PRETTY STYLES IN Lingerie
FIounces and FriIIs in Profusion on
Petticoats-SiIk Underwear Is
Given Decided Preference.

While radical changes in lingerie
do not occur as frequently as in the
outer garments Of ones apparel. a
change in fashion can be traced in the
undergarments to some extent For in
stance, petticoats are abloom with
fiounces and frills where but a short
time ago they did not even exist. There
for admiration. Picture a skirt Of
soft black taffeta with a wide ruffie of
black chantilly lace. Under this is an
accordion-plaited flounce of flesh pink
chiffon to show off the beautiful pat
tern Of the lace. Another petticoat for
evening wear is entirely of white net
with quillings of the same edging
square tabs. Inserts of lowered chif-
fon in diamond shape are edged with
ruffles of the net
There is a decided preference for
silk in underwear. Lovely hand en-
broidery is seen on chemises, silk
vests and union suits even of flesh
colored crepe de chine or the pussy
willow taffeta. The silk underwear,
while apparently luxury. justifies the
initial expense by its long life and
beautiful laundering.
Among the night robes there are
beautiful models of taffeta, crepe de
chine and a soft washable satin. Fagot-
ing. hemstitching. picoting and some
embroidery trim these gowns. There
is marked absence of lace and frills,
which makes even a plain silk gown
not such an expense after all. Many
gowns are sleeveless. showing hand
kerchief" top caught on the shoulders
in some instances. A pocket is a style
note and a practical addition as well
on ones silk gown. Quite attractive
gowns of soft pink batiste are finished
with feather-stitching or shocking.

REDUCE THE INTEREST RATE
Numerous Plans for Accomplishing
This by State and Private Aid
Have Been Advanced.

The farmer. like every other bust
ness man. should reduce the interest
rate paid on his borrowed capital to
the lowest possible point" says Dean
+. B. Mumford of the Missouri college
OF agriculture. Numerous plans for
accomplishing this by state and private
aid have been advanced. but many Of
them are emitting the Torrens and
similar systems of land title registra-
ton which will reduce the expense Of
obtaining land mortgage loans. After
all possible help has been secured by
other means, Their, will still be the
possibility of obtaining further relief
by this system IL it has not been
adopted.
Either the system mentioned by
Dean Mumford, or some similar sys-
tenn, is In use in Germany, Austria
and France; SO they can be said to
agree on this point. whether on others
or not. Under these systems. the ex-
pense OF abstract of title and of the

corder's fee is paid and there should

Every land owner would be practic-
ally In the position of holding an orig
inal patent from the government, and
there would be no possibility that he
would lo-~ his title through any ear
lier faulty transfer as in case of fail
ure to secure the proper written con-
sent OF the heirs of the estate. In
case the government has made a mis-
take which deprives the heirs or 9TH
ers OF land which righ- fully belongs
to them. 1t makes good the loss from

IN Australia. where the Torrens sys-

about one-f1fth of one per cent Of the
value Of the land has taken care Of
this part of the work In other words,
1t would seem that mistakes were
made which necessitated such a pay
ment for about one for every 500
farms registered. Naturally, there
will be fewer compensations Of this
kind to be paid after the system has
been thoroughly established than at
the first. and the system can be es-
tablished more readily in such new
countries as Canada which has it Just

PAY ATTENTION TO MARKETS
Cooperation Is Something That Makes
Marketing Unsatisfactory When
1t Is Not Applied.

II cannot be too often emphasized
that profitable marketing means CO.

illustrations that came to our atten-

Alabama neighborhood some time ago
farmers became interested in growing
better live stock and took up hog rails
Ing. But because they gave no atten-
ton to the marketing end they crowd
ed their little market town with 600
hogs, whereas 1t had previously been
absorbing probably not more than a
hundred. with the result that a large
proportion of the hogs were sold at
two ard one-Salf to three and one-half

Keep your kidneys clean like you keep

stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function Of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and

the vital importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots OF water-you can't drink

take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made

neutralize the acids in urine so it no
