THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
PeopIe's Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why il Is that so many products that
are extensively advertised. all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
ten? Tho reason Is plain-the article
did not fulfil the promises of the man
ufacturcr. This applies more particu.
larly to u 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 1t.
In an interview on the subject q
prominent local druggist says Take
for example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.

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

NEWEST IDEAS IN GIRDLES
Many Materials for Choice and Design
Is Altogether a Matter for the
Individual.

The newest girdles are made OF
rope, bead, metal. fabric and chenille.
The latter are particularly well liked
as are also those made of pierced
metal pieces run with ribbon and OBJ
tainablc 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 i'll either
gilt, silver or oXdized.
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 a knot. be-
ing both practical and ornamental,
and at the same time eliminating the
knot tying wear on the girdle.

My boy! My boy!" cried the IA
ther in his anguish. Almost the words
with which the breaking Of King Da-
vid's heart was registered for all time
when they brought him word of the
death of his erring son Absalom.
Deal gently with the young man."
the old king had said to the soldiers
he sent out to capture the rebelious
youth. And when divine justice cut
him off in his sins. David cried. oh!
Absalom. my son, my son!"
Through the ages this cry has rung.
1t has burst from the heart of almost
every father whose son has commit
ted crime.
Much is written and said about the
weeping mother of the son who goes
wrong-a figure full of pathos that
obtrudes itself forcibly, often over
shadowing the equally pathetic figure
of the father of the prisoner, for
mans grief. though no less deep than
woman's clamors not from the
housetops. but broods in the dark ST.
lences Of the heart.
Fathers Grief Worse.
A mothers grief differs from fa-
TIERS in this-that she, in spite Of
overwhelming evidence. can never
believe her son to be guilty. Thus
her passionate tears are those of re-
bellion against injustice to one who
is dear to her. She will fight, as the
mothers of Carlyle Harris and Harry
Thaw fought. to save their sons from
what they believed an unjust fate. A
father on the contrary, may know his
son to be guilty. He may be obliged
to let the law take its course, to sit
silently alone at home when his son
is being led to the gallows or the
electric chair, knowing that the boy
SO dear to him is meeting a just fate.
In cases like this-and they are by no
means exceptional-the fathers grief
transcends in its miserable tragedy

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 4
half to three and half inches. and
to six. seven. eight and nine inches.
It 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.

NEEDED CAT FOR HIS HERO
