The Turned Up Mustaohe.

n German emperor, William H., is
generally regarded as the inventor Of
the turned up mustache. This Is true
only as far as introducing it as a FASH
on. 1t was invented in the court Of
Philip ~, about 1926. That monarch
was he first to wear his mustache
turned upward, say the Detroit Free
Press. From the Spanish court the
fashion spread all over Europe. Charles
L, OF England, Philips brotherinlaw,
and many members of the Austrian
Hapsburgs adopted It. 1t came to Bel
GUM and was introduced into Ger
many by the Spanish soldiers during
the 80 years war. It was also found
in Sweden as. well as in France I'M
der Louis XIII. Under Louis XIV,
the beard ven out of fashion, and
during the time OF Rocco the elegant
world knew only clean shaver faces
until the French revolution brought the
again into use. But nowhere,
except in its Spanish home, did the
mustache rise so extravagantly as with
the German emperor and his imitators.

HELPS FARMERS, DAUGHTERS.

According to a report In the newspa-

Saxonla has decided to give a stipend
OF between 100 and 200 marks to daugh-
tiers Of farmers who cannot afford to
pay their way to the domestic economy
schools OF Dahlen aud Frelburg. In
these schools the daughters of farmers
learn how to care for farms and house
holds. The course is considered one of
the most beneficial. as 1t helps keep the
young folks on the farm instead of al
lowing them to go to the cities. Women
from SaXony several times appealed to
the minister OF the interior asking that
something be done to make it possible
for the daughters of poorer farmers to
attend these schools. 1t seems that
they have succeeded at last, for the an
nouncement In which IL is stated the
minister will help these girls, is pub
lished as official in the above-named
paper. .. ..

WORRY.
From the Success Magazine

From the Success Magazine.
& One who could rid the world of worry
would render greater service to the
race than all of the inventors and dis
coverers that ever lived!
We Americans pity ignorant sayages
who live in terror of their cruel gods,
their demons which keep them in abb
ject slavery, but we ourselves are the
slaves of a demon which blasts our
hopes, casts its hideous shadow across
all ouf pleasures, destroys our sleep,
mars our health and keeps us In mis-
cry most of our lives.
This Monster dogs us from tn cradle
TO the grave. There is no occasion so
sacred but IL Is there. Unbidden 1t
comes to the wedding and the funeral
alike. 1t Is al every reception, every
banquet: it occupies a seat at every
table. 'fg" y. .t.E ar W.
No human Intellect can estimate the
unutterable havoc and ruin wrought by
worry. 1t has forced genius to do the
work of ~mediocrity: 1t has caused more
failures, more broken hearts, more
blasted hopes than any other one
cause since the dawn OF the world.
What have not men one under the
pressure Of worry! They have plunged
into all sorts of vice: havo become
drunkards, drug flends; have sold their
very souls In their efforts to escape
this monster.

fashions is Il one piece tunie that
looks like a long coat. 1t is tight-fit
ting, fastened double breasted with
two large buttons, and cut away
sharply from the lower one to the hem.
1t differs from a coat, In that 1t has
no collar OF revers, and is placed over
a yoke OF lace or net. This is quite
elaborate. 1t is trimmed with gold
lace, embroidered filet bands and
sometimes bullion thread.
Al few of these tunics show bretelles
over the shoulder of heavy embroidery
done on the fabric.
The skirt under such a tunic is
usually of net or chiffon cloth.

MY son Clyde was almost com
pletely covered with eczema. Physi-
clans treated him for nearly a year
without helping him any. His head,
face and neck were covered with large
scabs which he would rub, until they
fell of. Then blood and matter would
run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that IL
ne got well he would be disfigured for
life. When it seemed as il he could
possibly stand it no longer, I used
some Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Oint-

was the first night for nearly a year
that he slept. In the morning there
