If manufacturers of ready -tu-wear
clothes were to neglect to provide tat
feta suits for summer wear the
chances are that women would have
them made to order rather than face
summer without them. Taffeta
makes a crisp, cool, smart and often
inexpensive suit that may be made
more or less dressy, according to the
accessories worn with it and is most
practical and comfortable for warm
weather. AS there is a perennial de-
mapd for it we may count on new de-
signs each season, at least until some
other silk displaces taffeta. But all
the new weaves are of totally differ
ent character and cannot rival silk
to which they bear no likeness. so the
taffeta suits continue to fill their own
particular niche. Suits of silk jersey
and the latest arrivals, made of the
lightest weight in trlcolette, may come
to divide honors with taffeta suits
when they are as well known.
Navy blue is as much a favorite in
silk as in wool and the suit at the left
Of the two shown above is in this
color. It's skirt Is cut with "a slight in
ward slope toward the bottom and Is
plain. The coat is straight but belted
at the waistline with wide belt OF

How Many Thin People Build
Themselves Up to Normal
Standards

Do you realize that unless your
weight is up to normal you are actually
In danger of serious Illness? No better
proof of this is needed than the strict
rules of the insurance companies which
forbid the issuance of insurance to
those who are underweight.
Many thin people find that they gain
weight steadily while taking Father
Johns Medicine. The pure food tonic
elements which are contained in this
old-fashioned prescription strengthen
and build up those who are thin, weak
and run down. 1t is real food and in
form which even the weakened sys-
tenn can easily take up.

have become so very common that
it might seem that the South should
suffer an odious name, a name that
would apply with equal force to both
its spirit and its inordinate greed for
buster and general cussedness. This
we suggest need not be a reproach
to the white woman of the South,
who is without aAy doubt as far be-
yound her male king in deeency and
those high reaches of goodness as
Jupiter is from our earth.
She has grace. charming manners
and some virtue, but the red-neck
man veneered with white or trans
parent skin is a superlative devil
from any angle you view him.
We could call it hell, but it isn't

fan short Of their idealS-the inventor

THE GALLANT EIGHTH OF
ILLINOIS.
BY DR.. MAJORS.

Our boys are coming home from the
fearful, dreadful war.
Wen be very glad to see them. they
won the worlds new star.
They've fought with gun and bayonet
and driven off the Hun,
And they are back in the u. S. A.,
for Hindenburg is done:
The trenches and the coties are left
behind in France,
And foreign hell so hot to them to
cool viii have a chance.
But if the thing breaks out again
somewhere near the Rhine.
Just give US ships, then'll sail the
main and heat the German line.
They are coming back, to homes and
hearts that love them ever true.
For us they've borne the brunt and
carried stars that are blue.
And won their honors in q fight that
was a fight indeed,
And showed the world how valiant
men can let their bodies bleed.
Don't let the red-neck galivant, and
fiaunt his prejudice.
Let Uncle Sam just show his pride;
they brought the armistice.
Speak to the South, that hole of hell,
that cruelty and hang,
To cut it out or let the Eighth go
down there with its gang.
We're glad the boys are home again,
We just can't tell it right.
We love our boys who had the dash
to go through hell and fight.
Our pride, our hearts, our homes, our
hopes, our all and everything
Amt good enough for our boys who
made the Germans wing.
So here's to the gallant Eighth,
''black devils" of Illinois.
The Partridges the Frenchmen called |
our gallant soldier boys.
May the whole heart love of a noble |
world be commensurate,
For they have molly won their spurs,
and linked themselves to Fate.

LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS.


Today, tomorrow, next year, and
q hundred years hence, this month
men and women viii bow, and bare
their heads, and some will speak elo-
quent language, some prize essays
everywhere men breath and women
cherish goodness, the great deeds of
these two colossal characters will be
reverberated, and re-echoed, and be-
cause of them, and the good they
wrought, men viii seek to become
better. and strive to be noblemen.
Lincoln and Douglass came forth
at a time when the world was in
great need of real manly men. Not
automatons, men who IN the early
making SHE'D at every ugly menace
that threatnened their honor. Then
there was virtue in men, built Of rus
tic parts, formed to serve the storms
'of every kind, and keep the solace
of intellectual grandness free from
the ugly touches of marouders. Nat
ure bequeathed that rugged, uncouth
means to reach the end that each of
these great men should know the
simplest life. Professors could never
boast of teaching Lincoln nor Doug
lass. Great Nature had long ago set
these two men in time jeweled epochs
70 do work no other men could do.
The one white, the other colored,
both to do what celestial hearts and
minds might do.
These men got their wisdom from
Him who trusts what He makes, and
leaves nothing to base hands. The
Negro in chains arrested their atten-
ton in their younger days, and how
to break those chains. God was teach
ing them for decades Finally they
learned their lesson and alighted. Pine
knot and thumb-worn books became
implements of power.
Both achieved prominent distinc-
ton in the noblest things man has
ever been commissioned to do, and
perhaps God knew best when He cast
these two great images in the same
mould, the one to help the other and
without which neither possibly could
have done quite 50 much. Both seem !
