DRESSES FOR THE FISHER
GIRL ON HER VACATION
Short Skirt, Heavy Drilling Gloves, Sunbonnet and
Flannel Waist Are Worn as Pro-
lection From Sum-

One of the pleasantest sports of sum-
mer is fishing. but a maiden who ex-
poets to spend some hours on pier
or in boat must prepare to meet beauty
destroyers. For the impossibility of NOV
ing about simply makes the heat from
the sun more severe, and delicate skins
will burn through an ordinary blouse,
while hands and arms will be not only
disfigured but painful.
The fishing rig of a girl who often goes
fishing and does not burn her complexion
is simple but smart.
Plain stockings and pumps cover her
feet The skirt is short. even bit
shorter than the costumes one sees now
in the streets. For she wishes to have
unimpeded progress when it becomes nee
essary to step over ropes or swing around
a mast The skirt material is heavy
cloth, double faced, plain on the outside
and plaid on the inside. 1t Is heavily
stitched at the bottom. She wears no
under-petticoats. but in their place bloom
ers made of china silk. In color they are
dull gray. like the cloth. She finds this
skirt no warmer than duck would be
with the necessary petticoats beneath. II
does not become stringy or tumDled, and
if wet no harm Is done.
On her first excursion her blouses were
of plain cotton. and she came home at
the end Of day with her arms and neck
burned through very red and aching.
Now she has adopted thin white flannel
with soft embroidered turnover collar
and silk stock. This. like the skirt does
not become crumpled. and she says she
does not find it appreciably warmer than
| thick cotton. In case cool breeze
springs up she is sufficiently protected
and, best of all. her arms and neck are
not burned. Taffeta silk is equally pro-
tective, she declares. but wetting hurts
it. and when soiled it must be cleansed
not washed. as flannel
Her gloves are made of drilling. Iney

in the end it is much more economical.

HINTS FOR WOMEN.

Very pretty princess aprons of white
dotted Swiss can be bought ready to
wear for 30 cents, seemingly less than
the cost of the material. for they are full
and trimmed all around the lower edge
with a dainty little frill threaded bead
ing being arranged to define the princess
effect
There. are broad ties of the Swiss, and
the apron is we'll finished Dainty hand
kerchief sewing aprons are even less, be-
ing marked at ID cents. They are of
fancy figured material with a narrow
border.
Among the offerings IN dainty under
wear is a new model in a combination
suit. 1t is of nainsook and combines cor
set cover and drawers The latter. how
ever, is so full that 1t could be used for
a short petticoat. The corset cover is
elaborately trimmed at the top. with lace
and fine embroidery ribbon rim, while
the circular drawers, mounted on a
smooth fitting hip yoke. are also. lace
trimmed. There are slashings at the
sides trimmed with lace frills finished
with ties of pretty ribbon.

To Make Milk Beer.

Kumyss is considered excellent in cases
of impaired digestion. Personally / think
it is not equal to matzoOn or Zoolak. In
the manufacture of kumyss milk is not
sterilized, whereas in matzoon it is. In
the manufacture of kumySS some OF the
cream is removed and water added. In
matzoon there is nothing taken from the
milk and nothing added; therefore, it
contains more nourishment. There is no
doubt, however. but that many diseases
have been cured by a diet of kumyss
and that the invalid may subsis. on it
when other diets are rejected. The bene-
fit to be derived from kumyss is especial
ly to be noted in wasting diseases where
constant building up must be resorted TO
without entailing extra work for en-
feebled digestion.
In Russia it is valued SO highly that
sanatoriums where the 'kumyss cure IS
used are numerous.
Here is a good recipe for its making:
Put into a glass one cake of compressed
yeast. three teaspoonfuls sugar and nine
tablespoonfuls water. Let this stand for
an hour in a temperature OF 40 degrees.
This allows the ingredients to become
thoroughly blended and to reach the
stage where they will ferment in the
milk Heat three quarts fresh milk to
lukewarm tho more) stir the yeast mix
ture into it, and let stand anothe" hour.
keeping it at the same temperature. At
the end of that time it is ready to bottle
and much of the success will depend on
the way this is attended to-
The bottles should be steriliZed and air
tight so that the gas formed in the fer
menting liquid may not escape. The best
bottles are those surmounted by a metal
cap snapped snugly into pace by
spring These bottles hold a pint. and
may be purchased from houses that fur
nish glass supplies to druggists. After
the kumyss is bottled let it remain In the
same temperature for eight hours. shak-
ing occasionally. At the end of that
time il is ready for the ice box. where
it SHOULD remain for couple of days be-
fore using. When the heather is un-
usually hot, let the kumyss stand only
one hour, instead of eight, before putting
in the ice box. but If a thunder storm
is impending close the bottles immediate
| ly after the kumyss is turned in and
stand in the ice box. Each bottle should
| be shaken twice day. Care should be
taken IN opening a bottle of kumyss to
| hold 1t over plate. as it opens with
pop and runs over. kumyss that is
made right will bubble and foam while
being poured out having the appear
ance of rich cream with whipped cream
on top

Names of Dead Not Available.

Until Capt. Rogers returns here it is i'm
possible to secure the names of the men
who perished with the Cowle. Survivors
say that they include both engineers. the
four firemen, four deckhands. the second
cook. porter. and an oiler named Patten.
First reports from the deck of the Scott
as she lmped back into harbor here were
that eleven men had been drowned, but
after the ship had docked questioning of
the survivors placed the totai figure at
fourteen
The Scott received serious injury in the
collision which would probably have sent
her to the bottom also if she had been
loaded The forward compartment was
stove in. Capt. Macarthur of the Scott
declares that the first intimation he had
of the Cowle's presence was when the
great hull doomed up through the fog. SO

Collides With Steamer Isaac M.
scott-Heavy Fog Responsible.
Both Boats Built of Steel.

SAULT STE. MARIE. Mich. July 13.-
Three minutes after the steel steamers
Isaac NJ. Scott and John B. Cowle had
collided in Lake Superior yesterday,
about a mile and a half off Whitetish
Point lighthouse. the Cowle had gone to
the bottom in fifty fathoms of water
carrying with her fourteen members of
her crew The Scott. although badly
damaged about the bows, put back to
this port where she arrived in the after
noon. with part of the crew of the
Cowle.
A heavy fog was responsible for the
collision. The Scott. a new boat on her
maiden trip to the head of the lakes, had
just passed the light at Whitefish point
and Strengthened out her course up the
lake. when suddenly the John b. Cowle
oomed up through the fog, broadside on
to the Scott and only few feet away.
The Cowle was downbound with 5000 tons
of iron ore in the hold.
Impossible to Avoid Collision.
The ships were so close that it was
impossible to avoid a collision. and the
Scott crashed into the side of the heavily
laden Cowle. For fifteen feet the bow of
the Scott penetrated the side of the
Cowle Tons of water rushed into the
great opening. and in three minutes the
Cowle had settled to the bottom of Lake
Superior.
Immediately after the collision a line
was thrown from the deck of the Scott TO
the forward deck of the Cowle. and three
members of the crew escaped to the
deck of the upbound boat by this means.
The rest of the crew who were saved
jumped from the sinking steamer into
the lake, some without life preservers,
