" ETOT A MIRACLE 3nnt Plain Cauiu and Effect. v There are some quite remarkable a things happening every day , which T seem almost miraculous. tl Some persons would not believe that tlh tlu a man could suffer from coffee drinkIng - h Ing so severely as to cause spells of un f ; consciousness. And to find complete tl relief In changing from coffee to Pos- tlsi tum is well worth recording. si "I used to be a great coffee drinker , sir < so much so that it was killing me by inches. My heart became so weak I would fall and lie unconscious for an s < foour at a time. The spells caught me b ; sometimes two or three times a day. k " .My friends , and even the doctor , kP1 told me it was drinking coffee that P1h ; caused the trouble. I would not be S ( Hove it. and still drank coffee until I tl could not leave my room. "Then my doctor , who drinks Post um ftiimself. persuaded me to stop coffee C ( and try Postum. Afrer much hesitation b : I concluded to try it. That was eight ct 19 -months ago. Since then I have had but t.l few of those spells , none for more than 01 four months. 01t : t "I feel better , sleep better and am H batter every way. I now drink nothing K but Postum and touch no coffee , and to as I am seventy years of age all my tl : friccds think the improvement quite re markable. " ' "There's a Reason.

Coughs , colds , pneumonia , consumption and all other diseases of the air j'ass- ages are principally induced by breath ing foul air. The window tent supplies fresh outdoor air to breathe and at Ihe same time permits the body to be In a warm room. The head is accustomed to the cold , and in very cold weather an ordinary woman's knit hood nuiy be worn to protect the ears and cheeks. During the night and when asleep the tissues are repaired and the brain and nerve cells are recharged with energy. Pure air is the great factor in repair work. Consumption and catarrh in their early stages can be cured by breathing fresh air night and day. Gold and silver nets and. trimmings are to be very much employed for evening trimming , especially silver , and the thin silver laces and nets will be much in evidence. All sorts of lovely sashes , arranged in many diverse lines , will be si factor of evening gowns , and often a simple evening frock will be decorated with a rich sash , or a brilliant frock toned down by one in black or some dark tone , although as a rule the evening sashes are light and brilliant. The brocade evening gown laid in deep plait about a pointed bodice and laced down the'back ' in quaint and awk- first wrinkle. Gray hairs may be tolerated erated , ; often their framing softens the" complexion , giving depth and brightness to the eyes that flash beneath them , an.l many a plain face has been glorified when crownetf by the sheen of silver tresses. The fading tints of a v.vll- groomed skin are easily concealed by the artifices familiar to every woman , but a wrinkle is obstinate , a disagree able , aggressive witness , that bears evi dence ot" age in unpicluresqtie language , as convincing as the family Bible. liJ : nmj IScaiity Iilv. To heal an open cut apply alum wa ter twice a day. A drink of warm saire tea will often soothe a restless child. Half a teaspoonful of lime water will usually cure colic and hiccough. To bathe tired eyes in water as hot as one can bear will give great relief. For a scald or burn apply immedi ately puherized cliarcoal and linseed oil. Orange juice with cracked ice can often be taken by a patient who can retain nothing else. To cure sleeplessness take a cupful of hot Indian meal gruel just beur.v retiring. Sip it slowly. Wiien tired out and hm:3i take a cup of hot soup for quick refreshment rather than tea or coffee. Never leave a patient's untasted food by his or her side from meal to meal. 1L will destroy the appetite. Bathn the face and hands of a fev erish person in warm water that ha a bit of common soda dissolved in it. Too rich food and not enough exer cise is responsible for many bloodshot eyes , while too little sleep often has the same effect. Egg shampoo is well enough , but it is said to make the hair dry. Nothing is better than soap and water , provid- of self-direction. She is a person of. im portance and she knows U. She qni''t- ly assumes that she is somebody.

It is a very dark dye of Bcauvais , but there is niii-h more black to the present shade. ' "Dusky blue' ' might best characterize it. and yet there is great indication of the smoke cok r. too. The ( one is uni- vert > silh brooming and seems to go with anything. In the new velvets and vel veteens it is adorable. To render the hats vf this sh.xde more soft in tone the milliners are putting a covering of mousseline the same shade of felt or sjlk. Aii ear ; * way to wash and iron hand kerchiefs. Overworked mothers , try this way : Collect handkerchiefs and put a coupie of stitches through the cor ners of all.

Very pretty negligees of kimono liape are developed of black or white sin-spotted foulard silk , with border nnds of light blue , emerald green or ? risc taffeta , or of wide ribbon divided i rough the center , the cut edge run n to the edge of the garment and then irned backward , so that the selvage Ige will supply a finishing on the up- Lvr side.

The Abominable "Wrinkle. Nothing is more fatal to a woman's ? ace of mind than the discovery of her ed the soap is a good sort and especial ly made for the purpose. Coffee burning on a hot stove cover , carried about a sickroom , will disin fect and purify the air and kill any unpleasant odor that may exist. An excellent preventive against scar let fever or diphtheria in their season is to give a child a small pinch of sul phur every night and morning. Never stand or sit with the arms folded. By so doing the shoulders nat urally slip fm'wfnl. the chest becomes Hat. and deep breathing which is one of the essentials to health and good looks is impaired. Itcnio * isig Color Milns. The despair of the home laundress is the garment which has become stained by a color which has run out of an other one when they were all washed together or when a moist garment has been worn over another and imparted its color. The garment should be put at once into a large vessel of cold water for twelve hours and then allowed to dry in the sun. Pritlso for lite American \Vomaii. The American husband is the best in the world and his wife the- happiest woman in the world , according to Rev. Dr. Charles F. Aked. pastor of the Fifth Avenue Church , New York , who came to.this country a year or so ago from England. "The American woman has less drudgery and more leisure than any other woman. She has more money to spend and better things on which to spend it. She has more freedom , inde pendence , more power of initiative and original , the effective hand work , in a i c bold design , used oh the bodice being e done in silk to match. The skirt was i long and trailing , and was finished by j a a shaped applied fold.

What to do with these children is now the prob lem that confronts the city. The Board of Education says that it cannot le- j gaily furnish food , but is willing to ' provide ioo > ms and equipment to enable - | . able any philanthropic person , or or ganization , to relieve the distress. .Many are opposed to the idea of giving free meals to children at 'school , believing that the proper course is to enter the homes of the people where destitution exists and relieve it thc.re. They urge the argument that if the child who at tends school is underfed the same con dition , even perhaps to greater extent , applies to the younger children re maining at home. The problem is a serious one , and calls for quick solu tion. Some of the conditions found by the imesligating committee were most pitiable. Hundreds of mothers , the re port says , often go to bed hungry in order that their children may have something to eat next morning. This self-denial is habitual heroism in sev eral districts of the poor. Fathers out of work have been found who were regular beneficiaries of the free lunch counters in saloons , while their fami lies went lutugry. Children have been found on South Water street , faint with hunger , beg ging for dead fowl in the crates or for decayed fruit. They have been seen feasting on remnants of food from gar bage boxes in alleys and in a few in stances clutching at crusts of bread thrown away by other children at school. In 9-10 homes children were found be ing raised in places unfit for human habitation. The city is filled with de serted wives with large families. Chil dren were found who did not know the taste of butter and to whom the taste { of meat was but a memory. MYSTEEIOTTS OMAHA MURDER. Charles E. Davis Is Held for the Killing oi Dr. Rustin. After a five days' hearing Charley Edward Davis has been held on tha charge of shooting Dr. Frederick Rns- tin of Omaha early on the morning oC Sept. 2. Bail was fixed at $10.000 and \\vis furnished. Mrs. llice , who said * slit had a suicidecompact with Rustin , was a principal witness against Davis. Dr. Rustin was a married man in love with Mrs. Rice. lie was heavily in debt and believed the only thing for him to do was to commit suicide in such a way as not to invalidate his insurance. According to Mrs. Rice ha convinced her that she ought to kill him and then commit suicide. She tried , but her nerve failed. Then , she says , the doctor met Davis , who also wanted to die. The doctor , according to her. gave Davis poison with which to commit suicide , in consideration for which Davis agreed to shoot the doc tor that night. I Davis admitted everything ( even the taking of the poison ) except the agree ment to kill and the actual killing. Davis' attorney tried to convince the court that Mrs. Itice did the killing. - * . & OLLEfiES Hamline University , of St. Paul , has raised $10,000 for a gymnasium and ex pects to double this sum.
