SCHOOL TEACHERS.

For many years I had used coffee
and refused to be convinced of its bad
effect upon the human SYSTEM" writes
a veteran school teacher.

public schools after years of continu-
GUS labor. / had developed we'll de-

THE troubles were constipation,
flutterings Of the heart, humping

parts of my body, twitching of my

times after exertion, general gone"
feeling, with a toper's desire for very
strong coffee. I was a nervous wreck
for years.

TAKE TIME TO SELECT VEIL
Extremely Important Part of Feminine
Costume According to Fash
ions of Today.

An ill-chosen veil, a soiled one,
geil that is fastened askew, or is too
tight or too loose, can destroy all the
beauties of the hat and neatly arrang
ed hair that 1t covers, while a really
pretty veil which is carefully put on
will give the final touch of dainty
smartness to the wearer's appearance.
The most satisfactory veil for both
wear and good looks is fine silk one.
Don't buy the cheap limitations in stiff
fened cotton. The sticky dressing that
is put on soon somes off and the veil
easily crumples and tears. The silk
wells can be bought for about twice as
much, but will outwear three or four
of the cheaper wells.
Besides the quality of veil the pat
tern and color must be chosen with
care. Large women with pronounced
features may wear wells with striking
patterns and look well, while the deli
cate features of smaller woman
would be almost hidden by a veil of
the same design.
No matter how pretty your. veil may
be it will only mar your appearance
If it is not put on properly. 1t is hard
to tell which is more unattractive, a
veil that is too loose or one that is too
tight To wear with the fashionable
small hat, buy Just enough yelling to
go around the hat and meet in the
middle of the back brim, allowing
enough for drawing the ends together
and twisting around each other, and
not buy any more. To ease the veil
over the face, pin a plat at each side
Of the crown, taking in the fullness

The waiter was trying to look un-
concerned, but at the same time kept
an eye on the guest whom he had
just served with portion of stewed
.steak.
He had sampled that stewed steak
himself, and was feeling doubtful
about his tip. He was astonished,
therefore. when the customer beck
oned to him and asked:
"Can you get me two more portions
of this steak?"
Eyes, sir! Certainly, sir!" replied the
waiter, wondering whether, after all,

guise. "And some more potatoes, sir?"
ooh, no, no! only want the steak

RESIDENT HUERTAS METHOD OF
FINANCING HIS ADMINISTRATION
lc Dictator Has Very Effective Way of Raising Money at
Home by Special Taxes" or patriotic Subscriptions
Country Very Rich and Nowhere Do People Spend More
Freely on Clothes, Jewels and Amusement

ment is continually devising new
means for raising money from the
people. The stamp tax, which was
very heavy even before Mexico had
revolution, has been doubled recent
ly. Every bill for merchandise, every
check to pay such bills, every page
of an account book, every receipt for
money received in sums exceeding
five pesos, every real estate transfer,
every legal paper, every telegram
must be stamped. The doubling of
the stamp taxes recently has netted
the government many thousands of
dollars day.
But Huerta hasn't begun" said a
wealthy hacienda owner the other
day. HE has just scratched the sur
face when it comes to getting money
to run his government. l live in
Jalisco and the extra taxes this year

another name for a forced loan, but
forced loans are necessary when a
country has a war on hand. Huerta
can raise 500,0O0,000 pesos without
going OUTSIDE OF MEXICO II he S0IS his
mind to it. I think he has been very
moderate so far, but if he is pushed
too hard, he may come down on the
people hard. He may even issue gov
eminent fiat money. There is no rea-
son why he should not if he cannot
raise money abroad. The United
States issued such money during our
Civil war; why shouldn't Mexico? If
Woodrow Wilson is waiting for Mex
leo to go broke, he'll wait long, long
time-much longer than his presiden-
tial term.
Mexico is not going broke. Mexico
is one of the wealthiest countries in
resources of any in the world. The
vast majority of the people are poor,
but the rich are exceedingly rich and
there is a very large middle class in
comfortable circumstances. Every aft
ernoon in this city many hundred OF
expensive automobiles parade up and
down Avenida San Francisco. No

Or late President Huerta has gone

New Blue and Yellow.
MARY DEAN.

Each season there is issued in Paris
color card 1t is sent to the fabric
houses, and those who see it know
rather well in advance during the fol-
lowing season.
The new blue is called petrol; there
are many tones of yellow and brown
on it, and the newest one is intended
as a subtle compliment to the Ameri-
cans. 1t is called dollar yellow.
1t is the shade best known as old
gold.
There is much significance in the
choice of the name OF the coin. Twen-
ty francs and 20 marks are both of
gold, SO is coin of every nation, but
the French mind the American ma
ton stands for money more than for
aught else.

FR0CkS FOR DANCING
DISTINCTIVE STYLES THOUGHT
ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSABLE.
Taffeta the Most Popular Material,
and Sleeves May Be Short or
Long, According to the Fancy
OF the Wearer.

Now that there is dancing at almost
every social function, one must have
number of pretty frocks for such
occasions. For wear during the after
noon tea hour numbers of little
dresses called tango frocks" are
shown. These are usually made of
taffeta and have the modish bouffant
fiuffiness at the hips. The sleeves are
short or long, according to the fancy
of the wearer. The corsage is cue
more or less low and is filled in with
plain white tulle, wired to stand up
about the neck or scantily frilled.
One often sees such frocks made en-
tirely of taffeta in vivid colors-blue,
yellow, American beauty, pink or en-
erald.
These dressy little gowns intended
for afternoon wear, will put in the
background the tailor made costumes,
formerly worn for visiting and for
small teas.
There is practically endless variety
in the material available for dance
frocks for evening wear, although

many of the new models are fashion
ed from taffeta Such frocks are, as
rule, of a more delicate coloring than
the taffeta gown for afternoon wear.
One of the evening frocks is of tat
feta of the newest and most exclus-
i've sort. The silk is of the soft, lus-
trous quality, for which dressmakers
with a clientele that justifes such
prices, are paying five and six dollars
a yard at the wholesale importing
houses. The silk is a changeable sill

yer and pink, the pink predominating
and silver embroidery on a white chif-
fon foundation forms the V at the low
cut decollete and also the short
sleeves. At the waist line there is a
high girdle of chine silk. The skirt Is
made with pulled tunic.
The skirts of the dancing frocks are
very narrow, but as one must move
freely when dancing the modern
dances the skirt is sometimes slashed
underneath Joined plat in the back.
The lines of the bodice do not show
great variety. The upper part is gen
orally thinly yelled with chiffon or
lace, while the lower part is either
formed of the same material as the
skirt or lined with soft silk. The
sleeves are mere trifies, and if there
are sleeves at all they are fashioned
upon the kimono lines.

Greenery for Table.

The prettiest kind of greenery for
the dining room table is made by
planting the seeds of grape fruit and
sowing them thickly. In a short time
the tiny shoots appear and the leaves
begin to unfold, and soon there is a
mass of rich, glossy green which is not
affected by the heat, as to many deli
cate ferns are. 1t is pretty, inexpen-
sive and will outlast a dozen ordinary
ferns.
