Mistaken Diagnosis Doctors
 Guess Wrong Again

About five years ago wrote to you that I had been terrible sufferer from kidney and bladder troubles, and that my phy. sician informed me that my left kidney was in such condition that there was DO hope for my recovery. I was advised to try your Swamp-Root as last resort, and after taking four fifty-cent size bottles, I passed gravel stone which weighed ten grains. I afterwards forwarded you this gravel stone. Have had no return of any trouble since that time and cannot say too much in favor of your wonderful pre- paration, Swamp Root, which cures, af- ter physicians fail.
 Very truly yours,
 F. H. HORNE, Route 3, Box 30. Roseboro, N. O. Personally appeared before me, this 3lst day of July, 1909, F. H. Horne, who subscribed the above statement and made oath that the same is true in substance and in fact. JAMES M. HALL,

THERE is never time when a hat, ' moderately broad of brim and with a crown which is so conservative as to escape attention, is out of style. A shape of this kind with a covering of velvet and facing of crepe or satin. trimmed with plumes, is about the most reliable of all millinery. It has no eccentricities that catch the atten- tion, but its grace and elegance and general becomingness make it always pleasing.
 The hat shown in the illustration is a superb piece of millinery made of velvet over frame whose brim droops, in the gentlest of curving lines, just a little at the back and front. The fac ing, of crepe georgette, is creamy white. Besides the beauty of rich ma terial, that of exquisite workmanship adds it's cham to the fine color-con- trast of black and white and the pleas ing lines of the shape. Very hand some ostrich feathers, are used for the trimming. Such composition re- suits in hat dignified and beautiful, which will harmonize with any color in the costume. Its wearer may face any formal occasion undismayed and very secure in the knowledge that her millinery is quite equal to the strict

ROAD BUILDING IN OKLAHOMA
State superiptendent of Public In- struction Takes Steps to Teach
 Boys Art of Construction.

"Not to be outdone by Missouri and take up educational work in road building said R. E. House of Mus kogee, while in Washington recently. Governor Major of Missouri and Gov ernor Hodges of Kansas stirred the imagination and ambition of the boys of Missouri and Kansas by getting out on the roads and handling pick and shovel in the making of roads. Okla homa is going to begin at the begin ming and teach. the boy in the school how to build good roads. The state highway commissioner is cooperating with the state superintendent of pub lie instruction, and the latter has taken up the matter with the county superintendents.
 When the federal government had spent thousands of dollars to encour- age scientific farming and when so few farmers adopted the methods ad- vanced, the officials changed their plans and went after the boys in the schools. They sought to teach the new methods to the older persons through the boys in the schools, and they succeeded.
 'If the farmers were made to real Ize the advantages of better farming methods through their boys in the schools, it seems to me there is little doubt they can be brought to appreci- ate the great advantages that will re- suit from improved roads. For that matter, however, the farmer ordinar- IlY understands that good roads are

Advantaae of SlIencer.

This crash of the bullet makes the value of the Maxim silencer very little, so far as military efficiency is con- cerned, in the way that the fiction writer imagines the silencer to be use full, but not to prevent the enemy from discovering the position of the men firing as many fancy.
 Its value lies in the fact that it eliminates fully half of the recoil of the rife from the action of the gases in it's chambers, and it gives the off, cers much better control over the fire, because of the lessened noise of the rifles. It cuts down the roar of the Springfield to about the noise of the .25-20 and thus the roar of the rifles at the firing line is much reduced, and the commands of the officers can be heard.-Outing.

est requirements of the current mode.
 Another hat which is in the same class with that pictured has a brim of equal width all around, crown of medium size with soft top and fac ing of the softest shade of coral pink. It depends for decoration upon an os- trich pompon from which springs a spray of long graceful bird of para disc feathers, all in shades and tints of the color in the facing. The brim droops a little on all sides and the pink of the lining is partially yelled by border of black lace which man. ages to stray over the edge of the brim, where it seems to be in easy and irregular festoons.
 To some complexions this facing of pink is much more becoming than a facing of white. One should experi- ment with color before using it. But if a doubt disturbs the mind, in se- lecting a dress hat, as to the best of shapes, it may be set at rest by choos- ing either of those described here, or hers similar to them. They belong to the ancient and honorable order of picture hats," and great artists have delighted to paint them. even before Gainsborough's time.

e HANDING at the pinnacle of popu- D larity, the pretty blouse of lowered chiffon hardly has a rival among blouses designed for dressy wear. It is not as fragile as it looks, but 1t is fragile enough, at that. The waists are usually made of chiffon having a light-colored ground over which rather large flowers are scattered in many beautiful colorings and shadings.
 Besides these lowered patterns there are others, showing Persian de- signs in wonderful colors, and also some novelties rather difficult to de- scribe. In any case the chiffon is draped over a foundation of plain chif- -fon, very thin silk, plain or figured pet, or thin lace.
 By way of decoration the waists are mere or less elaborated with garnish- ings of lace, small brilliant buttons, and especially with tiny fiat bows made of satin folds or narrow velvet ribbon
 Destined for less brief reign in favor are the plain blouses of crepe de chine made with sloping shoulders and long sleeves set into a regulation armhoIe. Narrow cuffs in bands of fine filet lace, or dainty collars and cuffs of organdie finish these elegant blouses They are shown in light pink, maize, blue and sand color. Often a little vestee. is worn with collar of plaited lace standing at the back, fin ished with narrow band of black selvet ribbon which supports and holds

Odor of Stale Eaas.

You cannot mistake the odor of stale or bad eggs. To a certain ex- tent eggs like butter are susceptible to bad odors. Some believe that the egg absorbs odors after being laid by coming in contact with foreign sub stances. For instance a kerosene taste in eggs would not necessarily Indicate that hen had been drinking kerosene. Eggs that are exposed to odors of kerosene in some close back room or whose shells have become saturated with the oil will have ker' osene taste.

KNOW NOW And Will Never Forget the Experience.

The coffee drinker who has suffered changing from coffee to Postum knows something valuable. There's no doubt about 1t.
 'I learned the truth about coffee in peculiar way" says California wom- m. My husband who has, for years, been of bilious temperament decided to leave oil coffee and give Postum a trial, and as did not want the trouble of making two beverages for meals concluded to try Postum, too. The re- suits have been that while my husband has been greatly benefited, have my self received even greater benefit.
 When I began to drink Postum was thin in flesh and very nervous. Now actually weigh 16 pounds moro than I did at that time and I am stronger physically and in my nerves. while husband is free from all his ails.
 we have learned our little lesson about coffee and we know something about Postum, too, for we have used Postum now steadily for the last three years and we shall continue to do so
 We have no more use for coffee the drug drink. We prefer Postum and health"
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to We'll ville," in pkgs.
 Postum comes in two forms:

advantageous. Education in the bene- fits of good roads perhaps would be more prof1tably undertaken in the pub lie schools of the big cities. It is the state legislatures and the federal gov ernment that have failed to appreciate the profits that will accrue from good roads. It is far better to spend money on good roads than on great armies and navies, and it would seem that the highways had better be made passable before the government un- 1ertakes to make the rivers navigable, for there is more traffic over the coun- try roads than on the rivers"
