BAD HABITS

Those who breakfast at eight o'clock
or later, lunch at twelve and have
dinner at six are almost certain to be
troubled with indigestion. They do
not allow time for one meal to digest
before taking another. Not less than
five hours should elapse between
meals. If you are troubled with in
digestion correct your habits and take
Chamberlain's Tablets, and you may
reasonably hope for quick recovery.
These tablets strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform its functions
naturally. Obtainable everywhere by
all dealers. lady.

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form Of snuffs and vapers do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

Lines.
Colored ribbon on white crepe
and lace waists, is another new
trimming which has appeared of
late. Ribbons with two or more
colors give very dainty effects
on these waists.
M5dsedsOn Hats.
Now that the midseason is here,
hats of velvet are giving place to
those of satin and silk. Figured
silks are used for some smart,
colorful hats, while crepe is
another material favored by the
milliners. Combinations of straw
and satin are likely to be very
popular also. Black straw form
ed the tiny brim and the lower
part of a very high crown of a
chic hat. The top of the crown
and the upper part was of blue
satin. Medium size brims On
rather dropping lines are also
noted. A hat of crepe was TRIM
med with three rows Of pleated
ribbon at the top of the crown
with beaded ornament in front.
The veil is still the faithful
companion of the hat. Embr id
cred wells are even more popu-
lar than the plain ones, and the
flowing wells more favored than
other styles. Some of the flow
ing wells are worn very short.

Hot Corn Salad

Take a can Of corn and stew it in a
little milk, adding butter, pepper, salt
and a dessert spoonful of sugar by
way of seasoning. Add a half cupful
of faxed boiled goldfish and two
chopped Spanish peppers. When hot,
drain the salad on thin slices of brown
bread, lightly spread with anchovy
paste. The salad must be served as
quickly as possible so as to retain its
heat.

White Georgette and Black Satin Dress
often additional touches of black
about the dress, for instance on
the belt and sleeves and the
trimming on the front Of the
waist. Silver thread embroide-
ry in the popular darning-stitch
enriches some of these frocks. In
others, bead work is used. AS an
example of this last, white Geor-
gette crepe deliberately worked
with beads forms the upper part
and sleeves of a black satin
dress. Separate skirts of black
satin are also worn with white
Georgette blouses made in Rus
sian style.
Russian styles still keep at the
height of popularity. When they
are worn with suits they appear
i in any of the varying lengths,
from the short hip length to be-
low the knee. A striking black
satin dress recently seen was
made with slip-on Russian
: blouse of medium length over a
very full pleated skirt. The low
er part Of the blouse was richly
embroidered in silk with Japan
csc embroidery in the cherry
blossom design. The embroid-
cry was in white and pale green.
To return to the black-and-
white combination, very eff
fective waist of white crepe was
trimmed with black crepe collar,
cuffs and revers and, in addition,
black beads. The lighter shades
which are again returning to
favor are putty, sand and beige.
Rose-colored beads in deep and
lighter shades trim sand-color-
ed waist very effectively.
Pleated Skirts and Pannels
Pleated skirts, though still re-
curing a liberal amount of ma
terial in the fashioning Of them
are made to hang quite straight.
Some charming effects are seen
where striped material is en-
ployed. In a purple-and-black
striped fabric, the purple stripe
is arranged beneath the pleat, SO
that to all intents and purposes
the skirt appears to be black, but
in walking the colored stripes
show. This arrangement OF
pleats in striped materials is
seen in striped fabrics OF all
colors.
Panel effects are still consider
ed very good style for they pre-
serve the straight lines at which
Fashion aims. Here and there,
however, exaggerated pockets
break the monotony Of the
straight lines and stand out at
the hips. Draped effects in
some afternoon and many even
ing gowns also show that in
some instances there is ten
dency to break away from the
very straight lines.
Tassels of silk, wool or beads
as well as buttons, form the dec
Grafton for dresses Of a simpler
and more tailored type. The ap-
ron string belts on the chemise
dresses are usually finished with
tassels, and frocks with the loose
floating panels are weighted at

CAN THAT CROUCH

Editor Ncws.-
 Notwithstanding the fact that the II. C. q. l.. has us by the throat that we are at war with Germany the bottom has fallen out of the Troadwoll mines. Douglas is going to have a ball team this season and good one, too.
 Many Of the old diamond stars have moved on but their spiked shoes will be filled by the feet of young bucks. home grown products. who are full Of pep and ambition.
 The old Douglas town lot is the scene every evening of a vigorous workout given to the youngsters, coached by a few veterans of the grand old game who are giving them the benefit Of their valuable expert once.
 But what we were going 10 say was this. One week from tonight ton Friday, May 25) Manager Mac William is staging a benefit perform anco at the Orpheum for the base ball fund no raise in prices but good picture show at the regular price. Better reserve that night and keep your mind in a receptive mood for the boy who will wait on you with a ticket, and chip in your two- bits Co the fund that will buy base balls this season.

GERMAN VIEW
 IS EXPRESSED
Reichstag Liberal Leader Ernest stresseman Says America
 Sees Wrong

Berlin, via London. May h. President Wilson is at error if he thinks there is a line Of distinction between the German people and tho German leaders. according to Ernest ] |strcssemau. liberal reischtag leader.
 "A world war with 2.OOO,OOO German volunteers would have been impossible if there had been any difference between our people and our government" he told the United Press today. "The breach with Amer lea is the natural result of an Eng .lish propaganda operated for a score or more of years When ! visited the United States in 1912 saw what a caricature Germany had been made in American eyes, without knowledge of which Wilson's effort Co separate the German people and their government is inexpicable.
 "The German parliament is based on the frecst electoral system in the world. The kaiser is more limited In his acts of imperial power than tho president of the United States.
 America has already fought as like an enemy. Our children arc in- sufficiently nourishod because food smus have not been received from America. while hundreds of thou sands of our men have been torn by American shells and murdered by American poisoned gas. Neutrality demanded free passage from America to Liverpool, but allowed England Co hinder American travel between Hamburg, Bremen and the United States.
 Despite America's attitude, the German people do not wish to injure American commerce or American lives thru our submarines. We have a right Co define a war zone on the seas, as England does.
 'Wc are sure of victory and hope that universal cultural and conner ciol ties will be renewed after peace
 which we hope is near.
 "The American people will not per init their government delaying peace one day, if peace is possible.
 "Ow aims are only toward secur- ing freedom for development of Ger many We claim the rights Of free people closely connected with us fEc Che Battles and Films as every progressive people has done during its history, last but not least, Amer lea.
 "Tbe German attitude in the world war win stand Che test before the Judgment Of history and of God When America really learns Euro ncan conditions she will regret the partial role she has played in the war"
