X f. f THE CHARM OF MOTHERHOOD Enhanced By Perfect Physi cal Health. The experience of Motherhood is a try ing one to most women and marka dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not on woman in a hundred 5s prepared or un derstands how to properly care for her self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi ence with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am ple time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the triaJ. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. In many homes once childless there are now children be cause of the fact that Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong.

Only Two Legs Left. Carmargo, in Dewey county, Okla., has dogs big dogs, little dogs and in fact all kinds of dogs, but it has one that is somewhat of an oddity. This is a dog that travels on two legs. Several months ago a dog belonging to Mr. Storey, section foreman of Sup ply, Okla., was run over by a train and two of his legs cut off. For some time he was unable to move around, but now has recovered so that he can nav igate quite handily. The two legs on which he Is forced to walk art both on one sido. He not only walke, but can also run, and seems to be about as well able to get around as a dog with four good les. Drink Denison's Coffee, For your health's sake. Nearly 500 women in Aberdeen.

Civ STYLES FOR THE FALL PARIS OPENINGS PUT OFF UNTIL FIRST OF AUGUST. Flattened Hips Hinted at In Advance Models Silver Lining to Over shadowing Cloud of Full Skirts. The majority of the leading houses in Paris put off the dress openings of the season until the first of this month, although we were promised all the news of clothes by the second week of July. What the reason was for the change in dates whether the paucity of American buyers in Paris early in the monlh of July, or the difficulty of get ting ready a new set of models after the manufacturers had depleted the first set is of little importance to the question at large; the result is very satisfying to those buyers and sellers who want new clothes for the winter and not for the summer. The one thing that the specialists strive for is to get their frocks be fore the public who wants the last thing from Paris and open the way for the manufacturers to copy these styles at once; the sooner the better, for the moment a French style is run to ground, the specialists have the chance to sell a new and complete set of fashions to the world of women who will no longer wear a style that Wine Colored Cloth Suit Trimmed With Black Satin. is selling for fifteen dollars through the cheaper ready-to-wear depart ments. There are manufacturers' models in plenty in America already. Those who sell to the trade that pours into New York in July to get the fall ma terials, hats and gowns must be served. Why that fiood does not wait until September is not a question for an amateur to cettle by an answer. There are certain dressmakers, ca tsring to a large trade that does not dwell in or near New York, who also hurry home with a few models, buy others from the manufacturers, and get their autumn business off their hands almost before one knows that October is coming. This variety of clothes has been ; NEW COLORS ARE PROMISED Already Fashion Is Determining Wfiat Shade Shall Be Worn Durinc; Fall and Winter Months. Prom the Rodier collection of fab rics for fall and winter wear we find that the colors are quite as important a the fabrics. All the pansy shades to the lightest of the violet tones, with all the intermediate shades, including mauve and lavender, will be in de mand. These shades, it is said, are particularly beautiful in the new pile pabrics, especially the new vel vet weave known as "panecia." Ranging from the deep, rich shade of bordeaux to the old-fashioned wine color are the reds that will brighten the dull winter months for the many who prefer the warm colors. In the new Rodier fabrics that combine both silk and velvet these red hues are par ticularly successful. From the begin ning of the war it was almost impos sible to keep enough soldat blue to supply the demand, and it is said that America has had very little of this soft and beautiful shade of blue. Every toue that bore the slightest resem blance to the soldiers uniform was so much in demand that there is little reason to doubt that it will be a most popular color for winter. In panecia this shade is charming. All the vary ing shades of marine and soldier blue will be obtained in Uie new fabrics. There are many browns, with a new one in the market that will be sure to be desired. It is a light brown re isembling, it is said, the color of hazel nuts. The novelties in color combinations include stripes of two colors, with on the market since July and the people who copy each acceptable fashion in large quatities are already at work. Soon the shops will offer them as the first and most authorita tive ideas in winter fashions. Whether or not they prove to be all that their agents claim for them is a doubt that will not deter hundreds of women from buying them, because they are at hand and fall clothes are always need- ed as soon as therst chill makes its appearance, except by those lucky ones who always find a suit or a frock left over from the preceding season, which happens to fill the first neces sity. There is a strong tendency in each of the fashions that are advanced as forerunners of what is to come in October toward flattened hips. For the last few months we have grown quite large in that spot; we have avoided any appearance of slimness and given ourselves over to gathers and plaits at the waist line. This fashion was deplored by all but the excessively slender, yet as all the models called for a certain amount of fullness from waist to ankles there seemed no other way to arrive at it except through a wide circular skirt, a cut to which the majority of women objected. The latter method of cutting the skirt, however, is the one that is ad vanced today and the unevenness of the hem, which is sure to result,, is offset by accentuating it and usinj cord or plaiting as an edge. To quiet the rebellion against this kind of skirt among the larger num ber of women the Spanish flounce has been revived on all kinds of skirts, or rather on skirts made of various materials. Organdie, broadcloth, gab erdine, velvet, batiste nad satin are the fabrics that show this deep ruffle; it gives the necessary fullness at the knees without increasing the girth around the hips. It may not matter very much how one achieves that line of slimness at the hips and width at the ankles; the main thing is to be well assured of the silhouette and then work it out through any channel one desires. It is in just this divergence of method makers have a chance of success. There is a silver lining to the cloud of full skirts if these individual treat ments are welcomed; especially will the incoming of the deep flounce with the smooth hip line please the women who have looked unpleasantly abnor mal in the skirts that were gathered about the waist. As to the frankly circular skirt which is growing in favor among those who decide on the fashions, there is a silver cloud to it also. A band of some kind of opposing fab ric is dropped below the uneven edge of the hem which frames ir in, or rather gives it a straight selvedge. The introduction of this redeeming feature has turned discouragement into optimism. It may be possible, after all, say many, to wear a circu lar skirt with confidence in its be havior something that has been im possible since circular skirts were in vented. In the prevailing taffeta frocks that will be worn without coats on warm days and with them on chill days, the skirts are scalloped, not unduly, the edges corded, and the uneven line held together by a five-inch band of double net which is slightly gathered and steadied on its lower edge by a thick cord of the taffeta. If you are not familiar witb tills method of finishing an uneven skirt hem it is quite worth your while to try it. The effect is good because the skirt has the appearance of be ing actually finished; the ragged edge does not always give this. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspa- per Syndicate.)

BLUES OF SOFTEST COLOR Easy to See That That Shade Is Going to Be the Most Popular for the Summer. The prevalence of tender blues in summer dresses is very welcome, and in the soft crepons, linons, mous selines and fine cloth which are being used so generously nothing could look better. The coat with a loose back, partly bolero, partly jacket, is one to have, and the skirt, with side plaits is in great favor with good makers. The question of the high neckband is still burning. Any and every kind or front, guimpe, collar or cravat can be found and worn, but nice as many look in the shop window only a very few are entirely satisfactory. No woman who understands dress at its best will con sent to being uncomfortable again about the throat, yet many realize that a high-necked blouse is more becom ing to them. The real secret for such as these is the importance of soft draperies. Only the young or the very classic featured can bear complete bareness or unbending stiffness.

A cheap and easily made substitute for horn can be made of wheat flour and sodium silicate. This substitute is very hard and strong and, by insert ing organic dye into the composition while mixing, it can be colored to imi tate almost any kind of horn sub stance. The compound is made by mixing 10 parts (by volume) of so dium silicate (40 degrees Baume) with distilled water, and then stirring the resultant liquid into a thick paste with fine white wheat flour. The mass is then allowed to stand for three weeks, during which time it undergoes a chemical reaction that produces a hard, hornlike substance. This com position can be molded without pres sure when first made and turned and machined like brass after it has set. Chocolate Soldiers. Captain Bean of the commissionary branch of the British army in France reports, says the Westminster Ga zette, that Tommy Atkins is striving with all his might to live up to George Bernard Shaw's "Chocolate Soldier." Chocolate sweets and, in fact, sweet meats of all kinds are in such great demand that British candymakers are busy night and day. From Cairo comes the report that the Australians stationed there have absolutely eaten the entire chocolate supply. Captain Bean's official report says: "Our canteen has five times tbe de mand for sweets and soft drinks that was expected, and one-fifth the de mand for beer."

We can hardly realize that of all the children bom in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thirty-serea per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half befot they are fifteen ! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would sa.ro a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile aeaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and scathing syrups sold for children's complf ints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death.

Consul Frank Deedmeyer writei from Charlottetown, P. B. I., Canada: In most of the bays indenting tha shores of Prince Edward island ara found extensive deposits of mussel shells, so called locally, being organic remains of countless generations of oysters, mussels, clams, and other bi valves of the ocean, and of crusta ceous animals generally. The shell, usually more or less intact, are found, imbedded in dense deposits of mud like substance and this combination is a fertilizer of high value and potency. It supplies small quantities of phoi phates and alkalies. An ordinary dressing of it secures fertility in a striking mannor to the poorest or moat exhausted soil. The shells decay slow ly, year by year, throwing off a film, of fertilizing stuffs. The deposits around Prince Edward island vary from five to twenty-five feet in depth They are taken up by dredging mat chines worked from rafts in summer or from the ice in winter. Needed Gift.
