ONE CASE OUT OF MANY
TO PROVE OUR CLAIMS.

st. Anne, Ill.-"I was passing
through the change of life and I
was perfect wreck from female
troubles. l had a displacement
and bearing down pains, weak
fainting spells, dizziness, then
numb and cold feelings. Some-
times my feet and limbs were
swollen. l was irregular and had
SO much backache and headache,
was nervous, irritable and was
Respondent. Sometimes my ap-
petite was good but more often it
was not. My kidneys troubled
me at times and / could walk
only short distance.
saw your advertisement ina
paper and took Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and
l was helped from the first. At
the end of two months the swell
ling had gone down, l was re-
lieved of pain, and could walk
with ease. l continued with the
medicine and now l do almost all
my housework. l know your
medicine has saved me from the
grave and 1 am willing for you to

THE CHlLDREN'S HEALTH

In observing the physical character
lstics of her children, the careful moth
er soon learns that health is depend
ent on the regularity of the bowels.
When the bowels become clogged with
the stomach's refuse. loss of appetite,
restlessness, irritabillty. and similar
evidences of disorder are soon appar-
ent. Keep the bowels regular and
healthy. happy child ia assured.
At the first sign of constipation the
mother should administer mild laxa-
tive to carry off the congested waste
from the stomach that is fermenting
and forcing poisonous gases into the
system. A simple compound of laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin is highly recon-
mended as being very mild. yet posi-
tive, in its action. teaspoonful at
bedtime usually serving to bring an
easy, thorough, natural movement
next morning. This compound Is
known as Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin
and is sold by druggists everywhere
for soc bottle. A larger bottle. put
up especially for the family medicine
chest, costs one dollar.
The use Of salts and violent purga-
tives and cathartics should be avoid
ed. They are too harsh and drastic,
tending to upset the entire system.
Write to Dr. w. b. Caldwell. 203 West
ST., Monticello ILL.,. for trial bottle
of his Syrup Pepsin. II you have never
used it. He will>be glad to send 1t
without any expense to you. Adv.

Echoes Of Fashion.

Many OF the newest coat models In
black taffeta and satin are cut away
sharply from the bust into long
pointed tail at the back.
Nearly all thin or transparent IA
brics are made with slightly bout
fant over-skirt suggestive of the pam
nier, but for those figures which can
not stand this arrangement around the
hips there is the tunic. which though
falling almost plain from the waist, Is
cut with rounded edge just above
the knees, slightly gathered into lace
insertion or trimming. and edged with
silk fringe few inches in depth This
gives the pannier effect, yet keeps the
fullness away from the hips.

WINTER WRAP DESIGNS
SIMPLICITY NOT A FEATURE OF
THE NEW STYLES.
Prominent Idea 10 the Large Collars,
Meant to Be Rolled Up About the
Ears In Extrem. Cold
Weather.

The new wraps. designed for the
coming winter. are long, loose, roomy
affairs, whether they are to be used
for general utility or for dressy wear.
With all their apparent simplicity.
they are carefully cut. and, in fact.
anything but simple.
Heavy clothes, for ordinary wear
are used In the coats designed for COM
fort. Collars are large and arranged
to roll up about the neck when need
ed The two-faced fabrics will be
popular again. providing reversible
garments in some instances. A gray
coat. having reverse side in ame-
thyst color may be worn either side
out Dark blueoor black with re-
verse side In heather color is another
chic combination. For street wear
the sober colors are chosen; for the
auto ride. and for many other occa-
sions the brighter colors provide q
better choice. These heavy coats are
as warm, almost, as fur, and have GER
tain advantages over these luxurious
garments.
Evening wraps and those designed
with an eye to grace and beauty. are
much draped The kimono coat holds
It's own along with the new wraps of
satin and velvet. The combination of
rich embroideries with dark solid col
or fabrics must be conceded to be
most beautiful. Wraps of black sat

colors, are draped much in the man

The clepsxdra of Canton.

One of the most extraordinary
clocks in the world is the clepsydra,
or water clock, of Canton, In China.
This time-teller is housed in temple
on the city walls and is sight no
traveller to the Chinese city ever
fails to take in.
In a hall called the Temple Of
Time" are four big earthen Jars plac-
ed upon shelves. The fourth and low
est one has a wooden cover. This.
together with the others, constitutes
the whole clepsydra.
The water descends by slow drops
from one jar to another, the brass
scale on float in the last crock tell
ing the hours as 1t rises. 1t is said
that during every afternoon since the
year 1921 A. D. the lowest jar has
been emptied. the upper one filled.
and the clock thus wound up" for
another day.
Boards with the number of the hour
are displayed on the outside wall, in
order that all passers-by may know
the time.

SECRET OF LOOKING SMART
Neatness and Taste In Dressing VIII
Always Give the Girl a Good
Appearance.

There are many girls who. without
being at all good looking. always ap-
pear neat and smart.
They may only have small dress
allowance, but with 1t are able to
appear more attractive than girls
who, with twice their amount of
money, often look overdressed or
dowdy.
What is the secret Of this?
Surely 1t is due to the neat girls
taste; she always puts on her clothes
with care and makes point OF her
appearance being neat and tidy. She
keeps her wardrobe orderly and has
a place for everything; her ribbons,
gloves, handkerchiefs, ETC.. are never
bundled upon a drawer just to get
them out of the way, but are careful
ly put In their proper places.
On the other hand, girl clad in
an expensive dress will often spoil
her appearance by the careless way
In which she puts on her clothes, los

and mufiie the buzz of the saws when
at work
1T took three nights to get through
with everything except the automatic
bolt which locks all the cells. After
learning that Sam had made as good
progress as l had, we arranged 1t to
go through the last bolt before mid
night and be ready to make break
as soon as possible after the mid
night change In the watch. I got to
work on the automatic bolt when the
lights were put out early in the eve
ming. and by l o'clock in the morn
ing l could shift my bolt in good
shape. l tried the door and found
/ that 1t opened easily. After the guard
made the rounds I slipped into Nthe
corridor. A moment later Sam ap-
peared.
I'VE had our plans all laid. I en-
tered his cell. We waited for the
guard to come round again. and as
he passed the door we seized him
from behind, dragged him into the
| cell and put him to sleep with a
crack on the skull with an iron bar.
l put on his official coat and hat, took
his keys, unlocked the door to a store
room and sent in the half-hour signal
to the main office. Sam used the
saws as quickly as possible to go
through the bhis on the window.
while made the regular tour of the
guards corridor
Il had to go within twenty feet Of
another guard, but covered my face
with my handkerchief during an as
sumed flt of coughing, and ran the
gauntlet in good shape. When Sam
got through the bars I brought two
sheets to him. which he made into a
rope, while made my last tour.
When l got back to the room ev-
erything was in readiness. We slid
down the rope to the top of the prison
wall. 1t was an easy drop from there
to the ground and we got away. 1t
was very cold night and we forced
an entrance into clothing store and
got new outfit. We decided that 1t
was best for us to go 1t alone and
make line for New York.
I'VE were fat broke and had to
get money somewhere. We flxed up
bit and tumbled onto a darling
\ scheme the very first day ont. Two
young fellows, as we were passing the
First National bank shortly after
O'Clock. came out carrying bag.
| They showed by their manner that
they were on an important mission.
We laid for them for two days. and
,, found that they came out regularly
each day with the bag Then we fixed
our play.
I'VE waited for them to appear on
the third day In Trinity church yard
and when they started up Broadway
We got them before they had gone a
block Stepping quickly up behind
each picked out man and gave him
handful of red pepper In his eyes.
, They dropped the bag like shot. and
before they had time to yell I picked
1t up and we got lost in the crowd.
1t was a safe play to maze break
for the Liberty street ferry with the
bag as II we were going to take a
train on the Central l unloaded the
bag In the lavatory and got just s53,-
900 for the days work"

The Chiffon Psnnier.

The chiffon pannier has certainly
come to stay. BY choosing delicate
contrasting color to the charmeuse
which ferns the frock. it can be made
to give delightful and unexpected eff
feet.
In one importation is seen pannier
of pale primrose chiffon mounted on a
skirt of pale blue charmeuse. This Is
draped at the back. The chiffon forms
the upper part OF the tunic. and the
lace, which is inserted down the front,
is finished with Il row of tiny blue silk
bows the color of the charmeuse.
A pannier of this type is nothing but
a somewhat full tunic caught up un'
derneath instead of being hemmed
