FADS AND FANCIES
OF WOMEN
Novelties in Their Attire
For This Fall
GD.-aL JEWELRY IS THE RAGE
Checks, Plaids, Striqes and Mixed
Goods Offer a Vast Variety to
Tempt the Dressy Girls-Poin*
ters From the Headquarters
of Fashion.
(Special Correspondence Times-Recor
der.)
NEW YORK, August 31.—Early Fall
styles are now being shown in mater
ial suits and hats. It is reported that
small hat will be worn for a while
and that many will be made of fine
qualitites of cloth, which is quilted
before being draped on the hat. If
this he true, it is quite evident that
braids will have a party to play in
millinery.
The Autumn materials offer such
pretty novelties in checks, plaids,
stripes and mixed goods. The'plaids
will be seen mostly in the separate
skirts, as designers find it diffluclt to
produce good lines in a coat made of
that material. The chevron stripe
in the montone or mixed colors the
narrow stripes showing a mingling
of three colors, and the medium stripe
showing a mingling of three colors,
and the medium stripes in two-tone ef
fects, will he shown for the new
suitings. Scotch cheviots and broad
cloth will he considered for the more
elaborate suits, and for the cos
tumes, soft satin-finished silks and
pliable velvet will be much In de
mand.
Humlkcrehicfs In Colors.
j Prettier than ever are the designs
in colored handkerchiefs that are-con
tinually being shown. A favorite one
is pale lavender crossed off with a
border of blue check and is particu
larly dainty looking. The pale tan
can be found barred off with every
obtainable color, so that this problem
is not a difficult one.
Veils are shown.in all kinds anil
varieties. The chiffon veil still holds
its purpose for automobiling and trav
eling, it being tied over the hat and
fastened seeeruely at the nape of the
neck. The net veil invariably has an
inch or two of fluted border of chif
fon sewed all around it, or a plain
band of velvet ribbon may be chosen
in the place of the fluted border. Black
desprit makes an elaborate lace veil
with a delicate border of black lace.
This veil is cut to fit the hat, curved
in the upper part and wider In the
back than in front. It folds prettily
about the face, and just touches the
shoulders all the way around.
My Lady’s Dog.
Fashionable women who have the
pec Jog craze have gone a step far
ther in their devotion to these ani
mals. The dog that accompanies my
lady must be chosen to match her
gown, with reference to color and en- (
tertainment. A woman in mouring
should carry a Pomeranian, or King
Charles spaniel. To go with a light
afternoon frock, a white poodle or
lighe tan Yorkshire terrier is quite
correct. The homely brindle bull ter
rier is the only choice for the athele
tic girl, and the Irish setter for the
sportswoman. With a walking aress,
the greyhound should be tht, c noire
and with the cheviot tailor raadeTthe
French bulldog is the thing.
Worsted suitings come to the front
for the early fall models. The short
skirted walking suits are plaited and
trimmed with hands of self-trimming.
In coats, the tendency is toward the
tliimb length or 30 inch coat, made,
semi-loose or three quarter fitting.
Velvet collar and cuffs are shown on
some and others are finished With the
same material as the suit.
Coral Jewelry the Rage.
Jewelry made from coral is at pres
ent in great demand. The blush pink
has taken the lead of the red, while
white is used only in mourning. Such
handsome festoon necklaces are shown
in coral or combined with pears and
other jewels. Coral cameos made in
scarf pins, bracelets, brooches and
earrings are all favored styles. They
are not only carved in classic heads,
’hut in minature busts, skulls and var
ious animal and bird heads.
It is a little difficult to tell wheth
er braids will continue to be used
through the winter months as but few
models have been received from Paris.
Nearly all the models in long separate
coats shown on this side of the water,
are elaborately braided with soutache
and other braids or silk embroidery.
The soutache braid is the most fav
closely as to look as though it is a
part of the material.
For some time combs and hair or
naments have been given much at
tention by the jewelers. So many of
the combs have jeweled hacks while
some have solid gold trimmings. The
dainty designs in billiants are per
haps as attractive as any. Back
combs are still growing larger. Mas
sive ones are made in exact imitation
of those worn by our great-grandmo
thers. The pearl grey combs that
were first brought out a few years ago
and received with a little faiTor are
in great demand at the present time.
They are made plain and mounted and
are worn to match the hair.
The ostrich plumes, which, this sum
mer, has been the favorite trimming
aside from flowers, will be used to a
great extent on all fall hats. It will
be taken from the summer hat and
put on the next fall hats, possibly
dyed another color. A heavy beauti
ful feather shows off to the be'St ad
vantage,' when it sweeps across the
crown from right to left, and hangs
gracefully over the left ear. Parti
cularly handsome are the white ones
with shaded tips of shell pink or
pale lemon, or those of a dark color
growing lighter at the end.

RHEUMATIC FOLKS!
Are You Sure Your Kidneys Are
Well*
Many rheumatic attacks are due
to uric acid in the blood. But the
duty of the kidneys is to remove all
uric acid from the blood. Its pres
ence there shows the kidneys are in
active. Don’t dally with “uric acid
solvents.” You might go on till dooms
day with them, but until you cure
the kidneys you will never get well.
Doan’s Kidney Pills not only re
move uric acid, but cure the kidneys
and then all danger from uric acid
is ended.
B. B. Thompson, of Thomasville,
Ga., says: "I have been taking Doan’s
Kidney Pills for about three weeks
and find they have done me more
good than anything else I ever tried.
I was afflicted for a long time with
kidney .troubles, pain in the small of
my back, dizzy spells, headaches, rheu
matic pains, and felt languid and
tired most of the time. The kidney
secretions were too frequent and I
had to get up five or six times at night
to pass them. Nothing did me any
good until I used Doan’s Kidney Pills,
and the first few doses made me feel
a great deal better. I have kept on
with them, improving all the time
and felt compelled to write you about
it and to give Doan’s Kidney Pills all
the praise I can.”

DOPE IS DENIED THEM
AND BOTH ARE DEAD
Sad Fate of Will Hare and
His Wife.
VICTIMS BOTH OT MORPHINE HABIT
And Because of Inability to Secure
the Drug Longer They Die Mis
erably-Dopers in Ameri
cus Suffering Also.
Will Hare has followed his un
fortunate wife to the grave, both dy
ing within a brief period, victims, it
is said, of the terrible morphine habit.
The husband lingered miserably for
two or three days and was buried yes
terday morning in Atlanta.
Both these unfortunates were form
er residents of Americus.
With their supply of “dope” sud
denly cut off by virtue of the bill
recently passed by the legislature,
these unfortunates died miserably, as
will matty others of their kind.
While Americus has comparatively
few people who exist upon narcotics
they are here, nevertheless, and al
ready there is the most acute suffer
ing among them. Druggists listen to
tearful entreaties from some of these
as they beg for tile dru<\,. ?
Unquestionably there are numbers
of persons throughout the Statr who
are addicted to the habit of taking
narcotic drugs.
To deprive them suddenly of these
drugs means insanity or death, so
fierce is the craving that comes upon
them. The Legislature failed to make
any provisions for caring for these un
fortunate persons.
In the case of those who are well
to do, it makes no difference for
they will be easily able to procure the
drugs to which their systems have be
come accustomed.
But with the poorer classes, those
who have contracted these habits and
have no money with which to employ
a physician or to procure a prescrip
tion, the situation is a serious one. It
is expected that deaths will follow
from similar cause.

DENATURED ALCO
HOL RULES
Those That Go Will Be in Ef
fect From Now On.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ August 31.
The denatured alcohol.. regulations,
which were made necessary by the
amendatory act passed by the last
Congress, will come into effect to
morrow. The old regulations were
found to be unncessarily stringent at
some points and the new regulations
will liberalize materially the Gov
ernment’s method of handling the de
natured alcohol industry.
Under the new regulations, in addi
tion to denaturing warehouses on dis
tillery premises, central denaturing
warehouses may be constructed at
such points as business interests may
require, and alcohol may be transfer
red from denaturing warehouses by
means of tanks or tank cars to con
sumers.
Manufacturers using completely de
nuated alcohol are not required to
swear to an application for permit.
One of the most important features
of the new regulations is that relat
ing to the construction and operation
of industrial or farm distilleries, which
may produce alcohol from anything
that contains fermentable matter. In
dustrial distilleries are divided into
tw’o classes. In the first class are
placed distilleries of a surveyed capa
city of fifty proof gallons. Distiller
ies of the second class are those that
produce more than fifty gallons and
less than one hundred gallons of dis
tilled spirits daily.
Manufactuers using specially dena
tured alcohol are under the new regu
lations relieved from keeping a re
cord of the goods in the manufacture
of which denatured alcohol is used.
LETTER TO T. H. COHEN,
Americus, Georgia.
Dear Sir:—Josh Billings never said
anything truer than this: "Sucksess
duz not konsist ov makin blunders,
but in not makin the same wuz
twist.”
N. R. Watkins, of Lott, Texas, had
his house painted some years ago,
and it took 13 gallons of what he be
lieved to be paint; he bought it for
paint, and it looked like paint, the
painted said it was paint.
He has painted it again; it took 7
gallons Devoe.
It cost SOS before; now $35.
He knows it is painted now, and he’s
got that S3O in a safe place. He’s got
his knowledge in a safe place too.
Yours truly,
