no time to waste. so In his Bakersfield prac-

mula which was found to be effective in local
cases. He prepared what he termed mixed in

lives 1t has already saved. As far as experiments
have gone, It might be called the pneumonia anti
toxin. 1t is composed of equal portions of the
counter-irritants to the three germs predominant
in pneumonia. This mixture the result Of
long experiment and is unquestionably a certain
remedy for pneumonia in Bakersfield.

Making News Of Virtue.

Crime is exaggerated by critics OF
the newspaper more than by the news
paper itself. Criminal news actually
forms a much smaller part of the
normal newspaper than many fault
finders loosely assume. The Boston
press gave more space to Moody and
Sankey In their first great series of
meetings thirty-fve years ago than
it ever had given to any unworthy
pair, and within two years the reports
of big and protracted religious rally
in Boston filed a larger number OF
news columns than the reports of any
criminal case in the history Of the
city.
While the unusual is the news most
in demand by editors and readers, it is
not necessarily news of the unusually
bad The virtuous, if their virtue
takes unusual shape or scope, can
make news. Virtue itself, however,
is not news, and it will be a sorry
day when simple weIl doing becomes
news in any community.-BostoD

LOW-CUT WAIST ESSENTIAL
Costume for Theater Must Have This
Dstinction-Both Comfortable
and Suitable.

The low-cut waist is far more uni
versally popular since the wearing Of
evening dress at the theater has be-
come fashionable. Today, although
there is no necessity for really de-
collete gown, the waist that is open
at the throat is correct in style and
incidentally is far more comfortable
and suitable than the one made of
heavy material and with high boned
collar.
Theater dress is quite important
nowadays, and is practically the same
as the simple dinner dress. The diff
ference between it and the ball gown
is evident to any one initiated into the
mysteries of dress. 1t may be every
whit as costly as the ball gown, but it
must look less expensive and it must
be cut not so low and have, as a rule,
longer sleeves.
This year there are many materials
that would seem to have been woven
especially for this use Among them
are the fascinating wolfe de sole, drap
de sole, marquisette, and always the
old favorite chiffon and liberty satin.
The satin-fnished crepe de Chine and
lace, also, must not be forgotten

TALE OF HOMESlCK PONY

Twelve years ago George Lawrence
rode from Menard county, Texas, to
i point in Louisiana, 20 miles west
of New Orleans. The animal ridden
was a native Texas pony. Several
times, shortly after his arrival in Lou
isiana, the pony got out Of the in
closure where it was kept and started
back to Texas, one time covering so
miles of the way before it was caught,
Early in January, this year, the pony
was missing, and was believed to have
been stolen. Search was made at
the time, but no clue to the where
abOuts Of the pony could be obtained.
Then Lawrence got a letter from an
old friend in MenaTd county, telling
him that the pony had come back
to the plains of Texas and had been
recognized by the brand. The animal
had gone 500 miles between the Lou
isiana point and its old home in Me
naTd county, finding its way back to
its nativity after a lapse Of twelve
years.

MAGPlE THIEVES ACC0MPLCE

Six thieves and a maybe have been
run in by the Paris police. The bird,
true to it's instinct, was an active
member of the gang. It did not pur
loin on it's own account, but its help
was invaluable. The six thieves, all
under sixteen, chose a supplemented
tradesman and entered his shop. The
bird was perched on the wrist of one
of the boys, and did tricks, bowed
danced and chartered. The ingenious
shopkeeper was amused. Suddenly
the maybe flew up and perched near
the ceiling, out of reach. The boys
and the shopkeeper started hunting
for the bird-not all the boys, how
ever, for one of them stopped behind,
near the till, and emptied 1t. A wills
tie called the bird down, and bird
and boysh were off with their booty.

is ONLY FOR EXPERT
BORDURE FOULARDs NOT EASY
FOR ORDINARY DREssMAKER.
Beautiful Effects Are Produced In
Hands of SkiiIfuI Seamstress--
Seasons Models Less Attractive
Than Other Utility Gowns.

On the whole the foulard models
This season are rather less attractive
than some of the other general utility
frOcks, but one sees many that are
practical and pretty, the best being as
a rule combined with plain one tone
silk. a large proportion of the foulards
have borders, and borders, while
often beautiful, are never easy for the
ordinary dressmaker to handle. Per
haps that is why so many of the sea
sons foulard models leave much to
be desired.
Successfully handled, the bordure
foulards make up very smartly and
the knowing makers do not hesitate
to cut the border off and apply it
wherever it can be used to better pur-
pose in that way. A very simple dark
blue and white fouIard model had its
deep brOcade border utilized only on
the bottom of the tunfc, while the
bodice trimming was Of white en-
broidery.
The vivid cOlorings which this sea-
son is displaying are undoubtedly bet
ter in one tone or changeabIe color
ings and in yelled effects than in the
figured silks, and that is another rea-
son Why many Of the foulards look
hot and garish, but in white and black
and in blue and white foulard is an in
dispensable summer standby for many
women, and there are some foulards
with dark grounds and very narrow
line stripes of color which make up
charmingly for one piece trotting
frocks.
Enormous amounts of etamine of
very fine wolfe and of chiffon are be-
ing used for everything from street
frOcks to evening frocks, usually in
combination with plain silk of some
sort, and very lovely sheer stuff,
known as satin wolfe meteore, is much
liked for dressy uses. 1t is a very
sheer silk wolfe with satin finish, often
! changeable in coloring, and anything
lovelier in texture and coIoring it
would be hard to imagine.
Delicate pink, changing to lilac;
blue, melting into lavender; soft vel
low, changing to faint green; deeper
harmonies of fuchsia pink and purple,
king blue, and green-these are some
of the color schemes, and one may
have the material, too, in one tone
tints of great variety.
The changeable idea enters, too,
into some delightful, figured, sheer
stuffs. A wonderfully chic little frock

Dainty little silk sachets are just
