BROWN MOTH PATCHES.

The brown moth patches which are so
dishguring and seemingly so hard to cure
supposedly come from the liver. Many
remedies have been tried for them. but
the latest cure" is so simple that It
should at least be tested by every
woman who wishes to fight the blem-
isles. A skin specialist declares that he
has had more success In treating brown
patches by copious water drinking than
in any other way. The patient is forced
to drink ten or twelve glasses of water
a day, taking no other medicine. In a
short time her skin shows good effects
and in many cases the brown patches
disappear entirely.

it tears easily, and the placket par

A good seamstress suggests that a
hook and eye should be placed at the

hook should be fastened in the eye

If you have a strip of brown silk,
taffeta or messaline and a little silk in
a pretty contrasting color, such as
ecrll, delicate green or blue, make one
of the new cravats with double ends.
These are cut like a mans string tie,
but with a difference A perfectly
plain bias fold of -he silk is used to
go around the neck, but where 1t
meets in front each end branches off
into two parts, giving four ends in all.
These ends are all lined with silk of
contrasting color. The effect when tied
is very pretty. The cravat must not
be less than yard in length.
There is quite an old fashion returned
to favor. It is the use of plain linen
and embroidered linen in combination.
The shops now sell the two side by side.
and it is quite an easy matter to match
colors-
The embroidery is IN all kinds of de-
signs. usually eyelet. 1t is made into
collar and cuffs. pocket flaps. long redin-
gotes, girdles, and chemisettes.
When the plain and the embroidered
linen are combined the effect is very
good and gives one chance TO have
something different from the conven-
There is also another fashion to com
bine colored linen with plain white or

Can Sou Blame Him?

A st. Louis husband is about to be
divorced because he has taken the Alb
surd notion TO disobey the rules of con-
duct posted for his guidance by his
wife. No matter what time he went to
bed. he had to be up at O'Clock in
the morning so that the bed might be
made up; no breakfast for him after
half-past seven; had TO enter the house
without shoes, to keep from sOiling the
carpet; had to wash his hands before
each meal; had to give the pet poodle
a bath twice week; could have but
one bath week for himself: not al.
lowed to smoke in the house, because
of the lace curtains; had to be in by Z
o'clock p. IN. or sleep out in the wood
shed; paid $40 a week board, yet had
to carry water from the ciStern for all
domestic purposes, and was required
to wash his own clothes. Last. but
not least: Forced to walk ahead oi
his wife on the street, and sit in front
seat in street cars, to prevent his
looking at other women

Roosevelt and Pulitzer.

S. d. Cloak, in Harper's Weekly
finds a dramatic contrast between tho
treatment of Theodore Roosevelt in
1901 and Joseph Pulitzer by Theodore
Roosevelt in 1909.
mo sooner" says the magazine
writer, had the news reached New
York that President Mckinley had
been stricken by an assassin's bullet
than Mr.. Pulitzer sent word to the
World office that the name of Cool
goscz must not be printed more than
once, and that when reference to him
was demanded by the news he should
be called merely the assassin His
purpose, Mr.. Pulitzer explained. was
TO prevent any attempt at mock
heroics over Czolgoscz, to do what he
could to prevent the popularizing of
the name of the assassin, to prevent
the surrounding of his miserable head
with any halo of false glory; in brief,
there was to be no second Guiteau.
william Mckinley died and Mr..
Roosevelt was summoned from Il
hunting trip to succeed as president
the man who had fingered for eight
days on bed of pain. Mr.. Roosevelt
had behind him two centuries and a
half of American ancestry: Mr. Pulit-
ger was naturaliZed citizen who had
fought for his adopted country in what
Mr.. Roosevelt often has called The
big war
MIR. Pulitzer told his editors that
Mr.. Roosevelt was assuming the chief
magistracy under conditions that would
be trying to any man, and conditions
especially trying to one of Mr.. Roose-
velt's impulsive temperament He is
likely to make mistakes; any man
would, continued Mr.. Pulitzer; but dc
not criticise him until he has had ev
cry chance to get his bearings and
settle down TO the administration OF
his great Office. Moreover, if Mr.
Roosevelt should do anything worthy
of praise, praise him, even going out
of your way to do it.
Such was the consideration shown
by the editor for the president and
the presidency in mid-September, 1901
Ten days later the World sent it,
Washington correspondent, who hat
been obeying the orders of his CHIEF
in letter and in spirit, to the White
house to ask for some information
This is the reply that was made tt
him: The president knows but two
kinds of correspondent who ar,
friendly and those who are unfriendly
and your name is No. l on the un
! friendly list
"The contrast between the views O
the two men, as to the difficulties be
setting new president. is made tn
more interesting by the present cours
of the president toward the editor an
his newspaper"

When Animals Are III.

the way of administering relief and
medicine in many instances is as novel
as it is effective. The most savage and
revengeful animals during spells of Sc
we're pain are, as a rule. as docile ard
tractable as a child. Relief must come
from q human being. and come quick

The British Sportsman.

The British people are the greatest
people in the world for outdoor sports.
They spend over $200,000,00O a year
thereon, which is more than the budget
for the army and navy combined. An
interesting article in the March Scrib-
ner shows that these rather heavy
muscular people keep their health, and
their heads, and their happiness by
this almost universal participation in
some form of sport. 1t is their way of
letting off steam, which every indi.
vidual and nation must have for safe
one computed the amount of wealth
and territory brought to acknowledge
