USEFUL WHEN VISITING
ROLL-UP CASE TO CARRY THE
HANDKERCHIEF.
Will Occupy Little Space in Ones Bag
cage and Is One of Those Dainty
Trifies of Which All Women
Are Fond.

This novel little case for holding
just few handkerchiefs will be found
very useful for short holiday or a
weekend visit to friends, as it can
be rolled together and will, therefore,
take up very little space in bag or
suitcase.
It is extremely simple and easy to
make, and may be carried out with al
most any prettily colored remnant of
silk or brocade. 1t is cut out in one
piece of the shape indicated in the
illustration, and is lined with soft silk
and interlined with swansdown fam
nelette, sprinkled with some sweet
smelling sachet powder and bound at
the edges with narrow ribbon
Ribbon strings, which tie across the
handkerchiefs, are sewn on at the
sides and the case and contents can be

Presently the preacher asked the

ceremony should not be performed.

Velvet and TuIle.

If you would be very, very smart in
deed, wear with, skirt of white tulle,
all in founces or standing out on a
silver wire at the bottom, a sleeveless
jacket of black velvet This jacket will
show only a suggestion of sleeve and
will in fact be more of bodice than a
jacket. There is, indeed, something
delightfully."- piquant about the COM
bination of heavy richness with airi-
ness, and it is mode particularly

Rrocade Blouses.

Pretty and useful is a little blouse
of broche silk in a dull tone of navy
with a quaint double collar of fine
white muslin edged with delicate lace
in dark blue thread. Another bro
caded silk blouse is of deep cream
with a little waistcoat of striped silk,
cream, buff and black. The waistcoat
crosses at the waist and develops into
a sash with black fringed ends, and
there is tiny raised black silk collar

TreIlis Border of Velvet

A very wearable black taffeta gown
had one of the very full, long tunic
skirts decorated with trellis border
made of velvet ribbon. The fullness
of the tunic came on the sides and
instead of being gathered into the
waist it was laid into plaits that were
neither fiat nor pressed, but stood out
stiff1y, caught to the skirt only at the
beginning and end of each plat. The
waist part was of net over white chif-
fon; the underskirt was tight, but had
a slight flare.

cured with the further ribbon strings
which are sewn on at the back for that
purpose. The lower sketch shows the
case rolled up and tied together in
the manner described.
Though the colors of he materials
are a matter of choice, this case would
look very dainty made with pale blue
silk or satin, lined with cream-col-
ored soft silk and bound with ribbon
of a color to match the latter, or it
might be carried out with silk of any
dark shade of color bound with ribbon
on color to match and lined with
white silk.

EVEN SHAVING MAY BE

A certain minister in Ohio had been
in so many unsuccessful prohibition
campaigns that he was completely
worn out and thoroughly debilitated
so he visited his family doctor and
said: Doctor, what would you rec.
ommend that | do to build myself
up and to regain my health?"
Well said the doctor, "the best
thing you can do is to take small
tumbler OF whisky each day.
THAT would be impossible" said
the minister. How can /, a prohi-
bition speaker and a worker Of the
Anti-Saloon League, so far debauch
myself as to take this drink of whis-
key you recommend"

Many Children Suffer
From Kidney Trouble

Three years ago my little girl, Ange-
la, was taken sick with scarlet fever

limbs swelled and her eyes pulfed A

time, | resolved to try it, and as it
agreed with her stomach, continued
using it with gratifying results. The
inflammation began to subsde after
she had taken the first fifty-cent bot
tie, and after she took two large bot
ties, she was pronounced cured by the
doctor and has been in good health
ever since, The doctor came to see
her every day and examined her every
second day until he pronounced her
kidneys in perfect condition.
Now then the doctor was under the
impression that | was giving my girl
his medicine, but as his medicine had
failed to do a bit of good, and desiring
not to offend him, ! did not tell him |
was giving her Swamp-Root and he
did not know the difference. | did not
use one drop of his medicine after |

POLICE CHIEF
NEEDS HELP
FOR TRAFF| F|C
coNGEsTED CONDITION OF THE
STREET is LIKELY TO RESULT
IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IF REM
EOY is NOT APPLIED.

Several owners al automobiles have
entered a vigorous protest with the
chief of police about the congestod
condition of Main street, especially
that corner at the junction of Main
and Washington streets
This has been used since the foun-
da,ion Of the city as the market place
Tor cotton and other farm products
with the result that at times, and
more especially on Saturdays is
nearly impossible for vehicles of any
kind to pass, besides, il is most
dangerous for pedestrians to cross
the streets.
This matter could be regulated by
stationing regular traffic officer in
the middle of the street, to keep
things moving to the right and when
the matter was taken to Chief Hutch
ins this morning, he stated that he
realized the condition better than any
one in the city. but that it was utter
ly impossible for him to keep a man
stationed there at all hours OF the
dag, from the fact that he was work
ing short-handed and his force had
been materially reduced by the pres
ent administration, with the result
that he had not sufficient men to
patrol the streets and maintain traf-
lic officers at the corners where they
are badly needed at present
He stated that if the Automobile
Club would present petition to the
city commissioners, asking for more
men, he thought they would be given
him, and with the added help he
would be able to grant the request,
This will probably be taken up with
the city officials at once, and deter
mine whether or not remedy can
be found, as it is absolutely dangerous
for children and old persons to at
tempt to cross the street at these
corners and can have but one re-
suit, if it Is not abated, and that Is

corner of the west half of the south
east quarter of section S-4-3, an offset
to the Ardhoma lease The sand was

a depth of 1915 feet The well had
$50 feet of sand, 100 feet of which
