But what fur shall choose for a
black tailored suit?" demands the
practical woman whose talleur is
moro likely to be black than not. BY
all means select a fur that will give
some life and distinction to that black
suit; for when black Is intensely prac-
teal 1t Is seldom chic. To have style
value, black must be dashing and in
dividual, or it may be mourning black
which has a distinction all its own.
There are several furs that look well
with black. One of them is skunk;
another is chinchilla. Civet and cross
fox are also pleasing with a black tail

Beaver For The Exclusives.
OF all the furs, beaver is perhaps
most fashionable this season. Paris
has gone mad over beaver and 1t Is
used to trim frocks and hats as well
as tailored costumes. The soft. light
color of this pelt brightens a dark suit
and Paris is adhering to dark col
ors just now. in suits and frocks for
the street. Beaver Is used also with
sealskin in some very handsome. full
length coats. An authoritative Man

~ stunning seal and beaver outfit
which includes n long, beltcd coat.
trimmed with beaver, n little round
granny" nun OF beaver, and toque
of beaver just big enough TO perch on
the hair and tilt over the nose. The
coat is of Hudson seal and has set-in
sleeves and snug shoulder-l lines The
belt Is set at the natural waistl,ne and
below. the coat flares out in full rip
pies, a band OF beaver bordering the
edge. There are beaver cuffs and q
wide. straight beaver collar which
comes up in points at either side Of
the chin.
All really smart seal coats are now
trimmed with contrasting fur and so
great is the craze for natural animal
scarves that many handsome seal
coats, trimmed with skunk or fox have
huge neckpieces Of the long haired
pelt, with brushes to fall over one
shoulder-a barbaric display Of peltry
on one small woman.
ono last word: Tho woman who
owns white fox set should mako
haste and have 1t dyed, for white fox
is dead, from fashion standpoint.
Its unwonted prestige In Juno killed
it., as even this beautiful fur deserved,
for no fur should have the temerity
to exploit itself in June.

MANY TROUBLES DUE
TO WEAK KIDNEYS

at is no use advertising a medicine
unless the medicine itself is good
enough to back up the claims you
make for it," said w. w. Albers, the
popular druggist, to a Pilot man.
ION the other hand it is a pleasure to
sell a medicine when my customers
come in afterward and tell me how
much good it has done them. And
that is why like to sell and recon-
mend SOlyax, the great kidney re-
medy. l have so much faith in this
article that am going to guarantee
it in the future and will return the
money to any purchaser of Solvax
whom it does not help"
This shows great faith in SolyaX.
1t really is a most unusual medicine
because il overcomes the worst cases Of
kidney complaint by removing the
cause. 1t goes straight TO the seat Of
the trouble. 1t soaks right in and
cleans out the kidneys and makes
them pass of all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter that lodges in
the Joints and muscles, causing
rheumatic pains; soOthes and heals
the bladder and quickly ends all such
troubles.

Thoughts on Time and What Its Pass

All years are not alike in value to the
race or the individuals; neither are all
days. There are black days and white
days, weeks that are burdensome and
weeks that are like a merry chime of
bells months that rumble with the
thunder Of defeat and months that re-
sound with the shouts of victory.
There is no monOtony in time. 1t va
ries as does the landscape. In one pc
Rod it is as level as a western prairie,
with no special experiences TO mark its
passage; in another changes come and
events occur which make the weeks

New Year Philosophy.

We never complain about misfortune,
but we'd like to see the chap that stole
our shoes when we got so happy we
danced EN- off our feet.
Nothin' at all ag'in the old year.
When we get" into a corner with our
conscience the verdict is that he done
the best he could with the material he
had to work on.
If we meet the devil in the road this
New Year we'll change our plan en-
tirely Instead of fghtin' him with
fire We'll turn the hose on the warm
old sinner
On the last day of the year we moved
ten miles from Tribulation Town and
pitched our tents so close to HaIlelujah
hill that we're keepin the angels busy
hiding their crowns and harp strings

A GREETING TO NEW YEAR.
We Can Live 1t but Once, So Let Us
Spend 1t Worthily.

we IAN Live IL OQL Sfi(Gg ~ GSN IS
Spend 1t WorthiIy.
We are on the threshold of a new
year. We do not know what the year
holds for US. but we are not afraid of it.
We have learned to look for kindness
and goodness in all our paths, and so
we 20 forward with glad hope and ex-
pectatiOn.
1t is always a serious thing to live.
We can pass through any year but
once. If we have lived negligently we
cannot return to amend what we have
slurred over We cannot correct mis-
takes. ill up blank spaces, erase lines
we may be ashamed of. cut out pages
unworthily filed. The irrevOcableness
of life ought alone to be motive
enough for incessant watchfulness and
diligence. Not a word we write can be
changed Nothing we do can be can
celed
Another element of seriousness in
living is the influence Of our life on
other lives. We do not pass through
the year alone. We are tied up with
others in our homes. our friendships,
our companionships, our associations,
our occupations. We are always touch
ing others and leaving impressions on
them. Human lives are like the pho
tographer's seusitized plates, receiving
upon them the image of whatever
passes before them. Our careless words
drop. and we think not where they fall.
but the Hghtest of them lodges in some
heart and leaves its blessing or its
blight. All our acts, dispositions and
moods do something in the shaping
and cOlOring of other lives
Ii is said that every word whispered
into the air starts vibrations which
will culver on and on forever. The
same is true also Of influences which
20 out from our lives in the common
EST days-they viii 90 on forever.
This should make Us most careful
what we do what we say and what
quality Of life we give TO the world
II would be sad. indeed if We should
set going unholy or hurtful influences.
If we should touch even one life un-
wholesomely. if we should speak even
a word which starts a soul toward
death--Rev- DR. J. R.. Miller

"FIRST FOOTING"
Scotch New Years Custom Was For.
merly Popular In America.

TT ONCE highly popular New
- Years custom in various parts
of our own country. but one
which is annually falling
more and more into disuse, except
in remote rural districts, is that of
young men and women, often diSguis
ed by grotesque costumes and masks,
going about from house to house on
New Years eve firing off guns, blow
ing horns, singing and partaking Of any
good cheer that may be offered them.
This is undoubtedly a modification of
the old Scottish custom of first foot

parties of men and women carrying a
great bowl or fagon of drink as well
as a plentiful supply of cakes, bread

account Of the New Year, o. to lay out
in their houses tables with lights. or to

the streets and squares. " to join in
dancing parties. then all such persons
should stand communicated and ac-

directly against the Italians, who i'm

mans by introducing dancing. singing.
