Two Tones in Everything.

The seasons agog with two-tOne eff
fects, lettuce green and gold, beige

among the others every now and then
is black over white. It never occurs
the other way, however. Some Of the
very prettiest blOuses are Of white
rather heavy crepe or chiffon yelled
in very thin black gauZe and some
women have discovered that while the
one thickness transparent sleeves are
very unbecoming, making. their arms
look unpleasantly bare, an inner lin
ing of white tulle achieves perfection.
A most becoming blouse is of white
georgette yelled in black, box-plaited
so that the effect is that of a stripe.
The neck is cut square finished with

gracefully into a wristband of em-

Sudden Death

Before an insurance company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test your water and re-
port whether you are good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headaches, dizzy spells, or twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and govt,
or sleep is disturbed two or three times
a night-take heed, before too late!
You can readily overcome such con-
ditions and prolOng life by taking the
advice Of famous physician, which is:
Keep the kidneys in good order, avoid
too much meat, salt, alcohol or tea.

Feminism.

Feminism is the first attempt since
the days Of chivalry to think clearly
and talk straight on this woman bust
ness, to call things by names that shall
square with the facts and not with the
appearance Of the facts. 1t Is woman
suffrage with the bark off, for while
woman suffrage wants us to change
our ways of doing toward women,
femininism demands that we change
our ways of thinking about women.
Feminism is the crust on the loaf of
mans daily bread, and the loafer who
knows on which side his bread is but
tered will eat crust with crumb. 1t is
the lemon on the peach tree in the gar
den of love, and wise is the man who
has sense enough to give that lemon
ade 1t is the lantern of DiOgenes to
search out and find an honest man,
even under his wife's washtub.
Feminism is the acid test of mans
chivalry and of woman's sincerity

PIucky Danish Captain.

A hero in every sense of the word
is the captain Of the Danish steamer
Iris which, sailing from one neutral
port to another and having no contra
band aboard, was halted by a German
submarine and the crew ordered to
leave the ship, in order that it might
be sunk. The Danish captain fatty
refused to leave his ship. "You may
sink us, but l and my men will remain
on board" he told the submarine COM
mander. And his pluck won. His ship
was allowed to proceed when it was
seen that he knew his rights and was
not afraid to assert them.

Indian and FireWater.

The Indian is by no means stupid
fellow and many of them, although not
signing the pledge, are in their own
way protecting themselves when under
the influence Of liquor. In Miami, Fla,
(among other things a trading post for
the Seminoles), the story is current
that these Indians always paddle down
the Miami river in pairs; that they do
their trading, deposit their surplus cash
with a certain merchant of tried hon
esty, and then go off for debauch, one
on the first day and the other the next,
the sober fellow refraining from even
d drop of ''firewater" until his brother
has finished his fun. When both have
had their day, under the guidance and
protection of a sober mate, they re-
claim their funds from their merchant
depository and paddle away to their
homes in the Everglades.-Case and

SLIM HIPS STILL IN VOGUE
Barrel Skirt, Hung Low, Permits No
VoIuptuous Curves in These
Models.

1t has been thought that the loose
hip model which is now called the bar
rel skirt demands a specially curved
corset, but this is not true. COrSets
cut according to the latest designs are
more than ever snug below the waist
over the hips as well as in the back and
front. The backs and fronts are liter
ally fiat and even when this effect is
only achieved by widening the waist
three or four inches 1t is done in order
to produce the proper outline.
Anything but a snug hip treatment
would make the new skirts look decid-
edlv frowsy, and since the draping uSu-
ally begins six or eight inches below
the waist, and that is set low, there
must be definite line from which to
expand. Also most OF the arrange
ments are so devised that from one
angle at least q smooth, unbrOken line
is given. Sometimes two draped ScarfS
are applied to the sides of the skirt and
these leave a slender hip panel plainly
visible, sometimes the flare is produced
by a straight piece of material drawn
across the front of the skirt or shirred
into q belt and then left to hang in
graceful cascades at the sides. In this
arrangement the back of the skirt is
perfectly plain. In either case the ac-
tuaI hip line is not Obliterated nor al
lowed anything but the slightest curve.

VALUE OF OUTDOOR LIFE
Only Those Familiar With Freedom of
Woods and Fields Enjoy Com
piete Happiness.

Too many people are merely on
speaking terms with nature. Too many
are unfamiliar with the wonderful adj
vantage Of outdoor. TOo/many cherish
heated comforts. They forget that
their ancestors did not know what
steam-heated house meant. It is time
to broaden our views and to get closer
in touch with the great health-giving
life Of the open air.
There died not long ago natural
list, John Muir who had lived the bet
ter part of his life with nature. He
loved the mountains and the natural
life Of all outdoors. His existence
was a happy one. He died amid the
surroundings of peace, happily, with
d contented heart.
1t is only those who know the free
dom of the woods and the health-giv-
ing tonic of the open air who really
enjoy complete happiness.
1t is related that a sickly mother.
not a great many months ago, carried
sickly baby to Doctor Evans, who
looked the boy over and smilingly ad-

boy loose in the parks, ''let him live in
the open air." he advised, cit is the
only medicine that will do him any
good"
This same advice can be applied to-
day to thousands of cases. On incle-
ment DAYS It is unwise to expose one
self. But when the sun shines and the
air is keen and crisp, is filled with the
germs Of life, one is extremely foolish
not to take advantage of it.
If parents would only see that their
youngsters are warmly clothed, that
their shoes are sound and that their
little legs are well protected, and then
turn them out Of doors and tell them
to stay there, they would find their
doctors bills growing less and the
health Of their children growing bet
ter They will also see "a glow of
rosy health in the young cheeks which
Is q certain indication of expanding
youth, of glowing blood, of the creation
of good health.-Memphis Commercial

MANY RIBBON HATS
All Seem to Be Made on Same
General Model.
Ribbon May Be Used Dozen Different
Ways on Millinery and Very Pretty
and Becoming Effects Are
Easily Produced.

There are a great number of ribbon
hats about now, and it seems strange
that they are all made on the same
model with ribbon which varies only in
color or the fraction of an inch in
width. AS a matter of fact ribbon may
be used in a dozen different ways in
millinery and at any of the ribbon
counters enough scraps Of lovely rib
bon may be bought for little to make
hat and bag, too. if ingenuity is
used.
For fresh young face nothing could
be more becoming than a hat made
:pon a small, tight-fitting crown of
plain blue panne around the upper
crown of which is plated one edge of
an eight-inch-wide Persian ribbon. The
other edge is gathered and fastened to
the crown about an inch from the edge,
forming thus a wide puff or tam crown.
The bag to match is made melon shape,
the lower half blue panne, the upper
Persian ribbon.
A plain foundation Of net may be
covered smoothly with narrow strips of
black and white ribbons laid on in rays.
The crown may be all black or all
white, finished with a contrasting tas-
sci or merely topped by curious ORR
entail ornament.
Powered ribbon hats will probably
be worn this year in place of the Gre
tonne and chintz ones of other seasons.
There is something peculiarly attrac-
tive about fine fabrics for headgear,
and after the first novelty of these cot
ton and wooden hats wore off they soon
lost favor. AS soon as lovely shaded
ribbons, ribbons of gold and silver
brocade and those bearing clusters and
garlandS of exquisite Misunderstanding
flowers began to be offered for mod
crate prices, as is the case now, the
cheaper materials could not fairly com
pete.
A hat, bag and sash of some lovely
summer frOck into something distinc-
tive, and If q sash does not fit in well
with the dress design, collar and cuffs
may be made of the ribbon. These
are often rendered still more lovely by
being yelled in organdie Or null edged
with quillings of fine lace and inser-
ton, too, if possible. Some Of the most
attractive hats being worn in the South
are of ribbon completely covered by
fine net or Organdie.

CANADA'S BONUS
To FARM LAbORERS
Offering 100 Acres to Farm
Hands.

Canada today, with the, great de-
mand that is made upon it for food
studs, 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
nand going to Canada, by giving him
100 acres free as a 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 big pro-
ducer 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 50 many young men
having left the farms to go 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
70 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 Canadi-
an Government Canadas need for
farm laborers Is intense, and eXcep-
rional inducements are being offered
20 get the needed 6arm workers at
once. A farmland VIII make his en-
try for one Of the 160-acre farms, sat
tsfy the Government that he is work
ing for farmer and that time will ap-
oily as residence on the land filed for,
Just the same as if he was actually
diving on it.-Advertisement.

A Blouse Suggestion.

Beads on the georgette blouse are
now about as common as sands on the
seashore, but none the less attractive
because SO generally used. Until the
bead vogue started, geOrgette was
classed as q wash fabric, but anyone
who has tried to wash her beaded
blouse will find it not only q difficult
matter, but a dangerous one, as the
beads are apt to rip off or pull the
material.
Instead Of sewing the beads directly
to the blouse, sew them on bands or
plastrons or medalliOns. and then
basic these with firm stitches to the
blouse. A pull Of the knotted basting
and the band can be removed in two
seconds before washing the blouse 1t
is a practical hint, if you must have
beads and a wash blouse at the same
time.
