The Cocaine Habit

There continues to he a dis
cussion Of the evils OF the CO.
caine Habit by the press in many
sections of the country and
wherever the evil gets a foot
hold it is a hard matter to root it
out. 1t is a species of drunken
ess INDUCED in generally by ne
groes, the women becoming fiends
as readily as the men. At one
time the habit of using cocaine
was INDUCED in by quite a num-
Der of the darkies around Tupelo
and the cooks of the place were
frequently found among the
number who had contracted the
habit. The housewives were first
to call attention to the growing
evil and the attention of the
Journal was called to it by som e
of the ladies of the place. Through
the columns of the Journal the
attention of the local druggists
was called to the evil and lmme-
diately the druggists stopped the
sale of cocaine to anyone without
a prescription from a physician.
By the united efforts of the drug
gists and the physicians the evil
was very soon checked and for
the past few years We have not
heard of a cocaine fend in the
place. 'If the druggists all over
the country void stop the sale or
it except on the prescription OF
the physicians, the evil would
soon be eradicated. The profit
derived from it's sale should not
induce the druggists to sell it to
people who abuse it and make of
themselves a curse to the COM
munity in which they live. We
suggest to the press that an APP
peal to the local druggists Will in
most cases be effective in put
ting a stop to the pernlclous
practice and evil,

John Alexander Dowie died
Saturday in Chicago after an i'll
ness of a year or more. Mr..
Dowie was the founder of the
Christian Catholic church and
one of the greatest organizers OF
his day. He accumulated mil
lions of dollars with which he or
ganized Zion City which he en-
deavored to make a model city,
and until financial reverses came
his plans were meeting with sue
cess. The younger element of
his church banded together to
rob him of the fruits of his years
of toll and succeeded in over
throwing him. His death fol-
lowed within a short time.

Collar Styles.

The linen collars and tabe are just as flat as pressing can make them. In the first place thes1inen collar is plain and shaped. There is a style which hearkens back to tho collar which was rounded at the back, the sides and hoilowed slightly under the chin. This is now the prevailing style. It may be fitted with jabot of the same, though the fanlike arrangement is pressed very fiat and has decided tailor eff feet. This does not mean that frills are not used for undoubtedly they are and la great numbers. Some of the prettlest fluffy collars of the season are dainty affairs of ethereal material. banded with pale ruching, A pale tan silk ruching attached to ecru face is very handsome, It must be fashioned to open In the back, for the tie in front must be arranged neatly and sewed in- to place for all time
 Other linen collars are made with small mercerized cotton dots worked over the surface. When iioned with a gloss they are very pretty to wear with white or colored waists One collar made with white dots had each minia- lure dot outlined with narrow black ring The small black bow at the front gave @ dainty touch.

Time to Wind Your Watch.

You wouldn't think" said watch- maker, that 1t would make any differ ence whether a watch is wound up in the morning or at night, but it does make considerable difference.
 "When watch is wound up at night coming out of warm pocket, and laid dow nor hung up in cool place, the handspring will contract by the cool ing off of the metals Being wound up tightly all chance of contracting has been shut off and the spring is bound to break.
 If however, the watch is wound up in the morning, having partly run down through the night, there is room enough left in the barrel to contract Another reason why it should be wound up in the morning is that the spring will then have more power and thus will be in better condition to resist the disturbing movements of the bentsf duiin% t p7vii
 Being generally in horizontal po- sition during the night and running with less power, the horizontal posi- ton, in which the balance runs more freely, will operate to make the length or the swing of the balance wheel dur ing the night as nearly as possible the same as in the daytime"

of all eolors and tones. The return of Venetian beads to favor, of pearls, garnets, etc, that have been laid aside for years is in evidence. It is a poor necklace that is not in line with the hour for one costume or another. Indeed, where 8 woman formerly thought herself we'll off with single necklace, there is now need of sev- eral if the color scheme of her toilets is to be carried out. Never in the his tory of dress did the jeweler and the dressmaker work so hand in hand as to-day
 There is a story of a fashion king in Paris who started the present craze for jewelry that harmonizes in tone with the rest of the toilet. His son-in- law was jeweler and the dressmal1er displayed the jewellers work on the gowns shown in his own salon. Rich clients saw the point and the fashion for harmony of color and design be- tween the gowns and the ornaments worn with them was established. The artist in this line cares little whether a stone is valuable or rot so long as It accomplshes the work for which It is needed.

4 Study of PurpIes.

The strong purples, of which there is a goodly sprinkling both in street and evening costumes, are rich in gold and silver trimmings and frequently costly furs lend regal elegance to the wrap or toilette. Chinchilla is much to the fore in this capacity and very attrac- tive are the light violet shades with silver and chinchilla furnishings. For the woman with only rev gowns pur- pies are too conspicuous to make them practical choice. But of the lovely soft dahlia and pansy shades one may select gown that will retain it's quiet elegance so long as there is a thread of it. These tones are so universally becoming that they do not go out of fashion as do striking shades.

woMENs HIGHER EDUCATION.
President Eliot Thinks It Should Re-
 oognize Maternal Function.

Higher education in the future should recognize the fact that tie ma jority of women take up the occupa- tion of training children, the married ones as mothers, and many of the un- married ones in the interest of moth CTS. Training children IS .he normal occupation of woman, anf. lts imp ort- ance in education has probably nor been recognized because it has mt hitherto been regarded as an intellect ual pursuit Yet, it is the most in- tellectual occupation in the world, in no matter what walk of life. It calls always for great moral and carefully trained mental powers. What a great power reading mothar has to train the minds of her children. This nor nal occupation of woman should be the main object henceforth in the ed ucation of women, and no longer should her education be mere irnita- tion of that of the man. On such basis believe higher education Will truly perfect the home life and house. hold joy. It is certainly not the chief end of a woman's life to enter mans occupation, as was advocated for her It is high time that that idea If an education for her was abandoned md that the aim should be 10 develop in woman the capacity and the powers that fit her to make life fuller If in- tellectual enjoyment and happiness, more productive, physlca ly, mentally, and spiritually. lili)t, of Harvard, in Leslies Weekly

Wash Your DraperieS.

The dusty portieres you wish to clean should be thoroughly shaken and placed in washing machine in the yard and covered, not just dampened, entirely with gasoline. Throw some thing over the machine to keep in tho fumes and leave for at least half an hour. DO not attempt to rub or squeeze out the dirt, but gently life out the curtains place evenly on the line and allow to drip and dry. When dry beat lightly with a rattan carpet beater. The gasoline loosens dust and dirt and the gentle beating throws it off the same as dust, You will find they are perfect ly clean. Leave as long as possible in the hot sun, since heat kills the dis agreeable odor.

Cominu---SmaII Hats.

The little hat, say the prophets, is going to take on huge trimmings. Such models indeed, are already here and answer the difficult problems for wo- men past their youth Some hats of the kind come in blocked felts in small mushroom shapes, lifted slightly from the head and trimmed at the front with big square bows centered with big buckles. The hats are trig, of small ex- pense, and go excellently with plain tailor-mades, and they are becoming to almost any one.
 Jet and bands embroidered in coiers are being used extensively for the front brims of turbans worn by mat ,rons for dressy occasions, and they are also employed with excellent effect around high crowns of velvet or felt shapes. The jet and Oriental embroid- cred bands are worked on net with, in both. cases, mixture of, coarse. dcss embroidery. The bapds embroidered in color hrigthen up dull toned suits.

A remnant of sausage, If any was left from yesterdays breakfast, cut in thin shavings and scattered about will be found piauant addition, Add the gravy. Do not let 1t come above the meat or 1t will mix with the potato and spoil the appearance of the dish. For a pint of meat with cup of broth have ready about three cups of mashed potato, seasoned with salt and pepper and thoroughly beaten with butter and little cream. Spread a layer of mashed potato over the meat, then put the rest on with pastry bag and star tube, or you may do very artistic work with only common spoon. Brush over the potato with the yolk of an egg beaten and diluted with tablespoonful of milk, Bake in ovtn till meat is heated through and potato is drowned, If leftover nash ed potato Is used 1t must be heated and we'll beaten till smooth.
