Newport Ave-, Chicago, Ill.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. 1t may be
used with perfect confidence by women
who suffer from displacements, infiam-

tunes almost as much as the ever
popular blue. Favorite combina-
tions are navy blue or black and
beige. Au-white dresses are also
very popular. Made on youthful
lines they are as becoming and
proper for the debutante as for her
mother. Of course, black satin, Geor-
gette crepe and velvet will be worn a
great deal this winter for the more
dresSy costumes. The black gown
illustrated here has long hip-dra-
perry which seems to emphasize the
slimness of the silhouette. The high
collar has come into it's own again.
1t has, indeed, been banished too
long, for it certainly gives an air of
trimness to the costume, not obtain

make a perfect whole. The long,
tight sleeves are quite a feature this
autumn. The novel shaping of the
collar, the use Of tassels instead of
buttons, and the touch of embroid-
cry on the skirt, all make for that
distinction SO eagerly sought by the
woman of taste.
Heroes and Colorings
Just at present there is quite
vogue in Paris for naming the suits
and dresses after prominent Ameri-
cans. Wilson, Pershing, Roosevelt
and Lincoln have all been so honor
ed In the lovely new colors de-
creed by Fashion they are quite ir-
resistible. Gray, in every shade, is
fashionable Smoke, mist, steel,
chinchilla and the gray browns,
such as castor and beaver, are the
dominating colors for street costumes.

Gotta are especially smart, I saw a
charming dress, at one of the big
hotels the other evening, of cham
pagne-colored jersey cloth combined
with raven-blue satin. Indeed, the
softness of the vivid autumn color
ings Is one of the most striking
things about the present mode. Of
course, our national colors are dis
played everywhere, but not so obvi-
ously as at first. We are using a
great many of the different shades of
red and blue, so that one need not go
dressed as the American flag in order
to "show ones colors."

Butterfly, had none of these advant-

the publisher was that its sales would

Raymond Hubbell had had the mel
ody for the piece hanging around for
year or more. and John L. Golden,
who works with Mr.. Hubbell, had con-
sistently refused to write lyric for
1t. His reason was simple: he did not
like the song. When The Big Show
was planned a Japanese girl named
Haru Onuki was engaged. and it be-
came necessary to find song for her.
Golden was In Diilingham's ONCE at
the time. and the Office boy solved the
problem.

copies printed last week, and declares
that he will make 100000 on the

The Power Behind Your

The satisfaction you derive from your

dependent upon the infallibiity with which

largely dependent on the excellence of its

The "E1ide" Battery is today the pre-
eminent startingand lighting batteryamong

The most satisfactory explanation is that it is

Envy is the shadow cast by success. Whoever

The ordinary pedestrian hates the man in the
automobile; it irritates him to have to stop to let
the go by, to be footed at when he is in the
road.
Hating Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan is a
national pastime. We have nothing against them.
Only they're rich. And We not.
Of course we don't admit it. We deny the al
legation and defy the alligator. But the little
grudglet is in hearts just the same. Why

physical condition leaves nothing to be desired.
They march treessly, they hard steel rivets,
and they eat prodigiously. Their officers feel the
time is nearing when they will be ready for the
first touch of the trenches. The fear is that the
repetition of these harmless exercises will become
monOtOnOus to them, they will grow careless
and unobservant. They will go through their work
without giving thought to it, not knowing what
their first trench tour will teach them that every
action is of infinite importance.
THE American does not excel in obedience
in attention to detail said of officers. "No
men could behave better than men, but they do
not yet realize that if they advance two yards when
they are told to advance yard. that extra yard
may bring death to some of them. They do not
realize that in following barrage fire they must
follow at the pace ordered and not at the pace they
like better Only touch of the trench will bring
these things home"
No indication has been given yet when they
will be sent forward That is matter which hangs
on broader issues. These men may be made over
into veterans for the training of their comrades

ferred until there Is American army here that is

Where the War viii Be Won.

What has become of the old-fashioned opinion,
held by some high strategists both in the Allied
and the Teuton camps, that the war would be
decided in the East? Time and again during the
first two years of the conflict events lent a color
of likelihood to that theory. Had the Entente
attack on the Dardanelles succeeded, or the Ger
man thust into the Balkans been carried far
enough TO become a menace to British power in
the Levant or If the advantages which the hus-
slams first under Grand Duke Nicholas and later
under Brusilof, gained against Austria had been
duly sustained, or IL the Teuton drive upon Ru-
mania had expanded into the far-continued cam
paign which once was predicted, if the Allied
army based at Salonih had carried out the often
rumored plan OF recovering Serbia and pressing
on into Austria-had any of these possibilities
materiaIized at a favorable conjunction of circum-
stances the prediction that the would be
decided in the East might have been fulfilled.
But all the elements in the present situation
Particularly does this appear true since the Rus
sian DISCRIMINATION. The Allies must look
to their Western forces, along with those of vaor-
Gus Italy, to strike the telling blows; and Ger
many must look to her Western lines for the de-
tense to which she is reduced 1t is there that the
major strength Of both sides will be mustered and
by reason of Russia's present inaction Germany
can do a good deal of effective concentrating It
is there too, that American troops will march
for the great victory-bringing blow against

The Southeastern Far.

The suspicious opening of the 1917 Southeast
ern Fair accords well with the character and mer-
its of that distinctive exposition. No measure of
popular approval material success could exceed
the deserts of this enterprise. The preceding
Fairs at Lakewood have been highly creditable,
but they were merely foreshadOwings of the one
now in progress. II is doubtful indeed, that any
State or any section in the entire Union ever be-
fore staged an exposition varied in its products
and so rich both in entertainment and instruction
The agricultural exhibits a revelation of
what the farmers of the Southeast are doing to
promote national prosperity and win the war. For
years past the production of foodstufs has been
making notable Roadway in Georgia and neighbor-
ing States. but the results of the 1917 campaign
to this end, witnessed in the Southeastern Fair
are nothing short of astounding. Under the slim
illus of war time necessity and patriotism ag-
riculture has made greater strides, far as food
crops are concerned, during the past twelve
months than formerly it would have made in a
decade This is a vital part of Southern history
and of American history for it means strength,
new freedom new service. AS exposition Of
these achievements alone. the Southeastern Fair
would be broadly and intensely interesting.
But in addition to its wealth of agricultural
displays, the Fair presents livestock and cattle
show which seldom has been equaled anywhere In
America 1t presents automobile and indus
trial show which OF itself would be we'll worth
long Journey to see. And besides these and divers
other educational features, the Fair offers con-
tfnuous round Of we'll chosen and wonderfully
varied amusements Coming in the wake of the
South's most golden harvests and at the height OF
far-showering prosperity, the Southeastern Fair
should and doubtless will draw a record-breaking
attendance throughout the week.
