HELPFUL WORDS
From a Perrysburg Citizen.


Is your back lame and painful?
Does it ache especially after exer-
tion?
Is there a soreness in the kidney
region?
These symptoms suggest weak kid
neys.
If so there is danger in delay.
Weak kidneys get fast weaker.
Give your trouble prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Your neighbors use and recommend
them.
Read this Perrysburg testimony:
Mrs. James Shuts, Third St., Per-
rysburg, Ohio, says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills have been used in our home for
backache and pains across the loins
and other symptoms of kidney COM
plant and the good results they have
given warrant me in recommending
them. / consider Doan's Kidney Pills
very effective in curing troubles

NOT so STRANGE AFTER ALL.

You may think it strange that so
many people are cured of stomach
trouble by Chamberlain's Tablets. You
would not, however, if you should give
them trial. They strengthen and in
vigorate the stomach and enable it to
perform it's functions naturally. mrs.
Rosie Rish, Wabash, Ind, writes:
Nothing did me the least good until /
began using Chamberlain's Tablets. 1t
is decidedly the best medicine for
stomach trouble / have ever used"

Infection and Insect Bites Dangerous.
Mosquitoes, flies and other insects,
which breed quickly in garbage pals,
ponds of stagnant water, barns, musty
places, ETC., are carriers of disease.
Every time they bite you, they inject
poison into your system from which
some dread disease may result. Get
bottle of Sloan's Liniment. 1t is an
tiseptic and few drops will neutral
ize the infection caused by insect bites
or rusty nails. Sloan's Liniment dis
infects Cuts, Bruises and Sores. You
cannot afford to be without it in your
home. Money back if not satisfied.

black satin embroidered in gold colored threads in dainty, delicate summer like effects that are most fascinating The little jacket is loose and straight, absolutely plain in cut but made ex- ceedingly picturesque and rich by its embroidery while the long sleeves that extend well over the hands are new and interesting inasmuch as most Of the coatees have been made with those of elbow or three-quarter length. In whatever else the summer fails, there must be some suggestion cf the picturesque if the costume for formal occasions will be correct. The effect may be obtained in almost any way that is becoming to the wearer so long as the general lines of fashion remain and often it is just the color that pro- duces the effect but 1t must De .,.. if one is to be truly smart. This special little jacket is most unusual in cut and style, being almost like a sweater for it is drawn on over the head, the wide neck opening providing sufficient space. but it is finished with high Medici collar at the back and worn over a dainty lace blouse that certainly con- tradict the suggestion found in the general shape.
 Contrasts of material are much depended upon. One of the newest whims is for cdging lace, tulle and the like with fur and, while for the most part it is used in extremely narrow bands, it provides just the note of contrast that is sought. The white talfeta gowns for the most part are kept quite simple. It IS predicted that they will be close rivals to the lingerie materials and there is no desire to make them over-elab borate or over-ornate when designed for such use A tunic of some sort there must be but tunics are taking on all sorts of variations. For the most part, the corsage is made with the usual slightly open neck and finished with soft frills of net or lace but white taffeta is susceptible of many uses and many treatments and, while We will have simple gowns for simple occasions, it is also being made up with Malines lace 1ouncing sometimes and with those of fine net sometimes and, as a matter of course, treated in that way, it becomes adapted to different pur- poses. A handsome model that has just reached these shores shows skirt almost covered with tunic of white net which is edged with a six.inch band of white silk while above it are two shorter tunics or founces each finished in a similar way and 1t Is probable that white tafieta will be developed in numberless combina- tions and effects. It is always beau tiful, the silk is always cool and de- lightful to wear and white always gives a sense of coolness whatevr the materia! may be.

TUNICS AND CAFES CONSTANTLY GROW IN FAVOR
SHORT FANCY LITTLE COATEES OVER WHITE
 GOWNS ARE CHARMING IN EFFECT

The French races held in May always stamp the final seal Of ap- proval on summer fashions, and lace, dainty lingerie effects, much net in combination with the fashionable taffeta and all-white gowns of that favorite silk make the important fea- lures. Long tunics have been deh- nitely accepted and they will appear in thin and filmy materials as we'll as in heavier ones and the tunic over a lace hounce in place of plain skirt makes one of the newest and most interesting features while it may per haps be forerunner of added width about the feet Thus far everything has been kept narrow about the ankles, no matter what the breadth might be above. Lace fiounces with silk tunics arranged thereover are few as yet but undoubtedly they mark an innovation and may well be watched with care. The short fancy little coatees or jackets over white gowns arc chronicled as being much seen and, since they make charmingly picturesque effect, VIC will all be glad of the fact. An exceed ingly attractive costume and one that exempli6es the feature in its newest form consists of skirt of white lace, straight and rather narrow, with over it full tunic of embroidered net, this tunic falling we'll below the knees and being longer at the sides and back than at the front, while the little jacket that makes the finishing touch is of

 vailins fashions show beau tiful color effects and exquisite fabrics while the favor for lace in itself means a season of charm. There is nothing like sameness in prevailing styles either, for it might fairly be said that. while there will always be certain predominant influences, there are almost as many fashions put forth as there are great dressmakers irr the Rue de la Paix. each style having its own followers. This season We will see great deal of the essentially feminine and truly beautiful which is advocated by Worth and his group of real artists with perhaps just enough of the unusual and eccentric to act a, a foil. Smong the latest developments is evidence of a tendency toward the use oi the cyclamen colors as preferred to the exceedingly bright and vivid ones that thus far have been exploited. Since these shades are always dainty, always exquisite and always cool in effect, they are really ideal for summer while there is no danger of losing the picturesque effect entirely since the deep, rich tones will be used in modera- tion and in contrast with white and often as a foil for quieter tones but, with the coming of real heat, are likely to lose some of the aggressive quality that has been apparnet throughout the spring.

That circular founces make one ot the most important features IS already an established fact and further evidence of their favor is given in the little girls dress. In one view, it is made with just one founce while in another. it shows three, and both styles are fashionable.
 For the tiny tots, long waisted frocks of pure white with colored sashes are the prettiest of the season and the one shown here Is finished with just a touch of hand work that always seems to mean elegance and distinction.

THE young girls costume illus
 trated shows the very newest
 skirt with circular founcc joined to the lower edge and dainty blouse that gives a guimpe effect. In the picture, it is made of toulard with organdie and orsandie is one of the best liked materials for guimpes, chemisettes and details of the sort. The full tucker that makes the front and center portions of the blouse is exceedingly dainty and girllike in effect and, while there is the suggestion of a guimpe, the sleeves are joined to the over blouse As matter of course, such a model can be copied in any seasonable material but the foulard and organdie are exceedingly smart.
