Remarkable Prices.

These made -to-measure garments cost but
little more than one pays for ready -mades
The man-talored suits, made to your meas
ure, run from $13 so to $45. The man-tail-
ored skirts run from $3.50 to SIS, and the
coats from $3.50 to $25.0O. These prices,
remember, are for garments made to your in
dividual measure, with all the man-tailored
effects.
The reason is that the American Ladies
Taiors make thousand garments where
the ordinary tailor makes one. They buy
their materials direct from the mills and in
enormous lots. Their expert supervision is
distributed over very large output.
These prices will be amazing to people who
know what man-tailored garments, made to
measure, usually cost.

ABUSES ARE DECREASING
April Reports Show That Cases Are
Decreasing and Attendants
Discharged.

Despite the efforts of the state
hoard of control and the superintend-
ents of the state insane hospitals to
stamp out every vestige of abuse to
patients, the reports for the month
of April as submitted to the board of
control show that there were a few
instances during the month.
In each case the attendant suspect
ed was promptly discharged. The
number of cases is also less than
ever before. Apparently the effort
to clean out all such practices is hav-
ing its effect.
Il suppose there will always be iso-
lated cases so long as human nature
is constituted as it is" said ]. T.
Hamilton of the state board of con,
troll yesterday. occasionally there
will be an attendant who is unable
to keep his temper who may do VIC
lence when provoked. These people
are being weeded out as rapidly as
possible. The investigation of the
recent legislative committee showed
for one thing that the cases of gen
uine cruelty are few and far between
and the reports for the month Of
April show only minor offenses that
could hardly be called abuse. but
which resulted in the patient gettins

| day She was a guest in an old New
| England town, and missed nothing,
| either OF preparation or observance.
She helped gather flowers for the
children, who came begging them all
day, and listened to their condolences:
| MY grandfather, he was a soldier.
There's flowers and a flag on his
grave, anyway, but we bring flowers,
too" This basketful's going to the

Yes'm, we decorate for the exercises,
and take 'em up to the cemetery aft
erward."
| On Memorial day she attended the
exercises; saw the rows of young
faces turned attentively toward the
| fine old man in faded uniform, who
spoke we'll and simply of the duties
of a citizen in war and peace; heard
the children sing; saw them salute
the flag.
Then came the procession-the old
soldiers, most in carriages. a sturdy
| few on foot; the town officials; the
militiamen; the boys brigade; the
fire company. With the crowd she
followed to the ancient burying-
ground.
She saw blossoms and little waving
flags placed where lay men who had
served in the Spanish war. the civil
war, the Mexican war, the revolution,
and under a quaint stone, lichened and
aslant, soldier of King Philips war;
not one forgotten, not one neglected.
She observed how everywhere, in
every burial-plot, there were more
flowers; how, naturally and simply,
the day was coming to be one of re-
membrance, not of soldiers, only, but
of all the honored and beloved dead;
how friends, meeting among the fra
grant paths, talked quietly OF those
gone. or of the great historic days;
or noted with appreciation the grace
of memorial garlands or the beauty of
clustered flowers.

TO ENFORCE STOOkEY LAW
EXAMINERS ADOPT
STRICT MEASURES.
Applicants For First Grade Teachers
Certificates Must Show Past
Experience.

Stricter enforcement of the clause
in the Stookey law requiring credits
for sixteen hours a week of profes.
sional training from college graduates
who are applicants for first grade
five-year teachers certificates was
decided upon by the state board Of
educational examiners in session at
the state house.
When the Stookey law went into
effect two years ago the board inter.
preted the statutes leniently and per-
mitted graduates OF recognized col
leges to take out first grade certifi-
Gates without insisting upon the
credits for courses in pedagogy,
psychology and similar subjects
which comprise professional training.
The educators have decided that
the period of grace should expire and
there exists no further justification
for failing to comply with the law,
which requires that at least six
teen hours week during the college
course Of an applicant for certifi-
cate who does not wish to take the
examination shall be devoted to
courses in professional training.
About 200 teachers in the state
were permitted to draw certificates
since the law went into effect who
had not taken the required courses,
with the understanding that they
should make up this work within two
years. Many have done so, but
others are worrying about the re-
newal Of their certificates, which
were to run two years and to be re-
newed for the five-year period only
after the required work had been
made up.
The board went over a long list
of candidates for positions as read
ers of examination papers and sub,
mitted to State Superintendent Riggs
smaller list of eligible ones from
which to choose. The next meeting
of the board will be held June IS.

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink It?

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as nurse, while on night duty, /
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and it was quite natural that
l should want a good, hot cup of cof-
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and l could keep awake better.
After three or four years of coffee
drinking / became a nervous wreck
and thought that l simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
/ was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
after being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
II began taking Postum, and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant. but /
liked the taste of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
Finally began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After a
years use of Postum now feel like a
new woman-have not had any bilious
attacks since I left off coffee"
