Summer Mourning
To the r.ditor of Woman's Page:
Dear Madam I am a nirl of nineteen and
havo been In mournlnp for my mother for the
lant threo month. Would It bo correct for mo
to wear white during the summer? FUANCKS.
All white, especially for one of your age
Is correct, but you should be careful to mako
It pure white or all black, with white collar
and cuffs.
A white gown worn with a black nnd
white hat and black shoes would bo half
mourning, whereas a white gown, white
shoes, white hat trimmed with dull white
taffeta or white crepo Is considered as deep
as all black and Is suitable for a young per
son It Is very expensive, however, as It
must be perfectly correct. Some persons
prefer for this reason to keep to black.
Wears Another Man's Iting
To the Editor of Woman's Pane:
Bear Aladam I am engajred to a Blrl and I
aw another fellow's ring on her finger. She
swears she does not go with him. that he Is
only a friend and lnt her the ring for one day
only. Could you tell mo If I should get angry
"' hrJ a. 8. 1.
It Is Just possible the young woman may
have been teasing you. Since she Is en
gaged to you,- however, she should hardly
wear another man's ring; reason with her
and try to make her see that she was In. the
wrong.
Mending Rug
To the Editor 0 IVomoa's Jooe:
Dear Madam Please tell ma how to mend a
rug that has begun to wear In one or two
Plates. (Mrs.) o'x.
Lay the rug smoothly upon something
soft and sleazy, wool crash or serge, and
fasten It so the threads run true with those

matching the darning wool to the colors. It
there is a hole put the wool double into a
very large needle, then stick;. through from

Wheat
0N12 of the oldest and certainly the mot
valuable remedies In the treatment of
constipation Is ordinal y wheat bran Hrnn
contains a large amount of cellulose, in an
Indigestible form The apprehension which
sonio authors h.ivi cxpnssed concerning tlio
irritating effects of bran .11 u wholly with
out foundation As a matter of fact, when
well boftened with water, bran Is no longer
an Irritant, but Is an emollient The thin
films of cellulose become as soft and pliable
as wet paper, and excite the bowel, not
by scratching or Irritating It. but by a gen
tle titlllatlnu. wi to speak, and bv giving
to the food suillcient mas to distend the
Intestine nnd stlniul.ito it to igorous ac
tivity. In Its ordinary commercial form, bran
is scarcely fit for use, on account of the
large amount of dirt which it contain, In
cluding multitudes of lurteila Kor in
testinal ue as a la'xatlve, it should be
carefully piepated by thoinugh cleaning
and vagning 01 mo wneai ueioro kii-ciuik
and by sterilization of tho bran One or
two rounded teaspoonftils should be taken
nt each meal, tho amount depending
upon th chai.tcter of other foods taken.
The writer has never seen any 111 effects
from the uvo of sterilized bran Hran Is a
much more ctllclent laxative than mineral
waters of any sort, besides being harnile.,
while mineral waters aio injurious Many
persons wboe bowels can no longer bo
made to act by means of pills or other
drug laxatives respond readily to the sys
tematic use of bran, either by Itself or
combined with mineral oil.
Fruit Between Meals
Is It Inrmful to eat modnr.itely nf ripe fiult
between mMla ' 11. 11 I'
It Is mobt certainly unwise to annoy the
stomach with continual eating of fiult or ot
any other substances; but If iinvthlng Is to
bo taken between meals, lipe fiult Is of
all substances tho most pel inissible. because
It requires virtually no gastric work. A
rlpo apple, for example, contains nothing
which 1 entities gnstilc digestion. Tho
amount of protein Is so small as to lie vl
tually negligible. The rarhohvdrates njo
already converted Into sugar leady for Im
mediate absoiptlon. Tin re Is no fat present.
Well-ripened fruit has been not onlj cooked
In the sun, but digested as well These
rimatks do not apply to such fruits as
titled dates, figs or bananas, but only to
fresh, juicy fruits. An orange or an apple
taken at bedtime or before breakfast in
the motnlng is sometimes beneficial In cases
of chronic constipation
Teething Babies and Stomach Troubles
Whv do teething babies usually have stomich
truublc? -MBS T !'
Teething Is a normal process nnd it Is
not necessary for tho stomach and bowels
Jo be out of order Such troubles nre
usually tho result of giving the child Im
proper food or food not properly prepared
or some other error In the euro of tho child.
Neurasthenia
Doss prolapse of tho stomach and bowels pro
dure neurar,thenla? M. T MARSHALL.
Weakness of the trunk muscles results In
a sagging of the abdominal wall and a pro
lapse of tho organs. This may possibly
causo gastrlo or pelvic neurasthenia, but
such cases must be very rare. Neurasthenia
is usually due to Intestinal toxemia re
sulting from constipation and the absorp
tion of poisons from the intestine.

THE TRUTH
Our advertisements are just the plain facts about our goods plainly
stated no extravagant statements, no sailing under false colors in a word,
just the TRUTH.
This has been the principle followed by the founders of the Acme Tea
Co., Robinson & Crawford, The Bell Co., Childs' Grocery Co. and the Geo. M.
Dunlap Co. for more than twenty-five years. It is this principle followed out
that has first GAINED and then MAINTAINED Public Confidence and is
now in evidence in the hearty endorsement by "Our Customers," in many
cases of lifetime standing, of the American Stores Co.
"Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil" is an old saying and means a
whole lot in the school of morality, and is likewise applicable in the field of
business endeavor.

XXVI Wit
IVfOKi: liefnro my fntlicr came home
from vvntclilw? nnd Btnycd nvvnlte, for
thli uns to bo tho lilft day.
I washed my hands and face separate nnd
wiped them on the sheet, lieruuse nil else
Is In tho laundry. Then 1 toolt tho hatchet
nnd opened n can of dried beet that I had
been uslnft to ki-ep the kitchen donropeti
ever since the funei'al of my mother. I felt
kind of sorry for myself nnd cried n tear
nr two on to tho pickle 1 was usInK with
tho dried beef. 1 Rave Ilovvdy tho test of
tho dried beef and wo went loplnB down the
street past tho C'atpenters'
It was not light yet, but 1 heaid Ihe little
monkej-fiue In tho comer house where the
new people live .vellliiB Its head off. Then
1 felt khoiI, for Just suppose t had got
that Instead ot tho baby sister I havo prayed
for but havo not Kol I
After that we loped home and I took all
the motley. nut of my father's pocket and wo
I ambled over to tho tlrtiK storo and tho
mail at the cltriir counter Ravo me a hand
ful nf nickels for my money, There is a
placo then- wheto you ko Into a little square
loom nnd there Is a foam and n chair.
Howdy and 1 crowded lu totrother and I
kissed Howdy slaplmiiB on tho nose, for I
was about to try out my new scheme and
I was excited.
I put tho foam to my ear and a lady said,
'Number, please." I said, "Heaven." Hhe
i-ald, "What?" t said, "Listen, lady. This
Is l'atsy Klldaro and my mother Is In
heaven and I want to talk tu her T havo
Rot money enoURh to talk to her nil day,
so n-f If oii can Ret her," Tho lady said,
"What's that?" Ko t said It all over ntratn.
1 told her I did not know my inothei's num
ber, but just to call up heaven and ask for
Mrs. Kl'.dato who used to live on Caroline
street.
The lady said. "Walt Just a minute and I
will see If I cm Ret her." That mndo ma
so happy that 1 danced up and down and
luiiKhed nnd cried and liURKed Ilovvdy an
well as t could while IiuiirIiir on to the
foam. 1'or 1 had been so afraid that she
would tell me the first rattle out of tho box
that they did not have a lino to heaven. I
was so nervous nnd trembly that I could
baldly hold the fo.im I sat lu the chair
and put my head In my elbow and shook,
but ou bet I kept the foam lo my ear.
Then a olco said, "Hello!" I said, "Hello,
mother' mother; mother! oh, my mother!"
Then I choked.
Soon 1 heaid the lady's voice saying,
"This Isn't your mother, Patsy. This Is
central. We could not Ret heaven, you
know, wo had a storm not long ano. There
hasn't been any who to heaven since that
time 1 don't know how soon thero will be,"
Of course I was disappointed, but still I
was happy, for tho wires aro bound to be
fixed Mimo tlmo and that Is a lot better
than not havlnR wires there. Ko I went
to a innvhiR-pltclier show. My heart was
trvlnR to sltiR inside of me and I was much
