Don't worry Is more an individual mat ter than a get together issue. Sociabil- ity and banquets do not lessen the tendency to Worriment. John Wesley used to say: 'I no more dare to fret than to curse and swear" He recog- nized 1t as a soul destroying habit, a manifest sin. Fear must have been the forerunner of worry, and with. ev- cry new fear since that day has come a new worry. Worry is the anticipa
 tion of something undesirable, and it led to the proverb; do not cross a bridge till you come to it." Suspicion is one of the agitators of the worry family, and a confirmer of one in the habit. Superstition is another member who sits with fear and assists in har- rassing weak, imaginative souls. Jeal- ousy is first cousin to suspicion, and it is an active agent on the worrying plane. The way to stop worrying Is to cut out this trio of darkness and let in the light of truth Get a grip on the genealogy of Worry, and then de- cline to associate with the family.

IMPORTANCE OF SWIMMING.

Just how important knowledge of swimming is considered in the secur- ing of an education is well set forth by the attitude which the leading edu- cators of the country are taking con- cernifg it. That full recognition Is given to the necessity of such instruc- tion by the heads of the big institu- tions of the land is reflected by the expressed intentions of President F3unce of Brown university to recom- mend to the annual meeting of the corporation next week that "a knowl- edge of swimming be made a regular requirement. for all bachelors de- grees."
 Such is in line with the action which has been taken at Columbia university in order to obtain a degree. Most all of the colleges and universities have swimming pools where the opportunity of gaining instructions in swimming is available but the instances where it is compulsory are few. Just as there are times in particular, more than others. when every college graduate appreciates the value of his education, there are also times when 8 knowledge of swimming specially demonstrates its worth. Certainly the young man who is fitting himself to face the prob- lems of life lacks something if he can- not swim.
 This does not apply to the college graduate any more than to every one else The importance of knowing how t0 swim is illustrated almost daily, by the great number who lose their lives, or are unable to give assistance to others because of their deficiency. Swimming is something which every healthy man. woman and child should know how to dO The large list of drownings each year justifes the atti- tude of President Faunce and the other advocates of swimming

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
DANGER SIGNALS.

When some engineer, peering out of his cab, runs past a signal set against him, with the usual disaster to follow, the world is swift in condemnation. When some captain, careless of the wailing sirens piles his ship up on the rocks, we join the chorus of blame that descends on his unhappy head. The folly of disobeying warnings is apparent enough when exhibited by other people.
 But practically, how many of us are laughing at lights along the way that show red and speak of danger. A man ignores the ache or pain that indicates something wrong in his physical sys- tenn. He disregards signal bidding him take care" Or 1t may be his mind that begins to play off on him. He cannot remember: cannot think straight or work with zest. The signal bids him take more outdoor exercise. get more sleep. or have a change of scene. But in nine cases out of ten he works on in disregard of these monitors Of danger

Warnings that come from others are likewise ignored. There are precepH enough and examples enough to keep us going straight If we were not by nature needless. No one in ancient or in modern times has ever lived an evil life without suffering the penalty thereof. We see bad habits holding men with a grip of steel. Yet the we ourselves are somehow different. Alone of all men we can play with fire and not be burned.

 A ghastly number of human wrecks are strewn across the years through following advice like the above. We have abundant demonstration of the fact that "at the last 1t biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder" It is a pet but fatal delusion of many people that they are able to draw the fangs of any venomous beast they may choose to handle.
 After all our centuries of education mankind is still astoundingly credu- lous No amount of chastisement ap- parently can make us wise.

 There are periIs Of the body and there are periis of the soud. And the first are not more to be dreaded than the second.

There are too many public speakers in the world like Senator Sorghum who felt sure that what he said never gave offence because most of the audi ence went to sleep. Those men who study to be sweet in public addresses instead of being effectively instructive ladle out soothing syrup which does no little harm; and those who play upon our prejudices and fears excite us to support ideas and movements of which we eventually become ashamed. Weak ness on both sides plays havoc with progress. It seems good to hear a speaker now and then who has the courage to pull off our masks and make us see ourselves as we are and to direct the way to honesty and up- rightness. All raw material requires hammering, or blaming, or polishing before it shows grace of outline or artistic finish. Too much sweetness is always nauseating In whatever form we get it. and if 1t isn't kept on fee it sours. Playing to the pocket book in- stead of the mind is altogether too common. The whole bread and butter brigade tends to deception and the de- feat of truth. Very few men have the courage of their convictions.

WHY WE SELL MOHICAN
 FLOUR AT SO LOW A PRICE

We operate over forty bakeries in connection with our chain of big markets. We necessarily use tre- mendous quantity of flour, and this in addition to our retail sales makes us one of the largest flour users in the country.
 We buy the best grades of wheat, and have 1t milled especially for our use. It is then shipped in car loads to our different stores, and in this way we not only positively get the lowest price, but also save in amount of freights paid.
 Our flour Is packed under Mohican brand. We pay no premium for the brand, and therefore make no charge to you. We cannot buy any better flour, and we cannot ask a higher price as it is against our business principle to do this; so when we ask you a dollar a barrel less than you pay for other Hours you will know the reason for our doing so.

MUST BE HAND EMBROIDERED
The Proper Thing for Both White ind
colored Linen Parasols-Wide
Variety Of Designs.

White and colored linen parascls
show hand embroidery. They are
mounted with ivory or bone handles
and tips or with light natural or pol
ished wood handles and brass-pointed
tips. Some of them are finished about
the edge with fringe, some with plain
hem and some with an embroidered
scallop. A wide variety of designs is
shown in embroidered parasols. Satin
stitch, eyelet work and outlining are
used in combination to produce both
ornate and simple effects. Almost all
parasols are made with eight panels.
and half a dozen skeins Of cotton are
needed for embroidering each panel
with a design of moderate size; five
or six dozen skeins, therefore, would
be sufficient for any parasol. The big
department stores make up the en-
broldered panels into parasols and sell
sticks and frames.

HOW TO WHITEN THE THROAT
Lemon Juice or Ripe Tomato Will
Remove Any Discoloratlons-
Alcohol to Harden.

Shapeliness is not all that is neces-
sary to the making Of throat beauti-
full The texture of the skin must be
fine and soft, white and unblemished.
Cleanliness is the first essential. A
good thorough scrubbing with not too
soft brush, hot water and soap, once or
twice a week, will do no harm, the rest
of the time using the ordinary cloth.
Apply lemon Juice or ripe tomato to
any discolorations that may appear,
and unless the pores are enlarged,
use cold cream freely.
Alcohol will harden the flesh. AS
for the various bleaches, there are
some that are harmless, except insofar
as they invariably are drying, which
ultimately leaves the skin harsh and
brash. Here is one that can easily be
made at home, but, like the others. it
is drying, so be sure to counterfeit this
effect by applying cold cream after
using it. Mix half an ounce of perox-
ide of hydrogen, six ounces Of witch.
hazel and half an ounce of Tactic acid.
Apply this with soft cloth.

FLOWERS THAT MATCH FR0CK
One of the Prettiest Fancies of Mrny
Seasons Is the Adjournment
Thus Effected.

What a real pleasure women mis- led
when they we're too prim to tuck
bunch of flowers into their frocks. or
too fearful lest the stalks should st hin
their pretty raiment.
Nowadays flowers are the finishing
touch of every toilette, and some wom-
en- give orders to their florists or their
gardeners for a bouquet twice or thrice
a day to match the gowns they intend
to wear.
In the evening it is usual to wear a
single and very exquisite blossom, the
work of human hands. A giant rose, a
mammoth poppy, an orchid-all are
popular. Strange fantasies in mater
ial are employed; here a lace flower
tipped with fur, and there one made Of
hand painted mousseline, a marvellous
copy Of natures own handiwork.

CHAPTER XIV.
An Old Acquaintance.


It was late in the forenoon when
the heavily armed guard marched
Hamlin across to the commentaries
office. He had been surprised at the
delay, but had enjoyed ample oppor'
tunity to plan a course of action, and
decide how best to meet the questions
which would be asked. He could clear
himself without involving her. with
out even a mention of her presence
and this knowledge left him confident
and at ease.
There were half a dozen officers
gathered in the small room, the gray
bearded Colonel in command, sitting
behind table, with Major Mcdonald
at his right, and the others wherever
they could find standing room.

brusquely, you came in last night

A space saver is the wardrobe box
which fits under the bed. This box
is suspended from two metal arms, or
bars. which are affixed to the bed.
This makes it possible to draw the
box in and out without trouble. The
box does not touch the floor, so
there is no possibility of dust accumu-
lating under it, and the bed, with the
box in position, may be moved at will.
The boxes, which are provided with
hinged covers, come in different sizes
and are designed for different pur-
poses.
