FR0CKS JUST FOR CHERUBS
Plain Bright coiors Combined With
Black and White Line Checked
Material Used.

Combining black and white line
checked material with plain bright
colors was carried out very prettily
in little girls frock seen In an estab-
lishment where children's clothes are
a speciality. 1t was made in the long
one-piece style, with the shallow decol-
lete that widens considerable toward
the shoulders, outlined by little
rolled fold of the check. The sides
and elbow sleeves were Of Belgian
blue linen. The checked part Of the
dress extended up on this color and
stood out separate from it, pocketlike,
all about at little below hip length.
Little sprays of cherries were embroid-
cred on the blue at each side Of the
front to give bit of color.
Another smaller girls dress was
made of dotted muslin. This, too,
had the long, flaring, one-piece, cut
from the neck. The dress was smock-
ed at the side front, but the shocking
was done with two colors, instead of
one-a rose pink and a sky blue. The
smoking was half Of the regular hori-
zontal stitch and half feather stitch
type.
Little play aprons are made the
same way, full and gathered into q
shallow neck line, and have the old
fashioned apron strings, which tie
from the sides at back, and two big
puffy pockets, into which child can
gather every thing from pebbles to
plums.

Died of Premature Old Aqe

How many times we hear of compare
lively young persons passing away when
they should have lived to be 20 or 80 years
of age. This fatal work is usually attri-
buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys
degenerate, it causes auto intoxication.
The more injurious the poisons passing
thru the kidneys the quicker will those
noble organs be degenerated, and the
sooner they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy, to prevent
premature old age and promote long Life,
to tighten the work of the kidneys. This
can be done by drinking plenty of pure
water all day long, and occasionally TAX
ing little Anuric before meals. This
can be obtained at almost any drug store.
You will find Anuric more potent than
ithia for it dissolves uric acid as water
does sugar.

Growers ORGANIZING

EASTON. Nd, Feb. There are
being held in several towns of the
Eastern Shore OF Maryland, meetings
Of the tomato growers, to effect or
ganizations for the marketing OF tho
1917 crop OF tomatoes. The prices
that canned goods are bringing just
now have caused the growers to ask
a much higher price per ton than
that paid last year.
A meeting was held on January %
in the Court House at Easton, and the
Tomato Growers Association of Tai
bot county was formed for the mark
citing of this years crop. This meet
ing was one Of the largest meetings
of farmers ever held in Easton, and
had for its principal speaker, County
Agent Gilbert Porter, of Dorchester
county. Mr.. Porter told OF the sue
cess of a similar organization in Dor
chester county last season, which was
instrumental in obtaining higher
prices for the farmers In his county.
A similar meeting in Salisbury per-
fected an organization like the one
now in Dorchester and for the same
purpose. County Agent Vail, OF Wi
comico county. had charge of the
Injecting. Today another meeting
will be held in Centreville, Queen
Anne county, at the call of County
Agent White. at which the growers
will discuss the advisability of an or
ganization in the county. Mr.. Por-
ter will be the principal speaker.
The Gamers are saying that the
