jured here at o'clock this morning
when a fast silk train on the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad
crashed into the rear of the Colum-

THEY DRAW THE LINE
Naturally Men DisapproVe Of ExtraVa-
gance When Their Own Purse
Is Concerned.

Mrs. William B. Leeds, who took
Mrs. George Keppel's house in Lon
don for the coronation season, came
from New York with 40 huge trunks,
all the same size, and all mounted with
shining brass, all claret-colored, and
all as lustrous as the body Of a motor
ear.
Mrs. Leeds, as her 40 trunks imply,
dresses very beautifully. She spends
a large amount on her wardrobe, and
discussing the fact that woman's
dress is so much more expensive and
so much less durable than mans, she
once said:
1--WE women dress foolishly, and we
will continue to do SO till men disap-
prove; but" she smiled on the men
at the table-"no mar in the world

gance in a woman unless she hap

Harm In Too Much Exercise.

DR.. Lawrason Brown and DR.. F. H.
Heise of Saranac Lake, in an article
on Properly Regulated Rest and Elk
ercise in Pulmonary Tuberculosis" in
the June number of the Journal Of the
Outdoor Life, holds that the action
Of the poisonous germs Of this disease
on the body is very similar to that Of
overexercise. The poisonous irrita-
ton caused by the germs gives the
organs and tissues Of the body a dou-
BILE load to carry. Drs. Brown and
Heise emphasize the Importance Of
rest in the treatment Of tuberculo-
sis, but also insist that properly reg
ulated exercise is very necessary.
They state their conclusions thus:
ITO sum up, exercise when properly
regulated and systematically graded
is an important factor in the treat.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then 1t would
break out again and 1t spread all owe
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. I bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had 1t about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. l sent and
got a bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles Of Resolvent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and we'll, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what l put
them on. I think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one ia
use 1t. Cuticura Soap is the best that
l have ever used for toilet purposes"

HOME MADE DRESSES
WONDERS CAN BE WROUGHT BY
CLEVER WOMAN.
Any Woman With Taste and Ten Fin
gers Can Be Dressed In Up-to-
Date Style at Very Small
Expense.

Recently l saw a collection of
homemade dresses, and they We're all
SO up-to-date in style and had cost so
little that, old stager as | am in mat
tiers of dress, | marveled, at the sight
of them. They had been made by
three sisters, young women who are
expected to dress well, and the cost
Of the little frocks-three, mind YOU
was just four dollars and sixty.nine
cents. This estimate may seem in
credible to the casual reader, but |
have made a round of the shops to
look at just such materials as these
girls used and found the exact ones
ranging from three and a half cents
a yard to fifteen. Each of the gowns
seen took eight yards of goods, the
texture for one costing tw~enty-eight
cents and the other two a dollar TWEEN
ty. The rest Of the money went for
the trimmings, thread, hooks and eyes.
Fancy a dainty morning dress for
%sixty-nine cents and one good enough
to go anywhere in the afternoon for
two dollars! Why should not every
woman with taste and ten fingers be
dressed as we'll as these three girls,
who, however, l must tell you, did not
select their material with the first
glance through the shops. They looked
until they found just the right colors
for their compilations, just the right
bit of lace or net or contrasting gauze
for trimming, and the result in each
case was a chef d'oeuvre of taste.
Could there be a sweeter thing for
morning in town or country than the
little frock Of plain goods trimmed
with spotted shown in our illustra-
ton? Mademoiselle may wear 1t
shopping, she may go boating in 1t,
she may loll about country Verandas,
or go visiting, or to club lunches in
such toggery, with which, of course, a
plain white straw sailor hat won d be
the proper ~headpiece.
Materials for the gown? They are
endless, but for the outing look the
style calls for the exceptions must be

a fair girl or young matron white cot
ton duck could form the gown proper
and this blue and white, violet and

and cuffs. The dark girl would lool

BATHING SUITS OF MoHAIR
Most Practical of All Material, Being
Light in Weight and Very
Durable.

Such a boon is ones own bathing
suit. First Of all 1t really Ats, and
this 10 a point no woman will ever
overlook. And next 1t is SO much
more sanitary and hygienic that a
woman is certainly repaid for her
trouble in getting 1t.
So, If you are going where there is
bathing, try to take your own suit.
For this purpose there is no mate
rial more practical than mohair. 1t is
SO light in weight, so durable and
sheds water so quickly and readily
thaE there is no other fabric which
QUITE equals it.
Plack is the most preferred color,
but blue or brown are serviceable and
attractive,
And for this very purpose there are
many grades in good widths at SO
cents, rs cents a yard and upwards. In
