Makinq Baby's Dress.

A baby's dress should w be made
with raw inside seams. Binding may
be used, but a French seam is simpler.
TO make a French seam haste two
seams first on the right side. then sew
with a back stitch or a combination Of
the back stitch and two small running
stitches. Trim the edges close to the
stitching. remove the hastings and re-
verse the fold SD that the seam edges
come between the fold, creasing the
edge fiat. Now make another seam,
using the same stitch. This row Of
sewing must fully cover the edges of
the previous seam. making it necessary
that the edges of the first seam are
evenly trimmed and the second seam
deep enough to incloSe the raw edges

berg he promised his mother
that he would never fight Il duel. But
Bancroft did not consider it necessary
to refrain from joining the fighting
corps and engaging in harmless en-
counters. Indeed, there was plenty Of
fighting material in him inherited from
his ~progenitOrs, and this was why his
mother had eXacted the promise.
Bancroft at Heidelberg proved SO
handy with all sorts of weapons as
to distance all competitors save one
d young Englishman named Horcut.
The two held the record for being he
best swordSmen at the university, and
there was a desire among the students
that they should fight for the cham
pionship. Bancroft made no objection
to Il friendly encounter, the vital parts
of each disputant being covered accord
ing to the corps rules. But in truth he
did not relish even a friendly fight with
the Englishman, who was an avOwed
hater Of Americans.
When the terms of the fight for the
championship came to be arranged Hor'
cut insisted on certain innovations rem
dering the affair dangerous. 1t was sus.
pected by a few that he considered
Bancroft the better s%wOrdsman and
judging him to be timid, wished tC
force him to decline the combat. This
would give Horcut the championship
without fighting for it or risking to lose
it. He would her return to England
to enjoy his honors.
Whether or no this was his object
it was accomplished. Bancroft de.
clined to fight except under the rules
for friendly contests. Horcut accused
him Of cOwardice, and there was o

He declined to fight either for the
championship or to vindicate his cour

declined to do so. Besides, friends a,

critical physical condition and if any
thing happened to him it would xii

COATED TONGUE
MEANS LAZY LIVER
A Lazy Liver Needs Dose Of Dod-
sons Liver TOne-Guaranteed to
Take Place Of Calomel.

When your doctor locke to see if
your tongue is coated, he is trying to
find out if your liver is working prop
erly. A few years ago doctors had
to prescribe calomel-there was moth
ing else to give.
Recently in many sections of the
country Dodson's Liver Tone has prac-
tically taken the place of calomel as a
liver remedy. Dodson's Liver Tone
is mild, pleasant tasting and harmless
which makes it fine medicine for
use wnen your children become bill
ious and constipated. But the most
remarkable feature of Dodson's Liver
Tone is the fact that W. G. Mayes,
who sells it, guarantees it absolutely.
The druggist will return your money
without argument if bottle fails to
give entire satisfaction.
Price, so cents. We suggest that
you get bottle today and have it
ready for the next member Of your
family whose liver goes wrong.
