Neckwear and Other Accessories of Dress
Th French women do not take to
mannish styles in dress as do the Eng-
lish and Americans. Whenever they
adopt anything that borders on nian-
uishness they are sure to modify it
with little feminine touches. And the
combined effect of severity and co-
quetry is. we must say, both Frenchy
and attractive
For instance, take the linen collar
as she is worn by a French woman.

Pleasant Every Morning Until
Tan O'clock; the Rest of the Day
Will Take Cara of Itself."
This is one of the best little ser-
mons we know. Havo you ever
stopped to think that the morning
is the time when your temper is usu-
ally ruffled, and havo you ever
stopped to think that the cause of
bad temper In the morning Is nearly
always because your stomach has not
been working properly during the
night? It has contained a lot of Indi-
gestible substances that form gas
and makes you have dreams. It
breaks up your rest and you wake up
In the morning tired, Instead of re-
freshed, as nature Intended you
should.
Our grand sires required no ad-
monition to "Be pleasant every morn-
ing until 10 o'clock; the rest of the
day will take care of itself," for they
digested their food and woke up full
of life and energy ready for the day's
duties, and this was because they
lived tin simple foods Instead wf high-
ly seasoned palatable concoctions,
which contain no nourishment. Na-
ture gave us milk, wheat und eggs,
and on these foods a person can
live indefinitely, but If the milk
skimmed, and If the outside of the
wheat is taken off the kernel, and if
the lime, the salt, and the Iron, which
is In the outer part of the wheat
berry, If these are all removed, you
have simply starch alone; the starch
goes Into the stomach and becomes
sugar.
Do you know that a person would
starve to death on plain white bread
and water? Do you know that he
could live Indefinitely on whole wheat
bread or on whole wheat food ana
water? These interesting facts are
all set forth in a book called "Back
to Nature." which tells about proper
living and gives recipes for meals of
the simple kind the kind that makes
you strong and well; the kind that
makes you "Pleasant every morning
until 10 o'clock." This book is pub-
lished at a great expense, but It Is
given free to every reader of this
paper. It is an adverti lenient of
"EGG-o SEE," the great food which
Is made from whole wheat, which is
baked and predigested and is all
ready to serve from the package you
buy at your grocers You get nioro
life and energy from a 10-cent pack-
age of EGG-O-SEE than you will get
from a thousand dollars' worth of
white bread. This Is no idle claim.

PURPOSE OF THE COURT.
Ait Understood by a Lawyer Who
Knew How to Circum-
vent It
Hon. A. G. Jewltt, lawyer,, politician
and man of sarcastic wit, was once
trying a case in the supreme court In
elfast, Me., his home city. The judge
presiding, before being called to the
bench, had tried many cases against
Jewell, who dlil not entertain a very
high opinion of his ability, relates the
Boston Herald
In his closing argument Jewett, In
defiance of the rules of the court,
started In to read some law to the Jury.
The court pounded on the bench and
said "Mr Jewett, you must not read
law to the Jury In your closing argu-
ment." Jewett kept on reading with-
out so much as a glance at the court.
The court, In thunderous tones, order-
ec. olin to stop.
Jewett. who had by this time read
all he Intended to r«-ad. turned calmly
to the Judge and said "Did your
honor address me?"
"I said," roared the Judge, "you
must not read law to the Jury In your
closing argument 1 will give the law
to the Jury What do you suppose
the court Is here for?"
"What Is the court here for?" re-
sponded Jewett, in high falsetto, "I
suppose you know, sir. to keep order,
with the aid of the sheriff, sir with all
due respect to the sheriff, sir."
Best He Could Say.

It s easy to understand how ordi-

A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
'I had used coffee for years and
really did noi exactly believe It was
Injuring me although I hnd palplta
tion of the heart every day.
"Finally one day a severe and al-
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and I gave up both
tea and coffee, using Postum instead
and since that time I have hail ab-
solutely no heart palpitation except
on one or two occasions when 1 tried
a small quantity of coffee which
caused nevere Irritation and proved
to me I must let it alone.
"When we began using Postum It
seemed weak—that was because we
did not make It according to direc-
tions—but now wu put a little bit of^,
butter In the pot when boiling anii
allow the Postum to boil full 15 intn-
utos which gives It the proper rich
flavor and the deep brown color.
"I have niivlnod a great many of
