HOW TO USE THE POSTICHE
1t Should Be Made From Ones Owr
Hair and Kept UntangIed
and Clean.

The best postiche is made from
ones own combings. 1t is not hard to
find a ~hairdresser, even in small
towns, who makes false hair into Vac
rious forms; if not, the combings can
be sent to a city establishment. The
cost of making is less than a bought
postiche, and the risk lessened.
See that the piece is tightly woven.
If too loose, the hair pulls up and
roughens. When this occurs there is
no cure but reweaving.
Never let a postiche get tangled.
with a brush with rubber back and
stiff bristles, This tears the hair less
than combing. Occasionally put a
few drops of ~brilliantine on the brush.
1t will take away the dead look that
so quickly comes to false hair.
A postiche should not be allowed to
lie uncovered collecting dust. Keep
it in a drawer for cleanliness.
A postiche should be frequently
washed, especially when the hair has

ferred from it to the clean scalp. Use
a suds of white soap, which is rinsed
well later, or gasoline. Dry quickly,
shake well, and brush until fluffy.
The adjusting of a postiche is impor-
tant. Brush the hair forward and pin
the edge with small steel pins. Then
brush back in sections, pin into place,
and draw ones W hair loosely over
it or not, as you wish. Some women
prefer brushing the postiche and front
hair back as if all were grown on the
head.

VIII Not Offset tho III Effects OF
Coffee and Tea When One Cannot
Digest Them.
A farmer says:

A FARMER says.
For ten veal or more I suffered
from dyspepsia and stomach trouble,
caused by the use Of coffee (Tea con
tains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee), until I got SO bad I had to
give up coffee entirely and almost give
up eating. There were times when I
could eat only boiled milk and bread;
and when I went to the field to work
I had to take some bread and butter
along to give me strength.

everything I could get for my stomach
in the way of medicine, but If I got
any better it only lasted a little while.
I was almost a walking skeleton.

to the following facts I will make aff-
davit before any Judge:

health entirely and can eat anything
that is cooked to eat. 1 have increased
in weight until now I weigh more than

cine for my stomach since I began
using Postum.

first, but they saw the effects it had
on me and when they were feeling
bad they began to use Postum, one at

WIIllno 70 Do SQUARE ThIno,

Brand Whitlock, who doubles as
mayor of Toledo and as a literary
man, had a Chicago career. He was a
reporter on the old Herald when Pete
Dunno and Charley Seymour were his
side-kicks. Charley Chaplin was one
of his city editors.
Chaplin is now city editor Of the
New York Evening World. and this
story was told to Whitlock lately by
a correspondent who had him under
interviewing fire:
A new reporter had been hired on
the Evening World, and he went to
work on a Wednesday. The pay day
on the paper is Thursday. In the
course of a week, when the recruit re-
ceived him first envelope, he found
that he was a day short. He went to

FAN NOW IN FAVOR AGAIN
Should Harmonic With the
Dress.

The becoming and dainty styles
which this season has recalled brings
the fan into its own again.
In the past many renowned artists
have been fascinated by the task of
fan designing.
They have left perfect examples of
their art, which are the envied pos
sessions of collectors.
1t must be borne in mind that if the
design is of great prominence upon a
fan it must be carried with a dress
which harmonizes with it.
With a picture dress of black satin
and white chiffon, which has a sugges-
ton of old fashions skillfully adapt
ed to modern needs, an old fan should
be carried. A F"ragonard fan would be
appropriate.
With light evening gowns of satin
or lace, the deliberately carved ivory
fans harmonic beautifully.

PARLOR OUT OF DATE
NEARLY EVERYBODY NOW HAS
A LIVING ROOM.
How This Apartment Should Be Deco
rated and Furnished Down
Stairs Front Room or Dutch
Hall the Best Choice.
How This Al

Today almost every one has a liv-
ing room, and any house is incom-
plete without one. Some people are
10th to let go of the old-fashioned and
hopelessly out-of-date parlor, with its
set Of plush furniture, its what-not
and its lace curtains.
Still, every one would like to be up
to date, if possible; and in this arti-
Gle it will be the endeavor to show
how a parlor can be turned into a liv-
ing room and how a living room
should be furnished.
The room to choose for the purpose
would, of course, depend on the con-
venience of the family; but in the
average house the downstairs front
room or the Dutch hall would be the
best choice. Should this be imprac-
teal, either the front or back room on
the second floor could be made to an
swer.
Except in the case of the Dutch hall,
where the woodwork is stained to
blend we'll with the surroundings, or
when, in individual cases, it is con
sidered best to leave it the way it is.
1t is usually advisable to change the
color of the woodwork to white or
cream Even in the hall this has been
worked out most successfully by paint
ing all the wood white with the TX
ception of the staircase, where the
tread of the stairs and the handrail
are of mahogany.

being blighted so badly they will not

from 1000 to 1900 barrels. Postmas-
ter D. w. Cramer's big bog also has
been seriously injured. Not only cram
berries, but all crops, have been af-
fected by the low temperature at

Penalty Is Fixed.

There is a provision in the law
which allows extra hours of labor for
extra compensation in cases of acct
dent or any unexpected contingency
that may arise, but this it is claimed
does not apply in the two cases. The
penalty is fixed as a misdemeanor and
is punishable by a fine of 800 Or by
Imprisonment in the county Jail for
not more than ninety days, or by both

tention is madethat while both the con
tractors are the directly responsible
parties, the State House Commission
and the Board of Freeholders let the
contracts and have been supervising
the work, and should be cognizant of
the law which is very specific as to the
hours of labor, clearly stating that the
hours shall not be more than eight in
any one calendar day. This law was
approved April 27, 1911, and took eff
