WILL PREVENT SNORING.

Glad news has come for the sleep
ers in hall bedrooms. The sleep
destroying snore is to be stilled. No
longer will it awake the snorer s
that locomotive has exploded, nor
reverberate through the Railways like
the mutter of thunder on an August
evening, says the Denver Republican.
For an apparatus has been invented
that will tame the most raucous. nerve
raeking, hyena-like snore that ever
aroused the ire of a boarding house
community. The inventor is David E.
Warner who lives on Twenty-sixth
avenue, out near the city limits. When
he isn't devising schemes to lessen the
sufferings of humanity, Warner is a
tonsorial artist employed on Seven
teenth street

ment, the snore suppressor may be

abroad to compete with the midnight
yowlings of sundry Toms and Tables.
The suppressor is delicate instru
ment Mr.. Warner s greatest difficulty
has been in finding a machinist to
make it, But it has been perfected so
that working model is at the service
of the snorers. Mr.. Warner thinks the
machine will be invaluable to men who
habitually fall asleep in church or to
policemen desiring to sleep on their
cheats
The only reason more publicity has
not been given to the machine IS, ac-
cording to its inventor, because the
suppressor has not yet been so improv-
ed as to keep it from interfering with
the breath of the snorer, but he prom
ises to have this fault corrected in a
short time.

now be purchased in London.
The tabloids are to produce the sour
milk which Professor Metchnikoff, the
eminent Russian sayant and one of the
great figures at the Pasteur institute,
declares is the diet with which old
age may be reached.
The microbes of sour milk, according
to this worldfamous scientist, have the
power of destroying the death bacilli.
Following on Ills theory London manu-
featuring chemists have prepared sour
milk tablets, to which they give the
name of "lactic acid baeilli = tabloids.

The main cause of death. M. Metch-
nikoff notes, is, apart from disease and
violence, to be found in certain bacilli
in the larger intestines.
According to Metchnikcff, it is pos
sible to inhibit the growth of bacteria
responsible for intestinal fermentation
by instrodueing into or causing an
active growth of Tactic acid bacilli in
the organism.
This organism prevents other bac

FETCHING EFFECTS IN HAIR.

Bewaie of Curling Irons if You Wish
Locks to Wave.
american women don't know how to
do their hair foreign gentleman re-
marked to me recently when we were
at the theater together.
What makes you say that? Look
at the beautifully dressed heads in
front of u.s." l answered.
1.-THE hairdresser has been busy with
them,' he answered. Look at these
same women in the morning, my dear
madam, and then give me your de-
cision"
am afraid he is right. The average
girl or young woman makes a frantic
attempt to fix her own hair and does
it very badly.
Let me give you few hints. In the
first place there is an old fashioned no.
toni was going to say superstition
that the hair should not be washed
oftener than once in two weeks and
that even this was too much If one
wished a really good growth of hair
Nothing is more absurd. The hair
should be washed as often as needed,
once week If necessary, but-and this
is where the emphasis comes in-every
particle Of soap should be washed out.
There is only one way in which this
can be done thoroughly-by kneeling
in the bathtub and putting the head di-
rectiy under the faucet.
1t is the soap that remains in the
hair that Injuries it. The washing can
not possibly do it any harm.
No woman can hope to have pretty
couture if she has oily hair. Like an
oily skin, it is a sure bar to beauty.
/ deplore very much the use of hot
curling irons. They destroy the luster
of the hair and break it beyond repair.
If you want wavy locks, use one Of
the many crimping pins now on the
market If you don't want to wear
them at night, there are some which
while you are dressing. You dampen
the hair or, better still, use a little
brilliantine before putting it up on
these curriers'. The whole effect is soft
and pretty.
Now, as to the present fashion Of ar
ranging the hair, you may either wear
it parted or pompadour, but in either
case a transformation is necessary. A
transformation is the new style rat.
It is made of crisp, curly hair sewed
to tame This tame faStpnS in the
back, if you wish a pompadour, or else
on either side Of the part in front.
Having brushed your hair all down
over your face and neck and pinned
the transformation firmly on top of
this, you brush back the front hair
over it and adjust it by means of side
combs. Then, taking the back hair.

American Girls Guardian Angel.

Mrs. Grace Whitney Hoff, who has
a splendid home in Paris, asks all
American girls who may be in that
city to come to her if they are in
need of comfort or advice. Mrs. Hof
is an American woman. She formerly
lived in Detroit, where she devoted
herself to the interests of girls. She is
wealthy. Her Partisan home is a
modern fairyland It abounds in paint
fngs, books, music and furnishings of
the times of Louis XIV. and XIV. In
the salons assemble governesses, com
panions. secretaries, nursery govern
esses, hospital trained nurses, stenog-
raphers, clerks, shopgirls, Interpreters,
dressmakers, miI1iners and artisans
If a girl loses her position in the gay
capital she is as welcome as those who
are employed. While Mrs. Hoff gives
her time to the entertainment of all
American girls who are at work or as
many as may go to her and assists
them in developing their talent, she is
mostly concerned about those who are
homeless. Her advice to American
girls who are seeking work abroad is
not to go to Paris She asks such
as do and who are not provided for by
friend to go to her home. If they
are still unable to find work she ar
ranges for their return to their own
country. For those who believe that
Paris affords them opportunities which
they cannot have at home Mrs Hoff
exerts herself to obtain places for them
and then looks after their comfort and
entertainment while they are in the
city. She is known in Paris as the
"angel of American girls"

to the present style. Already in the
best establishments where the advance
guard of all new styles are shown are

or some other kind of soft and pliable
stuff made with deep founces, SO that
three or four cover the skirt. Others
show a deep draped overskirt in the
form Of peplum and, newest of all,
skirt where there are three deep puffs
SO arranged that one droops over the
over. The front of the skirt is cut
straight, while the rest is cut so much
longer that it is quite possible to let
each puff droop down about three or
four inches. giving the gown the APP
pearance of having three skirts. The
waist is made plain in the back, with
fat plaits, while in front it is drawn
across in decided surplice style. 1t is
cut away in points which are filed
in by lace guimpe. The sleeves are
plated loosely and reach to the fore

to match that in the waist.
All skirts are wider than those worn

When Is Woman Most Beau
tifui?

Nine. Marni, the novelist, considers
that the beautiful woman's triumphal
period is between thirty-five and forty
five. Nine Marcelle Tinayre, another
novelist, says that it is impossible to
deal with the question of woman's
beauty in figures. Two women born
on the same day are not fifty on the
same day. There is no age for beau
ty,'' she says. '.Au roses do not bloom
at the same time Marcel Provost
says that the age of absolute beauty
in woman passes very quickly. but in
Paris, according to Provost, women are
most attractive between thirty and
forty. Feminine beauty, according to
Abel Bonnard, another Partisan au-
thority, poet, is only perfect between
the ages or twenty-five and thirty. "A
woman is always beautiful If she has
the beauty of her age" is the opinion
of Mile. BresIau. who adds, however
that 'sthe majority Of our contempt
raries appear to forget it." 1t is her
opinion that woman is at her best be
tween thirty and forty. Woman's age
for retreat has been put back within
recent years The reason for this is
that women today have more Just
notion of their value. The progress
