For Illfirh-Heeled Slices.
High heels on shoes and slippers lost
their favor with the women simply be
cause they found they could.not xvear
them without
spraining or injur
ing the ankle. Shoe
makers know that
the high-heeled shoe
is much preferred
to the low heel In
fact , the higher the
heel the more It is
HEEL ATTACHMENT ] jcei. A Virginia
woman claims that any high-heeled
shoe or slipper , especially , can be made
perfectly safe for the wearer by the
Introduction of a small supporting
plate placed inside the shoe , close to
the heel. This plate is of metal and
curved to conform to the heel of the
foot of the wearer. It is pfaced in
the shoe In combination with the sole ,
the plate lying under the heel and ex
tending upward at each side , ending in
a T , which engages the side of the foot
Immediately below the ankle.
"Women True to Themselves.
Mr. John M. Coulter , head of the
department of botany of the Chicago
University , who with his wife and chil
dren was on the ill-fated Republic ,
says that the heroic conduct of the
women was something that can never
be forgotten. When the order came
to put on life preservers the women
put them on as coolly as If they were
shirt waists. There was no fainting ,
no panic and they even joked among
themselves to conceal any fear they
might have as they adjusted the un
usual preservers. They conducted
themselves , he says , in a manner to
make one forever proud of American
womanhood. It gave one an under
standing of the nobility of woman's
nature , he declared , that docs not pre
sent itself often in an ordinary life
time.
Handsome Afternoon Costume.
Ohiffon broadcloth , in a delightful
rfhade of brown , was used for a cos
tume suitable for informal luncheons ,
mutlnee. etc. , and from which our
Sketch was made. It employs the pop
ular tunic effect In front with long
trained skirt. The short-walsted
bodice Is elaborately trimmed with
navy Russian lace , and the entire
tight long sleeves are made from allover -
over lace , matching In design that used
on the hodice. The finish at hand is
a band of sable. A white-faced brown
satin hat and sable muff complete the
Costume.
A Candy Pull.
A nice party to haJFe Is a candy pull.
When inviting the guests ask each
to bring an apron.
Boil the candy for an hour. It had
better he put on before the guests come.
While waiting for the candy to cook
a lively game of cards may be played ,
such as 4pit" or "old maid. "
When the candy is all pulled put It
on a marble slab to harden.
Refreshments may now he served.
After this a game or two of charades
nay be played.
Purpose of Exereiwe.
Exercise should be taken to increase
flie circulation and tissue change ; to
Stimulate the elimination of waste prod
ucts ; to develop the muscles ; to pro
mote healthy action of the digestive
organs , and to clear the brain and
head , thus fitting us to do more work
and better work than we would other
wise be Able to perform.
Put Thought Into Menln.
One mother of growing sons learned
almost too late the folly of so catering
to an Individual peculiarity. The hus
band and father liked neither soups ,
flessert , fish nor srvlad , and the family
meals consisted of a dreary round of
meat , coffee and a vegeuuble. Then the
mother found that her WJ's , dissatis
fied with such plain fare , were seeking
a more varied menu in restaurants and
gay hotels , with none too desirable com
panions.
It pays every housekeeper , if only to
spare herself family grumbling , to put
more thought than she does into order
ing the meals. If systematized it takes
little time , even in a busy life , to pro
vide more varied cooking , and the trou
ble pays from an ethical as well as
health standpoint.
Shot velvets In wonderful two-toned
effects are high in favor.
Wide tulle strings finish the hat de
signed for the picturesque girl.
Corded silks are making up waists
for street coat and skirt suits.
Jet butterfly buckles are the latest
and daintiest things for slippers.
With the black tailored costumes
gold embroidery Is In great favor.
The popularity of suede Is waning
and richer colors are In evidence.
Embroidery in heavy worsted or silk
Is employed on manjT new cloth gowns.
The butter howl shape hat is still
shown and threatens to stay another
year.
Women , young and old , are wearing
jet Jewelry with gowns black and
white.
Nowadays nearly all women wear jabots
bets and among the prettiest is the
grandfather frill.
Open-meshed stockings are now lit
tle favored , filet net in lisle and silk
being the rage.
Royal blue , golden brown , mulberry
and maize are fashionable colors in
high-class costumes.
Embroidery dots of various sizes are
used In dainty ties. . The dots may be
white or a color.
Nearly all of the hats are rnaue
without bandeau , and must be worn
with the flat hair dressing.
Thin wools , which make up into
charming bouse gowns , are found in
all the fashionable shades and tones.
Bracelets are being worn again in
quantities and this year they need not
match in design , size or material.
There Is nothing newer in veils than
the dlrectoire veil and ruff combined.
The veil Is drawn Into a band of rib
bon around the throat or ends in a
thick ruff made of the veiling.
The breakfast cap is a dainty fad
of fashionable women. It Is of lace
of the finest quality , hand embroider
ed , and Is ornamented with a nosegay
of old-fashioned flowers made of rib
bons.
Costs Less to Feed Women.
In a small Philadelphia restaurant
that caters to persons on economy bent
the bill of fare Is headed by this no
tice : "Regular dinner Men , 25 cents ;
women , 15 cents. " "How Is this ? "
asked a chance customer belonging to
the sex most heavily taxed. "You
charge us fellows 10 cents more than
you do the women. What have we
done that we should be so discriminat
ed against ? " "You eat more , " was the
plain rejoinder. "It doesn't cost near
ly so much to feed women as men ,
but we are the first concern in this
part of town that has been brave
enough to say so in plain print. Many
foreign restaurants have recognized
that fact , and have regulated their
charges accordingly. "
Sardon'a Opinion of Women.
"I have the highest opinion of the
fair sex. I consider women superior
to men In almost everything ; they pos
sess the intuitive faculty to an extra
ordinary degree , and may almost al
ways be trusted to do the right thing
in the right place. They are full of
noble instincts , and. though heavily
handicapped by fate , come well out of
every ordeal. You have but to turn to
history to realize the truth of what I
say. " The Strand Magazine.
Keeping the feet warm and dry will

A glass of hot water before break

Spirits of camphor dries up fever
blisters when they are just commenc

Warts and weJis are sometimes cured
by rubbing them two or three times
dally with an Irish potato. Cut off one
end of the potato and rub the tumor
with the pared surface. After each
operation remove a slice of the potato.
If the cuticle about your nails seems
tough and there is a tendency to "hang
nails , " rub in a little vaseline or cold
cream every night before retiring. Soon
you will see a marked Improvement In
the condition of the nails.
The worried housekeeper should go
out on the veranda for a few moments ,
take several full breaths of fresh air ,
shake the stiffness from fingers , wrists ,
elbows and all other joints of the body ,
stretch , yawn , smile and laugh if pos
sible a good , deep , muscular laugh.
Takes Pessimistic "Vlvr.
Prof. Hagerty , of the University of
Ohio , said at the meeting of the So
ciological Society in Washington re
cently that educated women did not
marry as early in life as women used
to , that they had fewer children and
the offspring are not as strong. The
State has taken care of the education
of the child , the kitchen is practically
the only survival of the old Industrial
aspect of the home , children being thus
relieved of household duties. The re
sult , along with the tendency to live
In boarding houses and flats , tends to
destroy the solidarity of the home with
out any apparent advantage.
Charming1 Combing : Jacket.
Rather longer In the body than the
usual run of such garments is this fas
cinating combing jacket , , made from
embroidered crepe de chine. There is
no .trimming save two silk frogs for
closing purposes. China silk , challls or
silk muslin with lining , would also
serve for this piece of daintiness.
Protect tlie Finder.
- , Everj- woman who sews or embroid
ers objects to the roughened first finger
of the left hand , which seems impos
sible not to prick. Not only is the \
'
roughened edge unsightly , but it catches
on the work , especially when doing j
silk embroidery , and is almost impos
sible to keep clean. There is a new
protector for this finger that seems to
protect without getting In the way of
the sewer. It Is made in a specially
prepared glass that does not blunt the
needle , conies in several sizes and , best
of all , Is cheap enough for every sewer
to own.
Reducing : Flesli.
Whatever else fashion hints there la
not the slightest rumor that flesh Is to
be stylish in the near future. There
fore women who are not thin are keep
ing up all kinds of methods to make
them so. Live on noodles , is the cry.
Consequently this diet Is strictly kept
by women who are willing to sacrifice
anything to be thin. The latest remedy ,
however , Is to drink camomile tea with
out sugar , an hour after eating. Thla
is said to cure the most rebellious case
and turn one of barrel shaped proportions
tions into sylphlike lines.
To Clean Shield * .
Many think It is impossible to wash
dress shields In other than cold water.
They should first be dampened with
cold water and covered with white
soap rubbed Into the covering. Put
them into a basin and pour very warm
water over them and let them stand
until the water begins to cool , then
scrub with a stiff brush. Rinse In cold
water and let them gradually dry away
from artificial heat. Do not attempt
to press them.
Dry Scalp Causes Gray Hair.
Nothing will so quickly cause the
hair to turn gray"as an absence of
nourishing oils , and it is for this rea
son that tonics containing such Ingred
ients are invaluable. When there is a
decided tendency to whiteness a formu
la that has.been found useful , If mas
saged nightly Into the head , is one
dram each of terebone , borax and sul
phur and six ounces of lavender water.
Homemade Clothes Hanger.
Excellent shirt waist and coat hang
ers can be made by cutting small barrel
beeps in two. Half-barrel hoops are
the best. Wrap the hoop with cambric
and fasten In the center of same a loop
or wire to hang It up wltii. The ad
vantage of these over the wire ones IP
that they do not crease the garments.

be found and a report was sent out
that it had been blown from the tracks
near Baucum. The officials of the rail

tion of several important railroads.
A tornado hit Fourche dam , five
miles from Little Rock , at 5 o'clock in
the afternoon , killing a negro boy and
injuring other negroes. Two houses
were demolished and one was consumed
by fire after it had been blown to bits.
The tornado crossed the Arkansas
River at Fourche dam and raised a
spout of water about 200 feet high. It
traveled toward the northeast and
swept a path about sixty yards wide.
The wind was followed by a violent
hail and rain storm.
The same tornado passed into Bau
cum and from there to Kerr , .Lonoke
County , where several homes were de
molished and E. B. Adams , a farmer ,
was seriously injured. He , with his
wife , son and three others , was in the
house at the time. They were buriefl
In the debris. The home of , Dan Wag
ner , a sawmill operator , also was de
stroyed , but he and his wife escaped
with a few bruises. A gin and several
negro cabins were demolished.

between Gurdon and Roster were blown
out. At Malvern the Methodist Church
was destroyed at a loss of $0,000. The

DIGNITY 02P OWNEKSHIP.
The Fcullnv of grille That Is
of Payinar Taxes.
"Many a time , " said a policeman lit
the southern part of the city , "whec >
arresting men , especially intoxicated :
men , I have been told by my prisoner
that he was a taxpayer and that h&
helped pny ray wages.
"I always regarded this sort of back
talk as merely druuken insolence and
never paid much attention to It until
abqut a year ago , when I bought a-
house and lot and became myself a tax
payer. I had always rented before-
and ncrer gave a thought to taxes , but
as SO H as I moved Into my own house
I begas to appreciate the feelings of
men who resented arrest because they
paid taxes.
"There is certainly a considerable ad-
dltian t the dignity of the man who-
helps support the government. H0
feels a degree of responsibility that a
renter or reoxicr never understands ,
and my idea la that every man in the-
country ought to become a taxpayer
as sows as he can. And the mere fact
that he floes help support the govern
ment and bears his share of the ex
pense makes him a better citizen. . '

DIDN'T SEALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really TVa * .
Many persons go on drinking coffee-
year after year without realizing that
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug caffeine in coffee and tea.
is very like uric acid and is often the-
cause of rheumatic attacks which , when
coffee is used habitually , become-
? hronic.
A Washington lady said recently :
"I am sixty-five and have had a good-
deal of experience with coffee. I con
sider It very injurious and the cause-
of many diseases. I am sure It causes-
decay of teeth in children.
"When I drank coffee I . had sick :
spells and still did not realize that
coffee could be so harmful , till about
a year ago I had rheumatism in iny-
arms and fingers , got so nervous I
could not sleep and was all run down.
"At last , after finding that medicines *
did me no good , I decided to quit cof
fee entirely and try Postum. After
using it six mouths I fully recoveredL
my health beyond all expectations , can.
sleep sound and my rheumatism Is alL
gone. " "There's a Reason. "
