The materials used for the hand
soonest winter coats are the softest
and richest that the looms have ever
woven. They have scared in price,
and increased in fascination, until the
average woman can hardly afford to
get nearer to them than the outside OF
show window. The coats made of
them, usually fur trimmed, have both
comfort and distinction, and are alto
gether irresistible; they have another
saving grace-they are very durable.
Velours and duvetyn, in the heavier
qualities and similar weaves that are
christened with new names each sea-
son, are used for the dressy coats !;
these fabrics are the best vehicles for
soft, rich colors, and have made it
possible to use lively shades in coats
instead of the usual neutral ones.
At the left of the picture above

1t is an ample, envelOping affair that

looks equal to the most frigid weather.
A belt which does not extend over the
side body, makes up for 1t by being
double across the front and back.
Very handsome bone buttons furnish
a practical fastening and a seal turn
over collar adds it's luxurious touch
as finish.
The dark coat of duvetyn at the
right has the popular panel back and
the unusually long waistline. The wide
belt is an extension of the back panel.
The inconspicuous slit pockets are de-
fined by a row of small clOth-covered
buttons. Opossum fur makes the deep
shawl collar and big cuffs that look so
warm. Both the coats are shOe-top
length and have rOomy sleeves, and
both are satin lined. Except for few
novelties in new designs for tourists
wear they are the last word in win
ter coats and nothing better may be ex-
pected.

'Then they laid some egge upon the

Indeed. How interesting !" ex-.
claimed Mr.. Oak Caterpillar. I've
always heard, in my whole summer
life. that caterpillars and butterflies
were very interesting because they
changed from one thing into another.
s'They say there are many unfortu-
mates who never change at all.
For example, I've heard that chill
dren always remained children until
they grew up. They grow, to be sure,
but they don't change into other crea-
lures. They always have two legs and
walk or run about.
''Now we crawl for a time and then
we fly and that is SO wonderful. We
know what it is like to be on earth
and In the air. Isn't that SO, brother
Charles?''
yes" said Mr.. Charles Caterpillar.
'eyou have heard how lucky we are
and good part of our history, but /
whether we know it or not to hear It
over and over again."
''It is always interesting" said Mr..
Oak Caterpillar.

HEALTH TALK
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DIR. LEE H. SMITH.

An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight a German or a
germ. we must put up a good fight,
and not be afraid. The influenza runs
a very brief course when the patient
is careful, and if we keep the sys-
tenn in good condition and throw off
the poisons which tend to accumu-
late within our bodies, we can escape
the disease Remember these three
C-s--a clean mouth, clean skin, and
clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses of pleasant laxa-
tive should be taken. Such one is
made of May-apple, leaves of aloe,
root of jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Hot lemonade
should be used freely il attacked by
a cold, and the patient should be put
10 bed after a hot mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis
or pneumonia and to control the
pain. Anuric tablets should be OBJ
tanned at the drug store, and one
given every two hours, with lemon
ade The Anuric tablets were first
discovered by DR.. Pierce, and, as they
flush the bladder and cleanse the kid
neys, they carry away much of the
poisons and the uric acid.
1t is important that broths, milk,
buttermilk, ice-cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the
system and increase the vital resist
ance. The fever is diminished by
the use of the Anuric tablets, but in
addition, the forehead, arms and
hands may be bathed with water

salaratus has been dissolved in a
