BURk S SHE'D.


 Since writing our last items for The News dark cloud which al most overshadows everything else, hsa come over our home. On Satur- day night. Sept. 26th, our oldest boy, fttle 13 year old Johnnie was taken, as We thought, slightly i'll, and didn t seem to be very bad until Tuesday night, when physician was summon ed After doing everything he could for the little fellow. to no avail, he told us frankly that he did not un. derstand the case and advised Us to call another doctor which We did. and those two veteran physicians, with a good practice and wide eXper- fence, exhausted all the skill and means at their command to no avail, and oar dear lit.le Johnnie was talk ea from earth to Heaven at 4;42 o'clock Wednesday morning. His lit tie b2dy was quietly laid to rest in Burks Shed cemetery Thursday morning, surrounded by a throrg Of friends and school mates, who GOV cred the casket with beautiful flow CTS, before it was lowered to it's last resting place, to await the resurree- ton morn. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. \. Owen of Huntsville. Johnnie was a model child, always obedient and faithful ] in the performance of his duties, and was loved by his school mates. who wept with broken hearts when he was taken away. Oh how sad was the parting. Our hearts are torn with grief; there is an aching void the world can never fin,s but while we now look through the glass dark ly and cannot understand; the good Lord knows best, and we humbly boy to his will in fond anticipation oi meeting dear little Johnnie again ov- CT on the other shore, where sac partings will be no more. He told IL just before he went away he was going to Heaven and when l fols him in broken tones papa is comins after while" he answered sweetly q know you are.

DELICIOUS CANDIES


x few weeks ago We published some lavorite recipes of May lrwin's :ho noted Comedienne The follow ta- are some ef her favorite can dies a. prepared by herself:

GIFT SORT OF STARCH TO USE
 ON MUSLIN COLLARS.

There is only one valid objection to the muslin collars. They are fragile. Like maline, moisture re duCes them to shapelessness. Wrink- les are as obvious on them as they are on linen shirtwaists, says the Philadelphia North American. For tunately, laundering restores them to their stiffness. Sometimes they are stiff enough if they are ironed wet. But usually they need little starch. Here is recipe for the right sort of starch:
 Add a piece of paraffin the size of an egg and a piece of white or castle soap the size of a hazelnut to a qu lrt Cf boiling water. Nil. the starch with cold water in a bowl, using whatever proportion of starch to quart of water the par ticular brand oI starch call tor to make a thin starch. Add the cold mixture to the boiling mixture and let it boil up two or three minutes. Then add a little bluing in liquid form.

 HOW TO SEW ON BUTTONS.

I'd rather do anything than sew on buttons" says one young woman who does a good portion of her own sewing. She didn't know how and that gave her trouble. This is the way a button should be sewed on :
 Take a small stitch, bringing the knot on the right side. Run up through one hole of the button and draw it down just over the knot. Lay pin across the button and work the stitches over the pin When the button is firmly sewed on remove the pin. Pull the but ton out from the material and wind the thread around the threads be- tween the button and cloth several times to form shank Pass the needle through to the wrong side and fasten the thread with several small stitches.
 The shank formed makes buttoning easier and lessens the strain on the cloth. The knot is brought up on the right side and under the button to keep it from being worn off.

Mothers Should Mm0w


IL Is important for every mother to know whether her boys and girls are fit for school Many children fail in their studies and. lay the foundations for lifetimes of i'll health simply because their we'll meaning but ignorant parents force them to go to school when they are not in the right physical condi- tion. says an exchange.
 \ child is not fit for school unless he Shows uniform gain in weight. His flesh should be firm, his bones well shaped and every part of his body gradually rounding into normal form. He should have good ap- petite for all kinds of wholesome food. and his digestive apparatus should be in perfect working condi- ton. Every night should find him getting sound. healthful sleep. and, whether awake or asleep. he should always breathe through his nose His skin. not only of his face. but of his whole body should be clear and rosy; his teeth sound his breath sweet and his tongue clear.
 If your boys and girls are lacking in any of these particulars they are filter subjects for your. family phy sician than for a teacher, and you should not think of allowing them to enter sChoolroom until they have received the necessary medi- cal attention.

A GRATEFUL GIRL.

Long before Christmas time Miss Maud Sluman, of Vancouver, Wash made little girls dress, and into the sleeve she pasted note of good wishes and signed her name with her address. The dress was put into a package and sent off to Europe with numerous other bundles destin- cd for refugees.
 Recently Miss Sluman received a note from a little girl in Greece thanking her for the dress The quaintly Worded missive follows:
 T have received your very dearest letter and l thank you very, very much for your kindness. l stay very obliged to you for your New Year gift, and pray the good God to con- serve you in good health with all your noble family. and I follow to express to you also the due of my father and mother. In this mean. time have the honor to kiss you many times.

outside of the old fashioned method of hemming
 The revival of quaint fashions has brought into vogue quaint skirt edgings as well, and one now finds upon ultra-smart gowns the same little p.nkeG quilting of the gown material that adorned the bottom of gowns of our grandmothers An other effective edging is a silk cord formed of the gown material filled with tube of cotton padding or fine hat wire. Since the hoopskirt is again coming into favor, the skirt edge is frequently finished with featherboning and made to flare out about the feet in quite ex- traordinary and charming fashion.
 The vestee, which has been little used during the winter season, is again returning, with added attrac- tlons. Full in varying degrees, these bits Of white are extremely useful for street dress, and the soft blouse which opens at the front and even Tor the suit coat. The most dis tinctive feature of these is the pre- valence of high collars, which may or may not close completely in front. This does not mean that the rolling collar of last year has been abolished. It still exists, but in most cases it's roll is slightly eXag- gerated in the back

What Our ChinS Are For

All men have chins They form one of the most noticeable of d human beings features. and the more prominent the chin is the higher < lerson's mental and physi- cal de s.4l ",tGt is thought to be. Just N,Hy We taIe chins, however. is q matter .CIenCe has never been able 10 GeCide. There is no other part of the human body whose req son for being i shrouded in great ter mystery, says the $. F. Exam lHer.
 All sorts ot theories have been brought forward to account for the presence of chins on our faces. One is that the chin was evolved simply 10 give the crowning aesthe tic touch to mans face and make him more irresistible to the oppo- site sex. Another is that the chin was a necessity in the development of the muscles of the tongue and lower jaw and those which control our speech.
 Still d third theory. which is no more acceptable to science than the other two. is that the chin is necessary result Of man standing erect. On account of this erect position the chin is needed to af- ford room for important structures in the throat. as well as to furnish protection for them in combat
 The newest theory regarding the chin and the one which seems the most reasonable yet advanced is that the chin is purely and simply d factor in the mechanical force eXerted by our lower jaw in chew ing our food and in speech. Ac- cording to this theory the chin is situated at the outer end of the jaw lever. where the momentum is greatest, and is made up of heavy mass of bone and flesh in order

New York Fashion Talk

Failles and taffetas brocaded in silver keep their hold upon woman's favor and very beautiful pompadour brocades, in which the floral design is in large separate clusters at rather wide intervals, are chosen for some of the most picturesque gowns. Two toned stripes, polka dots in black on taffeta of light color, fancy silks of many descrip- tions are on fashions lists, but on the whole the smartest silk frocks effects usually in combination with matching sheer stuff such as tulle chiffon or indestructible voile.
 The Directoire days are contri- outing broad stripes 10 our novelties as well as other notions. these being used for waistcoats with black silks And coast of striped silks will be worn with black and plain colored skirts.
 Medieval styles are endeavoring to supplant those of the Eighties. These medieval styles hover between the thirteenth and fourteenth cen turies and are the height of artistic beauty. ne ulOuSTn dudptdtlOnS are inspired both by the masculine and feminine clothing in that far away time, so that We find among them a flowing white satin gown with ethereal sleeves of white chif- fon. These are weighted by mock jewels and confined to the waist by 2 rope of pearls, Marguerite fash ion; and We also find a lovely chiffon evening gown having form idable but stunning corselet of steel-cut beads stimulating a knights armor. On no other part of the gown do the steel beads appear. A corselet of this kind could be dupli- cated with charming effect in pearl beads. The flowing medieval sleeves upon some of the darker afternoon gowns are weighted down by little wooden apples about the size of small cranberries all shaded in green, red and yellow and most realistic.
 One can no longer speak of skirt bottoms as "hems." Hens haven't exactly gone out of fashion. for one really, truly hem now and then appears on the smartest of gar ments, especially upon the tailored suit; but the skirt edge is certainly receiving great deal of attention.

FIGHTING FLIES.

Pyrethrum powder burned in a house stupefies a fly until you can sweep him up and put him where he belongs. A little of this burned in the rooms in the morning-after which the rooms should be aired will make the house exempt from flies all day Twenty drops of car bolic acid dropped on hot shovel or on any piece of warm iron creates vapor that lays flies low The common mignonette plant grown in jars and placed in a room makes things unpleasant for flies. A handy thing is the white clover It is strange, but flies hate the odor of white clover Have a little of this around in vase and you will mo- tiCe that the flies have business in the other direction. This clover should be renewed every day or SO, for when it becomes dry it irritates the nostrils cheap and effective poison, not dangerous to human life. is bichromate of potash in solution. One drachm dissolved in two ounces of sweetened water and placed in shallow dishes will call the long roll for any number of the pests. Another remedy that for all purposes has few equals is a solu- tion of formalin, or formaldehyde in water A spoonful of this liquid in a quarter of a pint of water left exposed in a room will make the flies scarce in a very short time Flies are sensitive to light; keep the window curtains drawn, all eX- cept one little slit, and they will graVitate toward it. Then you can easily drive them outside.

teen years of age, and only a small percentage are really fit to be in school. Over 100000 900 of these children have defective teeth. 5.- 0O0.o0O have enlarged tonsils or ade- noids another 5000 900 are suffer ing from lack of proper nourishment; {; f 00O,0O0 have defective eyes. and 1.O00.000 are more or less deaf.
 Teeth are the things which most parents are prone to neglect. It is estimated that over 50 per cent of the children in the public schools have at least one tooth which badly needs attention from q dentist.
 Don't think that nothing needs to be done for a tooth just because it causes the child no pain De cayed teeth are ideal breeding places for germs and make a child much more liable to all sorts of infectious diseases. If something is not done for them they may cripple his mouth for life or they may cause the glands of his neck to swell up and form abscesses. Then, too, the child with decayed or painful teeth cannot masticate his food properly, and so fails to get the noruishment his growing body demands.
 Before you deal too severely with your little sons and daughters be cause they are irritable or because they do poorly with their studies. be sure that it's not some defect in their physical condition that is to blaoe

, CHlLDREN'S PLAY OF MAKE

, (, . z, . . . o : (, . .

. = . = . . . . . e . . . children play is that of Make Be
 lieve." They make believe they
 are some grown-up woman, or some other little girl, they make believe they are mothers and their mothers
 are little girls, or they may repre- sent their teachers, and they hear
 classes and enforce discipline as much as possible as their teachers do. This game of Make Believe often carries them even further than
 the imitation of words and manners, for it has been known to extend to manner of living and broader lines of education, leading to higher ideals.
 A the children grow older they frequently continue to play the
 same game. but they do it with a wider vision, and they try to repre- sent one whose work or success makes the younger one ink it would be desirable to follow in the same path. The girl who is studying
 music may make believe that her piano is on a stage, and try to perform as nearly like some concert player she has heard as she can. The benefit comes when she recog- nizes the difference and determines to practice well that in time she
 may come nearer to her desire to play as the artist did. The one who is studying art makes believe that she is one of the great painters, and she studies harder than ever
 to reach the plane of success, and the one who has finished reading a new book often makes believe that she is either the heroine of the book or the writer of it.
 At recent breakfast given by a
 company of women writers to a
 writer of girls books the story was told by the guest of honor of an
 experience she had that morning
 A girl who knew she was a stranger
 in the city and was to be there but two days, called upon her at the
 hotel and explained that she was sent as a delegate from her club to see her. It seems that each of
 the girls in the club selected some
 writer whose work they admired, Believe" by trying to represent her Tn every way possible. The SlIl
 concluded her explanation by saying and l am you" She thought that
 if she could see her author she could
 make believe so much better She
 was invited to the writer's apart ments, and when she left she was the happy possessor of number ut photographs, and who can say that the conversation she had with her will not lead to a clearer vision
 of what success she can attain if she uot only make believe but lives as nobly as the woman she was endeavoring to represent. The writ CT. too, found food for though in the CT, too, found food for thought in the you. Christian Science Monitor
