Do You Open Your Mouth

Like a Young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you? ?
Or, do you want to know something Of the
composition and character Of that which
you take into your stomach whether as
food or medicine?
Most intelligent and sensible people
nowadays insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or as medicine.
DR.. Pierce believes they have a perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. So he

URbLEACHED MUSLIN
FOR OUTING FROCKS
Shirtwaist Suits and Even
Dressing Sacques-Colored
Linen Trimming.

One of the dressmaking departments
where shirtwaist frocks are made to
order is showing very trig gowns of
~unbleached muslin, trimmed with bands
of plain colored inen. The frocks are
made with gored skirts, which are per-
fectly shaped, shirtwaists with turn
down collars n three-quarter sleeves
with turnback cuffs. The skirts have
two bands of the colored fabri at the
foot, and the collar, cuffs and belt are
of the colored fabric. Unbleached mus
lin is also used by girls who Know the
Wear and tea on waists for fishing,
boating and hunting in the mountains.
The waists are of sailor style, made
whole. With no opening at front or
back, the necks left wide enough to
put the head through. The bottoms of
the blouses are worn over the skirts
and are rolled up once. The blouses
are of hip length. They are considered
smart in certain mountain resorts. I'm
bleached muslin is also used for dress
ing sacques. which are cut like pajama
jackets, only with more shapeliness,
and are finished around the neck and
down the front and at the bottoms of
the sleeves with a band of colored linen
or quaint patterned c%retonne.

Pioneer Of Prediqestion,

From the New York World.
Ferdinand Schumacher, the dead ''oat-
meal king" deserves more than q passing
tribute. He had won a double niche in
the temple OF fame. He will rank with the
Morses. McCormicks and Edisons as q
hero of invention. and among the Have
meyers and Armours as a captain OF In
dustry.
Schumacher found the American break
fast table a chaos Of pancakes, hot bis
suit and pie, and he left 1t a sweet SYM
phony OF cereals and cream. He was an
apostle OF ~predigestion among q dyspep-
tic people. Under his diet manipulation
the desptsed grain which DR.. johnson said
was food for horses in England and for
men In Scotland was transformed Into a
gastronomic delight. VIII Edinburg have

Thanks to him, corn. rye, barley and all

CORRECT FASHIONS
IN HANDKERCH|EFS
Color Applied in Many Ways
Pastel Shades Preferred
Monograms Out of Style.

1t was not so long ago that women
considered colored pocket handker-
chiefs incorrect. Now these are widely
used. Not only are borders of white
handkerchiefs in colors, but there is a
wide display Of colored stripes over the
surface.
The latest development is to have a
fine linen handkerchief in a light color
with a border in white II the initials
embroidered in white across the orner
Even when one does not care for so
has an embroidered design in a faint
color in the corner with the initials in
the center.
The empire design is still very much
favored. Mercury wings are considered
new and pretty and circles of solid m
broidery one-sixteenth of an inch wide
are used with the initials in the center.
All of these come in different grades
of linen and handiwork. 1t is not nee
essary to pay $1.50 for a handkerchief
to get it in the last style of coloring.
Those who nave plain white handker-
chiefs and want some fancy work to
take away with them in the summer
could get colored mercerized floss to
use in embroidering tiny block initials
across the corners.
The long family monogram has been
out of style for some time. There is no
interlaced any more. They are rather
widely separated. They are small and
done in the open block shape which is
easy to do and easy to read.
All the pastel colors are preferred to
the vivid ones. Red. purple and green
are avoided. Dull blue, pale pink and
light violet are used instead.

WHITE, RASPBERRY
AND APPLE CAKE,

White Cake.

White Cake.
In baking white cake use sweet milk
and baking powder i'll the usual way,
and add to the whites of six or seven
eggs while beating o one-half a
teaspoon OF cream of tartar.
Raspberry Cake.
This is a most delicious cake and
easily made:
One cup brown sugar, one-half cup
butter, two eggs, well beaten. one and
one-half cups stewed or preserved red
raspberries. Put juice and all in cake
right after the eggs. One teaspoon Gin
namon, one-half grated nutmeg, one
teaspoon soda dissolved in three table
spoons sour milk, two cups flour.
Mix n beat UP well n bake, loaf
shape, in a slow oven.
Apple Cake.
Silt flour in pan or bowl and warm,
then make a hole in center in which
make a sponge of one pint Of luke
warm milk and one yeast cake. When
thai has raised add three eggs beaten
separately, three-fourths Of a cup of
sugar, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt,
and n tablespoonful each of lard and
butter. Knead just stiff enough to han
die. Roll about one-third Of an inch
thick and let raise again. then lay on
thin sliced apples, sprinkled with sugar
and cinnamon and a custard made of
two eggs n one cup Of cream.
Chopped nuts o. c%urrants may be added
if desired. Bake in a moderate oven.

The HAIRLESS.

HioLA- LII ANeW 1OTk fFGSS,
Here they come at me again for pre-
v%entives of badness. How many times
must l repeat that no kind Of soap
should be used on the hair or head?
Vow here is the last call for dinner, as
the dining car waiter yells: Know all
women by these presents: Avoid all
fancy soaps. You never can tell where
the fats come from. BY no means APP
ni! a cake of hard soap to your hair.
You can never wash it out. 1t solidi-
fies on the scalp and causes no end Of
trouble. If you must use hard SOAP
of the fancy kind, ave 1t first into
light suds and wash your hair with the
suds. Then stand under a shower and
stay there until every particle of the
suds is washed away. Then go out and
sit In the swing until the pure air
blows all moisture away. The hair be-
ing dried. apply Ire olive oil and rub
it in hard. And quit using st~ink-sweets
(socalled perfumes) on your hair to
render it fragrant. Gods!

MARKING SHEETS

Why mark sheets with ink in a hap
hazard way? 1t is SO easy to find a
nice initial in newspapers or maya
zines which may be transferred to
sneets with carbon paper and then
slightest cost and with little trouble
a good and uniform marking may thus
be procured. and. If preferred. the let
ters thus marked may even be en-
In this day when engraved headings
are the rule, not the, exception. letters
Tor the whole names may be found, too.
The new vertical handwriting has done
so entirely away with the copper plate
spencerian hand of long ago. almost
no one now writes a hand or can make
letters which deserve to be perpetuated
on household linen in either ink or fine
stitches.

~APPETizING FISH DISH.

For an appetizing dish take the white
meat of a hicken n two sticks of
crisp, bleached celery. Chop them to-
gether fine: and season with salt, pep
per and vinegar. Allow this to stanf
a while, then squeeze dry. and add
two tablespoonsful of mayonnaise
dressing and mix well. Over some but
tered toast lay two or three thin slices
of bacon, and on TOP Of this spread
the chicken. If not Objectionable,
sprinkle chopped chives over the whole.
