The Stylish Sash

Every modish must have a sash, one be strictly up-to-date. The old idea of the sash was four yards of ribbon tied around the waist in bow at the back. They usually went with stiff, starched white lawn dresses and "roaching combs" But the sash of today is totally differ ent. It is direct from the Parisan ateliers and is wonderfully and fearfully made.
 One of the most stylish is made of soft chiffon taffeta ribbon and crosses over the shoulders in fichu effect. It is brought round the waist and tied in small loops, and long ends at the back of the waist.
 Another pretty sash has narrow band which encircles the waist with sort of harness effect, brought from the cen ter of the front to each shoulder, and from that point forms an inverted ''V" to cross the back.
 The points under the shoulder blades are finished on each side with a fiat TO- sette with a jewelled button in the cen ter. The ends of the crossed ''v'' in the back fasten on opposite sides of the belt, which does not meet in the back by sev- eral inches.
 The joining is concealed by knots of ribbon and the two ends, brought to "V," five inches below the waist line are knotted and hang in two long ends.
 These effects are very becoming to slender svezte figures but the woman of size must wear the sash laid in narrow folds, slightly dipped in front, and fas- tened at the back with single knot in the center and two knotted ends finished with fringe.

Curling Fluid For the Hair

The hot irons that must be used to produce the Marcel wave, are so uncom- fortable in the warm weather tlsut women have vainly looked for some kind of curling fluid to take the place of the hot irons It Is very hard matter to find good substitute and the following has been tried with some success. The formula is not simple and hence 1t may not be very popular.
 It Is made of five-eights of dram of carbonate of potash. half a dram of am- monia water. two drams of extract of violet, an ounce of glycerine. three-quar- ters of an ounce of rectiied spirits and half pint of water.
 The mixture stands bottled for ten days and is then strained. To use, the hair is mostened and tied down in large waves, which are combed out as soon as 1t dries,

MORE THAN EVER.
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving Of Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day after
day. have found a better capacity and
greater endurance by using Postum
Cereal instead of coffee. An Illinois
woman writes:
81 had drank coffee for about twenty
years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart" / was nervous
and extremely Respondent; had little
mental or physical strength left, had
kidney trouble and constipation.
1.-THE first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee TO Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then l became less respondent, and
the desire to be active again showed
proof of renewed physical and mental
strength.
Il am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. / formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
on account of coffee. but since using
Postum I am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"

Compact Body Planned.

The object OF the federatio is TO unite
all unions having American Federation
charters into a concrete and central body,
much after the manner of the system fol-
lowed in Montana, where the state feder-
alton is the central body which controls
all matters relating to disputes that can
not be settled locally. and which meets
once year with representation from cen
trail bOdies-that is. county trades and
labor unions-to discuss general policies.
Addresses were made az yesterday
meeting by President Spalding and Vice
President Pigsott. Attention was called
to the fact that the American Federation
is opposed to socialism and all of It's ten
cts. Throughout the meeting was most
harmonious, there never being an idea
expressed that ran at cross purposes with
one expressed by another.
The body that has been and whose
name still is. for the matter of that. the
Utah Federation of Labor. il is expected
will soon change its name and take one
more in keeping with its provinces and
Jurisdiction The Utah Federation is
merely a local central body and the like
lihOod is that 1t will change its name to
something like the Salt Lake Trades and
Labor Assembly.
The visiting delegates yesterday were
entertained by the local trades unionists
after the meeting and the best of fraternal
spirit prevailed.

what he declared to be the precariOus
condition of the national defense of the

the Pacific oceans, Mr.. Hobson of Ala

today made an earnest plea for two
battleships of $4,000 tons displacement
in addition to the two authorized by
the naval appropriation bill. He said
that a conservative estimate would in
dictate that for the minimum basis of
security and safety in the Pacific ocean
the United States should lay down at
least four big ships "a year for many

MIR. HobsOn. the weakness of America
in the matter OF national defense had
not been fatal to it's growth and devel-
opment, because the oceans constituted
a great barrier between America and
the armies of the world Now, how

Jealousy Excited.
He said that where America former
ly lived more or less in isolation, she is
now exciting the jealousy of other
great nations in threatening their su-
premacy i'm commerce. industry and
finance. In addition, he declared that
recent events have thrown us into the
political vortex of the world, and that
the dangers of being unpTepared are
becoming greater and greater with
each succeeding year.

Mr.. Hobson said:
I'VE have almost no standing army

foreign power of harbOr on our
shores, or near our shores, to be used
as a naval base; whereas, il would be
practically impossible for America TO
secure a naval base for operations in
European waters. Forts, mines, tor
pedoes, torpedo boats and submarines
are valuable accessories, but such de-
lenses have never stopped a determined
commander of a great fleet. They did
not stop Nelson at Copenhagen, nor
Farragut at Mobile bay, nor Dewey at
Manila. Such defenses never determine
