tongue, lights a cigarette by the spark
that flashes from his finger tips; sits

iron bars to melt from the strength
of the current while he holds them in

When a man or woman
finds sickness coming on,
such as indigestion, weak
eyes, kidney trouble. ETC., it
is time some attention is
given to the subject of food
and drink.
In practically all such
cases where coffee or tea is
the drink. one can obtain re-
lief by quitting the coffee or
tea and taking Postum, for
he leaves off drink that is
an active producer of disease
and takes in its place a pow
erful liquid food that con-
tains elements for rebuild

have heretofore been torn

TwEEps POPULAR
FOR SCHOOL WEAR

The favorite materials for school
coats are heavy tweeds. plain or with
a double face, and wool serges. Many
Of the dress coats are in white curly
lamb. or in white fur-trimmed cloth.
Quantities of ready-to-wear models
are offered in plush and other cloths
that initiate furs. The fancy for the
all-white outer costume for children
under eight was never before so gen.
orally followed. Sometimes IL is varied
by an all-black costume (where the
family is in mourning). or by a pale
tan or gray suit. The imitation and
real fur suits usually comprise leggins
and caps and bonnets to match.

OLDEST LOVE LETTER
One Written 1000 Years Ago Has Been
Discovered in chaldea.

One Written 1000 Years Ago Has Been
Discovered in chaldea.
A love letter 1000 years old has late
ly been discovered in Chaldea. The
lady to whom it was addressed lived in
Sippara, the Biblical Sepharvani Her
beloved was a resident of Babylon.
In contrast to the position which
women hold at the present day in the
Orient they possessed in antiquity a
greater degree of freedom. In many
respects the Oriental woman of an
tiquity was graced with as much
privilege as is the modern European
woman. Particularly in Chaldea she
could participate in trade, manipulate
her own property, be a witness before
court and be the guardian of her own
children. OF the position of women
in Egypt we know less, but doubtless
1t was much higher than that Of the
present Mohammedan women.
In one respect. however. it seems
that custom has been changed very
slightly. for marriage was essentially
an affair of trade between the parents
of the bridegroom and those Of the
bride. This is ascertained from the
legal code of Hammurabi, King of
Babylon, B. c. 2200. The future hus-
band paid the price of the bride and
her father provided her dover and
trousseau. Under these circumstances
there was no such courtship as pre-
cedes marriage in accordance with
Occidental ideas. Still one may be-
lieve that many a love letter on pa
pyrus or clay passed secretly between
the hands of the bridal pair during
the interval OF their engagement.
The y-discovered letter is writ
ten in clay and probably dates from
1900 B. c. Though somewhat formal.
the reader can feel the tenderness that
lies hidden between its lines 1t

Many persons actually think that
the apron is the badge of servitude,
but the history Of the apron dates
back to the time when Eve made an
apron of fig leaves. Then the Mason's s
apron owes its birth to the days of
Solomon and so on down the line to
the present day, when 1t has lost none

a badge of servitude, as its general

BLACK NEcKTIEs
ON DUTCH COLLARS

Even the unobservant must have no
ticed the recurrence of black neckties
on smart costumes this summer. With
the Dutch collars are worn fat pump
bows of black velvet or silk and often
a jabot of lace or embroidery lawn
falls below.
Black ties also give cachet to colored
linen frocks and even TO white COS
tunes. often one of these crisp black
ties being used with dangling Jet ear
rings and a huge black hat The touch
of black just beneath the chin is be-
coming and frequently makes a dead

SHOULD TAKE CARE
WASHING BLANKETS

Women usually wait until the hot
days of summer before washing blank
cts knowing that it will take hot sun
shine to bleach them, dry them per-
fectly or make them light when new.
The secret Of blanket washing is the
use of tepid water for washing and
rinsing and the process of washing is
more easily accomplished If each
blanket or pair of them is washed in
a good washing machine.
Place the blankets in the washing
machine and cover with a tepid water
containing one bar Of dissolved yellow
soap.
Wash until the blankets look clean.

One of the distinctive features of the
year is the rejuvenation OF the old
time jersey.
Formerly these jersey garments we're
worn with dark skirts to form a per-
fectly plain costume, but later girls
found that they were convenient to
wear over summer dresses; that they
protected them from vagrant breezes
and fitted the figure becomingly. From
these then grew the sweater, and the
jersey was forgotten for a time; but
now il has reappeared.
The new Jersey is of silk. a material
as lustrous as satin and of weaves
so fine that from a distance, even a
