TOO many business men are care

Sunshine and Lemonade.

The hygienic' qualities of lemonade
have long been popularity celebrated,
and recent scientific research shows
that this pleasing summer drink de-
serves it's reputation. M. Riegel, writ
ing in the Archives of Hygiene, says
that in a lemonade containing six
grams per liter of citric acid the
bacillus of cholera is killed in halt an
hour, and that of typhoid in "a hours.
But when the same lemonade il per-
meated with sunshine, the cholera
bacillus perishes in five minutes ard
the typhoid bacillus In two hours.

antennae and receiving apparatus, the
transmitting apparatus being installed

transmitting wire was suspended upon
Geographic poles for distance of 200
feet, about foot beneath the ordinary
telegraph wires. Within a distance
of about seven and half miles, OF

Long and Graceful
Are the New Skirts

All skirts are now extremely long
and In most cases exceedingly grace
full in outline, but whereas before this
a wide flare about the feet has been
sought after in even the most supple
and slinky materials, now all ruffles
and fiOunces are done away with. even
the stih taffeta founces on the upper
petticoat being abolished. In front the
hem must lie on the ground just
enough to make it possible to walk
without stepping on the material,
while on the sides some inches have
been added to the accepted length of
last year, and in the back, toe, the
train is a decided feature of the skirt.
Naturally, when all must be done to
give height and slenderness to the
figure, folds, tucks, plaits, ruffles and
founces disappear as though they had
never been in existence. This does
not mean, however, that all trimming
is thing of the past, for the elaborate
hand embroidery was never more
beautiful than that. on many of the
newest evening models Wide bands
of solid embroidery with gold, silver
and steel spangles and pale colored
fridescent pailettes introduced in the
pattern by being placed about the
very border Of the. skirt help to keep
the material we'll down and clinging
without any ugly slinkiness, and serve
to accentuate all long and slender
lines. This embroidery may also be
carried up on the skirt in long points.
or on a net gown lines of rhinestones
or pailettes may be carried down the
skirt from the belt to merge into the
wide embroidered band at the end.
