PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony fol
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools il
North Carolina says:
my mother since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinkel
and had been troubled with her heart
for e number Of years, and com
planned of that weak all over feeling
and sick stomach.
"Some time ago I was making an Of
fetal visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with n OF
the merchants of the place. I no
ticed a somewhat peculiar flavor OF
the coffee, and asked him concerning
it. He replied that it was Postum.
II was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, I bought a pack.
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family liked it so we'll, that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.
81 had really been at times very anx.
Ious concerning my mothers condition,
but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she. did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
II know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam.
lily, but not in so marked a degree as
in the case of my mother, as she was
a victim of long standing"

A Useful Baby.

Speaking Of tricks to win the sym
pathy of juries in criminal cases,
Judge Willard M. McEwen, in a re.
cent address before the Illinois States
Attorneys association, said: Il know
of four cases where a baby played a
prominent part in getting the acquit.
tai of the defendant, and l later
learned that the same baby had beer
used in each of the cases, although
the supposed mothers in each case
were different women."-LaW Notes

May Accept Cotton Rate.

According to those in a position to
know, it is gathered that there will be
no attack made on the newly promul-
gated cotton rate scale or tariff by the
Illinois Central and the Yazoo & Mis-
sippi Valley systems, and it is doubtful
whether any of the other lines, especially
the trunk lines, will resort to litiga-
ton in order to avoid being saddled with
the Objectionable scale.

Charges Misappropriation.

State Revenue Agent Writ Adams has
put it up to the former board of super
| visors of Winston county to enter a
defense against a charge of m%isappro-
priation of the county funds.
The revenue agent, through his depu-
ties, has been conducting a quiet investi-
CATION into the handling of the county
funds, and as a result they have dis
covered evidence indicating that moneys
have been paid out on account of road
working in a manner not authorized by
statute.
The officers have discovered an appar-
ent unlawful disbursement of over $780,
900, incurred through a system of road
working devised by the board of super
visors themselves, and not in accord
ance with any of the plans sanctioned
by law, and have entered suit in the
chancery court of Winston for that
amount.
Fallen Timber Opinion.
Acknowledgement Stirling has issued
another opinion constituting the law as
to fallen timber on sixteenth section
lands held under lease by private parties
or corporations.
The opinion was requested by the au-
thorities of Greene county, who were
confronted with the problem as to the
rightful possession of a quantity of
timber that was blown down on six
teenth sections in that county during
the violent storms of two years ago.
The former opinion was reaffirmed,
that being that sixteenth section timber
and belongs to the party or parties own
ing the fee.

1t has been determined to place in
the new High School building now in
course of construction automatic venti-
lation. The original plans did not call
for this. Mr.. Murphy, of Richmond,
Va, who is with the American Heating
and Ventilating Company, was at Taze-
well on Tuesday, in consultation with
the contractors and school authorities.
The system which is likely to be adopt
ed Is warm air, which will be pumped
into the building, an electric motor or
some other power being used for that
purpose. In that way the air in the
building will be kept constantly pure.
In these days, when people are so con-
cerned about contagious and infectious
diseases, especially tuburculosis, all
known means should be used to prevent
children in the schools and in the homes
from contracting disease. Nothing has
been found as effective in the way Of
prevention, as well as cure, as plenty OF
fresh, pure air.

For THE NEW BAEY.

In making baby's first clothes 1t IL
well to consider what would be best
Tor the comfort OF the little stranger,
and It is only natural that the pros
pectiye mother should wish to pro-
vide amply of everything and Of the
best she can afford as well as the
most elaborate
In our GRANDMOTHER time the
clothes Of a baby were a source of
much comment, and the mothers
would spend several days and longer
on one dress alone They were beau
tiful, beyond doubt. but when one
thinks of the time that was spent,
and how fast baby outgrows them. it
is hardly worth the while.
Today the everyday clothes OF a
baby are usually made plain, with
several fancy dresses and skirts for
extra occasions.
Before beginning to sew on the lit
tie garments it is essential to find
permanent place to keep them after
such place, shirt waist box can be
obtained at most any department
store for about dollar; pad with
thin layers of cotton, sprinkled with
some favorite scent of sachet powder
and line with good quality of pink or
blue cheese cloth. If the outside has
no covering. one of Powered eretone
would look very pretty.
For a simple outfit | would sug-
gest the following articles: Three
pairs stockings, three flannel bands,
three flannel skirts, three cambria
skirts, four muslin slips for day and
night wear, five afternoon dresses.
one flannelette wrapper, two fancy
dresses. three sacks, three pairs
bottles, six bibs, cap, coat and veil,
and at least two dozen napkins.
This list comprises all that viii be
needed to keep baby sweet and clean
with reasonable care.
The material should be the best the
purse can afford. II, however. econ
only must be practiced 1t Is better
to dispense with embroideries and
laees rather than with the quality
of the material. Buy goods free from
starch and dressing and fiannels
that are woven soft and light. Cot
ton flannel should never be used,
whether baby be born in summer or
winter, as they do not impart the
warmth that WOODEN flannel does. and

To make good cucumber cream,
cut up two large cucumbers and cover
them with about half cup of water.
Let them simmer for about half an
hour, keeping them covered the while,
so the water will not dry up. Strain
at the end of half an hour and add

If the lace or insertion on clothing
becomes torn do not attempt to darn
It, as the work is tedious and difficult
and in many cases the results are not
satisfactory. The best and quickest
way Of mending torn laces is to haste
a piece of plain net trifie larger
than the torn place under the hole
and overcast 1t around the edges.
Remove the basting threads and
press the patch on the wrong side
BY this method the torn place is
neatly and satisfactorily mended.

only add to baby's discomfort.
Before making the garments 1t is
practical to shrink the material, es-
pecially the flannel.
The sewing should be done mostly
by hand. Nainsook, longcloth, India
linen, cambria and batiste are used
for the dresses, slips and petticoats
The little understands and bands
are made of flannel Outing flannel
fiannelette henrietta, challis and cash
mere are used for the wrapper and
sacks.
For the cloaks peau de sole, poplin,
Bedford cord, silk, nunsveiling or
pique are employed, with trimmings
Of silk braid, lace or applique.
For the little flannel skirts take
two pieces of flannel 20 inches long
and join the two selvedged edges on
both sides, cut six inches down the
center Of one side for the placket,
which is then hemmed by hand. Take
a piece of cambria "A inches long and
II inches wide, and fold Gather the
body Of the skirt to this and sew so
that 10 raw seams show. Hem the
bottom by hand.
There are SO many ways of making
the sacks that it is rather hard 10
decide between them The little
nightingeles and kimonas are cut in
ope piece, and are easy to make The
former would be pretty worked in
piuue, linen or flannel in eyelet and
salin-stltch design and finished off
around the edges with scallops in
button-hole stitch. The kimonas are
usually made of flannel or outing
flannel, and the edges bound with
silk or satin ribbon to match the
material
A dainty little wrapper with tiny
Peter Pan collar and cuffs can be
made Of outing flannel or henrietta.
The edges of collar and cuffs and
hem are done in brier-stitch. with
pale pink or blue satin silk. 1t opens
in the front and Is tied with narrow
ribbon of corresponding color.
Some people prefer the little, cape
coat but for very young baby a
long cape is the best. A dainty cape
and cap combined can be made thus:
Take a piece of cloth A inches wide
and A inches long, preferably nuns
yelling or similar material, round
one corner for the top or hood. turn
In all around one inch for hem and
line with china silk for fall or spring
and eiderdown for winter; measure
down from the center of the rounded
part IL or IA inches and gather for
the neck of the cape. The hood is
then made by forming three box
pleats, one on each side and one on
top around the rounded end one and
one half inches from the edge. Fin
ish with narrow cream lace around
the edge and cream satin ribbon ro-
settles on the hood
The little shirts and stockings are
of fine silk and wool and can be pur-
chased at any dry goods store. as
can the bibs, bootees and yelling.
For baby's toilet box of good
talcum powder, a bar of pure CASTLE
soap, several pieces of old linen
nicely hemmed for wash rags, three
towels of some soft material, three
sizes of safety pins, and IL a baby
basket Is to be had powder puff,
fine comb, soap box and tiny hair
brush completes the list. The beauty
pins for dresses and caps may be
used.
