There is nothing which is quite so

riers the manufacturers of pushes
have made limitations of fur in plush

of soft white chiffon trimmed with
garlands of green satin leaves, ap.
pliqued to the bodice and skirt in Dor.
der fashion. These garlands outline
the round neck of the bodice, the high
waist line in the form of girdle and
the edge of n draped tunic where it is
caught up with green satin bow. The
sleeves are also caught up with a satin
bow.

 Four horses, and a, number of head of live stock were stabled in the barn. but were gotten out in safety by the farm hands. Other live stock which usually house in the barn had been left on the field because of the warm evening. The Fairfield auto chemical responded. Their watchfulness pre- vented the fire from spreading to ad- joining property. The origin of the fire is unknown.

RAILROAD AEsrHETICIsNI.
New Haven's Efforts to Beautify Its
 Right of Way.


 Right of Way.
 There IS an aesthetic side to the railroad business as well as the prac- tical. Attempts to beautify a rail- roads right of way and make the landscape pleasant for it's patrons is evidence of this aesthetic side and the railroads of the country are beginning to give recognition to it.
 A few years ago, the board of direc- tors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company, desirous of making some experiments along this line, appropriated S5,O0O for beautifying the cut through which its main line runs at Mount Vernon, NY. This cut extends for several miles and in places is over a hundred feet deep. Naturally it is not particularly attrac- tive to travellers and was thought to be good ground for an experiment of this kind.
 The work of beautifying was put in charge of c. D. Perkins, division en- gineer- The ditches along the tracks were concreted, the long sloping sides of the cut were planted with grass seed and then this was strewn with Dorothy Perkins rambler roses. The result has been a transformation of this part of the line For weeks this spring and until just recently travellers passing through this cut saw the SAOp0S ADON6 Lne1r heads a moss or pink roses against background of green sward. Each year the display has grown more beautiful. Many trav- elers have wondered where they came from. thinking perhaps they were wild roses. On all sides have been heard favorable comment on the scene pre- sented to them.
 Not content with this MT. Perkins has in the last year or two extended the rosebeds until now they are found at Stamford, Riverside, Greenwich, Port Chester and several other places where the soil has been favorable

LEARN TO EAT
Then II Stomach Rebels You Need
Mi.O.na.

Mi.0.na.
One of the great characteristics of the
American people is too rapid eating.
The inevitable result of bolting our
food is indigestion with its various
forms of stomach ills.
Nothing makes life so miserable, or
interferes so widely with the usefulness
of the average American as dyspepsia,
the result Of indigestion.
The quick lunch counters. many res
taurants. and even some homes are
veritable manufacturers of stomach
troubles.
1t seems useless to say "eat slowly"
for our best physicians, and publica-
tions devoted to health have been max
ing the same cry for years. yet We
don't heed their warnings
Since We persist in defying nature.
help must be given the digestive ma
chinery. otherwise serious results will
follow.
Mi-on-a Tablets are a specific for
stomach ills. They not only attack the
food in the stomach and assist in its
digestion. but go farther, and tone up
the entire digestive tract, restoring 1t
to a healthy condition so that we can
eat what We want at any time without
distress.
Take Mi-o-na at the first sign of up
set stomach, such as headache, dizzi-
ness. coated tongue, eructating Of sour
food, or nervousness. All the symp-
toms Of stomach distress will promptly
disappear. indicating that the digestive

General McReynolds is opposed to
