Women's complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble,
or the result Of kidney or bladder

organs to become diseased.
Pain In the back, headache, loss Of
ambition, nervousness, are often

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water

acid stomach, you must battle on the
inside like you battle outside. This
is vastly more important, because the
skin pores do not absorb impurities
into the blood, while the bowel pores
do, says well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins

kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, q glass OF hot
water with a teaspoonful OF lime

Get a quarter pound Of limestone
phospate from your pharmacist. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except q sourish twfnge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-

they fit like cuirasses.

II was In France much later that
the women OF a gay court thought II

splendid coat worn by the kings, and
from that hour dated the revolution in
women's clothes which resulted in the
Anglo Saxon tailored suit OF rough
cloth.
No doubt the clash OF arms in
France brought back to the minds Of
the designers the long centuries OF
warfare that had preceded the peace
OF 1871. The tunic was the funda-
mental part OF the British warriors
costume, and the cuirass was the sym
Dol OF all fighters. So France intro
duced the tunic CT that other and
primitive warfare which she thought
had gone forever. and suddenly found
one August morning that it had come
to her with all the cruelty OF the early
centuries.
She did her best TO enforce this
tunic into the fashions Of other coun-
tries, but with small measure OF sue
cess until late this autumn. After
steady persistence, a trick she has in
the making OF all her forms OF art, the
least of which is fashion, she found
that America had suddenly awakened

belt that fastens about the waist
under the straight hanging panels.
These panels are weighted with
tassels or with bead embroidery.
Sometimes they are heavily stitched
with soutache braid in matching color.
The fabric OF the blouse is either
Georgette or combination OF either
taffeta or latin.
Some of the blouses hang below the
hips and are loosely fastened in at the
waist line with what is called the
string girdle-merely a strip of the
fabric OF the blouse about an inch and
half wide. Sometimes metallic
cord is used for the string and some
times a cord made of strands of col
ored beads that match embroidery OF
the blouse.
Tailored taffeta blouses OF the regu-
lation tuck-in kind are always a good
choice for the woman who spends part
OF her time working in one OF the war
organizations. They are made with
snug cuffs and becoming collars that
roll away from the neck at the back
and form a V-lne in trent. They
depend for their effectiveness on cut
and quality and on the little details
such as a neat cuff and an interesting
closing line or smart buttons at the
