Clinging Skirts to Remain

Short coats and clinging skirts for spring." was the slogan at the con- Vention of the United Cloak and Suit Designers of America, held recently in New York It was the unanimous be- lief of the convention that the Ameri- can woman would not give up the clinging effects to which she has now become accustomed. The slender skirt when made as it is designed by the artists is a thing of beauty and grace and gives a woman far more ease in walking than the voluminous skirts of a few years ago The only objection to the straight skirts is that estrern- ists have so distorted the style that they have made it ungracefuI and inn modest. It is not the best dressers who carry this style so far not even in Paris, which permits more radical styles than are worn in America The educated, cultured women of Paris would not be, seen wearing a dress of the shock1ng1y scant proportions which cause much unfaVorabIe comment Dame Fashion is not so irrational as some would have us believe and the refined, best dressed women will con tinue to wear the slender skirts in moderation, as they have done for sev- eral seasons.

l Curious asks: q am curious to know whether you would recommend that I l reduce my weight? l weigh a little over 200 pounds and seem to be gain ing lately. In hot weather I am very | uncomfortable
 Answer-The question as to wheth- CT you should reduce must be settled
 by uourself. I should think you could suffer as nearly all abnorma1ly fat people do. It is such a simple matter ] in this day and age to reduce exces- sive fatness and I wonder why there are any such. The one thing I know to be prompt and effective, and at the ! same time perfectly safe to use, is g.

 growth of hair on the point of my
 chin. Otherwise I am considered
 good-Iooking and pretty. I have been
 afraid to try to remove it. Can you tell me what to do?"
 Answer-There are great many so-called depilitory remedies, good, bad and indifferent, but the one
 which I have seen used for such a
 blenish, and which I heartily com
 mend, is fluvo1 powder. It may be
 bought in sealed vials packed in tubes. Full directions are in each tube. It is harmless and instantly ef-

 something which will absolutely cure dandruff and itching scalp? I have
 tried innumerab1e remedies in vain. It is very annoying"
 Answer-Extremely bad cases of
 dandruff always yield 10 the regular application of plain yellow minyol (sold in oz. jars.) Apply about twice a week. Sampoo once week with gloriol glowene. Also get the hair and scalp tonic recommended to Mrs. B. B. in these answers. Harry R. asks: '.I note that you ad- wise the use of toilet creams. especial ly one called tgIoriol emollient, and one other sgIoriol balm I wish to

Mrs A. C. asks: 'tI wish to know whether it is possible to restore a
 middle age? find am beginning to
 have crows feet wrinkles and a
 f1abby, salIow skin. I want something 1 harmless and effective and am willing l to pay any price for it.
 Answer-Yes, my very dear friend, l it is possible to do just what you de-
 sire to do and thousands of .y-Tnmen
 who have been negligent of tn in
 are beginning to realize the need of q | thoroughly scientific treatment for re-
 storing and preserving the complexion 1 of youth and beauty.
 1 This treatment, which my friends
 and I use. consists of three prepara- tions, all pure, inexpensive and re- 1 liable. It is marketed by a large firm | with years of experience in making
 toilet articles of the highest grade.
 Soap is a destroyer of a beautiful
 skin and I want all my fair readers to l dincontinue it's use. Instead, use g1or l iol glowene. which is really. a water
 massage, as it penetrateS the deepest 1 spiration and other excrement of the
 skin. A delightful feeling of c1eanli ness immediately follows its use, while ] it is very beneficial to the health and color of the skin. As a nutrient and emol1ient to prevent and remove 1 wrinkles, fill in hollow cheeks, remove l dark and flabby skin under the eyes,
 and to overcome large pores black 1 heads, b1otches, redness, etc., want you to use the splendid preparation called gloriOl emollient. It is reve- 1 lation to any woman to note the eff l feet of this emollient massage. It literally transforms the lines and color of the face, neck hands and arms. It positively does not promote hair growth, but it does Mourish the flesh and skin Beautifully. Next to the fore going and following out the scientific trea tment I want you to use two or three times daily before going. out in to the weather the delightful glorioI balm, or greaseless massage cream. It preserves the skin from the effects of wind and weather and produces a lovely veIvety tinted skin similar to that of a healthy child. The three articles mentioned are inexpensive and thoroughly reliable in every sense.
 They are of the highest quality, and do not be deceived into taking a quantity of something just as good. l Insist on getting only, the quality which will reward you with marvel ously good results.
 Mrs. B. B. asks: Please advise treatment for my hair, which I am losing by daily com pings to such an extent that it distresses me. I have tried various tonics and Shampoos, but
 nothing seems to stop it. My hair is dull and the new hair seems Hfeless
 and str1ngy- Please tell me of some thing right away
 Answer-You do not state the cause of your trouble, but imagine there are microbes peculiar to the hair root
 which are sapping the vitality and

watchword of the League is, .'He who
is not for and with us is against Us, "
and they will put all such on Black
List They do not intend to spend
their time and money to help any one
who will not do bis share.
Go to any merchant in our town
and he will tell you that the organiza-

his trade, and this is only beginning
of the great good 1t will accomplish.
The farmers naturally feel friendly
toward Ellisville, and now that our

They are all pulling and working now
together to build up their town and

Our town advertising has quadrupled,
and we have promise of an increasing
patronage. You see more visitors in
