Mistake Somewhere.

A story comes from Kentucky
town that is worth repeating. There
lives there woman who says that
she has immediate communion with
the Almighty, and now and then de-
livers to those of common clay a mes
sage that she has received from on
high. The fact that these messages
sometimes take on very materialis-
tic hue does not alter their effective
ness, in her opinion.
One day she went into the office of
well known attorney and approached
him solemnly as one about to reveal
an awe-inspiring secret.
"The Lord sent me to you for $25,'
she announced.
The attorney looked up and smiled
THAT must be mistake" he re-
piled. blandly, because the Lord
knows l have not got it."
Celestial communication was there
upon broken off.

ALL HAVE THREAD OF BLACK
Seasons Materials Marked with This
Peculiar and Extremely
Effective Touch.

One of the odd and effective
touches of the season materials is to
weave heavy thread of black
through everything. This idea is
evolved from homespun, the imported
variety that has that Pickering black
or gray thread playing hide and seek
over the surface.
The new dull red basket cloth,
which is the color of grapes. and is to
be quite fashionable. has this thread
OF black looping in and out of the
weave. Smart top coats for autumn
wear outside of the city are of white
cloth. with black thread through it.
A suit or coat of this rough cloth
with black thread is naturally
trimmed in black. It looks as though
we were coming in for a big season
OF black-hats, gowns, wraps and ac-
cessories
One hears more of the all black
gown In the dressmaking houses than
for years past. 1t is not now advised
for economy's sake. but for fashion.
All materials contribute to it. 1t is
to be worn for the street, for the
house, and quite good bit for the
evening. There is no hint of color
being combined with 1t. but always
a touch of white
Smart house gowns of black have
yoke and sleeves of pin.tucked white
tulle and then touches of facetted Jet.
The top coat of black in fur MORE
or cloth is highly fashionable and the
epidemic of black hats is in full sway
Conservative women feel they are
getting their feet on firm ground
again when black and white is in
, first style. They have been pretty
much buffeted by sartorial breakers
recently and they are quite relieved
to be safe again.

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid Of Coffee Heart"

The Injurious action of Coffee on the
heart of many persons is we'll known
by physicians to be caused by caf-
feline. This is the drug found by chem
lists in coffee and tea.
A woman suffered a long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof-
fee, as that was the principal cause
of the trouble. She writes:
My heart was so weak it could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and 1t would seem that
l would never breathe again.
THE doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said must stop it, but it seemed +
could not give 1t up until was down
In bed with nervous prostration.
For eleven weeks l lay there and
suffered. Finally Husband brought
home some Postum and | quit coffee

aches, nor those spells with weak
heart We know 1t is Postum that
helped me. The DIR. said the other day,
I never thought you would be what
you are l used to weigh 92 pounds
and now l weigh 1853.
Postum has done much for me and
would not go back to coffee again
for any money, for believe 1t would

.0USTED AS TEACHER
Mrs. stetson Barred from
Teaching Christian Science.
Her License Revoked Because She
Gave Students In New York Wrong
Idea Of the Eddy Doc
frines.

Boston.-Mrs Augusta e. Stetson,
of New York, has not been expelled"
or dismissed from the Christian
Science church, according to state
ment from Alfred Harlow, Chairman
of the Mother church committee on
publication, but has had her license
as practitioner revoked. Mrs. Stet-
son still retains her membership in
the church.
The move Is the result of a long
inquiry in the methods employed by
her In teaching. The board of direc-
tors In its report finds that Mrs. Stet-
son teaches her students that the New
York branch of the church, with which
she is connected, is the only legitimate
Christian Science church in that city,
that she has been teaching an errone-
GUS sense of the doctrines, that Mrs.
Stetson has SO far strayed from the
right as to be unfit for the work of
Christian Science teacher.
The trustees of the church have
adopted amendments to the bylaws of
the church that will prevent, 1t is be-
lieved, recurrence of exactly the
same troubles experienced by the
trustees In the case of Mrs. Stetson.
Section of article 8, on the care
of pupils, is amended to read as fol-
lows:

TO KEEP HORSES FROM SLIPPING
Various Inventions Which Aim to Promote
That PraiseWorthY and Mereiful Object.

The Oldest, if not the best. safe
guard against slipping on icy roads is
probably a shoe with sharp calks.
For many years the man who had
any regard for his horses made it a
practice when settled winter weather
arrived to visit a blacksmith to Sc
cure for them the help thus afforded.
Even now the custom still prevails
generally in this country. Origin
ally the sharp calk was formed on an
anvil Nowadays a special calk can
!. be obtained, which is screwed into
sfhe shoe. When it wears down it can
Isbe replaced with new one. The
screw calk is said to have gained con-
siderable popularity in Germany as
we'll as in the United States.
However, a shoe which will hold
on ice often fails on wood or asphalt
pavements in cities. In fact, how to
prevent slipping in such cases is a
problem which has not yet been
fully solved, though various ingen-
lous and humane efforts have been
made to invent adequate devices Tor
the purpose One which is receiving
a trial in Hamburg is shoe with
deep countersunk groove, into which
is inserted piece of hemp rope. The
groove extends entirely around the
shoe. If the American Consul in
Hamburg is not mistaken, this plan
works fairly we'll. Only the rope
touches the pavement, and when it
wears down it is replaced with anoth-

FOOD FACTS
What an Nj. ID. Learned.

A prominent Georgia physician
went through food experience which
he makes public:
at was my own experience that
first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts
food and I also know, from having
prescribed it to convalescents and
other weak patients, that the food IS
a wonderful rebuilder and restorer
of nerve and brain tissue, as we'll as
muscle. 1t improves the digestion
and sick patients always gain just as
I did in strength and weight very rap
idly.
81 was in such a low state that
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains Of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact, was not quite as well as
when | left home.
my food did not sustain me and
it became plain that l must change.
Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks l could walk mile
without fatigue, and in five weeks
returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since
that time | have felt as we'll and
strong as ever did in my life.
"As q physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, l consider it duty to
make these facts public"
Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body, will work miracles.

Measuring Nail Growth.

Among psychologists, as in the
public at large, there are current a
number of errors relative to the
growth of the nails. For example,
it is generally thought that the sea-
sons influence the growth.
This subject has been studied very
closely of late, and it can be definite
ly stated that the growth of nails de-
ponds upon age. The growth is
greatest when a person is from to
80 years old, then it diminishes.
This applies to the nails on the
hand. But it's very different with
the nails of the big toe. The growth
of this nail in the very young is only
; half or third of that of the finger
nails. But in old people it is equal.
This would seem to show that the
lower limbs retain more of their Wig
Or than the arms.-Illustration

A SYMPHONY IN GREEN.

The gown in which Miss Flora Will
son, daughter of the Secretary OF
Agriculture, at Washington, D. g.,
has sent a ripple over the world OF
fashion is a symphony in green.
Eight shades of green make UP the
color scheme of the creation. Miss
Wilson brought it from Paris, where
she has lived five years. This, OF
course, is not the only stunning gown
the young woman brought back, but
it is the most wonderful, and already
it has caused no end of envy.
The predominant hue is a deep
green of chiffon broadcloth. This
forms the basis for the other shades.
The seams of the long and narrow
skirt are touched in light green silk,
and a tunic of soft sea green falls
from the shoulders, lightly touching
the sides of the skirt with wavy eff
feet, appropriate to the sea color. The
folds of the tunic are of darker green.
Velvet of still another hue outlines
the bodice, with relieving touches of
copper silk and beads.
The pale green tissue sleeves are
run through with dark silk stripes,
edged with beads.-New York Jour
nal
