A DANGEROUS COUGH

About two years ago my wife was

and for three months had u very bad
cough. with all the symptoms of con-
sumption. Ninol was recommended
and she began taking Il; before the
first bottle was used her appetite was
better, and she was improving I'm
health; by tho time she had taken
three bottles the cough was gone. She
is still taking Ninol and cannot say
too much in its praise" n. l.. Steble-
ton. Newark, Ohio.
The reason that Ninol is so sue

the only preparation that contains

Gods livers, but no oil.
Without hesitation we proclaim our

Eads and Fashions.


The gown that moulds the figure with
out crease is by no means the only ad-
Vocate for favor.
There are more draperies than there
We're among which is a new tunic very
slightly full upon the hips.
Another tunic. slashed in front as SC
many OF the new models are, has the full
ness drawn into points at the sides
weighed down by heavy tassels.
The dalmatic, with its burden of lovely
bullion embroidery. is one OF the new
modes.
Peacocks have strutted their way into
an sorts of decorative effects lately. EN-
broidered upon a silk gown. in the natu-
raj dye, 1t is very charming.
The new Napoleonic collar is high witt

Is cut away in front to show tall stock
from which falls a jabot Of pleated and
lace-edged lawn.

edged with velvet. Wide Chantilly lace i.
used. It is graceful and looks well ovei
other materials.
It is used with white satin frocks and
with dull pinks and blues.

The New Bolero.


Many variations of bolero are seen
and one of the prettiest is OF the brassiere'
or shoulder strap type, with much more
material used in front than at the back.
In front the fabric is sloped out TO show
a guimpe and collar OF lace or embroid-
cred cambric. below which Il drapes the
figure gracefully. The shoulder straps that
give this particular type Of bolero It's
name are usually made handsome by
means OF embroidery, or are composed oi
gallon of a rich type. and If for evening
wear, will be studded with gems. AT the
back the little garment disappears almost
entirely; indeed, the sides are narrowed
into a strip, which is fastened invis.bly
The brassiere lends itself capitally TO tho
establishment OF an afternoon toilette OF
drap de sole. in which case the sleeves
match the guimpe, but there need be nc
repetition OF the embroideries or galor
used in the scheme upon the skirt.

bills be sung instead Of read when
called FOR final action. He has sug-
gested that Reading Clerk McNabb
sing the title and enacting clause. that
Speaker Cooper sing the first para
graph and that the bill be passed along
so that each member can sing a para
graph or section as may be desired
BY this method Colonel Ainscow thinks
the House could display its artistic
temperament along with chartering
towns. and there would be unending
paeans or pains for the members-jusr
which the Colonel has not decided.
The only drawback 10 his method
that he has foreseen IS that by the
time one or two members sing their
little piece the other members may be-
come so agonized that they will be
forced TO flee, and the bill after all
would have 10 go back TO Reading
Clerk McNabb 10 be droned out by
him.

Watching a Stomach
Digest Food
Was the Means Whereby Science Made
Possible the Cure Of Dyspepsia.


Possible the Cure Of Dyspepsia.
The Abbe Spallanzani was the first
scientist to study systematically the
chemical powers OF the gastric juice,
but Il was by tho careful and convince
ing experiments Of Beaumont that the
foundation OF our exact knowledge of
its composition and action was laid.
Beaumont was an army surgeon, To-
Gated at an obscure military post In
Michigan, while il was yet a terri
tory and was called upon to treat a
gun shot wound Of the stomach In a
Canadian voyageur-Alexis st. Martin.
When tho wound healed a permanent
opening was left by means OF which
food could be placed In the stomach
and gastric juice taken from IT,
Beaumont made scientific experiments
with his crude means and wrote a book,
which today is recognized among the
classics Of physiology.
Beaumont blazed the way for other
scientists so that today medicine knows
what the stomach does with food and
what food does 20 the stomach.
/ Science also knows what the gastric
juices are and how 20 make them best
l for the system.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. thanks to
the poor army surgeon and Alexis st.
| Martin. give man a means Of digesting
food. replenishing the exhausted juices,
soothing the nerves and correcting dys-
pcptic conditions of tho stomach.

Asbestos Mats Save the TabI..

Most of the fear of spelling the din
ing table with hot dishes is removed
by the use of the handy little asbestos
mats of all sizes. from the smallest at
ten cents to those measuring 54 inches
in diameter to fit the top Of a large
round dining table and costing four or
five dollars.
Sections are made to meet the sn-
largement Of the table by leaves.
Linen covers for the small mats are
finished in scallops and sometimes
further ornamented.
For the family table il is sometimes
convenient to slip a large oval mat
between the table linen and the silence
padding just where the hot meat dish
win come.
one or two smaller ones may be used
in this way for vegetables.

To Keen Flowers Fresh.

Cut flowers more than repay any
care~we may give them, in the length
Of time they will last.
Roses should have fresh water every
day; they should not be kept in not
room, or at any rate not near radi-
ator or lamp; at night they should be
put in receptacle deep enough for
the water to come up to the blossoms,
the tops sprayed with an atomizer and
covered with wax paper and the whole
set in a cold place.
Carnations. on the other hand.
should not be sprinkled on top. Other
wise they should be treated in the
same wav as roses. An inch of stem
should be cut off Of each every day.
Violets. after they have been worn,
will come out fresh and almost as good
as new each day. if they are properly
treated. Clip the stems, without cut
ting the bouquet apart, and put the
flowers into a deep glass. Sprinkle the
heads and cover them tightly with a
piece Of wax paper and set them in
the refrigerator or out Of doors.
One very important point is to keer
the vases clean. Contaminated water
kills them. For this reason the vases
should be washed out with soap and
water whenever they show sign of be.
coming the least bit soiled inside.
The new spring flowers. except III.
lips. will last an unusually long time
Jonquills and phresias, treated in tho
same fashion as carnations. will last
a week or more. Mignonette will last
still longer, but its own stems con.

TEN BALLOONS IN RACE.
Contest For Lahm Cup Calls For Flight
Of Over AIS Miles.

OF ONoT ITO WuOSs
st. Louis, Oct. 5.-With atmospheric
conditions ideal ten balloons sailed
from st. Louis toward the southeast.
The passage above the city from the
grounds of the Aero club was made at
height of 500 feet. Sixty thousand
persons were on the Aero club grounds
and cheered the aeronauts.
Two of the balloons, the Peoria ana
Missouri, had gas bags of 10000 cubic
feet and were in a special race. The
others were $4,000 cubic feeters and
raced for medals and prizes. The
smaller gas bags are expected to re-
main in the air eighteen hours and the
larger ones forty hours.
The Cleveland was the first to get
away, and it was followed by st.
Louis III, Centennial, Pommery, New
York, University City, Indiana and
Hoosier.
All the balloons carry as much bal
last as possible for long flights. Under
the conditions in which they sailed
they will not have to let out gas until
tonight. The Lahm cup, now held by
Captain De Forest Chandler, is one of
the prizes sought by the aeropauts. A
flight Of more than ATS miles will get
