The Next Federal Census


 The population of this country has in creased materially since the census of 1910 and the enumeration in 1920 will show continental United States with upward of 10000. coo That is a conservative esrI mate at least,' said John $. Dillon of St. Louis, who was for several years a clerk in the census bureau at Washington.
 Tt is natural to suppose that immi- grafton will be large after the war, and it will be quickly absorbed in all indus trial districts, where labor shortage will be even more seriously felt than it is tc. day There is great need, too, of an in : Aux of small farmers and farm laborers in many states of the union.
 Speaking of the next census, all the cities have grown, some of them at q rapid rate. I think St. Louis will enter the million class in 1920.

Tuesday 1 went with a party of friends to number of the polling places in the city and county, said Charley De- Eardeleben, and we saw some funny things.
 "At one box rural voter came up and when they handed him out one of the long tickets he looked it up and down and then took a seat at a table and went seriously and laboriously to work to fill it out. He struggled along without com- ment until he got to the candidates names for the legislature. There were so many of them that he was confused. It was up to him to cnoose seven. With long drawn out sigh he said, I don't known a durn one of them, so I'll just take the first seven.

For late summer and early fall wear
the choice of fabrics for children's
dressy frocks narrows down, as sheer
goods are more or less eliminated from
calculation. Wool has advanced until
it has reached a point where silk may
be considered on a par with it, so far
as economy is concerned. For this and
for patriotic reasons, the little miss
may as well go in silk attire as In any
thing else.
Among the new model dresses there
are taffetas, crepe de chine and fou-
lards. The taffetas are shown in plain
colors and in narrow stripes, the crepe
de chine in uniformly plain colors
and the foulards, with medium dark
grounds, have small figures in white or
in white and colors printed on them.
But, of all silks, the taffetas fill the
requirements of children's, dress in
the best manner. One of the prettiest
taffetas is shown above and is an ex-
cellent example of good designing

The sleeveless jacket, with narrow
belt and patch pockets, is in the same

skirt reveal how perfectly big buttons
fit in with the character of sport
clothes.
Large checks, broad stripes and

tons to give those who think up sport
clothes every possible chance of sue

and blouses play into their hands. and
other allies are the new heavy weaves
in silk and the fancy shaded striped
trfcots. Long, wide scarfs that may
be worn in several ways, and scarfs
that are belted and pocketed to be
worn in but one way, are made with

for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with

your system through the blood and stom-

kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-

to look after your kidneys and bladder
