HATS TALLER, SHOES
LONGER THIS SPRING

In the fashion department OF the
April Woman's Home Companion
appears the following fashion news
about shoes and hats for this
spring: -,
"Shoes and hats, whoever would
have thought of combining the
two! Yet both are now so i'm
portant in their relation to the
costume that it seems quite right
to speak of them at the same time.
Each show decidedly new and pro-
nounced lines for spring; the hats
take the up and down lines that
reach to great height, the shoeS
long graceful lines that give the
impression of greater length than
we have had in the past.
SIN describing the new hats the
materials come first. Soft hemp is
favored, though straw braid con-
bined with fabrics is especially we'll
liked. Hats for general wear are
moderately small but with large
head sizes. They still fit way
down on the head. Height is given
in the shape and trimming. Brims
turn way up on one side and some
crowns are built higher by masses
of tulle.
"And now about the shoes The
lasts that have long vamps with
receding toes have become more
fashionable than ever. They are
seen in almost al! the new shoes
except those for tramping and QUIT
door sports. These are mannlsh
and rather broad in style and have
spring heels. For other shoes the
half Louis, Cuban, and kidney
wood heels are used. Black
leather, such as gun metal, is not
as modish as in the past, the shiny
leather taking its place. Metallic
leather which is really patent leath,
er, is new and popular in gold,
silver or light colors combined with
black in pumps and tango slippers:
The satin slipper is still favored "

Monterey, Va. Friday, Mar 20 1914

We are in receipt of a private
communication from a gentlemen
of Wichita Kansas asking for in
formation as to Highlands famous
blue grass, in which he says he IS
interested.
The Recorder is going to reply,
but necessarily the information we
can give in private letter will be
meager, and the incident very
forcibly illustrates the demand for
a board of trade. civic club or some
sort of organization to boost and
advertise our home resources and
attractions.
Here is a man in far-off state
who has in some way heard of our
superior grass lands and seeks that
which should have sought him. We
live as though we feared such
secrets would "get OUT. In spite
of US, Highlands exceptional ad-
vantages are going to be heard
of but wouldn't it be business like
and advantageous to hasten the
time by the adoption of booster
methods and up-to-date, progress
slve ideas. 1t is largely through
exploitation effort that virgin sec
tons are developed and needed IN
dustries secured. 1t is an acknoW-
lodged fact that Monterey and
Highland offer special advantages
for at least limited number OF
important enterprises, and these
openings ought to be advertised to
the world by means of a handbook,
prospectus or similar method. An
organization, such as we refer to
above, either in town or county,
could accomplish much along in
dustrial lines and hasten an era OF
development that will 9th erwlse
be delayed, but which will eventu-
ally come-in spite of our inditfer-
ence and passiveness.

Testing the Hearing.
It is a good thing to test your near
ing with q watch. First hold the
watch against your ear, then move II
gradually away from the ear and see
how far away from the watch you
can actually hear it tick. Try 1t on
the other side and see IL both cars
are alike. If you find that YOU are
unable to hear the watch on both sides
alike and at a distance OF four feet
from the ear, you may know that
deafness has already begun. You
should begin taking Peruna at once.
Gargle the throat with cold, strong
salt water, as directed in the Ills or

lumbus, Ohio. Persist in this treat
ment until a cure Is effected.
The Best Way to Gargle.
Sometimes catarrh Of tho nasal
pharyngeal space will cause an &C
emulation of secretions in the throat,
that completely fill the space. Unless
these secretions are promptly re-
moved by frequent gargling polypi
may be formed. Once formed the
polypi or adenoids, as they are some
times called. will require long time
with the gargling to remove. Car
Cling according to the proper method
will sometimes remove polypi or ade-
noids, and no surgical operation is
required.

Is meant by proper gargling send for

During the whole course Of garglinS
Peruna must be taken according to
directions on the bottle.
People who object to liquid medi-
cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

RETIRED GEORGIA PLANTERS
ADVICE TO KIDNEY SUFFERERS.

Regarding the wonderful curative
merits of your Swamp-Root, | can
not say too much. After suffering
severely for three years or more
with severe pains caused by weak
kidneys, was finally induced to
try Swamp-Root through a testi-
monial I read in one of the news
papers. I was in such condition
that I was obliged to arise from my
bed six or eight times every night:
I purchased a fifty-cent bottle and
before it was used felt SO much re-
liet that | purchased a one-dollar
bottle and by tbs time this was
taken the old pains had left my
back and I could sleep the whole
night through. l am retired
planter, 70 years of age, and owing
to Dr.. Kilmers Swamp-Root, am
in the beat of health and feel like a
boy. I am always glad to RECON-
mend Swamp-Root to those who
are in need of it.
