II is a tie between evening gowns
and negligees when we make COM
parsons and draw conclusions as to
the most fascinating things that wom-
en- wear. The negligee may adopt
any style it will, be of any gay color 1t
likes, follow no set fashion, for it Is
one garment at least in which any
woman may indulge her fancy-if 1T is
whimsical so much the better. 1t is
for the eyes Of her household and she

The lovely negligee which has a
representation to many eyes here. must

male pink satin, with wide border OF
heavy lace about the bottom of the

with band Of lace across the bust. The
skirt portion of the slip appears to be

The satin slip with picot edge at
the bottom makes a brilliant founda-

easy to tell about. Every negligee

WASH THE KIDNEYS!

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. BY some mys-
ferrous process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good-workmen and become congeSted-
pOiSonS accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbago, rheu-
matism or govt. The urine is often
cloudy, full of sediment channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
SO it is that DR.. Pierce, of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y, advises "Washing the Kidneys"
by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then if you want
to take harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
Ing symptoms, go to your druggist and
get Anuric double strength), for 60c.
This "Anuric," which is so many times
more potent than lithia-will drive out
the uric acid poisons and battle the kid
neys and channels in a soothing liquid.
If you desire, write for free medical
advice and send sample Of water for
free examination. Experience has
taught Doctor Pierce that "Anuric" is
most powerful agent in dissolvinS
uric acid, as hot water melts sugar.
Send DIR. Pierce 10c for trial package.

SHOT DEER FOR BREAKFAST
Old Timer Missourian Writes of Pc
riod When Game Was Plentiful
Where Now Cities Stand.

Samuel Cole, who came to central
Missouri a boy, told these hunting
stories:
"When ] was about twelve years old
| started one morning to hunt for
game. My brothers had an old flint
lock rifle, which ] carried with me. 1t
was large and heavy gun, and was
SO heavy that / could not shoot 1t
without using a rest. l came up the
river, keeping near the bank, until /
got to where the courthouse now
stands In Boonville. Under the trees,
which then covered the ground in the
courthouse yard, saw five deer. stand
ing together. l selected one of the
finest looking ones and fired. At the
crack of my gun he fell but when
went up to where he was, he jumped
to his feetA and would have followed
the other deer towards the river, had
not rushed up and caught hold of him,
putting my arms under his neck. He
paved me with his sharp hOofs and
horned me--his hoofs making an ugly
cash in my thigh and his horns strlk-
ing me on the forehead. The marks OF
both hoofs and horns I carry with me
today. I held the deer until my dog
came up. l then loaded the gun ana
shot him again, this time killing him.
This was the first deer l ever killed,
and although it was dangerous I'M
dertaking, the experience only spurred
me on to gather trophies of similar
character.
~ killed five bears just below the
town--where Boonville now stands
and killed twenty-five bears in
three days. killed four elk
in less than one hour. There were
few buffaloes in the country
when 1 came, but these were
soon killed or driven further west
ward. I never killed a buffalo, but
caught FIVE calves of a small herd near
Pettis county line. 1 have seen as
many as thirty deer at one sight at
Prairie Lick. One day 1 went out upon
the prairie, in the spring of the year,
and saw about twenty deer-all lying
down except one; this one was SEN
tinel for the herd. l approached With
in three hundred yards of them and
then took my handkerchief, which
was large red bandana, and fastened
It to a stick, and shook it a little
above my head, when they all sprang
to their feet and came toward me. A
deer has much curiosity, and they were
determined to find out, If they could,
what the red handkerchief meant.
When one of the largest of the number
came within gunshot distance l shot
and killed it. 1 often repeated the
handkerchief ruse with great success.
1 have killed and carried to the house
three deer before breakfast. From
"Missourians of One Hundred Years
Ago." by Walter B. Stevens.

Food Cnnsun1ntion.

Studies of the monthly per rapita
consumption of wheat, meat, fat and
sugar in the United States and In Eu-
ropean countries, show that, in gen.
eral, people in the United States eat
the most per person. The German
sugar ration for 1916-1917 was hardly
more than one-tenth Of our consump-
ton and in meats we consumed almost
six times as much as the Germans
were allowed. France is on a slightly
more liberal diet than Germany, yet
the French sugar ration is only IL
pounds per month per person, as CON-
pared with IA pounds in the United
States. England, though commonly
considered a country Of hearty eat
ers, uses even less fat than France, and
is about midway between France and
the United States as regard meat and
sugar consumption.

PecuIiarities of Rirdmen.

That aviators have their own Pc
culiarities in driving and can be iden-
tilted as certainly as the telegraph
sender can be recognized by the story
told here by Lieut.. r. G.. Searson
of Pittsburgh, now a member of the
ROYAL Canadian Flying corps.
"When Major Bishop, the American
flyer, who has won so much fame at
the French front, takes the air." said
Searson, che can be easily identified.
The machine moves with the instinct
of bird, so graceful and devoid OF
Jerks is the movement. When Capt.
Vernon Castle mounts, even if one does
not see him enter the machine before
he rises, his presence is betrayed by
the planes peculiar display Of dancing
in the air, as we call it."

BREAKS COIN MAKING RECORD
to Meet the Demand for
Small Coins.

Denver.-The Denver government
mint is working day and night to meet
the demand for pennies and other
small coins caused by the "odd"
change necessary in the payment Of
the new war taxes. Exactly 19,004,000
pieces were coined during November.
This was O record-breaker for the Den
yer mint. The superintendent said to-
day the record for December is the
greatest in the history of the mint.
Excepting December 65,309,S00 coins
we've minted in 1917, the largest in
denomination being 50-cent pieces.

JUST A REINCARNATED BIRD
If You Feel an ExhiIarating Desire to
Soar Among Clouds, That Is
Your Sphere.

Los Angeles.-H you are an aviator
or feel an exhilarating desire to soar
among the clouds you are a reincar-
mated bird and your natural sphere is
in the air, according to Mrs. Leon ID.
Mumford, well-known actress here.
She says many men and women have
bird souls and that a reincarnated
snake could never be at home off the
ground.
Mrs. Mumford, known to her friends
as 'Billie," made her first flight at
Long island several years ago. She
is planning to desert the stage for the
airplane. ''The reason u.s." she ex-
planned, "when am in the air feel as
if had gotten home after long abb
sence."

Remembers the Doctor.

Indianapolis.-The estate of Samuel
Warden, known here as Miser Sam,
has been settled. Warden was sup
posed to be poverty-stricken, but was
found to have securities and property
worth more than $4,000, most Of which
goes to heirs in England. Warden lived
many years in shack. He left st.
vincent's hospital $4,000 and a German
home for orphans $4,000. To a ply
sician who was kind to him he gave a
valuable piece of real estate.
