NEvApA's CROOKED RIVER

Asia Minor has It's River Meander. South America has it's River of Doubt and now Nevada comes to the fore with the Humbolt river-for it's width and length the crookedest river in the world
 The Humbolt flows southeasterly through the central part of Nevada, vending it's devious and irrational way over desert sands from a place whose origin is not yet charted. to end itself suicidally in a huge hole in the desert. The Nevada natives know it by various names, among them the "Locoed" river, and with good reason, for the cratic stream turns, twists and corkscrews it's path in a manner beyond comprehension or explanation. At one place in it's flow, between points two and a half miles apart. it pursues a tortuous existence of eight miles, during which it's course is alternately north twen- ty-five times. east eighteen times. south thirty times and west forty-ono times
 Every time it takes one of these radical twists it seems to try to turn back and touch itself: at thirty three different places it is within 150 feet of itself or less. And at these points 1t presents the spectac- le of the same river flowing opposite directions 150 feet apart. The South ern Pacific railroad crosses it % times.

 THE DAY OF THE PLEAT

New York, Dec 3.-"Service" is a wonderful word; it applies to things big and little. and in these stirring times 1t has taken on new sig nificance We are all serving. in some way or other. and so in our clothes, the outward symbol of our selves, we express ohr ideals of service. There has been a great deal of talk about simplicity. about lack of trimming on the new models, and how very smart and distinctive these frocks are. Back of this feature of the mode of the moment stands the real motive, Patriotism, and we can cali It by any name we please so long as we follow it's lead
 There is something very satisfying about the pleated dress The long lines, uninterrupted by trimming, are becoming to old and young. The ef- feet of narrowness is preserved with. out the uncomfortableness of the ex- trenlely narrow skirt The smart frock illustrated here is of tan broad cloth, the color of meerchaum pipe, and the collar, unusual in size and arrangement, is of white broad cloth. Simple, yes, but absolutely charming and appropriate for any occasion when one wishes to be par. ticularly well dressed The sleeves are long and tight, and the belt does not define the figure, but carries out the straight silhouette The skirt is longer than one is accustomed to see, but this instep length is new fea- ture in the winter fashions
 Pleats, indeed, are very fashionable this year. They are found on skirts, tunics and even coats. The box-pleat seems to be the most favored. though the tiny knife pleat and the wide

 Collars are being much elaborated on, and new ideas are being constant ly seen. The thin coiiar of organdie or costume of heavy material is much favored They may be very plain, the material cut double, with out any trimming whatever, or they have tiny pleatings of the same ma terial, lace or net. Some are elab- orately beaded and embroidered. One stunning collar and cuff set was of white organdie. embroidered in silver. Crepe de Chine, Georgette crepe. silk and satin are used extensively Elan nel, broadcloth and pique are worn with the woolen dress. One odd set on a green jersey suit was of cham ois, pinked around the edges.

SALTS F KIDNEYS
 OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmlss to flush Kidneys and nsutral iss irritating acids-Splendid
 for systsm.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says q noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and infame causing burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and some times very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take table spoonful in glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine 60 it no longer is source of irritation to the bladder and urinary orr gans which then act normally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is splen- did for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have pleasant, effervescent Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble
