The crisp days of autumn spur women up to the consideration of their needs. or desires, in furs, and the fur riers' shop is soon caught in it's an- nual whirlwind of business. In order to anticipate the rush, the stores and shops show advance models in August and advertise special values. A good many sales are made then. but not enough to relieve the pressure later. But styles become established. at any rate. and certain furs become leaders, quite often making a quick advance in price.
 For the present season all furs are fashionable. Skunk or martin stands close to the head. with mink in the same class. Opossum fur, especially as a trimming, has sprung into a sud den vogue; fox of every variety is selling freely and good Hudson seal brings higher price than ever.
 Martin and mink are among the hard furs. That is. they will wear longer than many others, and they bring a higher price than the less durable, or soft" furs. But this is not an invariable rule, for certain rare

DETERMINE AClDITY OF SOIL
Simple and Fairly Reliable Test Can Be Made by Applying Piece of
 Blue Litmus Paper.

tBy w. R. DODSON. Louisiana Expert
 ment Stadon)
 If white clover, or any of the clov- CTS naturally thrive on the soil, it is apt to be an indication that the soil is not acid. There are certain plants that are naturally inclined to thrive on acid soil. For instance, the pres. ence of blackberry bushes as a nat ural growth would indicate that the soil was probably acid, as blackberries thrive in acid soil. A growth of sor- rel indicates an acid soil Soils that become earpeted in winter with mosslike hedge are generally acid If cultivated lands produce good COW. peas, clovers and legumes in general. it is an indication that the soil is not acid.
 simple and fairly reliable test that can be made is to get piece of blue litmus paper and press it against the moist soil. If in a few minutes it turns red, it indicates that the soil is acid This is not an absolute test, but is reliable enough for all practical pur. poses. If the soil is acid. it should have lime added.

 Muffs are worn in several sizes. but fashion clings to the larger ones. They are round or barrel-shaped and few fancy shapes and patterns have been introduced.
 A fine set of mink is shown in the picture It is a conservative design, as 1t should be in such choice furs, for fine furs are somewhat independ- ent of the whims of fashion.

WHY "ANURIC'' IS AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH Sufferers from BaCkache, Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

The urine is often cloudy, full of sediment; channels often get sore and sleep is disturbed two or three times a night. This is the time you should consult some physician of wide experience-sucha as Dr. Pierce, of the lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo. N Y.

Dry very gently, spread on thin layer of the resinol ointment, and cover with a light bandage-if necessary to protect the clothing. This should be done twice day.
