THE MENTAL SIEVE.

A rhymeful hint I wish to give,
And speak about the mental sieve
that dwells within the Uranium
of Ichabod Nobranium.
He has a memory as bad
as any mortal ever had.
and never has been known as yet
to fail to thoroughly forget.
His thinker is as clear as mud
and doesn't chew it's mental cud;
he makes no effort to maintain
a storage vault within his brain.
Though lchabod, as per intent,
Is honest and a trusty gent.
his memory is like a cheese
and full of useless cavities.

has blossomed out as a religious,

Convincing

One of the most convincing indi-
cations OF improvement in the Presi-
dents health is the simultaneous alb
sence from the White House OF both
Rear Admiral Grayson and Joseph
P. Tumulty. On those two men Mr..
Wilson has leaned almost exclusive
ly since he fell ill a year ago. DR..
Grayson's functions in the distress
full interval have by no means been
limited to medical activities. On
more than one occasion he has car
ried out delicate missions dealing
with high affairs of state. During
Mr.. Tumulty's absence at Dayton
for the Cox notification festivities
the duties of assistant to the Presi-
dent were inherited by Rudolph
Forster. executive clerk.
Maurice Francis Egan Here.
DR.. Maurice Francis Egan, former
American Minister to Denmark, is a
visitor to Washington, with Mrs
Egan. AS the long time dean of the
American diplomatic service in Eu-
rope at the whispering gallery OF

quainted with most of the cross
currents now at work on the other
side of the Atlantic. He will confer
with cambridge Colby, Secretary OF
State, while here, and with numer-
Gus other old-time confreres in the
diplomatic world, including the
Polish Minister, Prince Lubomirski

minister and his wife were held dur.

EATONIC Users
DO This-Cet the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Ill.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the u. S. who
have tested eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that it stops
Belching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time, for eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and pOiSOns and carries
them out of the body and of course,
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
we'll, feels fine-full of life and pep.
If you have been taking an eatOnic
now and then, be sure and take it regu-
larly for a time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv.

the room is carpeted, mosten a news

NEW NOVELTIES ARE SHOWN.
Chain of Dull Gold; An At
tractiVe Headdress.

Although the season is well advanced
designers are untiring in their efforts
to provide us with something new
to wear Summer never has been a
time when the shops exploited new
details in dress. This year. however,
is an exceptional one in this respect,
Judging from the number of unusual ac-
cessories to be had, states a Paris
fashion correspondent.
Among the novelties is an Algerian
chain of dull gold, studded with vari-
colored stones. At the end of the
chain hangs a gold case, designed to.
hold a stick of lip rouge. This little
vanity box. although intended for lip
pomade, is not the shape Of an Ordi-
nary lip stick holder, but Is like a metal
plaque paved with stones to make "a
handsome ornament.

The leaves are studded with crystal
beads that are long and narrow. From
the. crown spring slender silver wires

TRIMMING IN USE
Wealth of Embroidery Takes
Precedence Over Silhouette.
Lavish Use of Decoration Raises
Question of Where NeedIework
Is to Come From.

The trimming takes precedence over
the Silhouette, asserts a prominent
fashion authority. This is the thing
that strikes one most forcibIy in the
late models. Many of the old forms
of trimming are cast aside for en-
broideries, which are used so Iavishly
that we wonder where all the work
ers are coming from to turn out so
much of this needlework.
1t is unfortunate to run to an extrava-
CANT use of any mode of ornamental
ton. No one can gainsay the deco
rativeness of beautiful embroidery,
but it, like anything else. becomes
commonplace when too extensively
slSed
one reason for using so much trim
ming may be because the silhouette has
changed so slightly designers have felt
that this is the only way of offering
something new. Straightline dresses
nre covered with embroidery, the
stitches being placed so closely to-
gether that it is almost impossible to
discern the patterns. Coats and hats
show quite as much embroidery as do
the frocks.
1t is surprising to see such a costly
use of trimming directly following so
many movements toward economy. 1t
would seem that any effort toward
economy in dress is like swimming
against the current. With what meas
ure OF success these dresses will meet
it is difficult to say. They must ueces-
sarily be expensive with so much
needlework ornamenting them.
Very unusual are the things used to
work out embroidery designs. che
