FADS FOR WOMEN.

Dainty little jabots can be made from
a handkerchief doubled on the bias cor.
ner to corner. the raw edge peated into
a scrap of a band. Before doing so it is
n pretty fashion to work dots in any pre-
ferred SIZE using mercerized cotton
The colors may be chosen to match the
shade of the dress worn. WHILE of course
any delicate color will harmonize with a
black or a white toilet.
A twenty-five-cent handkerchief will
make two of these accessories. and 1t goes
without saying that they will launder
prettily.
The canton drawers for small children
early fall wear are ready. They are neat
little knickers. nicely made and finished
with cambria bands. Cost is twenty
cents. The same style trimmed with a
narrow cambria embroidery ruffle is
thirty-five cents. and thirty cents when
the ruffle is plain.
Sizes from two to eight years
At such prices what busy mother would
take the trouble to make such garments
at home?

CLEANSES SYSTEM.

Those persons who rail against per-
spiration do not grasp how important is
the function of the skin. for impurities
that would otherwise injure the system
are sent through the pores and in mois-
ture exuded. If perspiration is excessive
it becomes unpleasant. but perfectly
natural and moderate amount of moisture
is to be desired
The effort to entirely close the pores, q
condition tried so continuously by many
women in summer If accomplished would
be most unfortunate. for the treatment
would ruin the skin.
The best effects astringents can have is
to cause a slight surface dryness, and
the instant this condition becomes more
pronounced it results in rough and scaly
flesh And as each woman recognizes
this she remarks that the wash she uses
in hot weather docs not agree with her. :
When such is the case she has applied
il excessively and worse than uselessly.
1t is equally true that excessive per-
spiraton is sometimes due to nervousness,
even when the physical condition is
sound. One who permits herself to be-
come fiurried and upset will suffer from
moisture when she would be entirely COM
Portable could she but control her nerves
Physical weakness. of course. always
makes for perspration, and when the
system is in that condition tonics should
be taken internally and an effort made
to build up the system.
To have the pores remain closed in
warm weather is to suffer even more than
ordinarily from the heat. Moreover, 1t is
not conducive to health. If the tiny holes
of the body are not permitted to remain
open and to breathe. sickness and some
times death result. The death of small
child in Italy several centuries ago was
directly traced to the fact that owing
to his beauty his body was gilded and he
was carried in a pageant through the
streets. The gilt could not be removed
later and the child sickened and died. be-
cause the natural functions of the body
had been interfered with by his golden
skin covering.

TAFT STARTS ANAN1As CLUB.
Repudiates Telegram 'Purporting tc
Indorse Minnesota Delegation.

EENE Mass. September 3.-Presi-
dent Taft started his Ananias Club yes
terday, through Secretary Fred w.
Carpenter, when he discredited an alleged
Taft telegram which appeared in q
Minnesota paper purporting to indorse the
Minnesota congressional delegation.
The Presidents secretary declared that
no such telegram was sent to the news
paper by the President or any one else
In addition to branding the telegram as
false. the Presidents denial showed that
he is not in sympathy with the
Mnnesotans who, with a single excel
tion. voted against the Payne tariff bill
in the House and in the Senate
Both Senators Nelson and Clapp voted
against the Payne bill, and the only
man from Minnesota who supported IL

quarters. and more often longer the cut
seml-fltting. though little more snug
| than last years styles. The sleeves. too,
while coat shaped. are palmer at the top
less of box effect.
The trimmings are quite elaborate. One
of the handsomest of the broadcloth
wraps is seven-eighths length, each seam
left open as far as knee length, and the
are elaborateiy ornamented with black
soutache to the depth of the coat. The
neck, front edges and the sleeves are
also trimmed with the braid.
Another in a similar model has the
seams connected by handsome braid or
naments and buttons, large motif of
silk and braid being applied to each point
or immense tab.
| Much of the garniture of braid and cord
might be copied by any woman skilled
| in such work.
! Then. if plain broadcloth coat were
bought, the trimmings could be put on
and striking wrap would be obtained at
little more than the cost of a plain one.
| Indeed, the trimmings double the price of
the usual wrap.
| Colored broadcloth separate coats for
day wear are few. When a color is pre-
ferred. then the circular model is bought.
There are only few white wraps
among the new models.
| Black silk, gold braid and buttons seem
| to be the fabrics used to give tone to
| these garments.
| Lightweight tweed separate coats are
smart looking, plainly tailored and in un-
obtrusive colorings. For business wear
over thin dress these coats answer ad-
mirably when the time comes that such
protection is needed.

/ thick. but not heavy, made in kind of
| ulster. suitable for steamer or automobile
wear, and was finished with large sal
lor collar of black velvet. 1t was odd
looking and scarcely a practical trim

The sailor collar effects are new taken
/ in connection with long separate coats,
| but many of the new wraps display them.
An odd arrangement on one garment was
sailor collar in the back only. 1t was
| like square yoke. the front affecting
/ the tuxedo collars. Another was squared
off on the ends in front and short at the
