A Feature Of the Big Celebration

F. w. Noyes, of Versailles, who is
instructing the Ladies Band of Slower,
is making great effort TO have this
Band, which is only six months old,
in the best possible shape for the 4th
OF July celebration. He comes here
every Monday night, and this week
he gave them a trial of street march
ing which lasted quite while. The
evening rehearsal lasted full three
hours, and with many more evenings
of such improvement as has been
shown the past two weeks the Ladies
Band of Slower need not fear to match
themselves with any band Of their age.
The Band has eleven members, as
follows: Mrs. B. T. Vickery, her
daughters, Clara and Anita; Mrs. S.
P. Chism, Misses Lottie Butcher,
Viola Warnke, Ola Johnson, Bertha
and Ida Leutjen, Grace Wright and
Leila Hoffman. Mrs. Vickery and
Miss Butcher play solo cornets, Miss
Warnke 1st B-cornet, Miss Johnson
B-clarinet, Miss Ida Leutjen E-bass
Miss Bertha Luetjen Baritone, Miss
Clara Vickery 1st E-alto, Miss Anits
Vickery 1st Tenor-trombone, Mis-.
Leila Hoffman End E-alto, Mrs. S
P. Chism Bass drum, Miss Grace
Wright Snare drum.
They will be iE new uniforms tn.
4th, and will have band stand fo
their own use.
Residents of the northeast end uset
to think that Mr.. Noyes and the La

they welcome the cool of the evenin,
and the sweet sounds that usual
come with it from the band ladies

MEDIUM STYLES FOR SPRING
Coming Millinery Will Offer Many
Choices, SO That Surely All
May Be Suited.

The woman who cannot find millin-
cry to suit her this season will indeed
be very difficult to please. Not in
many years has 1t been made possible
for women to be so sanely and, at the
same time, so fashionably hated as
at present.
The styles are medium in all things
Crowns are moderately high, brims
are neither too wide nor too narrow,
and trimmings are in no wise exag-
gerated
The smart-looking turbans are most
attractive and come In variety Of
models and colorings to suit every
type of face. AS a rule, two colors
are combined. and not infrequently
two fabrics besides the trimmings. A
soft, coarse, rather wide straw and
the fine braid of crinoline are favor
ed combination. The crown in folds
Will be Of the heavier straw and the
crushed brim of the crinoline or hair.
The golden shades, which include lem
on, ecru and leghorn, are preferred for
the crown. while the brim will be Of
contrasting color. as blue, dark red,
green or black.
No less attractive than the shapes
are the trimmings. The cockade Of
chanticleer red velvet decorating a
hat of golden and black tones is an
example of smart, becoming lines. A
modified sugar loaf hat, the crown en-
tirely concealed under tiny rosebuds.
and the brim Of black flexible straw,
is another pretty model. A tiny
blackbird nesting on the left side is
the only trimming.
The fashionable trimmings are small
flowers, single quilts, small birds. me-
dunn wings, soft ribbons and velvet.

Now for Turned-Up Hats.

Once more will 1t be possible to
see women's eyes and hair. Hat brims
still will be large, but they are to be
turned up. Hats with straw brims that
turn up boldly In front, at the side or
front and back are seen among the
models for the fast coming spring
time. They come in all sizes. One
of the new forms is Is inches long and
% inches wide. Extra large hats, how
ever, will be worn only be the extrem.
lists. Even women are weary of them,
for they have been carried to such alb
surd measurements that they no long.

EDITOR BROWNE
OF The Rockford Morning Star.

About seven years ago I ceased
drinking coffee to give your Postum
trial.
II had suffered acutely from various
forms of indigestion and my stomach
had become SO disordered as to repel
almost every sort of substantial food.
My general health was bad. At close
intervals would suffer severe attacks
which confined me in bed for a week
or more. Soon after changing from
coffee to Postum the indigestion
abated, and in short time ceased
entirely. 1 have continued the daily
use of your excellent Food Drink and
assure you most cordially that I am
indebted to you for the relief it has
brought me.
Wishing you continued success. I
am Yours very truly,

Managing Editor"
OF course, when a mans health
shows he can stand coffee kithout
trouble, let him drink It, but most
highly organized brain-workers sim
ply cannot.
The drugs natural to the coffee ber-
ry affect the stomach and other organs
and thence to the complex nervous
system, throwing 1t out of balance and
producing disorders In various parts
of the body. Keep up this daily pois-
oning and serious disease generally
supervenes. So when man or woman
finds that coffee is a smooth bit dead
ly enemy and health is of aftvalue
at all, there is but one road-quit
1t is easy to find out II coffee be the
cause Of the troubles, for II left Off 10
days and Postum be used in its place
and the sick and diseased conditions
begin to disappear, the proof Is un-
| answerable.
Postum is not good II made by short
boiling. It must be boiled full 10 min
utes after boiling begins, when the
crisp flavor and the food elements are
brought out of the grains and the bev-
erage is ready to fulfill its mission OF
palatable comfort and renewing the
cells and nerve centers broken down
by coffee.

The Cardinals Coach,

A cardinal must not walk in the
streets of Rome or in the populous
districts beyond the walls. He goes
in closed carriage drawn by ambling
and well-groomed black horses. Be
fore the loss of the temporal power
the carriages were scarlet, drawn by
four or six horses, surmounted by a
gilt railing resembling a crown. Val
cts and coachmen wore gorgeous liv.
cries and three other carriages con-
veyed the secretaries and chaplains
of his eminence. These equipages
were laid down in 1870, and some OF
them may be seen taking farmers and
their families to the Roman mar.

roof and where the Wallets stood be-

Exhortinu the Ducks.

There are two tiny boys in this town
whose mother sings often to them at
their request, and as she is an ardent
church woman, the children hear as
many hymns as anything else. The 9TH
er day they were playing with their
wooden ducks in the bathtub, and
strangely enough the ducks were more
inclined to float sideways than in the
approved manner. After several at
tempts to keep the misguided ducks
straight the older boy shouted:
Stand up, duck, stand up" Then
two-year-old, noting the familiar
phrase, leaned over the tub agd ex-
horted "'Tand up, duck! 'TaaNd up
for Jesus!"

GOOD BUSINESS MEN IN ROME
Book Publishers Turned Out Work
Quickly and With Ample Assur-
ancc'o Profit.

There were in Augustan Rome es-
not only turned out large numbers
of books. but many editions of them,
and at an incredibly small price (says
Algernon Tassin in the Bookman).
That their arrangements were bust
ness-like may be inferred from the
testimony of Horace. He relates
that when an author failed to please
the metropolis the publishers shipped
the entire edition of his works to the
provinces, and if he still failed to go
on as writer they made arrangements
TO bring him pack again and sell him
as paper to the pastry and spice
shops. One great firm in Rome had
over two thousand trained slave
copyists; and their work was swift
and cheap, for Martial writes that
they had ready an edition of thou
sand copies of his "Epigrams" in just
one hour to be sold at ten cents a
copy. The exceedingly large reading
public which all this indicates must
have Eeen many years in growing,
and one may assume that Rome had
long been a city of readers. Attfcus,
the publisher Of Cicero, had q great
many modern methods in the conduct
OF his business, and the fact that
Caesars Commentaries" were very
quickly dispatched to the outposts of
civilization shows that the machinery
of distribution was also we'll organic
ed. Thus we may conclude that the
advertising and publicity department
was in good shape.

The hair braids and hemps are
greatly favored for dress hats to be
trimmed with French plumes and lace

are liked for big masses of flowers.
Many of these trimmed with big
punches of lilacs are blooming in tri-
