Sudden Death
Caused bv Disease of The Kidnevs

The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, Or disease Of brain
or lungs.
It is a good insurance against such
a risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package Of "Anuric"-the latest
discovery of DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent Or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, WORKOUT
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.

One suit of burgundy broadcloth had a band of seal around the coat and the cuffs. while scarf collar of the same fur had throw back ends. The scarf Is one that promises to be very much in vogue, as it is detachable and provides narrow fur pieces which can be worn separately.
 The skirts are a trifle longer and of medium width. The yoke effect appears on some; others have the side and box plaited effect. Fur buttons form a nov d trimming on many models.
 A model that would attract attention by it's originality had the entire skirt made of triangular plaits set in at reg ular intervals. The space between each set of plaits was banded at the bottom with seal. The coat carried out the same idea, but here the 'plaits were held in at the top with embroidered f1eur- de-lis. Fur formed the cuffs and the high collar.

few months because the cheap cotton stitching has changed color. Women who have their frocks redipped or dyed to renovate them for a second season know well the value of silk stitched seams, for cotton thread used in stitch ing will not take the color used to dye silk or worsted material.
 While even a georgette blouse has been too warm all summer, the manu- lecturers have been busily engaged in preparing their line of fall and winter suits. In regard to materials, satin will reign among the leaders, but vel vets. velveteens, velours and velours checks all come in for their share of popularity in the development of, the autumn suits.

Notes on Pickling

THE following very excellent and
 exact formulas for pickle mixtures are taken from a pamphlet issued by the Agricultural College of the State of New York and are given verbatim:
 It is the custom with vegetables. such as tomatoes and cucumbers. to soak them in brine before putting them through the regular pickling process. The brine is probably used because it withdraws moisture from the tissue of the vegetable and makes it possible to obtain a firmer result. renders a milder flavor, gives the desired salt taste and adds to the keeping quality of the pickle.
 The strength of brine required de- bends on the length of time the vege- table to be pickled is to remain in the brine
 Too strong brine softens and spells the vegetable.
 To make brine. to one quart of water add one-third to one-half Jcupful of salt. The brine should be strong enough to float fresh egg.
 To keep pickles green, grape leaves and cabbage leaves are said to help in retaining the natural green color of cu- cumbers and unripe tomatoes. The bottom and sides of the kettle are lined with leaves. the kettle is then filled with the mixture to be pickled. and a layer of leaves is added to cover the top of the mixture. The mixture is then brought slowly to the boiling point. The practice of 'greening" veg etables by cooking them in copper ket- ties is a dangerous one. If copper is used at all it must be with the utmost care, and the utensil must be scrupu- lously clean

HOMEMADE PORTIERES

DRETTY portieres can be made at
 home by exercising little ingenuity. One pair seen lately was of soft green arras cloth. Two bands of olive brown linen were applied to the curtain about six inches from the bottom. The tops of these bands were outlined in a heavy line of golden tan rope silk in outline stitch. and the lower edges of the bands were treated in the same way in olive green rope silk. Three embroidered bands of outline embroidery also ran the length of the curtains. These bands were composed of three lines of rope silk. two tan and one green in the middle.
 Another effective curtain can be made by using gray material and applying to it hem of darker gray. decorated with small cubes. embroidered in solid yellow and outlined in black

tables in nests around them and a rad ish flower here and there between the nests. Serve either French or mayon- naise dressing in bowl apart. Offer choice of vegetables to each one served.
 Apple and Celery Salad.-Core and pare three apples; then cut oranges into thin slices with a handy slicer. Let each apple be as it Is sliced to insure replacing the slices to form the origi- nal apple. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over them to keep the slices white. Slice crisp celery stalks into one-quarter inch pieces and dispose on a salad dish. Upon the celery arrange the sliced apples. Fill the openings with salad dressing and insert green celery tip in each. Add more dressing to suit taste.
 Caulifower and Beet Salad.-Boil the caulifiower and when cold separate the fowerets. Trim each stalk and place on heart leaves of curly lettuce. Have ready beets cooked tender. cut in thin slices, then stamped into rings. Dress them with oil, vinegar, salt and pep per. Dispose a ring on each foweret. Add few fanciful figures (cut from beet) here and there and serve at once. Use patty cutter to shape the rings.

Every girl and woman should try her best to look her best always. The care- less, indifferent woman is the one who always has a complaint to make about things in general No matter how for tune would favor her. she would still be dissatisfied. She loses interest in her looks and condemns other women who are neat and take a pride in look ing attractive as frivolous" but any one who ever stops to think things over realizes that the woman who is neat and tries to look her best always is certainly furthering her chances for business and social success.
 The quiet, re1ned woman or girl of good taste knows that baths, deep breathing, thorough attention to ones hair and teeth and thinking kindly of humanity in general are the best beau- tifiers. And *he very plainest woman who follows these simple rules-who looks at life in the right way-is al- ways attractive and charming.

Everything that comes out OG Paris these days is elaborately stitched with silk in self tone of con- trAsting shade. and the stitching clev- erly adapts itself to all sorts of con- volutions, twists and turns-to say nothing of angles. On tailored suits of broadcloth, serge and mohair there are rows and rows of stitching. squares. oblongs. arabesQues, hieroglyphics, luck symbols, circles and scrolls, all done on the machine in a conspicuous chain stitch which shows up handsomely on q wool material because of the luster of the silk used to make the stitching.

One finds in a French frock no cotton stitched lining, no makeshift silk and cotton scanning done with the convenient double thread machine that makes a fine show on the right side and betrays cotton on the wrong side. 1he couturter rightly be- Heves that silk stitched seams through out a costume add not only to it's grace and it's character of distinction, but such stitching is also more durable, particularly when a single thread ma chine is used. and it's color does not change and spoil costume as cotton thread is apt to do.

 This is accentuatsd in one model by a sort of pointed belt which gives a certain shaping to the waist line while below the skirt portion flares out in grand godets. Another type of long fur coat, made in seal and moleskin. is vaguely redingote in shape-but very vaguely. The redingote effect is gain ed by a lower back and side portion. which is gathered slightly into a seam a bit below waist line depth.
