The same wide embroidery appears
on the top of the bell sleeves.
The neck and sleeves are finished
with a Val edging an inch and a half
wide. A ribbon bow appears on each
sleeve, at the end of each panel and
at the neck. That one at the neck
is made by the ends of ribbon run in

Nainsook or lawnsdale cambria or

these gowns. Seams are feIled and

Gowns made by hand are far more

much time and eyesight. Besides, the

made by machine or hand.

AGAINST LAVISH USE OF SOAP
Medical Authority Points Out Danger
70 the Skin When Cleansing Agent
is Too Freely Employed.

That many dangers cling 70 alkaline
soaps is emphasized editorially by the
London Lancet, in which attention is
called to the large proportion Of min
eral ash and alkali in dearer toilet
soaps. When these soaps, after being
dissolved in water, touch the skin, an
excessive secretion of the acid sebum
and sweat follows, and the protective
outer layer OF the skin, the epithelium.
is partially dissolved. This means in
tense irritation, which is apt to lead to
skin complications.
In the cheaper soaps the cottonseed
oil and rancid fats used are RESPONSE
bic for considerable irritation. Castor
oil soap is found least irritating, but 1t
dissolves rather too freely and is apt
to become rancid. Cocoanut oil soap
Is decidedly irritating and palm oil
soap is less so, while tallow soap is
least irritating of all
DR. Frederick Gardiner. accepted as
an authority on this subject, holds that
many bad effects come from those
soaps made chiefly of cheaper fats and
cottonseed and cocoanut oils. Former
ly tallow and olive oil we're most used
and the skin did not suffer.
The natural conclusion is that as
little soap as possible should be used
on the skin and that this should be
least alkaline in quality. 1t should al
ways be well rinsed off. so as to per
nit the least possible irritation.

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KIDMEY-BACKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
If Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with 4 mild. harmless salts which re-
moves the bOdy's urinOus waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance OF keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-yOu can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces OF lad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will
act fine This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged Kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this. also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what

October for the cessation of war in
Europe probably is without precedent

so, it is the most beautiful precedent

prayerbooks, and days of prayer for
the speedy termination of wars have
been often fixed by official proclama-
ton in countries engaged in them; but
for neutral nation of more than 90
900, 600 of people to get down on its
knees and pray for peace in other coun-
tries will be one of the most impress
sive, as we'll as one of the most I'M
usual, spectacles ever presented on
earth. We believe everybody in the
United States will offer up a prayer on
that day in the earnest spirit of altru-

suggests. And if anything can make a
path for peace where men can see
none, we believe unselfish supplica-
ton from the heart of great country
can open the door of divine compass

National League to Meet Satur- day and Hand Charley
 Murphy Something.

E For the first time in the history of the National League an adjourned ses- sion of the annual meeting has been called for Cincinnati on Saturday, FeS. 21 Secretary Heyd1er of the National League announced yesterday that the purpose of this unusual conc1ave was to straighten out the Evers deal. President Charles w. Murphy of the Chicago Cubs is in a rather unusual position. It is at his instigation that the meeting has been called. He de- cIares that he will not, let Evers go to Boston unless he gets something in re- turn for the trade.
 In the original deal which Murphy made with President James E. Gaff- ney of the Braves, Chicago was to get Hub" Perdue and "Bi1I' Sweeney in exchange for Evers. The Board of Directors, by way of disciplinfng Mt1r- Ihy, decided that the Boston Club would not have to turn over these two players to the Cubs. Murphy, unable to understand the situation, has made "a strong. protest, and the meeting at Clncinnah is the result.
 The q1estion at issue is whether the Chicago club should receive any com pensation for Evers after Murphy had dropped him without giving him the ten days notification as provided by Evers' contract. It was stated yester- day by a member of the Board Of Di- rectors that whatever the Directors decided upon Murphy would have to abide by 1t. The Boston club has of fered Evers a. bonus of $2O, ,000 and President Jim Gaffney of the Braves has offered to let the matter drop if Murphy will release his claim on Evers.
