HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Herald, 1913-05-16, Page 6r" Voile flouncings are being used for lingerie dresses. • Tubing is as much used as ever on the new spring wraps. • Smart tub frocks are made of lin- en, pique, or sponge cloth. The suitlike dress is conspicuous among the spring' costumes. New blouses are made of cotton voile, marquisette, and linen. The small hat has received the approval of Paris for this spring. The blouse with the contrasting sleeve is quite the vogue in Paris. Children's aprons made with Rus- sian closings are novel and pretty. In millinery all black effects are fashionable, as are also all white effects. For girls and little girls plain strictly tailored coats are in good style. The finest hats are of malin, while hemp is the Paris modiste's second choice. Many simple three-quarter sack tailor coats have girdles of black satin ribbon. t The newest thing in cretonne bed- room furnishings is the small flow- ered pattern. There are some short coats of chiffon or thin silk, to be worn with white lingerie frocks. Little girls' coats have long re– vers and drooping shoulder seams, just like their mothers'. The chic Parisian has adopted the looped up draperies, giving a fair display of foot and ankle. I Some of the most charming sum- mer frocks are of chiffon, printed in small patterns and bright colors, Flowers will, of course, be worn to some extent, but this is decidedly a season of feather trimmings. The bordered silks and cotton crepes, voiles, and marquisettes are among the loveliest of the spring materials. Canton crepe is being combined with embroidered chiffon for great- er lightness of effect as summer comes. The plaited shirt bosom effect is a new feature of this season's blouse. The result is entirely soft and feminine. Some of the new eton jackets are short all the way round; others ' run down into a postilion effect at the back. The plainer dresses for little girls are made of nainsook, dotted swiss, mull, dimity, cotton crepes, and marquisettes. Purple and blue, veiled with gold embroidered chiffon, makes a de- lightful wide•girdle for a gray chif- fon gown. One piece robes are in bolero ef- fects, divided at the waist by high draped satin sashes of a contrasting color. Black and white combinations of chiffon, grenadine, or voile have waist belts of bright blue, dull red, orange, or grass green. Some of the latest evening toil- ettes are draped with mousseline scarfs, from which hang loose chains of stress and pearls. Gold and silver thread stockings are one of the spring novelties. Another is the stocking of open net, which looks like voile, There are many tailored suits with their short and three-quarter cutaway coats trimmed with white tulle plaiting with a picot edge. The directoire coat predominates and these seldom extend below the girdle in front; the backs reach below the hips and sometimes to the knees. One of the most important fea- tures of the nett* models is the girdle. It may be broad or nar- row, folded, draped, or smoothly fitted to the waist line. A charming novelty suit is made bolero style; the coat is of bordered silk in black and white, charmingly combined with a skirt of black crepe meteor.

"Yes, hut there -come my aunts, and now I'll be kissed all the after- noon." A traveller in the west came across two men having a heated ar- gument. The traveller drew near- er and heard: "What do you know about the Lord's Prayer ? I'll bet you $10 you can't repeat the first line," "I'll take the -bet," said the other man, and, turning to the stranger, asked him to hold' the money. "Now , what is the first. line I" asked the first one. "'Now I lay me down to sleep,' " "You win," said the first man. "I didn't think you knew it." ' EXPERIMENTAL ORCHARD. flow South Australia Tries to help the Fruitgrower. Among the most successful of the means adopted by the horticultural department of South Australia for the assistance of the fruitgrowers is the carrying out of various experi- ments at the government orchard established for that purpose. The orchard is situated at Coromandel Valley, in the Mount Lofty ranges and is pronounced by experts to be the best of its kind in Australia. It is 52 acres in extent, and in view of the very large area suitable for fruit culture in South Australia great interest is taken in the ex- periments. These include trials of different methods of budding, graft- ing, manuring, thinning, and the treatment of pests. In addition, in- teresting experiments relating to the caprification of the Smyrna fig, and the "bitter pit" difficulty in apples are being undertaken, and a variety of other important work carried on. At present the or- chard contains about 1400 varieties of apples, 800 kinds of pears, 320 peaches, 120 'apricots, 80 nectarines, 360 plums, 320 cherries, 30 almonds, 16 loquats, 40 olives and 181, Aga.

Employee—I would like more sal- ary. I am going to get married. Employer—Sorry, but I'll have to reduce it. I am going to get mar- ried myself. "I never heard of but one per- fect boy,". said Johnnie, pensively, as he sat in the corner doing pen- ance. "And who was that?" asked his mamma. "Papa—when he was little," was the answer.

THE IMPERIAL OIL COMPANY Limited Winnereg ' Toronto Halifee Montreal Vancouver, St. Johan rA GOOD MEDICINE FOR THE SPRING Do Not UseHarsh Purgatives -- A Tonic is All You Need. Not exactly sick—but not feeling quite well. That is the way most people- feel in the spring. Easily tired, appetite fickle, sometimes headaches, and a feeling of depres- sion. Pimples or eruptions may ap- pear on the skin, or there may be twinges of rheumatism or neuralgia. Any of these indicate that the blood is out of order—that the indoor life of winter has left its mark upon you and may easily develop into more serious :trouble. " Do not dose yourself with purga- tives, as so many people do, in the hope that you can put your blood right. Purgatives gallop through the system and weaken instead of giving strength. Any doctor will tell you this is true. What you need in spring is a tonic that will make new blood and build up the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is the only medicine that can do this speedily, safely and surely.

Austrian Physician Says They May Cause Arterio -Sclerosis. Do you smoke too much, and are you addicted to the consumption of rich dishes? These are frequent questions to be pondered by all those who would avoid arterio- sclerosis. Lecturing on the subject of arterio -sclerosis, which he termed the Damocles sword suspended over the heads of us all, Prof. Adolf von Struemfell, the eminent physi- cian and physiologist, of Vienna, Aimttsia,, gave some valuable sug- gestions as to how this disease 'Might be avoided. It is most im- portant, he said, to begin in time and carefully refrain from every- thing known to be injurious to the arterial system, such as over- physicaI strain, free indulgence in rich foods, alcohol and tobacco, es- pecially the latter. As for tea and coffee, there was much less to be said. Strong, black coffee certainly did produce nervous affections of the heart, but it had little effect upon the arteries, and tea was injurious only in iso- lated cases. With regard to meat, doctors were right when they spoke of its injurious effects, but, after all, per- haps it was more the rich sauces and gravies accompanying it which did th emischief. The idea that so- called white meats were less harm- ful than dark meats was also proba- bly orrly true in regard to the dif- ferent way of preparing and cook- ing them. 114 BABY'S BATTLES.

The precious little life is in constant danger from the many ills thatafflict little ones such a consti- pation, -indigestion, colic, diar- rhoea, etc., and unless the mother guards her little ones against these troubles serious results may follow.

Physicians Have Little Faith In Dr. Fried. mrtttn's Remedy—No Hope for ' Federal Square. A change has come over the attitude of the medical ' profession toward Dr. Fried- mann, who has just paid a second visit to Toronto. When he first came to this coun- try the attitude, toward him was ono of expectancy and ope, although it is not going too far to say that from the first there were many physicians who looked upon his reported cure for tuberculosis with seepticism, On the whole, however, the attitude in Canada was much more friendly than it was in the United States, and there was general approval of the course of the authorities in extending a special invitation to the German physi- cian to come to Canada to give demonstra- tions of his important remedy. " From a situation where there were only a few skeptics, the condition has now changed to one in which nearly the en- tire medical profession expresses little hope that any great advance in the treatment of tuberculosis has been made by due to tDr. Friewodmann.facts. This altered attitude is In Patent Medicine Class? First, the sale by Dr. Friedmann of his rights to the manufacture of the remedy, which is in the form of a serum, to a private company in which it is under- stood Dr. Friedmann himself retains a large interest. The feeling among doc- tors is that this is unprofessional conduct and places the reported remedy in the class of patent medicines and nostrums. It may be pointed out, however, that the attitude of the medical profession to this class of medicines is somewhat more strict than is that of the general public. There seems to be some basis for the cri- ticism that if Friedmann had made a great discovery such as that made by Pasteur or Lister, the best thing he could have done would have been to have given it freely to the medical profession. If his remedy had been efficacious his repu- tation would then have been secure and a grateful world would doubtless have seen that honor and wealth would have been freely awarded. - Second, the progress of the patients who have been treated by Dr. Friedmann has not been decisive. In some cases there has been improvement, but the scep- tics maintain that this iuprovement might have been observed even if there had been no Friedmann treatment. In other instances there has been no im- provement whatever. Dr. Friedmann's Answer. The answer of Dr. Friedmann to the critics of his method of giving out the remedy is that its character requires that it should be in the hands only of prac- titioners who have been schooled in its use, and that it would be unsafe •and un- fair to hand it out freely to the public or even to: the medical profession at large. For this reason it is probable that Dr. Friedmann, through the com- pany which now holds the right to his serum, will establish tuberculosis sanitoria, which may be known as Friedmann institutes,, where patients will be admitted as they would be to hospi- tals and where the Friedmann serum will be administered. The discoverer says that patients who are unable to pay for the treatment will be treated free. Or it may be that all that will be done for a year or two will be to establish a Fried- mann school, possibly.,in New York where physicians who wish to familiarize them- selves with the treatment may secure in- struction for the purpose of afterwards applying it to their patients. This would be a profitable operation for the Fried- mann -Company. It might secure fees for the instruction and it would doubtless also make a profit on the sale of the remedy to the practising physicians who wish. to use it. This being the situation it is perhaps too early to pass a final judgment on the merits of the remedy. Even those physicians who express the belief that the remedy is not S 5smedy say that so far as they know it is not injurious. They only fear that th., ;tensing of false hopes among a class of sufferers whose eendition is, as a rule, hopeless, may lead to much additional suffering, No Federal Square. Toronto has given up all hope of ever securing a Federal Square. The proposal was that the new Government buildings required, such as Customs House, Post Office and similar institutions, should be built on the same street, which would be laid out on a sty4.e of magnificence. The Government was reported to be in entire sympathy with the scheme, and Toronto believed that at last it would get something worth while. But the Govern- ment found when they came to purchase the land that the land owners always saw them coming and jumped the prices accordingly. Tho scheme was going to in- volve so great an expense that it finally was abandoned. Now the Government proposes to build' for the city a line new Post Office on the land occupied and adjoining the present site on Adelaide St. east, and similarly a new Custom House on the present and adjoining site at the foot of Yot,.ge St. The new Poet Office is to have a front- age of 328 feet and a depth of 186 feet. It is estimated that the additional land re- quired will cost not less than $6,500,000, although this land is not in the most expensive area. .b DOGS TORN FROM MISTRESSES Now English Law Potts Them Under Three Months' Quarantine. English customs officers are tak- ing unusually strenuous measures to stop the smuggling into England of toy dogs by Canadian and Ameri- can women. As the social season opens., and the annual influx of overseas , society , women begins, there is much despair and heart- burning.over the rigid English law providing that every dog brought into England must be quarantined for three months and inspected dur- ing that time for signs of tablas, The dogs ars kept in quarters. at the ports of entry, and how can ma- dame be, sure that her thrice -blue - ribboned darling will not associate amiably andeven joyously with a ride whose father never sat upon a bench?

And so ingenious are her devices, so pe feet her aplomb and smiling seren ity as 'she fibs to harassed and u certain officials, that the law had become almost inoperative so far as toy dogs were concerned.

"I am glad of the opportunity to tell of the good Grape -Nuts has done for me," writes an Eastern man. "IT or many years I was un- able to eat even a light breakfast without great suffering. "After eating I would suddenly be seized with an attack of colic and vomiting. This would be fol- lowed by headache and misery that would sometimes last a week +fir more, leaving me so weak I could hardly sit up or walk. "Since I began to eat Grape -Nuts I have 'been free from the old trou- bles. I usually eat Grape -Nuts one or More times a day; taking it at the beginning of the meal.

This would be fol- lowed by headache and misery that would sometimes last a week +fir more, leaving me so weak I could hardly sit up or walk.
