a MoUei Candle Shade.

So many persons find the light from
a candle or lamp trying on the eyes
that they always Insist on shades of
some sort.
A pretty and novel affair for a can
ole may be made of strong wire bent
into rectangular shape. six inches wide
at the bottom, with the inner side
twelve inches tall and the outer seven
and one-haf. THIS will give a decided
slope TO each top.
Make two OF these frames and cover
them neatly with silk muslin or or
very thin liberty silk
This cover may then be painted or
1t can be studded in conventional de-
signs In sequins. Tie the backs together
with bows of narrow ribbon for hinges
and around the top and two shorter
SIDES sew boN-pleating of narrow lace.
The candle is, of course, placed be-
tween the two leaves when they are
opened wide Extreme care must be
taken 10 observe this precaution. as a
nre might easily result from such in
fammable materials in close proximity

AHent Embroidery Hoops.

II rings or embroidery hoops are used.
they should be frequently re-wrapped.
It is not unusual 10 see hoops in the
hands OF apparently dainty women so
dirty they are a disgrace to her cleanli-
ness. not to speak Of the TuinOusly black
lines they leave on the work.
The best covering for hoops is a very
thin tape about an inch wide wound so
that one edge just barely laps over the
other. AS a whole bolt Of tape may be
bought for a few cents, and the work
of wrapping is slight. there is absolutely
no excuse for dingy coverings
The silver rings in vogue several years
ago are really not very practical II
wrapped, they had much better be wood
and Il unwrapped. the inevitable tar
nishing. unless the greatest care is exer-
cised. will leave ugly stains on delicate
materials.
The two parts OF the embroidery hoops
should fit so tightly that a certain
amount Of pressure must be exerted to
ft them together after the work IS
spread on them. Fit the work smooth
ly over the lower ring before putting
on the top. II there is the slightest
wrinkle. or the work says. the effect
is much worse than If no hoops were
used.

Drinking at Meals.

Most physicians today will tell You
never to take any liquid, and least Of
all water, during meals. There are
however, two sides to the question
Those with a tendency to Rout or
other diseases arising from excess of
uric acid should avoid LIQUIDS until
two hours. at least, after eating.
For those without such a tendency
there is no harm In drinking a mod
crate amount at the end OF the meal
There is. therefore. sound reason back
OF the custom of keeping the coffee for
the last course Even when this pran-
dial drinking is permissible one should
avoid excess A little cold water held
in the mouth is often just as refreshing
as IL gallons Of the liquid had been con-
sumed.
The great American fault--or one OF
them-is the consumption of enormous
quantities OF ice water, which is really
deadly beverage and not ut for civil
lied man to drink-I emphasize the
civilized" for no savage would do
anything so stupid as to chill and para
lyze the muscles of his stomach IN the
belief that he Is cooling his skin.
The rules. then. are: A little waller

IS normal, not too cold. and taken at
the end Of the meal. And thus will
you avoid the countless Ills 10 which

Cucumber Sandwiches


Cucumber sandwiches must be freshly
made and kept cold until ready 10 serve
They are simply sliced cucumbers well
dressed with a French dressing OF oil

Put only one slice Of cucumber in each
sandwich. Arrange overlapping on a
plate and pass with cold meats or with
plain lettuce salad.
Plums With Cream.

Scald plums in this way for sauce:
1t IS the bitter oil in the skins that

piums are delicious when rightly cooked
and are also choice when poured over

Raspberry Fritters.
Who ever thought OF making raspberry
fritters? Skewer them on little skewers
three at a time and dip in frying bat
ter and then cook in hot oil. Draw out
the skewer before serving. Do not take
coverripe berries. Black raspberries may
be done in the same way
Cherry Pudding.
AS long as cherries are in market

Styles In Scents

There has undoubtedly been a great
reaction from the use Of perfumes. and
II has long been considered quite bad
form to use heavy coarse scents.
Whatever is used should be faint and
suggestive.
A sachet OF delicate fragrance put
among ones linen Is sufficient for most
women. with perhaps one or two drops
Of scent as an occasional addition.
Strong scents have been decided by
doctors TO be dangerous 10 the sense
OF smell and taste, and 10 affect even
the brain in time, so fashion is doing
good work I'm banning its excessive use.
Bags of lavender and rose leaves are
among the most delightful and delicate
way OF scenting ones linen.

LAND FRAUDS IN
 IMPERIAL VALLEY
Investigation Has Been in Pro greSS, but Result Is Not
 as Yet Known

LOS ANGELES, Cal, September 5.- Many rumors and much semi official act ivity continues with reference to re- peated charges of big land frauds in the Imperial valley.
 For several weeks l.. k. Glavis of the government land office at Oakls nd has been making quiet investigat on into conditions there. None of his fad ings has been made public.
 Today Sigel E. skinner, one of the early eomplainants, who has been car rying on private investigations, Iiade public many charges of frauduleny en- tries and illegal acts with reference to land titles in the valley. He in- stances many alleged violations of the law, giving names and the location of the land. In one case, he charges that 10000 acres have been illegally fenced in and the public prevented from mak. ing entries on it.
 The holders, Skinner says, have gone so far as to burn the houses of two squatters who took up locations on the land. They also threatened to shoot any intruders
 The charges will assume the shape of testimony in the first land contest ease from the Imperial valley, which is scheduled to be heard before the re- ceiver of the Los Angeles land office November 4.

 If the Democratic party is bent upon what Mir. Emerson longed for in cer- tain contingency-'a more effectual suieide,'' one that will kill it beyond the hope of resurrection--it will nom mate the twice rejected opportunist or ator--a mere political preacher and dreamer, who has never shown construc- tive ability nor demonstrated any capa- city for practical leadership But we do not yet believe the party is immovably committed to hari-kari, nor that Mir. Bryan will desire the nomination when the hopelessness of contest shall be apparent even to him.

Politeness ir. the Public Printery

"Hic jacet Joe. Hie jaeet Bill. "
 Such is the epitaph to be graven over the door of the public printing office in Washington, Public Printer Stillings having ordered that employees address each other as Mir. Smith or Mir. Jones Mrs. Brown or Miss White The vul- gar, "Hey, Bill, loan me your stock, is to be heard no more, and such greet ing as ooh, Liz, look out for that gal. ley!" is to be barerd forever The new method may cause loss of time, but the government has plenty of money and time is we'll lost in formalities, however foolish.
 How it must anguish the soul of the precise and bourgeois Mr. Stillings to hear the secretary of war referred to as "Bill" Taft! How it must rend his heart to hear of "Teddyo bear in stead of "Mr. Theodore Roosevelt bear! But the reformer's s spirit is proof against hurt; MT. Stillings may yet ex- tend his field of reform and have the nation talk of "Mr. Thomas" cats and "Mr. William" goats.-New York American.

DIPPING NOT FATAL ID ARIZONA SHEEP
Six Hundred Thousand Head of Sheep and Goats Dipped by Federal Bureau of Animal Industry Inspectors in the Territory So far This Year.

c. R. Ellis and D. K Morris, inspect ors of the federal bureau of animal in dustry, who have charge of a portion oi the dipping of sheep owned by Indians in Arizona, have just made their reports says the Democrat.
 ''The dipping season in Arizona is about over, although a few struggling sheep are still being dipped right along Since we began dipping several months ago, about 100000 sheep and goats owned by the Indians have been dipped two-thirds of that number being sheep, says Ellis.
 "Vory few sheep have died from the dipping, as far as we have learned At Houck 72,000 sheep and goats were dipped and only one animal died, and that was the first day. At the other dipping stations the work was complet- ed without any trouble. "
 In talking about the occasional trou- ble the inspectors have with natives American and Indian sheep owner, Ellis said:
 "We have practically no trouble with the Indian after he learns that we mean to rid the sheep of the scabies. The native sheep owner, however, generally raises kick. The American sheep owner realizes that his sheep will be worth more after they have been dipped and consents to the dipping at once" The bureau of biological survey is making an exhaustive study of the American birds and their value to the American farmer and agriculture in general.

MODERN PARISIAN DUELS
The Three Kinds--Some of the Tricks
 to Gain Time in Dueling

Duels are common enough in France nowadays, but they are robbed of their picturesque side. They may be divided into three categories, which place in the order of their frequency of occur renee: Journalists duels; duels which are the outcome of a tongue too well hung or fabricated by an overdose of alcohol, and, thirdly, those where the opponents are out to kill if they can. The above order also represents the de- gree of publicity accompanying each.
 Of those due to an ill-considered or ill-bred remark, comparatively few come to an interchange of shots or thrusts, but fzzle out after an interchange of cards. Morning brings more reason able frame of mind, and things are quieted down by those unfortunate in dividuals who have been selected as seconds. When such encounters do take place, at least one of the principals is only too desirous for privacy to be maintained, the safest possible condi- tions are arranged and one only hears about the affair after it is all over.
 The materials for disagreement are usually a night restaurant and the one extra bottle which might have been dis pensed with. Only yesterday morning a respectable married man found him self confronted in combat with an un- known Argentine with whom he had ap- parently had a disagreement the night before at a well known second-rate cos mopolitan cafe, much frequented be- tween 8. m. and breakfast time.
 Neither of the gentlemen quite knew what it was all about, but their seconds said it was all right, so they had to go The third type of duel is serious and very rare. It usually takes the form of a row about a lady.
 There are a good many tricks to gain time in dueling. Dropping the sword is one; resting the point on the ground or making a wide parry so as to scrape the ground is another. In either of these cases the point has to be sandpapered and treated with antiseptic or held in a flame, so that there may be no risk of a wound being poisoned.
 With pistols the conditions are ar ranged according to the seriousness of the quarrel. As a rule, dueling pistols at twenty-five paces are used. The duel ing pistol is muzzle loading and rifed. It's pull-off is regulated by the circum- stances; also the powder charge. Sec onds often arrange to put in only sufli- cient powder to drive the bullet out of the bore; sometimes they drop the bull let into the left hand when loading and hammer the imaginary one down the barrel.
 At duel which occurred not long ago one of the men was hit in the middle of his forehead. The skin was scarcely in- jured, and when he took off his hat, out fell the bullet, which had slipped up between the skin and the brim. House hold Brigade Magazine.

There are a great many people who have slight attacks of indigestion and dyspepsia nearly all the time. Their food may satisfy the appetite, but it fails to nourish the body simply because the stomach is not in fit condition to do the work it is supposed to do. It cant digest the food you eat. The stomach should be given help. You ought to take sametbing that will do the work your stomach can't. do.
