A STOMACH TONIC

There is form of Indigestion called
atomic. dyspepsia. Atomic means
lack OF tone.' 1t is probably the
most common form of Indigestion. but
not much is heard about it because
people are inclined to group all forms
of dyspepsia as stomach trouble and
the doctors let it go at that.
Lack of tone in the digestive organs
means that the stomach is no longer
able to do its work as nature intended.
The nerves that control 1t are weak,
the glands that supply the digestive
fluids are not working properly. Gas
on the stomach, sour risings in the
throat and constipation result. The
cause of the trouble is thin blood.
Stomach, nerves and glands are all de-
pendent on the blood and when it gets
thin and watery they are at once
weakened. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
act directly on the blood and the first
response from the stomach is a better
appetite, freedom from distress after
eating and an increase in ambition and
energy generally. Try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills as a stomach tonic and see
how your general health improves.

The Latest Pantalettes
Not Like Crandma's S

In the June Woman's Home Com
panion Grace Margaret Goul, fashion
editor of that periodical, writes an ar
ticle entitled Skirts Flare Out-Be-
hold the Pantalette;" in which she
comments on the pantalette of to-day
and yesterday and other new French
fashion frivolities. Following is an
extract:
Yes, Grandmamma did wear pan
talettes and now Granddaughter has
her modern critical eyes upon them.
"Premet of Paris, who has so
quickly forged ahead into fashionable
favor, says. 'Pantalettes are not only
TO be worn but shown
But let me tell you that the new
French pantalettes in this uppest-to-
date age are far removed from the
pantalettes of the remote and roman
tic days of long ago as champagne
from cambric tea.
"Grandmamma certainly in her gid
diest days would never have recog-
nized these flmy, etherealized crea-
tions.
Hers were of the prudent ana SUB
stantial sort, fulfilling to the letter the
now lost mission of clothes to be a
covering, and they were only to be
exposed on the most secluded of
clotheS-lineS.
ITO describe the pantalettes that
Premet shows-those which belong to
the glaring Now-is to tell quite q diff
ferent story.
THE Paris dress openings in their
display of Spring and summer gowns
showed many novelties, but Premet's
costumes brought forth the most gasps
and Obs! Such tllmy, frilly, perky
pantalettes, and peeping out with no
suggestion of timidity from actual
hoop skirts!
Then there were other pantalettes
direct descendants of the modern tan
go garter, created just for the dance.
In fact, the return of the pantalette
TO Paris is not SO much the revival of
an old quaint fashion as it is u dress
outcome of the dance craze. From
the tango garter it is only light and
airy step to the tango pantalette and
the next step after-and this is u
stride--is the mannish trouser to be
worn with the tailored suit.
And right here let me say that the
new tailored skirt, slit at the sides,
and worn with trousers of the same
fabric. is q strong swing toward de-
cency."

IT WAS FORCED UPON HIM

AT wedding feast recently the
bridegroom was called upon, as usual,
to respond to the. given toast, in spite
OF the fact that he had previously
pleaded to be excused. Blushing to
the roots of his hair, he rose TO his
feet. He intended to imply that he
was unprepared for speechmaking,
but he unfortunately placed his hand
upon his brides shoulder, and looked
down at her as he stammered out his
opening and concluding words: This

A countryman named Street owned

several long pilgrimages into the
country for the reprehensible animal.
On one occasion the trail led on and
on until Street had entered the en-
virons of town where a new trolley
car system was installed. Just as the
cow-hunter turned n corner I'm the
outskirts the car numbered up and the
conductor called out:

The owner of the COW stopped in

CHANGES IN BABIES, CLOTHES

In the fashion department of the
June Woman's Home Companion ap-
pears an article entitled Clothes for
the Tiny Girl and Boy" in the course
of which the author writes in part,
as follows, about the changes in ba-
bies' clothes within the past fifty
years:
Times have changed since the days
when the regulation baby dress was
the Mother Hubbard model gathered
straight widths on square or round
yoke. The styles for the little children
of to-day change with each succeeding
season with as much versatility as for
the groWn-ups. Back in the early six
ties, babies wore clothes almost coun-
terparts of their parents The infant
frock was cut panel front with insets
of lace putting or embroidery. The
tiny shoulders, neck and arms We're
often left bare, the shoulder straps
with small puff sleeves falling of the
shoulders. Quantities of petticoats
suggested the hoop skirts then in
vogue.
That the first consideration for the
baby should be his comfort we all
agree, so the simply made garments
are the most successful. The mate
rials should be as fine as can be af-
forded.'

That will depend. upon the outcome of the

Study the map of the Adriatic and
Italy's interest in the east shore becomes
apparent. Most of the good harbors are

there are many Italians along the east
shore and strong sentimental and historic
considerations. the establishment of Aus
trian power confronting her across the
narrow sea could hardly be counter
balanced by colonial possessions across
the Mediterranean, even without taking
into account the price to be paid for the
latter in the form of the lasting enmity
of France and the Jealous hostility Of
Great Britain.
Italy's imperial tendencies, therefore,
quite apart from her desire to regain the

to compel her to cast her sword into the
scale on the side of the allies.
