DEAFNESS CANNOT BE eUREDI

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is BY constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

PLAlTs AND GATHERS
IN SUMMER FROCKS

Plaits and gathers in many new forms
and guises arc making their appear
ance in the summer frocks. It is some
time. since we have worn these soft gath
cred dresses, and women who can re-
member how delightful they were years
ago Will be very glad TO see them reviv-
ed in the new gowns.
Spanish lace scarfs and wells are per-
haps the newest items to be taken up
by the leaders of fashion. They. how
ever, scarcely remind one OF the old
lace for they are finer and some In fancy
dyes For example, one charming scarf
was in wistaria, with a twelve-inch
border. Below this was a thick, seven
inch fringe in the same color.
Some of the summers petticoat novel;
ties are at first glance. very oddly cut.
They are all narrow and sheath-topped.
but about the normal waist line a three
or four-inch belt is added, which girdles
the body 10 a height about even with the
top of the high skirt now worn. In silk
petticoats the popular idea is a soft
fabric, which does not rustic. but which
will take a sun-plaiting we'll and hold

Chamois gloves in cream color and pale
yellow are extremely smart, with tall

silk glove is berable.

the illustration. She looks like prize
package. and yet she is wearing
Paris gown that must have cost her a
pile of money.
No matter how beautiful a checked
dress may be the dumpty little woman
should never wear It, and even II
stripes are the acme of fashion the
tall bean pole young woman must leave
them alone. Also the stout woman
should never wear white, red or yellow,
and the emaciated type should run at
the sight of blues and green's Of acidu-
lous hues that accentuate her leanness
and sallowness.
AS for black, it is a disappearing
color, and no amount OF padding will
ever make it becoming to the straight
up and down type. An evening dress
Of black for a thin person is a perfect
horror.
AS a rule. blonds by a perversity Of
nature have to wear the most explo-
sive tints they can lay their hands on.
A lovely creature with pale yellow eye
brows and eyelashes, together with
ash blond hair, will revel in the bright
est shade Of rose regardless OF how
faded it makes her look, and the bru-
nette, who is usually saliow and there
fore needs strong, clear colors to fiat
ter her pale skin. yearns for palest
lavenders and washed out greens that
make her skin look like a lemon.
The length of the waist line also has
a lot to do with dressing. A small wo-
man with a long waist can wear
wide belt, but the woman with a short
waist should never attempt it. In
fact, the latter should avoid as much
as possible all trimming on her waist
and yet, as a rule-oh, perversity Of
sexl-she is the one yoI find all logged
out with lace collars, ribbon bows and
capelike effects over her usually
round shoulders.
Truly it is not fashion itself that is
ludicrous, but the fashions some wom-
en- choose. HELEN MORSE.

Now Ways For serving Fruits.

Curious and wonderful fruits have
been seen for some time, but lately
extraordinary methods Of eating the
more familiar kinds have been invent
ed by epicures.
Cayenne pepper is a favorite season.
ing for Strawberries. Custard apples
are improved by pinch OF salt. A
grating of cheese is considered TO bring
out the flavor of melon.
The most delicate dessert is a grape
fruit cut in half. A sharp knife, no
longer than penknife, must then be
employed to loosen the fiber from the
skin.
The core must be cut out. This
leaves a little well, which readily fills
up with juice. A tablespoonful of
sugar must be put into this well TO
soak up the juice and the cavity must
then be filled with maraschino.
The grape fruit must then be stood
In ice for ten minutes and eaten with
a teaspoon.
Bananas are delicious mashed up
with raspberry jam and whipped cream
and served with sponge fingers
Cape plums almost melt in the mouth
if they are served on whipped frozen
cream.
Raspberries should DO tossed in
champagne cup, and nobody would
recognize the humble apple If It is
soaked for a few minutes in boiling
water and sugar and mashed with ice
cream.

HAT PINS ARE AMONG

A new kind Of hat pin, which will prob

the badly drawn one being barbaric, the

satisfactory method Of keeping the rounds

Half a yard Of linen would probably be
sufficient for a set Of hat pins and but

as the hat pin heads, hut in estimating
the amount OF material required remembe
that You will need double the quantity
necessary for embroidering the top OF the
hat pin. as each button or pin must be
neatly finished at the back with a circle
of plain linen turned in and invisibly hem
med around the edges
one Of the two cirlces IS placed ovei
the top OF the hat pin, which should b'

abundant, and the hat pin is run through
the middle OF the other, which is brought

400 women are prisoners at the present

a few of them serious. but the ma

order.
The prison is a correctional insti-

restore them 20 health and mental

The woman who spends the most
