A GIRL SHOULD DRESS
TO FIT THE Scene.

In an article on Dressing to
Fit the Scene in the July Wo-
mans Home Companion, Grace
Margaret Gould, the fashion
editor Of that periodical, says in
part:
Have you ever thought that
there are many things which
work together for charm in dress?
Well, there really are, and perhaps
the first of these things, and the
most important of all, is dressing
to fit the scene. You are the
portrait; and the frame should not
clash, but should be in perfect
harmony.
Let us take the summer girl,
for instance, and have "a little talk
with her in regard to the correct
which means the appropriate
dress for the many occasions
which come up during the sum-
mer days. Just at the beginning
let me say a word about how
much more economical it is to
dress to fit the scene than to
wear wrong clothes on the wrong
occasions. Then, too, clothes
have, in a measure, a way Of
asserting themselves. They look
best for what they were made,
andi if so used, prove satisfactory.
On the other hand, o~verWorking
ones clothes is most unwise.
Talk about going off for a
carefree, happy boat excursion
in the summertime! Have you
ever noticed the girl who has
allowed her costume to interfere
with her happy afternoon?
Rest! Why, she doesn't have a
seconds time to enjoy the
scenery, nor her companion either
how is she dressed? Well she is
all a mistake. She is wearing
the lightest of blow-aWay oran-
dies, anb a picture hat which
muses. her hair and slips from
its moorings with every gentle
breeze. Its trimming is generally
a feather. It may be an expen-
sive, airy, willow plume or one of
the newest fads and, might add
freaks of fashion, straw crea-
ton attempting to simulate an
ostrich plume,
And what strange and weird
ways that feather takes on when
a-boating it goes! It starts off
the most debonair feather i'm
aginable, curled and beautiful to
see. 1t returns detected and
Sticky, and such caprices as it has
shown during its short trip. A
picture hat we said she was
wearing? Why, the head-dress
Of a cannibal chief is a thing Of
beauty in comparison.

good time on her days boat trip

RANsDELL HAS A PLAN.
VIII ASH Conventions to Endorse National
LeVee Control.

Vicksburg, Miss, June IT,
While in this city yesterday, en-
route to his home in Lake Provi-
dence, La, Congressman Joseph
Ransdell gavput the following
proposed PLANK, which is Of a
non-political nature, and hopes
to have it adopted in both the
democratic and republican plat
forms:
Flood prevention in the Mis-
sissippi Valley. The Mississippi
river is the nations drainage
ditch. It's floods constitute an
overpowering force which break
the levees and pours its torrents
over many millions acres of the
richest land in the Union, stop
ping mails, preventing commerce
and causing great loss of life and
property. 1eae floods are ma
tionaI in scope, and the disasters
they produce seriously affect the
general welfare. The states can
not cope with the giant problem
with no power, but the nation is
strong enough; hence, I believe
the Federal Government should
assume the obligation Of its con-
troll and prevent the recurrence
of disastrous floods"
He is very anxious to have this
plank adopted at both conyen-
tons. Congressman Ransdell
expects to go to Washington in 9
few days after attending to some
private business at home. He
says he thinks President Taft
will be the nominee. He also
thinks the democrats have a
chance to elect a president.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

When my baby was six months old,
his body wasNcompletely covered with
large sores that seemed TO itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when ! removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but short
time before | could see that he was
improving, and In six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and great deal more"
(Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson,
Mont, Jan. %, 1911. Although Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment are sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere, a

cred his embarrassment by declaring
that no sheep could bite him and live
The logic of this is equaled by that
of the Yankee soldier who once had
narrow escape from an enraged gan
der. The men of certain Maine regl'
ment, which was in the enemy's coun-
try in 1862. considered the order mo
foraging" an additional and uncalled-
for hardship. One afternoon about
dusk. a soldier was seen beating
rapid retreat from the rear of farm
house near by, closely pursued by
gander with wings outspread, whose
feet seemed scarcely to touch the
ground and from whose beak issued
succession OF angry screams. The
fugitive was not treasured by the cries
OF the gander's owner: Hold on,
man, hold on, He won't hurt you'll
Call off your gander! Call him Off,
shouted the fleeing soldier. Neither
man nor gander stopped until inside
the camplines, when the soldiers
friends relieved him Of MS fierce pur-
suer with the aid of the butt OF a
muskct did that gander think he
could chase me like that and live!
the soldier exclaimed, as he surveyed
the outstretched bird; but he said
nothing of the baited hook, with cod,
line attached, which might have
thrown light on the unfortunate gan
ders strange actions.
