GET RID OF HUMORS
Hoods Sarsaparilla 10 the Medicine 70
Take-Makes Pure Blood.

Dry, moist, scaly letter, pimples,
boils, and other eruptions come from
humors, which may be either IN
herited, or acquired through defec-
tive digestion and assimilation
To treat these eruptions with dry
Ing medicines is dangerous.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old reli-
able medicine. helps the system to
discharge the humors, and improves
the digestion and assimilation.
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla from your
druggist. 1t may be confidently re-
lied upon to do its work. 1t purifes
the blood, tones the stomach, and
builds up the whole system. 1t goes
to the roots of diseases, and Its bene-
fetal results are permanent. It sets
things to rights in the system. Re-
member to ask for Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, because nothing else acts like 1t
and nothing else can take its place.

work is of interest locally because the

of the Keokuk chapter, and because
some Of the local women have visited

achievements Mas the purchase Of a

the personal property Of old Col.
Rochester for ! whom the city was
named The house was built In 1885
and it's value to the chapter Is en-
l1ansed by its age, because they agree
with Goldsmith who said, 81 love
everything that's old, old friends, old
times, old manners. old books, old
wine" Colonel Rochester received
his title for service in the revolution
airy war, and four generations Of his
family lived in the old mansion, the
family residing there continuously for
seventy-two years Few if any chap
ter houses have such historic interest.
There is an interesting story told
in connection with the present Euro
pean war, showing how universal is
th.. spirit Of sympathy and how ready
is the response to an appeal for help.
A patient in one of the military hos
pitfalls on the firing line in France,
wrote home telling of a.soldLsr in the
hospital who had no folks" and SEEM
ingly no friends. The following ex-
tract from the letter was published in
a London paper:
"Of the many unfortunate soldiers
! have met out here, this young lad
seems most to deserve the title of the
lonely man. He has not received a
letter or parcel since he came out
her, because he has no friends: NO
one cares enough for him to send him
the slightest word of announcement.

Of Interest to Women
BY Wlnona Evans Reeves.

The mere right to vote which
the adoption Of the pending
amendment to the constitution
Will give to the women OF Iowa is
not the only advantage it will
bring to them. 1t will bring to
them more real and deeper
sense of the value and meaning of
hIe. Their relation to the affairs
OF the world will be of immensely
greater significance. The feeling
OF subordinate or less efficient
relation will disappear. A partici-
patton in the direction of public
affairs Will quicken the Intellect,
strengthen the character and en-
large the vision.

and becoming one, and, while it is
dubbed the garden smock, it is smart
for tennis, golf, the morning walk and
tor all similar uses. In the picture,
it is made of white linen with cretonne
trimming, but the treatment of the
costume could be reversed of course
and the smock made of the cretonne,
while the skirt and trimming are of
white. The second costume is sim
pie one with shirt waist and skirt, but
the fact that the shirt waist is trimmed
with collar and cuffs of cretonne gives
it the costume effect. 1t is a very
simple model and one especially
adapted to the home dressmaker be-
cause of that very fact and it occupies
a very important place in the ward
robe because OF it's extreme availability.
1t is good for the morning hours, no
matter to what use they are put and it
is really perfect for tennis, golf, boat
ing and the like. The skirt is made
in what is known as sports style, with
only seam at each side to be sewed.

hens and Tapped one over the other to

variations. 1t makes an exceedingly
charming accessory and in one form
or another, it is becoming to almost

at the waist line in the front where
the ends disappear beneath the belt.

RULY cretonne has become one
Of the fads of the season. First.
it was introduced little care
fully and cautiously. We saw it as
trimming upon white and we rather
liked the effect, then some parasols
in cretonne appeared and now, we
have cretonne skirts and cretonne
coats. cretonne used for very nearly
al daytime occasions, for it no longer
- confined to the sports costumes and
to the garden costume, it also has
entered the realm of the afternoon
gown of general wear. If the colors
are we'll chosen and the design is not
too large. the effect is good, therefore.
the success of each costume de-
ponds upon the taste and discretion
OF the owner. The material is pleasant
tor summer wear and it launders Sue
cessfully, SO that it has great many
advantages. In the picture, there are
shown various uses. The pretty gar
den costume up at the extreme, left,
illustrates not alone cretonne, but
also the garden smock which may
fairly be described as one of the Sue
eesses OF the season. 1t is very pretty

Early as it is, there are some evil
dences of the coming season to be
met and as often is the case, there are
certain new features being introduced
into the summer costumes that may
fairly be taken as heralds Of the
autumn. A charming costume just
completed, is, for example. of blue
and white checked taffeta. The skirt
is cut at the bottom in a rather odd
shaping and is finished with band Of

forms deep points that are edged with

Of exceeding interest. That fur

and they are being reserved almost ex-

an exceedingly effective combination.

trimming material, there are bands
over the shoulder seams and there is

yellow silk is used to finish the lower
edge. Of the coat and to finish the
cuffs. We are seeing some very fasci-
mating sports costumes Of silk too that

and distinctive. A new one seen at a
nearby resort Is made with killed skirt
Of white habutai silk, over which is

broidery combines white with yellow
threads and the wide crushed girdle
IS OF the yellow silk. A widely different
costume but still one designed for
afternoon wear, takes the form of an
Elton suit of navy blue faille with white
silk and with chiffon trimming. The
band on the full skirt is of the white
silk and the girdle also is of the white
silk, held by blue crystal buttons.
The jacket is very novel one, with
under-sleeves of white silk, banded
with blue silk and with cuffs of the
taille, but there is wide rolling collar
with narrow band of tha blua.

be, for with the gown is fascinating
little bodice of soft blue crepe. For
the next season, we may look for just
such effects in cloth, for checked
cloths are talked and are exploited by
the wholesale and the combination Of
checked with plain is always good
one. One Of the most interesting
features of the costume mentioned.
however, is the use OF cloth on silk and
it must be admitted that it makes
good effect.
The combination Of plain material
with checked and with plaid is a
favorite one and both forms are con-
stantly appearing. An exceedingly
smart costume, designed for q trip
to the Exposition and which 10 Of
the very generally useful sort for such
need, is made Of very light weight
navy gabardine. combined with plaid
taffeta. The gabardine is dark, but
not navy in color and the silk is not
aggressive in its brightness. but makes
a good contrast. The skirt is laid in
rather wide box-plaits and is cut off
a few inches below the waist line,
where the upper edge Of each plat is
cut to form deep scallop. The seal
lops are bound and Tapped onto the
yoke of the plaid silk. The silk also
makes the very pretty full bodice
that is finished with wide girdle and
with a little vestee and cuffs Of the
gabardine. The collar is rolling one.
rather high at the back but open at
the front to be cool and comfortable
and is Of the plain blue with white
organdie overlapping it and altogether.

be buttoned together. The big pockets
serve the double purpose of con-.
venience and smartness. Besides
being available for cretonne, the model
is an excellent one for linen, for pique.
tor cotton gabardine, and for the
genuine awning cloth that is one of
the very latest fancies of the fashion
able world.
The afternoon gown is made with
bolero hounced skirt and shows very
pretty, daintily colored cretonne COM
bined with white cotton gabardine. 1t
makes a very pretty toilette and
very dainty one, but it would of
. course be quite easy to spoil the effect
by an unwise choice of colors To be
good for such use, the cretonne must
always be dainty. The circular
Aounces give very pretty and graceful
fare and they are arranged over a
plain foundation. For the cretonne.
the edges Of the founces are left plain
as matter of course, but the skirt is
one of the very useful sort; it can be
made really elaborate and become
adapted to taffeta and materials Of
the kind, If the Gounces are cut with
pointed edges and are bound either
with braid or with the material, cut
bias. The little bolero is as pretty for
silk as it is for the cretonne and the
silk could be used to produce just the
color effect shown here, for lowered
silks are very beautiful and very many
and lowered tafeta on a foundation
of plain white would make very
handsome costume, adapted to more
formal use than this one, while giving
the same picturesque result that seems
50 essential to present styles.
Every wardrobe Of the present sea-
son must include it's sports coat. The
one that is shown here is of awning
striped tafeta and it is worn over a
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1915-07-24

skirt Of pongee. 1t is good model
for that silk and also for the Jersey
silk that is being so much used. for
serge and for gabardine and for the
cretonne that is 50 much under dis
cussion, indeed it is good coat for
any material adapted to such use. It
is perfectly plain and simple, easy to
make, yet smart in all its lines The
fronts are underfaced. consequently
they can be rolled back to any depth
or bottoned up closely as occasion
requires and either sash or belt can
be used, but for the silk coat. the
sash is apt to be preferred. The skirt
that accompanies it is cut in four cores
that fare to give abundant width at
the lower edge. while they are per-
fectly plain at the belt. Plain taffeta
makes charming coat of this sort
and the striped silks are greatly in
vogue and for really hard usage.
gabardine is one of the best liked ma
terials, while pongee must always be
counted on as being serviceable, cool
and always good in effect. either the
natural colored or blue pongee being
particularly desirable for such use.
Simplicity is the one great essential
requirement Of the little girls cos
tunes designed for summer wear.
No. 37o3 makes an excellent model.
1t is just plain little slip-on dress,
buttoned into place at the shoulders.
IN the picture, it is made from a very
pretty bit Of cretonne and the blouse
beneath is of white lawn. but mothers
can use this design for linen, for
Bingham or for the cretonne illustrated
to make a good morning dress. or, for
tafeta, fine wolfe or some similar ma
terial to make an afternoon frock.
The blouse can be shirred as it is here.
or shocked and shocking makes a
very important feature Of fashions this
summer.
