Sweaters and SWeater-Coats

The sweater coat has become an in
stitution as permanently placed in the
wardrobe of the modern woman as the
shirtwaist and the blouse are. 1t
started it's career as matter of-fact
garment devoted to comfort alone, but
has become as much diversified as
blouses are, and style Is an important
element that enters into its makeup
:very season. 1t continues to flourish
IN the strength of being both comfort
able and smart.
Sweaters this season, shown in silk
and in wool, also in fiber silks In great
rariety, are made mostly in two-color
combinations. Many of them are knit
ted to conform to the figure rather
snugly at the waistline, and equally as
many depend upon sash or belt, like
the sweater, to give them little def
nition of the waist. Nearly all of them
have rather ample collars and many
among them some of the finest mod
els-are furnished with pockets.
The slip-on sweater is one of the
sweater successes of this particular
season. Its name signifies that it has
40 front opening, but slips ON over the
head, and 1t is made with and without
sash and pockets; the silk models
being usually provided with these ex-
ira furnishings. The coat sweater is
shown in the picture with collar and
ruffs in color contrasting with the
body of the garment. 1t is of silk knit
ed with heavy thread.
In colors there is a wide and beau

Pickup Work for Summer Days

even if it were, the good sense of the
majority of American women would
make them go on their Industrious way
rejoicing-much happier than their
less independent sisters.
Just now everyone can visit with a
clear conscience if work for the SOL
diers and sailors goes on at the same
Ime. This is one kind of pickup"
work that the times make most popu-
lar. Then there are gifts for gradu-
utes and brides who are entitled to
their usual consideration. So those
who can knit may go armed with knit
ting needles and yarn and spend the
time making mufflers or socks for the
army and navy. and those who can't

Our Food Supply and Our Allies

Every one of us must share, whether
we will or not, in the burden of the
cost of the war. The common-sense
thing to do is to determine now how
we can help tighten this burden for
ourselves and for others who are al
ready carrying about as much as they
can bear. There are many well-to-do
families in every community who are
not inconvenienced by the increased
prices of foodstuffs, but this burden
bears heavily on their poorer neigh
bors. Therefore it is the duty of the
well-to-dO to economize in food and to
forbid all waste of it in their house
holds in order to make 1t more plent-
full for others.
This year America must feed itself
and share it's food with all its allies,
and the chances are that prices will
soar again. There may not be just
enough to go all round, and some
people will then go hungry. 1t is un-
patriotic and unchristian to waste food
now, and every housewife can best
show her patriotism by conserving 1t
in every way known to her.

Method in His Madness.

A story is brought from Camp Funs-
ton, says the Kansas City Star: A
young draft soldier paced the parade
ground alone. STOPPING suddenly he
picked up a small block of wood, stud
led it moment, and cast 1t aside with
the remark: "That amt it." Walk
ing farther, he stopped and brought up
scrap Of paper, scanned 1t, and
threw it away, again saying: "That
amt It," A third pause a minute
later brought his attention to a cigar
cite stub, but close scrutiny brought
the same rejection, "That amt It."
His captain stood within hearing,
watching the draft soldier closely. 1t
was apparent the young mans men
tally was wavering. The guard was
called and the patient was sent to the
hospital. The next day the captain
went to the hospital with the patients
discharge papers. On their delivery,
the sufferer held the papers up to the
light, examined them closely, and then
announced:
That's it."

cantonment Road Building.

A record breaking piece Of road
building recently was completed in
connection with the army cantonment
at Louisville, says an exchange, which
continues:
"This is one of the few military es-
Establishments that have built perm0-
nent roads. In 63 working days the
contractor completed 63.360 square
yards of Trinidad asphaltic concrete
highway laid on a concrete base, or
about six miles of road IS feet wide
A mile Of the road was over a four
foot fill, and Immediately upon Its
completion a traffic count showed that
1000 vehicles passed over it within
the first hour. Most Of these vehicles
were motor trucks and wagons carry
ing loads from one to five tons. The
record is all the more remark
able in view of the fact that 1t was
necessary to haul and crush all the
stone used in the work"

FARMERS join FORCES
Twelve Thousand Cooperative
Associations Formed.
Grain Elevators and Warehouses Con-
troIIed by Growers Do Annual
Business of $234,529,716.

Farmers creameries and cheese fac
tories and farmers elevators are the
leading types of cooperative purchas-
ing and marketing enterprises among
farmers in the United States, accord
ing to a survey made by experts Of the
Office of markets and rural organiza-
tion of Uncle Sans department Of ag-
riculture.
The number Of farmers purchasing
the marketing organizations in the
United States is placed at about 1900.
The creameries and cheese factories
are said to do an annual business Of
$S3 3,360,64S, and to have an average
membership of 83 farmers. The farm
ers' grain elevators and warehouses do
total annual business of 1924, 500, 716.
They have an average membership OF
102 farmers. The 81 fruit and pro-
duce organizations do an annual bust
ness of $14O629,91S.
Minnesota leads the states in the
number Of purchasing and marketing
organizations among farmers. OF the

Fruit and produce associations are
the chief forms of cooperative activ'

| 60 per cent of the organizations handle
fruit and produce. Cotton associations
lead in Texas, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia; fruit and pro-

Uncle Sam Needs Gasoline.

One-half of the gasoline used in the
United States (1,25O,000,000 gallons) is
used in pleasure riding. 1t is estimat-
ed that the United States army will
need 350,O000OO gallons for airplanes,
trucks, automobile tractors and other
machines. There is no way Of obtain
ing this in this country except by saw
ing from the existing supply, and this
economy may be procured by volun-
tary cutting down Of pleasure riding
(for instance, the man who takes his
family out on Sunday for a 5O-milc
ride can cut this in half). 1t has been
estimated that by economical use
enough gasoline can be saved to sup
ply not only the United States but
also it's allies for war purposes.-Sci7

If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or If we want to increase
our chances for long life, DR.. Pierce of
the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, says
that you should drink plenty Of water
daily between meals. Then procure at
your nearest drug store Anuric double
strength). This An-u-ric drives the uric
acid out and cures backache and rheuma-
tism.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition a diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once a day,
is the most suitable. Drink plenty of
pure water. take Anuric three times a day
for a month.
Step into the drug store and ask for
60c package Of Anuric, or send DR..
Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric many
times more potent than lithia, often elm
mates uric acid as hot water melts SUI
gar. A short trial will convince you.

Archie Boxhill. Albert Quincy Nc
Gee and Sam Vinegar, Negroes, are
on trial in the United States dis
trict court on the charge of illegally
importing smoking opium into the
United States from Canada.
II is alleged that the drug was
disguised as harmless and tooth
some syrup. Boxhill and MCGEE, it
lis charged. arrived in Windsor on
April Q. with two travelling bags
filled with 80 small cans Of syrup.
They were suspected OF attempting
10 smuggle and were arrested, but
were soon released. They continued
on 70 Detroit. but they left their
bags in Windsor. The following day
Vinegar went over and brought the
bags to Detroit where he was ar.
rested
An examination showed that -
of the small cans actually contained
syrup, but the fiftieth appeared to
have been tempered with. II was
opened and was found to contain a
substance that was not syrup. A
board OF health chemist made an
analysis and pronounced the con-
tents smoking opium. The can con-
tanned about one pound.
