PLAIDS ALWAYS IN DEMAND |

Some Time.

The material most commented on
at present is Scotch plaid, which is al.

Indianapolis News. Numbers of fash.

with these new plaid costumes. The

Tintinn Lace.

A weak solution of permanganate of
potash will tint laces that deep shade
OF ecru so much used at present.
It must be carefully dissolved. 9TH
erwise 1t will produce stains which
are impossible to remove.
Test the dye with small piece of
muslin before dipping the lace If the
color Is too deep, dilute the solution
until the required hue is obtained.
Never allow the lace to remain In
the dye; simply dip In and out again.
Tea or O solution of coffee is excel
lent to tint laces. The latter pro-
duces the fashionable string color.
Lace trimmings to match the ma
terial of the frock are much used this
season.
With two or three simple colors
even an amateur can produce good re.
suits.

ACTUAL STARVATION
Facts About Indigestion and Its RELIEF
That Should Interest You

Although Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause and
cure. There is no reason why most peo-
pie should not eat anything they desire
ii they will only chew it carefully and
thoroughly. Many actually starve them
selves into sickness through fear OF eat
ing every good-looking, good smelling
and good tasting food, because it does
not agree with them.
The best thing to do is TO tit yourself
to digest any good food.
We believe we can relieve Dyspepsia.
We are so eonfdant OF this fact that we
guarantee and promise to supply the
medicine free Of all cost to everyone who
win use it, who is not perfectly satisfied
with the results which it produces. We
exact no promises, and put no one under
any obligation whatever. Surely nothing
could be fairer We are located right
here and our reputation should be suf-
fcient assurance Of our offer.
We want every one troubled with In
digestion or Dyspepsia in any form to
come to our store and buy a box Of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them
home and give them a reasonable trial
according to directions. Then, if not sat
isiied, come to us and get your money
back. They are very pleasant to take
they aid to sooth the irritable stomach

BAKER 81 SON.
lEyEEs ARE HOLDING.

Tallulah, April 3.-The weather for
the past SO hours has been ideal and will
prove a great factor in helping hold the
leyees, if it continues.
President j. I. Mcclellan of the Fifth
Louisiana Levee Board inspected the
Biggs and Reid's levees, which are sit
uated near the boundary line, between
Madison and Tensas parishes, to-day,
and on his return tonight reports the
two in excellent shape. The levees are
entirely dry and showing no signs Of
seipage. These two levees have been the
cause of the most concern, as they were
reported to be weakest in the Fifth Dis
trict line, but their present condition in
dicates they will not be the cause OF
further apprehension. The condition Of
the Biggs and Reds Ievees is also true,
Of the entire line, it so far showing intact
and in good condition. Large Ievee OUT
fits have been placed at the two points
named. Other similar outfits have been
placed along the entire line and all the
low places are being topped.
The worst situation at present, appears
to be near Arkansas City, Ark, in the
Fourth District, the situation there being
a serious one. Laborers in large numbers
are being rushed there and a determined
effort being made to hold the levees. A
break at that point would probably re-
lieve the situation in the Fifth District,
but would result in the overflow Of the
entire Tensas basin to the west oil here.
Several refugees from that point passed
through here to-day and report general
movement from there. Another party Of
men from the Tensas district, all heavily
armed, passed through tonight going te
Arkansas City, to act as levee guards
and to help in the fight in any way pos
sible.
