As city comptroller, Mr.. Traeger in.
augurated many reforms, especially the
practice of selling bonds of the city
81 100000 in bonds were thus sold at

sirable investment and demonstrating

Honest John Traeger, as he is rightly
known, occupies a warm spot in the
hearts of the people in all walks of
life, and in a straightforward manner
he has always discharged the duties and
the honored trust which they the peO-
pie have placed upon his broad manly
shoulders, and without the least doubt
about it he is big enough and brainy
enough to become mayor of Chicago
in 1919.

Enthusiasm for FurS.

Furs have invaded every branch of
womans apparel as the most desired
Of garnitures. There is an immense
enthusiasm for them. They add a
sumptuous touch to coats and suits
and wraps of all kinds. In millinery
a border or collar of fur on a lace or
flower-trimmed hat makes places for
its summary gayeties in the depth of
winter. Millinery designers delight in
the touch of fur.
Just about the best asset in the
winters wardrobe is a fur set of some
sort--a neckpiece, little or big, and Il
smart muff. They are worn with
coats and suits, 0ne-piece frocks, and
evening wraps. Anything unusual or
original in designing them so long as
it is graceful, adds much to their dis
tinction. The woman who is clever
about making things for herself at
home can make small fancy neckpieces
and pillow muffs of fur or of fur and
material combined.

Poisoned by Thousands!

plentifully of pure water will cleanse
them to n certain. extent. Then obtain
at the drug store little Anuric, which

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root. DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overc0mes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians ths4
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to r.
marksble degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
iltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sstance 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 a kidney and

Concerning Skating Sets.

The golden days of Indian summer
might make us forget winter or cease
to believe in it, if it were not for
forecasts in the shop windows. They
are full of fineries and furbelows for
Christmas gifts, and furs and wraps
that will warm those who wear them
to the soul or let us hope so. 1t Is
to be gathered from them that skating
will be winters foremost pastime, for
there are all sorts of skating outfits
displayed.
There are costumes among them In
which sports cloths reach the apex
of luxury and beauty, and there are
many unpretentious but captivating
skating sets, sometimes of three
pieces. and often of two. The three
piece sets include muflier cape, and
muff to match, and the two-piece sets
muller and cape or hat. They make
ideal Christmas gifts.
Several of the new materials, as
wool velours. Bolivia cloth, and the
lighter fur-fabrics are perfectly adapt
ed TO these sets. Eiderdown is an
Ideal material for them, and the set
shown in the picture is made of it.
Bnt any of the soft. woolly cloths
might be used for the plain muller

about the same good effect. The hat Is
held on by bride of eiderdown. and
the sportive-loolling pompon is made
OF yarn, which is of all things the
best for decorating skating sets.
Besides the sets made of fabrics
there are practical and handsome
ones of yarns. Angora is the contest
looking of these. White bordered with
coiored stripes and bright colors.
trimmed with white, seem to match up
Dest with winter landscape: at any
rate this is the opinion of those who
nave designed skating toys. But more
audacious color combinations may ex-
pect to meet with approval against a
background of ice and snow, and after
all is said, there is nothing better
than vivid Scotch plaids for winter
sports.

The handsome set pictured is made
of moleskin bordered with Hudson
seal. The small cape, rather full, Is
heightened by two ruflles of moleskin,
and has the effect of triple cape, each
one of them bordered with the seal.
There are two similar ruiiles ut each
side of the muff. The ruifles are lined
with mole-coored satin, and the very
modish collar muf1les up the neck in
the approved style.
All the soft, loosely woven cloths
that are fashionable are combined
with fur landings in smart sets. Vel
vet brocade, and rich ribbons play an
important role also in fashioning them
Neckpieces in combinations of fabrics
and fur are usually small, but muffs
are larger than many all-fur muffs.
Large uncovered buttons and hanging
balls of fur are among the embellish-
ments that fashion approves Occa-
sionally Il bright-coored material is
yelled with a sedate color in chiffon
and encircled with fur in unusual sets.

Anuric should be taken before meals
1t is many times more potent than
