NOVEL BUT NOT so USEFUL
Pincushion for the Woman Who Does
Not Insist Upon Utility as I'm
portant Feature.

A cushion for the woman who does
not insist upon utility is made in the
shape of heart six inches at its wild
est part. 1t is cut from a heavy mus
lin. filled with wool or bran and COW
cred with satin in any bright color.
For the top make a much smaller
heart from handkerchief linen or fine
lawn. and work 1t with delicate open
design in Madeira embroidery. Use a
fine white mercerized cotton. as the
embroidery should be delicate. Sew
a quarter-inch insertion of German
Valenciennes to edge and join another
strip of the insertion to lace an inch
wide. Sew evenly without filling.
Join the two sections by fagoting
stitch In the same shade as the satin
pincushion. This should be a half
inch deep.
The Joining Of the two parts must
be done on heavy paper. which has
a heart the desired size of cover
traced on it.

The NIahtaown Of Swiss.

Quite new and decidedly pretty
innovation of feminine lingerie is the
nightgown Of sheer dotted Swiss and
fine nainsook combined. Both fab
RIGS are very appropriate for lingerie
purposes and one wonders no one
ever thought Of combining them be-
fore. The dotted Swiss is used for
the upper or yoke part and the sleeves
while the plain cloth is utilized In
the full skirt. This combination is
especially pretty in making an empire
style nightgown and the Swiss and
nainsook are joined at the bust line
by sheer ribbon run beading. The
girl who makes her own undermus-
Inns might vary this little by using
allover embroidery in place OF the
dotted Swiss. And any clever woman
will see numberless pretty possibilities
in combining the two materials.

Useful Accessories.

Separate guimpes and undersleeves
made up In matching sets, are great
additions to a limited wardrobe, for
almost all summer gowns and bodices
are made for these. A cheap filet lace
in a rich cream. covered with black or
white chiffon. is one good choice for
these useful accessories. Have the
neck collarless. and with either black
or white use bias OF black satin for
edges. Another set would be pretty

A bonnet with two short plumes Is
shown for an older girl. This is a
lingerie model with little crochet
balls. braid and motifs applied to the
brim and crown. Batiste or swiss EN-.

The two soft short plumes are

INSANITY ON THE INCREASE
Number Of Afflicted In the United
States Is Assuming Alarming
Proportions.

The number of insane persons in
hospitals in the United States on jan
uary l. 1904. was not less than 150.151.
This was more than double the
number Of 1890. which was 74.02S.
From 1904 to 1910 the insane in hos
pitfalls in New York alone increased

Homer Folks in the American Review

hospitals in the United States number
at least 100000.

to the population of "a rospitals for

FALSE HUNGER
A Symptom Of Stomach Trouble Cor
rected by Good Food.

There is. with some forms of stom-
ach trouble. an abnormal craving for
food which is frequently mistaken for

time my appetite continued good. only
the more l ate the more l wanted to
eat-I was always hungry.
THE first symptoms of my break
down were distressing nervousness
and loss Of flesh. Tho nervousness
grew SO bad that finally 1t amounted to
actual prostration. Then came stom-
ach troubles. which were very painful,
constipation which brought on piles,
dyspepsia and severe nervous head
aches.
The doctors seemed powerless to
help mo. said l was overworked. and

Of Grape-Nuts food. and from that
day to this have found 1t delicious

II owe my restoration to health to

you don't have to know anything about
HNOMEI except that you breathe it and
that it does not contain cocaine or opium
or any harmful drug.
You can find out all about HYOMEI

Just get an outfit today, read the simple
instructions, give it fair trial and then
if you are not willing to say that it is the
best remedy for catarrh you have ever
used w. II. Sheldon will gladly return
your money.
