AGAIN STUFFED Elk Is STOLEN
Animal Recently In Harrisburg Lodge
Room Is Now In Pittsburgh


Once more has that S00-pound elk
been stolen, this time from the Oil
City Elk home, and it now reproses in
the Elk home at Pittsburgh.
. When the Harrisburg Elks made
way with the stuffed animal from the
Reading lodge, it was predicted, that
it wDald not remain in this city very
long, and such proved to be the fact
as the Oil City Elks, sojourning tenn
porarily in Harrisburg, swiped it one
morning about 3 o clock and sent it
to Oil City,
A, number of members of the Pitts
burgh lodge of Elks heard of the trav-
els of the animal, and decided. that it
ought to journey south. Last Wednes-
day night the new officers of the Oil
City lodge we're installed, one of them
being Montgomery Parks as exalted
ruler. Mr.. Parks is clerk to Senate
committee and was one of those who
purloined the elk from Reading.
No sooner were the ceremonies at
tendant upon the installation of the
Oil City officers ended than a party
OF Pittsburgh Elks pouneed down upon
the Elk home after midnight, stole it
and sent it to Pittsburgh, where it
will remain until some other band of
midnight marauders gets it away.
That elk is sure going some.

NEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers-Meat
Forms Uric Acid

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys
in their efforts to expel it from the
blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush Off the
bedy's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here J;
take tablespoonful in 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, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to flush and stimulate sluggish kid
neys, also to neutralize the acids in
urine, so it no longer irritates, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink.-Adv.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARkEN HAIR
Common Garden Sage and Sulphur
~, Makes streaked, Faded or Gray
Hair Dark and Glossy at Once

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp
and stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was to
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth h's-Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get a large bot
tie for about SO cents. Everybody uses
this old, famous recipe, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair disap.

linen suits. A very well-cut linen suit
in oyster white was made on Norfolk
lines with belt and very large pockets
on the side over the hips. The box
pleats in the coat were duplicated in
the box pleats on the skirt, which, in
this case, were pressed down to the

often laid in at the top, but are not
pressed in.

Callot striped and checked taffetas in
the sand color and black combinations
are extremely smart. One which l liked
very much was made with q surplice

back, with the sides cut on the straight
of the material and pleated. A girdle
of the same material was worn around
the waist, ending in the back with q
large up-and-down bow of the checked
silk.
My first illustration shows the trim
tailored lines of an up-to-date shirt
waist of sand-eolored chiffon and trim
black skirt. The belt, which is notice
able for the placing of it's pockets, is
of pique and clasps in the front with
pearl button-clasps.
The separate waist and skirt are
holding a strong place in the wardrobe
of the woman of to-day. The waists are
usually trim and tailored in their lines
and the skirt should be short and far
ing around the lower edge, while the
shoes of sand, gray, black, or tan should
lace up the side instead of the front.
Large white linen or pique collars
with cuffs to match, are charming worr
over the simple waist of gray or black
giving the effect of a Puritan or q
Quaker costume. Gray taffeta is used
for one dress, with a skirt tucked in
large tucks in the back while the front
which commences at the hips, is per
feetly plain. The full waist is topped
with a large unstarched linen collar
and the long, close-ftting sleeves ha.
gauntlets to match the collar.
Some waists are made with a square
or oval opening in front-somethine
like the shape of mans shirt bosom
only not so deep. A tucked or pleated
front of white organdy, with rount
collar fitting neatly over the back, il
used for a chemisette in these waists.

grain ribbon about an inch and a half
in width, which ended in double loops
in the back which hung to the shoulders.
The party dresses for the little girls
this age were made of sheer organdy or
batiste. One was made with the de-
cided Empire waist and was charming,
while the other which noted particu-
, larly was made with waistline just
below the normal. The skirt was made
with double ruffies edged with lace, but
the whole effect from arm-pit to bottom
of skirt was very straight and up and
down, and the sleeves were three-quar-
ter length rather than short or very
long.

The long tunic has not disappeared,
for on some of the most up-todate suits
they are worn. These tunics are so long,
however, that it is but an inch or so of
the underskirt that is seen beneath.
Sometimes the tunic is shorter in front
than in the back and the lower skirt
may be of contrasting material. Such

and black-and.white striped taffeta.
The waist worn with this skirt was
made with a black collar lined with the
striped material and faring so that the
black and white formed decided trim

Other TUNES are slashed up the side
and give almost an apron effect front
and back. Again, the tunic shrinks to
mere apron in front, which may have
rounded corners and be edged with a
narrow, 1uted ruffle of the same ma
terial
In my illustration is to be seen a
checked taffeta dress, which is made
with the up-to-date tunic skirt The
check is in gray and black, and white
with touch of sand is used for the
body of the waist and for the tunic or
overskirt. The vest of the waist and
the underskirt are of gray taffeta. A
cunning little hat is worn with this
dress, and is strictly tailored in it's sim
plicity and extremely smart.
Suits are very smart which have a

and skirt being a black collar ON the
