Woman Finally Recovers
From, Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge OF a
complete nervous breakdown. 1t
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system IN good con-
dition, as the nerves arc the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, Ell Mechanic ST, Pueblo,
Colo, says:
"For many years l suffered from
nervous prostration; was unable
to do any house work and doctor.

If you are troubled with los, OF
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in q
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part OF the
daily grind OF life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.

For the eoudoir.

An addition to the boudoir which is
almost irresistibly attractive is the
brocade covered down quilt which has
appeared this season.. Instead Of the
down quilts being covered with flow
cred satins and silks, which has been
the pretty fashion for several seasons,
they are now being covered with beau
tiful b~rocades. white and pink. blue
and pink. etc. The underside is lined
with the plain color of the flower, and
this plain color is turned up in a Dor
der. Only the center is thus made of
the brocade. A quilt covered with
white satin. brocaded with pink velvet
flowers and lined with deep pink satin.
is almost too beautiful for anything
but a ball gown.

SEWING AND DARNING.

When selecting a darning egg al
ways get a white one. so hat when
mending black or colored stockings
you will be able to see the work more
plainly.
The best way to finish of a machine
seam is to turn the material and stitch
back for an inch. This Toes away with
the necessity of tying the thread,
which. IL forgotten, often causes trou-
BILE in the finished article.
When duplicates must be made in
any part OF a paper pattern, instead
paper and mark with a hard pencil.
Thus your work is perfectly exact. and
you run no risk OF running the ma
terial.
Instead of using a wooden egg"
darner. try putting the worn stocking
over your own shoe tree. Then you
will be able TO see exactly how the
darned place will lie ON your foot and
can make 1t loose or tight as necessity
requires.
II you will include a steel crochet
needle in the implements for use in
the sewing room you will have IN
thing as good as any patent ripper
ever invented. Simply catch the hook
under the thread in the stitches or
hastings and pull them out in double
quick time.
When a hole is worn in your carpet

with yarn matching the colors In the
rug: then, also with yarn. ill In the

To PAINT.

Women who are lowering around
household furniture with pots of paint
common salt, combined with brown
soap and hot water. will remove the
paint from their fingers after their
task Of touching up scratched corners
is finished. Enameled paint II not got
off Immediately leaves on the hands a
heavy deposit that from white turns a
pale gray blue and will resist even tur-
pentine and ammonia. The salt should
be used before the paint dries. and its
use should not be stinted.

A COUGHING PLANT.
II Easily Works Itself Into a Rage and
Detests Dust.

All have read of c~arnivorous plants.
Of laughing plants and of plants that
weep. but who has heard of a plant
that coughs? There Is the authority
Of a French botanist, however, for the
statement that a plant in various trop-
zeal regions actually possesses the pow
er to cough in the most approved man
ner. The fruit of this plant resembles
the common broad bean.
1t appears that the coughing plant
is something of a crank. that it easily
works itself into a rage and hat 1t has
a curious horror of all dust. says the
Philadelphia Press.
As soon as a few grains of dust are
deposited on its leaves the air cham
bers that cover their faces and are the
respiratory organs of the plant become
filled with gas. swell and end by driv-
ing out the gas with a slight explosion
and a sound that resembles so much
the cough of a child suffering from a
cold as to carry a most uncanny sensa-
ton to the one beholding the phenom-

CHINcHILLA VERY POPULAR.
II Is Used For Many Purposes. but
Plush Is In Greater Demand.

Chinchilla is undoubtedly an ex-
tremely popular fabric this season, al
most, il not quite. as popular as plush.
and, like the richer material. IL Is used
for a great variety of purposes and
comes in n great variety OF weights.
There il the very heavy chinchiih,
which is used for the heavy topcoats;
the lighter weight chinchilla. which Is
also used for coats and may be used
for tailored suits Of the heaviest kind
as well, and the very light weight and
supple chinchilla. which is made up
into beautiful, softly draped frocks a9d
is as capable OF graceful draping hs
crepe de chine. This Is imported chin
chilla In the very expensive grades.
A very smart suit of this grade of
chinchilla was in dark blue and trim
med with black braid. 1t had three
skirts, each coming well above the 9th
er, and the skirts were fitted and drap-
ed so beautifully on n silk foundation
that there was no increase In the APP
parent size of the wearer in spite of
the design. Broad black braid was
used TO trim the skirts. The jacket
was one Of this seasons fascinating
getaways, not ut all plain or severe Ia
c and with material manipulated SO
skillfully that the wearer looked taller
and more slender in spite of all the
elaboration and the draping.

For Our Women Readers
FOR THE GIRL IN HER TEENS.
Bands Of Skunk and Ermine Effective
on GirIish Gowns.


Styles for the girl In her teens were
never more attractive and varied than
at present. and the fur note observed
on all garments designed for her Is
particularly worthy of mention. There
are many charming ways OF introduce
ing fur In a youthful and effective
manner More often than not when
this form of decoration appears IN the
coat the note Is repeated In the hat or
toque worn. A oat Of broadcloth de-
signed for more elaborate occasions.

ermine or white fox and hat and nun
decoration to correspond. is handsome
and girlish.
Fur distinguishes her frock for after
noon as well. and one such which
makes an instant appeal for its sim
plicity was fashioned Of rich mahog-
any chataigne satin. with blouse hav-
ing full length vest effect of white.
broken half way with a strap of satin
and o button for fur. About the neck
was a collar slightly deep and square
at the back and tapering to a point
just above the strap each side in front
of tailless ermine. The sleeves were
made with slight fullness. putting over
a plain deep cuff at the elbow and
finished at the hand with a narrow
band of the ermine. which was run up
the back of the sleeve 10 the elbow.
A very plain skirt completed this fas-
cinatingly chic gown. a miniature PAN
ell of the material extending from the
waist at center front and ending in a
point halfway down the skirt. where IL
was trimmed with a tiny strap and
somewhat smaller button than that
used on the blouse. A broad band Of
the fur started from the bottom edge
of the skirt at the right and extended
straight up the side to the belt and
above the belt for several inches on
the blouse, giving a most unusual style.
The fur, of course. need not be err
mine. as any odd and apparently use
less fur pieces may he utilized in this
way, and the idea may be readily
adapted with many other s~easonable
fabrics.

AS a matter of fact, there are only
four distinct t~astes-sweet. bitter. salt
and acid. All the others are a mixture
of the sensation of smell and touch.
Nor are all parts of the tongue equally

Then you throw your feelings right

cisive tones. "Hetty hain't going to
throw herself at no mans head. As
for Mr.. Watterson, he got miffed about
something and quit coming here. and
he can stay miffed for all we care"
The husband and father didn't want
TO say that her last hat cost Sc and her
last dress SIS and that in the fall she
would want n cloak costing at least
$15. but his wife knew him to be a
close man. What he remarked when
he got ready to say anything further
was:
"There'd be room right here in the
house for her and her husband IL she

"You are her mother. of course"
"Then you leave things to me and
don't worry yourself any more"
He sighed and groaned and glunted
and said the wind would probably
change to the east by midnight and re-
luctantly dropped the subject. Two
days later he came home from the viii

Children, This Part Is Yours
READING SEALED MESSAGES.
Solution Of a Trick That 10 Always
Mystifying.

One. OF the puzzling tricks performed
by so called public mind readers or
%clairvoyants is an extremely simple de-
ception. The performer. standing on
the stage. asks several persons in the
audience to write each a sentence on
a slip of paper and seal it In an en-
velope.
OF course the stationery is furnished
and afterward collected. One of h
audience is a confederate and writes
a sentence agreed upon beforehand.
When the assistant goes through the
house gathering up the envelopes the
confederate's contribution Is carefully
put where 1t will be the last one of
the lot TO be taken up.
The performer picks out an envelope
and. after feeling of it, with much cere-
mony pronounces the sentence agreed
upon. and the confederate in the au-
dience acknowledges that he wrote 1t.
To confirm this the performer tears
open the envelope and repeats the SEN
tence as though he found it on the in
closed paper. which is in reality an
other mans sentence which he reads.
and then. picking up another envelope
and fumbling it over. he calls o the
sentence he has Just read.
The one who wrote II says 1t Is right,

reads what is in ii and proceeds in
that way through the lot. 1t is con
venient to place the slips successfully
ON a letter file so that the last opened
may be always in view.

Mr.. Meeker stayed ON for the third
week. There was no doubt In any mind
that he was seeking TO make a favor
able impression. but at least two minds
doubted his ability. 1t was heal the
end of the third week that Mrs. John
son saw Mr.. Watterson drive past the
house for the first time since the tiff"
She also saw that he took notice of
things out of the corner of his eye
and seemed in 40 hurry TO get out Of
sight. She knew that Hetty hadn't
seen him. and with a look of childish
innocence on her face she waited ten
minutes and then said to the girl:

Hetty had dressed for the afternoon
and looked as sweet as a peach. and
as she set out the mother ran upstairs

could survey every foot of the road.
After n glance she hauled in her

front door. and a woman was In wait

ping there. The question had hardly
beer answered when a second and a
third drove up. and the last announced
that the wire fence man was skating
for the woods. Each OF the three
claimed him for her hero and million
