from the brim edge to the middle of
the crown at the top. In either case
the smaller leaves are on the crown.
The leaves are all given a high polish
by means of shellac, when the turban
is finished, and often the roses used
for trimming are treated in the same
way.
At the left of the picture one of the
ribbon-covered shapes is shown, hav-
ing braid facing. One side of the
hat is covered with satin. Two small
apples and three twigs are set ut the
back, and these testify by their var
nished surfaces to the liking for shiny
millinery.
The handsome little turban at the
right is made of braid and trimmed
with a broad ribbon in fine quality,
varied with MORE stripes. The rib

At the back are three small braid or
naments.
In the matter Of height there are
indications that the season looks with
favor upon extremes. In foliage hats
sprays of roses are mounted on top of
crowns, and on braid hats bows and
ruffies of ribbon soar The models
shown here are very moderate in this
respect.

CHURCH HAS BOY ORGANISE
centraIla Claims To Have the Young
est Musician in the State
Only 10 Years Old.

Centralia claims TO have the young
est church organist in the state, and
probably the only boy organist Ed
ward Everett is only 13 years old, and
when, in his knee pants suit. he walks
up into the choir gallery Sunday morn
ings, strangers might think he was
going to pump the church organ or
maybe sing in children's chorus, but
would never suspect he was the
church organist TO ra real grown-up
choir including music supervisors and
teachers.
And when he gets on the bench be-
hind the organ you cannot see even
the top of his head, so the music gives
the impression of coming from the or
gan without any assistance. When the
services are over and Edward walks
out strangers are astonished. He
shirks none of the regular program of
the services, but plays voluntaries and
anthems as well as the hymns, and
chooses difficult, high class music.
1t is hard to keep girl organist in
small town. In the past few months
one young lady has gone away to col
lege, another went to the city and a
third married and went to another
town to live. Edward is safe from the
marrying game and from college or
the city to work for some years, so The
possibility of losing the organist from
these causes is removed. How it will
be when the baseball season opens up
and Edward prefers practice on the
baseball diamond rather than cloir
practice remains to be seen, for Ed
ward is no sissy boy. He's real live
boy, and could hardly sit still during
a church service until his energies
were harnessed by putting him behind
the organ.

Tomorrow morning, Immediately up

neutralize and then wash out of your
stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet
of intestines all the indigestible waste,
poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate from your druggist or
at the store and begin enjoying this
morning inside-bath. 1t is said that
men and women who try this become
enthusiastic and keep 1t up daily. 1t

more important to keep clean and pure

cause the skin pores do not absorb i'm
purities into the blood, causing dis

not new, as millions of people practice
1t. Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, SO hot
water and teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,

THE WISE DONKEY.

There was once farmer who had a
donkey, and. like most people who own
donkeys, his master did not have a
great deal OF respect for his wisdom.
One day the donkey showed him that
he knew a great deal more than he
was given credit for. At any rate, after
this occasion the farmer thought him
far wiser than whole forest full Of
owls, who have ever been regarded as
the wlsest OF feathered folk. But to
begin at the beginning:
The hero OF this tale--the donkey
was very hungry. His master, think.
ing him only donkey. thought he did

The donkey was very tired OF thistles.
and his stomach felt like the cold
scratch" because Of them. He gave n
loud bray and before he got TO the end
OF it-not farther than b-b-r. In fact
he saw the gate into the orchard was
OPEN The donkey had always longed
TO go into this forbidden place. but the
gate had been kept securely locked.
His master could not lock the smell
OF the apples and pears from reaching
the donkey's nose. though, and this
smell made the donkey long more and
more after the good things which grew
there.
The donkey could scarcely believe bis
eyes or nose either. but the second
glance showed him that his eyes had
not deceived him. The gate was open;
consequently the donkey was invited
into the orchard. Once inside, he lost
no time In sampling the fruit OF a fine
apple tree. You know how fond your
pet pony IL Of n nice juicy apple. Well.
you can imagine how a donkey who
had been raised on thistles would re
gard a tree full OF them. He ate and
ate until no pig would have recognized
him. Branch after branch came OF the
tree In MIR. Donkey's attempt 10 get the
delicious apples. All went well until
his master returned. When he saw
what the donkey had done, poor don
key got the worst whipping that he had
ever received In his life. The master
almost cried. for his tree was ruined.
and the apples were the finest ones he
owned.
The year following. what was his
surprise 10 see that the tree he had
looked upon as ruined bore double as
many apples as any other tree In the
orchard. Besides this. the apples were
finer and larger than any he had ever
grown. lie was ashamed Of the way
he had treated the donkey for his part
In the scheme. He gathered q large
basket OF the apples and himself car
ried It TO the poor donkey. Ever after
this the farmer pruned all the trees In
the orchard. and from 80 stupid an All
