I suf fered for months with pencr."l weak ness, nnd felt bo weary that 1 had hard work to keep up. I had shooting pains, nnd was utterly miserable. In my dis tress I was advised to use Lydia E.

Chaffee's Shoulder Straps. The first shoulder straps with tho three stars of tho lieutenant General that General Chaffee will wear after the scnato confirms him in his now Grade will bo a pair presented to him by Lieutenant General Young, who retired recently With tho straps General Young cent this note: "Pri vate Young, Company K, Twelfth Pennsylvania volunteer infantry, pre sents his compliments to Private Chaffee, Troop K, Sixth United States cavalry, and aska him to accept this pair of lieutenant general'3 shoulder straps." Financier and Mirthmaker. American financiers who, when in London, have had occasion to meet the urbane, yet extremely business liko secretary of the Bank of England, were surprised to learn the other day that in his leisure ho wrote stories that fairly bubbled over with tho spirit of childhood. Between Mr. K. Gra hame, important factor in tho manage ment of "Tho Old Lady of Thread needle Street," and Kcnnth Graharae. author of "Tho Golden Age" and "Dream Days," there would seem to be the wldo gulf existing between poet and banker always excepting my old friend, Edmund Clarence Stedman. If the nttempt of a lunatic to assassinate the hank secretary had not drawn wide attention to that financial factotum, with consequent publication of his bi ography, the fact that mirthmaker and money handler wore one person would have been known only to a chosen few. DR. FED HIMSELF. Found the Food that Saved His Life. A good old family physician with a lifetime experience In saving peoplo finally .found himself sick unto death. Medicines failed and but let him tell his own story. "For the first time in my life of slxty-ono yeurs I am Impelled to pub IJcly t'clfy to the value of a largely advertised artlclo and I certainly would not pen these lines except that, what soems to mo a direct act of. Providence, saved my life and I am Impressed that It Is a bounden duty to make it known. "For 3 years I kept falling with stomach and liver disorders until I was reduced 70 lbs. from my nor mal weight. When I got too low to treat myself, 3 of my associate physi cians advised mo to 'put my houso in order' for I would bo quickly going tho way o all mankind. Just about that timo I was put on a diet of Grape Nuts predigested food. Curiously onough it quickly began to build rao up, appetite returned and in 15 days 1 gained C lbs. That startod my re turn to health aud really saved my life. "A physician is naturally prejudiced against writing such a kttor, but In this cnao I am willing to declare it from tho housotop3 that tho multi plied thousands who aro now suffering as I did can find rollof and health as ''easily and promptly by Grape-Nuts. If thoy only knew what to do. SInceroly and Fraternally yours." Name of this prominent physician furnished by Po3 turn Co., Battle Crook, Mich.

The skirt is plaited and joined to a yoko at sides and hack that avoids all bulk over the hips. 4610 Military Coat, 32 to 40 bust. 42G0 TucKod 1'laltud Skirt, 22 to 30 waict. ,' To make the coat fdr a woman of medium size will bo required 4V4 yards of material -II or 3 yards 52 inches wide, to make tho skirt 5U yards 44 or G yards C2 inches wldo. A May Manton pattern of the coat No. 4610, sizes 32 to 40 or of skirt No. 4260, sizes 22 to 30, will be mailed to any address on receipt of ten cents for each. Appropriate Jewelry for Mourners. Women in mourning hnvo so long been denied the wearing of jowelry of any sort that they will welcome tho now Jet novelties which fashion de crees as appropriate for them. Jet buckles for belts and lints, hat pins of jet and pins and chains of jot have taken tho place of tho dull black beads aud other accessories so popu lar a few months ago. Nor aro these jet tilings to bo worn only by thoso in mourning, for they aro much in favor with women who wear black on occasions, hoeau&e it is becoming. Misses' Shirt Waist. Long shoulder effects always nre be coming to young girls and are seen in the latest models for odd waists as well as frocks and coats. This stylish shirtwaist includes a novel yoke collar that gives the de sired drooping line and also a narrow vest effect at the front. As illustrat ed it is mado of white mercerized vesting and is un lined, but all waist ing materials arc appropriate a n d 4G27 Misfits' Bhlrt Waist, 12 to 10 years the fitted foundation can be used whenever desirable. At the neck is a fancy slock and deep, point ed cuffs finish the sleeves. When a plainer waist is desired the yoke collar can he omitted and the waist made with yoko fronts and plain back as puown 'p. the Brni! out, Tho waist consists of tho fitted foun dation, fronts, back and yoke collar. Tho fronts nro gathered at their upper edges and again at the waist lino and meet the yoko, but tho back is plain across the shoulders. Tho yoko collar is quite separute and is arranged over tho waist, the closing being made in visibly. Tho sleeves are the favorite ones that form full puffs below the el bows and aro finished with deop, point ed cuffs. Tho quantity of material roquirod for the modlum sizo Is 4V yards 21 inches wldo, 3& yards 27 inchos wldo or 2 yards 44 inches wide. The pattorn 4627 is cut In sizos for misses of 12, 14 and 1G years of ago. Jewel Trimmed Lace. Laco Is tho fashion of the moment, and is by no means Inexpensive wear, says a writer in Home Chat. I have recontly seen some dollghtful little laeo ties for wearing with n fur coat; some are roady mado up In bowg, oth ers are not; for Just as some mon pro- for to tie thoir own evening; bows, mi do many women like to arrango their ' neck adornment for tliomselvos. For ' winter wear these ties and volls of I lace are dear wear, for thoy must be absolutely fresh, and even a day's wear in London's foggy ntmosphero takes their first charm nway. Some of the prettiest evening gowns In the shops have long lnco sashes, while for tho shoulders any number of dainty scarves of lace arc to be seen in fine design, sometimes decorated with rib bon or Jewel work, and Just ns often lert plain. I think that laco adorned is more or less spoiled, nnd most laco lovers will agree with me. There nre, however, numbers of people who liko to "gild refined gold," and to them tho bejewelcd varieties of lace will appeal Beautiful Table Linens. Tho array of beautiful table linens shown this season Is simply bewilder ing. Center pieces and doileys, which come In setB of from cmo dozen to three dozen, nro shown in grass linen with heavily embroidered white silk borders in Chinese design upon spaces of drawn work. For general wear tho Irish embroid ered linens nre unequnled nnd In good taste. Tho mosaic effect seems to bo n new feature in tho drawn work, and Ib very neat and dainty. In some In stances the pattern is worked about a design in fruit and flowers, and these uro outlined in silk. Child's Tucked Frock. Wee tots nro always charming in frocks of dainty material simply made. Tho very pretty little model shown is tucked to form a yoke nnd can be fin ished plain or with the bertha as pre ferred. The original is made of lino nainsook with trim ming of embroid ery, but nil fabrics used for the dress es of little children aro appropriate. With the bertha the frock becomes suited to dress oc casions, without it 4G20 Child's TucVed Frock, 1 to 4 year. Is adapted to the hours of piny and to simpler materials. The dress consists of front and hack, the tuckn forming the yoke.'with full sleeves that aro tucked above tho elbows in conformity with the latest style. The bertha is circular and ar ranged over tho dress on indicated lines nnd ut the lower edge Is a gath ered frill. The quantity of material roquirod for the medium size (2 years) is 3 yards 27 inches wide, 204 yards 32 inches wldo or 2 yards 44 inchos wide, with 5 ynrds of insertion to trim ns illustrated in tho medium size. The pattern 4628 is cut In sizes for children of 1, 2 and 4 years of age. Collar and Cuff Cases. Fancy cases for turnover collars and cuffs are long, wide enough for the widest of the cuffs and collars, and fold together in two folds like a glove case, only the two sides nro mounted upon firm pastoboard so that they aro stiff. Sachet cotton is put over tho pasteboard, and covering of brocade is added. Firm straps of rub ber across tho sides at the onds and In tho middle, nnd under these rub bers the collars nnd cuffs are slipped and held fiat nnd smooth. Ribbons tie the enso and the amount of orna mentation depends upon tho taste of the maker, but the cases, offered in the shops, while pretty, are plain. They undoubtedly fill a much-felt want. Girdles Now Show Many Buckles. Girdles in suede, with long buckles back and front, aro extremely popular. The draped girdles of natin, silk or cloth havo buckles on each side, us well as in the back and front. These buckles are connected with tiny chains which reach from ono to the other. Handsome Jeweled buttons are used instead of buckles on some of tho smartest belts. Leather belts in tan, green and red are handsome. Elastic bolts of various widths aro in favor, as are also kid belts, which can be em broidered or hand painted by the In genious maid or matron. Cleaning Lacee. Delicate white laces may be cleaned by laying them smoothly on white paper and covering them with mag nesia; put another paper over this, and placo thorn betwoen tho leaves ol a book for several days.

There la n strong Indication that through tho czar's personal acts the peace party Is completely in tho ascendant. M. llezobrnzoff, tho head of tho war party, has gono abroad; Foreign Minister Lnmsdorf, who from tho be ginning hns favored pcuco, Is now completely rehabilitated, and Viceroy Aloxieff has been mado subservient to the foreign olllco In tho Russo-Japanese negotiations. His extensive pow ers nro curtailed and ho can make no move without tho czar's personal approval. In fact tho fresh instances convoyed through Ambassador Cnsslni to the authorities at Washington of the recognition of the rights acquired by the Chlneso treaty Is largely at tributed to Count Latnsdort'B In fluence. Diplomatic circles consider Count Lamsdorf'B accession of power ns a hopeful sign. M. WItte, council of state, has been counseling peace. At' tho recent council of state, M.
