DE BEVOIS BRASSIERE

Every well-dressed woman
today pays as much attention
to the selection of her Bras
sieres as of her corsets. The
present low-bust corset vogue
makes the Brassiere indies
pensible.
No woman of fashion to-
day thinks of ignoring this.
She well knows that without
the proper kind of Brassiere
her corset cannot do justice
to her figure or her gown.
Hence the selection of the
proper Brassiere is of vital
importance. There are De
Bevoise styles for every kind
of figure and every size from
32 to 46 inches bust measure.

The condition Of the kidneys makes good

The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-

SOFTNESS SOUGHT FOR
KEYNOTE OF THE PRESENT
STYLES IN MILLINERY
Idea Makes for Grace, Matter That
Has Been Somewhat Neglected
Trimmings on Brim are
Picturesque.

Softness of outline achieved by
graceful draped effects and by the use
81 furry and feather trimmings is the
keynote of the millinery for winter
wear. Styles follow each other in
such swift succession these days that
there is no predicating safely what
hat styles will be six months ahead,
with plumes rising aloft, may be the
whim of Paris-just now, however
everything in the millinery line is low,
soft and graceful. Flat, moderately
large hats of an exceeding softnesa of
outline are in vogue-the vecy large
hat is not favored by the woman who
avoids bizarre styles in dress, anu the
tiny audacious hat has likewise been
vetoed. In fact, the size of hat
large or small is no longer the fea-
trre that presents itself obtrusiveiy to
the attention, for hat sizes are mod
to the head and to the line of the
shoulders, this last being a point
which the skillful milliner never over
looks. Grace, not size, is now the i'm
portant consideration. ard next comes
harmony of color
Trimmings are placed on the briln
oftener than on the crown. and when
they are on the crown they are very
apt to droop or curl over the orin,

A TOY x-RAY MACHINE.


This little toy is greatly mystifying
to those who do not know its interior
construction, and by making one and
keeping it in your room you will have
a puzzler for your friends when they
come to see you. To outward ap-
pearances the little machine has the
power to transmit light through solid
objects, making them seem transpar-
ent; but, If the interior of the box
were disclosed to view, it would at
once be apparent how the illusion is
obtained by means of a series OF mir
rors placed at the proper angles to
project the light which enters the hole
at one end Of the box down under the
object through which the person is
supposedly looking, and up to his eye
at the hole in the opposite end.
Though the construction of the top
Is actually simple, it is we'll to make
1t appear complicated by adding tubes,
an electric battery, switch and a
bell, as shown in the illustration.
None of these, however, are necessary
to operate the toy.

who dislike the plainness add a jabot

the majority prefer to wear the blouse

buttons down the front.
The buttons are Of crystal, white or
colored to match the blouse and
stitched with heavy white silk.
A cape collar finishes the neck and
is most becoming to girls. 1t exposes
the throat in front and is comfortable.
1t differs from the polo collar, mas
much as very little of 1t shows from
the front. At the back there is am

and waited some 10 minutes, but no

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth of Drug Habit in United States
Alleged to Be Due to opiates
Ordered In Prescriptions.

That SO per cent. of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi-
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by Dr. l.. +. Ke0ler,
Chief of the Division of Drugs, Depart
ment of Agriculture. This statement,
and others, proving that physicians
and not patent" medicines are re-
sponsible for the appalling growth OF
drug addiction in the United States
was made by DR.. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study of Alcohol and
Narcotics.
DR.. Kebler is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical mer were not discriminating
enough in their use of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients, he
said, is creating thousands of drug
users every year.
~ - q NOA o10 lhlA6 " 6dJ that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor Estate
laws are not saving the public from
the grip of the drug habit, and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss OF
the morphine and cocaine fiend.
THE worst of it is that the impor-
tation Of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. l have heard it said on reliable
authority that 80 per cent. of the Co
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with Dr. Keb-
lers address, DR.. J. A. Patterson, at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, in public
statement said that 10 out of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for trea :
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.
