Some of the seasons styles, but not
many of them. lend themselves to the
remodeling of gowns. Women who
are clever at this work have been
quick to grasp the possibilities of
those models in which two fabrics are
used for constructing the body of the
gown.
The difficulty lies nearly always in
widening the skirt. If one possesses
a last seasons gown very wide and
voluminous as to the hips and very
scant as to the hem, it is sometimes
possible to simply reverse it. That is,
the bottom of the skirt last year be-
comes the top this year. The fashion
of wearing yokes to which the lower
part of the skirt is set on helps out,
and the vogue for very short skirts is
also to be reckoned with in making
over things.
Other features in the present modes
that encourage remodeling are the use
of wide bands of silk about the bottom
of skirts as finish, and the introduc-
tion Of two or three bands in the body
of the skirt. The same silk may
supply new sleeves and a part of the
bodice. Wide, loose girdles of silk
that swathe the figure and obliterate
the waist line are good style and will
be for another season, at least.

"MAS0N AND DIxoN'S LINE"
Popular Mlsapprehension as to Mean
ing Of Term and Just What the
Phrase Implied.

Very incorrect is the general belief
that Mason and Dixon's line, as orig
inally laid off, divided the slave-hold-
ing states from the free states. On
the contrary, it ran for one-third OF
its whole length between Maryland
and Delaware, both of which were
slave-holding states at the time. The
line was run purely to settle a bound
airy dispute between Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware.
All the same, the actual Mason and
Dixons line was as much synonym
for trouble and dissension in its day
as was the figure of speech to which
in after years it gave rise. And the
phrase will hold bitter meaning to
some until Tin that looked-for day of
charity to all mem shall be fulfilled

DAISY FLY KILLER p,
Famous Feats Of Archery.


In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at a gallop, could send an ar
row through a buffalo's body. Re-
markable as this archery was, it did
not equal that reached by the archers
of ancient times. 1t is Of record that
the MacReas of Gairlock. Scotland,
were such skilled archers that they
could hit a man at the distance OF
500 yards. III 1894 the Turkish am
bassador at London shot ali arrow in
a field near that capital 4l5 yards
against the wind. The secretary OF
the ambassador on hearing the ex-
pressions Of surprise from the Eng
lish gentlemen present, said the Sui
tan had shot 500 yards. This was the
greatest performance of modern days,
but a pillar standing on plain near
Constantinople recorded shots rang
ing up to 500 yards. Sir Robert Aims

BRAKEMAN'S RESCUE

On Pilot Of Engine He Prepares

Read the Story.

Indianapolis.-L A. Campbell, a
brakeman on the Monon road, had an
exciting experience recently that al
most equals the stirring scenes in the
movies" Campbell, looking ahead
of the freight train on which he was
braking, saw an object that resem-
bled the form of a woman on the
track.
Hastily climbing to the pilot of the
engine, Campbell made ready to make
a heroic rescue of the person in dan
ger. He got firm grip and prepared
to grab the woman as the train
reached the spot.

nience, for beauty.
Except for ornamental stitching
nothing is used in the way of decora-
tion on the new shoes. No buckles or
bows could be used where the body of
the shoe furnishes all the variety In
composition needed. A certain trim
ness, too, in the designs compels the
absence OF decoration, also. 1t is
case of realizing the force of that
adage against painting the lily and
adorning the rose.
The high shoes pjctyrrd are COM
binations of patent leather and colored
cloth. They are shown with the front
and the side lace. Similar shoes for
midsummer made in a combination of
black and white leather will vie with
low shoes to be worn with white
dresses and with combinations of
black and white.
The vogue OF colored cloth and un.
usual colors In leather combined with
black for shoes promises to remain
with us for some time. Already those
who make the cloths used in footwear
are matching up the colors In dress
goods which manufacturers are max.
ing ready for fall.

Llqht More Beneficial Than Heat.

When rays of light fall upon the
skin Of our bodies, which is translu-
cent, the greater part of them are ar
rested, some by one layer of the skin,
some by another and still others are
not stopped until they have penetrated
the subcutaneOus tissues. This arrest
of the light rays produces radiant
heat, which has a higher penetrating
power than convection heat as gene
rated by a hot water bag or ponltice,
for instance.
E. c Titus in an address before the
Illuminating Engineering society said
that such heat penetrated two inches
or more, while convection heat was ex-
cited principally oil the surface.
This is why electric light baths and
sun baths are so stimulating to the Dr.
gans of elimination, especially the skin
and kidneys, and so beneficial in SO
many diseases.

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa.
It is true that nature and a woman's
work mas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia

and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

County Schools.
Written by Lester BriggIc, County
Superintendent for Emmons Coun-
ty, North Dakota

United States Commissioner of
Education, Hon. P. p. Claxton, in
a lecture to the county superin-
tendents of schools at Grand
Forks, November 4th, said: BE
ing educated is being on to your
job" His words were well cho-
sen for a body of North Dakota
educators for our school system
and our state institutions seek
for development along practical
lines. Our schools aim to fit our
boys and girls to live in North
Dakota. They deal with the
problems confronting our own
people. Our normal schools
train our teachers not only to
Systematically impart knowledge
in what is known as the common
branches but they give the teach
ers a broader view of the educa-
tional field.
North Dakota is essentially a
farming state. Therefore aeri-
culture has been made a required
branch in the grades and our
teachers are fitted for instructing
in the selection of seed corn, er-
radication of weeds and insects,
stock judging, care of poultry,
ETC., etc.
We teach our children patriot
ism, not only love of country,
but reverence for our great men,
admiration for our good men, re-
spect and honor for our states
men. We have them study and
learn selections from our poets,
Foley. Eult and Raze.
The improvements in the
schools Of Emmons county have
been rapid and satisfactory. We
have l50schools in the county, and
five consolidated village schools.
We have two high schools doing
four years work. The princi.
pals of these schools are capable
men and are being paid a liv.
ing wage.

Board, and Strenuous Advocate vi
MI Up-to.Dl,e High School.

Our High School is par excel
lence.
Our teachers are Normal grad
yates and full of Western vim.
In twelve years our school has
grown iIonn one room to six
rooms, and every room over
flowing.
The school employs nine teach
ers. OF these, three devote their
time cn ely to High School work,
five have charge of the grades
and one supervlses music in all
the grades.
In the grades the state course
of study is followed. Inthe High
School the following subjects are
to be had: Enelish---four years,
including Rhetoric, Composition,
and the study of Classics; Latin
two years, including grammar
and the reading of Caesars Com
mentaries; German---two years,
including grammar, translation,
and writing of idiomatic German;
Algebra, one and a half year,
Geometry, one and a half year;
History--General, English, Ad-
yanced U. S. History, and Civics;
Science--Physics, one year; Chem
istry, one year; Botany, year;
Zoology, one-half year; Physiog-
raphy, one year. The school pos
sesses excellent equipment for
the study of all these sciences.
The apparatus for study of Ply
sizes, Botany and Zoology is sec
ond to none.
Vocal Music is being taught
for the first time in several years.
The pupils are making good pro.
gress in it, and we hope to make
it a permanent part Of the school
work.
High School reviews are given
in the following: PenmanshiI
and Spelling, High School Arith
metic and History.
For those who intend to teach
a course in Psychology and Peda
gogy is given. Diplomas given
for completion of the High
School course entitle the holder
to a second grade teachers Ger
tificate without examination.
Our school is making great ad
vancement under the direction Of
Supt. O. |. Shefoe, and his eff
ficient corps of assistants.
