MAID WEARS PRINCESS APRON.
Is Alike and Vet Unlike the Conven-
 tionaI Model.

Quite the newest idea in maids aprons is the Princess model, and this, as it's name implies, suggests being cut all in one piece.
 AS matter of fact, however, only the front in the form of a panel and about four inches of the lower edge are cut in one piece, the remaining portions carrying out the design of the conventional models, to which the panel part is connected by means of strip of embroidery insertion. The material is gathered at the top and takes into the belt from the panel, closing in the back without ends.
 Shoulder straps of the insertion edged with frill support the apron from the bib, buttoning to the belt in the back. Another variation of this style has a plain front panel, the side portions gathered into a belt at the top and hemmed and tucked on the bottom
 The front is then joined with the in- sertion, while a third, closely follow ing these lines, shows a ruffle, instead of the hem and tucks, headed by the insertion, which, however, does not ex- tend across the front panel.
 This kind of apron will be worn by the up-to-date waitress and chamber maid. They may be bought for from $1.50 upward, according to quality and decoration
 For madam's personal attendant the English lady's maids apron is the pre- ferred model. This is like the style worn by nurses, being very large and full, with hem five inches deep on the bottom, which in it's turn is button holed in round scallops on the edge. The apron completely covers the dress, and is taken into a plain belt with gathers.
 The commodious pockets for holding brushes and other toilet requisites are hemmed and scalloped on their upper edges to match the hem.

VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA.
Suffered Three Years-Physicians Did No Good-PerfectIy Well After
 Using Cuticura Remedies.

q take great pleasure in informing you that was sufferer of eczema in a very bad form for the past three years. I consulted and treated with a number of physicians in Chicago, but to no avail. I commenced using the Cuticura Remedies, consisting of Cuti- cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, three months ago, and today I am perfectly well, the disease having left me en- tirely. I cannot recommend the Cuti- cura Remedies too highly to anyone suffering with the disease that have had. Mrs. Florence D. Atwood, IS Crilly Place, Chicago, H., October 2, 1905. Witness: l.. s.

BAD DREAMS
Frequently Due to Coffee Drinking.

One of the common symptoms of coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that spoil what should be restful sleep. A man who found the reason says:
 Formerly I was slave to coffee. was like morphine fiend, could not sleep at night, would roll and toss in my bed and when I did get to sleep was disturbed by dreams and hobgob- lins, would wake up with headaches and feel bad all day, so nervous I could not attend to business. My writ ing looked like bird tracks, had sour belchings from the stomach, indiges- tion, heartburn and palpitation of the heart, constipation, irregularity of the kidneys, etc.
 troubles that human flesh could suffer, but when a friend advised me to leave off coffee I felt as if he had insulted me. I could not bear the idea, it had such hold on me and I refused to believe it the cause.
 "But it turned out that no advice was ever given at a more needed time for I finally consented to try Postum and with the going of coffee and the com. ing of Postum all my troubles have gone and health has returned. I eat and sleep we'll now, nerves steadied down and I write fair hand Gas you can see), can attend to business again and rejoice that I am free from the monster coffee"
 Ten days trial of Postum in place of coffee will bring sound, restful, re- freshing sleep. There's Reason" Read ''The Road to Melville" in pkgs. Some physicians call it "a little health classic"

How supremely important that the farmer who would hold his cotton off the market to force the price up should be out of debt, No matter whether he puts his cotton in a warehouse or keeps it at home, if he has to get ad- vances on it in order to pay his debts he is in no shape to control the mar ket. He may get money from the bank and worry the buyer for little while, but the banker will worry him later on. The only show is to make what you live on and live on what you make, as nearly as possible, until you can snap your fingers in the face of the cotton buyer.-Abilene Farmers Journal.

aRIzoNA's GROWTH.

The fact that Arizona has increased its assessed value during the past year twenty-five per cent will certain ly open the eyes of all who learn of this rapid growth While not all of this increased wealth has been creat- ed during the past year, nevertheless the fact that Arizona is finding a way to get all it's property on the assess ment roll is a creditable incident in the growth of Arizona
 A copy of the assessment roll of the territory for the year 1900, seven years ago, shows the total to have been s3S, ,7S2. .465.99. The abstract of the assessment roll for this year, as published last week, gives the total amount of assessed property at S77,- 372,156.11. In the year. 1900 all the mines in Arizona were listed for only 41,1S1.52, while this year the min ing property of the territory is as sessed for total of s20,9O4, ,4OLO7.
 The mining property of the terri tory shows the greatest increase in value since 1900. The next in import ance in showing increased value is the item covering city lots and i'm provemenfs. City lots and improve ments on them were assessed seven years ago for a total of s9,173, ,410.5s. For this year this same class of prop erty is assessed for s19,034.eS9 95, a gain of nearly s1o 100000.
 We find that the value of land in the territory. other than city lots, has increased something more than $2, 800, 900. Range cattle show a falling off in seven years of about $20o.OOO This may be attributed to two causes; a severe drouth lasting two years in 1901 and 1902. which re duced the herds by death. and the fact that the forest reserves and the taking up of homesteads has curtailed materially the amount of open range lands. There are 1OO. .Oeo more sheep in Arizona now than there was in the year 1900, according to the assess ment rolls.
 The increase in assessed miles of railroads in 1907 over 1900 is nearly four hundred. There have not been four hundred miles of railroad built in the territory since 1900. but this increase in part comes from the fact of several lines being exempt from taxation in 1900 that are now subject to taxation.
 About the var 1900 began the great est mining activity in the history or Arizona and this activity of develop meat has continued from that time to the present, resulting in great ex- pansion of the industry in all of the old districts and the starting of pro duction in many new and heretofore improved districts.
