Hints for Women.

The Dutch neck has created demand
for a new neck ornament as the laval
liere does not always lend itself grace
fully to decoration when the waist is col
larless, and agains the bare neck is not
always becoming.
In fact, only the pretty plump neck
should be entirely barred.
Therefore the dog collar is with US
again mot that It has ever entirely gone
ouD. but those who find the Dutch collar
trying are using this style of ornament as
a means of partly draping the neck. In
this design jet collars are the newest and
at the same time the most practical. The
handsomest are those that are barred
with the mock diamonds. The black vel
vet band drawn through a rhinestone
buckle Is another favored decoration.
These come In all widths of velvet and
buckles in varied sizes and designs. Prices
begin at 1915.
Many housekeepers are under the inn
preston that an icebox should be kept in
a cool place, and will place it in the cell
lar, If no better place is availa BILE, rather
than allow 1t to remain in the kitchen.

informs me that a. good up-to-date ice
box may be left in even a warm room

The refrigerator, however, must always
be placed where it is dry. A cellar is
usually too damp, even the best and dry
est of them.
Shantung as trimming and as a mate
rial for stretching over hats is feature
of many Of the Paris novelties. 1t is used
for facing panels and for lining coats.
Some of the present styles of hairdress-
Ing show actual punches of curIs and ring
lets at the side of the head, but these
are extreme and becoming to very few
The new scarf is quite voluminous, be-
Ing very wide and reaching almost to the
hem of the skirt, and various designs and
color schemes enter into their making.
A tailor-made suit of one of the new
heavily corded ottomans in a rich leather
shade. relieved with darker tone of vel
vet. would be the acme of elegance.
Millinery continues eccentric, though
sometimes extraordinarily pretty. but
much depends upon the coiffure under
meath and the tilt at which the hat is
poised.
Flowers promise to be worn more than
ever on summer hats. and among the spe-
cialties offered are water lilies in combi-
nation with other flowers.
There is new material called cotton
wolfe. 1t is so fine and soft that it must
be hung In silk, but for wear 1t is said
to be unsurpassed.

Deliver us from the appearance of evil
is quite as important supplication at this
development of society as it is to ask
heaven TO preserve us from actual sin.
Especially should one be most careful
not to do anything at a picnic that car
ries with it the slightest chance for mis-
Interpretation to that class of human be-
ings who seemingly are always on the
lookout to create gossip. For example, a
girl must not stray away from others at
the picnic with young man she has only
known for the day. and even an engaged
lover should deny himself the wish to
take his girl to a sequestered nook
for the harmless joy of holding hands,
lest the scandal monger put another in
depreciation on the act Dame Gossip is
person to be treated with respect, for
once she has had her finger in a repu-
tations pie the world is apt to wink it's
eye forever afterward.

Her COMPLEXION.

-HE inequalities of the gifts of the
gods are borne in upon woman
/ whose little housemaid has COM
plexion of peaches and cream, the texture
Of the skin like that of a baby. The
mistress does not begin to have as good
a complexion, and the point that most
troubles her is an inner conviction that
the little maid does not wash her face as
often as is considered correct by persons
who have been properly brought up.
"I know Mary doesn't wash her face

company doing business at Clinton.
In comparatively short time the
number of rural telephones in use
has increased from very few to
some 100 we believe, and new tele-

week. The service has improved at

complaint about it. AS shown by

Easy to Mix This.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from New York daily paper,
giving simple prescription, which
is said to be positive remedy for
backache or kidney or bladder de-
rangement, if taken before the stage
of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla, three ounces. Shake well in a
bottle and take in teaspoonful doses
after each meal and again at bed
time.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the ingredi-
ents are all harmless, and can be
obtained at small cost from any
good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up if asked to
do so. He futher stated that while
this prescription is often prescribed
in rheumatic Affections with SPLENDID
results, he could see no reason why
it would not be splendid remedy
for kidney and urinary troubles and
backache, as it has peculiar action
upon the kidney structure. cleansing
these most important organs and
helping them to sift and filter from
the blood the foul acids and waste
matter which cause sickness and
suffering. Those of our rsaders
who suffer can make no mistake in
giving it trial.
