Little aristocrats of the apron tribe
make their appearance at holiday time
each year, always sure of a welcome
and never failing to find many admir-
ers. 1t lies without their province to
be anything but dainty and becoming,
with perhaps a little usefulness thrown
in by way of good measure. But use
fulness is really a matter OF secondary
Importance, the main thing being the
charm that lies in the refinement of
these frivolous and pretty furbelows.
Serving aprons and sewing aprons
are made of fine cotton goods-organ-
dies, swiss, embroidery, batiste and
lawns with laces and embroidery
used for ornamentation and ribbons
employed for finishing. They are
much elaborated and bedecked, and
they are small and gracefully shaped.
The materials and trimmings used
are washable and the aprons last a
ong time. They are very easily made,
and among the least expensive of
really worthwhile holiday gifts.
Allover embroideries and dotted
swiss are chosen for the majority Of
the aprons displayed for the holidays
this year. Occasionally pretty figured
lawns appear among them, or plain
batiste with lace insertions let in in
various designs and having lace frill
about the edge. They are set on 70
narrow band of sheer material, and
this is finished with ends for tying in
bow at the back. A belt may be
made of wide beading, and satin rib
BON, in light color, run through It
md extended into ties. Small bows
and rosettes of ribbon are posed on
rockets or somewhere at the edge.

OF all the handsome fur-fabrics, that
which initiates broadtail or moire
caricm is the handsomest. In making
this variety of their product the man
ufacturers have achieved a marvellous
likeness to the skins they initiate, in
a material less bulky and more dur
able than the fur. The expert fur
dealer must look twice TO tell the diff
ference between it and his own wares,
In made-up garment.
Designers have taken advantage of
this material to make up wraps that
really deserve to be described as
splendid It's suppleness allows am
pie length and fullness without too
great weight, and its beauty makes

the details Of finishing, appropriate.
Unless fur-fabrics are degraded in
quality they are destined to play a
great part in our apparel in the COM
ing seasons.
The stately coat shown in the pic
ture is made of an imitation of broad
tail Tor baby lamb. 1t is far more
elegant than the cheap grades of fur
and no fur could be fashioned into a
more impressive garment. 1t will solve

Sleeveless coatees will be worn all

In one white velour hat the crown

lota of water.

We are q nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says q
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
Jumps of lead, and you have singing
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, or the bladder is irrI-
table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless-
ness. acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in O glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it IS
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iniure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, and nobody can make
a mistake by taking a little occasionally
to keep the kidneys clean and active.

The trip from Chetek to Ladysmith
by automobile via Canton and Lee
high is a real pleasant one prov1d-
ed you know enough to stay on the
right roads. Besides the good roads
you meet former Chetek people all
along the way.
At Canton you pass on the way
Print Glaze and Severt Solum, both
owning fine FARMS While at Lehlgh
you meet F. w Ziesenis, the lord
high mayor who owns the town site
and is developing a profitable mer-
camille business. Passing on to
Weyerhaeuser you shake hands with
DR.. L. j. Phillips, who is building
up a fine practice, and the Tabor
brothers, Len and Ell, who have the
confidence of all the people around
there and are doing we'll in the
produce and warehouse trade.
Over at Bruce and Atlanta we
find Mr.. and Mrs. Morris W1tter'
Mr.. and Mrs. Atwood live on

is the rich stock farm of Mr.. ana

But of all things the Rusk county
roads catch the travellers eye. Phil
Koehler, who was one of the fellows
who helped plant Rusk county
and watched along patiently while it
grew up, is the highway commission

and the automobilers all swear by
Phil, while very few swear at him,

He is a valuable asset to Rusk coun-
