Blackfoot people should know that
few doses Of simple buckthorn bark,

often relieve or prevent appendicitis.
This simple mixture removes such sur

Navy Blue Serge for Autumn.

The dark blue serge dress for au-
tumn is ubiquitous, and when it is not
trimmed with colored beads or en-
broidery it is the exception. Some of
the beaded and embroidered designs are
quite elaborate, but in others it is just
a simple touch here and there that
gives character to a dress and furnishes
the correct spot of color.

cite.

There are some Paris houses which have
gone to the other extreme, however, and
have made dresses with skirts that reach
the floor, but the majority of them have
struck happy medium, and it is not at
all likely that the days of training
skirts will come back again. Dresses,
too, are free from that extravaganza
flare which characterized them before,
and for the attainment of which we of
ten had to resort to artificial means.
This season the flare is conspicuous
for its absence, one might say, for most
of the dresses hang in straight, soft
folds. Nothing has been taken from
the width of the skirts. They are just
as ample, and the skirt that measures
from three to three and a half yards
around the hem is still considered ;

Straight Lines Favored.

Although the straight effects pre-
dominate in the more practical styles,
in afternoon and evening dresses there
are sole soft draperies to be seen. APP
ron effects, too, in the form of soft
pleated or gathered bits of the mate
rial, hang loosely in front of some of
| the dresses.
| The waistline in the new fashions is
generally in the normal position where
nature meant them to be, but it will
probably not be stationed there for any
length of time. There have been not a
few examples of the low waist of the
Moyen Age and this seems to be gain
ing popular favor at a great rate. A
good many one-piece dresses are made
with the skirt attached at low waist
line, and girdle is either tied loosel,

Officials connected with the congress
say that DR.. Santander. who has con-
tributed to several of the discussions

spirit. So far as the records of the

declaration was made with a view to
clearing up any misunderstanding re-
specting his intentions which may exist

Government Ownership of

Government ownership and control of
all radio stations in the United States,
South and Central America was advo-
Gated by Secretary Daniels OF the Navy
yesterday in addressing delegates to
the Pan-American Scientific Congress,
representing twenty American repub-
lies. who gathered at the State Depart
ment for an informal discussion on
wireless communication. The delegates
were practically unanimous in approv-
ing the Secretary's plan. and agreed to
submit TIE matter to their respective
governments for consideration.
Mr.. Daniels suggested that the visI-
tors take up with their governments
the question OF granting concessions
or wireless communication between the
American nations. He said that where
the governments were found to object
to ownership and control of wireless,
they would be asked to establish
supervision that would. In time Of
emergency, place every radio station
under IL central authority, to be reRu-
