Handkerchief, Convicted of
Spreading Disease, Must Go,
New Edict of Medical World

DR.. r. Robbins of New York urges
In the Medical Record the abolition of
the pocket handkerchief, because it is
source of infection long after per-
son has recovered from such diseases
as infantile paralysis and even common
"colds."
"The day will come" he says, when
the customary cotton rag is replaced
by the cheap and clean japanese paper
napkin which is burned after ii has
been used. Infants and children are
helpless against the rubbing of strange
handkerchiefs over their perspiring and
grlmy faces. The public roller towel
of the past was innocuous as compared
to the family pocket handkerchief. Bit
ter experience will drive home the les
son that neglected noses, mouths and
throats are largely If not exclusively
responsible for the ultimate Gripping
of the unfortunate victims of diseas.

CA[OMEL MAKES
YOU SICK, UGH!
"Dodson's Liver Tone" better
than calomel and can not
salivate.

Calomel loses you a day. You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t crashes
into sour bile like dynamite, cramping
and siekening you. Calsmel attacks the
bones and should never be put into your
system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and believe
you need dose of dangerous calomel
just remember that your druggist sells
for so cents large bottle of Dodson Is
Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable
and pleasant to take and is a perfect
substitute for calomel. 1t is guaranteed
to start your liver without stirring you
up inside, and can not salivate.
Dom take calomeli 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you day 8
work. Dodson' g Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. Give
it to the children because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn't gripe.-Adv.

Hand Painted Bodice Latest.

Hand-painted undergarments are
making bid for favor in the lineup
of fall apparel
Hand painting has appeared so far
only on bodices of geOrgette crepe
designed for wear under dainty trans
parent evening gowns, but one of the
prettiest novelties imaginable is thus
developed. The daintiest of floral pat
erns is properly selected, and the
painting must be done with an ex-
quisite fineness of touch to produce
the desired result.
An underbodice may be decorated
with hand painting over its entire
surface, or mere border about the
neck may be chosen in preference.
Stenciled designs are also approved
as decoration for next season eve,
ming underbodices and here, as in the
case of the hand-painted garments,
very dainty floral patterns should be
selected. Georgette crepe Is the prime
choice of fabrics to be so adorned.

Easily Made Petticoat.

An evening petticoat which is dainty
enough for all occasions and yet is not
so very impractical is made of soft
wash satin in flesh color. 1t is gored
slightly to give less bulk at the waist
line, but made, otherwise, perfectly
plain. From the hip down bands of
ecru net are hemstitched at intervals
of two inches. Through these satin
ribbon of delicate blue is run and tied
with bow at the side of the skirt
each row being tied in a slightly dag
onal line over the other. The ribbons
can be removed before Tubing the
skirt, and, if provided with snap fas-
teners instead of being tied each time
they are put back in the net castings,
they will keep fresh some time.

England's First Scientist.

The first great English scientist was
Roger Bacon, who died 621 years ago
The exact date of his birth is un.
known, but it is believed that this year
marks the tooth anniversary. He was
prosecuted and condemned and much
of his work destroyed, so that the ex-
tent of his discoveries cannot be def
initely known. 1t is certain that he
was centuries ahead of his ignorant
and credulous times in chemistry
mathematics and mechanics. Branded
as magician, he was thrown into
prison. From 1877 until short time
before his death Bacon was immured
In a filthy cell. He is said to have in
vented the camera obscura.
