HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Celts#.
Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble. The reaeon la obvious.
TTiia is a serious matter to the hue
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear onee. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an un
expected thing and can be corrected
if taken in time and properly treated.
A man in Colorado writes:
“I was a great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware of the
injurious effects of the habit till I be
came a practical Invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myeelf and
a nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
“I continued to drink Coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ill health, till, on applying
for life insurance I was rejected on
account of the trouble with my heart.
Then I became alarmed. I found that
leaving off coffee helped me quickly,
so I quit it altogether and having
been attracted by the advertisements
of Postum Food Coffee I began its use.
“The change in my condition wa*
remarkable, and It was not long till
I was completely cured. All my ail
ments vanished. My digestion was
completely restored, my nervousness
disappeared, and, most important of
all, my heart steadied down and
came normal, and on a second exami
nation I was accepted by the life In
surance Co. Quitting Coffee and us
ing Postum worked the cure.” Name

Velvet Chrysanthemums.
Select velvet ribbon, secoqd size, in
the desired color, and if possible with
different shadings of the color, to be
as natural as possible. Cut the ribbon
into five pieces two and a half inches
long; fold each piece of ribbon in half
and gather the five pieces together,
fastening the Joined ends firmly by a
wire. The loose ends should be cut in
a point. Now cut ten pieces three
and a half inches long. Fold as be
fore and fasten them around the cen
ter petals. Add as many more petals
as necessary, making each succeed
ing row a trifle longer than the
last, until the flower Is large enough.
If the flower is to have the stiff ap
pearance of the real chrysanthemunv,
double pieces of velvet must be used
for each petal and a fine wire thrust
between the two ribbons. The satin
side of the petal Is lightly covered
with photographers’ paste, a wire laid
down the center, and the upper rib
bon firmly pressed on It, velvet -side
up, of course. Before the paste has ,
quite dried, run the ribboq up on the
wire, thus getting that crinkly effect
of the chrysanthemum. Only a few
of the petals need to be treated in this
way to gain a stiff effect. Narrow
liberty satin ribbon In the desired
shades is effective.—Montreal Herald.
For Formal Affairs.
Here Is an ideal suggestion for a
dressy afternoon gown. The material
employed is pale gray collenne and
the skirt is made with a single box
plait in front and back, with groups
of side plaits over the hips. A de
cidedly novel and attractive Jacket
opens on the shoulders and Is Joined
by narrow straps of the material and
tiny cut-steel buttons, matching those
used at the closing down front. This
is worn over a rich blouse of embroid
ered batiste, whose sleeves are formed
of four flounces of embroidery. The
chic little turban is pale gray Nea
politan, with black velvet baud and
a bunch of white tips.
Attractive In White Flannel.
Blouse of white flannel made with
' groups of stitched plaits fastened with
little 6traps of the material and but
tons. The center plait and the col
lar are also ornamented with buttons.
The sleeves are full at the top, fitted
below, and trimmed like the blouse.
Making Velvet New.
Velvet cannot be sponged or pressed
or even dipped in gasoline, and unless
you thoroughly understand the proper
method of cleaning it you had better
not make the attempt, but send it to
some cleaner.
There is one means by which it can
be accomplished successfully at home.
Try water and spirits of ammonia in
equal quantities, and rub the velvet
with a brush dipped in the liquid. In
doing this be very particular that It
does not become soaked ia any one
spot. When all stains have been re
moved raise the pile of the velvet by
holding it over a hot flatiron on which
a wet cloth has been folded.
Use a brush very lightly for those
places that are too much flattened for
the iron alone to renovate them.
Here’s a New Japanese Fad.
A decorative and useful fabric for
which there is a growing demand and
for which we are indebted to the Jap
anese is the grass cloth used for cov
ering walls. This comes In all the
standard colors, is a yard wide, and
costs $4 for a roll of eight yards.
The general effect when on the wall
is very much that of burlap, except
that It Is of finer weave and has al
most a glossy appearance. It is made
of Chinese grass, which is woven in
the same manner as a loose weave
cloth or woolen goods.
A very thin coating of rice paper is
pasted, with Infinite care on the back
of the cloth lo give it body, and also
to make it possible to attach it to a
wall, the grass cloth itself being of
such a fiber that it will not hold paste.
Linen Shirt Waists.
Shirt waists of heavy linen will be
worn all winter, in place of the lin
gerie blouses, which are so evidently
not the character of these severer
styles.
Following in the wake of cashmere, ;
which was surprisingly popular last
winter—surprising because it had
been out so long—henrietta promises
to be high in favor for dresses and
shirt waist suits and a hundred and
one uses.
The shaggy stuffs, which went out
with a bang a year ago, seem likely
to stay out indefinitely, although it’s
a long way too early to prophesy
about so definite a winter material
canned Beets.
Select medium sized beets, cook un
til/tender and remove the skins while
still hot. Put the whole beets in
glass jars with one teaspoonful of
granulated sugar, fill the jars with
cold vinegar and seal them tight.
Spices can be added when they are
served if desired. Being whole, the
beets can be served in any form.
Hare’* a Pretty Scheme.
A clever little device for concealing
the collar bones of the 'hin girl, at
I the same time giving her the satis
faction of a decollete neck, is to cut
the gown with a point instead of with
the regulation round neck. The “V*'
should start about three inches above
the collar bones, quite concealing
those ugly “salt cellars” which make
life—and full dress—a misery to the
bony. The “V” may often be bordered
with black velvet ribbon with excel
lent effect. A deep point of the kind
indicated conHes quite low enough to
be considered decollete, while it merci
fully hides defects and looks pretty
at the same time.
udoir <§P**
nSidences
All tailor-made dresses have velvet
collars and cuffs.
Hats are growing sensibly larger,
with a hint of higher crowns.
With dresses of soft tan, pearl gray
and the palest champagnes, Ion*
gloves of exactly the same shades are
worn, Instead of white.
Even bathing suits show the strong
influence of checks upon summer
styles. For check taffeta-^black and
white—make some stunning suits.
Rose color seema coming to the fore
for light cloth tailor-made dresses.
And it is extremely effective with the
sheer blouses that everybody is wear
ing.
Voile Is Afl the Go.
The popular material is voile of so
sheer a quality as to closely resemble
chiffon. It Is striped, waved, checked,
dotted and embroidered in all the deli
cate shades, and it almost invariably
made over white taffeta. In dark col
ors—dark blues and browns are
shown, and these are also made over
white and trimmed usually with taf
feta of the same color as the gown.
The girdles are of the voile, tightly
drawn. Soft silk, an entirely new fab
ric resembling eolienne, is another
popular material. It comes in all col
ors and is either checked, striped or
dotted. Taffetas are striped and of
light weight
Rjpply Summer Capes.
As pretty a fashion as courts fresh
country breezes in swell turnouts on
sunny afternoons is th6 little capo of
cloth or silk worn with a muslin frock
and matching in color the sash, hat
and parasol.
It is a girlish style, just suited to
dainty, youthful get-ups. These little
capes, very svelte about the neck and
over the shoulders, and very ripply,
just like the skirts, as the tops of the
arms, are made of chiffon broadcloth
or of taffeta, and are lined with the
thinnest silk, white or a pale tint.
The necks have flat finishes, usually
ending iu a V or U at the front.
Sometimes the front are quite open,
just held together with a strap or two.
These little capes come In good play
for an early evening walk or a cool
afternoon promenade.
i
Pudding bags should be made of
heavy jean.
Never wash raisins that are to be
used in sweet dishes. It will make
the pudding or cake heavy.
A few drops of glycerin put in the
fruit jars the last thing before sealing
them helps to keep preserves from
molding on top.
Rancid butter, boiled in water with
a pinch of charcoal, will be divested
of its rancidity and may be used for
cooking purposes.
Silver should cot be put in woolen
bags, as the sulphur in this cloth tar
nishes the metal and neither should
rubber be placed near silver.
STREET GOWNS FROM PARIS.
The gown at the left Is of mauve taf
feta. The full skirt, slightly draped in
front, is trimmed at the bottom with
ruches of the material forming a fancy
design. The blouse is almost covered
with a large shoulder collar, composed
of shaped ruffles of the silk edged with
mauve velvet and headed by bands of
It is finished around the slighHy low
neck with the velvet fastened with loops
and buckles. This velvet also borders
the fronts opening over a frill, of lace,
then crosses below, the ends fastened
with buckles to the wide corslet girdle,
which is also of velvet.
The sleeves, puffed and draped, are fin
ished at the elbows with bands of the vel
vet and lach ruffles.
The other gown Is of black cloth. The
skirt is made of box plaits which open
out toward the bottom, where it is en
circled with two bands of the material.
Hie ends turned back on each side of the
front and fastened with buttons.
The jacket with basque is plaited at
the shoulders and draped in front, where
it is ornamented with straps of the ma
terial and buttons.
The turn-over collar and the girdle are
of black velvet, the former edged with a
lace ruffle. The chemisette is of linen
with cravat of green silk. T’e
sleeves are tucked crosswise at the top,
form box plaits on the outside and are
finished at the bottom with bands of the
material, cuffs of velvet and face rufflea.
The addition of lemon juice to the
water in which rice is boiled will in
crease the Uhiteness and the grains
will readily separate thus treated.
Sweetmeat Pudding.
Take one ounce each of orange peel,
lemon peel and citron. Slice them
very thin. Llpe a dish with puff paste,
lay the peel at the bottom, mix the
yolks of seven eggs with the whites
of two eggs, adding five ounces of
sugar. Pour it over the sweetmeats.
Put it into an oven well heated and
bake thirty-flve minutes.
Attractive Simple Bodice.
Tokio crepe and insertion form this
attractive bodice for a young girl.
The yoke fits firmly over the shoul
ders apd allows a becoming blouse
without unbecoming fullness about the
neck, while a long puff and tight cuff
effect a smart sleeve. The round
neck has been provided for in the
pattern, and, if one desires, the entire
yoke and long sleeves can be discard
ed, short puffs taking the place of the
latter, and a deep bertha replacing to
a certain extent the former. Meslin
ette in dull blue, mousseline in gray,
or crepe leda in rose, are suggested as
appropriate materials, while among
thin fabrics Egyptian tissue and silk
mull will be found effective.
For the Summer Hop.
Among a collection of gowns worn
by a popular belle at Newport is oiip
for evening functions made of pale
green eolicnne. Tiny ruffles of white
lace and green velvet ribbon run from
shoulder to waistline, on each side of
the decollete waist, which has a front
of silver embroidered green silk and
ruffles of lace at set intervals. Small
ruffles of lace form the shoulder caps
of sleeves and a band of embroidered
silk serves as a finish. Self-tone chif
fon velvet is used for the girdle. A
cluster of lace ruffles is set in at each
seam at foot of circular skirt.
Useful for Outing.
A cotTee-colored pongee is a useful
thing to buy for an outing. It is made
with full skirt laid in three or four
deep tucks around the foot. There
are embroidered dots in navy blue and
there is a deal of English eyelet work.
Big holes are profusely embroidered
in blue wash silk. A deep blue silk
petticoat is worn underneath the
dress, letting the color show through.
The waist is a mass of tucking and
navy blue embroidery.
Orange Sirup.
Select Well ripened, juicy oranges
and grate the outside peel from them.
Cut up the fruit and press out the
juice, and to each quart of orange
juice add one pint of water and six
pounds of sugar with one-half of the
grated peel. Set over the fire, stirring
well, and gently simmer until the
sngar is dissolved. Strain and set
away in a cold place for use.
To Renovate Tulle.
Crushed tulle can be made as
fresh as new by steaming it. Do not
let it become moist, but when -thor
oughly steamed wrap it in a dry towel
and then expose it to the air.
ON TORPEDO CRAFT
LITTLE COMFORT IN SAILING
WASPS OF THE SEA.
Cramped Quarters and Intense Heat
Make Life Almost Intolerable When
the Hatches Have to Be Closed on
Account of Heavy Seas.
Each of the torpedo craft carries
a crew of from sixty to seventy men,
and when one considers the size of
the space in which it is necessary
for these men to move about in op
erating the powerful yet intricate ma
chinery and find sleeping space also,
one must marvel at the life aboard
a vessel of this class.
To live in quarters the size of an
ordinary dry goods box is not the life
that the everyday American cares to
essay. To endure such life for hours
at a stretch without sleep or food,
and to stand exposed in all climates—
such ts life aboard a torpedo craft for
officers and men alike. There is no
discrimination; that is why one sees
beardless faces and slender figures be
hind the conning towers when these
long, turee and four stacked flyers
run into port for coal and water at
frequent intervals, which is necessary
on account of their limited space foi
carrying these necessities. In the
comparatively smooth water of harbor
the torpedo boats look very much like
the motor racers in disguise, but they
are far from being the pleasure craft
that the autoboats are. and they gc
where the helmsman of a motor boat
would mot dare to venture.
The ocean is the place to see the
torpedo boat under way. and then life
on board the craft can be seen in its
true light. Sticking their bows into
the long, green swells, the spray flying
above the signal staffs forward and
the solid green water washing the low
decks continually, is hut one picture
of life on the rolling deep in a mere
shell of a boat. In the harbor and
when as sea in fair weather the tor
pedo boats run with hatches open,
the commanding officer stands on
watch clear of the forward conning
tower, and the crew lounge on deck,
hut when the little craft begins to roll
and plunge in the seaway the hatches
are closed, and, barring the stump
smokestacks the vessels resemble
baby whales at play. It ie then that
tne crew suffer most while at sea.
All must remain below decks, or place
themselves in jeopardy. To venture
above waile the vessel is plunging
about the sea with decks awash would
be extremely hazardous. Sometimes
the Japanese steward will essay to
climb along the deck from stern to
the forward hatch with a smoking
dish clasped tightly in his hands. He
is in a race with the seas. If he
reaches his destination forward he is
lucky. If the seas get there first the
fishes get the food.
In the event the seas overtake him
then he has to scramble back to the
galley and await another chance. This
is an amusing incident of life aboard,
to watch the steward essay the trip
forward in rough weather.
Intense heat prevails below decks
when the craft is under way, with
hatches closed, and the humidity is
one of the inconveniences to which
the crew of a torpedo boat is sub
jected, and is one of the most objec
tionable features of life aboard the
torpedo craft, as the heat is oppres
sive and fearful at times, with all
four boilers under full draught and
ponderous engines throbbing and pul
sating at full speed of perhaps twenty
five or thirty knots.— (Chicago News.)
A Fixture.
After the old Scandinavian divini
ties had been ejected from their
stronghold In the north there was a
farewell family gathering among the
roots of the ash tree Yggdrasil at
which various plans for the future
were discussed. “Wall,” said the ser
pent Midgardsorm. whieh had former
ly twined around the earth, "it doesn't
make any difference to me what the
rest of you are going to do, but I’ve
got a permanent job among the very
best people.” “Some vulgar dime mu
seum,” sneered Thor, whor as is usual
with people who carry a hammer, was
an habitual knocker. “Dime muse
um!” hissed Migardsorm. “Well, I
gueea not! I'm to be the only original
pea serpent.” And she glided out
toward the summer resort district and
proceeded to hunt up a press agent.
Large and Respectable.
The deacon of a south side church
who is noted alike for his excessive
waist line and for his strict attend
ance at church functions, left home to
attend a business meeting of the
church directors on a rainy evening
recently, but returned home within an
hour.
“Guess you did not have a very big
meeting to-night,” suggested his wife,
who is not so enthusiastic as her hus
band over religious matters.
"There were but two of us present,
the janitor and myself.” responded her
husband, “but we bad a large and re
spectable gathering. Yes,” he added,
after noting the inquiring expression
on his wife’s face, “I am large and the
Janitor is infinitely respectable.”—

make it compulsory at a given period.
Countries Trade Territory.
France has just given the parish of
Neville-aux-Tonneaux to Belgium, and
that nation has abandoned Riezes to
France, the latter country gaining
about seventy square yards of terri
tory by the transaction.

Start of British Museum.
The British museum took its start
from a bequest of Sir Hans Slocum,

The collection was given Into the Brit

Gratitude Well Expressed.
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Aug. 14th.—
Mr. C. L. Smith, painter and decora
tor, whose home is at 309 Anne street,
this city, makes the following state
ment:
"I was laid up with some kind of
pains. Sotne said it was Lumbago,
other Sciatica and others again Rheiv
matiam. A few of my friends sug
gested that it was lead pdison, but
whatever it was it gave me a great
deal of pain; in fact, almost complete
ly crippled me. I had to use two
canea to walk about, and even thee it
was a very painful task.
"A friend advised me to try DodTs
Kidney Piila and I began the treat
ment. After I had used the first box I
was able to throw away cne of tke
canes and was considerably improved.
The second box straightened me up eo
that I could go about free from patn
