HOW TO GEL Up ~ FOURTH OF
JULY PARTY.

In the July Woman's Home Companion
appears page entitled Entertainment
on which several contributors give sug-
gestions for picnics and parties. One
contributor gives the following sugges-
tons to hostesses who wish to entertain
periodically on the Fourth of July:
For table decorations use as center
piece small snip OF State flower
trimmed, floated on mirror on a
cheesecloth rlppied sea, or Oh large
shallow tray of water. Thirteen tall
crystal candlesticks bearing candles of
red, white and blue, alternating, lighted
or not as desired. Stimulating the 'Thir-
teen Colonies may illuminate the table.
Pure white candles, each stick bearing
a perky bow of tricolored ribbon, might
be used instead. All the candlesticks
could be joined either to the ship by
narrow tricolored ribbons or separate
red, white and blue ones. For day.
light party the candesticks might bear
firecrackers instead of candles.
GAS place cards use Liberty Bells or
little ships bearing quotations from the
poem The Launching of the Ship,
which refers to the Union as giant
Ship. Another place card suggestion is
to make use of wee rolls of the 'Decla
ration of independence tied with tri-
colored narrow ribbon and bearing the
clause beginning, we, the people of the
United States
For favors, small drums containing
patriotic confections, with small drum
sticks made of red, white and blue re-
ception Sticks can be used.
"Tiny American flags stuck upright
in individual forts of vanilla or chocolate
ice cream add patriotic touch to an
easily prepared dessert

One of the smart new bags is of suede
with pointed end of patent leather,
this goes well with the low shoes so
much worn with patent leather vamps
and suede uppers in tan or gray, or green
leather.
BRAID TRIMMINGS.
Braid trimmings are evidently gaining
ground with the well-dressed, for they
are increasingly worn since their reap
pearance last spring. Black braid edges
the coats and long tunics on fashionable
suits of blue or checked tweeds. Colored
braids are being used for girdles and
trimmings usually to match the color OF
the suit. Fancy mixed braids are used
for girdles, and to give the patchy effect
of brilliant color that is fetchingly en-
ployed to finish short coats or hang, fob
fashion, at the side of dark skirt.
LEATHER TRIMMINGS.
Leather belts, especially the patent
leather and SUICIDES, are used with all sorts
of costumes, and there are signs of pop
ularity for further use of leather trim
mings for collars. cuffs, and various
banded devices. Sailors of white duck
or straw with patent leather trimmll gs
in outstanding high bows, are very much
worn and are especially good at the shore
where dampness has a depressing effect
on most hat garnitures.
THE ALL WHITE FROCK.
The all white frock, which is perennial
ly with US, once the temperature sug-
gests the attractiveness of cool attire,
is varied and frightened with the bril-
liant wide girdles which help to produce
the large wasted effect that fashion con-
tinues to endorse. Ribbons in printed
patterns, stripes and plaids are very
much used for these and there is little
new kink in fastening the lower front
edges with couple Of fancy buttons to
produce sort OF waistcoat effect.
CAPE SUITS.
With the vogue of capes of all lengths,
and cuts from the all-covering long Con-
nemara wrap to the shortest and most
coquettish ruched taffeta mantle, it has
been just step to the popularity of the
cape suit. That is a suit of skirt and
cape, instead of.coat and skirt as hereto
fore. Almost all jackets are taking on
such loose circular cuts that it becomes
increasingly difficult to decide whether
tho outer top belongs in coat or cape
class. LUCY CARTER.

BILE and BIL|OUSNESS

Bile is manufactured in the cells of the
liver. 1t assists digestion and prevents
putrefaction in the intestines. Bile IS
necessary to life but excess OF bile Is
poisonous. .,
The effects of excessive secretion OF bile
and failure to eliminate it from the blood,
which is also function OF the liver, are
white-coated or brown-furred tongue, bit
ter taste in the mouth, indigestion, head,
ache, lack of appetite, constipation and
This is a condition popularity called
biliousness and points directly to the
need of something to regulate the liver:
For this purpose the claim is made that
Pinklets. the new laxative, are greatly
superior to old-fashioned liver medicines
which over-stimulate the liver and, when
their use is stopped, leave the liver more
torpid than before. That over-stlmula-
zion debilitates the liver is as certain as

FRIDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1914.
THE DARKEST HOUR.

1t is an old saying: "The darkest
hour is just before the dawn" And
there is comfort in the old saying.
There are many people face to face
with condition that is anything but
encouraging, condition that appears
to be drawing to a elimination. With
the coming of the New Year it is go
ing to take a stout heart and a firm
hand to meet the issues. The past
year has been one of sore trial for
farmer, for merchant and for the sal
aried man. With the depression
brought on by the great European
war, the political upheaval and the
low priced cotton, the South has suf-
fered more than her share in the hard
conditions. All over the South the
depression has been severe. In Jan
uary there must be a new start, a
>cc, A'cl gathering together of ones
resources and an adjustment in many
lines. For it cannot be that the con-
ditions now prevailing will go on for
ever. There will come better times;
slowly and through many reverses,
but surely we will come into more toll
cradle conditions. Slowly but surely
there will come a restoration of pros
20
every strong-hearted, true man, RIGA
and poor, owes it to himself and his
country to contribute his just share
to the upbuilding of the community
contribute something to the good
work. The stringency of money is
the prime manifestation of the hard
conditions now prevailing. There are
could not pay somebody something.
Such movement, should it be made
general would help wonderfully. From
the butcher to the banker the results
would Immediately be felt if there
was an honest effort made along thl
line of "pay as far as you can
We can illustrate this in our Own
experience Well nigh every sub
scriber on our list now in arrears
could pay us one dollar for a ycaI y
renewal 1t would he mere baga-
telle tor the individual subscriber
The aggregate would wipe out all our
t.,I
small end large, in Union and Union
county who would at once be placed
upon firm basis, if all their debtors,
small and great, would make honest
effort to pay as far as possible. The
truth is, confidence, the ole great
need, would be Immediately strength
ened, and that would lead to better
conditions. One dollar paid would
start out on its debt-paying mission
and there is no telling how much good
it would do The movement would
help all lines of business
On the other hand, there never was
a time when there was greater need
for the creditor to be patient and mer-
ciful. 1t is no time for harsh and Sc
we're demands. By the exercise of
mercy he will not only help others
he will thus best protect his own in
terests, and will thus contribute his
full share towards the restoration of
confidence.
First of all, let there be a strength
ening of confidence. Let debtor and
creditor get closer to gether. Let
each do all that is possible to show
that integrity, honesty, fair play and
a square deal are to be the rule, and
half the troubles that now face us
will vanish into thin air.
Let us remember: "The darkest
hour is just before the dawn" Re-
membering this, let each one honest
ly try to hasten the rising sun.

GAS LEAKED
!. SPOILED BALLOON
Bell Telephone Company
Disappointed.
A SINGLE MISHAP.
Big Balloon Would Only Partially
Raise by Reason of Lack
of Gas.

But one scheduled event for Bridge
tons greatest day was doomed to fail
ure. H. w. Emo, District Manager for
the Bell Telephone Company, and one
OF the marshalls of the Industrial Di-
vision of the great parade, was untir-
Ing In his every effort to make the day
q success and secured from Philadel-
phia high-powered searchlight, and
"a large gas balloon, which was to
have fioated over the lake at night.
This balloon, by the way, was made
by Captain A. Leo Stevens and was
used about year ago in Russia for
experiments in war photography from
the sky, for the Russian government.
1t was also used for sky photography
by its maker in balloon races in Rus
sia and later in America by Mr.. H. T.
Atherholt, an internationally famous
balloonist, who recently won for the
United States, the international races
in st. Louis and who will shortly
compete as the American contestant
in an international race beginning at
Kansas City.
G. E. Gable, copy manager of the
Telephone Company, from Philadel-
phia will make an ascension with Mr..
Atherholt this month and was here
Monday to raise this balloon Mr..
Gable stated that in some unexplain-
able way quantity of gas had leaked
f-pm one of the steel tanks which
We're shipped here and the loss of this
gas made the remaining total too
small to properly fill the bag.
For time it seemed that the at
tempt would be successful in spite Of
this and the balloon scared high
above the woods opposite the pavilion
1t was too weak, however, and it was
finally decided to pull the great silk
bag back to earth and abandon the
effort.
AS it grew dark the Bell Telephone
searchlight flashed out from the pa
vilion balcony and illuminated the en-
tire lake. The searchlight is one of
5000 candle power and three mile
range and when the canoe parade
emerged from the raceway, the great
finger of light flashed along the line
and spread daylight along the course.
