is welded to one of the most erratic
dances of the season
Eccentric as is the tickle, changeable, err
ratio dance it has the approval of the In
ner Circle, the body of dancing teachers that
stands for progress in the terpschorean art
In America. AT its convention, held in New
York in September it recommended the Jazz
as kind of paprika of the evenings pro-
gramme. The Jazz is the evenings romp
The convention selected four dances as
the leaders Of the season. They were the
Chinese Toddle, the fascinating drawing
room dance previously described and pic
tured IN this newspaper; the Ramble,
pleasing combination of the oLe-step the
fox trot and the waltz; the Inner Circle
Tango, for which the enthusiastic conven-
ton claimed the honor of being the arsto-
crat of all ballroom dances. As gay little
flip for an evenings dance medley the con-
vention also suggested Hello, Pal )" one
step accompanied by the pledge of fellow
ship. But the convention laid special stress
upon the Jazz.
The dance was created by Oscar Duryea,

Duryea, prominent originator of dances
and instructor in dancing, characterizes as

music is by Ted Eastwood and G. Hepburn
Wilson, the founder and Supreme Master Of
the Inner Circle
Mr. Duryea is the author of the parable Of
81, Myself and Me-" in which he scods per-
sons dancers and non-dancers of limited
and selfish ideas. He wrote:
'SuburbantiS is disease peculiar unto
itself. Many people have this though they
dwell surrounded in all directions by definite
knowledge. They might, if they would
reach ont, take unto themselves, enjoy it and
exceedingly profit thereby. But, alas and
alack! The eternal hallucinaton. H. myself
and me, is constantly before me in this ex-
ceeding strange malady. 1t prevents them
from in any way touching or assmilating
this knowledge.
,"They dwell within themselves. They live,
but they live little, no matter how long they
may have been here among We. They are
small, no matter how large in feshly proper

The Jazz" Made Easy for Anybody to Understand

THIS dance is Fox Trot, but with a
peculiar rhythm somewhat different
- from the usual Fox Trot-it is much
slower. The original Dixie Land jazz" Band
consists of piano, cornet trombone. claironet
and trap drums. The peculiar, somewhat dis
cordant melody is said to be produced by
tuning each of the instruments at a different
pitch; and to end some of the strains they
occasionally play what we have termed a
"crazy cadenza"
Music is "A tempo, but for convenience in
teaching the dance, the count Of "one" has the

Meat Forms Uric Acid, Which Ex-

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a we'll known author
ity, because the uric acid in the meat
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked, get sluggish, clog up and
cause all sorts of distress, particular
ly backache and misery in the kidney
region, rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach, constipation,
torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting raght, or if blad-
der bothers you, get small box of
kidneco from ]. l. Giddings take one
tablet before each meal followed by a
glass CT water for a few days, and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous treatment is made from a
formula of a specialist in the treat
ment of kidney trouble, and has been
used for generations to flush clogged
and stimulate them to nor
nal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer
initiates, thus ending bladder disord
ers.
Kidneeo can not injure anyone, and
will be found wonderfully effective
remedy for all kidney ills They are
inexpensive and can be bought by the
dozen at j. 1. Gidding's.

What's new for fall?


a GOOD many men and young men are asking
= that question about clothes.
Here's the first item of interest: Hart Schaffner
& Marx suits and overcoats for fall have arrived.
The popular fabrics are worsteds, chevoits,
tweeds irdescent shades, green's browns, grays, in
checks, ,plaids stripes, and mixtures-and they're
all-wool, every one of them.
Military touches in suits and overcoats are the
big idea; belts all around pouch pockets with flaps,
patch pockets accented WaiStlineS These are just
few OF the newest features.
We don't need to argue about the merits of
Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes; you know they re
good clothes; YOU know that they are guaranteed
to give you satisfaction or your money back.
The values are unusual.
