AN ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN weakened CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
oeen kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in a rum
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which 80 many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send a sam
pie size bottle of Swamp Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need of it. Regular medi.
UNI and large size bottles, for sale at
all druggists. Be sure to mention this
paper.-Adv.

Straight and Draped Skirt.

There Is a strong struggle going on
between the straight and the draped
skirt. Both are leading fashions and
neither one is new, but the ultra-smart
woman insists that the draped skirt is
better than the straight one, and she
is upheld by many of the dressmakers.
On the other hand. there are hundreds
of women who say that the draped
skirt has been so featured in cheap
materials in low-priced gowns that 1t
is exceedingly commonplace. The
struggle makes skirts interesting and
incidentally adds to the confusion Of
the season, which has turned out to be
an arena into which. hundreds of fash
ions have been Unfortunately thrown.

In this group of three hats there are
three classes represented by fine ex-
amples of their kinds. There is a
graceful, soft model for street wear,
in white and black; a dressy, pictur-
esQue affair in transparent black, and
a bit of subdued gayety in a high
pink, bonnetlike shape made of crepe
georgette This is reserved millinery
following in the wake of the modes at
a modest distance from extremes. But
each hat is a gem that will bear COM
parison with any others of its kind
and interesting because Of its individ-
ual style.
In street hats there are not so many
soft models, fashion having swung to-
ward the trim, sprightly, spirited
STYLES. But there is so much class in
this bit Of headwear that it can at
ford to be different from the majority.
It is of white yedda braid faced with
black satin and has collar of narrow,
black satin ribbon, finished with a
small bow at the back. Under the bow
the soft crown is tackled to the brim
and at the front pair of small, black
wings are convincingly chic. The hat
speaks French and if it were not for
the war we would be sure to credit
Paris with it.
The pretty black hat, with braid
crown and brim of machine, is a type
that every woman admireS and all
women, young or otherwise, can wear

 Harry James Smiths death is mourned by the theatrical world to an extent you can little realize. Here was a truly great man, a man who wrote from his heart and who did his work not that he might profit, but that the stage might be uphftcd, and that tho influence of his own great personality might be felt by the stage. To saN that the stage has benefited by his connection with it is unnecessary, for anN other result would be Impossible.
