The medieval in dress dies hard. The Napoleonic influence in apparel never really loses its grip. It may be said by the historian of dress that one of these two phases of feminine costumery is the basis of every fashion that comes and goes.
 The, professional humorists, when they grow satirical over their work, say that there arc only three basic jests in the world; they are the century old pyramids which are used as the foundation for all prankishness.
 The buyers who deal with the conn merce of fashions more than with their artistic sources, and who give the credit to the Council of Ten in Paris rather than to the ages that have melted into history, are apt to subdvide clothes in to what Worth, Paquin, Cheruit and Poiret do or have done
 If the designers are interviewed as to the source of their inspired costumery, trey merely point to old engravings. to designs on parchments, to historic cos tunes in the Cluny museum or to the phases of history which they dug up ant revived in fabric.
 It is true that Cheruit Is a seven teenth-century follower that Worth has never relinquished the ceremonial aspect of the English court, and that Paquin is a mother-of-pearl designer employing whatever is graceful in mauve and gray, but on the other side lending herself strongly to the influence of the new in

 MEDIEVAL vS NAPOLEONIC.
 The world of clothes has just experi- enced a mad revival in medievalism Women of every weight age and curve have adopted the gowns of Queen Guine- we're and Melisond.
 Such garments have been cut by the hundred in block, and they have beer worn in all the marketplaces of the civilized world for two years. The splen- did, sweeping robes in which Guinvere met Launcelot have served, when modi- fled, to carry Mary Jane to the depart ment store to buy bargain shirtwaists.
 The swinging sleeves, the loose, Jeweled rope grdle and the straight widths of deeply colored velvet worn by Juliet when she went to the somber tombs of the dead have been worn by blue-eyed Miss Flap per- rapturously applauding The Midnight Follies.

Most persons nowadays who go camping take with them a complete flrst-aid kit and various remedies that they may use in case of illness be- fore doctors services can be pro cured But many of these frst-aid kits do not contain a most useful remedy in case of toothache, and that Is oil of cloves.

DANGER SIGNAL.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the
same way with a cough. A cough
is a danger signal as much as fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop "a fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure
the disease that causes the coughing.
This can nearly always be done by
taking Chamberlain Cough Remedy
Many have used it with the most
beneficial results. 1t is especially
valuable for persistent coughs that
so often follows a bad cold or an at
tack Of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband
takes cold easily and coughs and

edy is the best medicine for beraking
up these attacks and you cannot
