KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re.
jected is because kidney trouble is SO com.
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad.
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it a trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer q Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

At the moment of writing, our gov
eminent has not put an embargo on
the amount of material to be used in
each gown. Germany and France have
both done this, and those who are in
Paris say that the French dressmakers
have taken the keenest delight in fol-
lowing the decree. A quantity of ma
terial in a gown has never appealed
to a French designer, and with the gov
eminent behind the elimination of fab
RIGS, each of the gowns turned out this
year shows originality of conception
and treatment in achieving an artistic
result with a very few meters of cloth.
The French Silhouette.
A few of the American clothes
which were designed before the
French silhouette was thoroughly ac-
cepted have taken their place a lit
tie behind the front row of fashions
because they look bunglesOme. Here
is the French silhouette as the best
dressed Americans have adopted it A:
A slim underskirt made in one piece
that runs from the cOllarbOne nearly
to the ankle in a street frock, and
from bust to within six inches of the
ankle in an evening gown. 1t is mere
ly the skeleton of the gown, but on
it are draped the few remaining
yards of fabric that are allowed to
complete the work.
Therefore, it is quite fashionable to
use transparent material for the af-
ternoon and evening, in order ia
slow the slim little slip beneath. II
is not necessary that the transparent
fabric used over. this slip should be
cut off to correspond. 1t may rise
to the shoulders and drop to the in
step, and in that very alluring trans
parency, you get the East Indian eff
feet.
The statement may be taken as au-
thoritative that whatever gown has

brown bread, bran bread, rye, and bar
ley will give us a variety from which
to choose. When preparing the
breakfast oatmeal a larger quantity
Will cook nearly as soon, and the left
over amount may be put into a we'll
creased pan, and when cold cut in neat
slices. This If fried nicely in sweet
fat makes most wholesome hot dish
which will take the place of meat. We
all know the value of cOrnmeal mush,
both as a cereal and as a breakfast
dish sliced and fried. Nuts, fruit, or
bits of meat added to the hot mush
make it more palatable and more nour-
fishing.
In most of the breads q little wheat
flour is essential to keep the materials
together and when yeast is used to
provide the gluten to hold in the gases
so that the bread will rise.
Rice Muffins.-Sift together half
cupful of cOrnmeal, a cupful of pastry,
half teaspoonful Of salt, four tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, two ia
blespoonfuls of sugar. Beat one egg
and one egg yolk, add half cupful of
milk, and when we'll mixed with the
dry ingredients, add three tablespoon
fuls of melted shortening with a cup
full of boiled rice. Bake in we'll but
tered muffin pans rs minutes. The
rice should be boiled tender and be
quite moist.
When serving rice in various ways
care should be taken to see that 1t is
well done, as 1t is pnwholesome I'M
der done.
Bran Bread.-Scald cupful of milk,
add two Tablespoonful Of shortening,
half teaspOonful of salt and three
tableSpOOnfuls of molasses. When
lukewarm add a cake Of yeast soft
ened in a quarter Of a cupful of water,
add one cupful Of entire wheat flour
and bran to make soft dough. Do
not knead. Let stand we'll covered I'M

Ice Is a large item In many house

wrap the ice in newspapers and keep
few folded and laid over the ice,
which saves wasting.

Reason Behind
Each New Style

New York.-Everything that was in
vented in clothes this year had rea-
son. Skirts are narrow because the
French government limited the use of
cloth to five meters. They are minus
fasteners because these accessories
were difficult to get and wartime &C
tivities demanded a speedy method of
dressing, so frocks were made to go
over the head and tie around the body
In a primitive fashion.
Certain dyes were exploited because
there were no others to be had.

Most Dominant Fashion.
The most dominant fashion pro-

This is quite as primitive as in days
when Melisande lived, loved and died.
A year ago, the reporters who study
clothes intently and with an inside
knowledge of scarcity of certain ma
terials prophesied that the near fu-
ture would bring about wOmen's
clothes that were fashioned to be adj

up some trial balloons in gowns that
