There are many varieties of wings

method of using them is to mount
them point upward to encircle the

Ended Cats soIourn.

Felix Smith of Easton, Pa, bought
a cat the other day He paid IS for
her. Why did Felix pay five bucks
for the cat? Answer-Because she
was guaranteed to be a good ratter.
Did Felix have rats? We should say
he did-the house was full Of EN-!
And the cat cleaned 'em QUIT No;
that's the curious part Of It. After
the cat had been on the job a week
the rats were as plentiful as ever.
Felix couldn't understand it until one
evening he concealed himself in the
basement to watch the cat. About 8
p. m, as the cat sat with her eye on
a rat hole, Felix says that rat after
rat came out Of the hole, walked up
to the old cat, kissed her goodnight,
and then returned to the hole After
that Felix kicked the cat out Of the
house.-Boston Post.

BRIGHT PARASoLS AND SHOES
Dainty Summer Frocks Offset and
Made Attractive by Other
Wearing Apparel.

Dainty summer frocks are greatly
improved in the wearing by contrast
with bright colored parasols and
shoes. This fad for colored shoes
seems to increase rather than wane
with every week of the advancing
season Satin seems to be the favor
ite material for the shoes, half shoes
and pumps, though there are some
shown in the suede. A heavy quail
fly of rajah is one of the novelties
in shoes, while moire continues in
favor, and leather is seen only at
long intervals.
One charming frock, built of white
voile, had touches Of violet at the
waist and throat. With it were worn
deep purple pumps, with stockings

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion Of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired ju-
dicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sundower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value Of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past years Grape-Nu&9
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my family3
everyday life
1T has proved to be most healthfsl
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive Of
disease it is beyond value. ! have been
particularly impressed by the benef-
cial effects Of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound OF
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. It sat

power of resisting fatigue, while its
use involves none Of the dfsacreeablo

Button Hints.

To sew buttons onto garments so
that they will last long time, thread
the needle with strong linen thread.
double it and twist It by keeping the
knot between the teeth and turning
the needle round between your fin
gers, then draw the thread through a
piece of beeswax or a candle This
is the tailor's method; the button will
hold on as long as the fabric holds to-
gether.
In sewing on buttons place a pin
between the button and the material
and then sew on in the usual way,
afterward pulling out the pin. The
button is then not drawn tight to the
fabric, so that in fastening it it goes
through the buttonhole without drag
ging at the fabric.
