NEW IDEA



1t doesn't pay to stick too closely to
old notions of things. New ideas often
lead to better health, success and hap
plness.
A Wis. couple examined an Idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The hus'
band writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were s~leepless, nervous
sallow, weak, and irritable. My wife
and l both loved coffee and thought II
was a bracer" (deiusion).
FINALLY, after years of suffering, 70
read Of Postum and the harmfulness OF
coffee, and believing that to grow we
should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made it right we liked II
and were relieved of Ills caused BY
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, sturdier nerves, better
temper, etc.
"These changes were not sudden, but
relief increased as we continued 10
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
Many of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make 1t right. But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on pkg
until It was dark and rich, they liked
It better than coffee and were benefited
by the change" There's a Reason"

AMERlcAN BEAUTY sAcHEr.

Each year sees a new fashion In -ar-
fume. The winter of 1909 will give tc the
American Beauty the apples Of success.
This is the new perfume, and the ul.
tra-fashionable thing Of the day Is to
have 1t in sachet or a drop of it for your
clothes or a cake Of soap to use on special
occasions.
h Americans have taken II up moi
only with patriotism but enthusiasm,
Heretofore they AVE always used the
French perfumes under French names.
h sachets of this sell from rs cents
up and are confined in an envelope OF
American Beauty satin. The odor is subtle
and lasting.
Only a small bottle OF the esssence IL
needed, as a drop is enough for a gown
The smart women put a drop or two on
a piece of gauze or cotton and tuck "A
away in the evening gown.
One drop OF it put ON a blouse perfumes
is as though it had been put away in a
pot-pourri Of American Beauty rose

SHORT SKIRTS CALL
FOR SHAPELY SHOES
Style Demands Shorter Skirts
and Good Looking Feet Are
Thus Made Necessary.

1t is rather peculiar, and a condition
hard to define. that even the street
suits of sombre hue look conspicuous,
ALI women who are dressed according
to the new fashions stand out clear
iy. Suits and hats are definite. strik-
ing, Individual.
Women are not In mass az much as
they used to be. There is something
almost sensational about an ordinary
street suit that Is cut according to new
ines and made OF new cloth, although
that cloth may be black, blue or brown,
If one wishes to be analytical, one
sould possibly find that the reason to a
greater extent was the very short skirt,
Woe to the who hasn't a good
foot or who cannot afford good looking
iootgear.
Effect Is Bad.
The girl who wears a short skirt be-
cause OF sanitary reasons is usually
old fashioned enough to wear square
toed, fiat-heeled boots. The effect, as
far as grace and style is concerned, is
about as bad as one could hope to
avoid.
she is the last one who cares, be-
she prides herself on dressing ac-
cording to common sense and not fash
Ion. but fortunately h is in the minor
ty. ... u..
Other women wear short skirts for
fashion and convenience; especially the
former. They recognize the Importance
IF g~ood-looking shoes, and they have
enough to know tfGt the new
round-toed boot with straight up and
down Spanish heel Is more healthy than
The other style. .
Shoes An Essential.
The girl who conforms to fashion
enough to have her skirt cut from four
to I've inches above floor should save
enough u of the suit allowance to get
fashionable shoes.
When she wear both she is as well
dressed for the American streets as one
would care to be.
However, she Is conspicuous In a GER
tain sense simply because she is differ
emit from all hat has been. The short
narrow skirt and the calf high boot
with the long elaborate coat, give her a
foreign air.
Yet she looks smart and we'll dressed
and, as this fashion has been entirely
accepted by women who follow style
1t has made the ordinary costume OF
last winter look shabby and out OF
date. &.

FASHION TIPS.

Tailored dresses are enjoying a great
favor n are not confined to the Sc
we're simplicity OF the mannish cos
tune. They are divided into two
classes, one the trotter, untrimmed and
plainly tailored, and the other what is
known as a dressmaker's tailor gown.
For the latter style black is immense
ly popular, and the rough finished, but
soft fabrics are the popular ones. Bed
ford cord, Olympia cord, herringbone
stripes and diagonals, as we'll as serges
and tweeds, being generally employed,
while the ever beautiful broadcloths
are left for the more elaborate toll
cites. In colors, black, taupe, prunelle
and blue lead for daytime wear. Null
berry, all tints OF wine, berry, rose and
the chocolate and cedar browns are
chosen for dress occasions. The pea
cock shades that were put out early
in the season have received less atten
ton than expected. but several shades
of blue, notably navy. old blue and
military, are often seen, and some OF
the brighter shades, in. combination
with black are not lacking in attrac-
tiVeneSS.

A Frenohman on Our Energy.
NJ. Firmin Roz, in the Revue des Deul

nA- hhAh ANONt - NHN ASNfaS Tvs DSuA
The Puritans OF Yorkshire disembarked
on a land that offered them nothing, but
promised everything. 1t invited TO labor;
and the pioneer had only to advance in
order to conquer. Property spread out be.
fore him, unbounded, free. n offered to
his simple effort. And the development Of
industry, h progress of steam M cleo.
tricity, and the discovery OF mines re.
suited In a tenfold expansion of energy,
initiative, and daring. An UNEMPLOYED
world awaited the hand and mind of man;
and man responded to this appeal.
There was no burdensome legacy from
the past to hamper the free hands of the
workers: their effort turned spontaneous
ly toward the future Action was concen-
trated toward a single end-the production
OF wealth. This was a primordial condl-
ton of life before It became an ambition.
Whereas other peoples have expended
their energies in safeguarding their from
tiers from enemies or rivals and in real
izing their dreams OF military glory, the
colonists of New England and the citizens
OF the young republic devoted themselves
to economic development and to the most
intense labor. The latter characteristic
continues to the present time. 1t stamps
each Individual with it's imprint, n thus
reduces to uniformity the continually In
creasing diversity of races and peoples
thrown by immigration on the shores Of
the western hemisphere.
Physical energy of effort dominates the
entire psychology OF the American.
Pioneers, trappers of the North cow
boys of western solitudes, seekers for
gold, soldiers of foTtune-all subsist by
this force of energy. This initial necessity
has never changed. One finds 1T even
among the kings of industry of railroads
and OF finance.

LEMON GOOD FOR COMPLEXION

Facial messages n the use of a
Camel's hair face scrubbing brush will
give tone to your skin. They serve to
stir the circulation and bring the blood
to the surface. Drink plenty OF pure
water. Drink at least eight large
tumblerfuls a day, preferably on arts
ing. between meals, and before retiring,
You Will find that the juice of a lemon
squeezed into a ,tumbler Of water and
taken occasionally, the last thing al
night or first thing in the morning
has a wonderful effect upon the com
plexion. After taking the lemon always
clean the teeth, as the acid quickly pro-
notes decay.
