New thing" that grow without aunsntne are per fect' or beautiful, and children as well a grown-ups need tho purifying, mo tiving and healing power ot the sun light. The borne that baa the drawn cur tains that exclude the light will bo the howe where nervousness, ill tem per and general ill health sfe found. The sunlight Is the beet germicide known, aad it should flood our homes. JCeen the windows open In the day or the sua and at night for the pure pweei air. touting the hot weather ' house well aired in the morning and then oloaed through the beat of tha day, will always be cool and comfor table. Helpful Hints. If you have occasion to use a very large roast, perhaps you don't know that it Is a good idea to roast It rather rare the flrst day, then cut off what la wanted and roast it again. When cooking bass, try this method one used by a well-known chef: Thoroughly scrape, and dry the flab. fill with several slicea of bacon that bave been' dripped in chopped oalotv and parsley, then seasoned with pep- Ier ana eaic wind the Ash with string and fry or broil for 30 minutes, lerve with melted butter and lemon. To keep greens fresh, wash and drain ttiem and place In a largo Jar or kettle, which may be covered tightly, and If kept in a cool place until need ed, the greens will keep crisp and fresh for several days.

Doctor Osier, tho great medical au thorlty says: "Tho euro for consump tion or tuberculosis Is a question ot nu trition; make a person grow fat and the local dlseaso may be left to tako caro of Itself." To force the body to take on fat la tho nroat problem, then, as tho wolght Is increased tho strength and vitality Is also Increased. A method tried and proven more than satisfactory is that ot drinking tho last milk or Htrlpplngs from the cow. Of courso, choice ot a cow la most Important; one that gives milk rich in cream and wholly free from tuberculoB taint Tho mothod or taking tho milk Is simple, but must be carefully followed in order to reap tho reward. Tho last quart is milkod into a dish which is surrounded by hot wator In ordor to nsuro tho milk from cooling. Tha froth Is blown back and tho milk drunk without straining, as that will wJU cool it too much. At flrst it is not easy to drink a quart, but after a week or two It is easily done, and patients aftor a short treatment gain nearly a pound a day. This milk taken warm Into the empty stomach is absorbed, in a vory short time. The patient will then take tho regular meala in addition to the milk, those roods which agree. Such treatment may be taken at home. The price ot a good cow is not to be mentioned with expensive trips to sanitariums or a chango ot climate. Those who object to milk will take It as a medicine, and later grow fond of it The prescribed treatment is a quart night and morning. It is easy on a farm to take this treatment; but many have tried it and found it most satisfactory evon in a city. This same diet is equally offlcaclous in increasing the weight and strength when debilitated from othor causes. It is woll to romombor that milk is not a boverage, but a food, and should be taken iu sips, a llttlo at a 'time, to avoid making hard indlgostlblo curds in the ntomach. Too Few Elopements In England. "What wo want in England Is moro olbpemcntB. It pcoplo would only got married thoy would, In nlno cases out of ton, llvo happily ever aftor, where as it they wait they end In parting." This unusual point ot vlow is takon by Mrs. York-Mlllor, tho Anglo-Amort-can authoress. Sho was discussing a recently de cided case in which a girl sued a man tor breach ot promise after being en gaged to hlra for six yean). Nearly all that time they were happy and then came a breaking off ot tho engage ment, with subsequent damagee against the defendant "They should elope and get mar ried," she said, "it is tho way to bo happy. And people should not have long engagements. The time ot the engagement is a trying period that wearr out the patience and retuita In boredom and separation. Yet, prob ably, bad they married their union would have been happy."- London wirror. Now that vacation tlmo approaches the heart begins to long for a llt tlo Journey and the mind busies ltaolf with preparing tho way. Travel ing in America ought to bo a pleasure, and Is, to thoso who know how to mako tho most ot all our modern traveling conveniences, writes Julia Bottoraloy In tho Illustrated Milliner. What "with parlor cars, dining cars and sleeping cars, good ventilation, dust-shlolded windows, comfortable chairs and competent service, n Jour ney is a recreation and rest People no longer burdon themsolves with a lot of luggage, but think out how they may got along with as little us pos sible. This is especially true if tho trip Is to be a long ono and sight seeing ita object The first thing that engages the mind ot tho feminine traveler is, of course, tho matter of her traveling cosiumo and this article will concern lUelf with something of that Although we can't gab ourselves. like Miss Phoebo Snow, "'til clad In w!:llo, etc." we can count upon ti little dust on our Journey ao on tho average shopping excursion. Our mllllnory Is thoroughly protected, bo- cause paper bags are provided by the porter and hats consigned to the rack from start to finish ot the average trip. No dust can reach -them. For traveling, a plain, well-tailored cloth gown ot sorgo, mohair, covort cloth, fancy suiting or other hard- SIMPLE LITTLE WAIST. This simple waist Is of light blue armure silk, trimmed with bands of whlto silk set on with fagoting and ornamented with llttlo gold buttons and loops ot cord. The collar and cuffs aro of em- brolderod linon flnlshod with little ruffles ot tho same. Millinery Help. To rejuvonato last "year's violets, shako all the dust out of tho discard cd buncboa which adorned last year's hats, and even tho most forlorn and faded will respond to tho maglo touch ot tho paint brush. Separate thorn and apply a touch ot wator color to each potnl. Tho rosult Is highly satis factory. When dry mass them togeth er with sovoral groen leaves, which also have been "touched up," tie with a strand ot tulle or a cord ot purple silk and the violets are aa good as new. - Old Night Qewne for Dress Cavers. I havo tor a long tlmo used old muslin night gowns as covers for my best dresses when they hang in the closet They are easier tq get off and on than bags, and cover the gown qulto as well, Hang the dress first on a coat or skirt hanger, then cover it with the night gown, button lng the latter to keep it from falling. Chicago Inter Ocean. finished fabric, Is tho propor garb. It cannot be too plainly mado and must bo well tailored that Is it must have good lining and interlining and bo correctly fitted and finished. Such a gown cannot bo outclassed. Tho fabric should be shrunk beforo it is mado up and it is obviously better to select a waterproofed material than any othor when buying. H cir cumstances compel you to economizes pn your outfit, remember that it is economy to buy fcood material tor your tailored dress and to have it made right It goos without saying that the hat should be pretty becauso all mllllnory should .be that. It should be large enough to shade the eyes and small enough to keep out ot other people's way. It need not bo severely plain, and may oven Indulgo in tho charm of flowers for a moderate amount of traveling. It must havo stylo. Three fine examples aro given hero ot stroet hats suited to this purpose. Street shoes and gloves made for servlco and well fitted are in koop ing with gown and hat. Tan Is tho best color and one may woar a veil to match and carry a bag of the aamo useful and bright color. Tho shirtwaist or blouse may be either of silk or a wash material. A light-weight silk Is roost economical for long Journeys. Fresh Jabots and stock collars make It possible to look lmmaculato at tho end ot tho Journey. TO WEAR ON TAILORED HAT i Quill Trimming, Arranged Artistically, is sure to Find Favor With Smart Dressers. Coming back into prominence and feminine again aftor an absence of several seasons, 1b tho quill or foather trimming. It is very stunning when properly used on tailored chapeaux and gives Its wearer a vory trim and Jaunty appcaranco. One stunning modol noted recontly was of rough black straw, with tho fashionable high crown and tho equal M 1 . . a . . iy lasuionaoie roiling nrim. It waa quite plain and. bare ot any adorn ment, save two groat quills which slantod upright, Btnrtlng from tho back. These were ot tho new coral shndo, changing from a vivid coral in tho cantor to deeper, almost black hue on tho edge. And they gave Just the' noto of color and air ot jauntlnoss which tho hat needed to make it dis tinctly chic. Use Men's Shirt Sets. Girls aro turning to account tha smart shirt buttons in colored onainels that como for men's shirts. Thoy nro. usually six sold to a set. These buttons have a link to thrust through tho eyelet and are held by a patent fastener. When, a girl uses them sho works eyelets Instead oi button-holes in front ot her waist and In tho cuffs. Sometlmoa the buttons aro all used at the back. Some havo colored enamel centers with a rim ot striped two-toned gold; others ot solid enamel In dollcate tones with a design ot gold; again thero are centers of barred enamel with a plain, rim in 4. deoper tone or ot a deep ecru .enamel with a colored rim. ' The Mannluh Blouse. The mannish blouse is not to be dispensed with in the wardrobe ot the well-dressed girl. It is well to have some ot silk, and remember that It fa economy in the end to get a good quality. Get a china silk that is really good and it will outlast three shirts in an interior quality, There is an excellent variety that comes at 91-25 In a thirty-six-inch -width, It is light and cool and yet of enough substance not to be transparent CARTER IS A FIGHTING MAN As Boy In Civil War, Army Com mander Won Recognition for Car rying Message Under Fire. The" official army record ot MaJ, Gem William II. Carter, who was! picked by President Taft to command tho army division assembled at Fort Sam Houston, Tox., gives him tho unique distinction among the major generals of the army of never haying served as a voluntoor, That record docs General Carter nn injustice, how evor, for beforo ho wno thirteen years old ho Joined tho Army of tho Cumberland as a yoluntoor and won recognition for gallantry in action by carrying a messago across tho' front ot tho lino of fire. Tho recognition for that hazardous undertaking camo to him in 1868, when ho was old enough to tako it, in tho form ot an appointment to West Point, liut be cause he was only a schoolboy and not enlisted In tho army, General Carter 1b- denied official record of his servlco in tho Civil war. General Carter was born in Tonnes- ceo and lived thoro until ho Joined tho army. When tho opportunity came to see a llttlo of war, young Carter sllppod out of school ono day and marched oft with tho Army of tho Cumberland. Ho was too young for soldier, but ho did the best be could by carrying messages for tho officers and grabbing a muskot when ever ho could and popporlng away at tho" ConfedorntcB. Tho taste ot fighting that ho had thoro gave him a desiro to follow a military llfo and when his gallantry In action wns, brought to tho notlco ot tho war department ho Immediate ly was offered an appointment to West olnt. Ho wan graduated In 1873, served for a tlmo in tho Eighth in fantry and thon transferred to tho Not a Member Was Hit. cavnlry, which waa moro to his Ilk lng. He Joined the Sixth, which was then stationed in Arizona. Thero ho had plenty of opportunity to Bhow that tcarlossnesB which bad won him commission, and that ho was fully equal to tho occasion Is attested by tho fact that ho wears a modal of honor bestowed by congress for s horolo exploit in tho Apacho cam palgn, where Gen. Leonard Wood, then a young army surgeon, won sim ilar recognition. In a fight on Clblcu crook tho sol diers, leaving several badly wounded men on tho ground behind them, had been driven along to a placo of she! ter by tho Apaches. No sooner wore the troops safely lodged than volun teera wero called to bring In the wounded men. Lleutonant Carter was ono of thoso who voluntoorod and In tho face of a galling flro from tho Indians, who wero protected be hind tho rocks on tho hlllsldo, ho went torth with two companions, and ono by ono brought In the wounded Not long nttor the Clblcu crook tight tho Whlto Mountain Apaches who wore supposedly friendly, left tho reservation and took to tho warpath Fort Apacho, an Isolated post, was cut off by the Indians, and for a week the members ot tho garrison, ot whom Carter was one, fought heroically to hold off tho swarming foe. Death was the least thing feared Thoro wore women in the garrison and this leaves nothing to bo Bald in rurthor explanation ot tho horrorfl4 that would follow capture. During tho slego Lleutonant Carter bore his share of tho vigil and tho fighting, For a week the command managed to hold oft the Apaches, and then aid came and tho troops wero relieved. The arduous service which Captain Carter had gone through In the field brought him a staff appointment in 1897, when he was appointed major and assistant adjutant general. Ho served in. the adjutant general's de partment until 1902, when he was ap pointed a brigadier general in the regular army. Two years before that he had been appointed a brigadier general ot volunteers and in the Phil ippine insurrection he saw bis share ot the fighting in the field. Since then he has served on command ot various departments ot the army. SHE SUFFERED FIVE YEARS Billy Cured by Lydk E.
