gowns are gored
only slightly at the back and rather more
obliquely at front and sides, the extra full

tiny folds that are stitched down for sew

The Summer Man and His Affairs.
That was a sad story in yesterdays
paper about the man who was arrested
in Atlantic City for making love to
every girl he met.
1t seems to me that he is little
different from the average summer
man, except that his methods are n
little more abrupt.
The majority of men seem to think
that making love to pretty girls is an
essential to the enjoyment of their
vacation. They HE themselves to d
coast or mountain resort, rush up to
their rooms, comb their hair and put
on a pair of clean cuffs, and in five
minutes are down on the hotel piazza
to note what attractions there are in
the shane of girls.
A pretty girl, a full moon and a good
amount of trees or ocean seem to amply
fill the summer mans idea of happiness.
Not that he means a word he says.
Far be it from him to be serious. He
Is Just spending his vacation" and he
wants it filled to the very top with
sweet memories, with which he can re-
gale himself during the long autumn
and winter hours at his desk.
The firty spirit is also evident n the
summer girl, who laughs and tries to
be CUTE and does a thousand h
funny little feminine things calculated
to catch the eye and win the heart OF
man. MOLLIE.

THE SHAPED GIRDLE.

The shaped girdle will certainly play q
part in the waist decorations this fall, and
one Of the most becoming styles is slightly
rounded in front. coming well down upon
the skirt. while the back is corset-shaped
only narrow. and finished with eyelets and
strings, fancy buttons or flat ribbon ro-
settes.

JARS FOR FLOWERS.

If YOU value you fine vases never place
in them large flowers like golden rod
branches of trees or large clusters OF flow

as is used for holding preserves, and deco
rate it with some glossy gray enamel, with
Dutch bands of blue, and you will have
strong and not liable to till

THROW PEPPER,
LAND IN JAIL
Burbank Theater Patrons COMPELLED
to Sneeze Against Their Will.
Prank of Youths May
Prove Costly

By throwing pepper into the eyes
and noses of the audience at the Bur-
bank theater and thereby making
things so unpleasant that sixty-one
persons left the house in disgust, while
the remainder of the audience passed
the time sneeZing, is the way G. S. Will
lis and G. B. Mong, young Minneapolis
men who are visiting in Los Angeles,
are said to have amused themselves
last night.
According to the managers of the
theater the young men engaged a box
to witness the performance of "a Tenn
perance Town" During the first three
acts they sat quietly watching the per-
formance but when the curtain arose
for the fourth and last act the audi
ence began to notice a difference in
the atmosphere.
"Sneezes arose" in different parts of
the house and soon men and women
were seen to arise from their seats and
leave the building. A young man who
sat near the door counted them and
claimed siXty-one persons left the
building before the curtain was rung
down.
Capt. Auble of the police department
was attending the play and was asked
to arrest the young men. 1t is said
they will be prosecuted this morning
by the managers of the theater. A
charge of disturbing the peace was
placed against the offenders.
