a GREAT DEMONSTRATION.

Tho power OF advertising was noy-
or better illustrated than through an
error that occurred IN the Argus last
week
In the advertisement OF Wilson
Bros. a cypher was left out and made
tie ad read:
Buy $500 worth OF anythins eN-
cept sugar and we will sell you 100
lbs OF pure Cane Sugar for $6.25,"
8 The paragraph above made pro-
position to anyone buying So worth
Of groceries and naturally when one
read the offer going with So worth
pf anything but sugar, they knew ii
WAS a mistake and should read
Buy $4,000 worth of anything ex-
cert sugar and we will sell you 100
lbs. pure Cane Sugar for $G.25."
But IL was too good joke on viii
son Bros, and the Argus readers kept
their phones busy asking about that
50 offer, Some even sent in their
checks, without waiting to inquire,
and altogether they made life miser-
able for the Wilson Bros But they
kindly told their customers that the
printer had made the mistake aud so
escaped censure,
The feature that pleased the Argus
was the large number who read the
advertisement and then called Wilson
Bros. attention TO the fact that they
had read IL. We know that orr
readers read the advertisements and

ANAEMIC PEOPLE
Need More Iron in the Blood

If you are anaemic, you need more
iron in your blood, and the tell-tale
symptoms are a pale face.-colorless
lips, ashen finger nails, poor circula-
ton and short breath and more seri-
Gus diseases are easily contracted
when in this condition.
Mr.. w. II. Hodges, of Kansas City,
Mo. says: Il suffered from the eff.
fects OF bad blood was rundown,
dizzy. had headaches and did not
feel like working. | had tried Beef,
Iron and Wine without any help.
After taking Vinol four days ! no.
ticed an Improvement and its con
tinued use built up my blood and my
bad feelings disappeared like magic"
The bad effects of poor, devitalized
blood cannot be oyerestimated, and
it is the peptonate of iron and the
true cod liver extracts contained in
Vinol, together with beef peptone,
that enriches the blood, improves the
circulation and in this natural manner
builds up health and strength, Try
it on our guarantee.

TO BEAUTIFY FINGER TIPS
Care of the Nails Will Do Much
Proper Trimming Is an Essential
Of First Importance.

If your finger tips are pudgy, don't
Olame it On nature, for it is only the
result Of cutting the nails away too far
at the corners. The nails on the fin
gers serve as a brace and support for
the flesh. A great many cut their
nails away in at each corner and run
them out to a point, believing that 1t
assists greatly in giving a tapering ef-
feet to the fingers.
It does not, however, have this ef-
feet. Quite the contrary, 1t takes away
the support from the flesh, whereupon
the flesh proceeds to spread out wider
and wider the mor the nail Is trim
med away, until 1t is almost impossible
to get it back in shape again.
In trimming your nails, let the sides
Of the nail alone and shape only the
top. Never use the scissors IL O can
help 1t, and IL you do, be sure to give
the nails q final finish with the file.
Remember that vaseline will not only
keep the nails from becoming brittle,
but will also improve the texture m
hip to make them shaoely.

Of the bodice has a deep round yoke,
coming below the shoulders, of white
voile, and the back of the skirt is ex-
actly like the front, paneled in white
and printed voile. The dress fastens
In the center front.
To make this gown, three yards of
plain fabric SO inches wide and seven
and a half yards of figured material
The. same width will be required. The
bottom skirt measures four yards
wide. A bright ribbon is used for the
girdle.
The generous use of ribbon as q
trimming or finishing touch on sum-
mer frocks is a notable feature, and it
strengthens the quaint and picture
esque tendency of the seasons ap-
parel.
Ribbons will be used rather freely
on the next seasons evening frocks.

Hardness of the Wood.

Like the use of a great many of the

of mahogany as ballast, decided to

them fell through.
Some time later Mrs. Gibbons want.

sent the mahogany to a cabinetmaker.
In his turn the. cabinetmaker objected
to the hardness of the wood, but the
doctor persisted so much in his re.
quest that the order was finally exc

The finished box polished so nicely
that the doctor ordered a bureau made

Good Name Better Than What?

His first suit of bought clothes"
was gray. He was only six, but he
was Unfortunately proud Of his new gray
suit. He could scarcely wait for Sun
day to come S o he could wear it. And
when the day did finally arrive, he
begged to be permitted to stay after
Sunday school for the church service,
and he asked to sit by his father, as
any other young man would do. But
before permission was given he had
to promise to listen to what the min
lister said instead of thinking Of his
new suit.
The text which the preacher used
was, "a good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches"
When the lad reached home he was
asked what the preacher talked
about. He promptly replied:
"a good name is better than gray
breeches."

The Scotch have not alone helped

M|D.SEAS0N DRESS
DESIGN SUITABLE FOR SUMMER
OR EARLY FALL.
Possibility Of Economy in Expendl'
ture Of Money Now in View Of the
Advantageous Situation the
Market Affords.

Bargains IN summer fabrics are so
plentiful just now that many women
do not consider it extravaganza to add
a new frock or two to her summer
dresses, eve though mere desire, not
a need, inspires the purchase. The
home dressmaker never had greater
encouragement to try out her own
ideas in style design than during the
present season, because such infinite
variety obtains in cut and color or
fabric combination that it is difficult
for anyone with the slightest knack
at sewing or with artistic ideas to
60 very far wrong.
Printed and plain white wolfe r
suggested as suitable for the little
frock shown in the sketch, although
plain and dotted handkerchief linen,
checked Bingham and plain color
chambray, etc., might be used as ef-
fectively.
The double tunic is suggestive of a
style line that is to be given consider
able prominence in the first showing

advance models carry out an illusion
of brevity in length and breadth of
skirts, while they are in reality longer
and narrower than those generally ia
vOred at present, and the long tunic
aids very materially in this illusion,
the underskirt being reasonably close
reefed and modestly long, while the
upper skirt or tunic is given a decided
flare. The hosiery display Of the past
season or two will not be looked on
with favor in the fall, as practically
all frocks brush lower than the shoe
tops.
The little frock in the sketch is, how
ever, distinctly a summer model, and
