SELF DELUSION.
Many People Deceived by Coffee.
We like to detend our indigencies
and habits oven though wo may bo
convinced of thoir actual harmfulness.
A mau can convince himself that
whiskey is good for him on a cold
morning, or beer on a hot summer day
when ho wants tho whiskey or beer.
It's the tanio with coffee. Thou
sands of pcoplo suffer headache and
nervousness ear after year but try to
persuade themselves tho cause is not
coffee because they liko coffee.
"While yet a child I commenced
using coffee airi continued it," writes
a Wis. man, "until I was a regular
coffee fiend. I diank it every morning
and in consequence had a blinding
headache nearly everyafternoon.
"My folks thought it was coffee that
ailed me, bi-t I liked it and would not
admit it was the cause of my troublo,
so I stuck to coffao and the hoadaches
stuck to me.
"Finally, the folks stopped buying
coffee and brought homo somo Postum.
They made it light (directions on
pkg.) and told mo to see what differ
euro It would mako with my head, and
during that first week on Postum my
old affliction did not bother me once.
From that day to this wo have used
nothing but Postum In place of coffee
headaches aro a thing of tho past
and the whole family Is In fine health."
"Toatum looks good, smells good,
ta&refl good, is good, and does good to
tho whole body."

AS comfortablo and easy hanging
as a morning gown but with eVory
mark of afternoon apparel, this de
sign is the simplest of all Interpre
tations of our present modes. The
skirt and bodice appear to be cut in
one, but are separate.
The skirt, made of two pieces in
goods of average width, might bo
draped on tho figure from a single
width of the widest materials. It is
shaped In at the hips and thero is. a
little fullness at the back. ' The shap
ing and gathers afford just room
enough for the swell of the figuro at
the hips.
The waist line is high and very
easy in order to make a free move
ment of the arms possible. It Is cut
with long shoulders and largo arms
eyes. Tho fullness at the bust Is ta
ken care of by a group df plaits at
each side terminating under the belt.
It is In its careful finishing touches
that tho gown displays the talent of
its noted designer. All very simple
models must rely upon finish and clev
erness in cut or drapery, to rise out
of tho class of (he commonplace.
The square neck Is shaped and fin
ished with a piping of velvet. The
front is cut Into a double breast, tho
overlapping sldo fastened down with
two buttons; Its lower edgo lies over
tho top of tho skirt whore bodice and
skirt aro joined.
A narrow belt, with rounded ends,
is finished with a piping and fastened
DRESSING THE BABY
WHEN HE GOES OUT
IN COLD WEATHER
THE baby must have his airing
every day no matter if tho weath
er be sharp. He must bo thoroughly
protected against tho cold and never
allowed to get chilled.
Besides the clothes he wears in tho
house he is to be provided with ar
ticles which ho will need to fortify
him against tho cold. If ho is dressed
in tho right way a jaunt in tho open
air can do hlra nothing but good and
ho will like It and thrive on it
An extra flannel skirt and long soft
woolen stockings Bhould be added to
tho clothes he wears in tho houso,
when ho Is going out, at this tlmo of
tho year. His littlo boots of yarn are
to bo worn ovor tho stockings. IIIb
mittens of silk and wool are knitted
doublo, and his littlo cap is very
closely knitted of tho softest yarn.
fn making tho cap It is not only
closely knitted but made large enough
so that it turns back at the front.
This g'ves additional warmth, and as
with a fancy button at each end. It
does not encircle all of the waist, al
lowing a Btralght front appearance
(which Is smart and clever) in tho
interval between tho ends.
There Is a small turnover collar In
the sailor shnpo, of fine embroidered
batiste. The neck is filled In with c
folded chemisette of fine figured net.
A plaited ruffle of tho same not fin
Ishes the sleeves.
A strand of large pearls and a long'
er one of smaller pearls finishes tho
pretty toilette. But pearls might bo
replaced with strands of nny of tho
many fashionable glass beads that
harmonize with tho gown in color.
This model is well adapted to tho
unusual now shades in which fashion
able fabrlcB are made. Mustard col
or, gold, green, paprika, mahogany
and tho curious blues and greens' that
aro displayed In cloth and silk look
best when made up in tho simplest
manner. But the design Is good in
the colors which we know well, such
as royal blue, amethyst, golden brown
and dark green. It would bo pretty
developed In black, and Is an especial
ly good model for velvet.
Colonial slippers and silk stockings
aro worn with it, and such a dress
calls for a simplo and well dressed
coiffure. Like all simple things it will
not grow tiresome to tho wearer, and
might bo UBed dally during tho reign
of our easy going fashions.
JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
ho grows largor rapidly, allows tho
cap to bo turned back less, so that ho
may wear it for some time. Narrow
ribbon run through It at tho nnpo of
tho peck ties In a little bow at the
back. This allows tho cap to bo ad
justed to tho tiny head and let out
afterward as needed. The ties aro
either of narrow ribbon or soft mull.
A small close-fitting silk cap may bo
worn under tho knitted cap.
Ills little boots and shoes aro often
made of flannel embroidered with silk
and laced with ribbon. They are cut
out of a pattern and aro soft and
pretty. Knitted or crocheted boots aro
made with quite long tops for the
baby's outing, and fastened with soft
crochet cord and smnll zephyr tassels
at tho ankle.
When his head and hands and feet
huvo been protected, ho lias the added
comfort of his coat. Finally he Is
tucked into his carriage under a robo
of fur or eiderdown and tho top ad
justed to protect him from tho wind
if thero Is any.
Tho baby is cometimes kopt loo
vurm in tho house, and Is fretful on
this account. In stcum heated apart
ments particularly, ho will not need a
lot of flannels. Ho must alwaya.wear
his band over tho bowels, but a P'n"
nlng blanket Is not needed. Ho wears
n flannel petticoat and a light slip.
Hut for a house not so warm, or when
he goes out, ho must have an amplo
supply of extra clothing.
His dresses and skirts aro not made
as long as they used to bo. Twenty
seven inches now is tho standard
length. They aro not much trimmed,
but aro mudo of very fine materials
and flnUhud with ilno lace edgings,
little tucks, small sprayH of hand ow
broidery nnd scallops. Feather stitch
ing is much admired. One who lenous
how to sew nicely can make all his be
longings in tho best manner at home.

WONDERFUL GROWTH OF

The Cities of Western Canada

MAINTAINING AN EARTH ROAD

sldo ditches which havo grown up wltlj
bushes and weeds in many caBeB, and;
which aro so far from tho traveled,
part of tho road that tho lain water,
does not drain into thom. That partj
of tho roadway whoro tho wagons trnv
el is called tho travolod way. To pre
vent water from standing on tho trav
clod way tho road should bo raised lr
tho contor and should slope gently inj

cald to havo a crown. It it Is ton
foot from tho center of tho road to
tho sldo ditch, the surface at tho sldq
ditch should at loast bo ton Inches
lower than It is at tho center wherq
tho horses travel. Tho road then haij
a ten-Inch crown. Tho rnln that falls
on a road properly crowned will run
quickly to tho aldo and not eoak into
tho surface or form pools. Tho sldo
dltchos for surface wator Bhould run,
parallel to tho right of way, and Bhould
bo open at every low point so that
tho wator can run out of them Into
neighboring brooks or strenms. If tkq
ditches merely collect tho wator from
tho road surface and it can not run,
away, large pools will bo formed along
tho roadsldo, which will gradually
Boak into tho soil beneath the road
and mako It so soft that tho wheels ot
the wagonB wlll cut through tho road
surface and soon destroy It.
Sometimes water runs from land
along thu road Into tho road and
forms a little stream down tho wheel
tracks or lu the mlddlo whero tho
horses travel. When drlvownys Into
farmyards aro built across tho sldo
ditches they frequently form channels
for water from tho farmyard to run
Into tho road. Tho pipes under drlvo
rubblsh and tho water can no longer
run away. It tho driveways that stop
the ditch water wore rebuilt so that
no plpeB weru necessary nnd tho ditch
could be left opon, much troublo from
surfaco water would bo Btopped.
Sometimes a road runs across low
ground or through u swamp whoro thu
road cannot bo drained by fsldo ditches
alono. If tho road wero built higher
llko a railroad embankment ncrosB
such low laud and made with a crown,
it would bo dry and hard, Sometimes
a road passes through what is called
a cut. This is a placo whero tho earth
has been dug out so that tho road can
go over a hill without being too Btcup.
The water which always flows quietly
undor tho ground on hill sides is
known as ground water. In road cuts
Buch water sometimes makes tho road
very muddy, and tho road then needs
what road builders call underdraln
age. A good kind of undordralnago la
a trench to go along undor tho sldo
drain and about three feet deep and
a foot and a half wldo. In this trench
n pipe is laid near the bottom and cov
ered with looso stones no biggor than
an egg. When tho trench is com
pletely filled with looso stonos tho
ground water, Instead of soaking into
tho roadway, will stop among tho
stones and flow down the hill through
tho pipe.
To keep a road smooth and crown
ed tho best method 1b to drng it with
ax road drng. A road drag is mado
eaHlly with two halves of a log which
tins been split.
CONCRETE AND GRAVEL ROADS
Time Will Come 'When Permanency
In Thoroughfares Will Be More
Highly Appreciated Than Now.
A prominent good roads advocate be
longing to tho American association
says: "It is a waste of tlmo to build
roada of anything hotter than gravel
and not bo good as concroto." By
which ho means thnt If tho road Is to
to bo anything less than absolutely
permanent, It should he ot gravel or
plain earth. One thing is suio, the au
tomobiles aro putting maradam roads
In tho category of things which will
not do, says tho Baltimore American.
Concroto roads built over 20 years
ago huvo been kept in repair undor
country-town conditions at an annual
oxpenso rate of 515 a mile, and aro
Btlll bettor than any macadam road
Is likely to bo In one-tenth the tlmo
in this ago of rubber tired vehicles.
The Ideal road would ' seem to bo a
narrow concroto loadway with earth
or gravel ways at (ho sides. The mo
tor cars will follow tho coucinte, and
In ordinary going the drivers who con
sider their lioraHc' icet willkoup on
tho pleasautcr and softnr track at tho
side. In bad weather all could use tho
narrow concreto rondway with earth
gravel road should run alongaldo every
macadam, brick or concreto way It
keops teams off thn motor path and
makes pleasantor going for both horso
and horseman. The tlmo will como
whon permanency in our roads will
bo more highly appreciated and work
