You saw his picture in

LINES OF THE FALL PETTICoATs
Radical Change in Dress Fashion
Necessftates Change In I'm
der garments.

Manufacturers Of petticoats have had
many things to contend with in making up
their new lines for fall and winter wear.
There has been a complete change in dress
fashions, and the. petticoat manufacturer
has had Ito meet the change in order to
get business. The. question of fit comes
first, and all of the up-to-date petticoats
closely resemble tight-fittirg tailored skirts.
Jersey yoke petticoats have been put on
the market, the lower part being made up
from the very softest finishes in silks. The
latest French models have been improved
on by American manufacturers, in order to
meet the requirements of the trade in this
country. In order to get the close fitting
effect, which is essential, the upper por-
ton of the petticost is gored, and the gar
ment, which is finished off with a ~flounce,
has patent fasteners at the side or back.
The habit back silk petticoat is also one
Of the most popular styles. The call for
silk knickerbockers has increased consid-
erably Of late. and for the American trade
these are finished off with ruffles which
fall from the knee, giving the effect Of a
divided skirt.

HOW TO AVOID WRINKLES
Woman should DO All Possible to
Retain Perfection of
~ Face.

~. ELs I'D ,1G4lls VI - H. 49,. 70" . --
a woman should be. censured for not do
ing all she possibly can to keep her face
free from wrinkles. writes a we'll known
expert. There is really no excuse for a
badly wrinkled- face in these days Of pure
cosmetics and sensible massage. It requires
very little time for the work. and 1t is so
simple, If properly done, that any one
can do It. Always leanse the face first
with cream before washing it. This will
prevent the water from making the skin
harsh. Wash thoroughly in quite warm
water in which has been dissolved a table
spoonful of powder borax, rinse we'll in
clear warm water, dry quickly. and rub a
good skin nourlsher over the face, massag-
ing 1t in by patting the flesh briskly with
the cushion tips OF the fingers, beginning
down on the neck and working UP and out
After massaging In this manner for fifteen
minutes, wipe off what oil has not been alb.
sorbed, and apply cold water, or, better
still, skin tonic. One will not have caus,
to worry about wrinkles II you will b,
faithful in this work every day.

LEARING TO TAKE REST
women Seem to Prefer Doctors Pre-
scriptiOn Than Much Needed
Sleep.

1t is strange that a woman must make
a great effort to learn how and when to
rest. 1t comes naturally to most TO rest.
1t comes naturally to most animals, but
the human animal defles this law from the
cradle to the grave Sleep is better than
medicine, all agree; and yet a woman will
take a tonic or pills or stlmulants instead
Of deliberately going to her room after
suppe or dinner and going to sleep. She
will prop her eyes open until 10 o'clock and
strain her aching nerves and muscles
rather than sacrifice the evening hours.
OF course she is alwav tired. She is never
equal to the vital occasions.
She always brings half her powers to
perfect any piece of work. She is the
woman of a hundred ventures and one
achievement. She needs sleep and she
needs rest, but she takes company, the
theaters, supper party OF trolley ride in
stead. Then she wonders why other women
do so much in the world and why she
never has time for anything. She should
learn to keen books and balance her rest
and work accounts every Saturday night
She would be the richer by 1t and she
would make all her family the happier.

The Stomach Does
Not Cause Dyspepsia
Neither Will 1t Cure It Because The
Lack Of Gastric Juices
Prohibit Relief.

The stomach is a strong, powerful or
gan, which is composed Of muscles Of
great strength. 1t is filled during dlges-
ton with gastric juices which, when the
stomach, extending and COMPRISING the
food, dissolve it and separate the nourish-
ment from the waste matter. II however,
these gastric juices are lacking, the stom-
ach is not capable OF digesting the food
because It has not the tools with which To
work successfully.
The gastric juices when in a perfect
state do away with all foul doors, fermen-
tation and decay, reduce the food TO a dis
integrated mass and the stomach then
presses it into the intestines where another
form of digestion takes place. Then the
lntestines take from this mass Of food all
that is nourishing and give it to the blood.
The waste matter is thrown from the
system.
II instead Of nourishment the lntestines
receive impure deposits combined with a
poisonous and imperfect gastric juice. it
can be readily seen that they must turn
such imperfect nourishment into the blood.
The blood then being unable to give each
part OF the body that which it requires,
becomes impoverished and disease is spred
broadcast.

jim PREFERS THE WELCOMES
Mayor Refuses Call of Party Until
Conventions Are Past.
TRIES TO MAKE HIT WITH WOMEN
Snaps His Fingers I'm Face of thu
Democratic National Committee
and Says He il His
own Boss.

Mayor Dahlman will remain peaceably at
home for another week before going on the
warpath for democratic votes. This is his
latest decision.
When the national committee allowed
him to come home from Illinois so as TO
bow the knee before King Ak-Sar-Ben and
welcome the delegates to the convention of
the League of American Municipalities 1t
was with the express understanding that
the first of this week would see Mr..
Bryan's closest personal and political
friend again enroute for the east to cor
raj votes for the head of the ticket and
John Worth Kern. But the national COM
mittee. reckoned without its host. Mayor
Jim has a mind OF his own and he simply
wiggled his fingers and told the powers
that be that he would go stamping again
when he got good and ready. He will not
be ready before October 10, possibly oc-
tober, Is or 16.
The chief executive had such a good
time welcoming the delegates to the munic-
ipal convention last week that he could not
resist the temptation to welcome the dele
gates this week to the national convention
OF rural letter carriers. Mayor Jim there
fore stayed in Omaha to tell the mail
carriers that il they will vote for Bryan
and help elect him that he would not de-
liver so many speeches in the future for
them to deliver to admiring constituents
and that he might possibly dispose Of his
Commoner, which in some localities adds
bulk to the rural mail.
Next Come the Women.
The address of welcome to the letter car.
riers has now been delivered, however, anC
1t would seem that the mayor could nov
leave for the east again. But, nay. nay
The Federated Women's Clubs of Nebraska
meet in Omaha next week and Mayor jim
is a great ladies man. He could no
miss that, even though his staying II
Omaha might mean the defeat of the Peer
less. The women begin their convention
next Tuesday and the mayor will on tina
day hand out to them a welcome that will
put all previous Dahlmsn welcomes com
pletely in the shade.
The convention of the women's clubs vii
be the mayors last excuse and he say
that he may leave the night of the frs
day for the east. or he may remain unit
Friday, the day the convention closes. Tn
mayor will pass up Old Kaintuck, tn
land of moonshiners and mint juleps, blu
will go direct to Ohio, where he will at
tempt to change the political complexiol
in Taft's home state. He will spend
week in Ohio and then go to New York TO
another weeks campaigning.
