Plans for Presidents Hunting Tri

stopping off at various points along
the route to make hunting excursions
into the interior.
The real work of the expedition will
not begin until the party reaches the
plateau Of Uganda, after crossing
Lake Victoria Nyanza, where abounds
game to be found nowhere else in the
world.
1t Is not known exactly how long
the president will remain in this re-

the party will strike out along the
head waters of the White Nile river,
following the stream down to Khar-
toum and thence to Cairo.

Of his son, Kermit, who is to be the
official photographer of the expedi-
ton. and two naturalists from the Ma
tional museum. No other persons
will be taken from this country When
he reaches Africa he will employ the
services of natives and guides. A
caravan will be organized for the trip
from the railway terminus in Uganda
to the Nile.
The president promised Bishop
Hartzell that during his coming trip
to Africa in 1909 he would visit as
many Of the mission stations as pos
sible and would use his influence in
the interest of the work.

4 IMPORTANT suggestions for minimiz-
i ing loss Of life In the coal mines
OF the United States are contained in
a-report submitted to President Roose-
yeit through Secretary Garfield by the
three foreign mining experts who have
investigated conditions In American
mines.
These experts are Capt Arthur Des-
borough of England, Victor Watteyne
OF Belgium and Carl Meissner of Ger
many.
They came to this country six weeks
ago at the invitation of the United
States government to assist In the
movement looking toward a reduction
of disasters.
The recommendations of the experts
will be printed as bulletin by the
geological survey and distributed
among coal mine operators and min
ers. They refer to conditions to which
more than half million miners are
subjected each day.
The examination OF explosives by
the government with a view to elm
mating the more dangerous kinds and
20 improving and standardizing the
most suitable for mining purposes. Is
recommended.
That greater care should be exer,
clsed where gas or dust is known to
occur In the mine and that watering
should be more effective are also sug
e,s cd In the report.

life. An excellent remedy for those
suffering from any form of catarrh
is: One glass of warm water, one tea.

full borax and one-half teaspoonful
soda. Use this as spray for the
throat and douche for the nose both
night and morning.
Oftentimes freckles appear on the
nose when the rest of the face shows

spots will often disappear If several

lotion: Lemon Juice, three ounces;

Stunning Travelling Gowns.

radical departures from the simply
tailored, soberly shaded suit of a few
years ago, when it was the aim of
every well-bred pair to attract as lit
tie attention az possible. Some of
the travelling gs~ns that are being
made up for OCTOBER brides are of fine
broadcloth in the light shades of blue
and brown and usually in three pieces,
the trained skirt and deliberately
trimmed bodice of the princess gown
being supposed to represent two
pieces, and the long and fancifully
shaped directoire or empire coat the
third section. Not always are these
costumes Of one material trimmed
with satin or silk, for 1t is the fad of
the moment to have the gown of
heavy corded ottoman or satin and the
coat of cloth or vice versa.
