chiId's sacque and Kimono.

Loose sacques that can be slipped
on at moments notice are always
in demand for the wee folk, who must
be kept warm. The little sacque and
kimono illustrated are quite different
In effect, but each serves its purpose
admirably. The sacque is made of
white cashmere it'll trimming of lace
insertion and frills and the kimono
of pale blue flannel embroidered with
French knots. but both are suited to
a variety Of materials.
The sacque is made with fronts and
back that are gathered and attached
to a shallow yoke. At the neck edge
is a dig round collar that falls well
over the shoulders and the sleeves are
full and ample, gathered into wrist
bands The hmono is made in one
piece which is so shaped as to form
sleeves when tied together at the open
spaces.

Loose, oelted back coats are very
fashionable for walking suits.
The dropping shoulder line is most
fashionably imperative at present.
Tiny ruches, now a very smart
trimming feature, is an old fashion
revived
The passing Of the long coat by
spring is confidently predicted by
fashion wisacres.
The prevalent idea in dress just
now is to have everything loose and
comfortable.
Ruffles such as were in style in 1880
now trim the skirts of the smart
house gown.
Newer by far than either tucks or
shirrings are the old-time gaugings
and smockings.
A feature, wholly new, upon the
coats of tailor gowns for dress wear
is the high girdle.
Except for strictly rough-and-ready
gowns the swagger sleeve is almost
two-thirds lace.

Trlm and Pretty elrdles.

Bead belts have had their day-but
artistic creations of the kind from
abroad are always au fait. The mar
row patent leather belt that was so
undeniably trim and stylish has been
banished, and the broad belt of soft
leather or suede has taken its place.
The broad belts are unbecoming to
the average woman, they are very
expensive and call for high-priced

Kidney Pills must not be COMPOUNDED
with the ordinary patent medicine.
They are new discovery, a specific
for all diseases of the Kidneys and
have been accepted by physicians
only after careful tests In extreme
cases. DR.. Leland Williamson, of this
place heartily indorses Dodd's Kid
ney Pills "as remedy for the vari-
Gus forms of the diseases of the Kid

the region of the Kidneys, fouLsmell-

dition of the urine, discharges of pus
or corruption. Gout, Rheumatism. In

Continuing he says:
Il could mention many cases In
which | have prescribed Dodds Kid
ney Pills with success. For instance,

times, kidneys weakened continual
pain and soreness in back, which
made him very nervous, had a little
fever and sometimes chilly. Urine

about six weeks he was entirely

Woman Found the Food That Fitted
Her.
A newspaper woman went out to a
Colorado ranch to rest and recuperate
and her experience with the food
probably is worth recounting.
"The woman at the ranch was pre-
eminently the worst housekeeper
have ever known-poor soul, and poor
me!
Il simply had to have food good
and plenty of it, for | had broken
down from overwork and was so weak
| could not sit up over one hour at a
time. knew l could not get we'll IN
less | secured food / could easily di-
gest and that would supply the great
est amount of nourishment
"One day l obtained permission to
go through the pantry and see what l
could find. Among other things |
came across a package of Grape. Nuts
which | had heard of but never tried.
/ read the description on the package
and become deeply interested, so then
and there | got a saucer and some
cream and tried the famous food.
1T tasted delicious to me and
seemed to freshen and strengthen me
greatly so | stipulated that Grape
Nuts and cream be provided each day
instead of other food, and | literally
lived on Grape-Nuts and cream for
two or three months.
"If you could have seen how fast |
got well it would have pleased and
surprised you. am now perfectly
we'll and strong again and know ex.
actly how got well and that was on
GrapeNuts that furnished me a pow.
erful food l could digest and make use
of.

can afford to overlook Grape-Nuts

the ANTIQUITY OF CHESS.
Game Played for More Than Five
Thousand Years.

N@Ho TidJSu TOT more Than Five
Thousand Years.
Chess, now being played between
ocean steamers by means OF wireless
telegraphy, is the Oldest of games, and
1t is a striking contrast that it offers
itself for easy operation to the latest
triumph Of modern science. 1t was
generally assumed until now that the
ancient Indians had invented chess,
that 1t was introduced from India to
Persia In the sixth century by the Ar.
abs, and that In consequence of the
crusades it spread from East to West.
It Is true the Chinese-who invented
many things in time long gone, but
which had to be re-invented in Eu.
rope-assert that they can trace chess
IN their own country to about two
hundred yeNrs before our era. Now
there can certainly be no doubt in the
character of the figures at present
used, and in some of the words con-
nected with the game, an Indian, Per-
sian and Arabic influence is trace
able. Excavations on the pyramid
field Of Sakkara some time ago
brought to light wall painting, on
which a high official is represented as
playing chess with partner, at the
time OF the government of King Teta,
who belonged to the sixth dynasty.
Prof. Lepsius formerly assigned the
reign OF that monarch to about the
year 27OO b. c. Prof 5rugsch, cor.
Eecting this chronology. puts it back
to still greater antiquity, to the year
$500 B. c., 80 that chess would have
been known in the once mysterious
land of Misraim something like $500
years ago.

MIR. HiIIyer's Burglar Alarm.

Mr.. Hillyer was a heavy sleeper.
He was a man, also, with a chronic
fear of burglars. 1t was these two
things that led him to have the win
dow of his sleeping room equipped
with burglar alarm of the latest and
most approved description.
A few mornings after the device had
been installed he came down to
breakfast with grin on his face.
Il had a funny dream last night,
he said. II dreamed that burglar
raised my window and the alarm went
off, but he didn't seem to mind it. He
rumaged the bureau drawers, found
my watch and pocketbook and slipped
out the way he came in. BY the way,
he added, II forgot to bring down my
watch and pocketbook. I'll go and
get them"
He went upstairs and returned in a
moment with an entirely different look
on his face. The watch and pocket
book were gone. 1t had not been a
dream.-Youth's Companion.
