Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-ROOt, DR.. Kilmer's PreScrip-
ton, 0vercOmeS Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.

LOOK PRETTY IN WINDOW
Nasturtiums One of the Best Plants
for the Purpose, and Will Thrive
With Little Attention.

Nasturtiums can be grown in any
warm room that has sunny window.
Strong sunshine is absolutely neces-
sary, windows that have only little
sunshine, morning or afternoon, will
not give good results.
The Pennsylvania department Of ag-
riculture recommends the filling of a
pot six inches in diameter nearly full
of soil; after it is pressed down there
must be space about three-quarters
of an inch between the top Of the soil
and the top of the pot. This is to
enable one to thoroughly water the
SOIL
In the center place three or four
seeds Of a climbing nasturtium, put
ting them about half an inch below the
surface of the soil. Then place the pot
in the sunny windows and provide a
trellls Of strings.
The important thing to remember is
that while the seeds are terminating
and the plant young, great care must
be taken not to provide too much wa
ter and so sour the soil.

Once in his own room Harold Wor-

letters appeared to the aroused mind
of Worden to be cherished missives
from sweetheart. All six were
signed with the initials II. r." They
showed the gradations of a growing
love-all seemingly replies to other let
ters periodically received by Ina.
From a first formal note they grew
with fervor to the final, tender encour-
agement of q sweetheart thus wooed
and won.
WOrden cast the hated packet to
the floor and paced up and down in a
fever of humiliation and anger. He
was not engaged to Ina, he had no
right to direct her actions, but she
had deceived, at least derided him.
She must have known that his con-
fession of love was imminent at any
time, yet here she had engaged her
self to another. 1t was cruel, it was
unwomanly! She was trifling, treach-

Harold W0rden restored the package

"You are going away?"
81 must"
The question was an appeal, soft,
tender fiuttering. The reply was de-
cisive, almost stern.
She was in the full glory of early
womanhood, scarcely twenty-five, tall,
graceful, with a face full of expression
and eyes that showed a rare depth of
soulfulneSs. He was five years her
senior, a serious man, but a handsome
one. Thus, Harold WOrden and Ina
Restell, their hands clasped, his eyes
fixed intently, indeed quite challeng-
ing, upon her face; she, shrinking
slightly, as though she had received
blow. He noted that her bosom
huttered, that her breath came quick,
that her hand pressure was spasmodic,
but clinging. Then a fact drifted across
his mind and he turned and left her.
''If she had only been true" he
muttered bitterly, as he left the room
and the house.
IF he had only spoken one word of
hope!" breathed Ina, a stitied sob in
her throat.
They were well matched, these two,
and Clayton society had affirmed it.
There had been year of delight for
Ina and one of keen satisfaction for
Harold Worden. They had met and
drifted naturally into agreeable COM
panionship, for their tastes were mu-
tual-art, music, rational pleasure.
Very near had Worden come to a dec
laration of love. A chilling blight had
come, suddenly, unexpectedly. The
whole fabric of his fond dreams had
gone down in utter ruin with a single
palpitating moment.
One week previous to the present
formal parting he was approaching
the Restell home when a young man
ran down the steps briskly and stepped
into an automobile at the curb. Just
as he reached it something fell from
his pocket. Worden called to him to
Rpprise him of his loss, but the warn
Ing was unheard. By the time Worden
had picked up the package the ma
chine had turned the corner. The
young man was a stranger to Worden
who opened the package to find that
1t contained a half-dozen letters. They
were in the handwriting of Ina, he rec
ognized that at once. A quick, jealous
dread entered his mind, then q species

The reason given by the great French

one asks. Surely, the Paris designers
know that the same social conditions
do not prevail here as there, and that
America, from one end to the other and
then crosswise, has always been given
over to evening gayety.
Paris has always had a strong feel
ing for the afternoon gown, because
of the social routine of the life there.
Fashionable Hours In Paris.
Women of fashion, and all who can
afford good dressing, center upon the
hours from 3 to 6 and dress according
ly. The French woman makes no pre-
tense of running around the streets at
ten o'clock in the morning, as our
multimilliOnaire fashionables do every
day. A few of them walk in the Bots
at II and on the Avenue des Acacias,
but speedily retire for breakfast at
1890. The brilliancy of the afternoon
life begins at three o'clock, and it is
from then until dark that women shop,

ming gowns, too, and yet we hear not a
rumor of anything new, brilliant or
stimulating being done along that line.
One thing is true. Whatever we will
have in the way of new evening fash
ions, will be dignified and not frivolous.
Satin will rule and silk net will hold
its place. Embroidery will again be a
| feature, done in tinseled threads and
silk floss. The Chinese influence is al
ready suggested by the house of Callot,
which has made a crysanthemum eve
ming gown that is built of orange net,
crystals and a mass of Chinese en-
broidery.
The question, therefore, that has
arisen among the American women,
who are excessively stimulated by the
desire to see new clothes at this sea-
son. is whether there will be striking
novelty this month, and with it the
shipments of American clothes.
If not, can the dressmakers persuade
women to keep up the orgie of clothes
| buying which has gone on since last
spring?

New York-Unless something more
drastic happens in Paris than has hap
pened so far, the woman who wants
to Turkish up her gowns of last autumn
anG even last spring and continue to
wear them may do so without criticism.
This does hot mean that France has
not shown to the American buyers an
amazing collection of new clothes. She
has featured the afternoon gown above
the morning and evening ones, and she
has not originated anything new in
sports clothes except in the house of
Chanel, where certain new touches
have been brought out that will I'M
doubtedly catch the public here.
The silhouette is still straight and
slim. The directoire. as was predict
ed, is creeping in. The high empire
waistline has several advocates among
the lesser houses in France.
The skirts shown in the last two
weeks have been trifle longer than
usual, there has been more flat plating
than punched drapery and the use of
expensive and ornate embroidery on
chiffon continues.

Much Discussed Barrel Skirt.

OF course, we are still talking from
rumOr, from cables and from the let
tiers of those who are entrusted with
the mission of giving US advance
information according to their best
belief. But from all these sources
one gathers that novelty was cen
tered in the barrel skirt and that the
American buyers are not looking
upon it with much favor. This does
not mean that the barrel skirt will
fail to be famous creature of fash
ions in America. 1t is too early to
tell what will become of it. The ex-
elusive dressmakerS and shops, you
know, do not like to bring over in
March what the manufacturers of in
expensive, ready-tO-wear clothing have
exploited in January. Suits with
barrel skirts are now selling for $50,
and the man who has to pay $500 for
such suit in Paris, plus 60 per cent
duty, may not even take gambling
chance at its success over here.
All information points to the fact
that belts will relieve the sandwich
effect of pure medievalism. These belts
are put above or at the waistline, but
rarely below. The girdled hips are
fine the normal waistline; they merely
suggest it in a riot of color embroidery
and tinsel.

Austria's part to avoid a break with

apparently supports the theory Of

More significant still is the fact
that Austria apparently has no sub
marines of her own wherewith to car

feel that in view of Austria's efforts

out her submarine warfare against
