NO REASON FOR 1T
You Are Shown a Way Out.

There can be no reason why any
reader of this who suffers the tortures
of an aching back, the annoyance of
urinary disorders, the pains and dan
gers of kidney ills will fail to heed
the word of one who has used Doan's
Kidney Pills and has found relief.
The following is convincing proof:
Henry Kimble, retired farmer, Lee
lanan ST., Frankfort, Mich, says:
Kidney trouble in my case was
brought on by over work. At times
l could hardly endure the pain in my
back and hips. 1t was all | could do

Gates, now IN government service at
Manila, will teach botany, at the
University Biological Station.
The Board of Regents will intro
duce a bill in the present legislature
asking for an appropriation of $780,
600 with which to make such needed
additions to the library building and
to erect model training school for
teachers. This school, if provided,
will be administered by the depart
ment of education in the interest of
the professional training of teach
ers. School superintendent through
out the state have long been adNo-
eating the need of such a school.
They have contended that the grad
yates of the university who take up
the profession Of teaching are at
present seriously handicapped by
their lack of technical training as
teachers. The movement in favor of
this school has been fostered by the
State Board of Education and the
normal schools, as well as by the adj
ministrative officers of the high
schools throughout the state. 1t has
come to be a fixed policy in many
schools that only technically-trained
teachers shall be employed While
prepared accidentally to teach the
higher branches in the schools,
Michigan graduates have frequently
failed to secure appointments simply
because they could offer no evidence
Of ability to teach. AS consequence
many excellent positions have been
filled by graduates from other uni
versities, which maintain a practice
school for prospective teachers. The
normal schools now prepare grade
teachers, while the university sup
plies teachers for the high schools.
President Emeritus James b. An
CELL celebrated his Seth birthday on

ested in the affairs of the university.

Government Now i'm a Position to
Reimburse Stock Owners
Promptly for all Slaugh-
tered Herds.

Washington, ID. C.-Under the re-
cent urgent deficiency act which was
Vigned by the president on January
70, $2,500,000 is now available for
the eradication of the foot-and-
mouth disease. Up to January 1,
1915, the outbreak had cost the fed
eral government a total of $2,129,-
1904. OF this sum $3.50, 328.99
represents the federal governments
share Of the expense of slaughter
ing affected herds and reimbursing
the 4Ayners for their loss, of which
thGatvernment pays half and the
individual states the remainder. The
figures show that exclusive of the
work in January 101,176 animals
have been slaughtered. OF these
1925 were cattle, 47,735 swine, and
the remainder sheep and goats.
The money now at the disposal of
the Department of Agriculture, will,
it is believed, aid the campaign
against the pestilence by enabling
the government to make prompt
payment to all owners of infected
heads and thus minimize the
luctance Of farmers to have their
stock slaughtered. In Illinois, for ex-
ample, approximately 100000 is
now available for this purpose. The

veterinarian says: "Scouters in
Michigan for war horses are finding
but few. Their hunt in this state
for the kind of horses they desire
will be practically fruitless. 1t is a
lamentable fact that Michigan does
not even raise horses enough for its
own use, although this state has ev-
cry natural convenience for horse
breeding. But last year, statistics
show, we imported from other states
over $1,000,000 worth of draft
horses. The city of Grand Rapids
alone imported and sold over 1000
horses"

FEMININE FANCIES
Drinks for Hot Weather.

The first warm days are apt to bring
with them a loss of appetite and an
increase of thirst. So cool drinks
served with luncheon, or in place of
afternoon tea, are very acceptable.
However, it is often difficult to think
of variety of soft drinks, and one
cold tea and lemonade. Here are a
few suggestions to help out the house
keeper
A ginger ale and cold tea punch is
la novel drink that is very good.
Sweeten half a pitcher of cold tea, add
the juice of a lemon and several
sprigs of mint. Keep on ice. and at
the last minute pour in a bottle of
ginger ale. This should not stand before
serving, as the ginger ale will lose it's
sparkle A rather strong and not too
sweet ginger ale should be used for this
punch.
Iced cafe au lait is the best drink
to serve if the luncheon is very light
and a little extra nourishment is wanted
To make it properly-and it seldom is
made properly-it should be carefully
blended, mixing the coffee and milk well
together and sweetening to taste. 1t is
better, if possible to use a sugar sirup
to sweeten it. Stand on the ice until
ready to serve, and then add a little thick
cream to each glass and enough cracked
ice to fill the glass. For the sweeter
varieties of soft drinks, milk shakes
and fruit sirups may be used
To make milk shake fill a glass two
thirds full of milk sweeten it to taste
with any fruit sirup or with Il little of
some strained preserve if you have not
the sirup. Fill the glass with cracked
ice and shake together until well mixed.
Fruit sirups can be made from straw
berries, raspberres, cherries or currants.
Cook a quart of fruit with a pint of
water until well softened, then strain
and press out the juice through heavy
cloth. When cold, sweeten and dilute to
taste, and serve in tall glasses filled with
cracked ice.

against the skirt. The upper edge of
the sash stands away from the skirt at
the right side, and for that reason
material like taffeta, with sufficient
body. will be most successful in the
development Of this design.
The frock of which 1t is a part is
quite unassuming but modish in it's
very simplicity. The blouse is gathered
about a roundabout neck, then finished
with narrow pleated ruff1ing of self
material. An inside high collar of fine
batiste adds the necessary touch of
white. The ruff1ing is the only trim
ming used on the frock and is seen
again at the sleeve ends, extended part
way up the outside of the arm, and
outlining a vertical slash cut up to the
bust line at either side of the blouse.
The blouse and skirt both being
gathered. are joined with a cord at
the waist Vine, but an inside betting
will give the needed f1rmness. The
skirt is cut by a circular pattern and
gathered slightly arohnd the top.
II copenhagen blue taffeta is used for
this design, a splendid effect can be
achieved through the use of rose-coral
taffeta to line the sash and face the skirt
with Green. chamois color, or figured
taffetas might also be effectively used, or
any other combination of colors since
the vogue for contrasting skirt facings
and Innings Is SO pronounced. Cloud gray,
with facings Of nile green, is another sug-
gesion for a lovely color combination
that may be applied to the illustrated
model.

Laundering Corduroy.

Experienced housekeepers often are
puzzled when facing the task of wash
ing garments of certain materials for
the first time. Corduroy furnishes a
case in point. This was worn a great
deal last year. and complaints were
common as to it's laundering. In nine
cases out of ten the laundress was to
blame.
This year corduroy appears to be
more popular than ever. 1t is used in
making skirts, babies coats, small
boys suits, girls wraps and MILDLY
blouses Try the following method in
the laundry:
Make warm suds with good white
soap. In this soak for half an hour
the goods to be washed. Squeeze out,
but do not wiring; then put into tub
of clean, warm suds. Wash until quite
clean, and squeeze as before: put into
a tub with one tablespoon of borax,
pour on boiling water, and let stand
for ten minutes, moving the goods oc-
casionally with a stick.
Add sufficient cold water to cool,
squeeze out again and put into tub Of
cold rinsing water Lift from this by
the top of the garment and allow to
drain. Next give the garment Wig

Linens of the Season.

1t is an easy thing to say each season
that never before were linens so beau
tiful. For the statement is always
true. Never before have household lin
ems been SO beautiful-from the pres
ent-day point of view.
Filet lace is still lavishly used with
linen for tablecloths. scarfs for serv-
ing tables and sideboards and for bed
spreads. There is nothing especially
new in the way 1t is used. It Is so
lovely. in any form, that 1t needs no
excuse of novelty.
The same thing is true Of the heavy
damask table linen. There are a few
new patterns, but the standard stripes
and snowdrop patterns are still in good
style. bordered with floral design or
conventional arrangement of lines
and curves. The tablecloth with the
plain center and the figured border, too.
IL still in fashion.
1t is in the smaller pieces Of table
linen that there are novelties.
For one thing, japanese runners can
now be had in almost all colors. Even
the craze for black and white may be
satisfied, for there is a cream runner
figured. in a sepia SO deep that 1t is
luncheon or breakfast china 1t would
make a striking effect.
For the summer cottage the bungalow
sets Of cretonne, bound with colored
braid or scalloped with colored cotton.
are decidedly appropriate for breakfast
or luncheon. These. too. may be had
in black and white. and there are many
interesting ones made of cretonne with
a black background and colored figures
A charming tea set consists of small
cloth to spread over the tea table, en-
broidered with cross-stitch teapots, and
small napkins to match embroidered
each with a teacup. Then there are re-
freshment sets for the card party,
which show playing cards embroidered
on both the small cloth and the nap
kins.
The diamond-shaped monogram Is
still considered the smartest, perhaps.
although single letters. or initials in a
straight line, varying in size according
to the size of the piece Of linen they
embellish, are still used.
