Encourage Indian Art.

Mrs. James w. Pinchot, mother Of
Clifford Pinchot, formerly United
States forester, is leading a move
ment to interest American women in
the articles of adornment and utility
made by Indians. She advises the
women to buy bags. caps and belts
made of silk. beads and feathers by
the aborigines. Mrs. Pinchot began
interesting her friends in the handi-
work of Indian women when she
started to collect rare samples Of
needle and bead work made by In
dians in the west. She has studied
much about the textile industries Of
the American redskin, and examples
of lace collected by her have been
placed in the national museum. where
they attract the attention of women
visitors more quickly than almost
anything else displayed.

The SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
PEOPLES Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that SO many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
ten? The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfil the promises of the man
ufacturer. This applies more particu-
larly to a medicine. A medicinal prep
aration that has real curative value al
most sells itself, as like an endless
chain system the remedy is recon-
mended by those who have been cured,
to those who are in need of it.
In an interview on the subject
prominent local druggist says Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation 1 have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case 1t
shows immediate results. as many of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that know OF has so

The success OF DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root Is due to the fact that 1t fulfils
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder diseases, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

STORY OF JAPANESE GOWNS
Interesting Facts Concerning tho
Origin of Garments Worn In the
Island Empire.

Nearly every woman nowadays
cherishes Japanese gown for house
wear without realizing how interest
ing garment 1t is. The sleeves them
selves have curious history. From
the middle of the sixteenth century
they began to increase in length and,
especially those for young ladies, have
extended till now they are from three
to four feet. This style, known as
furisode, became very fashionable.
The width of the obi, or sash, has
also varied, at first from two and a
half to three and half inches, and
to six, seven, eight and nine inches.
1t is interesting to note that our
own new fashions in sleeves and
sashes originated among the common
people of Japan, and from them were
finally adopted by the upper classes.
The young ladies of the Samuri class
were the first to follow the popular
styles in this respect. and the higher
classes began to follow suit, until now
these fashions prevail everywhere.
1t Is only from about the middle of
the seventh century that the women
of the lower classes began to wear
the long haori, or overcoat, at present
SO common among all classes OF both
sexes. This garment was originally a
duster worn by men to protect their
clothes when outdoors. and was then
called dofuku. or travelling coat.
Finally they came to be worn In
doors, and the women adopted the
garment. The upper classes. in time
followed the same custom, and now
the haori is an indispensable part of
the clothing to be worn on formal oc-
casions, even in summer

NEWEST IDEAS IN eIRDLEs
Many Materials for Choice and Design

Individual.

The newest girdles are made OF

The latter are particularly well liked.
as are also those made of pierced
metal pieces run with ribbon and OBJ
tainable in assorted colors. There
are also those made of colored pyroxy-
lin, ribbon laced. These pyroxylin
girdles. while extremely light in
weight, have an effect similar to the
heavier metal ones. Another of this
class of girdle is the heavy linked
chain or metal rope, made In either
gilt, silver or oxidized.
Due to the great popularity of cord
girdles. there have been manufactured
special ornamental pins in plain and
chased effects, also set with colored
stones, intended for use as fastening
for the girdles in place of knot, be-
ing both practical and ornamental.

pleasure. OF course, he paid back
sheesh to Abdul Hamid, who winked
at his highwaymanry. From all that
can learn, Ibrahim Pasha played a
fairer game than the sultan. He had
thirty thousand men under his COM
mand, and ruled them with an iron
hand. The Young Turks properly de-
cided that there could be but one pow.

his followers were destroyed, with tho

That there should be direct rela-

of chewing tobacco and the prosperity
of thousands of natives In Asia Minor,
Syria and Mesopotamia, is one of the
many paradoxes of this world that is

CO requires licorice, and licorice grows
here, so thousands of natives make a
poor livelihood by gathering the root,
which they sell to the agents of the

Ruins, ruins. ruins, are the charac-

Some of the roads are fair; some
stretches are worse than the worst
America knows. Most of the traffic
is by donkey and camel caravans, and
these patient beasts, with their deep
sounding and musical bells, bearing
great loads OF hemp and grain, may
be passed at all hours of the day and
night They travel in companies, for
mutual protection. Foreigners are ex-
pected to have an escort of one or
more zeptiehs, or soldiers, but these
unkempt fellows are a nuisance, and
mere petty grafters. No American
would count much on the protection
of one of them. A zeptieh of mine
dropped his rifle in the road and a
wagon ran over It! He wanted me to
buy him a new one.

ruins on the way here is at Membij
