FURS

Some one. has said I that furs
make plain womansbeautiful and
beautiful woman ravishing.
That may be bit of poetic ex-
travagance, but there is no ques-'
ton but furs enhance the costume
and add to the beauty Of the face.
The average woman. does not
buy furs as she does a new hat
with the thought that if-it is not
satisfactory she can easily get an
other. She buys them after care
full consideration and selection, be-
cause it means a large expendi-
ture of money and, therefore,
must be made to last several sea-
sons. sti
It is also true that the average
woman does notknow very much
concerning fur.value. It is there
fore, necessary that she buys from
only reliable fur dealers. s

RUGS FROM THE OLD CARPET
Not Costly. and Are Attractive
and Practical.

When your carpets have become
too worn for use, cut them up into
any desired sizes as foundations for
new rugs to be made In this way:
Take. let US say. two yards OF dark
green monks cloth. which Is b3 inches
wtdes and lay 1t smoothly down over q
worn piece Of carpet,sewing the selvage
Of the carpet-or II the carpet has had
to be cut SO that q selvage Is impossi-
Bile, whip the raw edges carefully be-
fore fastening the monks cloth to 1t. At
the ends allow about two inches Of
the cloth to extend beyond the edges
of the carpet, which must be first
whipped before they are fastened
down. Then unravel the ends of the
cloth-a particularly easy thing to
DO with monks cloth-and in this way
make finishing fringe. II further
ornamentation Is desired a stenciled
border may be painted on either end.
Or band Of lighter or darker shade
than the color OF the monks cloth
may be stitched on perfectly plain
or applied in a conventional design.
In my own home we have made not
only rugs such as the above, but most
attractive small rugs for the bath
room, using burlap instead OF the
monks cloth. and ornamenting them
with simple cross-stitch design work
In heavy yarn. The old carpet under
them gives durability and keeps them
from curling up. When the burlap
wears out or becomes much soiied 1t
is very simple matter to take 1t OF
and put new piece over the. old
foundation. These rugs cost very lit
tie. yet they are really q most attrac-
tive and practical invention.-Ex-

HAIR CAME OUT IN HANDFuLs

Hughson, Cal.-"Last winter my

scalp began to itch terribly and my

pimples broke out on my scalp, espe'

II used several different kinds OF
shampoo and soap but 1t got worse all
the time for five or six months. When
I had lost about half Of my hair
started using Cuticura Soap and oint-

stopped itching and in two or three
months my hair began to come in
new. My head is clear of dandruh

To make hard butter spread easily,
beat 1t to cream instead OF warm
ing 1t. This way gives it better flavor
and prevents waste.
To use mustard with bacon use 1t
in the cooking OF It; in this way cover
each side Of the slice of bacon with
thin layer Of made mustard (make
with water. not vinegar), and fry as
usual. This does not cause the mus
tard to get hot, but gives it deli
cious flavor.
To enjoy mashed potatoes at their
best. add little baking powder just
before serving. the proportion being
half teaspoonful II six people are to
be served. This makes them SO de-
liciously white and light that you will
never serve them without it again.
To make new potatoes scrape easily,
and also to prevent the hands being
stained. put them to soak in water
for little while, to which small
piece Of common soda has been added.
To keep moths out of your closets
and chests without giving the clothes
an unpleasant odor sprinkle oil OF
cedar freely inside on the wood in the
corners. Be careful that It, does not
touch the clothing, or 1t may leave
q stain.

A POTENT RACE POISON.

Scientists are agreed that alcohol
is a potent race poison; it poisons the
whole system. notably the reproduc-
tive organs and protoplasm. There
fore we cannot have drinking without
race-degeneration. II parents abstain
their children are healthy, but II, later
on, the parents take to drinking. the
children are afflicted mentally and
physically. Plato understood this
when he deprecated drink for nursing
mothers. II, in extreme cases, alcohol
is an extreme poison. moderate drink
ing is moderate poisoning. The medi-
cal profession contains pro.alcoholists
and antialcoholists; but the policy
of facing both ways Is weak. and be-
fore long. presumably. all medical men
will be anti-alcoholists. Let them
preach the gospel that there Is NO
USE FOR ALCOHOL IN HUMAN
LIFE. Abstinence tends to true pa
triotism. and the state ought to do
preventive work as we'll as curative.

Indianapolis newspapers tell the
story of why a certain attorney sud

for a number of years. Recently the
saloon man bought a house and lot

abstract for him. The steady patron
resented this and wanted to know why

CHOOSE YOUR BRIDGE.

Remember, all who have fallen into
the dark river of intemperance have
fallen from Moderation bridge. none
from the Total Abstinance bridge. Re-
member, II there were no drunkards
on earth today and moderate drinking
should continue. there would be plenty
Of them tomorrow. Look once more
at the procession headed by half a
million drunkards dropping into the
tide. a million moderate drinkers, two
million of occasional, fashionable
drinkers, and behind them all the
boys and young men of our land-and
then, as you shall face the record In
eternity, call on you to choose. as
brother of humanity. a patriot. a
Christian, on which bridge you will
cross.-Frances E. Willard.

HOLOUP UNDER EYES oF POLICEMAN M'GRATH

When Jack McGinnity started to walk along under the windows of the police station late the other night he felt about as secure from mo- lestation as any man possibly could. But he was the most surprised man in the world when a stranger hur- ried up from behind and after in forming hi mhe was an officer an- nounced that he was under arrest and would have to be searched right then and there.
 Policeman McGrath was alone in the station and when he glanced out of the window and saw a holdup in progress within ten feet of where he was sitting he couldn't believe his eyes. After alloing the man to go through his victims pockets, he made his way unobserved to the front of the building and placed both men under arrest. Of course, McGinnity protested and the stranger said he hadn't been doing anything out of the way.
 But McGinnity insisted that he had been robbed of fifteen cents and that amount of money was found in the strangers pocket. When booked the alleged holdup man gave the name of William Morris. He has been formally charged with highway rob- bery and will be given a hearing to- day before Justice J. w. JohnstOne. McGinnity was also held as wit ness to insure the prosecution of the case.
