He hadn’t any hair to spare and now you can’'t find a pin- feather on his head with a search warrant. Then there was Jimmy Burrill, who already had such stiff knees that he couldn’t bend over to pick up a horse shoe. He's so stiff now that he is thinking of accepting an engagement as an ossified man. Bill Haight, who wanted something for his stomach got some of your light- ning hair grower, and now he has a coat of fur all over his stomach.” The professor began to realize that he hadn't got the right labels back on his bottles and boxes. Then he let Bill into his confidence. The mistakes were rectified so far as possible. But the professor didn’t make his promised monthly call at Simson’s Corners. He thought he would wait till next month. And he got a water- proof covering for his wagonette. (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) DISCOVERIES OF THE PAST First Language, Then Fire, Then the Bow and Arrow, Says Eng- lish Scientist, Prof. R. D. Carmichael, a noted Eng- lish scientist, discoursing on the ten- denclee of modern discovery, refers to the probable order of the epoch-mak- ing discoveries of the past, starting with language. The next important step, he thinks, was the discovery of fire, which not only rendered cookery possible but also enabled man to travel away from the tropics to which he must have been originally confined, and the third he considers to have been the bow and arrow, insuring a supply of flesh-food, which became in- creasingly important as man spread into cooler climes. Afterwards came pottery, the more or less complete domestication of cat- tle and sheep, the dog and the horse, the gradual introduction of husbandry and tillage, the consequent fixing of abode, and the ideas of community and nationality. The next great advance seems to have been the smelting of fron, and the next the use of writing, after which there appears to have been a period of quiescence. Then came the medieval discoveries a short time only covering such great inventions as gun- powder, the mariner's compass, paper and the printing preess. Naturally, after this period ofrapid advance came the inevitable reaction, and nothing of equal importance fol- lowed until the nineteenth century brought the steam engine and ushered in the epoch of modern invention, which is too crowded to discuss in de- tail. There is a great contrast between the tendency of modern invention and primitive discoveries, nearly all of which must have been made by acci- dent. Professor Carmichael consid-; weeks yet.

Miss Sim- son, who had been afflicted with an unsightly growth of hair on her cheek bought a box or two of the Superflo Salve, warranted to remove hair growths with four applications. Old Daddy Smith, who hadn't seen a hair for ten years on a section of his cranium as big as a pancake, went broke buying Hairine, warranted to grow hair on anything short of a Hubbard squash, Bill Johnson, who was troubled with weak knees, got some pills which the professor declared were great muscle builders and would stiff- en up a clothesline until you could use pieces of it for drills. Jimmy Burrill, the blacksmith, whose joints were stiff with the rheu- matism, laid in a lot of salve that the professor assured him was an In- fallible joint-cathartic, relieving the most obstinate case of stiff hinges. The professor had a remedy for every disease, allment, affliction or annoyance that the inmates of an asylum for hypochondriacs could imagine, and it was dead easy to sat- isfy Simson’s Corners. He had come “Into their midst” as a welcome guest. He left it as a benefactor and he smiled benevolently as he drove away next morning, assuring the pop- ulation, which had gathered to see him leave, that he would call again in a month and see how they were get- ting along. “1 hope I got the right labels back on,” he mused to himself as he flicked a fly off the nigh horse’s right ear. But long before the month was up the people of Simson’s Corners found i out that something was wrong. It was not that the medicines of the professor were without effect. Per contra, decidedly. He hadn't sold | them rainwater and belladonna for the rheumatism or soft soap for stiff joints. The salve wasn't cinnamon bark and glycerine, neither was the Hairine made of cucumber oil and, podophyllin. The medicines enough, all right, all right. That wasn't the trouble. The trouble was that the wires had got crossed in some way, and everybody seemed to have drawn the wrong number in the hygienic lottery. Stifft joints got stiffer and weak knees got weaker. Fat men got fatter and thin women got thinner. It was like going down hill and they couldn't stop the effects of the stuff. They emptied the bottles and boxes, but it kept on af- fecting them just the same. They had got the medical principle into their systems; and the professor would not be back that way for two were powerful 3 = ST SHIHEHE 10 DBDDPBFEOBBIB I NEW CORSET WILL BE LIKEDI Better Adapted to the Figure Than Any That Has Been Designed Recently. The new high bust corset, which comes four inches above the waist line and is just high enough to form a support for the base of the bust, is the corset to be worn with the new style bodices. The top is just full enough for the flesh to rest easily in- side the corset. Then there will be no pushing up of the bust, no com- pressing of the diaphragm. There is a great difference between the old and the new style of high-bust corsets. To preserve the large walst, which s still fashionable, these new corsets are made with a full back. Some also have small gussets under- neath each shoulder blade, while oth- ers have sufficient fullness to form a ripple at the top. The skirt of these corsets is long over the thighs in the back, with a slightly shortened line in front, the flat back and the large walst with a slight curve at the side- fronts. The materials are soft and oliable and the boning light. The reason for the change of cut of corsets is the semi-fitting character of the fashionable dresses and waists, which makes necessary corsets which hold the bust in a slightly higher posi- tion. These dresses are not tight, but they are semi-fitted, with a dart over the bust to accentuate the curve, whether the garment fits snugly or otherwise. i These bodices are in several styles. Some are buttoned straight in front, G DHBOGPOUGODGHHI RS RRTR IR R TR “NEW SYSTEM our new system living, and also v G B e B B DB BB B B D B PR A AR SR R -— Mayes Grocery Company "WHOLESALE GROCERS “A Business Without Books” E find that l_qlv prices ard long time will not go &% haud in hand,!and on May 1st we installed our PAGE SEVEN R S —— with plain front sections which are darted and have under-arm gores, Others are in surplice effects, the cressover pieces being drawn tightly over the bust. High girdles are also in fashion, which are of the same height all around, reaching a point even with the base of the bust. Some- times the girdle is drawn in at the front. Again it may have buttons from the top of the lower edge. Over these fitted girdles the bust would fall loosely if it were not supported by the corset. There are also low-bust corsets for the slender and compact figures, which will wear garments suitable for them. There are also models designed es- pecially for dancing, which have a| shorter skirt in front and elastic in- serts in the back. The tops of these are low, and there is an elastic band around the top edge from side to side. For the schoolgirl there are low and medium-sized corset waists with long! corset skirts and front steel fasten-| ing. These corset waists so closely resemble the regular corset that young girls feel quite satisfied with! them. New Cross Stitch Work. There is a new sort of cross stltchl work which is used for bed spreads, table covers, cushions and other big articles of household decoration. It is made on heavy ecru linen, with threads of gay-colored cotton. The design has Japanese heads worked in big frames of color and a floral design here and there as wall.
