STRAIGHT LINES LIKED
SEASONS STYLES MEET WITH
 GENERAL APPRECIATION.
Few Women on Whom They Do Not Look Especially WeIl-Afternoon Frock Illustrated Is Good
 Example to Note.

Quite the incest thing about this sea sons dresses is that they look well on most of us. You may have felt posi- tive the new frocks would never suit your own particular style, but as soon as you tried on a few in the shops you knew you had seldom seen yourself as becomingly gowned.
 After the trying complexity of re- cent draped designs that were really suited to so few figures, the grace and dignity of the new straight lines come as blessing. Then, too, with fuller skirts it is relief to feel able to ne- gotiate lifesized steps. We need no longer give an imitation of musical comedy chorus of Japanese geisha girls with their hobbled. mincing steps.
 Most stylish and practical is the pretty afternoon frock shown in the accompanying cut. It is fashioned in mulberry broadcloth, with band trim mings of skunk.
 The loose, skirtlike blouse is held to the figure only along the cording that describes raglan sleeve line It's fur bordered hem hangs unconfined over a hip girdle of the dress material The

IN THE BOUDOIR FURNISHING
Wastebasket, Simple or Elaborate, Is Something That Must Be Given
 Consideration.

The boudoir wastebasket is a dainty thing. and not so impracticable as one would think it upon first glance. It may be very simple or it may be very elaborate, according to the time and material which you have to give to it.
 An ordinary wire basket, such as is used in offices, of the smallest size, is best for the purpose, but wicker one may be used if you already have one on hand. Cover the outside of the basket with silk that in color har- moniZes with the boudoir or bed room for which it is intended. From two to three widths of material may be needed for this silk covering, de- pending, of course, upon the width of the material and the circumference of the wastebasket One way of ad- justing the silk cover to the basket is to run gathering thread along the bottom edge (after having scanned the whole together) of the silk, and pull the thread tight until sort of bag is formed Place the basket in this bag, flattening the little bunch of gathers out so that the basket will stand fiat upon the floor without wab- bling. Turn down the raw edge of the upper part of the material so that it forms an inch and a half ruffle head ing, and proceed to gather it close to the basket. When this has been done an inch and half or two-inch ribbon band should be tied about the top over the shirring thread and about the bot tom of the basket from two to three inches from the base, each band end

Hard Fighting in Alsace.

London.-Interest in the war now lies chiefly in the stubborn fight which the French and Germans are carrying on for the roads to Cernay and the Muelhausen in Upper Alsace The battle in that region, which has been raging for a week, is described Tn Berlin dispatch as tho most vio- lent of the war. The Germans suc- ceeGed in legaining one of the trencn as which they had lost, but on the whole, the French reports appear to show that the forces of Trance maintain their advantage, for every inch of which they had to fight, in mary cases with the bayonet.

ing in bow. one right above De oth- CT. A more elaborate basket can be made by covering the whole with metal lace or gold net. It is possible to obtain somewhat the same effect by stretching piece of old lace curtain on an improvised frame of some sort, gliding it very lightly with gold paint, then removing it and applying it to the basket
 The boudoir baskets are sometimes lined with silk, as we'll as having an outside covering of it. If such a lining is placed in the basket it should be fastened only with large basting stitches, so that it can readily be re- moved and washed when soiled.
 The silk wastebasket makes charming and imposing gift for the holidays, and one which is not so ex- pensive as it's impression is favorable.

Hooper's Strenuous Prooram.

Nashville, Tenn.-Governor Hooper. in addition to his recommendation for anti-liquor legislation, which went to the legislature Thursday, included the following proposed laws: For remov- al of derelict officials, prohibiting all clubs from serving liquor or operat- ing lockers, search and seizure, strict regulation of liquor sales by drug gists, interchange of judges, and amendments to the anti-shipment law. The so-called nuisance" law, he says, should be amended in several particu- lars. One suggestion provides for the destruction of bar fixtures and another would make the manufacture of beer a nuisance"

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
 KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
 Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they be- come sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache. sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft en get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult good, reliable physi- clan at once or get from your pharma- cist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com binet with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irri- tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effer. vescent lithia-water drink-Adv.

Anti-Alien Act Invalid.

San Franeisco.-The Arizona anti alien employment act, adopted by the people of the state at the November election as an initiative measure, was declared unconstitutional, null and void here by special court of three federal judges. The court held that if the state of Arizona could forbid any employer to hire more than 20 per cent of aliens it could, with equal justice, forbid him 70 hire one per cent, or even an individual alien. The act ordered that any employer with a pay roll of five or more names must see that at least 80 per cent of those names were duly qualified electors.

Interest in Ionu Tunic.

Although many dress skirts are in circular cut, this is rarely the case with velvet dresses, as the long tunic is especially good in velvet. These long overskirts, as they may be called. re- .quire weight in the cloth to make them aang gracefully, and are, therefore, an aesEaetive style for velvet. Circular skirts are very apt to hang unevenly in velvet, as the weight of the cloth drags down the skirt at the sides.

PRESIDENTS FRIEND BELIEVED TO HAVE PERISHED IN ROCKIES

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 26.-Swal- lowed up in the fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains and long ago given up as dead, the mysterious disappear ance of Dr. Thornton R. Sampson of Austin, Texas, has become today a part of the lore of these historic hills. Explanations of his accidentally hav- ing lost his way and perished from starvation have weakened under the most thorough searches.
 The wierdest of many wierd stories is that Rev. Sampson was murdered by q hermit in the hills above Estes. The Texan himself, in one of his last letters to his wife, mentioned "queer companion" Dr. Sampson was a friend of President Wilson's. Snow had fallen over the section of the range in which he was lost and eX- perienced mountaineers hold out no hopes that he will ever be fourd alive.
