Artificial, Flowers,

Hortense is very fond of the present
artificial flower bud, which she says is
80 Frenchy." Possibly never before
have artificial flowers had such n
vogue as they have Just now, and n
small corsage flower is one of the best
means to giving color to n dark street
frock or suit.
There are punches of tiny flowers in
brilliant red that are very good. There
are bouquets consisting of n rosebud,
a few forget-me-nots and a sprig or
two of green that are good. Then there
are nasturtiums, poppies and many
other flowers in their own natural, rich
coloring.-Paris Correspondence.

Whatever You Will in Coiffures.

Just at present, coiffures are almost
Ds diversified as heads. In the matter
of hair dressing there are no styles
that govern and about everything Is
left to individual taste. The hair
dresser asks you what you will have,
and is prepared to execute any sort
of order, even to bobbing off half your
locks and curling what is left of them.
He is not arbitrary about single
thing, but is insistent that waved hair
is better than straight hair, no matter
what style you may elect to make
your own.
Young women like the style in which
the hair is combed back Off the fore
head so well that they are reluctant
to part with 1t. 1t is still n favorite.
But 1t Is much less becoming than
waves or curls about the face, and
newer coiffures Insist upon covering
at least portion of the forehead. All
of them present waved hair as an es-
sential feature and all of them are
cxquisitely neat.
A coiffure for evening dress is shown
In the picture, with the hair parted n
little to one side and waved. Only
half of the forehead Is uncovered and
the waved hair almost covers the ears.
There is fad for turning the ends of
the hair under and pinning them in

SALE OF CIDER IS STOPPED
Nice Discrimination Needed to Tell

which have been selling cider at 8

Then they conferred with the city
police authorities and the dealers were
requested to discontinue the sale of
cider to "avoid complications"

Janozt Rlgo, gypsy violinist, was

WAR TAKES MOST OF COPPER OUTPUT

ord with predictions that 3O-cent metal

tained at high level, prices will be
called upon to bear the brunt of the
postwar reaction. There are produc-
ers who feel that the American out
put will sag back within year or
two after the conflict is over to where
1t was in 1913; others are persuaded
that 1t will not again fall so far un-

Boots for the Street,

One sees the most frivolous dancing
boots, high of heel and paper thin of
sole with street tailored garb for shop
ping and runabout wear in town; but
such boots are not correct according to
the canons of conventionality. Pretty
boots of bronze or light-colored glazed
kid are intended for formal wear with
dancing or reception frock when one
travels by limousine or brougham; the
walking costume in tailored style de-
mands n smart walking boot with long,
slender lines and heel, high perhaps,
but not too curved for comfort.

THERE is just little danger that the
matter Of Seeking contributions for various
purposes in connection with the army
will be overdone and that really meritori-
GUS causes will thereby suffer. Just now
certain newspapers are conducting cam
paignS for contributions 10 buy cigars and
cigarettes and tobacco for the soldiers in
camp, and these various forms OF tobacco
are 10 be presented in quantities to all the
men, whether they are smokers or not.
We doubt the wisdom OF such donations
anyhow, the soldiers get sufficient pay
10 buy such articles for themselves il
they must have them. Someone else has
started subscription lists TO buy baseball
outfits for the soldiers, and this is another
scheme OF questionable utility. After the
soldiers have done their days work al
the training camp-their drills and hikes
and various ether exercises-they prob
ably have little time and less inclination
for baseball. lfthey really want to play
such games, we have no doubt that they
will be able and willing 10 buy bats and
balls for themselves.
The two really great meritorious causes
that reed TO be supported are the Red
Cross work and the Y. M. c. A. work

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition OF the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumoling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored 10 its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of DEAFNESS are caused by
catarrh, which is an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces Of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.
