PADS AND FASHIONS

A very youthful hat is of the blue straw trimmed soutache braid. These hats are being worn by tiny Parisien- nes for school. the dainty bonnets be- ing reserved for more dressy wear.
 A pretty notion in using tulIe as a collar to silk and crepon corsages is a turn-down flat collar of tulle bord- cred with narrow piping of the ere pon or charmeuse composing the gown.
 Beige crepon is very much used for the lingerie blouse. It is effectively embroidered with large flower de- si gn in cerise. P1eatings of black tulle finish the sleeves, collar and front
 A striking hat is of black Neapolt- tan straw, with two American beauty roses with stems thorn-1aded attach ed to the brir1. extending upward to the height of ten inches.
 The newest neckwear is a broad collar fashioned of colored chiffon in brilliant tones of blue, red, or violet. to which are attached revers of lace or embroidered sheer linen
 Patterned: crepe de chine is answer ing all expectations and well deserves the esteem in which 1t is held It Is exquisite11n texture and drapes most beautifully.
 The three quarter length coat of navy blue brocaded crepe de chine has a double collar of mousseline de
 
 of blue, mauve and white.
 A coat for a little girl is made of white pique, the collars and cuffs are braided with soutache braid. Three large ball buttons formed of the braid fasten the coat.
 Blouse waists of tuIIe and lace dis play coIored ribbons beneath the lace or tulIe. giving the effect of a lingerie cache corset worn beneath the tu1le blouse.
 The most chic women appear in summer gowns of lowered foulards, crepons, tu1Ie, 1aces and other cIinging materials made with clinging draper ies.
 Though trimmings are subservient at present, exceptions are made, and the most notable license is allowed to bead and jet decorations of every kind.
 The shirtwaist question is not set tied without the practical blouse of striped silk It is very prominent this season. being washable, durable and stylish.
 F'lesh-co1ored tulIe has been dis carded on many evening gowns, and colored tuIle to match the predonnf- mating shade Of the gown is now being used.
 Lingerie dresses of tulle, net and lace show exquisite embrofderies of self-colored wool to match odd boleros and hats of lowered silk.

 With living as high as it is, it's really wonderful how some people subsist at all. Meat, butter, and all the necessities of life are, as they say, sky high The only things not soaring arc the wages of the com mon people.
 was reading the other day that the value of a dollar has decreased thirty seven cents since 1895. or that it's present purchasing value is now slxty-three cents compared with its value of that date. This is an 2v- craze decrease of a 1i+ele over two cents per year. It was remarked that, if it continued diminishing in value at it's present rate, the dollar of 1895 wouldn't be worth one cent in 1850 or that we would have to pay five dollars for a trolley ride CT a shoe shine. This of course sounds absurd and we hope that affairs will never reach such a state.

WHO IS REsPoNsrB1B FOR THE
 LHrHnA WATER FRAUD?

It has long been Recognized by phy- sicians that one of the greatest frauds perpetrated on the American public l Is the exploitation Of the so-called 1 "lfthia waters some of the most widely sold of which contain less lithia than does the water of most of the rivers Of the United States Mill Hons of dollars have been expended on these waters and now the United States government under the federal Food and Drugs Act, is spending large sums in an effort to compel the deal CTS to label their products truthfully, and the dealers are spending still Iarg- CT sums in an effort to perpetuate the present labels.
 Who Is really responsible for the '1fthia water delusion? I've regret to have to state.'' says The Journal of the American Medical Association, that 1t Is chiefly the medical profee- sion. It originated in the medical profession; 1t was founded on some crude and unscientifc experiments and perpetuated by members of the pro fession blindly accepting the state ments of expIoiters of all kinds of waters dubbed 1ithia waters to meet the demand originally created by phy- sicIans In a similar way the profes- of the 1ithias nostrums which are be- ing foisted on the public as uric acid solvents
 ssThe medical profession should rec ognize its part in the origination and perpetuation of such frauds as that of the IitIlia waters and our medical schools should realize that graduates of today in their attitude on these i'm portant subjects are often relatively no better off, if indeed they are as we'll off, as graduates of two or three decades ago"

 Daily the innumerabfe children of these people risk their lives for the few Jumps of coal which the 1ocomo- tive drops by it's track. One can see them always with their bags walk ing along the railroad tracks. No morning is too cold, or too wet for them to be out and usually they are but wretchedly clothed, often being barefooted in the coIdest weather.
 It was merciful that the past win ter was mild for, in the fall, the coal promised to be unusually expensive and what untold misery would have been the result is hard to be imagtn- ed.

Care and Treatment Necessary.
 Hundreds of correspondents ask all about the treatment of hair and scalp and many ask for my "secret"-ob- serving that my hair is luxuriant, fluff is the rule with women, and constant care is the exception. Woman's hair quickly reSents neglect and proceeds to destroy her beauty in revenge. The hair should be thoroughly aired and brushed at least once a day, and if ex- posed to the suns rays during the brushing 1t is all the better for its life and Iuster.
 pood at least once a month, and in many cases when the scalp and hair are diseased once in two weeks is not too often. But beware of strong alkau soaps, etc. always use gIoriol glowene, which is saponif1ed vegetable oils with no free aIkali. It is the pu- rest and best cleansing agent to be obtained; besides, it is antiseptic and germ destroying.
 If the scalp is affected with dan druh, if 1t itches constantly and the hair lacks luSter and combs out waste fully, then advise the application of plain yellow minyo1 at least once in two weeks Gull directions with each four-ounce jar1. This stops itching destroys microbes and diseases If tI1S hair and scalp.
 Thousands have straight, "stringy '' dull hair, and for those who are not blessed with fluffy, waving locks, I recommend gloriol wavo1ene, which I use regularly. It keeps the hair in curl or wave for days at a time, even in damp weather, while it enables one to dispense with the terribly injurious curling iron. Never use a hot curling iron& One application of a hot iron does more damage to the hair than Nature can overcome in a year. Wa Volene is invisible, easily applied as per directions and gives universal sat isfaction to my friends

 Miss Birdie c. asks: My cheeks are
 hollow and my skin is dry, salloW and

 moves other complexion blemfshes.

 Give special attention to the setting hens Have their nests so arranged that they can go on and off at will DO not fuss with them, but keep a watch on their supplies grain and water should be constantly before them.
 During the summer months when fowls have free range and can pro cure insects and an abundance of grass. meat and vegetables are not so essential in the bill of fare, but if the hens are confined, meat scraps and green feed should still be sup piled.
 Regular feeding is Of the utmost importance. Adopt the method of feeding best suited to your circum stances Fowls become accustomed to their feed at certain times, and irreg- uIar feeding impafrs digestion from overinduIgence if the feeding is de- ferred, or want of appetite if fed too frequently
 Egg eating is generally caused by an insufficient supply of lime The best cure is to give them all the broken egg shells they will eat. A broken egg mixed with red pepper or kerosene will help to break the habit Plenty of oyster shells within reach, whole some food, exercise, pleasant quarters and darkened nests will act as a pre- ventatixe.

POULTRY POINTERS

Keep the eggs in a cool dry room, or cellar.
 Attend to the machine carefully and at regular hours.
 Always test the hen on china or nest eggs before setting.
 Proper ventilation and sunlight mean a dry house and healthy birds.
 The hopper system is all right. pro- vided you have the proper things in the hopper.
 Sicknes and lice are scarce articles where poultry houses are kept dry and clean. Look out for hidden nests. At this season hens that are on range are very apt to steal their nests.
 A quiet, gentle hen with the mother instinct strongly developed is worth money in the chicken business.
