How to Serve Watermelon.

"Watermelons are especially cool
ing and refreshing on a hot day be-
cause. of quantities of deliciously
favored juice which they contain"
says Fannie Merritt Farmer, in Wom-
ans Home Companion. 1.-THE edible
portion is sometimes chilled, cut in
small cubes (removing seeds)
sprinkled with powdered sugar, and
arranged in coupe glasses for the first
course at luncheon or dinner. For
family use it is most attractively
served in one of the following ways:
Cut section three or four inches in
thickness from the centre of chilled
watermelon. With sharp knife cut
out circle of the pink pulp (the
edible portion) and place upon a
chilled serving dish of correct size.
Serve in pie-shaped pieces on chilled
plates, or cut off thick slice from
both ends of the melon Chat the
halves may stand leveD and cut in
halves crosswise. Arrange on a serv-
ing dish on bed of green leaves, If
any are at hand"

the up-turned portions of the crown,
whether this be at the back or at the
front. If the feathers are fastened,
then they come forward over the
crown, and vice versa.
Very stylish Is the very large leg
horn turned back right up from the
left temple and forced in this position
by feathers that sweep over the hat.
Others have the crown covered with
flowers and coming over the brims,
are turned up straight either behind
or before. This arrangement is very
effective, carried out in lilac, wistaria,
or laburnum or sage-green, or some
quite dark-green straw shapes, lined
with crepon or surah of the same
color as the flowers.
If the brim is rolled at the side or
nearly in front, quantity of muslin
roses will sometimes be clustered over
the roll. A black straw hat trimmed
in this way has the crown covered
with puffings of black tulle. Another
pretty way of arranging roses
either muslin or Dresden roses-is to
make them up into close garland
or Gordon, which, after encircling the
back and right side of the crown,
passes over the brim (rolled on the
left side) and is continued around the
outside of it, close to the hair, to the
back. l was shown big hat of black

USES OF RAVELUINGS.

There is nothing better for darning
from the coarsest. heaviest goods to
the sheerest, finest lawns than ravel-
lings of the same. After darning and
pressing it can be done to be almost
imperceptible, and nothing is better
for hemming wells or very thin mus
Inns. Where there is not much strain
on the hem, use short needlefuls. and
for darning table cloths and napkins
save the threads when preparing to
hem or hemstitch.-Mrs. Melvin Could

TRAVELLING CHEAPLY.

THE best you can get on a jour
ney," said a seasoned traveller, is
none too good"
There Is truth in this statement,
but everybody cannot get the best,
inadequate as even that may be. An
increasingly large number of busy
workers have to travel cheaply If they
are to travel at all, but they need not
travel uncomfortably on that account,
especially on long journeys. A brave
and gay spirit, however, can make
light of many discomforts that crush
the grumbler, and soupcon of COM
mon ~ense when one is making prep
arations for long trip in the tourist
instead of the Pullman cars will go
far to lessen the natural envy the
tourist" will probably feel as wealth.
Ter fellow travellers sweep toward
their plush covered seats.
A young woman who has crossed
the Continent four times as tourist
passenger declares it can be done
very comfortably, especially if two or
more travel together. She recon-
mends that the porter be tipped at
the start, wisely, but not too we'll,
with a hint of further emoulment as
it shall be deserved. He will then
afford gladly all the aid you need in
the preparation of meals.
Before you pack up your provis-
IONS she says, make as many
cheesecloth bags from three to six
inches square as you expect to have
meals. Half fill them with tea or cot.

Old Mexican Remembers the Comet

Among the visitors to the city re-
Gently was an old man from the State
of Oaxaca, Jose Maria Mancero<by
name, who was born ninety-eight
years ago in little village in the dis
trict of IXtlan de Juarez.
Mr.. Mancero remembers the HALEY
comet which appeared in 1885. At
that time he was still living upon a
ranch in what is now Ixtlan de
Juarez, where he still lives. He re-
lates that the Indians were scared out
of their wits and that an unprincipled
priest collected hundreds of dollars
to pay for masses for the souls of
those who should be killed when the
tail of the comet should brush the
earth.
For several weeks this priest went
throughout the State preaching of the
day of vengeance that was to come
on account of the iniquities of the
Liberal party, some soldiers of whom
had robbed some churches in Ixtlan.
He was a most dramatic and realistic
talker, and he had hundreds of poor
Indians SO thoroughly frightened that
they fled to the hills, where they hid
in the caves in the mountainsides, so
as to be out of the influence of the
poisonous breath of the comet.-Mex-
lean Herald.

Some of the checked habutai silks
are unusually attractive. They are
to be had in a wide range of colors.
AS rule afternoon hats are large,
with wide, rolling brims, forming a
most lovely background for the face.
The thin muslin collar, appliqued
or inset with lace or embroidered mo-
tits, is the latest conner in the round
styles. ,
The lace dress, whether of chantil-
ly or other hand-run laces, will I'M
doubtedly be a feature of the coming
season.
Sleeves tucked in groups with
landings showing handwork separat-
ing the groups are seen in some of the
new gowns.
There are big wired bows of chan
lilly, like graceful butterflies, which
are being shown on many of the new
millinery models.
Perhaps the most conspicuous fea-'
ture in the latest waists is the use OF
chantilly lace for the main portion Of
the body and sleeves.
The first evening toilet worn in
mourning is usually of chiffon over
dull silk, lit up with touch of jet
and hand embroidery.
The ribbon sachet flowers are used
for all purposes, for muff, corset or
garter garnitures, and for sacAst,
skirt and shoulder bows <
Short dressing jackets show rib
bons at the throat, back, in front in
long loops and ends at the waist line.
which is usually rather short.
Hats are unusually attractive in
themselves, combining the charm Of
simplicity and graceful lines which
will be generally becoming.
Black-bordered handkerchiefs are
worn with crepe or plain black; also
onyx jewelry, silk watch guard and
white lisse for neck and sleeves.
Metal straws-that is, straw with
few threads of gold or silver woven
in it-are another new feature and a
most charming one for evening hats.

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots

for female ills, and such unquestion-
able testimony as the above proves the

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating. Symptoms That Should
Not be DisreQarded.

Appetite is just a natural desire
of the system for food necessary to
replace natural body waste. Loss
of appetite or stomach distress after
eating indicates indigestion or dys-
pepsia. Over-eating is habit very
dangerous to persons general
health, and Unsuitable appetite is
common symptom of diabetes.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some of the strongest,
heaviest and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will create
sickness or cause more trouble than
a disordered stomach, and many
people daily contract serious ma1a-
dies simply through disregard or
abuse of the stomach.
We urge everyone suffering from
any stomach arrangement, indiges-
ton or dyspepsia, whether acute or
chronic, to try ReXall Dyspepsia Tab
let's, with the distinct understanding
that we will refund their money
without question or formality, if
after reasonable use of this medi-
cine they are not satisfied with the
| CoulCo. w z lStOlilllc!lu Iutiu W
customers every day, and have yet
to hear of anyone who has not been
benefited by them.
We honestly believe Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets to be without equal.
! They are made from the prescription
of physician who devoted his time
to the study and treatment of stom-
ach troubles. They give very prompt
relief, stimulating the secretion of
gastric juices, strengthen the diges-
tive organs, aid to good digestion
and assimilation, regulate the bowels
and promote nutrition.
We urge you to try a 25 cent box
of Rexall dyspepsia Tablets, which
gives Is days treatment. At the
end of that time your money will be
returned to you if you are not salts
fed. OF course, in chronic cases
length of treatment varies. For
such cases we have two larger sizes,
which sell for SO cents and S1.OO.
Remember you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in Leon only at our store,
