Departmentary Commissioners.

The most sensible and businesslike

country to hear COMPLIMENTARY OF

1ngiy. While all the plans for the
new regime have not been completed,
1t is expected. says System Magazine,
that the departmentary commissioners
will be assigned TO groups of states
remote from Washington, and that Of
ices will be opened in such cities as
Chicago. st. Louis, San Francisco and
st. Paul. The deputy commissioners

adjust minor difficulties. The depu.
ties, OF course, will have no rate-fixins
power. but will report testimony to
tile commission itself somewhat as a
master in chancery conducts court
hearings. The interstate commerce
commission is fairly buried in com
plants that have been piling up TO
months. and although it has been ac-
lively at work, the task still! ahead of

FRILLS FOR WAISTS
THEY WILL BE POPULAR ADORN.
MENT.
ne Plated Ruffle or Extended Jabot
Still Counted as an Important
Feature.

The plated rufile or extended iabot
whlch began to appear on the spring
waist IS now one of the most import
ant or the characteristic features of
this seasons waists. In every sort of
material from fine real lace to taffeta
and even heavier silks it figures as a
necessary part OF the new waists
adornments. The plated rufTies sepa-
rate from the waist and ready to be
pasted, pinned or buttoned to any
waist IN the wardrobe at the wearer's
convenience are now sold in all the
shops and are as popular as the cuff
and collar sets. These detachable
RULES reach from the collar band
10 the belt and are TO be worn with
SIX or linen waists. according to their
quallty and material. There are rufies
OF Nalenciennes trimmed with baby
irish or guipure, Cluny ruffies and
northumberland rufies with inser-
tons and edges of lace These are for
wear with fine embroidered linen. silk
or ponSee waists and are meant to
peep fetchingly forth from between
the fronts of fancy jackets of taffeta
They are extremely expensive if
bought ready made, especially. of
course, if the lace be real and the en-
broidery hand work. But the fashion
Is particularly good one for those
who have fine laces and embroidery
which they have stored for years. as
even such bits may be successfully
utilized TO trim the rufies of fine
handkerchief linen and the fashion is
not difficult one for the amateur
needle women to follow successfully.
All that is needed is a double niece
OF lace-edged material, which NAV be
as simple or as elaborate as one
wishes. These pieces are joined I'D
the middle and knife plated with fine
plaitings. The width of the iabot
varies to suit individual taste i'm the
style OF waist or jacket with which il
is to be displayed and so home ma
terlals may the better be utilized to
make these attractive ruffies.
For the simple shirtwaists the ruff
fes are of slightly heavier linen and
are often embroidered with colored
dots or with vines and buttonholed
scallop edges in color, pale pink. pale
blue and lavender being the favorite
hues. These ruffles for the heavier
waists are also trimmed with narrow
edges OF colored material and witL
bands stitched down the middle of the
same contrasting hue. These double
edges and bands of colored linen deco
rate the ruffles in much the same way
that handkerchief borders are used.
Although the linen employed for the
rufiies for heavier shirtwaists is not
quite so diaphanous as that used for
the very finest and thinest lingerie
waists, it must still be both sheer and
line Really heavy linen would not. of
course, make suitable ruffies Batiste

AFRAID OF PARALYSIS
A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
BY Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
The Medicine Tina: Makes Rich, Rec
Blood and Performs Wonders as q
Tonic for the Nerves. ,

Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explain.
why remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DIR. Williams Pinh
Pills for Pale People arc also for nervou.
people.
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be.
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people--but the
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of the
body. DIR. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit.
able, ailing people into strong, energetic.
