The industri. depression and the
consequent react on against the DEM
ocratic tariff UT Aoubtedly was the is
sye which primarily determined the
reactionary results of the recent cleo

Democratic parties have passed tariff
by the old method OF long rolling and
the people have successfully repudiat-
ed them both.
so long as the tarifr is made In
politics and log rolling there can be
no stability OF Industrial conditions
and business can have no peace. Tho
way to provide stable industrial con-

"A WARNING TO MANY.
Some Interesting Facts About Kidney
Trouble

Trouble.
Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kindeys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes chemical
analysis Of tho patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot readily be brought back
to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble. caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913, in the State of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health
of these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is Dr. Kilmcr's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases. is
soon realized. according to sworn
statements and verified testimony Of
those who have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys re-

c ERGE with a wide vale or a heavy D whipcord or any of the fancy cord ed weaves in fabrics used in making a gown like that shown here will de- velop a costume as chic as any the season has offered, although in a de- sign so simple that it is distinguished By comparison with the hounced or, more properly, tiered skirts, and the much fussed up but pretty jackets which the present mode parades in endless variety, this dress is uncom- promisingly simple. Yet it follows the mode and will be singled out as one of the most attractive opponents of it.
 The same style is pretty in taffeta silk, in satin and in plain cloths. But the last do not prove so easy to hang in the lines pictured in this illustra- tion. Thei , must be a certain degree of stiffness in the weave for the best results.
 This gown, like all the other sue cessful ones. hangs upon the figure in the easiest manner The skirt is mar rowed at the bottom by gathering the body into wide band at the lower edge. The band, in this case, ls of the same material as the rest of the skirt,

side of this length to form the narrow outstanding rufile; the wider ruflle is made of the remainder of the ribbon The ribbon is sloped off toward the ends along the raw edge, which is gathered in two rows to form this ruff fie. The girdle is finished with a plain bow of satin ribbon.
 A girdle of vivid green velvet ribbon is simply a length to extend about the waist line finished with fiat shallow loop and a plain, hanging end. One might not look atiit twice, but for the satin rose of the most vivid red i'm. aginable. It could not be brighter or more beautifully made. It's stem is tied in small bow, made of narrow green ribbon matching the wide rib bon. The combination is so unusual and vivid and smart that it cannot be forgotten.
 The pretty girde of plain satin rib bon has a new and attractive finish at the ends. It hooks under a buckle covered by narrow satin ribbon wound about it. The end is extended and formed into a bow with hanging loop. This extension to the girdle if to be fastened up on to the bodice anC is more or less long, as 1t is to b' pinned more or less high above tho girdle. This is one of several new | girdles in which extensions of ribbon are introduced to be pinned to th, l blouse or bodice.
 Circles are loosely adjusted. Long sashes wrapped about the figure anC without hanging ends are not new, but are liked by the smanest dressers.

EARLY in the seasons career of L style changing, there came an edict from Paris to the effect that three quarters of the hair to show should govern the shaping and posing of hats
 Although we have developed much independence of Parisian edcts, this particular one has been favorably con- sidered The "thTce-quarters of the hair to show" means that one side of the face and hair is to be silhouetted against the hat brim, or at least to be uncovered by the shape of the hat
 With this in mind the coiifure has risen to the occasion and is cOnsid- cred with reference to the hat. The hair is waved and, since something of the front and back and much of the side must be in evidence, its ar engagement across the forehead at the nape of the neck and at the sides, are all to be considered in adopting a style with reference to it's fitness for the hat.
 It must fit the face of the wearer, too, and the effort to meet ali these requirements has resulted in a variety of new cultures. mostly high all waved and, as a rule attractive.
 Women whose length of neck war rant it may wear the hair in a coil at the back, more or less low. The lines of the hair have to be adapted to the face and their direction con trolled for it. In the coffure pic tured here wiCh a hat the face will bear the long sloping line of the waved hair from the top of the head

although with a sparing use of the striped trimming elsewhere it might be made of the stripe, with fine effect.
 The plain blouse, open at the front. has fairly long skirt of the fabric of the gown. It terminates in a wide bor- der of Roman striped ribbon with a panel let in at the front which extends up on the bodice to the bust line. There is a vest of white net and fiaring collar which turns back from the neck all around. It is supported with fine wires that hold it in shape, and fin- ished with a narrow binding of rib bon.
 The overskirt is shaped to lengthen at the sides and back and is turned up across the back, showing the reverse side of the striped border across half it's width. The sleeves are long with the upper part wide at the arms eye and gradually narrowing to the elbow Below this they are narrowed to the arm with no room to spare.
 Altogether this gown and hat may be classed among those that possess distinction. Black colonial pumps and black silk hose clothe the feet.

TT HE handsomest and smartest \ sashes or girdles are made of the widest ribbons It is their office to extend above and below the waist line in encircling the figure, and many of them, the newest ones. are so made that they seem to become a part of the bodice and a part of the skirt. That is. a bodice trimming and an oyorskirt are attached to the girdle, all made of the same ribbon.
 A group of the newest girdles is shown here. The first is made of a heavy white grosgrain ribbon with lowered center panel finished with a border of narrow satin stripes at each side. The middle panel shows a splendid pattern of raised velvet roses and foliage all in natural colors and blurred design, with shadows in pale gray. These really magnificent ribbons are portraits of flowers done in oil might envy They are expen- sive and luxurious looking. The gir- dle is fastened with hooks and eyes at the ends, which are bOned to the required width. Two ears of ribbon are doubled and sewed together, with a simple knot at the center.
 The second girdle is made of flow. cred Dresden ribbon having a white ground and small blurred roses and foliage, either printed or woven in A wide ribbon is used laid in four plaits for the girdle. The ruffles are made of length once and half that of the girdle, or more, depending upon the amount of fullness required. Two inches and a half are cut off from one

on much the same lines and made of and for dancing shoes they insure clever effects. The style of the tie indicates small rhinestone ornaments and buckles, and these one finds upon them. The tango tie, with ribbon lace, shown in the picture, is a conception in ties that could hardly be excelled for beauty.
 In many of the pumps and ties the buckles or ornaments are placed at the sides. The effect is elegant. A simpler tie is shown fin the third fig ure. very quiet in design and graceful in shape It is furnished with patent colt vamp and black brocaded quar- ters. It has lightweight sole. easy for dancing and new Spanish heel flattering to the foot
 American women grow more exact ing with each season in the matter of footwear And American manufac- turers keep up with all these demands and foster others, in fact, create them. by showing marvels of fine finish and elegant taste in shoes. In this partic- ular article we excel all other people in clothing the feet of the moderns and the civilized, appropriately.
 Now we are beginning to depart from black and to insist upon clean streets. that lighter colors may walk without becoming too soon begrimed.

TT HE shoes of today distinguish their X American makers, for they are brilliant achievements in the realm of footwear. When one considers that the fashionable shoe is wide of the mark in shape when it comes to fol- lowing the natural lines of the foot and yet is comfortable, it is possible to realize something of the ingenuity which is demonstrated in its making.
 The most popular shoe for ordinary wear. the neatest and most shapely is the Colonial Pump, like that shown in the picture. It is developed in many different styles and combina- tions of feathers or of leather and fabrics. These embody the patent leather vamp and the quarter of oth- CT leather or of plain or brocaded fab rics. Contrasting color is used in the quarters sometimes, light gray or white. and light tan are among the more pleasing effects,
 The pumps are fastened (apparent- ly) under buckles of cut steel or sil- yer fltgree or enamel. Pumps for evening wear are often made with yamp of satin and quarter of patent calfskin, with finish of rhinestone buckles or ornaments. The pump shown here is ideal in style and may be considered a criterion by which to measure others.
 There is almost as great variety in ties as in pumps. They are shaped

FF you are fretting your mind in try ling to make a decision as to what sort of hat you will have for midsum. mer, let 1t rest upon one similar in general style to the two pictured here. Have the prettiest, most becoming and most fascinatingly feminine of all millinery with laces and flowers and ribbons making up a confection 10 be worn upon the head. For the mid summer hat will sit at the top notch of style when it is a means of wee ring good-sized bouquet fastened to a fair head at some slightly dashlng angle.
 Roses and small flowers in the nat ural sizes, the lilac and the violet, forget-me-not, heliotrope, and heather, and small daisies betoken the love for garden flowers which lies in the mind of many wearers of flower hats. But the flower hat bedecks itself with flowers common and uncommon From the yellow field daisy to the most un- usual orchid, like and unlike their prototypes, everything in flowers is fashionable
 One of the hats shown here is a r?und crown covered with maline in brown, of the shade of it's wearer's hair. Over the crown brim is slipped, covered in the same way as the crown. It is narrow at the right side, widens and flares up at the left A fine ma chine-made lace is laid smoothly over

to the loN coil. In the coiffure with out a hat the hair is drawn back from the face in lines that lift instead of falling, and the hair pinned in above the coil In this coiffure, too, the coil is higher
 This latter arrangement of the front hair, loosely waved about the face and drawn back is used with French twis. at the back of the head terminating in a coil and puffs at the top. But the hair is very loosely drawn up at the back, with fullness enough to i'll in between the hat brim and the head Randeau trimmings and undcrbrim bows are cleverly ar ranged to help out in this matter of filing in.
 Another noteworthy feature of the adaptation of hat 10 hair is evidenced in the use of malines matching the hair in color Facines of shirred ma line on the underbrims of hats, if made in the color of the hair. are wonderfully effective
 In all the new cultures the hair is waved and the ears are almost en- tirely covered And the hair is brought forward on the cheek when the coiffure is designed for youthful wearers. Sometimes wave is combed forward and adjusted by means of invisible pins. Sometimes a lock is curled into a wiry ringlet and plastered down with bandoline, as in the coiffure shown here, and rarely a cluster of short ringlets is fiattened and fastened down with invisible pins which hold them in place

crown and brim. There are plateaus of lace made for this purpose, but mil liners fashion for themselves plateaus of laces which they buy by the yard.
 The lower part of the brim is GOV cred with lace also in this particular hat, although in others part of the mil linery braid is used or part of a body hat, SIS shown in the second figure. The crown here is of leghorn with the brim, covered with horsehair braid, set in.
 The lower crown tor bandeau) of the first hat is trimmed with velvet rib bon in brown and a shaded fancy os- trich feather is in the same coloring, shading off to a very light tint. Deep cream roses, with pink hearts, and natural colored silk wheat, are placed in groups about the brtm, with one cluster at the base of the plume on the bandeau.
 The second hat is trimmed with silk roses in yellowish pink They are marvels of delicate coloring, with the shadings and even the veins of the natural petals simulated in the half opened buds The foliage also in dark glossy green is made with low ing fidelity to nature.
 As types of midsummer millinery these hats may be regarded as cri- terions. They are not merely modish, but the mode.
