VARIETY OF BLOUSE SURE.
Clothes That Please Alike the Little
Boy and His Mother.

For the little boys nothing is prettt
Or than the blouse suits, and these
allow of almost infinite variety and
charm. Just now the black and vel.
ret and velveteen with the big sailor
collar scalloped with white silk, and
worn with white shield is much liked.
Dark blue velvet and velveteen are al
ways handsome, and, for the very tiny
boys, white ribbed silk Is charming
the extreme. Again, the black suits
either in pique or of silk, with the re-
suit that even while style and cut re-
main the same there need be nothing
more like monotony in the tiny boys
costumes than is found in his sisters.
For the older boys the tuxedo is the
accepted costume, but 1t can be made
of velvet, velveteen or cloth, as pre-
,erred, or as seems most appropriate

with them are worn black pumps, ex-

Some New Mack Ornaments.

Among the really useful trinkets
may be counted the flexible metal sup
ports for collars. The newest Of these
are shown set with diamonds or sap
ohires. In this form they make de-
cidedly satisfactory substitute for
other materials. There is nothing
more becoming to woman than a
simple ribbon or band of black velvet
around the throat, and these ribbons
are now decorated with jewels, span
yles and tiny beads. Seed pearls on
velvet are lovely and for older women
steel beads and paste on black are
most appropriate.

MAKING a Bib for Baby.

OF all the things that handkerchiefs
are made into there Is nothing pret-
tier than the baby bibs. The hand
kerchief is folded diagonally In half,
not quite through the middle, as one
.orner should hang little above the
other when done. Then cut out and
shape the neck, fInishing'it either with
plain French seam or with dainty
sdge Of fine lace. If the baby's mono.
xram Is worked on one corner the
BIB will be so much prettfer. Half Of
one OF the oil silk dress shields is
saGted underneath the bib to make
9 waterproof.

WEDDING VEIL
LATEST FASHION CHANGE IN
BRIDAL COSTUME.
"corone" idea Has Proved Very
PopuIar-Arrangement That Adds
Height to the Wearer-Better
Than Old style.

One of the latest fashion changes is
ding veil to make it distinctly be-
coming feature of the bridal costume.
Heretofore wells have been worn in
rather a set style simply because it
for years. But the new coronet veil
is proving a great success with almost
every type of bride. The idea of the
arrangement is to give height to the
wearer. The soft outstanding puffs Of
tulle add two or three inches to the
brides stature, and they also impart
an added amount of dignity to her
orange-crowned head.
Tulle is used for these wells as it is
much softer than lace and much more
becoming than heavier meshes, unless
the lace happens to be ivory tinted
with age. Besides, tulle is far more
easily draped than heavy lace. First
the veil is put on over the head in the
usual way, then the front ends are
caught in series of outstanding puffs
that encircle the front of the head
These are confined to the hair by a
small wreath Of orange blossoms worn
like a coronet The traditional flow
ers do not dominate the head dress,
but form delicate finish as they lie
half shrouded in puffs of tulle.
The coronet veil arrangement is be-
coming from all points of view, a thing

What To Do For a Cough.

There are SO many pet ways of
treating coughs and colds, and so
many friends ready with all kinds
of advice, that, when a cough is
contracted 1t often bothers per-
son to remember what they did for
the last one.
The following homemade RENE
dy, kept in the home ready for use,
will overcome an obstinate cough
quicker than any expensive medi-
cine you could buy. Any woman
can make it in few moments
here is the recipe:
GRADUATED Sugar Syrup 1871 OF.
Pinex ................... 2k OF.
Put the Pinex in a clean pint bot
tie and fill up the bottle with the
syrup, made as follows: Take
pint OF Granulated Sugar, add "
cup OF water, stir and let boil just
a moment. Take teaspoonful ev-
cry one, two or three hours, as re-
quired. This recipe makes a full
pint of the cought syrup, and II
kept well corked, it will never
spoil. Tastes so good that child
rem will take 1t without kicking.
This simple cough syrup usually
stops a deep-seated cough in "a
hours. 1t is also excellent for
colds, whooping cough, bronchial
troubles, incipient consumption,
pains in the chest, etc.
Pinex. as you probably know, is
the most potent form of Norway
White Pine Compound. 1t is very
rich In guaiacol and other elements
which make the ozone of the pine
forests such splendid medicine for
throat and lung troubles. There are
many pine oil preparations, but
none Of these compare with the
real Pinex itself. If your druggist
does not happen to have it. he will
be glad to get it for you. The 2h
ounces cost you fifty cents. The
Syrup costs you about four cents.
| So you can make a whole pint of
this effective Cough Syrup for
about fifty-four cents.

TAFT WILL WIN
AN EASY VICTORY
IN "OLD BURNT
Continued From Page One.)

congress. While Mr.. Watson has Sc
cured many pensions for old soldier
claimants he has been unable, be-
cause of the limited quota of pension
bills allotted to every congressman, to
satisfy more than a small percentage
of the applicants, and he has also to
reckon with the irrepressible disap-
pointments that grow out of the post
office patronage.
Some of Mr.. Watson's most aggres
sive political enemies in the district
are men who enjoyed the lucrative
salaries of their local postoffices for
four years by his recommendation and
who felt themselves grievously wrong
ed when he insisted that somebody
else should have a chance to hold the
office after the four years term had
expired.
Still the situation is very much i'm
proved so far as Mr.. Watson is con-
cerned, compared with two years ago.
Four years ago his plurality in Wayne
was 1850. Two years ago it slumped
to 346. The political experts here be-
lieve Mr.. Watson will carry the coun-
ty this year by at least 1900 which
would be a creditable showing. since
the plurality of 1904 was abnormally
large. A very important part of the
Wayne county antiWatson element of
two years ago is with him this year
on the county local option issue.
Watson Outlook Favorable.
Mr.. Watson stands to lose some
votes in his home county of Rush,
| where the Rushville postoffice has
| long been a bone of factional conten-
ton, and in Fayette he will run be-
hind Taft, but, generally speaking. his
fences throughout the district are in
| better shape than two years ago.
Il have made a canvass of the dis
| trict and have visited a great many
precincts said District Chairman Ed
Haas, land l am satisfied that in four
counties of the district Watson will
pull ahead of the national ticket. In
| four of the others he will fall very
slightly behind the national ticket and
of course, will suffer his largest loss
in Wayne county,
| The fact that this is a presidential
year means a great deal, from the re-
publican point of view, in Wayne
county. In the presidential year of
| 1904 the total vote polled in Wayne
county by Mr.. Watson was 1902. In
1906 the total vote polled by him in
the county was 4031, falling off OF
/ Sill votes. In other words, A per
cent of the voting population did not
go to the polls two years ago. This
year interest in the national election
will once more bring out a normal
vote, and that means increased ma.
/ iorities for the republicans all along
the line. That a full vote, such as is
| certain to be drawn out in a presiden.
tial year, is harbinger of republican
success was shown in 1904, when
Stokes Jackson, the present democra
i tic state chairman, was the democra
tic nominee for congress against
James E. Watson, who piled up plur.
ality of 1884, while two years ago, in
an off election. Watson's plurality
over Thomas H Kuhn was only 1,506
At that, Jackson received 1,417 more
votes than Kuhn. The ''stay-at-home
republicans" in Wayne county cut
