FLAMING0 RED Is RETAINED
Suits OF Pongee in This Hue, With
White Chiffon BIouses, Are Worn
for Afternoon.

The buyers who have returned from
Paris with wholesale assortments OF
early autumn models say that the
house of Cabot is clinging TO the color
known as fiammant and the fabric
known as pOngee.
We have not had as much Of this
flamingo red, which is the English for
flammant, as one would expect, consid.
ering that its sponsors were the three
CallOt sisters. Possibly the autumn
will bring it out In definite way, says
n writer on fashions.

weave of pongee which is not worn by
the coolies. but by the people of caste
in China has been thrown into the
French market as one of it's dominant
fabrics. Suits Of ii in flamingo red
are worn in the afternoon with white
chiffon blouses and great black or
white satin hats. The addition of the

In this country we wear natural pom
gee more than the dyed kind. 1t is not

therefore, ii must be kept away from
the neck and chin by collar and

The new suits that are made OF ii
are extraordinarily good, because our
close touch with the Orient In the way
of commerce has brought TO us the
kind of Dongee that is turned into adj
mirable tailored lines and has not the
deep, ugly coloring Of the cheap pom
gee which once prevailed.

SUIT COATS TO BE LONGER
Extend to Point Slightly Above Knee
or Even Below It-Skirts Are Of
Very Simple Type.

Besides the strictly tailored suits.
there is a fair proportion of the more
dressy ones, though some OF the latter
are intended mainly for window dis
plays and for openings. says the Dry
Goods Economist.
The coats of the tailored suits are
mostly long. extending TO point
slightly above the knee or somewhat
below il. Some have the portion above
the waist made on fitted lines with the
lower portion showing q slight full
ness. but still preserving the straight
line silhouette.

Strictly Tailored Suit to Be Staple
Fall Model.
Coat Will BE About Thirty-Six inches
in Length and the Skirt About
Two Yards Wide.

Here is mOdish little early fall
''tailleur," made of mems wear blue
serge, with collar of black velvet and
braid and button trimming. This suit
might also be attractively developed in
Oxford gray suiting, with black braid
and button trimming.
There is much speculation as 70 the
suit that will be preferred this fall and
winter. 1t seems safe 10 predict that
strictly tailored models featuring a
coat approximately SO inches in length
and with skirts about two yards wide
Will be regarded as staples. This kind
of suit is always smart, easily kept in
shape and gives service that can never
be hoped for from one of the dressy
models.
In addition 70 this argument, the
government has indicated TO manufac-
turers that they will do we'll TO use
fabrics Sparingly, and the ultra-long
suit coats recommended when fall
fashion notes were first given to the
public will hardly have a general
vogue
The suit here shown is youthful
model, buttoning smartly in double
breasted fashion, and with both coat
and skirt equipped with pockets.
The question of how strongly fall
suits will continue to show the military
influence is still unsettled. Some of
the very early models show the mill
tary influence in the use of khaki-col-
ored w0rsted. and in many military
pockets, epaulet shoulder arrange
ments, etc, but it is not likely that
suits for late fall and winter wear will
be very strongly influenced by the pres
ent vogue.
The Russian blouse type of suit and
a modified directoire are both shown in
fall and winter models; but the strict

FOOD AND EFFECT ON
tuberculosis
BY DR.. Samuel G. Dixon,
Commissioner of Health OF Pennsyi-
vania.


While tuberculosis Is caused by Il
well-known germ. we often have IL
right to be suspicious of its coming
from want of proper nourishment.
This would seem to be a forerunner
of the true disease of tuberculosis.
This want of nourlshment Is TO be
accounted for in several ways The d.
gestive system may be naturally weak
that Is. born weak; il may have been
strong in early life but abused by the
use of alcohol, eating rapidly when
physically or mentally tired, or by
gulping food without proper chewing
or masticstion.
A plunge bath just after eating will
often arrest digestion. The drinking
of ice water during a meal, or iced tea
or coffee. will reduce the temperature
of the stomach so that the natural
process of digestion is interfered with.
As n result the food IS not properly
prepared for the organs to absorb It..
Therefore Ii is not taken up by the
blood stream as II travels through the
system of arteries 10 build up the diff
ferent Tissues of the body
The increase OF tuberculosis of late
in Belgium. in France, and other war
ring countries Is largely due to the
want of the things that nature de
mands for building up healthy bodies.
We must have some nitrogen in the
form of meat or eggs or beans. We
must have some fats. And we must
have some starcheS. Otherwise the
body will be partly starved and dis
ease germs will thrive in the different
tissues. This occurs more often i'm the
lungs than anywhere else. hut there

1t Is 10 be hoped that here In Amer

climates and of soil. we shall be able
Ia keep mp n general food supply and
shall not be restricted IN any of those
things which nature requires They

those things that are essential for our

One great drawback i'm fighting the
battle against tuberculosis * that II
Is not recognized early enough for us

milton Of tuberculosis requires n spe-
cial medical training We have tuber-

Last year a farmer in an adjoining
county to Smith planted four acres OF
poor sandy land In Spanish COOLERS
thick in the drill. He said he knew
he could not grow ten bushels Of corn
or half bale Of cotton on this piece
of land, and having been told land
never gets too poor to grow COOLERS,
he decided to put the field to the test.
Last fall he threshed out 200 bushels

land to fatten three hogs; besides, he
put up enough hay to feed his stock
