Besides en air and held to orderly lives, which is excellent for their health.
 With the women it is another story. A farmers wife may have small chil- dren to care for; she still must do the spring blowing. And she has done it. The shopkeepers wives must keep their shops. When application is made for it, the wife of soldier in the militia receives a guilder a day forty cents-but with even his offic- ial assistaace. there are still thous- ands of cases of hideous misery.
 With all ef tHose the Rcyal National Relief committee is occupied, and the generous among the Hollanders of wealth foot the bills.
 Some of the direst need is among those of good family in Holland whose income has been small but regular from old, established securities of com panies whose business has been crip- pied by the war There are no more dividends.

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid
Which Clogs the Kidneys and
Irrltates the Bladder.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need a flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach. sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and c~lean-and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
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, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful e~fervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious COM
plications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be-
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.-Adv.

Coins From Ear to Ear.

Count Karolyi, according to the Vos-
sische zeitung, returning to his castle
in Hungary, met n Of his old serv-
ants who had just been sent back
wounded from the war.
MY good man, l heard you fought
SO valiantly at the 'front.'" said the
count. Il would like to give you some
reward. What shall it beg"
The old servant replied:
well Il you insist upon it, sir, just
give me enough kronen coins to reach
from one ear to the other"
THAT seems to be a very little re
ward" replied the count, smiling at
the odd request.
tits enough for me, sir" answered
the servant modestly.
AS the count was beginning to com
ply with the strange request he no.
ticed that the servant had only one
ear, and remarked upon the fact.
Yes, sir. l left the other ear on
the battle field at Shabatz," answered
the modest man.

MAGISTRATE COULDN'T SEE 1T
Mikes Splendid Excuse Failed to
Touch Hard.Hearted Occupant
Of the Bench.

1t was not the first time, by a long
way, that Mike Mulhogan had stood in
that particular police court as the chief
actor in the play-call it tragedy or
comedy, as you think fit.
But it was not merely custom that
had robbed the court of it's terrors on
this occasion. The reason for his happy
smile lay in the fact that he had a
real downright. cast-iron defense.
He was charged with having been
found on the occupied premises to
which he had no moral or legal right
of entrance. Yet, when the charge
was read out, he smiled even more
happily, if that be possible, than ever.
Not guilty, your worship" he ex-
claimed, with conviction.
But" answered the magistrate,
there seems to be no doubt that you
were found on these premises. What
is your defense?"
Mike leaned on the dock rail and
addressed the magistrate confden-
TALLY.
ITS like this. your worship" he said
amiably. 1T was two o'clock Of a
fine autumn morning. clear moon. not
a cop in sight, and the dining room
window wide open-and a mighty fine
dining room it was, too! Why, your
worship, supposiR you had been pass
ing there, blow me IL you wouldn't

A little later poor Mikes smile had
vanished.

NEW COMFORTS ARE DAINTY
May Be Made Comfortable and Ex-
tremeiy Pretty at Comparatively
Small Cost.

Any of the new lowered silk or silk
oline goods make handsome bed COM
forts, with very little trouble and at
small cost. They may be filled wltA
cotton %wadding, or old blankets may
be used for the filling in place of the
Wadding. They should be about two
yards square. A dainty pink and
green flower spray on a white ground
is pretty, bound around the edge with
Lain pink silkoline. Pink zephyr tuft-
ing holds the material together in the
center, while the edges are stitched by
machine.
A comfort of silkoline in yellow
roses and green leaves on a white
ground has a border and under side of
plain green silkoline. It is often
easier to obtain the exact colors one
desires in silkoline than in silk. There
is an item of cost likewise to be con-
sidered in this fact. Tufting with
floss often gives a pretty finish.
When comforts are made of silk the
border should be placed at the ex-
IRENE edge of the comfort, because
silk does not come as wide as silko-
line. Japanese silk is especially at
tractive for the purpose. Silk muslin,
both plain and fancy, are much used
for bed comforts.

DICTATES OF FASHION

For a child there are seal nuff and
hat sets, trimmed with red or pink
roses-one on the hat, one on the
muff, both bright and Cheerful.
Black velvet ribbon is one of the
minor features of the autumn aashions.
Sometimes it is worn about the throat,
tied in a bow, with a long end or loop
reaching to be caught in apotter bow
on the front of the bodice.
Ostrich is used as a trimming on
many of the new blouses. Short 1ues
are used as a fringe to edge faring
collars and cuffs of organdie or satin
or silk. 1t is a decidedly soft and eff
fective means of trimming.
Ruffs of fur and tulle are among
the new things offered for the oontem-
plation and envy of smart woman
hood. There is a high-staniing tulle
ruching laring upward from a rather
narrow, snug collar of fur that clasps
snugly about the throat.

STYLES NOW ASSURED
THIS ALWAYS A HAPPY SEASON
OF THE YEAR.
Women Able to See Just What to Buy
and What to Avoid-Makes for
sartoriaI Satisfaction and for
Economy.

By this season of the year the styles
nave been so weeded out that most
OF US women go about with our minds
well made up as to what we should
avoid and what accept. That is an ex-
cellent state to be in, declares a fash
ion writer. We spend money much
more freely. We are not as apt to be
bitterly disappointed. We have seer
the gown we wanted in the beginning
turn out to be commonplace, and the
gown we hated turn out to be charm
ing.
We are exceedingly glad we were
not lured into the fashion for the long
coat. or persuaded into buying a short
coat, or buying a plated skirt, or Sc
lecting one with a panel tunic. Each
and all of these styles may be good,
but we know now that we would have
looked our worst in them.
What a pity 1t is that fashions do
not continue for at least twelve
months in order for US to rectify our
first bad bargaining! AS 1t is, so
eager for new things are the people
who buy and sell clothes that no SOON
er have we paid our money for one
gown than it is time to consider the
question all over again, and bring
whatever little experience the season
has taught us to bear on the ever re-
newing problem before US.
1t is this merry-go-round In the
world of costumery that perplexes US,
for only the most opinionated person
can go from one sartorial season to
another with a sure touch. Most of
us tumble in the dark as soon as the
winter clothes are ushering in those
of early spring.
We know that the short skirt is the
most fashionable to wear, and that
the faring long coat with it's almost
imperceptible belt well below the nor
waist line and it's long, close
sleeves, is correct. We have adopted
the satin blouse, close fitting, with
high wrinkled collar of satin instead
of chiffon; we have partly given up
the kimono, and agreed that all our
garments should fasten up the front.
In hats we have adopted the one
with a brim, the black and the dark
blue velvet, the scarcity of trimming,
the use of the burnt ostrich, the an
gle of fitting the brim over the right
eye and showing more of the back

averment that the blind people in the

that it costs about $4,000, 900 to SUP

causes. namely, sore eyes at birth and
neglected eyes during early school
life. The first cause can be removed

necessary is for the doctor or midwife

RUSSIANS RESUME MARCH
ON CRACOW AFTER BEATING
THE AUSTRIANS ON BIALA
Cars Army in Galicia, After Beng Forced to Raise Siege
Of Old Polish Capital, Cuts Enemy in Halves
TEUTON DRIVE AT WARSAW HAS FAILED

London.-The latest official reports
from the eastern theatre of war point
to strategical superiority for Russia.
Won Hindenburg has been stopped in
full stride before Warsaw, the Aus
TRANS have been routed with savage
t-horoughness in western Galicia, and
only the German movement from Mia
wa is threatening.
Petrograd says that Won linden
burg is imperilled by the new Austrian
debacle and must turn and run for it
unless he decides to attempt the i'm
possible. The Russians are now surg
ing toward Cracow once more and are
marching rapidly to begin another
siege.
The Austrian General Staff acknow-
Lodges as frankly as would be expect
ed the reverse in Galicia, saying that
Austrian forces are ~retreating from
the Russian offensive along the Biala;
that Russian attacks failed further to
the north on the Dunajec and the
Nida, and that fighting continues on
the Pilitza.
The net result Of the Russian opera
tons against the Austrians was the
capture of $4,000 prisoners and so ma
chine guns and the resumption of the
march toward Cracow.
Fierce storms in Flanders and most
of northern France compelled a cessa-
ton of fighting in the western theatre
of war.
The German official statement says
that the Allies attack along the Bel
gian coast was supported by the fire
of warships, which killed citizens of
Wetende; that the Germans captured
a trench near Ypres; that French at
lacks nea Arras and southeast of Yer
dun were repulsed.

ALLIES GAIN FROM
SEA TO vOSGES.


western battle front was marked by
a general advance of the Allies, ac-
cording to the official communications
from Paris. Before Newport, on the
northern extreme in Belgium, some
progress was made in pushing back
the German invaders, in La Bassee re-
gion a German, attack was repulsed,
in the Noyon section another trench
was taken, all the way from the Disc
to the Mouse the French made gains
both in infantry and artillery fighting
and in the Vosges vigorous attacks
by the Germans were repulsed and ad-
anc reported by the French.
On the eastern front, the situation
seemed about as mixed as ever, with
cables from Petrograd indicating that
the Russians were repulsing the Ger
mans west of Warsaw while develop
ing new offensive operations in
Galicia and East Prussia. Neverthe-
less Russia seems confronted with the
most serious problem of the war, as
the Germans are determined to occu-
Ply Warsaw at any cost. The news
shows that the Russian center, along a
junction of the Vistula and the Bzura
to Opoczno, still holds firmly, but the
Germans have been reinforcing their
armies on this front as we'll as devel-
oping dangerous attacks in southern
East Prussia and in southwest Poland.
In the south, southwest Poland and
in western Galicia, the news points
to Russian success. Evidently, from
Berlin and Vienna reports, as well as
the news from Petrograd, the initiative
lies with the Russians, and the Aus
trian offensive has been checked.
Italy took steps in Albania which
are likely to infuriate Austria and
may lead to Italy's Intervention in the
war. For the protection of Italian in
terests, marines were landed at Av-
Iona, directly across the AGriatic from
Otranto, and took possession Of the
city. There was no fighting. The
pretext for the step was the activity
of Moslem rebels who, said to be IN
stigated by Austria, were massacring
the adherents of Italy's friend, Essad
Pasha, and were looting just outside
| the walls of Avlona. An official dis
patch sent from the Italian warship,
Misurata, at Durazzo, says that the
Albanian rebels at Tirana are threat
ening to move against the govern
ment of Essad Pasha. Essad, who
was elected as provisional president
by the Albania Senate, left for Kroja
where he will organize a campaign
against the rebels.
Two British aviators arose and at
tempted to outfank the German.
Quickly they manoeuvred to the height
of a mile, and just above the German
began gathering speed. The aero
planes then were flying seventy miles
an hour, but the operator of the Taube
extending his motor to it's full speed.
