A blouse of black geOrgette crepe
over an underblouse of white crepe is
IN elegant and matronly model, de-
signed especially for elderly women.
1t is made with the popular epaulette
shoulders, to which the back and front
are gathered and joined with hem
stitching. The front Of the blouse Is
prettily embroidered with a scroll pat
tern in black silk floss and above this
an outline pattern in black beads adds
style feature of the season to it's
attractions. ~s. s..s,. RI
The sleeves are plain, finished at the
wrist with two tucks, and they are cut
short enough to allow the sleeves of
the underblouse to extend three inches
beyond them. This brings deep cuff
of the soft, white crepe well over the
band and corresponds with the treat

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kllmer's Prescrip-
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less e1-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion.
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for Q

CANADA'S BONUS
: TO FARM LAB0RERS
Offering 100 Acres to Farm
Hands.

Canada today, with the great de-
mand that is made upon it for food
stuffs, finds itself almost in the throes
Of labor famine. A novel means Of
solving the problem has been evolved
by the Canadian Government at Ottawa
on Wednesday last, when it was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm
hand going to Canada, by giving him
100 acres free as homestead, and to
allow the time he would be working out
for, the good wages offered, to count as
residence duties on the homestead.
Western Canada has been a big pro-
Queer Of grain and it is estimated that
there is shortage Of over thirty thou
sand men, necessary to produce an av-
erage crop in 1917. This shortage has
been caused by so many young men
having left the farms to 60 to war, and
it is essential to make an unprecedent-
ed offer Of this kind to fill their places
on the land at once.
It has been required in the past to
do three years duties on hOmesteads
to get title, but an additional induce
ment has been offered by practically
reducing this term to two years. AS
explained by an official Of the Canada
an Government, Canada's need for
farm laborers is intense, and excep-
tional inducements are being offered
to get the needed farm workers ut
once. A farmland will make his en-
try for one of the 16O-acre farms, sat
isfy the Government that he is work.
ing for farmer and that time Will np-
ply as residence on the land filed for,
lust the same as if he was actually
living on it.-AdvertiSement.

| dlestick believing the aunt, whom she
still thought had really loved her, had
had some motive she had felt to be
right in withholding from her the
money. But indignation was rife
among her friends, and one of them
took it upon herself to visit each one
of the heirs, and ask them to make an
equal division of the money, including
Bertha, the one who most needed it.
They had a meeting, but decided it
had been their aunt's wish to so will
her property, and they did not wish
to set it aside.
Bertha was advised to contest the
will, but she refused, saying she dis
liked family Quarrels, and preferred to
remain on good terms with her cousins.
She neither saw nor heard anything of
Murray Powers, though the memory of
him was always Juggling at her heart.
One day her cousin Adele told he had
written to her he was coming back be-
fore long. So he was writing to her.
Then Adele let drop few words that
convinced her he was no doubt en-
gagged to her fortunate cousin.
Poor little Bertha! Life did begin
to seem a rather dreary, drab affair,
but she kept the candlestick polished,
and pure white candle in it. Some
times she lighted the candle, and set it
by her aunt's picture, as though she
could see it, and be pleased. It so
often got wobbly that it required fire.
quent ScreWing up. Finally one day
when she was trying pretty vigorously
to tighten it, the whole thing came to
pieces, and Bertha saw a piece of pa
per sticking out of the hollow space in
the middle. 1t was so tightly folded,
and firmly wedged in she had some diff
fculty in getting it out. What was
her amazement to find later will Of
her aunt leaving all her property to
her "well-loved niece, Bertha Town
send" Her reason for this strange
proceeding was: II shall be able to

passed over. 1 wish 70 try these girls
though I am quite sure my dearest
child will be faithful TO the trust. Had
she not found the will in five years, an
old friend holds letter which reveals
the secret, but which was not to be
opened till the time expired"
The will was properly probated, but
Bertha insisted she would only take
her share, and the money must be d.
vided into four parts. While the mat
ter was still pending, her lawyer try
ing to dissuade her from the folly Of
such a course, Murray Powers sudden
ly appeared in the boarding house par
lor. Bertha met him pleasantly, but
with considerable dignity. Incidental
ly she congratulated him on his en-
gagement. He emphatically denied
there was any. "Why, came to con-
graduate you on yours" he said with
a palpably forced effort to be cheerful.
It was her turn to deny her engage
ment. Then a light broke in on them
both.
Its just bully, the way you've act
ed about this money" he said. "They
don't deserve penny. But let them
have it if you wish 1T. I've been max.
ing my pile up there. I'm my own
boss now, and if you'll only"
What was the use Of going further?

Three Lovely Hats for Midsummer

Although Easter comes early this
year midsummer millinery has been
fully launched, as the group Of lovely
hats shown above will indicate. Mil
liners must anticipate the needs of
their patrons long before they are
actually pressing, so that spring styles
make their advent while the snow
flies and those for summer arrive with
the early spring. 1t is wise woman
who makes her choice early-fOr the
first hats are really the best hats. The
summer outfit in headwear might as
well be bought at the beginning of the
season as later.
An outfit I'm hats will include tai
lored model for street wear, sport
hat and q dress hat, anyway, and may
he supplemented with special hat
for motoring. The tailored hat Is re-
lied upon for early wear and is al
yays in the vanguard of new season
millinery.
Many of the styles for midsummer
are very wide brimmed and many of
them are of lacy materials. Swiss
hoir braid. malines, chiffon and lace.
in combination with straw braid. or
worked up without them. make up
these airy models. Workmanship on
them is difficult and exquisite and
women who demand the best in mil
Ifnery art must be willing to pay for
the patient labor required to produce
It. Since this is all done by sister
women. the high price of high-class
millinery viii not be begrud.ed.

Nothing is responsible for so many
failures in flashlight work as the omis-
sion of anything to diffuse the light.

BILE for the characteristic" appearance
of f1ashlight portraits. Flashlight, it
should be remembered, is not normal
lighting at ALT is purely a photo
graphic expedient to obtain adequate
illumination-and flashlight pictures

cate how they have been produced /;

we'll diffused, is the secret of success.
If there is interposed between the flash
and the sitter a sheet of muslin or of
tracing cloth, the required diffusion
will be obtained.

away across the front and an inlay OF
black chantilly lace introduced.
The hat at the center has wide
poke-bOnnet brim of black malines and
q crown of lisere. A bias fold of satin
breaks the width of the brim. An or
