Many Americans seem to think that
the value of cheese has just been dis

almost twice that of meat and its I'M
common absorbability.
For ages the Italians. the Iberians
and other peoples who are largely
vegetarian not from choice but from
dire necessity have been scattering
grated cheese over their macaroni and
in their maigre soups, and have thus
cheaply met the craving for the high

FRENCH POLICE ARE SHREWD
With Eut Slight Clue Detectives Run
Down MurGerous Gang in
Sums of Paris.

A very c'ever stroke of business
has just been accomplished by the
criminal detective department, which
has succeeded in capturing a masked
band of four robbers, owing to the
simple information that one of them
was wearing a top hat when they
tried to break into a house in the
country in the middle of January.
The house was inhabited by a woman
in very comfortable circumstances,
and her maid, says a Paris dispatch
to the London Telegraph. They were
aroused on that night from their
slumbers by the barking of the dog,
and the maid. peering out of win
dow, beheld several men in the gar.
den, one of whom was trying to pick
the lock of the front door Enjoinins
silence he pointed a revolver at her,
but she rushed up to the roof and
pulled vigorously at an alarm bell
which by previous arrangement vita
the neighbors was TO bring them to
the spot If trouble came. Lights
promptly flashed out at the Windows
of the houses near and men called out
Don't be afraid; we are coming to
your assistance"
The robbers took the hint and were
soon speeding toward Paris in the mo
tor car which had brought them. They
were all wearing masks and the only
.lue that the maid could furnish was
hat one of them was a very big man
and had top hat.
The sub-chief of the criminal de-
tective department argued that there
were not many very tall men wearing
top hats in Paris who went on such
burglarious expeditions, so he set to
work, and on learning that person
answering to the description given
was often at a certain bar in Paris he
set inspectors on the track, with the
result that the man was captured
there. He turns out to be an old Of
fender, and he frankly stated that he
and his friends had planned the MUIR
der of the old woman and her maid,
and had on a previous occasion
started for the place, but had had to
give the enterprise up that night, as
their motor car had broken down
on the way. The three accomplices,
all of whom are old offenders, too, are
in custody.

Something Ideal in All.

Every man is idealistic; only it so
often happens he has the wrong ideal.
Every man is incurably sentimental,
but unfortunately, it is so often a
false sentiment. When we talk, for

thing for money. He would do some
things for money; he would sell his
soul for money. for instance; and, as
Mirabeau humoroNsly said he would
be quite wise ito take money for
muck" He would Cypress humanity
for money; but then it happens that
humanity and the soul are not things
that he believes in; they are not his
ideals But he has his own dim and
delicate ideals and he would not
violate these for money. He would
not drink out of a soup tureen, for
money. He would not wear his coat

not spread a report that he had soft
ening of the brain, for money.-Gil-

TUB DRESSES FOR A DOLLAR
Dainty Frocks in All Sorts of DESIGNS
Are Now Well Within the
Reach of All.

1t is astonishing how many dainty
frocks for the summer can be made
these days setting the limit of ex-
penditures at 81, including the pat
terms and threads.
Never before have so many delicate
designs been shown in inexpensive
lawns and ginghams, and the bust
ness girl should begin now to make
the smart little dresses which she will
wear to the Office during the coming
summer
Two things should be remembered.
One is that much trimming of any
sort detracts both from the cool eff
feet of the gown and makes 1t bad to
launder; the second is that however
dainty the very light materials are
they are far less serviceable than a
plaid or a plain buff or blue dress.

with or without yoke. Thus for Is
cents you will provide yourself with
a pattern for several frocks.
Next, few yards of white null and
some inexpensive lace will make
broad collars and cuffs and a fichu or
dainty pointed yoke, all of which
will serve as trimming, for your
gowns.
Then as to materials. Ginghams,
plain ones, may be purchased as low
as s and 10 cents yard. A good
quality of lawn in dark colors is
only a cent or two more in price.

CRIMINAL NEGLECT
OF SKIN AND HAIR

Cuticura Soap and Ointment do so
much for poor compilations, red,
rough hands, and dry, thin and fall

almost criminal not to use them.
Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of fguration-physical be-
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of clear skin, soft white hands and
good hair. These blessings are often
only a matter of little thoughtful,

Cuticura Soap, assisted when neces-
sary by gentle anointings with Cuti-
cura Ointment. The latest Cuticura
