Today is the one hundred seventh anniversary of the birthday of Alb raham Lincoln, who was born in Hardin County, Kentucky, February 12, 1909, and in 1861 became the sixteenth President of the United States.
 Every American is familiar with the life of the Great Emancipator; yet every year at his anniversary, She people love to remember him as the most beloved American that the country ever produced. He was in a class by himself, and it is safe to say that this generation will never meet his equal.
 From his biography We reproduce the following that has always been found refreshing as it shows the heart of the man that the country loves so well.

The unac- countable delay, the infrequency of his letters and his failure to give a reasonable explanation for his postponements finally lessened her attachment and made frightful in- roads upon her health. She only waited to see him in order to ask a release from her engagement, and to let him know that she preferred another and more urgent suitor, whose name was Abraham Lincoln. During three years young Lincoln visited Miss Rutledge two or three times a week, first as friend in quest of congenial company, and finally as a suitor for her hand. She was great favorite in the

LINCOLN'S YEAR OF INSANITY

In 1882, at the age of 23, Abra- ham Lincoln was the owner of a farm seven miles north of New Sa- lem, and half owner of the largest store in the place. At this time he met Miss Ann Rutledge. Two well-to-do gentlemen of the place Hill and McNeil-were courting her with devoted assiduity; she decided in favor of the latter. He parted with her early in 1882 to visit his father in New York, promising to return at given day and make her his own. She watched him ride away on Old Charley an an tiquated animal that had seen hard usage in the Black Hawk war, and that logged slowly along the bad roads to New York.

OED AND NEW WAY
TO TREAT CATARRH
Breathing Germ Killing Air Endors-
ed by Actual Results

The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought wonderful change in the
treatment of catarrh
Prior to three years ago the med
icines ordinarily employed in the cure
OF this disease were drugs, sprays, To-
tiens, etc. In some instances they
benefited, but the improvement was
nlt lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages that goes into the minutest
cells, and should effectually kill all
germs and microbes of catarrh. It's
purpose is to enter the blood with
the oxygen, killing the germs in the
blood, and restore health to the whole
system. Many astonishing testimon-
ials have been received from those
VINO have been helped by Hyomei.
A complete outfit is inexpensive and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suf-
feient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters, is the fact
that R. Hodgins has so much faith
in Hyomei that he sells every package
under a positive guarantee to refund
the money if it does not relieve. 96-2

LAYING PLANS
FOR ROAD MEET
COUNTY BOARD AND UNIVERSITY
UNITE IN PLAN FOR GOOD
ROADS SCHOOL
Neufd Hold Two Days Session for
Road Overseers and Others-GOy-
eminent Expert Invited to Attend

Members of the county board are
working in harmony with the Uni
veTsity of Idaho in plan to hold a
two days Good Roads school for road
oyerseers and others who are inter
ested, the dates to be fixed some time
between February 7th and March 18th.
1t is planned to have an expert road
engineer in attendance from the gov
eminent headquarters at Washington.
Dean G. N. Little of the engineering
SoRege, yesterday was in conference
with the commissioners relative to the
meeting. 1t is planned to hold ses-
sions to which all interested are invit-
ed. 1t is expected that number of
papers will be read on road construc-
ton in addition to practical demon
STATIONS. In connection with the plan
Dean little has sent the following tele-
gram to L. w. Page, director of the
office of public roads at Washington,
D. c.:
Can you cooperate with civil en-
cheering department, University of
Idaho in two days Good Roads school
for road overseers? Latah county
commissioners will strongly urge at
tendance by overseers and feel con-
fident that large proportion will at
tend. They are precluded by law,
however, from paying overseers for
time spent in attendance as was done
two and three years ago. Four lee
lures from experienced engineers are
desired. Date should be between
February and March T."

/ ing qualities. The very short sleeves
are trimmed with insertion and lace.
| This is graceful garment and the
model might be copied in hand-cro-
cheted laces and hand embroidery for
very elegant gown. In this case the
monogram, or initial, would take the
place of one of the embroidered flow
er sprays, and fine grade of organdie
or handkerchief linen could be substi-
tuted for the Swiss embroidery Also
the flower sprays could be varied and
two or three different designs used.
Handcrocheted yokes and narrow
edgings are not to be overlooked by
those ambitious to own handmade I'M
dermuslins. Their wearing qualities
and shapeliness commend them. In
selecting the yard goods to go with
them, durability is to be borne in
mind, and it is to be found in the
sheerer fabrics when they are well
woven

The simply constructed and grace
full gown pictured above makes no
pretention to novelty, excepting little
details of its finishing. 1t is a digni-
fled and generally becoming design,
without too strong flavor of the pres
yent styles to outlive them A gown
so conservative in structure is good
model to select for copying in a dress
which is to outlast a single season
and prove useful in time to come.
) The model as shown is suited to
the stout or short figure 1t should
be made somewhat fuller for tall
woman, and the length broken by ad-
ditional landings. Very successful
dresses like it are made of crepe or
any Of the supple satins, with several
narrow bands Of fur at intervals be-
tween the hem and knees, Chiffon
cloth has been used in the same way.
Fur landings are not as becoming to
the stout figure as flat landings of
velvet, and the latter must be used
carefully.
The plain blouse corresponds with
the skirt in simplicity OF design, and

Lingerie that is factory made is as
good as that which is homemade sc
far as beauty of design is concerned
It's makers must design it with refer
ence to the possibilities and the limi
tations of machinery. But the variety
and the quality of hand sewing cannot
be equaled by machinery. 1t is pos
.sible to initiate much handwork very
closely, but not all of it, and the va
'riety of design possible in garments
to be made at home would not be
profitable in those made in factory.
The need}ewoman, on the other hand,
may copy any of the factory designs
and improve on them.
Two attractive new nightdresses are
shown here for the consideration Of
those who make their undermuslins
at this season of the year. One of
them is, entirely handmade, except for
the seams, which are felled on the
machine. 1t is cut from linen in the
36-inch width, of a single length, equal
to twice that Of the figure. This is
folded over at the center and stamped
for the embroidery at the neck and
sleeves. The bottom is finished with
a double scallop and the sleeves are
slashed on the upper arm with all
edges finished with embroidered seal
Iops.
Small sprays in flower pattern are
embroidered at each side of the slash
in the sleeves and at the front Of the
neck. Eyelets are worked about the
neck opening for carrying narrow
wash ribbon. This pattern is also
made in fine cotton batiste with a
smaller sized scallop used for edging |
and finer flower sprays for decoration.
The machine-made gown is of nain-
sock fulled to beading with edging |
of lace and having inserts of Swiss |
embroidery. Either narrow val or |
cluny lace is used for this work, the |
latter having the preference for wear

Cuff Trimming.

Cuff trimming on woman's skirts ia
a fashion feature obviously borrowed
from masculine styles. Mans trousers
have exploited cuffs for many years,
but skirts have only recently adopted
the punishment. Premet introduced
the cutfed skirt in tailored costumes
The cuff turns up across the back only
from side seam to side seam, and is
wider at it's center than at the seams
where it starts. Other skirts have
cuffs all around, the edge of the skirt
swinging clear of the buttoned street
boot. The idea is not a bad one in
consideration of possible longer skirts
coming. 1t will be an easy matter to
let down the cuff and attach facing
underneath.

is joined to it in one-piece garment
High, round buttons, covered with the
fabric, provide it's decoration and re-
appear down the front of the skirt
The shoulders are long, and the
sleeves rather closefitting and finished
with a plain turn-back cuff
A faint echo of military styles is
discovered in the narrow belt of white
suede leather with ribbon set on at
each side in cartridge-belt fashion. 1t
fastens with dark buckle at the
right side.
A moderately wide, straight band fin
ishes the neck, affording support for
any one of the numerous new collars
and neckpieces by means of which the
wearer may show her regard for fash
IONS last word. One of the several
advantages of simply made frock
lies in the fact that one may wear
accessories of so many different kinds
with 1t.
