Cooperative Unions Are Established
That Lend Them Money for Pro-
ductive Purposes.

With the help of the Jewish Agricul-
tural and Industrial Aid society three
cooperative unions have been recently
established, one in Fairfield county,
Connecticut. one in Rensselaer, county,
New York, and the third in Ellington,
Conn
These credit unions are established
in connection with the Jewish Farm
ers' associations in those places. which
are branches of the Federation of Jew
ish Farmers of America. The farmers
in each branch raised $500 by selling
shares, and the Jewish Agricultural
and Industrial Aid society loaned
$1,000 to them at low rate of inter
est.
The management of the credit unions
is entirely In the hands of a board OF
directors, who are elected by the farm
ers.
The money is loaned to farmers for
productive purposes on easy payments
and with snail rates of interest While
In Germany, Italy and other European
countries the credit unions have been
in existence for many years and we're
found to be very helpful TO the farm
ers and small business men, in this
country this is the first attempt

FAD THAT IS USEFUL
TWO eoDIcEs FOR ONE acWN Is
PRESEAT EoICT,
Women With ~Sfnlted Means Find
Latest Style Great Convenience
Silk Tie Waist Now Rsappears
for Spring.

Two bodices fer one smart gown
this is the presen. edict They belong
to the rather elegant street suit, or to
the fine reception dress-one waist
With high cut for day wear and the
other slightly or definitely low for
evening. in this way one coat and
skirt do service for unnumbered occa-
sions, and The fad is certainly useful
one for women with limited means.
There is the most cunning sequence,
too, between the day waist and the
rest of the costume. for the one-piece
effect Is supreme and the bodice and
skirt of the same goods and which
seems to be in one, reigas for day wear
over separate waist arrangements.
Cloth, silk and novelty woods of all
sorts are made up with narrow skirts
and taut little bodices joined under a
high waistband so as to look in one;
the practically of the bodice is light
white or color, and however plain the
rest of the suit, the waist has a Ger
tain FITNESS. In this shape the cos
tune is really three-piece affair, but
when the second waist is considered it
becomes one Of four pieces. A get-up
in four distinct pieces! What right
have manufacturers to complain that
women are using too little material
for their frocks, to wall, indeed, that
If it goes on they will be ruined? True,
We are still very narrow in silhouette
and there is a likelihood that we will
continue so for some time to come, but
there are our costumes of four pieces
docs it not take more goods for two
waists than one? Nevertheless, the
scheme is still economical for woman
herself, SO let us shed no tears for the
manufacturer.
The second waist is little, dainty,
dressy, thing, exactly in the suit color
a. some point that sequence with the
skirt may still be there, but it is of
chiffon with one color over another, or
of chiffon and lace, of silk and chiffon
colth, Of net fancy and plain. 1t is
rarely. in pure white, for the tremen-
dous contrast this makes with black
Or colored skirt is now thought ex-
tremely trying. If the dress is a very
plain street affair. too, the second
waist, which is to be for the theater,
dinners, and so on, is rather simple,
and with scarcely more than a collar
less neck.
Our illustration gives one of the sea
sons oddities, although the student OF
fashion knows that the tie kink of this
waist comes down to us from many
years ago. Some twenty years since,
French makers sent over a few plaid
silk blouses Which were adjusted to
the figure in just this manner by carry
ing the fronts to the back and then
bringing the ends around to the front
and there tying or hooking them. The
model went like hot cakes then and 1t
has had a tremendous vogue this win
ter, the women who bought them ready
made using them as jumpers over
lawn, lice or net bodices, and those
VINO turned out themselves deciding
upon the style because so little fitting
is needed The extremely low cut of
the armhole is late and popular

FUR is NOW MUCH IN VOGUE
One Cannot Have Too Much Peltry on
Evening Wraps, Which Are
Gorgeous.

Quantities of fur are being used for
woman's adornment, and one cannot
have too much peltry on evening
wraps, which are gorgeous, both in
color and fabric. Gold and platinum
lace, the two metals interviewer not
unlike the silver and gold lace of
Queen Elizabeth's fancy, and huge,
quaint decorative buttons, are notable
features, and are likely to meet with
much favor. A huge cameo, Wedge
wood plaque, a piece of beautiful
enamel work, or a filigree gold boss"
set with stones, all are eagerly vel
coined, and take pride of place as the
sole fastening visible on a wrap. This
is the time to search amongst ones
old jewelry. Pieces that were, not so
long since, hopelessiy od-fashioned,
are now treasures.
Wraps of little wider build, but
the kimono effect, are still adhered to.

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family the
health of its different members is
most important, and the value of an
agreeable laxative that IS certain in
its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. CaldwelPs Syrut PeDsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in it's
action on the bowels, yet positive in
its effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in a short time TO again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Caid-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and S100
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to DR.. w. B. Caldwell,
201 Washington ST., Monticello, ILL.,,
and ask for sample bottle DR. Cald-
we'll will be glad to send it without
any expense to you whatever.
