THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. Up-to-Date Tailored Gown of Serge I " ..I --- ' Jm7 A street suit, cut on conservative ines, which manages to bo up to tho minute In its stylo, deserves more than, a passing glance. Tho attrac tive' suit shown here accomplishes these things and compels attention be cause of Us excellence. There is ev ery reason for buying good material In suits that must stand much wear, and every reason to expect them to outlast a single season and como In bandy for "knockabout" wear a sec and season. In tho suit pictured, made of serge, Iho skirt is moderately wide with tho fullness laid In broad plaits at each aide. It is a little longer than ankle length and finished with a three-inch hem. It is cut with a high waist line, to be worn without a belt, and is fitted about tho hips. Tho jacket js cut with straight lines liko a box coat and is confined in a high waist line by a narrow belt of the material. The front shows a small cutaway with a little "V'-shaped vest et in, having Its point at tho bust line. There are no rovers, but the aeck is finished with a collar of silk, wired to roll gracefully. Tho belt fastens with a plain metal buckle and 1b cut at the front to sim ulate two Ilttlo pockets with flap fas tening. These are finished with a small metal button. Three of tho same kind of buttons finish tho narrow turned-back cuffs that are outlined with a piping of the serge. When tho material for a suit ofthls kind is bought It is a good idea to buy an extra yard, so that when the time for altering or remodeling comes this will be available for changes In stylo and the replacing of cuffs, collar or sleeves. 'Worn with this comfortable street suit are equally comfortable and smart low shoes over which tan-colored spats appear. In summer weather these are left off. The strictly tailored sailor hat with black crown and sand colored brim is trimmed with cnbo chon of barnyard straw set over flat loops of ribbon., Useful Hint. When a tio or ribbon becomes wrinkled or creased it may in a min ute bo made as smooth and as fresh as new by slightly dampening the wrinkled spot and then wrapping the tlo or ribbon around a clean, lighted electric bulb. Bonnetlike Hats Popular for Children Although so great a variety 'of shapes has been designed for children, thoso that suggest the bonnet have outdistanced all others in point of popularity. Dut Ilttlo variations In shapo, and clover new ideas In trim ming, savo theso pretty and childish bits of headwear from becoming mo notonous. Two of tho best Ideas In trimming are shown in the picture given hero. In the bonnet at the left, the crown is sloping, higher at the front, and the brim curves up both at tho back and front, suggesting tho poke bonnet of blessed memory. It Is trimmed with white ribbon having a plcot edgo In covlor and buds made of satin, with long stems trimmed In a wreath ef fect about tho hat. A bow of the rib bon Is posed at the front and tucked Hat to the crown. The shape at tho right Is a famil iar "miiBhroom" model of hemp braid pressed with ridges qyer tho crown, extending from front to back and from side to side. These are placed In the shapo by way of variety and add nothing to its attraction. Daisies, Juno roses and forget-me-nots form a wreath for trimming, and behind oach daisy a length of ribbon in brown or some other dark color is folded and sowed to tho lint, resting both on tho crown and brim. These shapes come in all colors and are held to tho head with elastic cord which is concealed by the hair. Many of the prettiest hats for' mid summer wear have been made of point d'esprit or plain not shirred over wire frames. Others are of net draped over light-colored silk, and fine swiss embroidery is used in tho samo way. Frills of lace or not made of flnor side plaltlngs form the brims and fall prettily about the face. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Grapes Are Chic As usual in tho spring of tho year, tho fruit of tho vino appeals to fash Ion. Grapes nro immensely chic, not only on spring millinery, but in the form of corsage ornaments on cv'o nlng gowns. A lovely Ilttlo. danco frock of whlto tullo over sliver green pussy willow silk has bunches of pale, translucent grapes on tho shoulders, and nt tho girdle. Very smart, on tho other hand, is n spring turban of black mllan trimmed with black and green grapes and black velvet loaves. With UiIb hat 1b worn an entirely new veil of sheer black mesh appllqued with green and bronze velvet leaves. The pattern is so delicately applied, ar.d bo soft in color t'jat tho effect la very beautlfu' An Appeal to Students !Dr REV. HOWARD W.POPE SupCTUtradcul of Mca, Moody Bills Int&ut S ol Chicago TUXT-Study to show thyself approved unto God. II Timothy 2:15. Mr. Glndstono was once asked what was tho leading question in England at that tlmo. Ho, re plied that thcrd was but one lead ing question at that time, or at any tlmo, and that was the question of ono's relation to tho Lord Jesus Christ. Ho. then went on to say that tho brainiest men woro thoso who paid most at tention to this subject. "1 have known personally nil tho men who have boen prominent in England dur ing the last fifty years, In business, politics, or literature, and of tho sixty most prominont men, fifty-four have been professing Christians." If Mr. Gladstono was right, and it tho question of oiio'b relation to Christ is tho leading question which confronts a student, it is very impor tant that ho settle It early. Indeed this question lies at the basis of all educa tion. What is the real object of edu cation? It 1b to Increuse ono's ca pacity to know God, and to make him known to others. This Is what educa tion Is for, what life is for. "And this is life eternal that they should know theo tho only truo God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent" (John 17:3). I. Tho keenest delight of which Svo aro capable comes to us from know ing God. When tho dovout astrono mer Kepler made his great discovery, ho exclaimed, "O God, I think thy thoughts after thee." There Is no greater Joy than this, unless It be that of seeing God's character reproduced In our lives. If this be true, then edu cation is not optional with us, but Imperative. We are bound to cultivate every talent which wo possess, bo cause each Is an avenuo .through which God can reveal himself to us. Wo aro bound to open every window of our soul "towards Jerusalem," and let In tho light of God's glorious' truth. 1 II. Tho superior advantages which students enjoy make it doubly impor tant that they should becomo ac quainted early with the Lord Jesus. Education enlarges ono's cnpaclty to see and foresee, to dond to undo. It multiplies his influence, and thus .in creases his responsibility, sinco tho welfare of others depends upon his action and attitude. No educated per son can possibly live a Chrlstless life without leading others to do tho samo. This consideration should have great weight. A professor in a largo mili tary school recently told tho writer that it was the thought of his influ ence with tho boys which led him to decide for God and put himself on rec ord aB a Christian. III. Again, tho peculiar temptations which confront a student make an ac quaintance with Jesus indispensable. Among theso may bo mentioned: ' (a) Tho freedom from homo re straint. Tho Btrong, steadying hand of tho father and the indescribable In fluence of tho mother is lacking. Thoro Is no younger brother or sister to bo considered, not even tho restraining influence of someone else's sister. Tho consequence Is that ono grows selfish and comes to think that all tho world was made for him. (b) Tho petty vices which prevail so commonly among students. By tho side of tho writer in college sat tho valedictorian of the oloss. He was a well-disposed man, but he had no religious principles. When othrs drank ho was not strong enough to refuse. After graduation he studied law and became ono of tho most bril liant and promising lawyers in the state. Temptations npw grew stronger and moro frequent, and having no ac quaintance with him "who is nble to savo to tho uttermost," and "able to keep you from falling," he soon loBt his standing and business, and died a common drunkard. (c) Not the least of the dangers which confront a student is tho temp tation to doubt. Ho lives in an atmos phere of inquiry and criticism. Old theories arp being laid aside and now facts aro constantly being discovered. Possibly he sees somo of his instruc tors, for whose ability ho has tho high est respect, utterly Indifferent to tho claims of tho Gospel. Llternturo is full of covert sneers at religion. He is Just at tho ago when his critical facul ties nro being developed, and ho ho gins to question everything which ho once believed. Add to this tho nntural willingness of tho heart to havo it bo, and you havo a combination of cir cumstances,, calculated to shako tho strongest faith. Some, Indeed, think It a sign of superior Intellect to doubt, but thlB is a mistuko. It Is sometimes a sign of spiritual blindness, and often of moral obliquity. A largo part of the skepticism of students la of Iho heart rather than of the head, Idlo men temjit tho devil to tempt them. Spurgeon.

Judge Martin, as a young lawyer and on first arrival In Chicago, thought himself fortunnto In gaining an Intro duction to Judge Gary tho Gary who tried tho anarchists. Tho Judge took a shlno to tho young chap and pro posed a gamo of billiards, wherein Martin mndo a technical error that ho remembered for Iqng. Gary played an old man's gamo, and Martin then as now, was particularly handy with a cuo. Picture a contest of thirty-four points with four balls on a 416 by 9 table.' Tho judge (barely bending), with a childish bridgo and a nerve less stroke, missed his first shot Mar tin, in 8hlrtslcovo8fc crouched over tho tablo liko a Jockey piloting a winner, and applied hlniBelf to rolling up a run. Ho had counted fifteen or twen ty whon ho turned and saw tho Judgo disappearing' through the door and moving with rufllod dignity. Somber Possibility.

Tho knowlcdgo she picked up at school; tho phraso re garding tho cat she heard cither from somo oldor child or from oomo cure less oldor. "Mother, what does f-a-t spell?" sho asked tho other night, on coming homo from school. "Why, 'fat,' my troar," replied tho mother. "And what does h-e-r spoil?" camo tho second Inquiry.

Pure Food Expert Investigates Grape-Nuts Before Grape-Nuts was included in the Pure Food Directory of the New York Globe, the publishers sent their expert, Alfred W.JVlcCann, to get the facts about this famous cereal food what it is made of, how it is made, and whether or not too much had been claimed for it. The makers have always held that Grape-Nuts is a body and brain building food; that it contains the vital mineral elements lacking in white flour, and foods made from white flour; that it digests more readily than any other prepared cereal food, etc- McCann came to Battle Creek at the Globe's expense. He investigated had the run of the factory up-stairs, down-stairs and all over the place. In the N. Y. Globe of April 1, 1915, he said: ' "Any man who can go to Battle Creek and come away with the statement that he is not amazed is given to the habit of bearing false witness against his neighbor. "I watched the delivery of the wheat to the Grape-Nuts bakery. ,It was selected wheat too. I watched the mills grind this wheat, and there was no patent flour stunt pulled off in grinding it, either. The wheat went right through the rolls and came out as honest and as unrefined as when it went in. I saw this wheat mixed with barley malt in a mixing room "that is a model of cleanliness. "Grape-Nuts is an honest, genuine, wholesome, good, fool- proof breakfast food, i . "Grape-Nuts is all Post ever claimed for it. Instead of over-estimating the truth he didn't tell ten percent of it." There you have it! If you want to know more, write Alfred W. McCann, care N. Y. Globe, N. Y, or come to Battle Creek and see for yourself. There's no mystery about Grape-Nuts. This wonderful food DOES build body, brain and nerve tissue. It DOES furnish the vital mineral phosphates usually lacking in the daily dietary. It is easily digestible, economical, and comes ready to eat, fresh and delicious.
