never were artificial flowers SO lovely

For the oval Face.

The new wells have two or more
weaves Of mesh In their foundations,
and often elaborate embroidered" de-
signs thereon. The wider, or more
open mesh, is around the eyes and it
often continues in a v to the chin,
the lower portions of the jaw and
cheek being covered by angles of finer
mesh on each side. Possibly the
creators of this style veil believed it
might give the impression of an oval
shape to the face, but it does not, and
it is becoming to only few types OF
beauty.

HATS WIDER OF BRIM
PROMINENT FEATURE OF THE
SUMMER MILLINERY.
Foundations of Lace or Maline Are
Favored-Artificia Flowers VIII
Play an important Part in the
Trimmings.
Nv MARY DEAN.

Among the new models in summer
millinery most in evidence are those
with medium brims; and there are
midsummer models which are rather
wide of brim-at least by comparison
with the hats to which we have be-
come accustomed for the past few
seasons; and some of these wide
brimmed models are exceedingly
charming.
There is something about the wide,
shady brim that seems appropriate to
summer days, and harmonizes with
summer toilettes. Many of these

A machine will squeal and squeak
and sob when in trouble, and we all
know there are but two alternatives
to such conditions-rest and lubr1ca-
ton to overcome the roughness, or an
early trip to the junk yard. And 1T Is
the same with man: Man feels, and
on every side we see evidence of the
squealtng, the squeaking and the Sob
bling of the nerves composing the hui
man machine; and but little effort is
made to remove the cause. And in our
mortality and other statistical tables
we see the result in an ever rising
premature mortality-an enormous
economic loss through destruction at
what should be the period of greatest
usefulness and efficiency.
Genius Is the type of mind that per-
ceives and grasps principles where the

FRICTION.

The life and efficiency of every ma
chine depends on overcoming friction.
Friction wears things out, and to over
come friction is the recognized need
of today in every branch of Industrial
activity. A large item in the cost OF
operating every machine is that cover
ing anti-friction bearings and lubri-
cants. Neglected friction will quickly
wreck and land any machine on the
scrap pile
Railway systems, steamship lines,
manufacturing plants of every descrlp-
ton, telegraph and telephone COM
panies, great and small. all employ
highly trained and well paid experts
constantly to supervise and test appa-
ratus and structure for the purpose OF
guarding against breakdown from the
development of any inherent weakness
in physical equipment and to test imam
cial and executive departments in or
der to insure against breakdown or
any loss of efficiency in these I'M
portant functions of our great artlhclai
bodies. Experience has evolved a now
well established economic theory IN
the bushes world to the effect that
it is cheaper to spend money to pre-
vent wrecks than 1t is to spend money
to clear away and repair wreckage.
But for man himself, the one funda-
mental factor upon and for whom the
entire industrial structure exists, this
theory of the business world is re.
versed The theory upon which the
medical profession has been organized
is highly absurd and irrational. The
physician must stand around and walt
until there Is a human breakdown, and
then he is called in only as repair
man-frequently too late to secure
worth while results.

power to analyze, to measure, weigh
Judge and accept or reject any thought
on any subject. Thought is a canni-
bal because thought lives upon thought
and unless constantly given fresh and
substantial food it must starve and
become inert.
But to think is to change; nothing
can prevent that, and we have noted
that we are constitutionally opposed
to change. Hence most OF US solve
the matter by refusing to think; we
Just drop into line and do the conyen-
tional lockstep and go where we're
taken" 1t is simple and pleasant to
sit in the easy chair of the old order
and let the universe wag along; one
travels much more smoothly If the
head contains only the ideas others
have developed.
But there is another side to it. 1t is
a physiological truth that any organ,
denied the right to function, will
atrophy, and an atrophied organ sooner
or later must become the source of i'll
health. Experts in any department of
human architecture will verify that
fact. The brain is the organ of thought,
constructed under pressure of neces-
sity by a long line of ancestors who
used it in the struggle for existence;
it is the dominant and fundamental
factor in the creation of all human
wealth and power and the general
manager and regulator of our bodies
today. Unused brain capacity causes
trouble and danger to both the indi-
vidual and the community.
We will come into better state of
health not so much by improving
physical conditions outside as by i'm
proving the physical apparatus and
working of our own mind and bodies
from the inside.

A Hardy Crop.

James A. Emmons, former county
commissioner of Burlei2h county.
has sent to General f.. A. Williams
q sample of et-er.eta, new forage
crop, raised in Pawnee, Okla.
where Mr.. Emmops is located.
The crop is native in South Africa
and probably has been tried for the
first time in Oklahoma. where it was
the only forage crop that withstood
the drought of 1914.
The forage withstands whitening
hot winds and natures in from SIS to
80 days.
General Williams submitted a
sample to Oscar Will. He stated
that it was feasible crop for this
section and the crop will be on sale.
Samples of this interesting crop
will be on exhibition at the EXPOSE
tion, in the Burleigh county exhibit.

like small peppers, only the grains
are white. Bismarck Tribune.
