"inVis!bIe" Petticoats

Petticoats OF the softest, Simplest
satin underlie many of the new cos.
tune skirts, but they are so perfectly
put together that their presence ia not
suspected. They are fitted about the
hips as carefully as the gown itself.
and SO finished at the top that no
waist band is necessary. In fact. it
would be out Of the question to have
either a band Or yoke on them, as
the smocth-htting skirt would ineyf-
tatly betray their presence.
So far has the craze for invisible"
petticoats extended that in some quar-
tiers it is proposed to introduce so
lightweight material as creme de
chine and prevent it from clinging to
or rather winding itself about the
knees and ankles by using a deep
facing of soft satin as finish for the
bottom.

4 BURNING ERUPTION FROM

-Four years ago I suffered severely
with terrible eczema, being a mass
Of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time l suffered continual torture
from itching and burning. After being
given up by my doctor I was advised
to try Cuticura Remedies. After the
first bath with Cuticura Soap and ap-
plication of Cuticura Ointment l en-
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. l also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end Of that time 1 was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no i'll effects since. / would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cut-
cura Remedies, as I know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning,

Seeing Things to Do.

Seeing Things to Do.
There are some people who are al
ways seeing little things that they
may do for others. Comfort, little at
tentions that cost little and mean
much. To the ordinary Flooding NOR
tai who would be glad to do many
things; but never see them to do un-
til somebody does them. this art
seems a mystery 1t is really very sim
pie and one becomes proficient by
practise. One of the hardest things
we have to do in life and one in which
we have acquired little ability, most
Of us, is the noble art of putting our
self in our neighbours place, and judg-
ing from his standpoint.
The practise of this gentle art
makes us sensitive to times and sea-
sons, tactful and offering attentions
and generous in putting ourselves in
the background. In travelling one sees
more human nature in week than
we do among our acquaintances in
year, for even nice people, are think
ing of themselves too much and too
little of the comfort Of others. One
may endure the Sights of strangers,
and the selfishness shown by them,
but in the intimate relationship of
home life, thoughtfulness for others
will make or mar the happiness of a
life.

Salad DRESSINGS.

One Of the simplest of all salad
dressings is the one of oil and vine
gar called the French dressing. Olive
oil is so wholesome that the taste for
it should be cultivated Elderly peo-
pie especially need the oil to timber
up the stiffened joints and nourish
the wasting tissues
Where vinegar seems to disagree,
lemon juice may be used Use four
parts of oil to one of acid, as too much
acid is not good for the stomach.
Add half teaspoonful of salt and a
dash of pepper to the, above amount,
stirring with fork or spoon until
we'll mixed. Some tastes like a bit
Of onion juice added to the dressing

THIRTEEN INDICTED
PlUNDERlES BY OFFICIAL AL
LEGGED BY ROCK ISLAND
GRAND JURY.
SMALL SOCIETIES MERGED
Amalgamation of Fraternal Organiza-
tons Said to Have Been Followed
by Disappearance of Reserve
Fund. Made Practice of Merging.

Rock Island.-Indictmen against
thirteen persons were returned on
Wednesday by a Rock Island county
grand jury, which, since May 8, had
been Investigating alleged fraternal
insurance frauds.
All those indicted were officers of
the American Home Circle, or Of the
Fraternal Tribunes, Or were con-
cerned in the merger of the two So
cieties in 1908. This merger is said
to have been followed by the disap-
pearance of the tribune's reserve
fund of $4,000 and the alleged mis-
management of the society's affairs.
Those indicted are:
DR.. A. l.. Craig, c. F. Hatfield and
Max J. Franckel, Chicago; H. A. Weld
and Robert Rexdale, Rock Island !;
Thomas w. Wilson, Washington, D.
c.; Michael B. CARRIER, G. H. Walters
and George w. Kenny, Springfield;
S. S. McIlvane, Miss Margaret Nc
Ilvane and Ohio l.. Caldwell, Au-
burn, Ill; K. M. Witham, of Aledo,
Ill
Evidence adduced showed that the
band of men who were officers of
Home Circle for several years made
q practice Of merging smaller insur-
ance societies, getting control, and
by means of dummy note headers,
duplication In payment in policies
and other fraudulent practices, plum
dering the organization till it was
virtually wrecked.

Serving Strawberries.

The delicious strawberry served au
naturel can not be improved upon.
Place a small mound of powdered
sugar on paper dolly, then heap the
berries around it, leaving on the bulls.
When the strawberry leaves can be
obtained use them insted of the dolly
Nothing could be more appetizing on
hot morning or for first course at a
summer luncheon. Have the berries

Do not fail to prepare a glass or
two of sun preserved berries. They
will make a choice dish for the holt

One of the incest of pastries is the
strawberry pie. Bake a rich crust
and fill with chopped berries well
mixed with powdered sugar. Cover
with sweetened whipped cream and

Household Hints.

A cake that rises in the middle and
bursts open may have too much flour
in it, or the oven too hot at the be-
ginning.
When any baked mixture has large
holes in it, making it coarse grained,
too much baking powder has been
used. Many people consider the sift-
ing of flour several times to be great
task, but with two pieces of MANILA
paper one may sift it in few turns Of
the wrist. AS one of the secrets of sue
cess in cake making is the flour sift-
ing, let that process be done well, for
whatever is used to tighten the mix
ture must be we'll blended in order to
do its work.
The dreaming of the butter, adding
the sugar a little at a time is another
important point. Then the cutting and
folding in of the beaten whites just
at the last, and increasing the heat in
baking. Never decrease it.

A CoIored Tie.

The paisley tie Is a pretty touch
which will add richness to the mid
summer shirtwaist, and while the fash
ion expert persists In the passing Of
the separate skirt she suggests more
and still more ties that will, like the
paisley print, harmonic with this
skirt, which Is not in question, but out
of the count
All of this is a tacit consent to the
cool shirtwaist but wear the white
blouse with white linen skirt when
ever you can, instead of dividing your
self, and the pretty tie will prove none
the less effective.
Color enters in here, for the Persian
prints come in all tones and tints, and
the paisley tie is only at its best on
you when it Is chosen In a becoming
general tone.

the people turned away. Taft was
dragged into this fight as a shield for
his friends. He was battered down
unnecessarily in order to rebuke
those who sought to hide behind him.
His share in the defeat Is none the
less humiliating because his friends,
those whom he consulted and favored
in Kansas matters, selfishly brought
his name into the contest.
The men who are making the fight
for a free state ignored Taft His
name was not mentioned in any way
by those who were making the insur-
gent fight. But stand patters from the
governor down to the congressman

against the stand patters and let the
inference go where it would. This is
unfortunate, but Taft has his cowordly

name, to thank for tie result of the

was Curtis who said that a vote for
Stubs was vote against Taft, and the
people accepted that issue and nearly
doubled Stubs majority of two years
ago But Taft was not the issue in
this fight. The rebuke for him was
merely political, not fundamental. The
issue was tariff-the moral side of tar
if.
The newspapers more than any
other one agency won this fight for a
free state. And now Kansas joins the
ranks of the free states that have re-
pudiated Cannonism and the domina-
ton of AldriCh. In the whole west moi

Flavor of Tobacco

Tobacco owes it's flavor largely to
the process OF curing which the leaves
undergo after being stripped from the
plant. This process has generally been
attributed to the action of bacteria.
which have been found in considerable
numbers on the dry leaves, or to that
of ferments developed by the leaves
themselves. Recently, however, says
the University Correspondent. it has
been shown that the so called fer
mentatiOn OF tobacco IS simply a pro-
cess of oxidation. in which iron salts
play an essential part as catalytic
agents, without the Intervention of
either bacteria or ferments.'
