IDEAL coLoRs FOR SUMMER.
Brown and Pink Are About tho Only
Shades Not Favored

A color that will remain firm
throughout the season is that bright
corn color that can be trimmed with
brown, yellow or white. 1t is found
in stripped effects in chiffon, silks,
lawns and the better grade OF swiss
materials. Green of the light sage
color is used great deal for street
costumes. Always is 1t frightened
more with white. The dark white silk
lining is fancy of the season, too
Blue is so universally favored that 1t
is found everywhere. Red Is much
favored as hat trimming, also neck
wear and for shirt-waist purposes
though not for dress purposes. Brown
is not a favorite shade this season,
neither Is pink, though the various
lavender colors are plentifully used,
especially among the thin materials.
White and yellow-especially where
the latter is used for border effects by
young women. Many thin materials
will be found on the evening dress
worn showing stripes an inch wide
will be found made into the one-piece
princess frocks, though the glazing
lines are almost covered with drapery
of a solid color. Some very clever
patterns appear in styles of this kind.

command and a company wheeled
from the road-the blue river
swept on.
Again came the flash, and soldier
fell with a harsh crash of accoutre-
ments. A rolling volley answered and
the bullets made little swirls of dust
on the breastwork.
For half an hour the fight kept on,
then the fire from the hill top ceased.
The company stormed up the hill and
topped the low embankment q.
then they paused, and the captain who
had led them raised his cap.
Within the wall-stretched upon the
ground-was the form of a single man,
tall and sunburned man, clothed in
a uniform of ragged gray. Beside him
was an empty cartridge box and a
musket Scratched upon the stock Of
the gun was the name Jim Baker"
And, the captain being a man Of I'M
derstanding, they wrapped him in the
silken folds of the red battle flag when
they buried him.

After Willie's mother had repeatedly
admonished him for having to be re.
minded, night after night, to pray for
a certain old lady friend of the FAM
lily who was very i'll, the boy broke out
one evening at prayer time with an
excuse for his apparent negligence.
Il don't see much use in prayin' for

mother.

door who used to give me lots of
cookies and apples?"

Ornaments.

China and glass ornaments should
be washed in water not too hot, in
which little soap powder has been
dissolved. In washing the dishes of
china cupboard change the water
frequently, taking care not to put too
many dishes into the basin at once,
in case they strike against each other
and become Clipped.
Hand-painted china and all kinds
decorated with gilt should never be
allowed to stand in water, especially
If 1t is very hot. as such treatment is
sure to injure enc decoration.
A soft dry brush is necessary for
cut glass. To dry it thoroughly use
plenty of sawdust as this will alb
sorb the moisture where the brush
cannot reach.

TO DANISH INSOMNIA
SOME SIMPLE METHODS OF IN
DUCING SLEEP.
Drugs Always the Last Thing to BE
,Recommended-Light Supper
Frequently Will Cause
DroWsiness.

When woman has insomnia she
had better resort to normal means Of
letting rid of 1t than to take drugs, for
habit has much to do both with sleep
ind the inability to induce 1t, and II
some simple remedy can be found to
break the custom of hearing the clock
chime the hours through the night, no
injury will be done to the health.
Sleeplessness, unless caused by Ill
lealth, and sometimes even then, is
largely a result of nervousness, and
therefore whatever relaxes the nerves
IS likely to effect cure. Incidentally
persons whose appetites are not good
are not likely to eat enough at the
evening meal to last them through the
night, and the stomach becoming
empty, they are kept awake. For such
sufferers light supper, taken just be-
fore getting into bed, may induce sleep.
When a late meal is taken to bring
irowsiness only easily digested foods
are to be INDUCED in, for heavy meal
that stimulates the digestive organs
may often bring sleeplessness.
One of the best insomnia remedies
for nervous woman is to take a hot
bath just before getting into bed. In
this bath it is not necessary that
there be any soothing ingredient, for
the heat is relaxing. In the tub the
body should be immersed for Is min
utes in water that is hot without be-

ing exhausting. After leaving the tub
the person must go directly to bed
and sleep in well ventilated room.
1t is excellent to have glass of
milk on stand by the bed where it
can be reached in the night without
getting up. Then, If wakefulness
comes, the liquid should be taken slow
ly, and it is likely to be helpful in
quieting the nerves of the body, as
well as of the stomach. Those per-
sons who cannot drink milk will find
beer good substitute, and English
stout" is food, drink and medicine
for those who can digest 1t, and If 1t
is diluted one-half with ale, glassful
taken before going to bed is often
recommended by physicians for women
who are anaemic and nervous.
Lack of sufficient ventilation in the
room is frequently the cause of sleep
less nights, for unless the lungs have
enough oxygen they cannot work prop
erly, and restlesspess and nervousness
follow. Draughts blowing directly
across the bed are to be avoided, but
to have too much fresh air in a room
is almost impossible.
A common error, and one responsible
for sleeplessness, is to have bed so
placed that it faces the light. This
hurts not only the eyes but the head.
for it affects the nerves. To avoid
such difficulty, if the room is so shaped
that there is but one place for the
bed, put the pillows at the foot and
thus protect the eyes.
When warm weather is the cause of
ones staying awake at night an alco-
hol sponge may bring cure. For this
the spirits may be diluted to the pro-
portion of a tablespoonful of alcohol
Ia a cup Of cool water. 1t takes but a
few minutes to sponge off the body
in this solution, and sleep usually fol-
lows the cooling application.

NEW NECKLACE GAINS VOGUE.
Reverse Clutch Promises to Be Lead,
ing Novelty in JeweIry.

The reverse clutch necklace appar-
emily is to be the leading novelty in
jewelry. Already it has been seen in
society as we'll as on the stage.
Whether it is artistic depends on in
diVidual fancy. Startling it certainly
is, for it makes it difficult to determine
whether the wearer's progress is pro-
cessional or occasional. There is
nothing out of the ordinary about the
necklace except that it is reversed so
that the pendant hangs behind instead
of in front. Worn over street frock
it is not so astounding, but with even.
ing dress it is likely to make the be.
holder go through the traditional cere-
mony of rubbing his eyes. The pend.
ant, with low-cut gown, falls be-
tween the shoulder blades. Whatever
it's character, whether plain gold or a
jewel, it is conspicuous against the
white background. If, as occasionally
is the case, it blazes with gems, il
catches the eye across ballroom.

DAINTY STYLE FOR PETTicoAT.
Model Recommended That Will Feel,
Wear and Launder Well.

A suggestion Of style for dainty
petticoat would be to cut the skirt
from the long cloth and finish the bot
tom with dust ruffle of the same ma
terial. This would be overlaid by a
deep founce almost knee length made
either entirely of embroidered demi-
flouncing or wide edging sewed to a
ruffie of the goods, the joint concealed
by group of tucks. A threaded bead
ing or bias strapping could head the
flounce.
This model would wear and launder
well, quite a consideration where a
business girl is concerned, for she has
none too much time for repairing, and
the average laundress is seldom over
careful with ones clothing.
The second white petticoat could be
modelled like the first, but the deep
ruffie, for variety, could be of fine
lawn trimmed with insertion; lace
should come between groups Of tucks
and the finish might be lace ruffle.
This petticoat could be worn under
sheer frocks and II the deep rufiie

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

"Fuller's Earth"

Fuller's earth is an earth so-called
because of its use formerly by fullers
or bleachers of cloth to absorb
the grease and oil collected by
the cloth while being woven. 1t
is an earthly hydrated silicate
of aluminium, greenish in color
generally, though sometimes blush,
white or even brown. 1t is found in
the Oolitic or Jurassic series of rocks;
that is, in the third of the five d.
visions into which biologists divide
the earth's crust The maximum
depth of a deposit of fuller's earth is
400 feet. 1t is found in this country
in commercial quantities.
