The big black hat knows nothing Of
warning favor, either for summer or
winter. One of the pretty and simple
summer models is shown in the pic
ture. 1t is of black satin with a wide
border of fancy hairbraid about the
edge which is bound with satin. A
long sweep of slender feathers and a
little emplacement of ribbon make a
trimming exactly suited to the shape.
A large and picturesque hat is of
white g]eorgette crepe with a border

about the crown, with the small roses

finished with a border of white feath-

worn at almost any time and any

THE RED CROSS-
WHAT
~CharlesL Lee Bryson

S NOW constituted, the American Red Cross is but IL years
old. 1t was chartered by congress in 1905, and is protected
by various laws passed since that date. But it owes its
existence to the convention of Geneva, held in 1868, and the
treaty-often called the Red Cross treaty-of 1864, at which
a number of civilized nations agreed that each should form
an organization for the relief of the wounded in war, and that
this organization of each should be respected by all the others.
The most powerful immediate force making for this
treaty was a little paper written by Henri Dunant, a Swiss,
describing the horrors of the battlefield of Solferino. He
visited that battlefield after the French, italian and Austrian
over It and had left 10000 wounded to die uncared for.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1917-07-14

Very briefly stated, the American Red Gross 10 an
organization to relieve human suffering, and il, aim is to
prepare, in time of peace and quiet, for its relief work
in war, disaster or pestilence.
It works under the protection and with the aid of the
government, and, being International in its scope, is rec
ognized by and works in harmony with similar organi-
cations in all civilized countries. But its strength comes
from the people directly, who give of their time,
their money and their lives to it.
Its reason for being is the same that has called into
existence our hospitals, our a~syluIns, our charity orgAni-
nations - even our physicians - because it stands for a
work which must be done and which cannot be done
except by preparation in advance. Until the Red Gross
was organized, the wounded on the battlefield and the
victims of civil disaster alike had to go without care until
amateur relief could be organized after the need had
become imperative.

EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take glass of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek. relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for q few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney flush
ing any time.

ALMOST ENTIRE FAILURE
OF CROPS IN GERMANY
Worst Year Country Has Ever Known
Is Prediction Made-Condition
Worse Than Ever.

London, June 19-Dispatches from
Amsterdam say that the Dutch news
paper, Ribe Stiftstidende, which
throughout the war has been well
informed on German matters, prints
an article on the crop outlook in Ger
many, predicting almost complete crop
failure.
The newspaper declares that the
yield this year will be far less than
Germany ever knew. 1t explains that
an unprecedentedly long drought in
Germany is continuing. The drought
has ruined the grass, and greatly re-
duced the possible yield of grains and
vegetables even if normal conditions
prevailed.
But, the article says, conditions are
worse than ever before because the
farming is conducted largely by wom-
en- and prisoners, and the blowing
shallow, and poorly done. CONNER
cial fertilizers are lacking entirely, and
the fertilizer proving worthless be-
cause the live stock was fed improp-
erly. The sowing, too, was late, part
ly because of the late spring, partly
because of the lack of labor, and it
was badly done because of the unskill-
ed labor. In northern Prussia the SOW
Ing has not commenced, which is
equivalent to assurance that there
will be almost no crop. In many
provinces the grass is entirely with
cred and the turnips, an important
vegetable, are devastated by weeds,
insects and drought.

GRIDDLE CAKE SUPPLY
LARGE ONE THIS YEAR

Consumers of griddle cakes! Word
has gone out that Wisconsin farmers
this year are listening to the voice
of the shreWd Guinea hen, the bur
den of whose call is
''Buckwheat! Buckwheat!"
Not since 1889-9O, when the buck
wheat acreage of wisconsin reached
it's highest point, and the fame Of
Badger buckWheat flour spread to all
the kitchens of the Northwest, has
there been such an apparent state
wide interest in this important,
ShOrtseasOn cereal.
According to the most recent map
Of the United States department of
agriculture, Wisconsin is one Of the
few states in the country which is
depended upon to grow buckwheat
The New England group, some of
the Middle Atlantic states, and the
North and South Central divisions,
comprising in all about % states,
represent the favored buckwheat
areas.
On newly cleared or recently
drained spots, Or on sandy sections
of a farm, this quick maturing cereal
will make good returns. Further,
buckwheat is a handy catch crop to
use where corn or other field crops
fail.
From June 10 to June rs is said to
be the proper time for sowing buck
wheat, the two most suitable varie-
ties for this state being the Silver
Hull and Japanese. Thorough cult
walton of the ground before planting
is advised in ''Why Not Buck
wheat?" a circular issued by the
Agricultural Extension service, Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Harvest time is usually deter
mined by the number of ripened
seeds. The cereal is shocked like
any other grain, and threshed with
an ordinary separator.
AS large wisconsin mills have
been obliged lately to send outside
of the state for buckwheat. there
seems to be no danger of an over
supply or of not finding ready
market through local Dealers In
case of doubt about dispOsing Of a
contemplated acreage of this crop,
farmers are being invited to write
to the Agricultural Experiment sta
ton for complete information. "A
