BEST EVER WRITTEN
PRESCRIPTION WHICH ANYONE
CAN EASILY MIX.
Said to Promptly Overcome Kidney
and Bladder AffIictions-Shake
Simple ingredients Well
in Bottle.

Mix the following by shaking we'll
in bottle, and take in teaspoonful
doses after meals and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce:
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. A prominent physician is the
authority that these simple, harmless
ingredients can be obtained at NOM
inal cost from any druggist even in
the smaller towns.
The mixture is said to cleanse and
strengthen the clogged and inactive
Kidneys, overcoming Backache, Blad-
der weakness and Urinary trouble of
all kinds, if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease.
Those who have tried this say it pos
itively overcomes pain in the back,
clears the urine of sediment and regu-
lates urination, especially at night,
curing even the worst forms of blad-
der weakness.
Every man or woman here who feels
that the kidneys are not strong or act
ing in healthy manner should mix
this prescription at home and give 1t
a trial, as it is said to do wonders for
many persons.
The Scranton (Pa.l Times was first
to print this remarkable prescription,
in October, of 1906, since when all the
leading newspapers of New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other
cities have made many announcements
of it to their readers.

GERMANY HELPS BOYS.
Looks Up Positions for Them Before
They Leave School.

Looks UP Positions for Them Before
They Leave School.
When an American boy leaves
school he does not always know what
sort of work he wants or is fit for.
Or even when he knows exactly what
kind of a job he desires, he often does
not know at all how to find it. Such
a job as he aims for may not exist
within his opportunities of place and
time. So the boy leaving school may
drift into an unsuitable occupation, or,
worse, into no occupation at all, in
spite of an honest wish originally to
work. In Germany they order these
things better.
Every year printed schedules OF
comprehensive questions are sent to
every head teachr of the Munich
schools to be distributed among the
pupils who are going to leave the
schools that year.
The pupils are asked to put them
selves in communication with the mu-
nicipal labor bureau, which will ad-
wise them as to the choice of voca-
ton, and give them the best chance
possible to secure work.
Yearly circulars are also sent to all
the trade guilds and other labor So
cieties to enlist their cooperation.
The children respond readily to the
aid given them. Boys come by dozens
to the offices of the bureau in search
of positions as apprentice or begin
ner. Each brings a form of applica-
ton filled up by himself but signed
by his teacher.
When the bureau finds place for
him he is notified by post card and
presents himself for examination by
the employer, wherever and whenever
the latter may appoint.
Whittier the boy takes the job or
not, he must report to the bureau the
result of the interview, and this goes
on until work is procured, which suits
him and which he is able. to do.
For the direction of the boys the
labor bureau has prepared, with the
aid of expert employers and medical
men. a handbook of the industries
open to a boy. This handbook de-
scribes the different kinds of work,
the qualifications necessary to each,
the prospects of promotion or steady
employment the health conditions,
the dangers and difficulties, the cost
and time of training and everything
else which the boy and his parents
ought to know before choosing his ca
reer.
A ladies' committee has lately been
appointed to look after the girls, also
from the schools. So the young peo'
pie of Munich have first-rate chance
for good start in life.

HATS FOR LITTLE ONES.
Picturesque Headeear Adorns the |
Small Maiden.

Children of all ages have been most
picturesquely provided for by the fash
ion designers of this autumns bravery.
The very little children are always the
most fascinating to consider from the
standpoint of costuming.
BOnnets and hats for the tiny girls
to wear with fine and fragile frOcks
are quantity picturesque Some of the
newest seen at exclusive shops are
made of velvet in white, pale pink or
pale blue. Both plain and fancy vel
vets are used for this purpose, the fine
corded velvet, plush, Liberty velvet,
ETC., being noticed. Only one colored
velvets are used, however, and al
though these may be in the fancy fin
ished velvets, the designs selected are
Of the dainties and most modest.
Poke bonnets, Quaker bonnets, tiny
mushrooms and rather eccentric
shapes are all seen. The most at
tractive and stylish of the bonnets are
very moderate in size and seem almost
small when compared with the large
pokes and picture bonnets of former
seasons. The bonnets are trimmed
with flowers to match and also with
jaunty bows of silk or satin chouX.
Satin ribbon flowers are also used as
garniture.
One most charming bonnet was of
pale pink velvet. 1t was rather in
the mushroom shape, with stiff brim
all around, wider at the sides than in
front or back The crown was quite
high and full, the brim not very wide
and covered with the velvet shirred.
The bonnet was faced with shirred
pink satin. Around the crown was
laid charming wreath, in which there
were three large pink roses made OF
satin ribbon and branches of green
leaves. Where the strings of the bon
net were attached at the sides there
were also pink satin rOsettes.
An equally fascinating white velvet
bonnet was made with shirred vel
vet crown and brim. The brim was
not wide and set closely to the face.
The velvet was doubled and shirred
at the edge Of the brim to make full
soft white border around the face. The
trimming was a bunch Of white grapes
and green leaves.

pie architectural lines and in simple
color effects, in spite of elaboration
of detail. The white tailored lace
gown worn in the first act, and which
is illustrated, is of baby Irish lace,
heavily encrusted with heavy Irish
guipure motifs that form deep bor-
der. and skirt, sleeves and bodice are
finished off with tailored linen edge
set on with endless pearl buttons.
1t is tailored in more than name, for
it is a lace gown with line like that
of cloth, and the princess panel OF
linen up the front runs off into a
clever line at the bust and into al
most sailor collar effect at the top
of the blouse in the back. The tight
fitting chemisette and collar and un-
dersleeves are of delicate, weblike
point de Venise.
With this gown goes white Pana-
ma hat lined with pale blue silk
trimmed with purple and dahlia col
ored peonies, the light blue couture
ribbon merging into it cleverly, as If
it might be part of the bandeau.
snowy white satin automobile coat,
also lined with pale blue, makes it's
entrance with the dress and is worn
for minute, just long enough to
show that it has a vivid edging of
scarlet at the throat and cuffs, set
within the projecting blue lining. Ties
# black satin ribbon reaching to the
feet and a veil of white with gold
spots complete the sporting part of
the costume.
The yellow chiffon gown of the third
act might be from the jewelers. rather
than the dressmaker's. 1t is embroid-
cred in gold and green paillettes, and
coppery shades are introduced by q
glorious stole made of reddish gold
and silver lace, and all intermixed at
the yoke with creamy point de Venise
lace. The blending of the cOlors is
like that of old jewelry and the elabor-
alton is all put ON in a design in
which beautiful lines predominant, and
the sweeping lengths of yellow chiffon
are like gold background tor the
lovely metal work. This pretty frock,
in addition to it's original cost, net
ted the custom house over $500 for it's
entrance from Paris.
