DRAMATIST GIVES SOME GOOD !.
ADVICE TO HIS SOLDIER SON

can't be fully done without deep
breath first. and then the '1et go.'
One can't relax from "half tension" as
1t were. Often we think we are re-
Taxed only to find, after hours of wait
ing when utter exhaustion SlumpS US,
that we have been in some respect
holding ourselves away from the bed.
A rehearsal in the theater is dire
thing for Tightening one up who is d.
recting it and unconsciously lifting
each character. After many years I've
come to recognize the condition in
time, and often in the dark auditorium,
when the actors or scrub women can't
see me, lie supine on the carpet in
an aisle or the foyer, and with arms
outstretched for a minute relax all
over. 1t isn't so simple as it sounds.
Even after the deep breath one has to
think down to the very finger tips and
toes, and by mental command dismiss
the accumulated tension. Then last
of all, the muscles of the face-to let
them fall with half-closed eyelids and
the lips slipping away from the teeth
as they do on dead men. It's quite as
tonishing what a refreshing indulgence
even a half minute of such relaxing is.
AS I've said, it's an art to do it, and
very useful when you get it.
Practiced by Japs.
The Japs are past masters at it.
They were taught it and practiced it
conscientiously in the Japo-Russian
war. After lying supine for minute,
each Jap soldier would be taken by
the head by a comrade, and firmly
pulled until the packed vertebrate Of
his SHINE were drawn apart and re-

sian laces are to be reckOned with for
them. Gold and yellow tones in eve
ming gowns and in dress hats indicate
that gold color has made more than
"a temporary success. 1t is recon-
mended for the silk slip to be worn
under a net frock. These slips, by the
way, are not always of silk, but of ma

In the white net dress shown in
the picture deep tucks and narrow ruff
fies take the place of lace or en-
broidery. Clever designing gives the
frock the most valuable of all inter-
eSts, it's creator depending on net
alone to turn out an attractive party
frock for the young girl. deep tucks
and narrow ruff1es alternate on the
plain skirt. The three-quarter length
sleeves are finished with three little
ruffies and panel at the front of the
bodice makes place for the same sort
of youthful decoration. The bodice
is extended into a peplum at the sides,
edged with ruffies and at each side
of the panel is finished with a border
of narrow ribbon. Hanging loops of
ribbon at the waist line provide a
setting for little silk roses posed at
the top of the loops. The ribbon is
chosen to match the underslip in color,
but the roses are usually in rose
colorS.
The day of the dainty and becom-
ing jabot is not over, but it has
passed its meridian. For there are
other things in neckwear that claim
more and more attention as the sum-
mer wanes; they emphasize our reluc-

combined in them, and very often two
colors are used together, as in the
white organdie collars and cuffs with
little ruffles of organdie and dots emf
broidered in blue silk, in one of the
sets shown in the picture. White ana
pink, white and rose, white and tan
are all favorites made up in this way.
The little ruffies have picot edges and
hemstitching contributes it's share to
the dainty finish of these new aspir
ants for favor.
White is not always part of the
play in organdie neckwear. Pale
shades of pink, blue, yellow, rose and
tan are used for collars and cuffs, as

1t is early in the season to predict
what the party frock for young girls
will be made of, but manufacturers
80 far have given the preference to
nets and chiffons. The girl who must
be QUILTED early for fall can make a
safe choice between these two always
beautiful mediums for translating the
designers ideas into evening clothes.
Eilet net as well as the fine round
mesh nets, has been introduced along
with new laces to help out the seasons

the nights are cold, keeping the sheep
without feed and water for long peri
DDS before and after dipping, and the
use of dogs in the corral, are some OF
the common mistakes sheepmen make.
Dipping Lambs.
In dipping young lambs, it is well
to separate them from the sheep, in
order to minimize the danger of their
being drowned in the watts. This is
especially true of very young lambs.
If, however, the lambs are handled
separately, it is perfectly safe to dip
any more than month old. They will
recover readily from the shock and
will grow and thrive much more rapid

ENTIRE, BLOUSES OF LACE
In Some of the Most Attractive the
Patterns Are Worked in a
Lustrous Silk Thread.

Blouses made of real laces-filet,
Irish and the fine Bohemian lace are
being shown. The filet blouses are
particularly attractive, being made of
soft, coarse lace in which the patterns
are worked in a lustrous silk thread.
One blouse which is made entirely
of this lace, is cut with square collar
which is embroidered in heavy white
silk. 1t is finished by row of GRO
cheted buttons set very closely togeth-
er down the front.
In another blouse the same sort of
lace is combined with white net which
forms a deep shoulder yoke and the

If bees have plenty Of sealed honey
in their hives it is not necessary to

These searchers, now an Important

The hospitals are the principal scene
of the searchers' work. With book
containing the names of men missing
for many months they make the
rounds, following up clues and sug-
gestions that may lead to the clearing
up of the individual mysteries. The
work requires tact and intelligence,
and. above all. patience.

Tax Commissioners in City.

Messrs. C. M. Zanders and
Rudolph Kuchler, members of
the state tax commission, were
in the city last Monday for a few
hours consulting with the city
assessor, and incidentally visit
ing numerous friends and renew
ing acquaintance. They were
on their way home from a trip to
Apache county, where they had
been for several days appraising
the cattle and sheep. The COM
missioners bring the cheering
intelligence that the state tax
rate will be considerably higher
this year, probably about 60 cents
on the 500 dollars valuation,
which is accounted for by the
large number of permanent i'm
provements to be constructed by
the state, and the increased ap-
preparation for schools under the
new law.

RUSSIAN IKoNs NOT IMAGES
Pieces Are Pictures of the Savior, The
Virgin Mary and the Saints, Used
for Devotional Purposes.

Many references have been made by
writers on Russia to the ikons which
are found in such profusion In all
parts of the country, and which are a
distinguishing feature of Russian ma
tional life. notes correspondent.
These ikons are used for devotional
purposes, and are not images as some
suppose, but pictures of the Savior,
the Virgin Mary and the Saints. In
these pictures nll but the faces and
hands are covered with metal-gold or
silver or gilt--and the gorgeous or
fermentation of the setting fixes the
price of the ikon.
Ikons are generally painted by pos
tulants for the religious life, who use
as their guide twelfth century manu-
script written by Dionysius, the fa'
nous prior of Mount Athos. Black
Virgin lkons are not uncommon. while

radpoIes and Frogs.

In general terms the tadpole is a
vegetarian, while the frog lives on ami
NAL food. The tadpole in the pool or
pond feeds chiefly upon the algae. But
the tadpole will also eat decaylng in
sects, earthworms, fruit and almost
any kind OF meat.
II is n curious fact, says Boys Life,
that when the tadpole transforms into

prosperous may escape the annoyance
of over-many coppers by buying such
quantities they can make payments 10
multipIes of nlckels and dimes, but
even that resource may fail them. The
public will soon look asSauce upon the
citizen who buys more than enough
