HARD TO SEE.
Even When the Facts About Coffee
are Plain.

1t is curious how people will refuse
to believe what n can clearly see.
Tell the average man or woman that
the slow but cumulative poisonous
effect of caffeine-the alkaloid in tea
and coffee-tends to weaken the heart,
upset the nervous system and cause
Indigestion. and they may laugh at
you if they don't know the facts.
Prove it by science or by practical
demonstration in the recovery of cot
fee drinkers from the above condi-
tons, and a large per cent of the hui
man family will shrug their shoulders,

ARRESTlNG FLIGHT OF TIME
German Scientists Advise the Eating
OF Egg Shells by Those Who Ar-
preach Old Age.


Two Germans, deep thinkers-Pro-
fsssors Emmerich and L~oewe--state
that eggs shells eaten increase the
power of resistance against "the with
ering blight of time" add weight to
the body, activity to the brain and
strength to the heart; that they de-
stroy injurious bacilli, prevent inflam-
nation and disease and lend courage
and energy. This reminds me, Phil
Up Hale writes in the Boston Herald,

moving super1uous hair, being an ex-
cellent substitute for table butter.
none genuine unless stamped on the
blade. Eustace Miles, the English
court tennis player and vegetarian,
says he had an old nurse who used
to eat egg shells and crunch them Joy
fully between the teeth that happened
to meet, and she said she ate the
shells because they Shaved the hair
off inside of the throat" The discov-
cry of the German scientist is peculi-
arly welcome to jewellers by the
ocean, for it is a well known fact that
II you do not break egg shells the
witches will put out to sea in them to
wreck vessels, and if you Sburn the
shells the hens will cease to lay.

BEAR Is UNLIMITED GUEST
Enters Sleeping Room, Whose Occu-
pant Vacates lnstanter Without
Waiting to Dress.

Hood River, Ore.-The citizens of
the Oak Grove district, armed with
the family weapons and followed by
all of the dogs that qualified for the
event, are passing the time in a bear
hunt. A big brown bruin came down
out of the Green Point hills a few days
ago, raided a raspberry patch at the
ranch of Esquire C. C. Lennon, de-
stroyed the apiary of another rancher
and entered the kitchen of the Apple
del.
Robert Shinn, a graduate of the
Oregon Agricultural college, who is
caring for the Appledel tract, keeps
bachelors hall there. His slumbers
of the early dawn we're disturbed by
the noise of the bear raiding the cult
nary department.
In a few seconds the bear had en-
tered his sleeping apartment. Shinn
left hurriedly through IN open window
by his bed. The tapping of his night
shirt waving an adieu so suddenly in
the cool morning breeze frightened
the bear. which turned over a cup
board of jams and canned fruits in
its hasty exit through the pantry.
The bear is said to be one of the
largest ever seen in this region, and
the ranchers fear hat unless it is
killed it will begin to raid barnyards.

AID TO ECONOMICAL WOMAN
Fichu a Means of Giving to Gowns
the Requisite Appearance of
Freshness.

To the woman possessed Of but
slender means the revival of the fichu
as a veritable godsend, for by
its kindly aid last years gowns can be
brought up to date.
A fichu of jetted net, f1ecked with
emerald green or c%erise, will quite
transform even the dingiest of black
dresses, whilst on an ivory satin
which has seen it's best days a fichu of
deep ivory net will work marvels.
And now that such wonderful dyed
nets and laces are to be had SO cheap
ly, no gown need be left out in the
cold, be its color what 1t may. The
fact that the fchu Is n of the modes
of the moment should not blind us to
that other greater fact-that though
the fchu may, in a sense, suit every
one, there yet remains a certain type
Of woman who, if she be wise, will
wear hers with a difference. Differ
ent figures require not only different
fichus, but widely different methods of
draping.

IDEAL FOR THE FISHERMAN
Gunnison River, Colorado's Famous
Stream, Has Reputation That Is
World Wide.

Denver.-The Gunnison river flows,
or rather leaps, down the western
slope of Colorado and is famed for it's
trout. Enthusiastic anglers frequently
journey there from England to whip
its turbulent waters during the fish

cold stream are celebrated for their
exquisite flavor, and for their fighting
qualities as we'll.
This picturesque stream after flow

GIRDLES OF MANY SHAPES
Up-to-Date Girl May Employ Her Own
Ideas for This Form of
Adornment.

BY her girdle's style shall you know
the up-to-date girl. If her waist be
not extra long and slender, she folds
over, into two-inch width a strip Of
velvet, or satin sash ribbon and this
she ties into a bow consisting of a bar
and two quarter-yard long ends
which droop from either side of the
common center which is placed direct
ly at the center of the waist line in
front. That's merely one oddly. A
second is the girdle which goes once
around the back of the waist and
twice across it's front, then fastens at
the left side under a cluster of velvet
leaves. A third is the straight round
peasant belt, reaching to half way I'M
der the arms and formed Of perpen-
dicular box plaits of the silk held
down with narrow velvet straps. Last
ly there is the plain velvet band fas-
tening under a fob-shaped strap finish
ing with a velvet rose.

TRIPLES FOR THE NECK
DAINTY EFFECTS ARE PRETTY IN
THE EXTREME.
innumerabIe Variety of Styles from
Which to SeIect-For School Use
the Simpler Forms Are the
Most Desirable.

"Neckwear," said a girl recently,
must have been invented in heaven!"
This is because neckwear is so
lovely now, the girlish fixings partic-
ularly; because, too, a girl takes as ma
turally to the pretty throat folderols
used as a duck does to water. She
knows that they are peculiarly becom-
ing to her, the various dainty t~rifles,
that they add to her femininity and
dress up the plainest frocks.
What a variety of styles there are
fiat, deep collars with matching cuffs
for the maiden who knows that her
round, soft throat is the best part of
her; high choking stocks with linen
and lace turnovers; little square ra-
bats, plated, lace edged and plain;
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-10-04

cut up the fold, after it is made, into
neck lengths, and then keep them
neatly in a box until needed.
The sweetest little fiat collars and
cuffs to match may be evolved from
more cheap fabrics-butcher's linen il
pure white, colored Oriental linen and
crepe, net and black baby velvet, or
candle and net combined. The butch
er's linen is just the fabric for class
use, rough, durable and laundering
better and better each time. The sets
of it look well when scalloped round
by hand-you know the stitch, simple
buttonhole, done with linen embroid-
cry floss. Some of the flmier white
sets the girl might also want to wear
to school on occasions are made to lie
entirely outside the coat neck and
across the bottom of the sleeves, these
being without the finish band, which
seems SO hard sometimes to dispose
of inside Of the coat. One style of
plain net, with ~side-plaited edge, has
a row of the narrowest black baby vel
vet around the collar and cuffs proper,
the quilting extending below this. The
pretty fineries are fastened on with
small collar and cuff pins.
Anything can be copied If you get
the hang of neckwear sewing, that Is,
do the work with the utmost n%eatness,
and have the fixing neither too large
nor too small. But then, considering
the prettiness of things, shop prices
are cheap enough. One store is show
ing Robespierre chokers In every con-
ceivable neck material of a cheap sort
for seventy-f1ve cents. Little jabots Of
plated linen or net with lace edge,
topped by an Limitation bow" Of vel
vet ribbon with bias ends, are forty
nine cents. Guimpes Of plain and
fancy net, finished off with the shallow
muslin bodice piece that holds them
in place, are twenty-five cents.

of thirty miles before it energies into
another valley at State Bridge, three
thousand feet lower than where it en-
tered the canon.
The trout fishing is along the upper
half of the canon, which is traversed
by a narrow gauge railroad. The low
er half of the canon is impossible.
Only three men ever made the trip
through it. They were government
engineers who were accommodating
for a location for the Gunnison tunnel
to irrigate the Uncompahgre Valley.
Their strong raft was wrecked, their
instruments and clothing were lost
and they were rescued in an exhaust

Below the canon SO much alkali and
soil are discharged into the stream

cannot live in it, but suckers flourish
there, often attaining a length of from

streams are rocky and swift, and if
the fish did not slacken speed by
swimming against the current they
might be bruised against the rocks.
In the pools where the water was
two or three feet deep the fish were
so numerous hat it was no uncom-
mon occurrence to throw out three
and four fish with each thrust of the
fork. The fish were weak and slug
gish after spawning and did not make
much effort to get out of the way. The
old woman brought out two washing
tubs, a washboiler and a large dish
pan, all of which were filled within
half an hour with fish from twelve to
eighteen inches, in length, which she
skinned and sailed down for future
use. She lamented hat the fish were

Sailor collars, of muslin, organdy, sat
in and baby Irish lace; yards and
yards of ruching, like scalloped plait-
ed snow, of net and fllmy inexpensive
lace for the neck and sleeves of coats;
tiny ruchings or fiat folds to catch the
soil that attacks the top edge of a
high plain blouse.
For school use, the simple fiat col

tie bows or simple jabots, worn with
a high stock, are mainly to be consid-

The folds, which are sold by the

make it all up into two folds, n
deeper than the other; haste them to-
gether and finish the bottom with a
band of lute-string ribbon. Good scrim
costs about thirty-fve cents a yard,
but this will make enough collar
bands for the whole winter. Only the
least bit of the white shows above the
stock line, but that little relieves a
dark dress prodigiously and keeps the

add considerable variety to the early
lines. For instance, there are dresses
in MORE velour, faille, corded char
meuse,- Pompadour chiffons, MORE vel
vet and brocaded crepe de Chine.
While these materials are combined
to some extent with the charmeuse,
owing to the fact that charmeuse Is
now SO extensively employed, there Is
an effort on the part of manufactur.
ers to produce models wherein this
material is not used. Due to the use
of only the softest qualities, the MORE
velour models are very attractive.

Some of the teachers who refused

is still popular. A Paris house shows
a narrow stiff band of blue velvet
sewn with colored beads, from the
center of which springs up a pea
cocks feather of gold with the "eye"
of the feather in natural colors, a
bizarre and striking ornament. An
other band of velvet is sewn with
brilliants, and a white osprey rises
in the middle in a fashion that is both
becoming and dignified-which is
more than may be said Tor many
fashions of the moment.
