London, July 17.-what is known
as the directoire or sheath gown will
be confined In England to actresses
and women OF the 'lower classes" No
woman in London society viii dare
wear the clineins gowns which have
created such sensation on the conti-
nent. When the directoire mode first
made its appearance, several English
society leaders received It kindly and
for a time the sheath gown was in
high favor. Now 1t ID back to the
moth balls or the second hand clothes
men for these daring gowns. For
Queen Alexandra has spoke, and what
she said in regard to the directoire
mods. In American slang. was a
plenty"
Her majesty has caused It to be
known that any woman wearing .
pronounced directoire will not be re-
ceived at court functions. The queen
told her ladies in waiting that the new
gowns are immodest and caused
caustic warning to be conveyed to q
certain titled lady distinguished for
her beautiful figure who displayed 1t
at Ascot in a directoire sheath. The
ladies in waiting have been also com.
manded to notify other women OF her
maJesty's displeasure with the reveal
ing directoire costumes.
At big ball three ladies wearing
these emphatic gowns could scarcely
make their courtesies to the queen,
and at supper they found much diff
Guilty in sitting down. So dIspleased
was the queen at this unpleasant ex-
hibition that she expressed her indig-
nation openly and left the bali before
supper was ended.
As result OF her majesty's de.
cision, many smart society women
with good figures are nursing secret
rage. The fat women, and the scraw,
ny ones, are exultant, and declare that
the queen did well to put the ban of
her displeasure upon such "immodest"
and vulgar" displays Of the figure
as afforded by the sheath gown.

LYDIA E. PINKHHM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
Of women or received so many gem
uine testimonials as has Lydia T..
Pinl1ham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia e. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any wonananyday may
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia e. Pinkharn's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

men, Jesus sought TO eXpanu the rev.
slation of God, and beneath 1t all,
with prophetic note, gave the ideal re-
lationship of life, that of father and
son. Did time permit we could con-
slider the many lights between God
and man. Jesus came and in His ear
her years lived in simple communion
With His Father, before He gathered
about Him His twelve disciples. He
prayed in the mountains and prayed
Tor the forgiveness of the sins of the
world. He set the right relation be-
tween Son and the Father-a per-
,onal relationship. He never lost
hope in all His suffering, but trusted
IN His Father. In His life He would
tell us that the infinite relation Is that
IF Father and Son.
Not only would Jesus teach us the
IDEAL relationship between God and
men, but He lived the life between
man and man. Should we follow the
brecepts of Jesus, this relation of
nan to man would be one of sacred
example. Follow the teachings Of
Jesus and get all the power and po-
,entiality that is in you. Develop self
BY developing others. Find life by
losing 1t. 1t will be a victory for self,
The inner self. By the Word of God
we are one, or nonresident. Jesus
tells us of Gods relationship.
How can any one ask, knowing
these things and Gods relationship to
man, how He effects our salvation?
Can any one be convinced and say,
Can Jesus save Me?" He demands
IF us our love. He demands that we
follow Jesus and do what He did. He
demands that we follow Him as Jesus
did and secure salvation by His for
giveness. We know that the penal
lies of sin are awful, for Jesus has so
taught us. The truth that I am
small He has impressed upon me, but
that I am to become larger through
hope and forgiveness know through
His word. Jesus calls upon us to be
prophets in His name. We can take
His teachings throughout life, but we
DO not follow them. That is not rec
ignition of the word. He has done
His part and we should do ours. He
eannot make us or we would not be
personalities.
Jesus said to the multitude, Chris
tians, follow Me, and as the apostles,
they left and followed Him. Jesus
calls us up from our worship of gold
and the money gods which we serve.
He called to the people, love Me more,
and they worshiped Him. He calls to
us. love Me more. By Thy mercy we
will hear Thy call and will serve Thee
by love and service best of all.

WOULD-BE CLEVER GIRL.

Many a girl thinks it clever to be
cutting and sarcastic, and wonders
why she is unpopular.
She has a gift Of mimicry, and
thinks it oh so smart to touch up the
weaknesses of her friends.
She is full of openly expressed
views that her elders are tottering on
the verge OF the grave, and calls the
girl who has been out two seasons
back number"
She thinks knowledge was born
with her, and graspingly refuses to
credit others with share.
She believes she is attracting favor
able notice by loud talking in public
places, and scorns the suggestion that
she is making herself conspicuous.
She gives advice on every known
subject, and thinks those who do not
take it wanting in common sense.
She biaZons abroad the little she
knows, foolishly thinking it will pass
muster as a fine education.
She poses as artistic or musical or
literary, and bores everyone with her
textbook opinions.
She fancies that to be uncensorious
is to be out OF date, and makes her
self a byword with her backb1ting
gossip.
She believes that eccentricity in
dress is a sign of great originality,
and fortifes herself against criticism
by the lordly idea that her critics are
ignorant.
She thinks it smart to defy conven-
tions, pertly calling those who would
restrain her "old fogies:: York

TIE


of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet

In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and

on the merits of the laxative for its remark

ONLY SeIf.Supporting.

It Is told that Cyrus Leland, while
pushing his candidacy for the Guber-
Material nomination, wrote a letter
to Kansas farmer asking him for his
support at the primary.
Answer this letter, daughter, p"
said the farmer to his fifteen-yearold
girl, of whose penmanship he was
proud, when the letter reached him.
Tell Uncle Cy that l am too busy in
the field to do anything for him. Tell
him I'm working early and late to
get in my crops"
The girl waited until her father
had gone back to his fields, and then
penned this short note, which she
thought told the story: Papa has
all he can do to support himself with
out supporting anybody else." She
mailed it.-Kansas City Journal.

"The common people heard Him
gladly" That phrase may be mis-
leading. What Mark says is not that
the common people," but that the
much people heard Him gladly"
He does not mean to refer to low
er class of people. The Bible never
calls this sort of people common, !"
and it was not the lower class Of
people that came to Christ in the
crowds. There was the Pharisee, the
Sadducee, the ruler, the publican,
the poor man-all classes were
drawn to Him. Where He came caste
straightway melted away. When He
came into Simon's house, the poor
harlot, who had ever crossed the
threshold before, went right in and
came to His side.
For this reason Jesus tan no more
be the head of a labor church than
of a capitalist club. He has nothing
to do with men in sections. He deals
with man as man, and when He
looked out upon the crowds He did
not see Pnarisee Or publican;
He saw a man, son of God by crea-
ton. He saw as God saw.-Rey.

Comradicity OF Hotel Men,

A rare feeling of comradicity ex-
lists among the hotel men OF the
United States. The recent startling
suicide of Frank V. Bennett, one OF
the best known hotel men in the
country, g :rr-ner proprietor of
the Gotham, in New York City,
brought out such a volume of mes
sages of coincidence and sympathy as
might have followed the death of a
leading statesman. An incident
growing out of Mr.. Benefits untime-
ly death was the suicide of Mr.. George
Crouch, at one time a power in Wall
Street. Mr.. Crouch had lived at
the Hoffman House, in New York,
for many years. Happening to hear
it's veteran managing clerk, Maj. A.
Il. Peacock, comment on the uGfor-
tunate death Of Mr.. Bennett, Mr..
Crouch, without a moments hesita-
ton, fastened into a brokerage office
at the hotel, locked himself into an
inner room, and fired a bullet into
his brain. On the table by the side
of the dead body was found a pack
of cards.. en- top of which lay the
sew of spades, known by fortune
tellers as 1.-The sign of death. From

Sugar As A Disinfectant.

Prof. Trilbert, of the Pasteur In
stitute, at Paris, has demonstrated
recently that burning sugar develops
formic observation-disclosures one of
the most powerful antiseptic gases
known.
Five grams of sugar (77.16 grains)
were burned under glass bell hold
ing 10 quarts. After the vapor had
cooled bacilli of typhus, tuberculosis,
cholera, smallpox, ETC., were placed
in the bell in open glass tubes, and
within half an hour all the microbes
were dead.
If sugar is burned in closed vessel
containing purified meat or the con-
tents of rotten eggs the offensive
odor disappears at once. The pop
ular faith in the disinfecting quail
ties of burned sugar appears, there
fore, to be well founded.

Notes For Workers.


Here are some good suggestions for
League workers:
Find your work where Christ has
put you"
Seek to make at least one spot of
the earth brighter by deed Of
yours"
when you begin to worry, do not
forget that God still has control Of
everything.
Christ has redeemed and lifted
you up. that you. in turn, may lift up
others.
= If you truly love God, your heart
will be filled with His Spirit, and you
will be obedient to His commands
The true Christian is like the sun,
which pursues his noiseiess track, and
everywhere leaves the effect OF his
beams in blessings on all
Zone has well said that our chief
concern should be. not to obtain
higher places, but to fill well the
places We already hold. Better fill a
humble position well than occupy one
above our ability. "-Pittsburg Chris

Peril OF The Collar Button.

A few days ago the news columns
carried the story of man Y. " was
stricken with a serious case o. :"
tigo while cropping under the |
for his elusive collar button. Still
later appeared the story of an East
ern man who was overcome by heart
failure after a violent struggle with
a refractory button that refused to
connect a tight collar. In each of
these instances the victim was stout
man of full habit and presumably
of apoplectic tendency.
The collar button has been the
plaything of the fippant writer's for
a long time. Its amusing FRANKS,
it's almost human perverseness, its
power of effacing itself when most
wanted, have united in a striking il
lustration of the moral obliquity of
inanimate things. But when the but
ton forgets its harmless mission and
becomes an adjunct to tragedy, it
can ne longer hope to be regarded
in an amusing light.-Cleveland

MuZzling The Cannon.

Two recruits stationed at a fort
overlooking the sea were examining
one of the fort guns. One suggested
that they should let it off, adding
that nobody would be any wiser.
They loaded the gun, and one of
them said he would hold a bucket
over the muzzle to drown the sounds
so that they would not be heard.
The gun was fired, and the shell and
bucket, with the soldier clinging to
it, went flying gayly out to sea. An
officer Immediately rushed up to the
remaining soldier to inquire the
cause of the commotion.

Tight Corsets Ruin Girls Voices.

1.-THE voices of some women speak
ers often make those possessed of a
musical ear wish for DEATH" said
MmeVon Klenner, discussing 'The
Vox Humana' before the Rainy
Daises yesterday afternoon at the
Hotel Astor.
"Voices,'' said she, "have become
worse and worse with civilization till
at the present time, as a nation, Amer
leans are known for their bad voices.
The responsibility for this chiefly
rests on the strain and effort used in
speaking in subway and on elevated
trains and on the crowded streets.
1t is also due to a lack of control of
the vocal organs due to too tight
clothing and undue pressure on any
part of the body or the lack of knowl-
edge of the formation and molding
