Tho quest of a becoming hat is, to many people, like the quest of the Golden Fleece, an undertaking fraught with numerous difficulties, and generally ending in dire failure. The real trouble, of course, is not in the face—for every one can find a becoming flat if she takes suf- ficient trouble—but in the method employed in choosing the hat. There are six golden rules that should be rigidly observed when selecting a now hat: 1. Never buy in a hurry. 2. Never buy when tired. 3. Never buy exaggerated models, however fashionable. 4. Never choose a spring hat when wearing a heavy winter tailor- made, for it is certain to look out of place. 0. Always get a reliable friend to Dome with you, for a sound second opinion is invaluable. 6. Remember that while the best firms are more intent on satisfying the customer than on selling the hat, not all firms are the best. "That suits you beautifully, ma- dam," too often becomes merely mechanical. Bub von can always recognize for yourself the advice giver; whole-heartedly from the fullness of the expert's knowledge. SEEN IN IN PARIS SHOPS. Some new upright collars taper to points behind the ears. Colored parasols with wide bor- ders of black velvet are smart. Plain shoulder cape flehus on coats are often of light toned Bilk. Just now the Dutch collar and turned back cuffs are popular. The popular combination for street wear is blue and safe au lait. Streamers are added to some of the big bows set at the back of large hats. Bordered chiffon and marqui- sette are used for many lovely dance frocks. Amber has for the time being given place to the modern vogue for out jet beads. The use of beautiful rich colorings for gowns not only continues but increases. Often the softest and most grace-. ful of tissues are finished with stiff rosettes of velvet. For both tailored and dressy plain crystal buttons are consider- ed smart. The most popular ornament at the present moment for evening wear is undoubtedly jet. Bands of olive embroidery and tulle are combined in a charming frock for a little girl. The trend of fashion is undoubt- edly in the direction of sleeve 'changes, of wider skirts, and of longer coats. AN OPTIMIST AT 108. Sirs. Rebecca Clark, of London, Preaches Cheerfulness. "I never worry," said Mrs. Re- becca Clark, the oldest of London's (England) three centenarians, when asked how she shad managed to re- main an optimist at 108. Last Sunday was her birthday and congratulations poured in on her at her home in North London. "Never since; I was a young girl have I allowed worries to interfere. with me,r" the went on brightly, "and to this I attribute my long life. As a matter of fact I am of such a happy disposition that I feel I must do •a step or two when I hear a band. playing. "Cheerfulness is the best elixir for living a hundred years. A wo- laan can always be cheerful if she Makes her work at home congenial. In foot a woman's place ought to be her home, and that's why I have no sympathy with suffragettes." Alert and active, Mars. Clark runs up and down stairs with a vivacity. that is amazing. She can bear a bee humming and threads needles for her daughter. Every Friday the• walks to the post office to draw her old age pension. She has a son and a daughter who are both old age pensioners. Her eldest grandson is 68. Mrs. Clerk's chief delight is'auto- mobiling. "1 always feel somehow younger after an auto ride," she says."This summer I hope to go motoring with a friend and do a little haymaking, which is another of my favorite pas- times:" • Mrs. Clark scorns all invalid foods and insists on having the same fare as the others in the house. Here is Fier birthday menu, to which she did full justice : Breakfast, 10 a.m, Eggs and ba- von, bread and butter, two cups of tea, Luncheon, noon Biscuits and tea. Ditto, 2 p.m,—Veal and Liam, two Vegetabiea, gooseberry tart and evonslMre Ma ash. Tea, 5 p.m.—Dread and butter, two. ` glees of birthday cake, two culls of tea, , Slipper, 80 pat. - Orasts of liread and tea. 'Mfrs, Clark is the possessor of 'four royal letters ---from the late King Edward, Queen Alexandra, King George and, Queen Malty. NEW STRENGTH FOR NURSING MOTHERS Aching Backs and Tired Limbs Need Not be Endured Aching banks, tired limbs, attacks of faintness, headaches and back- aches, need not be a part of wo- man's life. There are times when her blood needs special attention, and these times are indicated by one or more of the above symptoms. It is at such times that Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills are worth their weight in gold to women, for they actually make the rich, red health - giving blood which makes weak, tired, despondent women, active and strong, and feeling equal to all their household duties. Such a suf- ferer was Mrs. William Sullivan, Main River, N. B., who says : "I am writing to acknowledge the great good I received through Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. After my baby was born last summer I was so run down that life was really a burden. I had to drag myself about to do my housework, and every moment was one of trial. If I went upstairs I would be breathless and tired out, and my heart would palpitate violently, and I would have a feel- ing as though I was smothering. My appetite was poo; and my baby was suffering from my weakness. I was advised to try Dr. Willims' Pink Tills and got six boxes, and befdre they were all quite used I was like a different woman. My appetite re- turned ; I regained my strength, and the work about the house no longer bothered me. As the result of my experience I would strongly urge all weak women and nursing mothers to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." There is no woman, no matter what her station in life, who will not enjoy better health if she occa- sionally fortifies her blood through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. CURE FOR RHEUMATISM. Several inquiries have been mado recently for Lord Anson's cure for rheumatism, and in case other vic- tims may care to try it we publish the prescription :-1 lb. honey, 1 oz. sulphur, 1 oz. cream of tartar, oz. rhubarb, 1 dr. gum guiacum, 1 nutmeg. The invalid takes one or two tablespoonfuls in a small tumb- ler of hot white wine and water when going to bed; the same quan- tity before rising in the morning (but if perspiration is occasioned he remains in bed till it has subsided), and he continues the course till per- ceptibly good effects have ensued, and then takes one teaspoonful till the quantity is used up. No pre- caution is considered necessary ex, cept to avoid damp and cold and ardent spirits. Here is another :—When the rheumatism begins take for a few nights one teaspoonful of sulphur and ono -third teaspoonful cream of tartar in a cupful of cold water, to which a few drops of the juice of a lemon have been added to make the sulphur mix withthe water. It is an excellent thing that a man's actions should often be so much better than his principles. Boards of Guardians in England and Wales spent on the relief of the poor during the past official half- year over seven millions sterling. Why Should I Use Cuticura Soap? "There is nothing the matter with my skin, and I thought Cuticura Soap was only for skin troubles." True, it is for skin troubles, but its great mission is to prevent skin troubles. For more than a generation its deli- cate emollient and prophylactic properties have rendered it the standard for this purpose, while its extreme purity and refreshing fragrance give to it all the advan- tages of the best of toilet soaps. Itis also invaluable in keeping the hands soft and white, the hair live and glossy, and the scalp free from dandruff and irritation. While its first cost is a few cents more than that of ordinary toilet soaps, it is prepared with such care and of such materials, that it wears to a wafer, often outlasting several cakes of other soap, and making its use, In practice, m c pope u- ical,= Cuticura 'Snap Sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, but the truth of these clans may be demonstrated without cost by sending to "Cuticurn," Dept.

A Mich. woman tried Postum be- cause coffee disagreed with her and her husband. Toa is just as harm- ful as coffee because it contains caf- feine—the same drug found in cof- fee. She writes : "My husband was sick for three years with catarrh of the bladder, and palpitation of the heart, caus- ed by coffee. Was unable to work at all and in bed part of the time. "I had stomach trouble, was weak and fretful so I could not attend to my housework—both of us using coffee all the time and not realiz- ing it was harmful. "One morning the grocer's wife said she believed coffee was the cause of our trouble and advised Postum. I took it home rather du- bious what my husband would say— hewas fond of coffee, "But I took coffee right off the table and we haven't used a cup of it since. You should have seen the change in us, and now my husband never complains of heart palpita- tion any more. My stomach trou- ble went away in two weeks after I began Postum. My children love it and it does them good, which can't be said of coffee. "A lady visited us who was usu- ally half sick. I told her I'd make her a cup of Postum. She said it was tasteless stuff but she watched me make it, boiling it thoroughly for 15 minutes, and whegn done she said it was splendid. long boiling brings out the flavor and food qua- lity." Name given by Canadian Postum Co,, Windsor, Ont. Look in pkgs. for the famous lit- tle book, "The Road to Wellville." Ever roadthe above totter? A naw one appears from time to time. They aro genuine, true, and full of human Interest, RIGHT KIND OF SUCCESS. Free yourself at this moment of the delusion that success means pil- ing up heaps of money. Most any- body can make money, but when it comes to building up a noble char- aoter—ah, there's where tho diffi- cult problem lies. Reanember that success in its true sense, means achieving good in this world. Your life has been a dismal failure if those that live after you cannot say when you are gone that the world has been made bottoraby you having lived in it. This is true, al- though you may have accumulated thousands of dollars, GOT DESPERATE.

CHILDHOOD DANGERS. No symptoms that indicate any of the ailments of childhood sboutd be allowed to pass without prompt lattention. The little a'lmenb may soon become a serious nue and per- haps a little life passes out. If Baby's Own Tablets are kept in the house minor troubles can be promptly cured and serious ones averted. The Tablets aro guaran- toed absolutely safe and can be given to the newborn babe as well as the growing child. Mrs. Arthur Drapeau, Mont Carmel, Que., says: "I can give Baby's Own Tablets to my little one without fear, well knowing the beneficial results that will follow their use." The Tablets aro sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont, RECORD HUNTING BAGS. There Aro Other Hunters Besides King George and the Raiser. King George and the Raiser are not the only mighty hunters, says Outing, as the following statistics furnished by Charles Asking will prove: "Elephants—Sir Samuel Baker, in Ceylon, fourteen lin one day; thirty-one in five days. These were shot with a double four bore rifle weighing twenty-one, pounds; load, sixteen drams of powder and a bul- let weighing a quarter of a pound. "Bengal tigers—Four were killed in forty seconds by W. H. Collins near Ootacamund, India, in 1903. The rifle used was a 400 bore, "Lions—Seven killed in two min- utes in West .Africa in 1909. Rifle a 600 bore, double barrel. Nine cartridges were used. "I have found few definite re- cords of American game shooting. Buffelo Bill is said to have killed over h hundred buffalo in one day. In, I think, the American Field, of a date about twenty years since, some hunter reported killing eight antelope from one flock as it ran past him. "I have no doubt that this has been exceeded many times. I have bean told that one market hunter in southern Illinois, in an early day, using a muzzle loading rifle, killed one hundred and seventy-five deer in one month. "He still -hunted, using a dog to track the animals, the beast trail- ing without sound directly in front of his master. The saddles of these deer alone were saved, togethea with the hides—the saddles selling in St. Louis for about $2 apiece. "The English record on grouse is something over one thousand birds in a day, made by Lord Walsing- ham. Since 1900 the Duryeas of New York, who took the shooting rented in Scotland by the late W. C. Whitney, killed over a thousand grouse a day for several successive days. "How many prairie chickens have been killed in a day by one man will never be known. The best work, or the worst, as you may put it, was that of Francke, two hun- dred and fifty. "The English record en part- ridges is something over seven hun- dred brace, made by the Maharajah of •something or other—I have for- gotten his exact title, as well as the exact number of birds he killed— also I have forgotten where to look for it now. "Of Ai' ericai quail an Oklahoma market shooter is said to have killed two hundred in a day, but I cannot vouch for this. I do know, however, of an Illinois market shooter who killed seventy-two in an afternoon—all shot fairly upon the wing. This happened in the '8os, "In the late '70s a Louisiana planter • killed six hundred and twenty-six jack snipe in one day. "Ducks -One hundred and seven- ty-nine killed with one charge from a punt gun on the Illinois River," HER COMPLAINT. A woman crossing in a ferry steamer told a deckhand that she wanted to see the captain when the boat reached the "slip and make a complaint. When thecaptain came the woman said :-"I want to make a complaint about those' lifebuoys; dust look at them." "Well, what in. the world is the matter with 'em, madam?" asked the captain as he looked up at them. "Matter with them?", echoed the woman, "don't you see that they're dirty? They ought to be washed. If a woman with a nice summer dress on had to put one of those -dusty things on over it it would never be fit, to wear again," Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are made according to a formula In age nearly a century ago among the Indiana, and learned from them by Dr. Morse.

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills area household remedy through- out the world for Constipation and all Kidney and Liver troubles, They act promptly and effectively, and fs Cleanse the System, FOR DOMESTIC UPLIFT. Switzerland Is Fussy About lief Little Laws. About the only country in Europe that is free from international com- plications, Switzerland finds plenty of time to devote to the domestic uplift. For instance, in the street cars the following signs have recent- ly been posted: Do not smoke; do Outgo spit; have small ango ready; pay your fare promptly; speak clearly when naming your destina- tion.; do not move until the conduc- tor summons you ; do not cross your logs or otherwise impede the pas- sage. Conductors are under orders to straighten out any legs they find crossed. Fines for various infractions of the law are placarded everywhere thus: For throwing rubbish on the pavement, 5 francs; for ill-treating a dog, 3 francs; for walking on the grass, 2% francs. On application to the police sta- tions citizens may be provided with neatly printed tags, with blanks to bo filled out with their names and addresses, and reading: "If I am found in a condition which renders me incapable of going home, kindly conduct me to the above address." A Boon for the Bilious.—The liver is a very sensative organ and easily deranged. When this occurs there is undue secretion of bile and the acrid flows into the stomach and sours it. It is a most distressing ailment, and many are prone to it. In this condition a man finds the best remedy in Parinelee's Vege- table Pills, which are warranted to speedily correct the disorder. There is no better medicine in the entire list of pill preparations. One-sixth of the territorial sur- face of the globe is occupied by the Russian Empire. Minard's Liniment Cures Comet In Cows.

A safety device which has given excellent satisfaction on modern passenger vessels is one for releas- Ing life rings fore and aft, both on the port and starboard side of the vessel as soon as the news, "man overboard," reaches the bridge, either by "wig wag" or the ship's telephone. The officer on 'duty there gives one turn of a valve and the rings are automatically releas- ed. After they have all reached the water a red electric Light flashes up at the top of the bridge apparatus, showing the officer that the mecha- nism has performed its duty. An Always Ready Pill.—To those of regular habit medicine is of little concern, but the great majority of men are not of regular habit. The worry and cares of business prevent it, and out of the irregularity of life comes dyspepsia, indigestion, liver and kidney troubles as a protest. The run-down system demands a corrective and there is none better than Parmelee's Vegetable Pills. They are simple in their composi- tion and can be taken by the most delicately constituted. Incompetence always has an idea that a few medals would make it a genius. Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper.

An Irishman applying for a pen- sion insisted on the .justice of his claim, owing to tho fact that he had been wounded while in the service of his country. "How and where were you wounded?" ono of the committee in tfired. Placing his band over his heart he said—"I was- shot in the breast on a retreat, your honor." "Shot through the 'breast oh a retreat?" 'II had the indiscretion to turn and, look back, yer honor," "But if you Were shot through the Breast in the place you indicated the ball would have gone through your heart. How is that?" "My heart was in my mouth at the time, yer honor." It is a great world, and it would lee childish to expect to hiovo every thing iti it to suit oursolvet. FATAL COMBINATION. ' "Why did they quarrel?" "He told her he would go through fire and water for her." "Well?" "And the asked him if he would give up firewater for her." Nearly all infants are more or less subject tc diarrhoea and such com- plaints while teething and as this period of their lives is the most cri- tical, mothers should not be with- out a bottle of Dr. J. D, Kellogg's Dysentery Cordial. This medicine is a specific for such complaints and is highly spoken of by those who have used it. The proprietors claim it will cure any case of chol- era or summer complaint. THE RIGHT OF IT. Young Wife—Do you think it is justifiable for a wife to take money from her husband's pockets? Older Wife—It isn't a case of justification at all; it is a question of finding any to take. Kinard's Liniment Co., Limited. Dear Sirs—This fall I got thrown on a fence and hurt my sliest very bad, so I could not work and it hurt me to breathe. I tried all kinds of Liniments and they did me no good.
