beautiful fancy surface which stand
hard wear and will wash. They are
warm, and if this negligee were made
of copenhagen blue, with an en-

colored lace on the blouse, it would
be lovely.
Another attractive material would

The bodices are rather snug fitted and
The trimming consists of soutache
braiding, hand embroidery, crocheted
buttons, bias banding or applique.
The skirts are sensibly short, but
never above shoetop length. The full

best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the

When PURCHASING a Suit.

Don't buy a suit that is bit too
small, for the present style coat, with
it's fiaring hem, looks especially bad III
a size too small.
Don't, if you are over five feet six,
get up and down stripes

low. Some Of the tan shades are
again in fashion, and they are pitfal)
for the unwary sallow woman.
Don't buy suit trimmed with a

stantly, for nothing looks worse than
soiled trimming.
Don't, if the family Bible has you
down for over forty-you needn't ad

woman tells you it's girlish. Don't be
tlapper at forty.
Don't, if you are under five feet
three, get roundabout trimming
Don't get a jacket that has sleeves
too short or too long, for misfit
sleeves spoil what may otherwise be a
very attractive jacket

station of Leipzig was recently com
pleted at cost of $32, 10000. 1t is
believed that it will take the first

The material used for the front of the
building is a yellow-colored, hard sand
stone from the quarries of Schona on
the Elbe. The rear and the walls of
the big entrance halls, are built OF
sandstone of the Gotta quarries.

Diseases of AutoiSts.

When the bicycle was in the lime
fight, and the daily papers would pub
lish most anything connected with the
subject that came t0 them, the doc
tors began to discover, or rather in,
vent, many new and fearsome diseases
that they claimed to result from riding
the wheel. The doctors got their
names into the papers. but the dis
eases never materialized Now, some
enterprising member of the medical
fraternity has discovered a peculiar
knee trouble that he claims to result
from continued use of the clutch and
brake pedals. 1t will probably join

ach
Girls and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid complex
ions, also those who wake UP with
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath,
others who are bothered with head
aches, bilious spells, acid stomach or
constipation should begin this phos-
plated hot water drinking and are as
sured Of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifes and freshens the skin
on the outside, SO hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the inside or
gans. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more inn
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.
Women who desire to enhance the
beauty of their complexion should just
try this for week and notice results.

Peanut butter is enjoyed (when not

Brown bread spread with butter and
well seasoned cottage cheese in which
bit of onion juice is placed for sea
