Sports hats aro much more femi- nine in chara'dter than for several seasons, Panamaa sport colorful bands, with fringed bow ends, or reflect military colors in stripes, for slipping around the crown upon occasion, College colors seem to have been dropped to recognize the more in- sistent demand for military motifs. Bows and a bit of foliage make their debut decorating sailors and knock-aitbout hats. Vegetable and fruit designs are popular, Colored leather, highly glossed, made into leaf and flower forms for flat applique decorations, vies with white kid or patent leather made foliage for hat trimmings. Ostrich feathers in ironed flat and starched effects are the smartnesses for dressy hat trimmings, Dyed in shaded colors which complement rather than in one -tone effects, are the proper presentment for these. Lemon drop yellow is a new col- or material for taffetas, The color, the material and the mode of com- bining it in panels with chiffon which exactly matches the silk was introduced by Martial -Armand' in a dress showing an unusually made skirt which accepts the modes for this year. The long-sleeved -bodice shows e high, tight -fitting collar, and the sleeves were of chiffon and designed with finger-ti•p reaching cuff flounces. Polonaise styles are sponsored by 'Porth, Premet and Paquin. Watch the development of this mode, for Jenny is the style maker for Paris, and for this season is also favoring puffed overskirt designs. Late styles introduce eiroular skirts to costumes of taffeta or cloth with godet fulness emphasized at either side—allowing .just a little fulness, comparatively speaking, at the front and back, thus accentu- ating the flared silhouette. Bows ' of shirring, smocking or a yoke top provide the required flat appear- ance at the top. Mary dressmakers are designing puffed sleeve 'tops for gowns for both day and evening wear. Those for evening are of sheer transparent materials and are not controlled by bands. For day gowns these additional tops are pos- ed over a full length undersleeve of the costume material. Inspiration would term them epaulet sleeves; in any event, they are a new de- velopment. Premet offers a pink faille after- noon frock which exploits a new skirt trimming. This ie :termed a manuscript hem. It looks like pink wood rolled shaving stitched to the under side of the skirt edge. This latter-day rejuvenation of an old vogue introduces one skirt ex- tender in the form of en insertion of featherbcne placed at the head- ing of the rather wide .ribton-trim- med lace flounce which trims the petticoat. These will be worn beneath the new full skirts, which depend in a measure upon braiding or corded puffs to extend their fulnesses to the desired modish width. Extracted Bullets Owner. The question regarding the own- ership of an extracted bullet at pre- sent is being debated with consider- able vehemence in German. news- papers, and in some law periodi- cals as well. As a rule, a patient likes to retain the bullet extracted from his body as a curiosity. On the other heed, the sturgeon likes to keep it as an illustration of his sue cessful operation, especially in lee turing before medical students or writing to hismedical journal on the subject. A judge in Berlin has decided that a wounded soldier has a perfect right to the bullet that lodged in his body, because, when it reached hint, it was legally subject to no- body's ownership. The enemy re- linquished its ownership in sending the ;bullet forth. This question of no ownership does not give the sur- geon who extracts the ballet any right to it, even if the wounded sol- dier ab the time should be uncon- Schous and unable to assert his claim. Should the surgeon. never- theless retain the bullet extracted by him the soldier haaa good cause for damage against him. Other jurists, however, assert that the enemy does not lose its oevnerehip after the firing of a bul- let; that ammunition belongs to the Stale and not to individual sol- diers, Whoever comesout victor- ious in a battle .has a right to all the ammunition that has been fired and which can be recovered front the wounded or dead. At any rate, no hatter whether the bulls < , t tan an bo considered ownerless or Skate pro- perty no .individual has any right to lay claim ! , it. The debate is being carried on with the greatest amount of seri- ousness by medical and legal au- thorities, whe . have even gone tc tele tremble of looking up; interna- tional lath on •rho suibjeet, BANISH PIMPLES AND ERUPTIONS In the Spring Most People Weed a Tonic Medicine One of the surest signs that the blood is oat of erecter es the ples, unsightly eruptions and ec- zema that come frequently with the change from winter to spring, These prove that the long indoor life of milker has had its effect upon the blood, and that a tonic med2- eine is needed to put it right, In- deed there are Dew people who do not need a tonic ab this season. Bad blood does not merely show itself in disfiguring eruptions. To this same condition is due abbacies of rheumatism and lumbago; the sharp - stabbing pains of sciatica and neuralgia; poor appetite and a desire to avoid exertion. You cannot cure these troubles by tine use of purgative medicines --you need a, tonic, and a tonic only, and among all medicines there is none can equal Dr. Williams Pink Pills for their tonic, life-giving, nerve - restoring powers. Every dose of this 'medicine makes new, ridh blood which drives out impurities, etiinulates every organ and brings a feeling of new health and energy to weak, tired, ailing men, women and children. If you are out of sorts, give this medicine :a trial and see how quiokly it will restore the appetite, revive drooping spirits, and fill your veins with new, health -giving blood. You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by snail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co„ B.+oolcville, Ont. I• Scotsmen's 9,000 Mile Trip. Eleven stalwart Soots arrived in London from Honolulu to join the Kings' new armies. All of them held responsible positions on sugar plantations, the majority being overseers. The party which left Honolulu numbered fourteen, but only eleven reached London, three having join- ed a regiment before reaching Brit- ain. Of the eleven remaining four went north to join the Seaforth Highlanders, two went into the pro- vinces to enlist in the Highland Division of the Royal Engineers, and one, a Welshman, went west- ward to serve in a Welsh regiment. The remaining four, all Scots- men, went to the London Scottish headquarters to join that famous Territorial regiment. Three were enrolled, but the fourth, Mr. Frank Brolan, did not pass the medical test, and was the most disappoint- ed man in London. A man of fine physique, weighing 16 stone, looking the picture of health, Mr. Brolan was passed by two doctors before leaving Hono- lulu. Feeling fit and looking fit, he had travelled about 9,000 miles to fight for his country. ,and had been re- jected. He went lbaek to his sugar plantation. All the members of the party paid their own expenses. d• Naturally Colored Photos. How can I make photographic prints in the true colors of the ori- ginal subject? This question has been asked by every inventor in the photographic field for many, many years. And it remained unanswered until re- cently, when Frederick Eugene Ives, the inventor of the half -tone process of printing and the bhree- oolor half -tone process, took out patents on this new photographic method. The taking of photographs in cod - ors, as invented by Mr. Ives, is said to be so simple that any intel- ligent amateur can master it. Mr. Ives has also invented many de- vices in the field, of applied optics. 5• FIND OUT The Rind of Food That Will Kcep You Well. The true way is to find out what is best to eat and drink, andthen cultivate a taste for those things instead of poisoning ourselves with improper, Indigestible food,. etc. A conservative Eastern woman writes; "I have used Grape -Nuts 5 years for the young and for the aged; in sickness and in health; at first fol- lowing directions carefully, later in a variety �f ways we any taste and judgment suggested, "But its most epeoial, personal benefit has been as a substitute for moat, and served dry with cream `when rheumatic troubles made it important for me to change diet. "Served in this way with the addition of, a sup oaf het Postufii and a little fruit it has been used at my morning meal for six months, during which time my • heaalth has much improved, inerveshave grown steadier, and a gradual. decrease in my excessive weight adds greatly to nay comfort," Name given by 0anadien postmen Co., Windsor, Ont.

SAVED BABY'S LIFE Mrs. Jos. Desrosiers, St, Al- phonse, Que., writes: "I cannot say too much in favor of Baby's Own Tablets, as they saved my little one's life. Before giving him the Tablets he was greatly troubled with worms and was like a skeleton and cried day and night. The Tab- lets soon expelled the worms, and now baby is the picture of 'health." Baby's Own Tablets also break up colds and simple fevers, cure con- stipation and indigestion and make the :teething period painless. They are sold by. medicine dealers or by mail at 25 coats a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. F • "SINK EVIiRFTIfING." Wilhelm II.

Nothing in municipal history ex- cited more interest than the reoent adoption by the City of New York of the C.P.R. method of purchas- ing supplies. New York orders for municipal purchases total $22,000,- 000 worth of good each year and found that there was much dupli- cation and waste, some of the de- partments paying retail prices for the same goods as were purchased wholesale by others, Under the C.P.R, systeau everything is cen- tralized so as to cut out the possi- bility of duplication either in pur- chase or payment of ggoods, while the terms are naturally all the more in favor of the railway, New York City sent a special investiga- tor round the Continent to study methods of purchasing supplies, and he decided that the C.P.R. sys- tem was "the best for effioieney and saving." This was naturally the source of much gratification to Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, Who was him- self at ono time .purchasing agent for the C.P,:R:, and established the proem -et system, The New Yoiit ex- pert investigator haus been busy eves since answering letters from other American ' municipalities, They pour in at the rate of about a hundred a week, all wanting to. know about the C.P.R. and its model purchasing department, with a view to the adopting of simi- dlar methods in other cities. It has been calculated that the adoption of C.P.R. methods by Amerman cities has saved Uncle Saul a waste of over a billion dollars.

Portneuf, Hamilton Cove Segue - ray Oo,, Que., May 10411 (Special). -Perfectly cured by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pilia, Dennie Rene Bouchard, well known and highly respected here, is advising ally her friends' who suffer from Kidney dis- ease to .use Dedd'is Kidney Palls. "When I commenced to take Dodd's Kidney Pills, I was is run down I only weighed eighty pounds," Dame Bouchard states. "I only took four boxes in all but they 'brought me back to health and now I weigh one hundred and twenty pounds. You may publish what I nay if you wish, for Dodd's Kidney Pills have done wonders for me." Dodd'a Kidney Pills do wonders fol run-down people because they cure the Kidneys. Cured Kidneys strain all the impurities, all the poison, out of the blood and the pure blood carries new nourish- ment, health and life, to all parts of the body. That's wily so many people say, "Dodd's Kidney Palls gave me a new Lease of life." Why Grass Is Green. Doubtless many have wondered why the vegetation of the earth is mostly green. That is—not what makes it green, but why it is that color instead of blue or red or pur- ple. Moisture, it has been found, will be collected by the green foliage in proper quantities while foliage of other colors will not be properly nourished by the dews and moisture from earth and atmosphere. A rather curious experiment proves this. Paint a piece of glass yellow, an- other green and one red and one black, and place all these piainted pieces of glass out in the open air over night during a summer or autumn night. When examined early the follow- ing morning it will be found that the yellow piece will be very wet and the green piece only moist, while the red and black pieces will be dry. This is proof that yellow foliage would collect too much dampness, and the red and black would gather none. Green, which collects the medium amount of moisture, seems to be the color best adapted to the conditions existing throughout the earth. Yellow foliage has been known to damp off and decay under the same conditions that make green foliage thrive. A few yellow leaved plants are grown under considerable difficulty under ordinary weather conditions. Absolutely Painless No cutting, no plas- ters or pads to press the sore spot.

Bright Items About Men and Women of the Moment. Can women keep a secret? Ask Mrs. Despard, sister of General French, and Mrs, .Parker, sister of Lord Kitchener, to talk about the war, and then you will be in no doubt as to the answer. German caricaturists are fond of re- presenting Sir Edward Grey as having a thin, hooked nose. As a matter of fact, he has a straight, finely -shaped nose, full and beautifully modelled. People who think it strange that Mr. Churchill should have been in the trenches at Antwerp forget that in his time has done at least five years' active soldiering, and had no fewer than three narrow escapes from death. Admiral Beatty, the pavement artists declare, is the best draw for their pur- poses. In the first three months of the war Lord Izitcheuer was their "star" picture; in the second three months Sir John French took his place; now it is all the admiral who made the German battleships turn tail. Our great men all seem to have a weakness for a particular word or phrase. Mr. Asquith, for instance, is partial to the word 'settled,l' and is continually speaking of the "settled" policy or "settled" conviction of the country. Sir John French likes the phrase "make good"—used notably in the historic order "make good the Aisne." How to age gracefully is well illu- strated in the ease of Lord St. AldWyn, who has just been elevated to the rank and dignity of an earl. For all his seventy-eight years, be is as straight as a die in his walk, and can keep pace with men fifty years his junior.

The dentist turned to look out, and saw a group of grinning lads standing close by his window. "Weil?" he asked his youthful Patient. "What does that mean?"

James Watt, the great engineer, during his apprenticeship in Lon- don, had to live on 8s, a week, and found it difficult. For his work on the model of the Newcomen engine he was paid £5 lis., and for the supervision of the construction of a bridge at Hamilton he was paid £7, his offer being leas than that of Smeaton, who offered to do the work for £10. For his work as su- perintendent of the Mornkland Ca - a] he received £200 per annum, and for his survey of the proposed Strathmore Canal he received the sum £80—not much, when the nal - tura of the work, a survey of forty days, is considered. d' Pleurisy Pains Vanish 1 Chest Colds Cured NERVILINE HAS NEVER FAILED TO CURE Don't Suffer! Nerviiine is your relief. Nerviline just rubbed on, lots of it, will ease that drawn, tight feeling over your ribs, will destroy the pain, will have you smiling and happy in no time. "I caught cold last week while mot- oring," writes P. T. Mallery, from Linden. "My chest was full of con- gestion, my throat was mighty sore, and I lead the fiercest stitch in my side you could imagine. As a boy I was accustomed to have my mother use Nerviline for all our minor ail- ments, and remembering what conft- dence she had in Nerviline, 1 sent out for a bottle at once. Between noon and eight o'clock 1 had a whole bottle rubbed on, and then got into a pers- piration under the blankets., This drove the Nerviline in good and deep, and I woke up next morning fresh as a dollar and absolutely cured. Nervi - line is now always part of my travel- ling kit, and I will never be without it.,, The large 50c. family size bottle is the most economical, or you can eas- ily get the 25c. trial size from any dealer.
