Dresses of Soft Taffeta

Both manufacturers and buyers
have vivid recollections of unsatisfac-
tory results in handling taffeta dress
es. For this reason the new. soft
taffetas brought out for fall and win
ter have been taken very slowly.
Only the softest chiffon taffetas
are used. as the cheaper grades will
not give good service.
While some of the striped, plaided
and printed taffetas are used in COM
bination with the plain. the majority
of the dressy gowns are developed in
the plaintaffeta.
For evening wear the coIers favor
the pastel shades found in the sweet
pea, the soft tones " pink. yellow
lavender and rose are among the
special favorites. With these soft
silks are used beaded garnitures and
sashes; also allover beaded nets and
laces arranged in the waist and for
the drapeIies.
Street dresses adhere closely to the
darker colors, such as navy. brown
mahogany, Russian green and taupe

An Early Postal Experiment.

letters by using stamps In 1853 Paris
tried a system that even provided pill
lar boxes for the letters. which were
to have billet, price sol, attached to
the letter or parcel The experiment
met the usual experience of the pio-
neer-ridicule. Mice were dropped into
the letter boxes and when the letters
came to be collected it was found that
the animals had made a hearty meal Of
them. AS nobody could be sure Of the
fate of the parcels, the experiment

Constantinople by two men who were
armed with revolvers, who attacked
him while he was proceeding in his
motor car to the Sublime Porte. Ibra-

All Clogged Up?
Here's Quick Relief
Simple Remedy to Correct
Constipation Before It
Becomes Chronic.

Very few people go through
life without some time or other
being troubled with constipation.
Thousands injure themselves by
the use of strong cathartics, salts,
mineral waters, pills and similar
things. They have temporary
value in some cases, it is true, but
the good effect is soon lost, and
the more one takes of them the
less effective they become.
A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and
more permanent results can be
obtained by using a scientific
remedy like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. 1t does not hide behind
high sounding name, but what
1T is represented to be, a mild lax
alive medicine. 1t is SO mild that
thousands of mothers give 1t to
tiny infants, and yet it is SO COM
pounded, and contains such def
mite ingredients that it will have
equally good effect when used by
person suffering from the worst
chronic constipation. In fact,
among the greatest endorsers of
Syrup Pepsin are elderly people
who have suffered for years and
found nothing to benefit them I'M
til they took Syrup Pepsin.
1t is fact that millions of
families have DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin constantly in the house,
homes like those of Mr.. H. w.
Fenstermaker, Siegfried, Pa. He
says he has had wonderful re-
suits from the use of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, that, in fact,
he has never found a remedy so
good, and he is glad to recon-
