Ing Of Fitch-olrdIe Of Brown Velvet
skirts are cut with godet plaits. and
form real godet folds on the hips. The
same effect may be noticed on the
Jacket
Many fur-trimmed models in velvet
are fashioned in bolero style. A high
shaped girdle of the velvet extends to
Just below the bust line to give the
necessary warmth.
The white and black combination
continues in favor, and some Of the
most distinctive models introduced
this season are in black and white,
with a mere dash of color somewhere.
Drecoll is responsible for one Of the
prettiest of these black and white
creations, which has bodice and tunic
Of white chiffon and trimmings Of jet
beads. The beads form bands for the
neck. under part of the sleeves and
bower part Of the tunic.
The skirt is a draped model in the
Bupplest Of black velvet. The detail
which gives special cachet to this
frock consists Of the skirt drapery,
which, beginning at the right side of
the skirt front between the hem and
the knee, runs backward and upward
over the tunic Of chiffon and is fasten-
ed in big, soft, fiat bow at the left
Bide back at the waistline. The much
needed touch Of color is shown in the
girdle of rose satin which encircles the
waist The neck, front and bottom of
bolero are trimmed with dark fur.
The tunic is also bordered with band
Of the fur.
The tailored frock sketched is of
beautiful shade Of rich golden brown
velour de laine trimmed with fitch.
The girdle is Of brown velvet.
An admirable model of white
duvetyn was shown in smart shop
on Fifth avenue the other day. The
skirt, bodice and upper part of the
peplum were Of white duvetyn. To
the lover part of the peplum was at
tached a broad border Of plated
brown mousseline de sole trimmed at
the bottom with a band Of sable There
was a brown velvet collar with tie of
the brown mousseline notted at the
front. The girdle was Of the brown
mousseline, tied at the back in a fat
bow. The long sleeves were finished
ct the wrist with a double frill of
brown mousseline. There was hat
TO accompany the frock of brown tuIle

DICTATES OF FASHION

Collars, jabots and fchus, if they
give the vest or chemisette effects,
are fashionable
! Draped muffs Of velvet are extreme
ly large. They are frequently elabo-
'rately trimmed
Two tone or plated hosiery comes
in wide variety of colorings and com
binations Of colors.
Very smart are the women's shoes
with black cloth tops and vamps of
dull soft kid without tips.
To conceal rather than outline the
figure is the distinguishing note of
the up-to-date blouse
A distinctive note of the embroidery
which is used on gowns this season
is the degree to which 1t is padded.
Apparently it cannot be too heavily
padded, and when the hand work is
done in worsteds the padding is ac-
centuated.

The food while they are cooped may
be the same as before stated; only
the grain should be discontinued, and
soft food given three times a day.

1t should be placed in the troughs

Instead of mixing the food with ths
milk fresh, it should be a little sour.

The last week a little fat meat may
be added to the food; the coops should
be kept perfectly clean, and by having
them raised from the ground, the dror.

DIR. FL. Cusey, Assistant Veterinary in

turned to Danville from a trip to Adair
county where he went at the direction
OF State Commissioner OF Agriculture ].
W. Newman, to investigate the death OF
eleven horses within thirty-six hours
from defective ensilage, says the Dan
vile Messenger
DIR. Casey found that the ensilage in
question had developed ptomaine poison
from mould corn and that this was the
cause of death to to the stock. Several
cases have been reported of cattle having
succumbed to the same kind of poison
ing. DR.. Casey said that he would re-
commend that farmers use more care in
feeding ensilage to horses, and that if
fed at all, it should be used with an add
ed ration such as good hay However,
it would be better not to feed it to
horses, he said.
Cattle thrive on good ensilage," said
DIR. Casey. Il don't think it should be
fed to working stock, such as horses and
mules. Care should be taken to detect
and destroy mouldy or defective silage."

The American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trou- ble, because we eat too much and all our food issrich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out. they weaken from over work, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead your back hurts or the urine Is cloudy; full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu- matism when the weather is bad get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then 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 flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutral ize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
