NEW YORK, March 30.-The striped
cotton madras cloths are likely to be
used for early spring gowns. They
come in half openwork and satin fin
ish to the stripes. A new touch is ad-
ded this year which puts them in the
same class as the robe gowns. On the
bottom of the skirt portion is a
kneeEdeep design all around which
shows wide apart meanderings partly
in braid work, with touches of satin
stitch figures in vogue. There is
showiness in this sprawling crudeness
for skirt ornamentation The model
chosen for such a gown was a one
piece affair The skirt comes up just
a little above the waist line and the
bodice hos much the effect of a bolero
The embroidery is used to trim, bands
of the cloth about two inches wide
being worked in lowered design with
dark blue floss. This is generously put
on. and borders around the yoke, the
cap of the sleeve the cuff and also
forms a half belt on either side. Espe-

PEACH ROT.

At last we have a remedy for pre-
venting the peach rot which so often
sweeps away the crop just as it is
ripening. This is a solution known
as self-boiled lime-sulphur.
Heretofore nothing could be done to
prevent the spread of the rot because
too much injury to the leaves of the
trees.
An insect known as curculio helps
to spread the rot by gouging holes in
the peaches. Sometimes this bug
punches holes in the fruit for the pur-
pose of depositing its eggs, but more
often it seems to do so out of pure
devitry The rot generally starts
from these wounds.
Paris green won d poison the cur
culio but it Injuries the foliage of the
tree Likewise Bordeaux mixture
would control the rot, but 1t is even
more disastrous to the leaves than
paris green. AS a substitute for paris
green a poison known as lead arsenate
is used and it has lately been found
by the United States department of
agriculture that it can be combined
with the newly discovered self-DOiled
limesulphur solution and both spray
ed on the trees at the same time, thus
controlling both the insect and the
disease.
Use 4 pounds Of arsenate of lead to
100 gallons of water, is used q, one, or
to 100 gallons of the lime-sulphur if
both are to be used at the same time.
Spray as follows: First with the
lead arsenate alone a pounds to 100
of water), when the shucks are she'd
ding The second spraying should come
from two to three weeks later or about
one month after the petals drop. using
the self-boiled lime sulphur alone.
The cost of materials, labor and
everything for three sprayings as adj
vised above, will amount to less than

Are Furious

CAIRO, Egypt, March 29.-Former
President Roosevelt's address before
the Egyptian university has aroused
the extreme naitonalists to state of
fury. Seven hundred students this
evening marched to his hotel and
demonstrated against him, shouting.
Down with autocracy. Give us
constitution"
The demonstrators were applauded
by the many spectators and some of
the guests left the hotel, fearing VOL
ence. Colonel Roosevelt was not in
the hotel at the time, but drove up
shortly afterward. He said he had
heard the noise which reminded him
of American college boys, but he had
no idea that he was the cause Of it.
Another protest meeting was held
this evening, at which speeches less
violent than at the first meeting were
made. Great efforts were put forth
to induce Colonel Roosevelt to attend,
but he smilingly declined.

the parties thereto seem to be getting
any fun out of it except the Rock Is

it with bad faith 1t was this way:
A month or so ago all the Omaha
Chicago lines filed notice with the
interstate commerce commission that
they would advance rates on meat at
an early date. But the Rock Island
failed to make the advance from
certain point on its system, just
packing houses in South Omaha, so
when the new rate became effective,
the Rock Island, through the techni-
cality, got oil the business, said bus

Treatment for a Dry Skin.
During these early spring days many
women are troubled with dry skins as
the result of cold weather, over-heated
rooms and very frequently of excessive
use Of hot water and soap. also of cos
metics which do not agree with the
skin.
A dry skin is fertile field for
wrinkles and sagging tissues.
Use a cleansing cream in place Of
hot water and soap in the morning and
toilet water to keep the skin clean
during the day Or in the morning use
tepid water, dashing it on the face.

In the springtime a wise woman
turns her attention to her complexion
as we'll as wardrobe.
A new gown and hat have distress
ing way of relentlessly revealing
blemished skin. The truth of this as
sertion was forced upon me the other
day, when young woman, exquistely
gowned for a theater party, had her
appearance seriously marred by sal
low skin, further disfigured by pim-
pies on the cheeks and chin.
No amount of Dreaming or powder
could hide these blemishes.
Her hair was beautifully done, her
gown and hat smartly designed and
admirably suited to her tall, slender
figure. But the haunting memory OF
that unlovely complexion chung tena-
ciously to my mind, despite the charm
of her toilette.
The designations of the past winter
late hours, insufficient rest, heavy rich
foods, lack, of exercise, overheated
rooms and too many sweets are indis-
cretions that will play havoc with the
fairest skin. The average woman's skin
certainly does look the worse for
wear, as careful scrutiny of her COM
plexion will prove.
A woman's mirror is her only trust
worthy confidant.
Cause Corrected and Removed.
Internal and external treatments
are positively essential, for the COM
plexion is a pretty safe guide OF ones
physical condition.
The stomach and liver divide honors
in destroying the beauty of the COM
plexion when these organs are abused.
The liver, when too inactive or over
worked, causes the skin to become yell
low and assume queer appearance, 70
which the term muddy has been ap-
piled. The stomach causes numerous
eruptions and kindred complexion ills.
The work of both organs are so close
" allied that when one is out of tone
the other becomes sympathetic and
likewise goes on a strike.
l believe that a glass of hot water,
with a dash of salt in it, slipped slowly
hall an hour or longer before meals, to
be a partial corrective, at least for
many internal disorders, including rvs
pepsia, bowel torpidity, inactive liver
and kidneys. Dyspepsia frequently
causes eruptions not only on the face,
but on the other parts of the body as

capital, imported workmen from
Wales, with Eng ish machinery, start

Then he discovered the Rock Island
road, a collection of rights of way
running in any given direction from
Chicago. 1t began nowhere and it
issued more stock and bought other
roads and built some and fused up

made a real system out of it.
