Taft Stuck In Phone Booth.

George Bush, one of the electri-
clans of the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, now visiting his father
here, tells this story Of Mr.. Taft:
After the candidate had taken up
temporary quarters at the hotel at
Hot Springs he had to enter a tele-
phone booth of the usual size, and
stuck hard and fast. A hurry call
was sent to the office of the tele-
phone company and carpenters, with
saws and hammers, extricated Mr..
Taft. The company, to avoid further
trouble and as a mark of especial
esteem for Mr.. Taft, erected a new
booth which eclipses every other
south of Mason and Dixon's line in
size

Germs In Books,

There is no doubt that all books
kept for a long time in libraries and
other places become the abode OF
the germ and microbe. To prevent
this French professor has introduc-
ed a method of disinfecting the
books. They are placed in an oven
under pressure, in which the evap-
Grafton of a certain liquid causes the
breaking up of the aldebydes. 1t is
said that all sorts of books, big and
little. can thus be disinfected without
harm to the cover, the paper Or the
binding.

THE NEW STYLES FOR WOMEN

IF the new gowns have conSpicu-
Gus note at all this year it Is in their
trimmings, which seem to stand out
in bold relief" says Grace Margaret
Gould, in Woman's Home Companion.
Much soutache in all widths and
heavy cotton braid are used, in white
and dyed to match the fabric. In the
skirt-and-coat suits the outline Of
the coat is shown by the line of braid
ing, and either braid or buttons not
infrequently trim the back.
"Tassels are very much used wher-
ever place for them can be found.
The heavy and the fine laces are fash
ionable in combination for trimming
both gowns and separate blouses.
Very narrow satin pleatingS are
much used as a trimming for silk
voile and net gowns. They are often
introduced in some brilliant shade,
such as Empire green, on a gown of
neutral tint. Pleatings of this style
frequently simulate a bib effect on
the bodice and outline a tunic effect
in the skirt.
Buttons are used not only where
they are needed, but where they are
not needed on the new gowns. For
the tailored suits there are the fabric
covered buttons and the braid but
tons.
The white and colored cotton
crochet button is extremely high
style, and for lingerie waists there
are the new pearly pead buttons"

ECZEMA SEEMED INCURABLE.
Body was Raw-Discharged from
Hospitals as Hopeless-Cuticura
Remedies Cured Him.,

"From the age of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life was
made intolerable by eczema in its worst
form. In spite of treatments the disease
gradually spread until nearly every part of
his body was quite raw. He used to tear
himself dreadfully in bis sleep and the
agony he went through is quite beyond
words. The regimental doctor pronounced
the case hopeless. We. had him in hos.
pitfalls four times and be. was pronounced
one of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as incurable.
We kept trying remedy after remedy, but
had gotten almost past hoping for cure:
Six months ago we purchased set of
Cuticura Remedies. The result was. truly
marvellous and to-day he is perfectly cured.

who Is working most patiently and

TIGHT LACING NOT HARMFUL

From all over the country letters
were received by DR.. Ernest Gallant,
of New York City, concerning his
views as to tight lacing, the pad
ding" of the form feminine, and kin
dred subjects which he recently dis
cussed at the meeting Of the Amer
lean Medical Association.
There's no reason why thin women
shouldn't use pads" said the doctor.
"And there's no reason why stout
women shouldn't use corsets tightly
laced, provided the corsets conform
to the lines of the body. Tight lacfng,
scientifically done, is not injurious to
health"

SHIRT WAIST SUIT STILL REIGNS.
The really practical wash dress is
in shirt waist or jumper form. Shirt
waist suits which are extremely at
tractive are made up in cotton prints
having silk or bingham patterns; in
French zephyrs; and in ginghams of
such beautiful patterns and in such
charming combinations of color for
morning wear, for the ordinary shop
ping, or marketing, or walking, that
they have particularly appropriate
air. Therefore they are attractive.
Many little buttons are used on
dresses Of this sort, especially those
covered with cotton crochet. There
is a fancy, too, for giving them but
tons of quite a different character

Tigers Long Swim For Prey.

A correspondent at Penang trans

is somewhat curious, since tigers in

heard an uproar in his compound
at dawn and rising hurriedly found
a tiger creating havoc among his
pigs. He fired at the intruder and
killed him in one shot at short range.
The animal was eight and a half
feet long and stood three feet high
at the shoulder. Investigation show
ed that the tiger had swum across
from the mainland province Well

TRANSFORMATION In Egypt.

1t is a curious fact that the Nile
and most of the canals in Egypt run
north and south. The wind blows
nearly all the year from the north,
and thus furnishes the cheapest pro-
polling power for boats going south.
When the boats return north the
rapid current Of the Nile is the mo-
tive power. The regularity of the
wind and the steadiness of the cur
rent are two reasons why boats pro-
PEELED by any other power are so lit
tie used. Time is not so important
an element in business in Egypt as
as in some other countries, and it
does not matter, therefore, that
boats propelled by wind or current
are slow.
