Heavy ginghams, muslins and fast
coiored outing ilanuels and llannol
lettes make nice school petticoats for
the little girls, and also make up ai
ti actively lor little dresses subject to
the hard wear of the country. Chil
dren's fashions do not change so rap
idly or bo radically as do those for the
grown-ups, and the plain, simple and
comfortable mod of dressing Is the
most popular. A pretty style for a
school dress is to cut the waist low,
and wear a washable guimpe of some
pretty material with it. This style
may be utilized in making up rem
rants, or in making over outgrown
di esses. An attractive stvle. whlih
never seems to go out of fashion, is to
make the yoke, collar, cuffs and bolt of
some bright-colored plaid. A wise
mother will make a pocket in the llt
tl lassie's dress skirt, and put plenty
01 plain, neat, even If home-made,
handkerchiefs among her belongings.
It Is almost imnossible for the Rnhnhl
girl to keep her handkerchiefs, if she
has no pocket about her gown.

Bonnets have again come into fash

but for those of more advanced age.
The bonnets are the old-fashioned

frills are set arounJ the front edge:

The crowns are small, round affairs;

TRIP THAT PAID
Tan Mllei to Gat a Package ofPoitam
Some sufferers won't turn over a
hand to help themselves, but there are
others to whom health is worth some
thing. A German woman living in the
country made a 10-m e trip to get a
package of Postum. She was well re
paid for It brough't health and happi
ness in return.
A translation of the good frau's let
ter says: "From a child I had been
used to drinking coffee daily, but the
longer I continued drinking it the
worse I felt. 1 suffered with heart
trouble, headaches and dizziness. Then
I had such an uneasy feeling around
my heart that I often thought death
to be near.
"I gave up drinking coffee and tried
hot water, but that did not taste good
and I did not get well. Then I read
some letters from people who had
been helped by Postum Food Coffee
ana 1 determined to try it.
'I. had to go 10 miles, to get a
package, but I went. I prepared it
carefully according to directions and
we have used it now in our family for
nearly two years, drinking it twice
a day. It agrees well with all of us.
My heart and bowel troubles slowly,
put surely disappeared, it is seldom
that I ever have a headache, my nerves
ore steady and strong again and I am
otherwise strong and well. My hus
band has been lately cured of his sick
headache since we threw coffee out of
the home and have used Postum."

Propar Regard For Apparaac.
It is all nonsense to contend that
the clothing one .wears is of little con
sequence. No one can appear at his
best, or make the most of his abilities
IC he feels that his clothing is shabby,
or slovenly. If a person feels well
dressed, It inspires confidence in him
self, and gives him courage to face oc
casions which would otherwise render
him a veritable coward The empty
headed folly of the people who think
they can make as cood an imnression
upon strangers or even upon their
friends by dressing in shabby, or out-of-date
clothes, depending upon their
reputation or suposed superior abili
ties to carry the day for them, ought
not to blind us to the fact that neither
man nor woman can produce the full
effect of which their personality is. cap
able, unless a due regard is paid to
tLeir apparel. A woman especially,
never gains anything by affecting a
dowdy style, as a mark of superior in
telligence. The veriest simpleton, If
she pleases the eye by her neatness
and correct regard for taste, is a much
more pleasing object than superior
mentality clothed with a slovenly-appareled
body.
It may be a bare-faced Injustice that
honest worth should be cold-shouldered
because of badly-blacked boots or
helter-skelter dress, but the fact re
mains. Neither man nor woman can
afford to offend the taste of their as
sociates by a display of eccentricity.
Orderly arrangement, neatness in de
tail, and a regard ior me aemanua oi
the ocasion can hardly be overrated
as a recommendation that is of practi
cal use. Disregard of style and suita
bleness in dress and manners denotes
either ignorance, carelessness, intel
lectual narrowness, or a contempt for
the opinions of the associates.
Especially does a husband owe It to
his wife to so array himself as not to
cause lier to feel ashamed of him; yet
many husbands thus daily mortify the

Ta nak Cleth Waterpreek
In answer to sovoral Inquiries on
this subject, I givo two" recipes, copied
from an exchange. Treated by these
methods, the cloth is said to shed rain
as well as tho rubber garment, to bo
equally as pliable, and qulto inexpen
sive Hero aro the recipes:
First Procure two metal vcsbcIs of
about three gallons capacity, each; in
one, place 10 pounds of sulphato of
alumina cut In thin slices; in the
other, four pounds oleic acid and threo
quarts of alcohol. Thoroughly dia
solvo the latter compound and stir it
with a wooden 'stick, for twenty min
utes, gradually adding tho sulphate
of alumina. This is then loft to stand
fox about tweMty-four hours to settle.
Tho oleic acid and tho alcohol will
then bo at tho surfaco, and can bo
poured off; tho remaining deposit
should bo strained through a flannel
cloth and pressed into a cake. This
can bo dried by heat, and ground into
a powder. For use, on silk or linen
rraterial, three-fourths of a pound to
ten gallons of water will bo ample;
for woollen, one-half pound to ten gal
lons of water will be sufficient Strain
the solutions, saturate tho fabrics
thoroughly, and dry in tho open air.
Second For an over, or driving coat
four yards of unbleached muslin will
bo sufficient. Make tho garment very
simple, without lining, and do not sow
on tho buttons. A pattern may be ob
tained from a linen duster. To make
It waterproof, take two quarts of raw
linseed oil and melt in it one pound
of beeswax, and when scalding-hot,
saturate tho cloth thoroughly in it;
when dry, rub outside and inside with
boiled linseed oil. For work about the
farm, in rainy weather, make a gar
ment like a shirt, only shorter, reach
ing but a few inches bolow the waist
Iido; fasten tho whole length of the
front with buttons and button-holes;
If a dark color is wanted, use denims
instead of unbleached muslin. A wa
terproof apron to wear about the
hoiiBo should be fitted to the form
with gores, and treated with the mix
ture. The above quantity Is for a
largo overcoat 4
For That "Tired FeeJln.M
For "that tired feeling," when it is
due more to brain fatigue than physi
cal exertion, there are exercises that
win promptly relieve. Put on a loose
garment and stand at an open win-
uom. uena iorwara tin tne ungers
nearly touch the floor, and rise again
slowly. Repeat the movement eight
or ten times and then rest for a while.
Then, with a dumb-bell In each hand.
bend forward again until tho bells
reach tho floor. This should be re
peated the same number of times. If
the exercise does not fatigue, it is
wonderfully invigorating. Take deep
breaths between each movement, in
order to Inflate tin lungs thoroughly.
Deep breathing alone is decidedly en
ergizing, and when it Is performed
slowly and properly, it acts as a tonic
by displacing the worn-out, vitiated
air in the lungs and filling up the cav
ity with fresh life-giving oxygen. Ex.

Microbes.
To many people, life, and especially

of microbes. The fact Is, that there
