Women who sew well find needle
work among the pleasantest of Occu-
pations during the long, warm days OF
midsummer. II is a good time IN
which to make up undermuslins and
grace the sheer soft materials that are
used these days for underclothes with
hand sewing and fancy stitches. These
harmoniZe with the dainty fabrics
used better than machine work.
Only lightweight and sheer weaves
of cotton and silk concern the maker
of underwear in these times. The
choice lies among soft, washable silks
and satins, including much crepe de
chine and other wash silks, ana
batiste, cotton crepe and nainsook. In
silks, crepe de chine Is the favorite ana
In cottons, batiste. Both these are
liked In light pink and flesh color as
well as they are in white, and 1t Is
likely that the number of garments
made in pink exceeds that made In
white. The favorite finish for crepe
de chine is Val or cluny lace. French
knots, hemstltching, fine tucks and n
little embroidery. Recently consider

dresses.

Hot summer days upset the
strong stomachs as well as weak
ones.
Your vital forces reach their
lowest level when the weather is
the hottest. Then the danger is
the greatest.
You can't guard your stomach
and bowels too carefully through
the long, hot season. Don't take
any chance. Indigestion, sour
stomach, that wretched, bloated
feeling, belching, food repeating,
pains that claw at stomach and
bowels and an endless train Of
stomach ills that make life mis-
erable are greatly aggravated in
the hot weather.
This year OF all others-it is
vital that we keep our strength
and full power at work. sThe ex-
ira war work, change of diet-all
must be looked after because they
hit us in the stomach. And now

WEAK KIDNEYS MEAN
A WEAK BODY

When you're fifty, your body begins to
>reak little at the hinges. Motion is
more slow and deliberate. Not so young
as l used to be" is frequent and unwel-
come thought. Certain bodily functions
upon which good health and good spirits
so much depend, are impaired. The weak
spot is generally the bladder. Unpleasant
symptoms show themselves. Painful and
annoying complications in other organs
arise This is particularly true with el-
derly people. If you only know how, this
trouble can be obviated.
For over 200 years GOLD MEDAL
Haarlem Oil has been relieving the in
convenisnce and pain due 70 advancing
years. 1t is a standard, oldtime home
remedy, and needs no introduction. 1t is
now put up in odorless, tasteless capsules.
These are easier and more pleasant to take
than the oil in bottles.
Each capsule contains about one dose Of
five drops. Take them just like you would

"THE SNAKY PEACE"-A FABLE
BY EUGENE II. BLAKE
of the viuiiantes,

A snake having invited a tame squir-
rel to play on the ground and enjoy
the fallen acorns, swallowed the little
animal half down before II knew what
had happened.
But the squirrel catching its breath,
twisted around and caught the snakes
neck.
"The squirrel attacked me-" the
snake managed to say to man who
had come up with stick to see what
the trouble was.
LET the man decide what Is Just"
the squirrel offered, land we will abide
by it."
The snake objected: 'T must, as
things stand today, in the name of the
Serpentine Power. decline this court
as prejudlced."
The squirrel asked what the snake
would agree to.
"An intimate meeting for discussion
would be the way to remove the nu-
merous intentional or unintentional
MISUNDERSTANDING. Let us crawl into
this hollow log where we can't be an
noyed by outsiders and / will cheer
fully disgorge and return to the stntus
quo ante" ,,4s sgs r' 'isNs.s'A'''
Just iiS soon rs the belligereLss had
got out of sight in the log and The
snake could finish annexing the rest
of the squirrel, its fnngs darted out of
knot-h hole and sank Into the mans
foot.
Back-fire: The world had better
have a look in at the peace conference.

All the long procession of maids,
from kindergarten tot to college girl,
will be fittingly clad this fall In SIM
pie and substantial clothes. Whether
It is because of the war or for other
reasons, the new frocks for children
are unusually plain and they are the
forerunners of fall styles. 1t is un-
likely that anything very different will
follow them for they are tastefully de-
signed. School outfits may be got un-
derway now with success assured since
all straws that show which way the
winds of fashion blow, point toward
simplicity of design as dominant fea-
ture of coming styles.
Furthermore, 1t is the part of pa
triotism TO make over and use again
all wooden clothes. Dresses that can
not be remodeled for grown people will
serve in place of new goods for max
Ing children's frocks and this con-
servation of wooden materials is some
thing to be proud of. AT the right of
the picture above there is dark serge
frock for a girl of eight years or more
which has every requirement of sue
cessful school dress and suggests a
model for made-over dress. 1t has
a plain bodice and plated skirt. 1t
is frightened with white braid and
has two very practical pockets. But
what will delight its wearer more are
its soldierly touches in the shoulder
straps and narrow strap that extends
The Ordway new era., 1918-08-02

from the belt over the right shoulder
to the belt again. Any of the dark
colors in wool dress goods will look
well made In this way.
The frock ut the left is successful In
either wool or cotton. 1t is pictured
made of plain chambray with bandings
and collar of white pique. Its new
features appear in the band on one
sleeve In the management of the col
lar and In the slit pocket at the right
side of the skirt.

Mrs. Flanagan was doubtful about
the new patent carpet sweeper, but
the traveller was expert in singing Its
praises, sni the result was that she in

and he called ON Mrs. Flanagan and
asked:
"How do you find the new carpet
sweeper working, madam? Far bet

And the canteen girl knew. because
she spent tho previous Christmas in
an artillery camp somewhere in
France" So this year the French
children are included in the festivities
as a matter OF course.
The hut where the canteen girl
