Madison Independent: There was
another fire at Dawson a few nights
since. It's origin is unknown but it
is said two buildings and their con-
tents were destroyed. Dawson's
business houses will soon be all built
of brick if the burning down process
continues, for every building burned
must, under the ordinances of that
village. be rebuilt in brick.
Jim Hills latest speech indicates

last public utterance is quoted as
saying: eve need not set our eyes
on the Oriental trade. have looked

they raise all the crops that we do
in the Northwest. Their labor is
much cheaper. But we have enough
of our own. If we get down with
both feet on the ground at the same
time and try not to keep SO high in
the air, we have enough to do in the
development of our own country.
We want to save ourselves. To a
great extent we have been like boys
who have inherited from parents
who have been industrious.

What Advertising Did.

j. w. Roach, a farmer living near
Clyde, Kan, tested the efficacy of
advertising recently. He was about
to hold public acution and planned
an advertising campaign. For sew
eral weeks he announced his dates
in the local papers and the last week
came out with half-page advertise
ment, ordering 500 extra copies of
the paper for distribution. He en-
ployed four auctioneers and adver-
tised the fact. He told in an inter-
esting way, through his advertising
that he would have a big sale-and
plenty to eat. The sale was held
adjoining Clyde and the crowd that
attended was estimated at 5000.
The Clyde merchants did big bust
ness as a result. Before the event
Mr.. Roach estimated the amount of
the sale at $1,000. but it footed up
$4,000. His printing bill was S38,
and he attributes the remarkable
success of the sale to judicious use
of printers ink. He says: print
er's ink made me at least 81 800 on
that sale; | got the people there and
they bought whether they needed

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their UunCeasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part of
this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many dis eases
and symptoms in the back,
headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, dis
orders of the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with the kidneys.
Lumon A. Holson, retired farmer,
living on Flynn St., Redwood Falls,
Mimi, says: "For five or six years
| suffered from a pain through my
back and loins always so severe that
l could not stoop forward or regain
an upright position without suffer-

veIvet-Faced Fabrics.

Because of its soft and clinging
characteristics, velvet and velveteens
are suddenly coming into vogue, espe-
cially for the more elaborate order OF
tailormades, although they will be
worn in short severe suits during the
winter by girls who are within sew
eral years of making their initial bow
to society. For afternoon reception

length from 36 to So inches, usually
bearing directoire earmarks, and al
ways with full-length sleeves. When
velvet is employed solely as a ma
terial for street suit. its trimming
will be simpler and of the satin band

last season with the comparatively few
costumes worn OF that fabric.

form any conclusion of the amount OF

slushy will contain very little water

FOR AUTUMN WEAR
HEAVIER DRESS MATERIALS DIS.
TiNcTLY ADVISORY.
FouIards and VoiIes Seem to Fill the
Bill Better Than the Lighter
Stuffs Come in ALI
Shades Of Colors.

! When replenishing the wardrobe at
this time of year, it is we'll to select
materials that will not be too thin to
wear as autumn days approach.
Usually the linens-the coat and
skirt suit and the jumper dress-are
still fit to wear. while the frocks that
seem to suffer most in summer time
are the sheer lawns and dimities that
are used for afternoon festivities and
Sunday-goto-meeting occasions.
Ones wardrobe usually contains
three or four of these gowns, and they
are the most charming and dainty
things imaginable, but toward Septem-
Der there grows a need for something
fresh. something appropriate for after
Moons and evenings that seems to
breathe of autumn.
In selecting such a gown choose a
material that is soft, yet not so pliable
that ii is almost impossible for the
home dressmaker to manage.
A good material for such a gown is
foulard, or one might use crepe
foulard or voile. OF course, the very
this may rot be expensive-for lib
erty satin is procurable for rs cents a
yard-the material is so narrow that
IL requires a great deal to make even
the simplest dress.
Voiles, on the other hand are quite
possible, and we have eolie1ne and
many materials which are called by
various names, each interesting in its
own way.
We are all familiar with eolienne.
IL is a material of silk with a cord eff
feet running across the breadth of the
goods. It's prices range from one to
two dollars the yard and it measures
46 inches in width. Besides the plain
eolienne there are variations of the
same. Some are woven with a silk
diagonal, while others have broken
line. All of the eoliennes are soft and
pliable and make up beautifully In the
present mode. The eolienne with
fsncy designs costs two dollars the
y.'Td.
Or Voiles there are three varieties:
silk. wool and cotton. Cotton wolfe

chased for as little as rs cents the
yard, and it measures from 40 to 46
inches. Voiles must be made up over
silk, and usually taffeta is best for
the purpose.
Silk voiles are thin and soft and
smooth TO the touch. They may be
found in two or three qualities, rang
ing from one to three dollars per
yard. There is a chiffon wolfe which
