Fashion Hints
L Seen in Paris Shops.
Much wool embroidery is used on
the new fall costumes.
Printed silks are a favorite ma-
terial for afternoon costumes.
There are many scarf trimmed
' hats among the new models.
Some of the most dressy frills
are sparkling with rhinestones.
A single rose of brilliant color is
used as a clasp to a scarf sash.
The newest draped skirts are
raised short in front and widen in
folds toward the hips.
Lace used as inside revers is a
feminine touch which has been giv-
en to some waist -coats.
i Flower sprigged challis and voile
1 are popular materials for making
1 one piece frocks.
Evening girdles are to be wide
and draped, and will be worn be-
low the elbow and above the waist
line.
Light blue and pink malines will
be used again to touch up the black
or white low necked gown.
For every kind of sport the bril-
liant hued silk knitted or wool coat
is a charming and becoming style.
Some of the new skirts are slash-
ed to the knee over the right foot,
where a bow knot of brilliant
catches the drapery in place.
A favorite fabric for afternoon
dresses is net in all weights and in
`many combinations. It is wash-
) able, cool, inexpensive and new.
Striped materials are fashion-
able, and a "red and black striped
I ohiffor$4a,eket is efeeralver'y cores,
bined with a gray tussor silk skirt.
The plainest of wash frocks is
given an air of dressiness by a frill
',around the neck or outlining the
!opening of the blouse from throat
to belt.
Blouses with drop shoulders are
cut out from a single breadth of
;wide material and form the upper
part of some of the smart one
piece gowns.
" Fashion seems to have swung
Around again to the separate jack-
ets and separate skirts, and the
selection of contrasting colors
must be harmonious.
Among the new fall colors are
putty,. absinthe green, eggplant
purple ;.Sevres . green, Florentine
reel' : ab green, mandarin; yel-
and oak :leaf browic -. $"-
•'.The new fall coats for the young;
girl are made of soft woolly materi-
al, -wool astrakhan, the. new dove-
Lyne, chinchilla, and striped and
novelty weaves.
Close fitting hats, with outstand-
ing trimming, are as much in vogue
, as ever. The trimming may be
either feather, fancy or loops of
ribbon and velvet in fantastic
shape.
Very smart is a little vest resem-
bling a man's evening vest in cut.
!It is very low and made of striped
i heavy material. It should harmon-
•fze with the color of the coat worn.
i Both short and long coat lengths
hold good. The latter drop mid-
way between the hips and knee
length; some of the former are
shaped in cutaway style, barely
ixovering the hips.
For the young girl there are
smart little frocks of serge, chiffon,
broadcloth, charmeuse, and wool
brocade. Some of them have quaint
little Eton jackets, opening over
vests of softly gathered net or chif-
fon.
A black or 'dark blue gown is
brightened with the Arab sash,'
woven with white lines of some-
what crude shapes into a kind of
gold tissue. It is knotted in front
and falls a few centimeters over
the skirt toward the hent.
Fact and Fancy.
Love is blind, but not, alas, per-
manently.
The Gold Coast exports 275,000
monkey skins a year.
The more you help your friends,
the more they'll consider it your
duty to keep on helping them.
A marble book, with marble
leaves of exceeding thinness, is in
the Strozzi Palace in Rome.
Artificial limb makers keep in
stock 300 or 400 per Cent, more right
than left limbs ; it is the former
that most accidents happen to.
The bonds of matrimony seldom
pay a dividend,
It costs the world $4,000,000 a
year to pepper its food.
The more a married man is blown
up th esmaller he feels.
Don't dry your wife's tears with
a handkerchief—try a $2 bill for a
change,
During the canning season, many
women stand for hours stirring the
fruit to prevent it from burning.
If the preserving kettle is placed in
a pail of boiling water it can cook
*I.11 day without burning.
A SAFE TONIC
FOR M.,OT ERS
Who ,Po Not Recover Their Strength
as They Should.
Every mother who fails to regain
her health and strength after con-
finement needs a tonic. The years
of weakness and suffering which so
often follow are unnecessary and
easily avoided. The fact' that her
strength does not return is a cer-
tain indication that her blood sup-
ply has been overtaxed and is im-
poverished. This condition is often
made worse when the mother takes
up her household duties while she
is still weak, when a complete
breakdown results. The strength a
weak mother needs can be quickly
found in the tonic treatment with
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, These
Pills increase and enrich the blood
supply, and thus 'bring health and
strength to the exhausted system.
Mrs. Robt. Little says: "I have
nursed for upwards of twenty-five
years, and I could relate many
cases, relieved and cured, through
the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
In maternity cases which I nurse I
always use them and I know of no
other medicine that so speedily
builds• up the mother at this criti-
cal time. I have also found them of
great value in the case of young
girls, and I can add that asefor my-
self they have saved me many: a
doctor's bill. I feel safe in saying
they are the best tonic medicine I
know of."
Nursing mothers will find Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills will give her
Seise the strength she needs, and
they will at the same time aid in
keeping her child healthy. If you
do not find these Pills at your deal-
er's they will be sent by mail at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2.50

cine Co., Brockville, :,Ont.
A LESSON IN SWIl1MMING.
How a Coon Mother Taught Her
Her Young the Art.
Early one morning, writes a cor-
respondent of the Youth's Compan-
ion, I was standing on the bank of
a small stream that runs along the
border of a heavily timbered ssamp.
I had been quiet , for some time,
1i eenipg to the song of abird,; when
I heard a rustling in the bushes a
little distance away and the shrill
whimpering cries oil some animal.
Suddenly a mother coon and two
young ones a little more than a
quarter -grown, emerged from the
cover. The cries were coming from
these babies; perhaps they were
protesting against what was about
to happen.
When the mother reached the
stream, she plunged into the water
and swam about for a few moments
in great enjoyment. Then she re-
turned to the shore, and taking one
bf the little ones in her mouth as a.
cat carries a. kitten, she started
back into the stream.
The young coon was not eager for
the bath. He kicked and cried lus-
tily, but there was no help for it.
His mother would hold him by the
neck, and with what purchase she
could get in the water, throw him
as far as possible from her. If he
tried to swim shoreward, she would
head him off. If he swam to her,
she would swim away from him, or
push, him under with her nose. She
appeared to be enjoying herself,
but the poor youngster was far
from happy.
At first I almost thought that she
intended to drown her offspring,
but I soon found out that she knew
what she was doing, and why she
was doing it. After eight or ten
minutes of this heroic instruction
in the art of swunmixig, she helped
the half -drowned kitten up the
bank, where he sat and shivered,
whileshe repeated the performance
with his brother, Tien the family
returned quietly into the swamp.
One teaspoonful of peroxide of
hydrogen added to half a tub of
water in which clothes are rinsed
will act as a bleach. It gives a
pure white color without any dam-
age to the fabric.

THE WORLD IN REVIEW
Boy Scouts and Militarism.
It is rather difficult to understand what
is meant by the charge that th Boy
Scouts are being militarized. If it asouid
be shown that any agencies wore, at work.
to fill the boys' heads' with dreams' of
military conquest and to 'tiepins them
with distrust and hatred of Germans, and.
Americans and Japanese, it would be' the
duty of every good citizen to protest, No-
body has charged, however, that the
minds of the boys are:being thus poison
ed. All that has.been dope apparently
is to impress,. upon the boys ;one of .the
fundamental duties of citizenship, ".. the
importance of being trained: to defend
their country if it should be' threatened
by an invader. Ia this mischievous tench.
ing? Is it something that ought not to
be impressed upon th eboys?
`Be Preppared' has been the motto of
the Boy Scouts ever since the organiza-
tion wee formed. They are trained to
be prepared to diboharge every duty Of
citizenship, and many instances could be
shown of Bray Seoute, risking and even
sacrificing their lives in order' to save
the lives of othert or to protect their
property. They are schooled in the craft
of the woodsman, taught to find "sermons
in stones, books in the running brook,'
to be civil, cleanly, obedient to authority,
respectful 'to their elders and helpful to
each other. If to this trainingie-to he
added training in eimpls military man-.
oeuvres and in . the handlingof arms.
what -harm will- be done? , To.. condemn
this training is to: insult, every' volunteer
in Canada, and to imply that,: be Is en-
gaged in something disgraceful when he
turns out for drill.
A Mistaken Idea.
It is a very general error of;under-
standing that when the 'Panama Conan
is completed the waters of the Atlantic
will meet and mingle with those of the
Pacific. They will not unless they meet
down at Cape . Hera. not,
has been a
half accepted theory that the waters of
the Pacific are on a higher level than
those of the Atlantic on this side of the
isthmus, and several writers -save said
that a swift current might flaw through
the canal. The error is easily discerned
when one thinks for a moment.
The canal is not on the water level, but
far above it, nearly 100 fee.t On the At-
lantic side the canal hap, been out some
distance inland to where the mountain
begins to rise, and there a great' lock is
built, and when a ship enters it, it ie
raised up to the level of the canal by
means of river water, not' sea. Crossing
the mountain by canal and lake full of
fresh water, the ship is let down into
the salt water on the Pacific side. The
salt waters do not meet. but are almost
ae far apart as ever.
•.A Freak Suggestion. ,
One Ernest Archdeacon, described as
the most prominent patron of aviation
in Prance, comes to the front with the
latest freak suggestion of eeudo-science,
M. Archdeacon finds himself jaded with
the tedious pace of a i25 -mile -an -hour
plane and the monotony of being cabin -
ed, cribbed and confined in the present
airlanes, and he proposes being shot to
various parts of the solar system by ra-
dium power. lie figures that with twenty-
seven kilograms of radium aboard a pro.
jectile weighing a ton could be sent to
the moon in forty_nine hours. and with
400 kilograms a visit might be made to
Venue.
Ultimately, so runs the prophecy, the
inhabitants of , all the planets will make
each other's acquaintance • and inter-
planetary congresses will, . be held. lit.
Archdeacon seems. to forget that atmoe-
phere to breathe is`one ,t tlo oon-
veniences whitl earth to ,,,iy::t.
miss In -a journey to our airless edttl•
lite and that they -might -also find the
temperature of Venus a little too high
for comfort. Besides, radium ie already
so scarce 'as to be a considerable item in
the coat of living, and we have other
uses for it than as fuel for interplanetary
limited expresses.
Huge Law Costs,
Herr Thyssen, an ironfonnder, who be-
gan life in humble circumstances, is one
of the five or six richest men in Germany,
and in industry his importance can chal-
lenge that of the Krupps. Ms son, after
incurring heavy debts, was offered cer-
tain
er
tain terms by the father on the condition
that these were to settle definitely the
share in the father's estate that should
devolve to him at death. The sen main-
tallied 'that the offer was considerably
smaller than ho was entitled to, and
brought suit, against his father. The son
has Vwice lost the case, and now has ap-
pealed. Already, however, the costa of
the case amount to $2,048,750. as estimated
only at the rate fixed by the regulations
of Prussian procedure.
Sundry expenditures have to: be added
to this amount and it is estimated that
the total coats will have amounted to
very nearly $2,500,000. When the case has
been disposed of for a third and last time,
costs exacted by the court to the extent
of $450,000 and counsel's fees amounting
to $104,000 will have to be added, making
a total outlay of $2,602,750, The basis for
this exorbitant expenditure is the amount
of money in dispute, which was no less
than 017,500,000. But one may ask would
it not have been better for the bon to be
satisfied with a nest egg of over $17,000,-
000' rather than the full-fledged bird to
which he. thought he was entitled?
EARTH AS FOOD.
Some Indian Tribes Eat It In Var-
ious Forms.
The habit of eating earth or clay
is' one of the most unpleasant char-
acteristics of the Southern "crack-
ers," but the practice is not con-
fined to any race or region of the
world, says the Scientific American.
In America, several tribes of In-
dians, of the northern as well as of
the southern continent, use earth as
food,
The Pawnee Indians used to eat
a yellowish clay, which they shaped
into little balls that were dried in
the open air, and then roasted over
the fire. When the clay became red
he balls were removed, moistened
with water, and eaten. These clay
alts were of tenest served with fish,
and seem to have promoted diges-
ion, Some of the Mackenzie River
Indians used to resort to the earth
as food in times of famine. They
dug out the clay that they found in
hollows along the banks of the
iver. In prosperous years they
hewed the clay as a delicacy. the
Apaches mixed powdered clay with
their meal before baking their rude
eaves of bread.

In. South America, the Indians .in
the uplands of Bolivia eat a light
lay that is nearly white in coldr';
his they use either raw or in the
form of cakes of various 'shapes,
which are sold in the market -place.
They also prepare a sauce with the
clay; this they eat with boiled pota-
toes:'
Among the negroes of the Guinea
coast, as well as among. those' of
West Africa, the eating of clay is
very common. The natives of the
Sudan dig their favorite clay from
between layers of sandstone in the
banks of rivers. The' natives of
Javaprepare, little cakes of clay
containing ochre ; these are sold in
the. public markets.
Tl>e.. "hairy Ainut," the abori-
gines of northern Japan, mix clay
with their rice, and with the leaves
of various plants that they use for
food. In Persia, certain, classes of
the population think that some
varieties of clay are delicious lux-
uries, and in the foot -hills of the
Himalayas the natives are constant-
ly chewing a piece of greenish clay,
which they believe has the property
of protecting them against goitre,,
In Finland, as well as in parts
of Sweden, powdered clay is mixed
with the flour used for baking
bread. In the Ural Mountains, the
natives mix gypsum with their
dough. In Sardinia and in Styria,
cakes" of clay are sold in the mar-
kets with other foodstuffs.
How to Treat
Sprains and Strains
After Ten Days' Suffering Mr.
Quinn Says Nothing Cures
Like Nerviline.
THOUSANDS RECOMMEND "NEW/MINE"
One of the most soul -distressing ac-
cidents that can befall one is a bad
ankle or wrist sprain. "If I had only
known of `Nerviline' earlier, I could
have saved myself an enormous
amount of pain and many agonizing
nights of sleeplessness." Thus writes
P. P. Quinn.
"I tumbled from a hay loft to the
barn floor and sprained my right
ankle and left wrist. They swelled
rapidly and caused excruciating pains.
It was not convenient to go to the
city, and the liniment in the house
was useless. When I got Nerviline
relief came quickly. It took down
the swelling, relieved the pain, and
gave me wonderful comfort.
"I can recommend Nerviline for
strains, bruises, swellings, muscular
pains, and sore back. I have proved
at a ;sure cure in such cases."
Think what it might some day
mean to you to have right in your
home, ready for an accident or emer-
gent sickness; a bottle or."two of Ner-
viline. Get it to -day.
