Small Touches Lift ChiIdren's Cloth
ing Out of the Domain of Things
That Are Ordinary.

Sometimes Is 1t just the small touch
that is different which will lift the
embroidered frock or jumper suit out
of the ordinary class. 1t Is well to
keep ones eyes open for just such de-
tails and then make good use of them
on the frock or jumper in the sewing
bag.
A little girls dress made in q long.
wasted style has peplum with seal
loped outline put on at the long waist.
The peplum falls downward at the
sides, but at the front and back 1t is
held upward in bib fashion, after be-
ing split and buttonholed, and the
ribbon sash passes through these two
tabs. Crocheted buttons hold the front
and back sections in place.

HORSES FINDING MOST FAVOR
Production Of Too Many Gen.
eral Purpose Animals.

The farmer who seeks to find favor
among the horse buyers Of today must
produce an animal that is especially
adapted to some particular kind Of
work. He must be a special-purpose
horse, must possess the ability to do
some one kind Of work so exception
ally well, by reason of his conforma-
ton, that he is out of place at any
thing else.
Perhaps the greatest weakness in
the horse-breeding industry Is the pro-
duction Of too many general purpose
horses. This kind of animal, while
not especially adapted to any one kind
Of work, will do fairly we'll almost any
kind of work, yet from the market
standpoint he is not profitable ami
NAL to breed. The special-purpose
animal, while not costing any more to
feed and raise, will sell in most cases
for much higher price.

Boys Become Scarce.

For the first time in more than 20
years the Children's Aid society of
New York is unable to furnish enough
boys to families who want either to
adopt them or care for them until the
boys become of age. The reason for
this is the campaign for military pre-
paredness and the great demand for
workers in war munition factories.
Almost every day letters come to
the society headquarters asking for
boys who have been trained at its farm
school.
Last month Al of the sOciety's boys,
sixteen to twenty-one years old, en-
listed in the army and navy service
for boys. The munition factories take
a large number Of the older boys.

DRUGGIST TOOK A 'CHANCE
Youngster Seeking Toothpaste Knew
Only That He Was "Mamma's

The other day a bareheaded little

four years old, went into the drug

said to the prOprietOr: Il want ~

Mr.. Whitney had wrapped up the pack

said, Charge this to mamma"
'Whose boy are you?" asked the BAT

the yOungster.
"Why, I'm mammals boy" said he
and could not be induced to tell hi
name.
Il thought I'd take a chance on tn
kid, anyway" said Whitney, in rela

that no boy Of that age would ask f(

After you've been two weeks in the

men that ask their wives to be sure
to wipe between the tines of the forks,

with sweetened whipped cream and
surround with any fresh, well-sugared
berries in their season, or muskmelOn,

tractive and appetizing combination.
If cottage pudding is served, bake
a layer or two in Jelly cake tin and
have it with a rich filling for a cake
to serve with little dish Of fruit for
dessert the following day. Or if the
pudding itself Is left, drop the pieces
in a paper and reheat or steam in
steamer and serve with a custard
sauce.
Leftover baked custards may be
carefully dipped into sherbet cups, a
layer of nuts or fruit between, and
garnish with cooked egg, white or
whipped cream. COrnstarch pudding
or rice may be served In the same way.

especially for kidney complaints and
diseases arising from disorders of the
kidneys and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con-
gestion of the kidneys, Inflammation
of the bladder, scalding urine and

ing these troubles, and in most cases
absolutely curing the diseased kidneys.
Patients having once used rAnuric "

peatedly sent back for more. Such a
demand has been created that DR.. Pierce

form. If not obtainable send one dime

Because the time is ripe, the age is

Because the world her woman's help
demands,
Out of her long subsection and se-
clusion,
Come to her field of warfare and
confusion
The mothers heart and hands.
Long has she stood aside, endured and
waited,
While man swung forward, toiling
on alone,
Now for the weary man, so long
ill-mated,
Now for the world for which she
was created,
Comes woman to her own.
Not for herself, though sweet the air
of freedom,
Not for herself, though dear the
newborn power,
But for the child, who needs a
noble mother,
For the whole people needing one
another,
Comes woman to her hour.
She walketh yelled and sleeping
For she knoweth not her power,
She obeyeth but the pleading,
OF her heart, and the high leading
OF her soul, unto this hour,
Slow advancing, hating, creeping,
Comes the woman to her hour.
She walketh yelled and sleeping
For she knoweth not her power.
