THERE is something about fringe

signed for older women particularly
well. 1t is made of rich materials, as
lace, chenille, satin and silk, and is
carefully and compactly put together.
Now that 1t Is SO fashionable, many
hats are trimmed with it. and some Of
them entirely covered with the narrow

There ere so many bonnet-like
shapes this season that are worn by
young and old alike, that there is a
wider choice than heretofore for older
women. These shapes are unusually
softening and becoming and very
agreeable change from turban and
toque shapes which have been worn
for so many years Older women
should consider them with favor. They

The sermon and the song got Pete RusselFs
nerves. He sat in the middle seat of pew in
the very middle of the corps of midshipmen with
officers at the front, at both fanks and at the
rear. Under the strain of the thing Pete stood
up, whisted melodiously, but very loudly the tune

first stanza of Sun of My Soul" and then before
the bewildered and shocked officers could put in
interference, he calmly commanded the SOLO

They grabbed Pete out from his middle pew
seat and marched him down the aisle under
guard. When the corps dismissed and was
marching back to the barracks Pete was going in
the opposite direction headed for the prison ship
Santee with his books and his blanket swung
his shoulder.
AS he passed the marching mddies and the
officers in command he heard loudly solilo

Missouri Mules for Africa

Bv the steamship Welsh Prince, which arrived in
Cane Town the first week of February, says the
Daily Consular and Trade Report, there came a
shipment of American mules which, by those COM
petent to know are adjudged to be the hnest mules
yet landed in South Africa.
They were purchased by weknown local farm
er who toured the state of Missouri to get them on
behalf of Brice Bros of Springs, who hold the con-
tract for the supply of mules to the Johannesburg
corporation The shipment consists of 124 mules,
all of which are four to seven years of age and
stand Is hands in height this being the stipulation
made by the corporation who further stipulated
that they must all be bred in the state of Missouri
which is in such high repute as mule breeding
country
representative of the South African News had
an opportunity of seeing the shipment, and he
states that they are a magnificent lot and have
stood the trip from America well. Seven days were
required for their railway transportation to the
American port 80 days at sea, with three more days
to johannesburg.
On one occasion a heavy sea was shipped and
portions of the mule boxes washed away. The cap
tain of the vessel slowed the vessel down for three
hours while the whole erected other boxes On
considering the time the mules had been on the
journey they looked well and fit This is the Sec
ond shipment that Brice Bros have brought. Ac-
cording to a local dealer, the mules just imported
are worth C 100 ($4S665) to G120 ($5SS .9S) pair
in Cape Town.
IF we could breed mules like those in this coun-
try, said South African authority, "our fortunes
would be made" The buyer stated that mules were
very dear in Missouri $40 ($19466) each being
considered an average price and while in Missouri
he saw one pair which realized $4,000.

ECZEMA BROKE OUT ON BABY

when my baby was two months
old, she had eczema and rash very
badly. l noticed that. her face and
body broke out very suddenly, thick,
and red as coal of fire. l did not
know what to do. The doctor ordered
CASTLE soap and powders, but they
did no good. She would scratch, as
it itched, and she cried, and did not
sleep for more than a week. One
day l saw in the paper the advertise
ment of the Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, so l got them and
tried them at once. My baby's face
was as a cake of sores.
When l first used the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, could
see difference. In color it was red
der. l continued with them. My
baby was in terrible condition. l
used the Cuticura Remedies (Soap
and Ointment) four times a day, and
in two weeks she was quite well. The
Cuticura Remedies healed her skin
perfectly, and her skin is now pretty
and fine through using them. l also
use the Cuticura Soap today, and will
continue to, for it makes a lovely
skin. Every mother should use the
Cuticura Remedies. They are good
for all sores, and the Cuticura Soap
is also good for shampooing the hair.

friends how the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment cured my baby of eczema
