Now is the time to think of new
blouses and to make them ready for
spring and summer. Already the ad-
vance models for the coming season
are shown in variety so great that it
bewilders the thrifty buyer who as
pires to making an early selection.
To go about this in the right way it is
necessary to classify each blouse &C
cording to it's character, and that is
determined by the use to which it is
to be put. The new offerings show
the shirt waist, the sport shirt, the
demidress, and the dressy blouse, and
all of them developed in any one, or
two, of a dozen materials.
Whatever the design, it may be de-
pended upon that the material is sheer
or light in weight if not transparent,
nearly always washable, whether cot
ton, linen, or silk, and that combi-
nation of two fabrics is plentifully
shown in blouses as in dresses, among
the semidress and dressy models.
High necks and low necks are almost
equally in evidence, so that there is
a choice of styles, and many dressy
blouses and a few shirt waists fasten
in the back.
Two beautiful models for dressy
wear are shown in the picture, and
they are representative styles. The
blouse at the left is made of geOrg
cite crepe in white and maize color,
and has V-shaped neck with high
turnover collar and long sleeves. The
upper part of the blouse is of the
white crepe set on to the lower part,

because mourning hats have a
lasting place in the scheme of things,
special fabrics are manufactured for
making them. Besides Grape, nuns
yelling and grenadine there are heav-
ier silks that are used for the utility
hats of mourning. Grape is often
used in the decoration of these hats
of heavier silk, and since the process
of waterproofing it has been discov-
cred it's durability rivals that of any
other silk.
Three mourning hats for street
wear are shown here. Dignified and
conservative shapes are chosen for
them, and they are made with ex-
quislte neatness and accuracy. Tucks
and folds and ornaments made of the
material are as characteristic of these
hats as of those made entirely of
Grape.
At the left of the picture sailor hat
of chiffon taffeta has brim of even
width all around, covered with the silk
put on plain, and soft top crown.
Overlapping bias folds cover the side
crown, and novel rosette of the silk
forms the trimming. It is posed
Squarely in front.
At the right a hat with a wider
brim is covered with faille silk put on
smoothly. There is a ribbon band
about the crown, and where the brim
lifts at the back bow and ends of
the same ribbon. The ornament at
the front Stimulates bird and is made
of overlapping folds of silk on a

EASTER IN HEARTS OF MEN
Chain of Witnesses to the Resurrec- ton Has Been Added to Through
 out the Centuries.

C HRIST is risen" The choirs sing o about it. The preachers proclaim it. The multitudes believe it. Does 1t seem strange that because a small group of sad-eyed, discouraged men and women, almost two thousand years ago, suddenly came to believe that a man they had loved had re- turned to life after being executed on the cross, people should still believe 1t today? Nineteen centuries Is a long time, and Palestine is far away. How is it that the belief ef the first Chris tians has laid hold upon us?
 It is not enough to explain it as an old tradition. handed down from gen. eration to generation. If the experi- ence of the apostles and the three Marys and the five hundred brethren to whom he made himself known were the only reason for keeping Easter, 1t is not probable that Easter would still be kept. Faith that is only handed on does not survive as this faith has survived. There must be another req son.
 The other reason Is that there never has been an age since the first Chris tian age until now when there were not among the people of the earth those to whom Christ had become liv- ing person. The healing of the seam less dress has been by beds Of pain. In the midst of the storm and the stress of life, despairing men and women have reached out to touch him, and they have touched him and been made whole again Martyrs, stretched on the agonizing rack, have heard him. Other martyrs, bound among the burn- ing fagots. have seen him in the ire. Tempted men have sought him in the hour of their temptation, and his arm has sustained them Such as they do not need to be told that long ago, on a Sunday morning in the spring, the graye released him. They know that he Is released, for he has become the aFing power of their lives.
 When the eleven, after the tragic death of Judas, chose twelfth apostle, they did so that he might become a witness with. them of the resurrection. Since then, from all nations and tribes, great company whom God alone can number has been added to the chain or witnesses. Daily their number IS increased. Easter is Easter, not be- cause Jesus rose long ago, but be- cause Jesus still lives, and because there are among us those who know that he lives.-Youth's Companion.

A HAPPY DREAM
HAS COME TRUE
Sufferers from Stomach Trou.
bles Have Discovered a Relief.

To be a sufferer from stomach trouble
for years and bear all the torments that
this all too common ailment causes, and
then to be benefited most over night, is
like having happy dream come true.
This has been the pleasant experience
of thousands of former sufferers of this
dreaded malady, who have taken Tan
lac, the new reconstructive tonic, which
aids nature to restore the stomach to the
habit of doing full days WORK and do
ing 1t well.
The present day mode of living has
raised havoc with stomachs A tired,
overworked stomach or kidneys, abused
BY too much or too hastily eaten food,
and our other faulty methods Of living,
cause an endless number of ailments
among them being liver complaint, kid
ney trouble, catarrhal affections, dys-
pepsia, nervous breakdown, lost ambi-
ton and blood troubles.
People so affected, and there are
thousands of them in cities like Clover
port, are loggy and nervous and easily
tired They are worn out after a little
exeftion, and are moody and depressed.
These are sure symptoms of overworked
vital organs, which need cleansing out
and regulating. 1t is for just these con-
ditions that Tanlac has proven beneficial.
Men and women in all walks of life
are daily acknowledging the benefits de-
rived from this Master Medicine Tan
lac has become household word every
where it has been introduced Its
records for sales has by far excelled those
of any other proprietary preparation ever
known in the annals of medicine Its
success is based on merit alon- Its
best advertiser is the former sufferer
who has been relieved. The laboratories
are working day and night to supply the
great demand which has been created by
Tanlac throughout the country. Its in
slant leap into popularity in this section
has been marvellous
Nervous, tired out, rundown men and
women, or those suffering from stomach,
kidney, liver, intestinal or catarrhal
troubles should visit Weddings Drug

constructive tonic and the results that
