John Rawn.
By Emerson Hough.
This book will undoubtedly rank
high among the books of the
season.
John Rawn is a poor man with
the determination to advance in
this world regardless of others. His
one aim is to succeed. He wants
money and influence and with moth
ing but bluff, he does succeed.
There are many men of this same
type and with the same standard of
life in this world today.

the greatest problems of the day in

Buttered Side Down.
By Edna Ferber.
A dozen short stories of people in
real life.
The stories are for the most part
of Chicago or small towns near

Here we get glimpse of the girl
with her way to make, the girl who
leaves the little village where she
has been a leader in fashions, and
goes to the city to find her best
blouse is so simple as to be classed
extremely plain and to experience
the terrible loneliness of a large
city.
The writer shows that she has

ban, but is in evidence in toques and
bonnets when there is a preference
for it.
The beautiful sailor shape with
square crown and rolling brim, is COW
cred with a unfinished black silk.
A band of Grape as wide as the crown
is laid smoothly about it. A broad
Grape bow is poised across the front
with a crape-covered buckle at its
center.
The long Grape veil laid in a double
box plat and sewed to the under
brim, close to the head, is a purely
decorative feature, although it may be
worn about the neck in a scarf-like
manner. This fashion of wearing the
drape like a throw about the neck
may bring about frightening of the
veil. 1t is a very graceful fashion.
Since Grape is manufactured so that
it is waterproof, it is as useful, in
deed, more useful, than fabrics not so
protected, and may be used more FREQ
ly than ever before.

New Flame Color.

A positive furore is noticeable now
for flame colors. The glowing red
tones that are seen in the feather
decked hats of the winter season are
repeated in the ballroom, where flame,
carnation, rhododendron, rose, cerise
and currant shades make vivid splash
es of color.
In simple lustrous velvet, softened
about the bodice by silver lace or
cream net, these red frocks are espe-
ciaIly effective for midwinter enter
tainments, and while the dowagers and
young married women choose this IA
brio and satin the debutantes appear
in chiffon and mousseline de sole that
are equally bright, in some cases made
up over white and usually touched
with silver. crystal or cut steel embel-
liShments.

nv EW models from Paris in mourn
I'M ing millinery show a degree of
IN style and smartness which is
hard to achieve in any apparel
having less individuality than this
special class. A turban and a hat,
both designed for widow, are pic
tured here. They are wonderful ex-
amples of this class of millinery.
The turban, which might more con-
sistently be called a turban-bonnet, is
as simple in outline as possible and
covered with English Grape drawn
smoothly over the crown. Its distinc-
ton lies in the graceful draping and
great length of the beautiful veil. A
width Of Grape, two yards long, is fin
ished with a hem set on at the bot
tom a quarter of yard deep. The
other end is wound about the turban
frame, exactly in the fashion Of an
Oriental turban. The Grape veil thus
provides drapery for the turban, a
scarf about the shoulders and the reg
ulation widows veil, all in one. A
ruche is not worn with this Grape tur-

materials:
First, double-faced cloth that has

are in vogue, the neutral shades and

Heavy fancy suitings are very popu-
lar. The English tweeds and mixed

favoritism shown them by the leading
houses.
Tailored skirts are not so straight in

fully, although, like many another pro-
cedure, it is one in which attention to
details counts for much. 1t Is i'm
portant to bear in mind that the caus-
alive agents for many diseases are ex-
tremely small, and may remain for an
indefinite time in dust, cracks, and
crevices of buildings, so that efforts
aiming at the eradication of disease
from contaminated premises must be
thorough in order to be effective.
In the work Of disinfection nature
has provided man with most valu-
able ally--sunlight. 1t is well known
that the direct rays Of the sun are de-
structive to many forms of bacteria, in
ONE cases destroying them and in 9TH
ers lessening their influence. Thus
the Importance Of well-lighted stables
Is evident. The dark and sunless
building will be a favorable breeding
place for bacteria, and the structure
which admits the greatest amount OF
sunlight will be the least favorable fol
their development. Again, heat will
destroy the bacteria Of disease. BY
this is not meant the ordinary heat Of
the sun, but heat as developed in boil
ing water or in fame. 1t is upon this
principle that the surgeon before op

Applying the Disinfectant.

By GEORGE w. POPE. Veterinary In
spector, United States Department of

In the work of the bureau of animal
Industry in dealing with infectious dis
eases of live stock it has been found
that the average stockman and farmer
does not realize the Importance of thor.
oughly disinfecting his premises fol-
lowing an outbreak of contagious dis
ease. There is apparently widespread
lack of information regarding the
germicidal power of various sub
stances, commonly termed disinfect-
ANTS. There is also lack Of knowl-
edge concerning practical and econom-
Ical methods Of proceeding with the
work of disinfection. Moreover, the
temperance of contagious disease
on premises from which it was be-
lieved to have been eradicated may
frequently be traced to careless or i'm
perfect work in connection with the
cleaning and disinfecting Of the place.
1t is but natural to acknowledge the
presence of only such objects as can
be seen with the unaided eye. Science,
however, by means of the high-power
microscope, has clearly proved the ex-

quently find their way into the animal
body and produce disease. 1t is also
we'll known that these micro-organ-
isms, or germs, vary in form and 9TH
err characteristics and that for each
disease of an infectious nature there
is specific germ.
The work of disinfection is based
upon our recognition of the presence
of disease germs, and disinfection
means the act of destroying the cause
of the infection. In other words, disin-
lection is a removal of the cause, and
1t will be clear to any practical man
that in dealing with disease any effort
which stops short of complete re-
moval of the cause is most unwise and
Improbable. To those unaccustomed
to the work, disinfection may seem a
most complicated process. Any ap

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
ly the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in
a great measure dependent upon nor
NAL, healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir-
ritability and dozen and one similar
evidences Of physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of DR.. ,Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. It's tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1O0
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for sample to DR.. W..
