may be due TO overeating. He should
know that he is in grave danger Of
high blood pressure, diabetes and a
host of other things besides stomach
troubles
Here's my suggestion to you: Don't
use any fat at all when you cook your
vegetables-you'll find that they taste
just as good without it, if you cook
them right, which means in very little
water and not overdone; or. if you have
a waterless cooker. that is still better.
And cut all fat of of the meats before
you serve them. If he must have pies
make the crust with mineral Oil, which
doesn't count in calories-it seems TO
taste Just as good. Serve fresh fruit
for dessert as often as you can. Don't
place more than one slice of bread and
only quarter of pat of butter for
him. Fill him up on thin vegetables
or meat SOUPS which you have made
the day before so that the fat can total
~ be taken of. II you do these things
you will automatically cut out 400 to
500 Galleries q day, and as soon as he
begins to feel better he will cooperate
with YOU.
viii you write and lei me know how
you succeed?
Low Blood Pressure.
Mr. Low blood pressure is often
present in facilitating diseases such as
anemia and tuberculosis, but is is also
found in many individuals who are ap-
parently in perfect health. This condi-
ton alone is not considered as a bar
TO insurance.
The normal blood pressure for adults
should be approximately 100 plus half
the age But the normal pressure may
vary around 80 points.

Open.Meshed Wooden Fabrics
BY MARY MARSHALL.

vival of open -meshed WOODEN fabrics for
Autumn There are materials like the
old-fashioned nuns yelling that was
worn a good many years ago Louise
Boulanger OF Paris is already making
use of these materials for her advanced
models. and Louise Boulanger seldom
makes a wrong guess.
/ think it is worth noting even now,
because these open meshed wooden ma
terialS are appropriate for certain frocks
even in the Summer time, and If you
are planning frocR for present wear
that will not have a note of neWneSs
when Autumn comes. then by all means
look into these wool veillngS
Some of them are of material much
more open than the old-time voiles and
have a charm all their own when worn
over foundations of contrasting hue.
Brown wool wolfe over golden yellow
foundation is lovely So is black wolfe
over silver gray and dull light blue over
mauye.
For immediate wear a frock of white
WOODEN wolfe would be suitable. and this
may be worn over pure white founda-
ton or over some light color chosen
to so with the color of the accessories,
One might vary the color of the founda-
ton to suit different sets of accessories.
Two yards and a quarter of ribbon
five inches wide are all that you need
to make one of the new Pierrot neck
ruches that may be worn so effectively
with Summer frockS and suits, This
weeks home dreSSmaker's help gives
sketch of one of these new neck ac-
and precise instructions for
making. with a diagram for your con-
venience If you are interested. please
send me q stamped, addressed en-
velope and I will send this to you at

July IL. I864.--Heavy skirmishing in
front of Fort Stevens in the vicinity Of
the Seventh street road began this
afternoon and is continuing tonight
between the Confederate invading force
under Gen. Early and the Union troops
defending this city The Confederates
are holding position In the woods,
from which they are throwing out
sklrmisheTs. who are creeping along the
ground and firing from behind trees.
Once or twice they have succeeded in
getting within range and their sharp
shooters have wounded two gunners In
the fort.
The Confederates appear to be using
the house OF F. p. Blair as a hospital,
as they have been seen to carry wounded
men there. The houses OF Mrs. Reeves
and Mrs. Carbery on either side OF
Seventh street road are occupied by
Confederate shartshooters who are
annoying the defending troops some
what. They picked off three Union
sergeants this afternoon, shooting them
through the head.
Ii has been found necessary to destroy
houses on either side of the Seventh
street road To prevent their use by other
sharpShooters, Among the houses so
destroyed are those Of Richard Butts,
William Bell. j II McChesney, Mr..
Shoemaker and the house occupied by
me family OF the late william M
Morrison.
This evening thousands of persons
are passing out Seventh street by every
conceivable means Of conveyance, while
the road Is literally lined with pedes-
tfians. The hills. trees and fences
within sight OF Fort Stevens are COW

The Sidewalks of Washington
BY THORNTON FISHER.

An ancient cemetery should not be
regarded as a melancholy place. Those
who contribute to the care of the
ground In which illustrious dead are en-
tombed should, If they actually are not,
be inspired by the lofty ideals OF those
who made American history. We know

If majestic oak tree and philosophers.
Listening to him for ten minutes will

The keeper is proud of his job, and
while we have never yearned to occupy
such a position, we envy him his phil
osophy.
In these days, when the common ex-
clamation Is Where do we go from
here?" it is rather refreshing to sit in
on a party where sane conversation
prevails. Midvictorian pleasures are a
novelty today, We seldom hear Just
a Song at Twilight unless in its mod
ern version, Give us a song-bong-
bong-I said a song-we want a song
gong gong--it's all wrong--that twi-

our teachers, our playmates praise us
for cleVerness and do not hesitate 10
humiliate us when we are stupid. 1t Is
not 10 be wondered at that a great
premium is placed on being clever. the
world at large shows the same attitude
On every hand social pressure Is on
the side of the bright and clever person
The great rewards OF life, all the plunis,
go to the quick witted.
There was a time when brute strength
counted for a lot more than 1t does
now. Today wit wins over strength and
brain over Drawn. In any worthwhile
contest. the clever fellow wins over the
stupid person and the dullard,
In addition to winning the plaudits
of the crowd and getting the good
things of life through cleverness, there
Is a personal satisfaction In outwitting
the other fellow In every activity. This
may consist OF getting a job, OF buying
a house. of playing game OF checkers,
or OF a word battle, There is always a
give and take, and we get lot more
satisfaction when We take the lions
share
We come by this honestly Life itself
Is a great contest of matching wits
against the forces of nature and the
environment in the struggle to live and
get the most out OF life.
In some people this desire for repu-
tation for cleverness carries them to
extremes OF dishonesty and possibly
crime.
