Some Forms of Rheumatism Durable
Rheumatism is a disease charact-
erized by pains IN the joints and in
the muscles, The most common
forms are: Acute and Chronic Rheu-

to the affected part will give instant
relief Sloan's Linimen is good for
pain, and especially Rheumatic Pain,

THOSE who journey south to meet
] the spring, with heads bedecked
in her honor, have a remarkably wide
range Of choice in the new millinery.
In shape there are the diminutive pill
box" the numerous boat-shaped tur-
bans, all sorts and kinds Of sailors,
many military styles. and lovely wide
brimmed hats in lacy straws and d.
aphanous materials.
AS for trimmings. there are many
new departures. All sorts of gayly-
colored flowers (mostly smalD. a world
Of new ornaments OF ribbons mostly
narrow, and innumerable handmade
decorations OF silk, straw, kid, feath-
ere and other things.
Handwork is featured in this new
millinery. Ornamental stitches in
needlework. much exaggerated in size.
In finishing and applying trimming.
In fact, a large part OF the decora-
tions are sewed fat to the shape in
the form of applique, the sewing being
an important part of the scheme.
In colors, beside the beautiful sand,
Irvine, and tan colors, there are many
white hats, including panamas, a gray
which is called "battleship" gray,
without any good reason. and many
shades OF blue and red that may be
called reserved" Black seems not
to be In the running.
Three of the smaller hats are shown
in the picture. At the left is a narrow
brimmed sailor Of white satin. 1t is
carefully made and distinguished by
q trimming Of small chrysanthemums
cut from white kid, and stems made
of kid also.
A dark gray hat Of satin belongs
among the boat-shaped models and is
trimmed with short peacock feathers
and leaf-shaped pieces Of velvet sewed
fat to the shape with the heavy
black embroidery silk. The buttonhole
stitch outlines the leaves, and the
leaves overlap the edges Of the pea
cock feathers holding them to place.
