on the part Of designers OF fancy
effects.
A Costume with the New Coat Blouse
Some OF the new blouses are made
to give the effect of coats. especially
those OF hip or fnger-tip length
which are meant TO be worn over the
skirt. One OF these new blouses is
illustrated in the accompanying
sketch Ii even has vest in the
front to accentuate the coat-like APP
pearance II is fashioned OF dotted
sports silk with plain silk trimmings
in the vest, collar. belt, pockets and
cuffs.
Skirts feature both the straight,
simple lines which continue TO satisfy
most women. and the draped effects
with diminishing width at the hem OF
the skirt. The barrel effect in these
skirts may be anywhere between the
hips and the knees.
White skirts or serge, flannel, CAB
ardine and wool jersey are worn with
coats OF velvet in both dark and light
colors. Besides the skirts OF one color,
stripes, checks and plaids with vari-
GUS colors are very frequently seen.
The Embroidered Frock.
Afternoon frocks lavishly trimmed
with embroidery are as highly favored
as ever. Many a frock is made in
Jumper effect; not the old kind OF
jumper, but an entirely new sleeve
less affair extending below the waist
line at the front and back. This smart
type of jumper is shown in the sketch.
The costume is one OF those featuring
the oval silhouette, the skirt be softly
pleated at the top to produce the
slightly distended effect at the hips.
oyster-white pongee. which is one of
the favored dress fabrics, develops
this costume, and the embroidery on
the Jumper is done in the simple run
ning-stitch In Chinese blue. The Cir
die winds itself twice around the fig
ure as most OF the girdles Of this type
do in these days.

in the evenings. And. of course, every
woman realizes how wonderfully be-
coming they are. Fur appears as a
trimming on several OF the new satin
wraps and coats. Satin is considered
especially smart for wraps as we'll as
dresses. and is therefore very promi-
nent.
Among the new coats there are
some cape effects seen which promise

fashion. These have been launched
by the Paris designers and they seem
already to be meeting with success.
The High Cost OF Shoes.
The interest in footwear grows
more and more as we hear OF the
soaring prices OF leather. Plain low
pumps to be worn with spats are go
ing to be worn very much now as this
will be one OF the means OF solving
the problem OF the high cost OF shoes.
Black patent leather pumps with
white or sand-colored spats is the

CONSERVATION
People Are Beginning To Real
ize The High Value
OF Vision.
Faculty Of Eyesight Takes First Place
Among the Many Things That Make
Life Worth Living.-Optometr
Working toConserve Eyesight Of
Citizens of This State.

Among the many things that make
life worth living we must place the
faculty of vision at the very top Of
the list; and because people have
come to realize the value Of vision
there has come into existence a great
many Of professional men known as
optometrists. Their exclusive bust
ness is the conservation of human
vision, through the adjustment Of
proper glasses when needed. Their
examinations are made without the
use of drugs, or drops"
I have said that optometrists are
cOnservers of vision. This is a very
important phase Of their work, be-
cause eyes that are properly cared
for in youth, the defect, if any, being
carefully corrected, will give good
service in old age. Optometrists
daily have calls from those unfortu-
mates who have too long neglected
their eyes, only to find that it is i'm
possible to bring the vision back to
normal, because of such neglect
If one would have good vision in
old age, he must guard it well in
youth. Optometrists not only con-
serve vision, but. they add immensely
to the sum total of human efficiency,
and this is true not only during
school life but also Of the adults,
since the function of vision enters so
Importantly into most Of our social
processes.
The eyes use great deal of nerve
energy in their function of seeing,
even when the vision is normal and
when the eyes are defective a great
deal more nervous force is required,
because the eyes strive to see as well
as possible. This often results in
functional disturbances in other or
gans Of the body, because the eyes
are rObbing these various organs of
their just share of nerve energy. Thus
we often find persons who are suf-
fering from stomach, liver kidney,
bowel Or other troubles, who, when
the eyes are put in focus with prop
erly made lenses, are entirely reliev.
ed Of these REFLECTED" or reflex nerve
troubles.

EYES BEAR LsFE'S BURDEN
All School Children With Defective
Eyes Should Have Properly
Fitted Glasses.

''While it is granted that the pub
tic school should be conducted for
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der, yet we should give some detail
ed attention to the needs OF the ex-
ceptional child, in order that he, too,
may realize something out Of his
investment Of time and energy. The
strain Of civilization rests most heav-
lily upon the eyes, and we find that the
percentage of children with subnor-
NAL vision increases in the upper
cation Of the student tends to in
crease visual defects.
eff every child in our public schools
who has defective vision we're prop
erly cared for, it would mean the
elimination or an immense amount Of
waste and an immense contribution to
the total efficiency OF mankind. It
has been estimated that il the child
rem in the public schools Of New Or
leans, found to have defective vision,
were suitably equipped with glasses,
it would mean a saving to the school
system Of more than $4,000 annually,
and this proportion holds in almost
every other city under like conditions.
S"The only sane effective method to
pursue is to arrange for the careful
examination Of the vision Of the
school child en- by men skilled in the
practice of optometry-men who
make these examinations without the

sTeachers everywhere testify to the
wonderful benefits which follow regu-
lar vision tests in the schools These
tests will benefit all concerned: the
child by affording him a better chance
in life, the teacher by making her
work more effective; the taxpayer, by
lessenirg the expense of education, and
society as a whole, by adding to it
an army Of young graduates who are

RISING ABOVE AFFLlcTION

Paralyzed from her shoulders down,
her useless little shrunken hands lying
quite still on pillow in front of her,
small girl dreams Of the day when
she. will be a famous artist. And
these dreams have brought her new
power or sense, for this little stricken
one has learned to use her mouth to
hold her pencils and brushes while she
draws the pictures that are the delight
and pride Of the Brooklyn IN. W Hos
pital Of st. Giles. The cripple, Ethel
Toussaint, the brave little artist, is
just fourteen years old. For seven
years, ever since an attack Of infanti1e
paralysis, she has been unable to move
her body. But her mind was busy and
her will to become an artist has
caused her to overcome almost insur.
mOuntable obstacles.

restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist saws
it darkens the hair so naturally Ana
evenly that nobody can tell it has been

through your hair, taking one strand al

Sanitary science has Of late made
rapid strides with results that are or
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application Of it's untiring research
is the recommendation that it is as
necessary to attend to internal santa

man body as it is to the drains Of the

Those Of Us who ar accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as
daisy by opening tie sluices Of t. e sT8-
tenn each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick OF
we'll, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the stOm-

unsianed Communications.

1t is a rather striking commentary
on the mental attitude OF Vermont
people Of the present day that three
newspapers in widely separated plac-
es should have occasion in the same
week 10 protest against unsigned com
munications. The Manchester Jour
nal Is one of the newspapers, and II
says:
I'VE are in receipt of a somewhat
lengthy communication signed Once a
Teacher which we would be pleased
to print did we but know who the
author was. They say they wrote IL
in a hurry so as to be sure TO get it

the most important part-to sign
their name. We have but one place
for communications from unknown
persons and that is the waste basket.
We will, however. hold for another
week for the authors name"
Along a similar line is the complaint
OF the Randolph Herald and News as
follows:
"a communication from A Native
of Orange County, worthy Of publica-
ton in every other way, cannot APP
pear unless the author signs his name
to It,"
The third is from the Rutland News
and although it does not refer to a
communication to a newspaper but
rather to the authorities of that city,
the principle of the case is the same.
Says The News:
AfTt To ,sfa

nous complaints relative to alleged

The person who is making such SER
ious charge against his neighbor yet
is not willing TO disclose his identity

spite or some motive other than of
serving the community and has reach
ed a conclusion without proper inves-
tigation Every newspaper has to
