Studied U. S. Methods.
In order TO supplement the work OF
the National Association formed In
France, under the patronage OF the
President OF the French Republic,
to stem the scourge OF tuberculosis
which is taking toll OF the French
nation, the Duke de Richelieu, who
was compelled to leave the army
through i'll health, has been in the
United States studying the organiza-
ton and methods which have enabled
us to fight the white plague with
conspicuous success. The Duchess
de Richelieu, formerly Miss Dorothy
Wise, OF Baltimore, who has the dis
only pupil, is deyoting her lovely
voice entirely to the cause OF the un-
fortunate victims of tuberculosis.
A French Tuberculous Soldiers Re
JET Committee has been formed in
New York, under the direction OF the
French consul general, and to this
the proceeds OF the Duchess de Rich
elieu's recital will go. The work OF
the parent organization. the "Comite
d'Assistance aux Militaires Tubercu-
leuX." which is under the direct SUI
pervision OF the French government,
includes curative work among the
thousands OF soldiers who have be-
come infected with the plague and
educational work directed toward
preventing the further spread OF the
disease. Government sanitoria are
maintained in various parts OF
France and the immediate object OF
the American committee Is to in
crease the number OF beds. in these
hospitals.
The Duchess de Richelleu, with her
accompaniSt will be at the >Shoreham
during their stay in Washington and
tho duke will stay with Colonel and
Mrs. Archibald Hopkins. Tickets for
the recital may be had from Mrs.
Hopkins, 1876 Massachusetts, avenue.

Only few OF the coats and wraps

designing. For one thing. designers
restrict the amount Of materials to be
used to definite lengths that do not
allow anything for merely decorative
additions to these wraps. and for an
other-simplicity is the fashion; the
public generally likes 1t.
One exception to the rule that al
lows scant measure of goods for a
coat appears in the handsome model
shown at the right in the illustration
above. This is n heavy, castor-colored
garment of pom pom cloth. with a
shawl collar and deep cuffs of otter.

count Of his vast wealth was Stephen
Girard- OF the financial dynasties Of
today only the Astors and vanderbilts

the fortune Of the distinguished Phiia-

this money he left to the city of Phila-

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

IN examining physician for one
OF the prominent lie insurance
companies, in an interview OF the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why so many
applicants for insurance are reject
ed is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people,
and the large majority of those
whose applications are declined do
nor even suspect that they have the
disease.
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
ceSSiul in overcoming these condi-
tions. The mild and healing infu-
ence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
Is soon realized. 1t stands the high
est for its remarkable record of sue
cess.
We find that Swamp Root is
strictly an herbal compound and
we would advise our readers who
feel in need OF such a remedy to give
1t trial. 1t is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles of two sizes. me

school had been established in the

large number belonging to the club
there showed that the effort of the
citizens OF that part OF the county
in securing education for their chill

And so it was from every section
OF the county, not only in the way
OF general education for the chill

that the work being done in the
organization OF these boys and
girls clubs is bringing satisfactory
results not only in teaching the
boys and girls to be producers OF
food, but in that their parents are

the entire farming community OF the
county receives the benefits.
