The woman who srkeeps house. has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, house-work becomes
q heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Backache, bearing down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of ''blues," and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills APP
pears, together with discolored condi-
ton of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means SO much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison
Gus, dangerous nor habit forming drugs.
Doan's are harmless for children too.

The time was, when life in

OF every effort to make them home

boxed-in stairway which led to the I'M
finished or rough-plastered loft where
the other sleeping quarters were
found. But women demanded so
many changes for the better in small
houses, that architects have wonder
fully improved their designs for

They have found out how to put lum-
Der and other building materials to-

and six-room houses-a thing they
considered unworthy of their time

The fact is, it is much more diff

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

''My troubles began along in the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
itching and kind of smarting pain.
It took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass of
pimples which would burn and itch at
night SO that I could hardly stand it..
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot of blood.
81 tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and was not
getting any benefit. It seemed I was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on chair. was
finally given a set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside of two weeks I
could see and feel great relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and in about
three or four months time my back
was nearly cured and felt like new
being. Now am in good health and
no sign of any skin diseases and I
am fully satisfied that Cuticura Rene
dies are the best ever made for skin
diseases. I would not be without
them" (Signed) W. A. Armstrong,

DENTAL ART IS AN OLD ONE
People of Early History Not Only
Knew All About 1t, but Also
Did Good Work.

Dentistry, though considered pecu-
liarly modern, has been found highly
developed in the past Actual spec1-
mems of ancient dentistry may be
seen in various European museums.
The most interesting of these spec1-
mems, because the Oldest, is Phoeni-
clan example OF bridgework found in
a tomb at Sidon. The specimen is
now in the Louvre at Paris, and con-
sists of a woman with the teeth united
by gold wire. Two of them are trans
planted teeth fastened in by gold
wire. In the museum of Corneto
(which was the ancient Tarquinii, the
capital of the Etruscan federation)
may be seen a number of marvellous
specimens of dental work of the sixth
and seventh centuries before Christ
They consist mainly of bridgework
done by riveted bands of metal.
The satiric poets of Rome, especial
" Martial, refer frequently to artiti-
cial teeth. Martial speaks of an old
ran away her teeth fell out. In one
epigram he answers the question why
one woman's teeth are dark, while
another's are white, though both are
of the same age, by saying that one
of them buys her teeth, while the
other has her own. The Romans had
q number of different kinds of den
trifices, and took great care Of their
teeth.

The Agreeable Swish of Silk.

There is no denying the Iuxuriously
impressive effect of a soft frou?frou
of silk in a woman's garments. She
may be quite simply dressed, an I'M
obtrusive little figure sitting meekly
in a corner of the room-let her rise
and walk across the floor with de-
Iicious suggestion of rustlirg silk fol-
lowing her movements The severely
made gown will take on the contours
of a Paquin model.
When several years ago fashions

salines for the noisy taTeta under
skirts deep was the chagrin therein.
But at an exhibition of this springs
styles at a fashionable dressmakers,
one of the models created a pleasur-
able sensation by filling the room with
the agreeable swish of taffeta silk.

Joe JACKSON's STYLE AT BAT
Connie Mack Told Hard Hitting "Nap"
Outfielder He Would Become
Great SIugger.

Joe Jackson isn't a stylish batter.
He pulls away from the plate, which
is decidedly bad form according to the
set standards for hitting. Joe plants
his right foot within six inches OF the
plate when he faces the pitcher, but
as the ball comes up he takes a long
step toward first base.
theoretically a batter who pulls
away from the plate as Joe does can
not hit the ball hard, and 1t has often
been remarked that Joe was lucky to
escape being taught different style
Of hitting.
It is generally believed that If Joe
had been changed he would have lost
his natural swing and ability.
One manager tried to teach Joe to
bat differently-Connie Mack.

models offered for hot weather wear,
and a very young woman might wear
it while travelling with perfect pro-
priety, as a good throat and arms are
its chief requirements. There are
some lovely wash silks striped With
the new dress colors, and while rather
of the negligee species such little
bodices, made up in this manner, would
be very effective with wool suit on
hot day. If the silk is of a very styl-
ish sort, too, it would be a good idea
to hem a bias of it for hat scarf, and
proper hat for this would be one Of
the duck tourist or outing shapes
which are selling from so cents up.
A "dicky, or front, made to exc out
the possibilities of a plain waist, is
likewise a useful trifle for the traveller
to take along, and if she looks about
the shops she will find many pretty
styles in these. AS to underwear, I'M
stiffened dimity, from which every gar
ment needed is made, could be usec
for the more intimate lingerie, wh1iS'
for the long petticoat there is a wide
range of light and reasonably priced
materials. In several of the shops the
smartest underwear imaginable is
made of tan pongee, and this is much
sought for travelling use.
When selecting footgear remember
that tan leather is cooler than any
other and that white wash leather
gloves are about the smartest worn.
A little pair of 50-cent Turkish slip
pers will also add to the travellers
comfort and contribute nothing to the
weight of the suit case.

Theodore H. Esschen, who lives at

latter years of the war. He accom-
