KEEP GARMENTS IN CONDITION
Hint for the Woman Who Would
Appear Well Groomed.

The woman who always looks well
dressed and well groomed, although
her pin money is but half of yours, is
the one who never let's her clothes
wear out
When she discards any garment it
shows no unsightly rents and tears
or any spots and stains; it simply is
worn too thin for further use. She
mends the instant need appears.
Mending is lost art nowadays.
There are few women who can mend
intelligently. This perfectly groomed
woman, however,, keeps threaded
needles in her pin cushion, where they
will be ready for instant use. A rip
or split in her glove is mended as soon
as 1t appears and the braid of her
skirt is mended before she catches
her heel in it, endangering her life or
at least her bones.
The braid that is beginning to fray
is ripped of and turned, or replaced
with new. The little jagged tear,
where she caught her skirt on a nail
is mended with piece of adhesive It's
sue such as is sold at the notion
counters for just such mending
Woolen underwear is patched be-
fore there is hole. The thin spots
are detected and carefully covered
with patch before they wear through
and when any undergarment is too
far gone to make further patching
feasible 1t is cut down for children's
wear.

feet condition II all spots are removed
as soon as they appear and creases
are smoothed away by careful and
thorough pressing

Flowers Much Worn.

Flowers are more the rage than
ever, whether real or artificial, and
they are worn in lunches on the
blouse or tucked in the buttonhole of
the Jacket OF course, now that Dame
Fashion has decreed that one MAJ
wear silken flowers as well as those
created by Mother Nature, 1t is not
particularly expensive to keep on
hand stock of orchids, gardenias,
azaleas and poinsettias, and these are
the ones that are most popular. When
natural flowers can be worn they are,
Of course, preferable. but the imita-
tions are now SO perfect that very lit
tie difference can be noticed unless
the delicious fragrance is missed. This
is sometimes supplied by a good per-
fume. Strange to say, this spring
many women are wearing autumn
leaves instead of flowers, which really
does seem slightly OUT OF seasor.

You and your sparring partner
must practice the left lead and parry
conscientiously. over and over again,
for 1t is very important. Let the shoul-
der go with the blow to add force.
Don't stand stifny. but put the weight
OF the body into each blow. BY this
do not mean you are to slug Slug
ging is not boxing. 1t is to be avoided
In all friendly bouts. But you can put
shoulder and weight into blow with
out knocking your opponents head
on Lead lightly, but with power, so
that you could, If necessary, lend to
the blow all the weight and strength
OF your body. Let me repeat my eau
ton of last week not to draw back
your arm before leading. Lead from
the regular position in which your left
hand rests when you are on guard.
III you draw back your arm preliminary
to striking 1t does not add force to the
blow and It warns your antagonist
what you are going to do.
Now for the right lead for the face.
Stand on guard Leave your left arm
in the regular position. Lead with
your right hand for your sparring
partners face. Let the hand go in a
straight line from its position in
guarding your solar plexus) to his
face, rising at the same time on the
toe of the right foot to add force to the
blow. Do not bend the knees, but put
shoulder and weight into the blow as
in the left lead. Keep the left foot fiat
on the ground. Do not twist the body
awkwardly. as Is sometimes the ten
dency when thus leading with the
right.
To guard right-hand lead for the
face, raise the left arm. keeping the
elbow lower than the wrist, throwing
the forearm out and upward and turn
ing the hand out. Try to catch the
blow on the fleshy part of the forearm;
or, when more expert, merely push
your opponents blow outward Ito your
right by letting his wrist or forearm
hit your right forearm. and then
throwing your arm slightly to the
right In either case it is better to
hit his wrist or forearm and throw 1t
outward in parrying than to rely on
merely stopping his glove. For in a
regular fight he would have on no big
glove and might slip in past your
guard were you depending solely on
stopping him by means of hitting his
glove aside.
There are, of course, more intricate
guards, such as catching" your op-
ponent's glove in the palm of your own
and pushing 1t aside; or slapping his
blow aside by hitting him on wrist,

glove or forearm with the heel" or
the palm Of your own glove. But 1t is
better to leave these more difficult
guards alone until you are more ex.
pert.
Having perfected yourself in these
right and left leads and parties for
the face land 1t cannot be done In a
single lesson), try the right and left
counters for the face, which shall
now teach you.
First, the left cross-counter for the
face:
Stand on guard. Let your sparring
partner lead for your face with his
left. Now, as you are standing, his
blow would strike you fairly in the
middle of your perspiring countenance.
But, as the blow comes, move your
head sharply to the right and at the
same time lead for his face with your
left. The result will be that his blow
will go harmlessly past your head,
and your left fist will catch him
squarely in the face. When I say
move your head to the right" do not
mean turn your head sideways" but,
keeping your face still toward him,
move the whole head Gust as you used
to move 1t in lodging a parental box
on the earl. His blow will go where
your face ought to be, but will merely
encounter thin air. Your left will
hit his unprotected face, and his own
impetus will lend force to your blow
as he runs into 1t.
The Elbert County tribune., 1908-05-21
USE OF LEFT LEAD
AND HOW TO PARRY

The right cross-counter for the face
is somewhat similar:
Let your sparring partner again lead
for your face with his left. This time
move your head to the left instead OF
to the right, and lead for his face with
your right But bring your right arm
around outside Of his arm Chat is. to
the right OF it,, so that your blow will
reach his face instead OF merely COL
iiding with his outstretched left arm.
Those two counters are among the
most effective tricks In boxing, and

Tulle is chosen for the veil in nine
cases out of ten, even whero the bride
can afford lace. 1t is very soft and

the veil is of tulle it should be as long
as the train and 1t may be edged with
lace. When lace is used for the entire

CLAIMS GREAT DISCOVERY

Rudolph NJ Hunter of Philadelphia claims
to have discovered the secret for which
kind has been seeking vainly since the days OF
the ancient Egyptians. that of the transmutation
of the baser metals into gold. What the process
is he alone knows; for even to his he has
confded only part of 1t. 1t Is his intention
that the secret shall remain in his own family.
If Mr. Hunters claim be justified. and he is rec
ognized responsible man with wonderful
inventive genius, he will demoralize the curren-
cy systems of all the countries in the world;
they will have to find metal the basis
of their currency. for II gold is produced in large
quantities 1t will depreciate in value more than
even silver has done. 1t will be more yalu-
able than copper.

Discovery" is not so good for
acute coughs arising from sudden
colds, nor must it be expected to
cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that
but for all the obstinate hang-on,
or chronic coughs, which, if neg
lected, or badly treated, lead up to
consumption, 1t Is the best med
icine that can be taken.
It's an insult to your intelli.
gence for a dealer to endeavor to
palm off upon you some nostrum
of nnknoun composition in place of
DR.. Pierce's world-famed medicines
which are OF KNOWN COMPOSITION.
Most dealers recommend Doctor
Pierce's medicines because they
know what they are made of and
that the ingredients employed are
among the most valuable that a
medicine for like purposes can be
made of. The same is true of
leading physicians who do not hes
itate to recommend them, since
they know exactly what they con-
tain and that their ingredients are
the very best known to medical
science for the cute of the several
diseases for which these medicines
are recommended.
With tricky dealers 1t Is diff.
ferent.
Something else that pays them
little greater profit will be urged
upon you as "just as good, J." or even
better. You can hardly afford to
accept a substitute Of nnknoun COM
position and without any particular
record Of cures in place of Doctor
Pierce's medicines which are OF
KNOWN COMPOSITION and have a
record of forty years Of cures behind
them. You know what you want
and it is the dealers business to
supply that want. Insist UPON it.
