HUSBAND SAVED HIS WIFE Stopped Most Terrible Suf fering by Getting Her Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound. Denison, Texas. -- "After my little girl was born two years ago I began 'buf fering with female trouble and could hardly do my work. I was very nervous but just kept drag g i n g o n u n t i l l a s t summer when I got where I could not do « my work. I would have a chill every day and hot flashes and dizzy spells and my head would &1- ' most burst. I got where I was almost a walking skeleton and life was a burden to me until one day my husband's step sister told my husband (f he did not do something for me I would not last long and told him to get your medicine. So he got Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound for me, and after taking the first three doses I began to improve. I con tinued its use, and I have never had any female trouble since. I feel that I owe ray life to you and your remedies. They i did for me what doctors could not do and I will always praise it wherever I go."--Mrs. G. O. Lowery, 419 W.Moo- terey Street, Denison, Texas. If you are suffering from any form of female ills, get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and commence the treatment without delay.

Ruffles are used all over a skirt to give it fullness, which is a much pret tier method than obtaining width by a plain circular cut which sags at its different points and is apt to look as ragged as the skirt of a gypsy before a month is over. \ The deep Spanish ruffle will come in with the other Spanish fashions. The Soon Settled. Father and mother were having a little chat by the fire before retiring for the night. The future of their little ones was the interesting topic of their conversation. "Then what about Harold?" said fa ther presently. "Ah, Harold," sighed mother, a shadow crossing her sweet face, "I sometimes wonder what will become of Harold! He seems to take a fiend ish delight in hurting his brothers and sisters!" "Is that so?" said father promptly. "Then we'd better make him a den tist!" Leap-Year Hint.

The Breton basque will be advocated In all kinds of fab rics. It is mainly accentuated by a full ruffle below the waist. Sleeves are full, so much so that they are crinolined to stand o-at frdm the arm, but they are usually caught in below the armhole in various ways and are either gathered at the wrist and finished with a ruffle, or held into a long, tight cuff that is buttoned up the back. Coats and blouses are open in front and the eighteenth century collars which are not postilion in shape, will be played up. Capes promise to be so general that they may becojne com mon before June. They are put on evening gowns made of bullion lace; they are attached to afternoon gowns made of satin or crepe, and the long ones are worn in the street. These are copied from the capes of the Italian police and sharpshooters. They are not dark in color, however, but are white or pearl giay, or rose pink for the country. They are worn in right side thrown well over the left shoulder. Departing from the Important fea tures and the silhouette, there are many interesting minor things to be considered about the new fashions, and these interest some women as much aB do the larger features. Stripes, broad and narrow, will be in troduced in all kinds of fabrics, in cluding serge, silk, gaberdine, jersey cloth and voile. There are so many of them that one invariably thinks of the directoire fashions, and yet, the only other hint of this epoch in the incoming styles is the high, rolling collar, the frill of lace in front and a coat or bodice that fits the figure. There are suits and one-piece frocks made of striped serge and silk, espe cially in blue and white with pipings of solid blue and there are skirts of old-fashioned ribbed silk made in stripes that are five inches wide which go around the figure. There are suits of Jersey cloth and other fabrics that have immense collars, revers, girdles and broad cuffs, some turning back nearly to the elbow, made of striped cloth or silk. The designers have racked their brains for new ways to use ribbon, but no ene has ousted the method of making a gown as though it dripped ribbon. For instance, a silk net eve ning gown In one color will have hun dreds of hanging tabs of another color arranged in thick groups. There are few rosettes and bows, as any method that keeps the ribbon from being flat tened in to the surface of the frock, is not approved. (Copyright. 1916. by the McClur* Newspa per Syndicate.) Feminine Fads Emerald green checks on a white ground are 6een among the latest nov elty cloths. A one-sleeved Spanish cloak of sa ble is one of the fashions favored abroad. Mandarin yellow velours trimmed with ermine is a favorite combination for theater cloaks. The new ermine furs are usually small straight choker collars and small rounded muffs. Bright colored silk fringed sashes are a pretty and dainty finish to many light tulle and lace dancing frocks. The gay scarfs of fiber silk are among the prettiest of the season, though lacking the cozy look of the wool scarfs. MASK FOR ENGINEERS MEANS GREATER DECREE SAFETY ON RAILROADS. OP By Itt. Use the Man in the Cab at All Time*, Has a Clear View of the Track--Obstruction Not Possible. A few years ago an engineer on a Canadian railroad was tried for killing several passengers as a result of a rear-end collision between his engine and a passenger train ahead. His de fense was simply that the weather was 40 degrees below zero, a 40-mile wind was blowing, the severity of which was greatly increased by the speed of his train and it was a human impos sibility to withstand the cold long enough to get even a glimpse ahead from the open window. The other windows were so incrusted with ice that they might as well have been NO ADVANCE IN TRAIN SPEED Prohibitive Operating Expenses Have Effectually Prevented Ex pected Increase. 0 In the World of Dress.

The new est method, however, reminds one of a " bath coiffure"--the hair, slightly waved, being drawn back closely from the face and twisted into a careless knot at the nape of the neck. The coiffure is eminently becoming to a pretty girl with a well-shaped head. It demands that the hair shall be very silky and possessed of an ap parently natural ripple. The chignon is here again. Not a I stiff bun but a soft soil, held in place j by tortoise shell pins, which lies against the back of the neck, and there is no parting visible in front The Parisiennes are also adopting in the evening a style of headdress which calls for the presence of highly ornamental combs. These are com bined with a simple, but highly effec tive coiffure., . The hair, always slightly waved, Is drawn back over a light frizetfe and arranged in a series of small coils and curls at the back of the head, not low down, but, on the other hand, not high up. The coils and curls cover the mid dle of the head at the back and the comb juts out at one side. Trimmed With Leather Two Veils Needed. Two veils are needed for protection from strenuous winter breezes. One veil ia a face veil of fine hexagon nesh, the other is a draped veil which floats over the hat. New veils of the latter sort are called plateau veils. They are of open filadora mesh with a deep, effective border at either end. The veil is thrown across a small hat so that the bordered ends fall at the sides, just below the shoulders, and the fine face veil is draped closely ^""r the hat and face in usual fash- Ion. Sectional View of the Engineer's Safe ty Mask, Showing Its Effect on Air Waves. solid walls for all that could be seen through them. The engineer won his own case on the strength of his testimony, but as a result of the case a mask was In vented which eliminates the discom forts of looking forward in bitter cold weather and gives the engineer a t:lear and unobstructed vision, without even glass intervening. The result Is se cured by deflecting the air currents downward as they enter the mask, and by forming a suction or draft at the bottom all air is drawn away from the engineer's face. So perfect are the re sults secured that a match held at the back of the shield burns steadily. The space between the deflecting par titions at the top and those at the bot tom of the mask is open and it Is through this Bpace that the engineer secures a clear view of the track ahead. The device Is being generally adopt ed by Canadian railroads as a safety measure and for the greater comfort of their enginemen.--Scientific Amer ican. There is no question about the fact that greater power can be concentrat ed in an electric locomotive than In one operated by steam, but it does not follow that railroad companies will accelerate the speed of their trains because they have conveniently the power necessary to do so. Within one decade after the loco motive first began hauling regular trains the world was informed that the speed of 100 miles an hour would be achieved by railway trains in the near future. When years elapsed and the 100 miles an hour velocity was not achieved, people interested put down a mile a minute, or 60 miles an hour, as the common speed of the coming railway operating, but even that pace never became common, but was attained for short distances on particular trains. Ever since the steam locomotive was developed to approach to present capacity it has been practicable to run light trains at speeds approximate ly the mile-a-mlnute pace, but that speed has been rarely indulged in. Those familiar with fast-train operat ing are aware that effecting high speed is expensive to railway companies and that the people enjoying the luxury are not inclined to pay for the extra expense incurred. It may be affirmed without fear of successful contradic tion that all the luxury trains run at speeds of more than 50 miles an hour have been sources of loss to the com panies operating Ihem. About the beginning of the present century au ugiltiiiuii in Prussia in favor of employing elec tric locomotives for maintaining high speed on what was known as the Ber lin & Zossen railway. The engines provided were very powerful and met the requirement of hauling an express train for three hours at a speed of 74.5 miles an hour. The required per formance was achieved day after day, but it destroyed the track so rapidly that the experiment had to be aban doned after a few weeks, and it will not likely be repeated unless some other new substance more durable than steel is discovered and used in railroad construction.--Railway and Locomotive Engineering.

Year From Bright's Disease and Other Kidney Ailments PROVIDE FOR PURE WATER Greater Safety. The mere introduction of special safety devices, and of machinery and materials which, while primarily de signed to give stability and long serv ice, make for safety also, would give us little ground to hope for equaling the best European standards, if rail road heads were not also conscien tiously eager to insure their workers and patrons against accident. The vicissitudes of railway history, more over, show forcibly that^the safety of any particular line is determined by the general efficiency of its adminis tration. A road that is being finan cially exploited or run by incompetent officials is certain to have such a rec ord of accidents as that of the New Haven several years ago. Only by the raising of general standards of railway administration can we have any permanent guaranty of greater safety. But this is no reason why problems concerned with safety should not have special and careful study, given with greater co-operation be tween different roads than we have yet had. Railroads Have System Which Pro vides for Efficient Sterilization of Its Water Coolers.

"First Things" in Railroading. The Erie railroad, the first great east and west trunk line, is credited with many of the "first things" done by rai>roads in this country. It was the first railroad in the world to dispatch its train by telegraph; ran the first emigrant train over the rails, also the first cattle train and the first milk train; was the first railroad in the world to use a bell cord. The first excursion train In the United States \ was run over the Erie from Goshen, N..Y., to New York city, July 4, 1842. The first experiment ever made with sleeping cars was made by the Erie, the company building two--the "Erie" and tin) "Ontario"--in 1843. They preceded ^e Pullmans. Lord Al^erstone Early Riser.

Carlyle said': "Not one falBe man but does unaccountable mischief." And to be false all one has to do is to trample upon some moral law. There is a popular idea that one can do that with impunity; that one can do as he pleases, so he does not in fringe upon the rights of others; and that is true wften we consider that every man is interested in every other man obeying the moral laws. No man can lie, cheat, swear, get drunk, abuse his wife, gamble or in any way pollute himself without inflicting an injury to those about him. We boast much of liberty, not seeming to think that when we trample upon God's laws we are trampling upon the rights of every body around us. There Is no worse tyrant In a community than the man who violates the moral law. Mankind is so bound together in a mystic influ ence that a harm to one is a harm to all and no man can be false to him self without being false to everybody else. Lucky French Fishermen.
