A Petticoat
Of Unusual
Opens at the store today and ladies are invited to call
And pass their opinions on it,
There's a difference in underskirt fashions this year
a difference so marked that vou cannot fail to notice it at
a glance. Gaudy stripes nnd plaid effects of other days
have all hut vanished, and in their place we show rich, solid
coloring of various lines, and of course, the always dressy
Black.
Then in the matter of materials there are Moreens,
Satinettes, Good Sateens, Spun Silks, All Silk Taffetas, etc
but the most popular, and satisfactory of all the new sea
sons Petticoats is the better class of mercerized goads They
equal in appearance the best of silks, but have a body and
wearing qualities iu them such as silken weaves never knew
We recommend them, and you'll like them.
Now a word on styles. Accordeou-pleat Flounces
te.much in vogue. These are finished with dainty ruffles,
Ruschings, Cordings etc, in our endless variety of combiua
tion effects. Then there are deep clusters of Rufflings, Bi
ased 'Ruffles with Rusching and Corded tops and any num
ber of dainty conceits that are bound to win your admira
tion and best of all, there is no reason to worry over prices.

GRADUALLY DIMINISHING.
That Is Health Officer Allen's Opin
ion of the Epidemic of Scarlet
Fever and Diphtheria.
Health Olllccr Allen when seen yes
terday, and asked for an opinion on
tho present status of the epidemic of
scarlet fever and diphtheria, stated
that In his belief It was gradually
diminishing and that he hoped before
soiing that It would be practically a
thing of the past.
He stated that he attributed this In
a large degree to the preventive meas
ures taken by the board of health,
and was very much nnnoyed nt the
criticisms which have been made of
the board's course of action, stating
that they were made, as a general rule,
by unthinking persons.
An Interesting experiment was re
cently ttled for the purpose of ascer
taining whether the formaldehyde gas
used In disinfecting the various school
rooms permeated to every portion ot
the room, It having been contended
that It ascended, leaving the lower
et rata of air untouched.
Two dishes full of water were placed
on the floor of a room Into which the
gas was being forced. This water was
afterwards analyzed by Prof. Welles,
of the High school, and was found to
contain all essential elements of the
gas, thus showing conclusively that It
docs penetrate to every part of a room.
