MAN OF DAUNTLESS SPIRIT
Captain Arthur Phillip, First Cover.
nor of New South Wales, Made /
Light of Difficulties.

History teens with records Of great
enterprises carried through with cour"
age and strong purpose. The early
settlement of Australia provides
good example Of this. Capt. Arthur
Phillip, the first governor OF New
South Wales. unohtrusively set sail
from the Isle of Wight. on a May
morning in 1877, with II ships, mostly
ill-equippcd, and so started, maus-
piciously, on his 10000 miles voyage
to the Antipodes.
It was not until eight months later,
that is on January 26, 17SS. that the
expedition landed at Sydney cove, Sill
uated inside the world famous Sydney
Harbor. The anniversary Of this his
toric landing is punctiliously observed
throughout the commonw wealth as
public holiday.
Captain Phillip, with every conceiv-
able difficulty to face, including un-
suitable settlers, great shortage OF food
and every kind of equipment, yet
weathered the storm. His every re-
port home was couched in CHEEKY
spirit. Most Of the seed wheat ana
other grain had unfortunately become
spoiled on the voyage out and things
were looking bad. Anticipations OF
help were centered on the impending
arrival of the relief ship which was
due early in 1890, but the vessel struck
an iceberg near the cape, and the car
20 had to go overheard to save the
shin, which was then compelled to re-
turn to port. This even necessitated
the strict rationing of the settlers. In
writing home, the governor referred
TO his desperate situation as these
little difficulties which we have en-
countered."
Such was the man who initiated the
settlement of Australia. His attitude
toward the natives demonstrated at
once his humanity and craftsmanship,
for he showed them great kindness
and did his best to establish friendly
relations between them and his set
tiers. Ultimately the settlement -four
ished and formed the nucleus of the
commonwealth AS it is known today,
and thus we'll has Governor Phillip
earned the distinction Of being In
cluded in the roll Of honor -EOf the

Next to the American Indian, the

Among the deer hunters in the new

FROCKS FOR GIRLS
Extreme Styles and Too EIabor-
ate Material Mistake.
Fashion Authority Asserts Miss in
Teens Should Wear Clothes
That Are Simple.

There can be no greater mistake in
the selection of clothes than to permit
young girl to wear garments that
are too extreme in style or too elabOr-
ate in material, and to let her wear
such as are both extreme and elabor-
ate is nothing short of criminal, de-
clares fashion authority.
Youth is best clothed in garments
that are simple in every detail Of
style, design, material AMI color. The
beauty and freshness of youth are
marred rather than improved by other
than the straight line, simply
trimmed, harmoniously colored clothes
that good taste demands. The really
lovely girls are always thus clothed !;
that is one big reason for their lowell
ness, for even youth can be made un-
lovely by the wrong clothes, Just as
can the older grown ana the habit Of
wearing extreme and elaborate clothes
aftects others as much as a girls ap-
pearance.
The clothes a girl wears have an eff
feet upon her mind and her heart; if
you don't want her to be vain, foolish
ly proud, self-oonscious, too wise for
her years and looking older than she
Is, encourage her to see the beauty,
charm and fitness of simple clothes.
And by this you will do more, much
more, than keep her attractive and
lovable; you will safeguard her from
many undesirable influences Of the mo-
ment and many pitfalls and unhappi-
ness in the future; you will inspire her
to understand and appreciate simple
beauty and good taste in dress, to the
end that she will never feel the desire
to withdraw from the mode of dress
ing that was her youthful habit.
Strive always for beauty in the de-
velopment Of girls wardrobe, but let
this beauty be true to real beauty in
dress, which is always along simple
lines.

LATEST PARIS FASHIONS

- Paris is showing flower toques for
summer wear, most Of these shapes
being small rather than large.
Dinner gowns of black are most eff
fective when frightened by some brill
liant color, in the form of sash or gir-
die or flower arranged to adjust
drapery, or as a foundation slip, Most
of these dresses are Of lace or net, or
a combination Of the two, of beaded
net, embroidered georgette or crepe de
chine.
Smart street frocks developed in a
combination of taffeta and check ging-
ham are a new development in spring
and summer dresses. For instance, on
a gingham skirt is posed a straight
hanging frock Of taffeta with low
round neck that shows a yoke of the
gingham and skirt slashed into panel
to reveal the underskirt of gingham.
Dress hats of malines and of lace
are developed in the dark shade Of
brown and are said to be much in de-
mand by those whose compilations are
not well suited to an all-black hat,
where the materials lack a brilliant
gloss as with fancy luster straws, satin
or panne velvet.
Handmade flowers of self-material
are the simple, yet effective trimming
used on some very youthful dresses Of
colorful Organdies, intended for gradu-
alton trousseaux, so to speak.

Such tints as bronze, silver, gold,
green, blue, crimson and brown are
painted quickly on lotus pods and
leaves, magnolia leaves and are very
SNOWY. Two tints are often applied
to give a very fascinating iridescent
effect. Thus, a spray of leaves is
touched with blue and silver, crimson
and purple or bronze and gold just as
if a fairy's wand had been waved.
These painted sprays are also at

ers to supply foliage, Silvered sprays,

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healin0

its remarkable record Of success.
AN examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. IN
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose appl1ea-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
