Tn inc days when knights were gall lant and bold and no fashion seemed absurd at ball and merry gaInerlnss, women both young and old neHghleu in the wearing of picturesque Wlgs which covered their own pretty JOCKS. The swain who became enamored with the bright eye of coquettlsh girl was left to conjecture whether the IoyeIoclxs beneath that c1rcl1m- spect wig. were titan gold, brown or dark as the ravens plume.
 The lover of today may have just as much difficulty in solving that same question; for the girls of 1914 have been rumrnaging. chests in old garrets and have brought forth their great great -grandnas' old wigs and donned them Some had been wrapped up ln tinsel paper and were as yellow as a canary's breast. Another had been. put away with dear old grandma's green silk. with which it had been worn, and, To, it came forth as de 1ightfully green as new spring grass Another was purple as foxglove or violet which grew in some deep shady grove.
 But. my! the amazing wigs were SO becoming to the girls of fair, youthful faces that they set the pace and are wearing them at many of the evening. frolics, especially where the new dances are all the go. The beaux,. who, looked on aghast, cannot deny, that the picturesque bright-hued wigs are strangely becoming to even the. piainest faces. He who meets a girl for the first time thus adorned anx- fousIy avails himself of her permis-. sion to call upon her to see what she is really like.
 In her own home, the girl who wears the sky blue wig and sky-blue dress is metamorphosed. But some how he always remembers her as he first saw her at the ball, Of course, tn ere are steady-going, elderly folks who will cry down the colored wigs and costumes of the same tint despite the fact that the paintings which hang in their parlors of the beauties Of the oIden days are serene ly pictured in wigs. pompadour silks and buckled slippers. AS long as wigs provide innocent amusement they should be considered in the same light as the spring hat, literally covered with red poppies purple violets or green leaves. blue hyacinth or still bIuer 1arkspur. Let no one cry down these bewftching fancies. They will die natural death by the girls tirfng of them ere the eeason wanes. No lover should object as long as the heart that beats under the girls bo- dice changes not. Let the girls have their fling at fashion while they can.

NO HINT OF WATERFRONT

Dear Miss L.ibpey.
 Will you please advise me about a young man I have been Keeping com pany with most seven months? love him. He seems to think lot of me in return, but never hints his inten- ton of rnatrimony What am ;. to do? Thanking you,
 Don't you think. you are wasting your love and considerable time on the young man, not knowing whether you are to become his wife or not? If he Is not in a. position to marry, he should frankly admit it, so that you might decide as to the future. If there is no barrier to wedlock and no proposal, I would just choose another without delay.
 Dear Miss Lfbbey:
 In going to the office the past week or ten days a most pleasing incident has happened-that of meeting a very charming young woman. As we passed each other the first time or two, we each gave a, casual glance at the other, which later grew to a smile, but neither spoke one to- the other. By accident entered an office in a Certain building and who should I see but this miss. Prior to this I hadn't known where she worked, or who she was, so I called her on the phone thinking to get better acquaitrt- ed She repulsed me, telling me that we hadn't been introduced, etc. Did she not encourage this cali or was I fully and despieably to blame and in fault?
 You undoubtedly misconstrued the young lady's smile-wl1ich was un- doubted1y occasioned by her pleasant meditations. No se1f-respecting young lady would make a strangers ac- quaintance over the telephone. Cor rect your blunder by seeking an intro auction in the proper way-through a mutual friend. You will find all nice working girls spirited and self-re- specting.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take Glass of Salts if Your Back Hurts
or Bladder Bothers You-Drink

d
If you must have your meat every day
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
| occasionally, says noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff.
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours
tongue is coate and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, 70
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste, get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore 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 sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer initiates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop
out of sight and are soon forgotten
The reason is plain-the article did not
fulfill the promises of the manufacturer
This applies more particularly to med
icine. A medicinal preparation that has
real curative value almost sells itself,
as like an endless chain system the rem
edy is recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in need
of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know OF
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's SwampRoot is due to the fact
that it fulflls almost every wish in over
coming kidney, liver and bladder dis
eases, correets urinary troubles and new
tralizes the uric acid which causes rheu-

DISCUSS RURAL CREDITS.
President Is Told That Needs Here and
in Europe Are Not the Same.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The commission
which spent most of last summer ipves-
tigating rural credit plans abroad visited
the White House to discuss with Presi-
dent Wilson the scope of the proposed
legislation creating a rural credit plan
Tor this country. Every possible sug-
gestion was canyassed, with the result,
it was decided, that while bill will be
introduced in the near future, it will be
in the nature of tentative scheme only.
Representative Robert j. Buckley of
Cleveland, who has made comprehen-
sive study of rural credits, told the pres
ident he believed no plan yet suggested
was wholly acceptable to the American
farmer. He told of numerous letters
from agriculturists in every section of
the country, who insist that plans sat
isfactory to Europe are far from being
workable in this country.
Mr.. Buckley suggested that the bill as
prepared by the committee be introduced
in Congress and public hearings given.
Then he wants the investigating COM
mission continued and its activities this
time devoted to America instead of Eu-
rope. Action on the bill could be de-
ferred until the next Congress, Buckley
said.

Balm of the Trades Federation. Under
a strong escort, the men were taken
from Transvaal to Natal and put aboard
