cHICORY FIRST USED BY DUTCH.
War Blockade Responsible for Discov-
cry Of Good Qualities of The Boot

Although chicory was probably known
and used by the ancient Romans as a pot
herb. It remained for the Hollanders
about 200 years ago to discover that the
roots of the chicory plant dried. ground
and roasted produced a drink like coffee,
both palatable and healthful.
During the Napoleonic wars a strict
blockade Of the continent of Europe was
maintained and all importatlons Of coffee,
tea and cocoa ceased. This forced the
people to turn to chicory as a beverage
and it soon came into general use.
So good was its taste, so rich was its
aroma that the new beverage at once be-
came exceedingly popular with the good
Dutch housewives who are known the
world over for their ability as cooks.
After the war when ample supply of
coffee could be secured. the Hollanders
were loath to give up their chicory. AS
a result they blended coffee and chicory
and produced the good old Dutch coffee
now served in nearly all hotels, restau-
rants and homes In Europe.
Not only did this blend produce that
rich aroma and flavor, but it was found
that chicory counteracted the bad effects
OF straight coffee. Those who found ordi-
nary coffee injurious drank the combina-
ton and 1t proved both refreshing and
healthful.
Thus it is seen that chicory has been
used for centuries in Europe, where it is
fee.
Americans began using chicory as soon
as they realized it was put on the mar
ket to improve the quality of coffee and
not in any spirit of dishonesty. Fortu-
nately the new United States pure food
law requires all makers to state on their
packages what the contents are and this
protects the buyer from all substitutes
for pure coffee and pure chicory and in
sures a grade equal to that from which
the old-faShioned Dutch beverage is made.
Through our foreign born citizens so
consistently demanding it. the merits of
chicory have become known by word of
mouth until those who have heretofore
been disappointed in securing the rich.
full coffee flavor in their morning bever-
age have found that by buying coffee
mixed with chicory, they secure the exact
combination they nave been seeking.

If a lump of butter is put into the

Velveteen makes capital polishing

Nail stains may be removed from

To wash white silk use lukewarm

soap, and iron with just a warm iron.
1t is the yellow soap, too hot water

TOOK TIME TO DO KINDLY ACT,
Proof That New Workers Can on DC.
casions Be ChivaIrous.

That Rev Workers are not in too
much of a hurry all the time to be
thoughtful and kindly was illustrated
the other day in Nassau street, when
the wind was playing such havoc with
umbrellas that a man with a taste for
statistics counted just ten blown into
wrecks in the space of % minutes, says
the New York Press. Just as this di
verting spectacle was at it's height
in front of the quick lunch restaurant
a poor. woman, with a basketful OF
newspapers hung over one crooked arm
and a baby snugged up close to her
body in the other, came down the
street trying to make way against the
wind and still shelter the baby under
a shabby excuse for an umbrella.
Just as she was in front of the res
taurant a particularly fierce blast of
wind blew the umbrella backward,
carrying the baby's cap off with it..
Instantly nj man bolted from the
door of the restaurant to her aid, two
men on the sidewalk grabbed for the
tiny cap and a fourth started on a
jump across the street to the woman's
aid. Two Of the men put the cap On
the baby's head and another held the
umbrella over the mothers head while
they were doing it. The fourth man
looked as if he had been injured deep
~ by not having a hand in the good
work. He salved his hurt feelings by
putting a coin in the baby's fingers.
Then every n in sight looked as
pleased as Punch, and the traffic went
on its wind-blown way.

Change in Coiffures.

The new styles in the spring hats
will necessitate a change in the Golf
fure. The excess of false hair is to
be done away with and the puffs and
cur]s will disappear somewhat.
Fillets of gold or silver braid are
shown to splendid advantage when
wound around the couture. The use
of roses on each side of the head is
distinctly oriental. For a young girl
a wreath made of silver leaves is very
effective. AS the spring hats will be
worn slightly over the face, instead of
on the back of the head, this will
make the wearing of a high back
comb a possibility. The braids and
puffs of last season must either be
abolished or arranged in some new
manner

PLEADS FOR COLOR HARMONY.
Tints That Vibrate Will Rest and

That harmony Of color has its effect
by a milliner.
Take a well-appointed table, for in
stance, with its scft-shaded candle

hats. 1T pleases the eye, relaxes the
nerves and one forgets under its spell
the brutality of feeling.
AN unshaded clear white electric
light is enough to take away the appe-
tite from eve the hungriest man. 1t
is like eating under an X-ray.
Take the soft rose lights of the
dining room of the Carleton in Lon
don, for instance. l mention it be.
cause it is the most perfectly har-
monious room as to coloring that |
know of anywhere.
THE ONE look pretty, the men
does not have to resort to the vulgar
cocktail to see the rosy side of life.
The pink shade answers the purpose
quite as well and saves the digestion.
America has much to learn on this
subject. Most of it's hotels and places
of amusement are most unbecomingly
treated. And l maintain that n rea-
son American women wrinkle so soon
is that they have to face such strong
lights.
There is no vibration in black, and
yet it is the favorite apparel of the
multitude. We are Overrun with black
birds; sometimes they vary it with a
wash of white; then they become mag
pies.
Il designed a hat the other day for
a most interesting woman, a Buddhist.
1t was like weaving a Persian rug.
The materials were all in half-tones,
and so becoming.
Il do not sacrifice the individuality
of my clients, either, to my creations,
but study the lines and contours of the
head, the face and figure, and match
the tones that have the proper color
vibrations to suit the hair and the
eyes.
Only in this way can one expect
results which are altogether happy
and distinctive. There is no mystery
in it at all, only common sense, as you,
l am sure, will agree, once you have
thought it out"

Transmitted Snake Bite,

An extraordinary case of snake poi
soning is reported from a country hos
pital in Victoria, MS. w. An old man
was brought in in a comatose state
and showing all the symptoms of hav-
ing been bitten by a venomous snake.
But on investigation it was found he
had been bitten by a dog, which died
almost Immediately afterward from
snake bite. Medical treatment was
successful, and the man gradually re-
covered from the snake poison which
the reptile had indirectly transmitted
to him.

Corset Novelty.

A decided novelty is a new corset
which proposes to support the back by
pressure of two crossed straps inside
the back of the corsets, the ends of
the straps being anchored to the front
steels on the outside. Seems almost
like the proverbial lifting ones self
by the boot-straps, yet the inventor
says that it not only rests the back,
but gives the wearer the very best
new figure" with fiat back and slen-
der hips. Furthermore, that the back
steels can never turn and dig into the
flesh, be the corset laced ever so tight
ly. For the sake of suffering woman
kind, it is to be hoped that this back
resting corset may prove to be all that
its designer claims for it.

Greatness and goodness are
marred by self-consciousness of
the possession Of such qualities.
When a man comes to feel
that the success of the cause of
righteousness centers wholly
within himself his practical USE
rulness has ceased.
Nc work of reform ever de-
Ponds wholly upon n mans ef-
forts.
The more a man realizes that
he is not absolutely. essential to
the success of any good work,
the more effective will his ef-
forts be.
The mission that is not bigger
than its leader is not Of God.
The discouraged leader of a
reform always fails to see the
"seven thousand" who are still
loyal to God.
God always has ome one
ready to take up his work which
another n lays down.
"What doest thou here?" is a
searching question, when God
asks it.
When a man gets ready to
listen to the "stiII small voice"
OF God he is in a condition to
understand himself better and
to know that loyalty to God is
as possible in another as in him.
self.
To see only the wickedness in
the world is poor preparation to
the carrying on Of Gods work.
One may be so busy looking
for the workers of iniquity as to
wholly miss those who stand for
Righteousness and truth.
No Christian ever has any
business being a pessimist.
1t is the busy people whom
God calls into his service.
Faithfulness to present duty
is preparation for the larger
mission.
In the field Of busy toll is the
most likely place of meeting
Gods prophets and catching the
inspiration of their message.
