I haven't fin ished by jugfull; I've only just com menced; want you to tell me that you'll be here on Thanksgiving Day and go to church with the children and me and come home and eat a peaceable, quIet, Thanksgiving dinner; why MT.

Could you go away in the face Of all the preparations I've made for Thank sgiving Day and enjoy yourself with a lot of old whisky soaked, tobacco smelling men?"

FLUSH KIDNEYS WITH SALTS F
 BACK IS ACHING Noted authority says we eat too much meat, which
 clogs Kidneys Take glass of Salts when Kid neys hurt or Bladder
 bothers you

No man or woman who eats meat regu- larly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood. then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism. headaches, liver trouble. nervousness. dizziness. sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive. full of sedi- ment irregular of passage or attended by sensation of scalding. stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon full in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys. also to neutralize the acids in urine so 1t no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts Is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure. thereby avoiding serious kidney compiler tions.-Adv.

Surely you will like this jumper of serge which is so sim ply cut. deep U-shaped front with large armholes which help shape the shoulder straps and a plain back which extends below the waist and may or may not be scanned under the arm according to the degree of shapeliness you wish at the waistline, are cut from a remnant of serge. The waistline should fit loosely. The underarm pieces which are appar- ently continuation of the back. are join- ed at the belt with black satin ribbon run through two jet buckles. The edges of the Jumper are here finished with soutache braid. They may, however. be tailor stitched or outlined in the Wind- sor stitch with wool thread. Four but tons and four sham buttonholes made of soutache braid ornament the front of the blouse. Two similar buttons and buttonholes finish the sleeves of char mouse, which. together with the under arm sections. are made from the old waise of charmeuse.
 The little vestee and collar are of white georgette crepe. A serpentine design in white soutache braid marks the front of the vest, which slips under the jumper where 1t is fastened with hooks or snaps

DRESS FOR SCHOOLGIRL

The misses dress of bottle green serge is made over from an adults suit A front panel Is set in the front of the waist to do away with the old coat closing. and the back is similarly stitched to represent a straight panel. The blouse is tailor stitched around all edges and buttons on the shoulder and under the arm with black buttons. A double belt confines the fullness at the waist The skirt Is plainly gored like the original suit, being merely cut down and turned up to the right size and length. A linen waist with tucked skirt front made very similar to an ordi- nary shirt waist, is worn under this dress. A serge blouse of plain color may be used in combination with a plaid skirt. Sew eral guimpes made of dimity. linen, or cotton poplin will provide the necessary changes for a schoolgirl A small black taffeta or Windsor tie in green or black completes practical and pretty garment. The straight, loose lines of the blouse are particularly becoming to the .'awl- ward age" when girls seem too old for childrens clothes and too young for wom- ems clothes. A girl who is simply dressed Is In much better style than the over dressed miss, too immature to discrimi- nate. Young girls should appreciate the fact that youth possesses a charm all It's own. which Is apt to disappear rapidly under the idea of dressing up.'

 To the old skirt is added a shapei founce of blue serge. finished like the jumper with soutache braid. This fiounce may be cut gored or slightly circular. Three jet buttons and blind buttonholes of soutache appear to fasten their fiounce to the upper portion of the skirt. This model Is in very good style and will prove becoming to either slender or stout figures.

"1sARE1. cARIETON,s YEAR"

By Margaret Ashmur. Illustrated. The
 Macmillan Co, publishers. New York.
 Isabel Carleton's senior year in hiSh school is a very full year. Here 1t IS all described--the parties the picnics, the friendships, the sacrifices, the triumphs. From the time when as Special favor" she is permitted to go to the Frat Tea" to that glorious moment when the trip to Europe following graduation becomes wonderful reality, Isabels days are crowded with excitement and happiness --shadowed only once by something which comes very near to the tragic but is fortunately averted. Professor Carle- ton, absorbed in his work but fond of his children, his wife, who is Isabels close friend and a wise one, Isabel's sis- ters and lively crowd of young folks with Isabel, of course, always in the center-these are the people of most engaging and satisfying story

 In a .Preface' to his splendid work, Mcclellan" the author. James Halevlock Campbell says:
 ..The purpose of this book is to set forth clearly the services of General Me Clellan in the Civil war. Only a brief sketch of his earlier and later life is here given More has been written about this subject than about any other within the realm of war except the campaigns or Napoleon; and comparison of what has been written with the facts will show that never before was any, subject so little understood by those who undertook to discuss it. From what has been said by the majority of these authors one would conclude that Mcclellan was wholly de- void of military capacity. Yet General Lee, the most renowned leader of the south, emphatically proclaimed McClel- lau the ablest northern general Of the war; and von Moltke the foremost chief tain of the nineteenth century, asserted that the war would have ended two years earlier than it did, if Mcclellan had been roperly supported by the government. It most interesting and potent fact that life of 59 years only 10 months covers he whole period to which criticism has yer been directed; yet this same 10 months has justly received rom many unbiased writers greater praise than any ther period of his life. Certain facts hitherto ignored or insufficiently appre- cated are iterated and reiterated for purpose; but not often enough I fear in many instances, to penetrate the im- pervious armor of prejudice

 By Leslie W. Quirk. Illustrations by Henry S. Watson. Little, Brown and company, publishers
 The fourth volume in the Wellworth College series, Ice Boat Number One" is story of winter sports and pastimes, ranging from contests on skates and s1eds and skis and snow shoes to the eliminating game of ice boat polo, as played on a glassy field two miles in legnth. The plot centers about the efforts of Penny Wayne and his friends to promote harmony between two warning colleges appar- ently intent upon destroying the ath- letic conference or league known as the Big Nine" In Ihe course of the story, mysterious treasure chest comes to light and plunges it's dis coverers and guardians into many eX- citing adventures. This finally be- comes a prize trophy in the three cornered winter tournament.
 There is nothing namby-pamby about this story for boys under IA and upwards.

WORKMANSHIP IN WORDS" By James P. Kelley. Little, Brown

Co.,, publishers. Boston.
 "An appalling increase every day in slipshod writing that would not have been tolerated for one moment 100 years ago.. These words are from Thomas Hardy; the condition which they depict is the reason for the appearance of this new book. In the authors own words: If we live in tho world, We must use words If we choose, we may use them well; nor need the pursuit of fitness and force in the use of words be irksome drudgery." The hook is everywhere helpful and nowhere dull. Illustrations of usages to avoid are chosen from the greatest writers, many of them from living writers, which fact adds to the picturesqueness and vitality of the work The treatment deals with every matter of form and discourse as
