Jewels All In One Color.

1t is a distinct fad of the moment to
wear jewels all of one color. and that
in harmony with the color scheme of
the toilette. New wrist bags are of
hand crocheted. gold colored silk,
closely done and gathered to a gold
bar set with some curious stone. One
lately seen had, set in its handle, a
pale green stone with a dainty flying
figure in high relief, done in white.
The new parasols, whatever their
color, have sticks Of black or dark
wood. Most costly stones are set in
the handles.-Vogue.

For Foot Comfort.

A well-known chiropodist has given
this hint for shoe comfort: "Never
wear shoe that will not permit the
great toe to lie in straight line"
Cramping the toes not only gives
corns and bunions, but so affects the
feet that general misery follows.
Never let vanity. force you into a
shoe too small; the penalty is too
steep. 1t seemed that this particular
form Of Stiffness was disappearing, but

that the county construct a walk
across such ground and build a

condition "that the village of

was adopted by the board OF sup

A Radical Departure

There never was a time in the history
of the world when good stories and arti-
cles could command such large prices as
they do to-day 1t is an extremely ex-
pensive thing to publish high class
magazine nowadays, filled with the best
products of the most famous authors
and artists. Yet together with its many
attractive features the Chicago Record
Herald furnishes its readers with its
Sunday Magazine section that compares
favoraoly with the best weeklies and
NOTIFIES and has some merits peculiar to
itself. The most famous writer's and
illustrators contribute to 1t. Some of
the choicest novels of the year are pub
lished serially in its columns before they
see the light In book form. The best
new humorist since Mr.. Dooley began
writing is regular contributor to its
columns alone. To furnish such mag
azlne with every copy of Sunday news
paper is an amazing venture, yet the
experiment has proved complete sue
cess and Is now firmly established.

Qualified for "Ananias Club"

The following extract from

inst indicates an utter disregard
of fairness and truth and shows
a degree of mendacity that could
not possibly have come from any
other source than from the
camp of the boozers and booze
boosters:
To-day, at Paw Paw, the l. Cummings
dry goods store closed for invoice, and
later the goods will be sold out al sac
ritice. This was one Of the finest stores
IN Van Buren, county, doing lucrative
business, but since local option took eff
feet business of all kinds has waned to
such an extent in Paw Paw, and in fact
throughout the entire county, that deal
ers must necessarily, on account of pat
ronage going elsewhere resort to some
means to save their properties from to-
tai loss. "
Any person who would give
currency to such falsehood-min-
gled with so small a grain of truth,
is certainly an undesirable citi-
zen," and should hasten to ally
himself with the nearest access.
IDLE branch of the noted can
anias club"
1t is true that the Cummings
store was closed for invoice; that
the goods are being sold at adj
ministrator's sale; that Mr..
Cummings had one Of the finest
stores in Van Buren, county, and
that he was doing lucrative
business, but these statements
were made by the Star para
graphist only as ornamentation
to the plain, unvarnished lie that
follows, the circulation of which
was the sole purpose to be served
by the publication of the above
quotation in the columns of the
Star.
Mr. Cummings had resided in
Paw Paw from the days of his
boyhood until his death, and, by
his untiring industry, rugged
honesty and business ability,
had won the admiration and re-
spect of his fellow citizens and
had succeeded in building up
lucrative, successful and pros
porous business, never more
prosperous than during the years
of local option, as appears from
the personal statement of Mrs.
Cummings, published herewith.
Mrs. Cummings was always close
ly associated with her husband
in his business matters and
speaks from actual knowledge
and experience.

Worthy OF Emulation.

Announcement is made that
two of the most popular and tai
ented young ladies in the Cold
water high school senior class
will wear calico dresses at the
commencement exercises this
year.
The decision is certainly com
mendable in the young ladies
and an example that might well
be emulated in our local high
schools. Altogether too much
attention is given to dress by the
sweet girl graduate of the pres
ent day, and not infrequently
the color, kind of fabric, style,
etc. OF the commencement gown
receives more attention and
thought from the young ladies
of the graduating class than does
the more serious problems Of life
which she is supposed to be lay
ing the foundation. In the opin-
ion Of the True Northerner, this
is subject that should receive
more than passing consideration
by instructors in the high
schools of the country.

When Society Decays.

The prosperity of people is pro-

minds usefully employed. To the COM

wastes more than 1t acquires, must
gradually decay; and every being that
continues to be fed, and ceases to
labor, takes away something from the
public stock-Samuel Johnson.

1t is said that the starfish has a
unique way of escaping from a net
when it is caught; 1t falls apart, into
dozen fragments. and these frag-

the strangest part of it is that each
of the fragments becomes, in time, a

serve a starfish is to plunge it into
fresh water soon after il is taken;
