The Commercial Head.

Can you recognize commercial" head

As a rule you'll find that it belongs to
man or woman Of what is known as the
vital temperament, that is TO say, TO
one whose face tends to be round, rather
than square or pear-shaped.
The commercial head is the medium

pointed out that the narrow head goes
with mild, impractical but often cour-
ageous and stubborn temperament
The medium-wide head is. as you might

TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE DELI
CATE FABRICS

The average woman realizes that
the utternost care must be given soft
velvets. but these materials are often
laid aside as ruined when a little eff
fort would reclaim them.
Velvet should never be pressed with
on iron. Rather, when it is to be rem
ovated, put it over the steam arising
from an open vessel of boiling water
and BRUSH both ways of the nap The
final brushing should always be with
the nay.
The same method is effective for
duvetyne.

Soned laces should seldom be dry
cleaned. The better method is to wash
them in luke warm water and CASTLE
soap. They should be laid flat to dry
and ironed with a medium hot iron
Laces should never be starched. Starch

Such rare cd laces as rose point

should be folded carefully away from
the light after each wearing and care
should be taken that the folds are not
made in the same places

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

Most children may be taught to
show the throat and tongue wiling
~ at or 8 Years of age, and taught
to gargle and take tablets at 4 or 5
years.
Proper shampooing makes the hair
more beautiful, and this should be done
regularly with e good reliable soap
or preparation that will not dry and
ihjure the scalp.
Gray hair should never be dried be-
fore a hot fire, as this tends to turn
it yellow. 1t is best-whenever posi-
ble-to dry it III the sunshine or fan
or rub it dry. Put a few drops of
blueing in the EAST rinse water to keep
it silver white
Gfayness Of the hair is more often
hereditary than not Sometimes wor-
ry, anxiety, a diseased condition of
the scalp will help along the gray
hairs. Aside from removing these lat
ter causes, there is not much one can
do for 1t. If you once start dyeing it,
YOU are in for lifetime OF care on
it. And Their dyed hair, unless ex-
tFeiiaely cleverly done and dyed as near
the original color as possible, is APT
to be quite ugly.
When a child shows any symptom
Of illness it should be put to bed al
once. If it is an infant. the food Should
| be diluted to one-half the usual
strength; if it is an older child, only
fluid food should be given. If the
child seems feverish, take the tenn
| perattre. If the bowels are eonstipat-
ed give teaspoonful of castor oil
| but no other medicine without ths
doctors orders. Send for a doctor al
once. and until he comes carefully
exclude all other children from the
| room.

STYLES FAVOR STOUT FIGURE

Designers of stout dresses agree that
this seasons modes are partie ulariy
well adapted to the clever and COR
rect gewning of the stout women. The
side Grapes carry the eye in a long
line, and add to the effect OF height
while the bloused waist is said to
prove more soft and becoming to the
lines of the stout woman than have
the styles of many preyiouss seasons
The new materials that are shown
are crepe faille which is soft and
dull and which drapes charmingly,
and filet net which is used for dresses
of simple lines The fuchsia tones and
cornflower blues are the color notes
most used with black, which is always
liked best for dresses of this type. Es-
pecially becoming types for the stout
figure for evening wear are shown IN
the jet robes, which are made in long
lines. Two evening modes one of soft
gray velvet chiffon, which has the
pattern outlined in matching beads,
and another robe of cut jet, with an
attractive pattern of roses worked out
in the beading are designs especially
attractive Tor the stout figure.
A deep V in front makes a becoming

the sides reflect the new mode in their

effect of the gown. Tuile, jet edged

NEEDLESS Loss OF LIFE.

Each time a hunter loses his life in
the woods, each time the seeker OF big
game is shot down in mistake for a deer,
each time the man WITH a gun trips,
falls ana shoots himself or another. EACH
time there is a fatality through the ac-
cidentai discharge Of gun in the woods,
each time human life is ended by any
kind OF an accident In the quest Of game
there is no end of attention directed to
the lack of safety provisions.

WILL TEXAS RESPOND?

Whether the people of the state Of

When a governor in a public address
declares that More people were lynch

Famous Trials
ROGER LoWEN.

Who can tell how many cases of crime
and murder have been caused by jeal-
ousy? Since the time the first page OF
history was written one constantly comes
upon stories of murders, some deserved
and others the reverse, but most all of
them have been caused by the little
greeneyed monster" Whether the fol-
lowing case IS one of those deserved or
vice versa we cannot tell, but the follow
ing is the account of the trial:
Roger Lowen was born in Hanover in
the year 1857. He was educated in
France and when about IS years of age
Went to England and was married to a
young English woman, with whom he
lived in an affectionate manner for a
number Of years without suspicion OF
waning love. However. in 1897 he went
abroad to attend King Williams ct the
Treat yof RyswicA, and left his wife with
her cousin, who was the wife of Richard
Lloyd of Turnham Green.
Upon Lowen's return from Holland he
suddenly became surprisingly jealous
without any seeming reason, and accused
his wife of becoming too familiar with
her cousins husband, Richard Lloyd This
led to the fatal catastrophe for which
Roger Lowen was finally arraigned al
the Old Bailey on the goth of September
1905, for the murder of Richard Lloyt
of Acton. To this charge he pleaded no
! guilty and applied for the privilege o.
! having an interpreter to speak for him t,
/ the jory, and the Jury to be composed O.
half foreigners and half Englshinen.
The first witness called was the wife o
the deceased, Mrs. Lloyd. She stated tina

SEWING HINTS

Use cotton thread to mend all kinds
of kid gloves. 1t can be drawn closer
and viii not cut the kid.
An old lace member tells of this way
to mend lace: Sew a piece OF paper
under the hole, if it is only a small
one, then stitch back and forth on the
machine until the hole is filled. Care
fully pick the paper AVA.
Squares cut from old tablecloths
make good napkins for the nursery
table Or they may be wisely utilized
for bibs for the babies. Any leftover
strips may be cut and wound into ban
dages for first aid in the household
WORKOUT damask cloths may be cut
up to make everyday breakfast cloths
picnic lunch cloths or for the invalid Z
tray. 1t does not pay to put a great
deal of work in hemstitching or in
hand sealloping on these cloths of soft
old linen; but an attractive finish is
added when the hem is turned and run
in with darning stitch in two shades OF
| wool.

DIET TO REDUCE

Here is a diet which if followed
closely is said to reduce weight:
Do not eat between meals. Eat lob
ster, frogs legs, clans, unthickened
soups, fresh, salt or smoked fish, but
no liver or pork.
Eggs any style but fried; chicken,
duck, turkey, lamb and lean beef may
be INDUCED in moderately. Vegetables
tomatoes, asparag gus, celery, watercress
onions, cauliflower, without sauce, pic
kles Of any kind and olives. Bread
made of glucose and unsweetened gra-
ham. Coffee without cream, tea, and
water in any quantity, except with
! meals. Milk sparingly and no wines
No butter, sweets, or cream, and boil
ed rice should be substituted for po-
tatoes.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE

THE HOUSEWIFE
Milk will stay sweet longer if kept
in shallow pan than if put in a deep
pail or Jug.
Soak nildew spots in sour milk and
SALT Lay in the sun. Repeat process
until spots are gone.
Clean your over often. An oven
which is not very clean is liable to
spoil food which is cooked in 1t.
AS soon as emptied, wash the bot
ties with warm water and wood
ashes or saleratus. Put them away
mouth down, but be sure to wish them
again before using.
To remove tar from clothes rub but
ter or lard over the tar spots, then
apply oil of turpentine, let remain for
one hour and wash again.
Be sure that you oven is the cor
rect temperature before you put your
food in it. Simnering in a cool oven
spoils foods which should be baked
If you would have the crusts OF
your bread or rolls smooth and soft,
put sauce pan of boiling water in
| the oven while you bake.
If you want the food which you are
frying in boiling fat to be exceeding
| ly light, lift 1T out of the fat three
or four times during the process OF
cooking.
When preparing meats remember
the fresh meat should be started to
cook in boiling water while salt meats
| should be put in cold water and al
| lowed to get hot with the water.
To remove a grease spot cover il
| with powdered magnesia and let it re-
tnain "a hours or more. If when you
remove the magnesia there is still a
spot, cover again. 1t can be depended
upon to draw out the grease.

younger children to have a hot drink
before starting for school in the morn

Make cocoa with whole or skim
milk if possible. Allow level tea

pint Of milk. While bringing the milk
to the scalding point mix the cocoa
and sugar to a paste with a little
