The net frock shown in the picture
will set off youthful figure. 1t is
simple enough with a plain, moderate
ly full skirt and wide hem. Fine or
candle ruching is set on the skirt in
medallions and about the collar and
sleeves. The bodice is very simple
with square neck and a collar that
Stimulates fichu at the front. 1t ends
under girdle of taffeta edged with
narrow ribbon. Narrow ribbons are
placed over the shoulders and they
pass under the girdle, ut the front and
back, and fall below the waistline to
about half the length of the skirt.
They are finished with little pink rose
buds near the ends. Also, there are
tiny pink roses at the neck.
The ribbons and the girdle may be
in white but in the dress, as pictured,
they are in blue.
These simple net dresses are worn
over slips Of white or colOred organdie.
Lace and crochet balls, small tucks
and embroidery appear in their deco
ration and the fashion of the hour
favors light pink and blue combined in
girdles and ribbons worn with them.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen q tender corn
or caIIus so II lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes q size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks Of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
q tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug hOuse.-adv.

KIDNEY REMEDY
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

There is no medicine which we handle
that gives such good results as your
Swamp Root. Many of our customers
have informed us at different times that
they have derived great benefit from its
use.
There was one case in particular which
attracted great deal of attention in this
neighborhood early last Spring, as the
gentleman's life was despaired of and two
doctors treating him for liver and kidney
trouble were unable to give him any re-
lief. Finally a specialist from st. Louis
was called in but failed to do him any
good. l at last induced him to try your
Swamp Root and after taking it for three
months, he was attending to his business
as usual and is now entirely well. This
case has been the means of creating an
increased demand for your Swamp-Root
with US.
Very truly yours,
