 Il was laid up with some kind of pains Some said 1t Was Lumhago, others Sciatlca and others again Rheumatism. \ few of my friends suggested that 1t was lead poison. but whatever it was 1t gave me a great deal of pam, in fact. almost com pletely crippled me. had to use two canes to walk about and even then 1t was a very painful task.
 "A friend advised me to try Dodd's Kid ney Pills and began the treatment. After l had used the first box 1 was able to throw away one of the canes and was con sideTably improved. The second box strengthened me up so that 1 could go about free from pain without any assist ance and very soon after 1 was complete ly cured. well and happy, without pain or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed te go right to the spot in my case and they will always have my greatest praise. v

there should be plenty of fulness where it ends.
 The smart trotteuse, on the other hand, reaches to the angles. Let no woman who wants to be well dressed try to make any compromise between the two. The trotteuse is admirable Tor smart occasions in the country and morning wear in town. whereas the tweed, really short skirt should be rele- gated severely to the practical pur- poses for which it is intended and should be worn with satin or silk kniekers. and suitable foot gear. with a smart warm coat which can be worn over flannel blouse or kid waisteoat.
 Now for indoor wear, l wonder if many of Us have realized the virtue of cream viyella flannel, made with simple blouse bodice? The blouse and skirt may be unlined and worn over nicely fitting slip and colored silk petticoat. if simply made these wash well. \ couple of these worn with coiored or black kid band with corresponding touch of color in the collar and Crayat can really make a most effective indoor costume at small cost
 Remember that the belt Is an impor- tant feature of the fashions of to-day, and you ought 10 be able to pick up excellent specimens of becoming waist bands.
 The frueks l have referred to can be made In any flannel. plain spotted or striped, as we'll as in printed delaines. II you once get good pattern you should be able to construct these toi- Iettes at d small cost. putting the lar ser part of the cost of this frock into a suitable band and cravat which you Will buy infinitely better and cheaper ready

While all my readers may not be able to class themselves with these fortunate sisters. the so-called idle rich, yet it is their clothes which form the basis of the styles for all. and our of the gossip about them may be drawn something practical for she wardrobes of those who must eeoEo- mize more stringently.

I A GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh. It A spares no class or nationality. The cultured and the ignorant the aristocrat and the pauper. the masses and the class es are alike subject to la grippe. None are exempt-all are liable.
 Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the grip got you? Grip is well named. The original French term. la erippe has been shortened by the busy Ameri- can to read grip" Without intesding to do so a new word has been coined that exactly describes the case As if some hideous giant with awful GRIP had clutched us in it's fatal clasp Men women. and children, whole towns and cities are caught in the baneful grip of a terrible monster.

smoke from the conduit gave the affair the
appearance of volcano and attracted a

was plainly felt. and some of the mer-

the result of an earthquake
