A trim and interestingly practical suit, meant to fill the needs of the schoolgirl, proclaims itself an Ameri' can design made for an American girl. Without a furbelow of any de- scription, it is made of a cravenetted wool fabric, firm as to weave and fair. ly light as to weight. The skirt is full and f1aring, but it achieves these desirable traits without plaits of any kind, by means of Tapped seams and shaped gores. It is finished with three-inch hem and appears longer in the picture than it need be. Shoe-top length would mean additional style.
 The smart coat is held in to the fig ure by belt of the material, and has a fiaring and pointed peplum. Ma chine stitching, irreproachable as to neatness and accuracy of line, ehnpha- sizes it's value as a finish, because there is no ornamentation to distract the attention from it. There is a French collar at the neck, which but tons close up about it, under the chin. Three buttons at the top of the coat continue a row begun by two on the collar, and three smaller buttons. of the same kind, are placed on the back of the sleeves near the hand.
 The belt fastening is ingenious and betrays that careful thought was given to every detail of the suit. At each end the belt is extended into tongue

JAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
 KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid Which Clogs the Kidneys and
 irritates the Bladder.

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clog. ged and need flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe head aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver. acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com. bined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu- tralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes delightful effervescent lithia, water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean, thus avoiding serious com plications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who be- Aeve in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.-Adv.

A lovely gown of black net, with hounces bordered with corded or banded taffeta, is distinguished by much originality. Several novel ideas appear in its finishing which might be used on gowns made of any of the sheer fabrics that add so much to the midsummer wardrobe.
 The model is made over a slip of black taffeta with plain skirt and low bodice, which serves as a foundation and support for the net overdress. This has two fiounces, one overlap ping the other, headed by two puffs which form shorter, doubled fiounces, about the hips.
 The net bodice is shirred on to a narrow band at the round neck with a row of four small shirred tucks, form ing soft and pretty finish It is cut in one with the full sleeves
 The sleeve is elbow length and fin ished with four rows of baby velvet ribbon. By gathering in the fullness at two places about the upper arm two puffs are formed, corresponding with those at the top of the skirt Little rosettes of baby velvet ribbon with hanging ends are mounted at the back of the neck and at the back of each sleeve.
 An emplacement of taffeta with lace overlay across the top and bottom ap- pears at the back and front of the bodice, forming little blouse with a

These tongues carry a buttonhole. A slit in the belt at the right side is buttonhole stitched, and the tongue on the left side of the belt thrust through it, buttoning over high com position buttons that match up well with the suit.
 A small breast pocket might find a place in the coat, for the sake of con venience. The suit suggests the mili- tary modes, and one suspects it's crea- tor of gentle irony inasnuch as he has designed for the schoolgirl a suit with no foolishness about 1t.

 Striped ribbons or silks are used with georgette crepe for afternoon gowns in banded effects. In these the upper part of the skirt is made of the crepe and at the knee, or little above, the banded silk is set on to form the lower part of the skirt. The bodice is usually made of the crepe with the banded silk used in some sort of over irapery and in the cuffs.

FAIR SEX IN THE MAJORITY
Preachers Offer to Marry Persons Brought an Altogether Unlocked
 For Response.

Some of the visiting ministers have told some good stories about one an other during the Laymen's Missionary Movement convention here, says the San Diego Union. This is one that was handed" to Rev. Hugh L. Burle- son:
 A young couple came into his rooms just as he was going to begin service in the church and asked him to marry them. He said if they would wait until after the service he would give them public wedding.
 After the benediction he announced: Nov, will those persons wishing to be married please come forward" It is recorded in the story that eleven women and one man answered to the call.
 An offset to that story is one told by Dr. Alonzo R. Petty of a woman who was before a judge asking for a di- vorce. The judge leaned over the desk and said to the woman:
 Madam, how long did you know this man before you were married?"
 "Your honor," she said, "I was ac- quainted with him for eighteen months, but I never really knew him until asked him for a dollar"

Seals Like United States.

There are in existence only two inn portant herds of fur seals, one of which has it's breeding grounds in the Commander islands. belonging to Rus sia, the other in the Pribilof islands, belonging to the United States. O1 these the latter is much the larger. The Pribilof islands are government property, and thus it happens that the United States government finds Itself the owner of by far the most valuable herd of fur seals in the world. This unique bit of property has been a source of much tribula- hon-as everybody knows.

I moved to Saskatche- wan, and located near Briercrest in the spring of 1912. bought a half section of land. I have good neigh bors. I feel quite at home here the same as in Iowa. We have perfect safety and no trouble in living up to the laws in force. My taxes are about $65 a year on the half section for ev- erything. I have had splendid crops. Wheat in 1915 yielded me over 5O bushels to the acre. That is more than I have ever had in Iowa, and yet the land there costs four times as much as it does here.

An anemic elderly woman, who looked as if she might have as much maternal affection as an incubator, sized up a broad-shouldered cockney who was idly looking into a window on the Strand, and in rasping voice said to him:

 Turning around slowly, he looked at her a second and replied contemptu- ously: Move on, you stacker! Where's your war baby!"-

Just see me being here one year and have over 700 bushels of wheat. It is now over $1.00 per bushel. Oats is AZ cents, and go- ing up. You told me the truth, and want the people of Toledo to know it. Hogs are SA cents; cattle are high. Canada is good enough for me. have good horses. I sold 2 good colts, COWS and IS head of hogs and killed 2. I have hogs left. I got 400 bushels of potatoes off an acre and good garden last summer, fine celery and good onions. One neighbor had over 1900 bushels of wheat, and sold over $70O of hogs and 2,000 bushels of oats. This is a great country. If you should tell the people of Toledo of this it would get some of them thinking. The soil is rich black loam, and pleas lure to work it.
 we have good farm. We have a flowing well with soft water. It is the best water in the country. Some people think they got to go to war when they come out here. They need not be afraid of war. There is no war tax on land; only school tax, $12.00 on 160 acres, and road tax of two days with your team. I tell you the truth, there is no land in or around Toledo as good as our land here in AL berta. If anybody wants to write us. give them our address.
 We have had nice weather. We have had it quite cold for one week, but no rain and sleet, and the sun shines nearly every day, and it is hot in the sun. Coal is $2.25 per ton. The people are very nice and good here. We are well enjoying the West. The horses and COWS are feeding on the prairies all the winter. We just have two horses in the stable to go to town with.
