A LITTLB JOURNEY
INTO FASHION LAND
New Nodes Promise Great Beauty
This Year.

. Level-headed women are not feeling in
the least alarmed by the strange vaga-
ries that fashion Is producing II the
present moment. They remember full
Wen the introduction Of other freaks at
this season Of the year. when the spirit
Of buffoOnery is ever noticeable.
Sensations the makers Of modes must
have. There must be arrestive finger
posts TO the changes that are being
wrought in the modes, Certainly there
are changes. Those who for the sake Of
pleasure or business go TO see the col
lections" of spring modes at the leading
dressmakers made this month, and many
this week, viii acknowledge the fact
readily.
But the bogies Of dress need not
frighten fashions devotees. The woman
Of the twentieth century is not to be
driven, nor is she to be dictated to. She
accepts those new designs Of which she
approves, and firmly and finally rejects
those that do not meet with her ap-
prevail
No doubt there are many surprises in
store for US. Some Of the tailor-mades
have pleated underskiTts and draped
tabliers above them. The accordion, or
sunray pleat Is also being used, In con-
nection with the full housemaid's skirt,
DuL mere Is not the EenOtesI suBsSsIpn
Of ultra width in skirts that are given
pIeats, owing to the marvellous clever
ness with which the pleats are arranged.
Nor is there any fear Of the wasp
waists return. Women don't want It
and won't have it.
There is every prospect Of great
beauty in the new fashions Of 1917 when
they are the expression Of the really
clever dressmakers. And one fact helps
to secure it. 1t is that the materials
used now are so fine and supple that
they can be passed through the proven
hfal ring

FURNITURE POLISH MAY
GIVE BAD RESULTS

After using a polish which has been
recommended as making the furniture
better than new, the housewife is often
dismayed to find the surface dull and
blurred looking.
This may have been caused by the
so-called polish, which. not having been
rubbed dry, has hardened and collects
all of the dust before drying, has caused
dull film to appear over the polished
surfaces
a simple and effective polish for clean,
ing furniture and removing scratches
is made Of one-third nnseed oil and two
thirds benzine. It should be applied with
paint brush which has very soft bristIes
and rubbed dry with an old soft pie :
Of muslin or soft flannel.
For polishing, dampen a cloth with the
mixture, fold II into a pad, sprinki, a
few drops Of alcohol over the surface
OF the pad and rub the furniture fr,nly
and quickly. Rub only a small part at
time and be sure to rub until the sur
face is quite dry.

A WALK IN THE WOODS
CURES CASE OF NERVES

A case Of nerves is often nothing
more than the result Of a certain lack
OF fresh air, and the best cure for this
is TO get out into the open to walk and
commune with nature. The combined
effect Of fresh air. walking and the
soothing influence of nature viii pro-
dUce a wonderful result in toning up the
system, shaking on gloomy thoughts
and forebodings, filling the mind with
cheerful, happy thoughts and restoring
complete mental power and control.
You go out into the woods victim Of
the blues; you return two hours later a
different creature. The secret rests, like
many another, with mother nature.
After a trip Of this sort you feel fit"
and strong enough TO cope with the most
difficult problems that may come to you
for solution during the coming week.

HANDY BAG FOR BACK
OF. THE KITCHEN DOOR

String, wrapping paper. tacks. and
a hammer may be needed at any time
Of the day and should always be kept
close at hand. In order to get them at
a minutes notice, to the kitchen or
some equally convenient down stairs
spot attach a bag made like the regu-
lar shoe bags, divided into compart-
ments.
Into this put the tacks and a ham
mer, string and pieces Of wrapping
paper, as you take them on bundles.
In a spare moment. II you do not find
time when you are 7Hnrolling the
bundles. the string may be folded into
balls: thus you always know where TO
find string and wrapping paper. These
are household conveniences which every
one needs.

FURNITURE IS
NOW BEING CLEANED

The wicker furniture slowed away
during the winter is being brought out
now and the question OF how IL is best
cleaned looms up.
Just blow the dust out OF the crevices
with . pair Of bellows or a good sized
bicycle pump. This will greatly assist
IN cleaning. Then make q suds by dis
sowing half bar OF white soap IN
gallon or more Of water and then add
half cupfuI Of common salt.
This viii prevent the wicker or rat
tan from truning yellow. Apply the suds
with a scrubbing brush, using plenty of
water. so that the case may be soaked
thoroughly. Place the furniture out OF
doors TO dry in shady place. This will
make the cane hrm and tight
II you wish to bleach as we'll as

and add two ounces Of bleaching DOW

EXCELLENT SCHEDULE
FOR SPRING WEATHER

Here is a practical spring tonic sched-
uIe that should not be difficult for any
one to follow:
In the springtime halve the amount of
food you are used to eating.
Double the drinking water, and do not
have it ice cold.
Treble the out-of-door exercise.
Quadruple the consumption OF fresh air
and laughter.
If you are a mentally active person
include a large amount Of ripe fruit and
nuts in your diet Eat little meat, and
cereals but seldom.
II your energies are equally divided
between mental and physical labor you
should use fruit and vegetables and more
nuts and cereals than the purely men
tally employed.
The physically active individuals should
select a diet that is varied and tempting
alike, a combination of the above.

ROOSEVELT CAN'T WIN.

think much of Roosevelt's chan

not hesitate about putting its
opinion in plain words. The
World says:
Mr.. Roosevelt is beaten.
He can not be nominated for
president.
If he were nominated he could
not be elected.
HIS campaign for a third term
has collapsed.
The turn came when Mr.. Roos.
evelt announced his candidacy.
He was no longer disinteresteG.
The mask had been removed. The
sO-called progressive movement
was revealed as a political con
spiracy against Mr.. Taft for the
benefit of Mr.. Roosevelt. Tens
Of thousands of Republicans who
might have joined enthuslastical-

plot his personal amb ton and
thrust himself upon the party.

Says the Boss:er Banner: Lei
the game law stand. We need
the game, not only for ourselves
but for future generations. If
the game commissioners must go
and the people insist that the sew
eral police juries of the State shall
have authority to enforce the
laws, giving constables and dep
uty sheriffs authority to make ar
rests, well and good. But will
they do this, and if not, how can
our game be conserved There is
nothing the matter with the law
that we call to mind at the mo-
ment, and there is no objection to
the protection Of game. The OBJ
Ject'on the people have advanced
is the way the thing is practiced.
SO let the correction be made in
this direction only The funds aris-
ing given parish from fines, ETC..
should revert to that parish and
later be used for lettering game
'ondltions-the importing of new
species of feathered game, the
destruction of predatory birds
