Some Of the light and black voiles
have self stripes, which make the ma
terial a little hrmer and easier to man
age But voile is clearly to be one Of
the best fabrics for the coming season,
and wool voile will wash like calico
If necessary. The silk voiles will not.
There is a cotton voile made after one
Of the new methods, which make ii look

voile. it being mercerized. It is less
than a fourth the cost OF the other.
but it does not wash OF wear well.
The separate waist dies hard and, In
fact, is not dead yet, for there are as
many as ever. the only thing being
that nearly all strictly tailor gowns
have a tightly fitting waist, with a
more or less pronounced vest. These
waists are to be worn without other
wrap than perhaps a fur piece Of some
kind. The woman with the fine figure
now has her chance TO look well. With
the loose waist fronts all women looked
alike.
1 had intended to mention in con-
nection with tea gowns that dotted
mulls and swisses will be seen In
great numbers the coming season, and
the amount of lace employed in their
ornamentation would stagger any one.
There was one dress on which the dots
were as large as nickels and about two
inches apart The skirt was loaded
with three eight-inch fiounces OF the
material cut on the straight Then be-
tween each two dots the hem was slit
and turned in so that 1t left a van
dyke edge, and this edge had a mar
row valenciennes ruhie. The dot thus
came TO the middle Of every point, and
the lace at the edge gave the whole a
beautiful effect with little expense or
labor The loose kimono effect In the
sleeves is seen in most OF these light
dresses and II allows for much orna-
mentation. Ribbon is put wherever II
can be made to 60 and ribbon is never
misplaced and is always a graceful
trimming. OLIVE HARPER.

FISHERMEN HAVING.
POOR SEASON.
Many Suffer Losses TO Their

There probably never was a season
in which fishermen met with such hard
luck as this year. Aside from the fart
that shad are scarce the fishermen have
lost considerable in damaged nets by
vessels passing over them.
There wasn't one man who went
fishing yesterday" said one man today.
that didn't suffer loss of this kind
zone mans net was run over five times
by the same vessel, a schooner, which
was taclSing I'm the Delaware river.
Others were run over two and three
times"
Two men went out today for the
first time since Wednesday. on We'd
nesday their net was so badly damaged
by boats running over t.. that It took
them until today to repair it. Another
man was required to buy $50 fathoms
of new net today as a result OF u boat
destroying the old one. Taking all
these things into consideration there IS
little wonder that shad is high priced.

A Future For Wild Plants.

Some of the edible wild plants may
yet be trained to taste appetizing. and
IN these days when any one who dis
covers a new way Of preparing an old
dish or a new food that appeals to the
palate is hailed as a benefactor Of the
race it might be worth while to take
up some OF the most promising Of these
and see what can be done with them.
Young poke, for instance. tastes won
derfully like asparagus if cooked and
dressed in the same way, and poke
will grow in almost any locality. When
the plant is old it is poisonous and is

Wash day used to mean long days
drudgery with hot fires and steam and nasty
smells. Fels-Naptha has changed all that.
Fels-Naptha has made wash day as pleasant
as any other day, because Fels-Naptha has
made washing easy.
More than million women are wash
ing clothes with Fels-Naptha in cold or
lukewarm water, without boiling or hard
rubbing. Washday has no terrors for them.
And the drudgery of household cleaning is
ightened, too, by Fels-Naptha 1t whitenS

surfaces without dulling the varnish, re-
moves grease spots and stains in carpets,

have so fine a complexion and eat
something better than weeds"
Aside from the question Of the beau
ty of Miss Timpkins' complexion. it is
worth knowing that many so called
weeds are edible which we are accus-
toned to consider altogether useless
The department of agriculture in
Washington some time ago made a
long list Of plants ordinarily consider
ed useless, but which really make nu-
tritious food. The North American In
dians use many roots and plants for
food of which the white man knows
nothing. The red man cannot under
stand why any one lost in the forest
should starve when all about him are
the means OF subsistence. Most OF
our garden vegetables are wild plants
trained to their present perfection aft
er years Of skillful cultivation.

the Joy of the household, but the
slave, imprisoned i'll the cellar. All
but it was delicious when the Old

great kitchen around the huge fire
place. All the evening we told stories
ate doughnuts, drank cider, all the
time pairing apples and hanging the
long festoons Of quarters from the
beams. But the dear little mother

while she was knitting mufIiers and
socks or mending our we'll worn cloth

those days, and as for thrummed pi

At 9 o'clock, honest and drOWSy, we
knelt and thanked God for life an(

and trundle beds were all in close
proximity, and from every one OF
them we could see the flames, still
jumping up the chimney while the bis

at Iron River have been arrested
during the past week charged
with selling liquors to minors.
They have been brought to Bay
field and there arraigned in the
Justice court. The cases have
been continued for several days.
While we have always been in
favor of the proper regulation OF
saloons to the end that there
may be as little disturbance as
possible, if the stories that come
from Iron River are true re
garding the method of procur-
ing evidence, then someone else
besides the saloon keepers
should be made to suffer and
should be punished with more
severity than the men who act,
ually sell the liquor to young
boys. 1t is said that boys have
been supplied with money and
then sent to saloons for the pur-
pose of buying liquor and it is
even said that they have been
supplied with money and sent to
the houses of i'll repute for the
sole purpose of securing evil
dence againat the institution for
violation of law and decency.
If it is necessary to make
criminals out of young boys to
secure evidence against these
persons, if it becomes necessary
to degrade the morality of one to
convict another then the original
yiolaters should be left alone.
We do not care whether these
persons repre- ent the Civic
league or any other organization.
No pers( is more DESTROYS of
law enforcement then the editor
of this paper. butif these stories
are true then let them violate the
law or let the men secure the
evidence themselves, and not
get it at the expense of young
life. It is said the same tactics
were used at Ashland. We are
free to admit that we would
rather let the saloons violate the
law then attempt to secure evil
dence of the violation by having
young children get it. The
parents of these children should
take the matter in hand.
The Civic league has been
great instrument for the COM
polling of law enforcement, but
when an organization Of this
sort stoops to such practices
they have forfeited their right
to the respect of fair minded
citizens.
