Saturday by speech by DR.. Matthias

as to the general military and naval
situation. He demanded clear
statement from the government re-
qsrding the Russian offensive and
the situation on the Western front.
He also demanded assurance that
the U-boat war is really as cfflca-
cious as it is claimed to be.
The Kaiser md long audience

emperor received Field Marshal Won

PARIS NOTES.
What the Parisians Are
Turning Out For Spring.

What Is lost In the width Of the new
skirts for spring Is added TO the length
In the proportion OF yard 10 an inch.
Skirts are now inches longer and GER
tainly yards narrower Where they
were ten and twelve inches from the
ground they are now six or seven. AS
II this were not change enough, there
Is new silhouette introduced, and
that is one that closely resembles a
barrel as far as the skirt Is concern
ed This Is probably inspired by the
Turkish skirt that was shown by sew
eral of the couturiers last spring. At
any rate, there are number or the
largest creators in Paris who show
skirts of this description.
Paquin uses IL In an afternoon gown
with a Russian blouse effect IN the
ia stenings of the buttons down one
side Otherwise the frock has straight
line.-that is, the waist is not fitted
snugly as 1t is In many OF the new
spring creations.
Jenny fashions coat with this ton
neau' or barrel skirt Of light gray
broadcloth, made with the trimming
of many rows Of stitching in darker
shade OF gray. The barrel effect is In
troduced IStween straight panels IN
the front. sides and back Of the coat.
Even coat quits are showing the bar
rel skirt, ana one>sponsored by an
expert Is Of checks of blue and white,
trimmed with koumanian embroidery
The jacket of this suit is hip length
as are many OF the suits for spring foT
this house.
Premet uses this type Of skirt In an
afternoon frocls- VI two materials
They are joined juht below the hips
and at this point the skirt is much
wider than at the bottom where II Is
drawn In considerably.
From these various couturiers Ii will
be seen that there is every chance that
skirts OF this description will be very
much the mode for the early spring
frock. They are not unatteactiye. es
pecially II they are not exaggerated
in line Most Of the frocks with such
II skirt are sure to have the waist nj
bit more snugly, for the outline then Is
wider ut the shoulders than AT the
waist. when the line goes in. and VI un
duates from that point TO greater
width at the knees and narrows eon

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and ali our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps OF

cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fire.
