WOMEN SUFFERERS may

Thousands upon thousands Of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in q healthy

gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..

scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

In the last exhibitions Of styles In
the fall there appeared some unusual
combinations Of cloth In dresses,
among them broadcloth and linen in
handsome ''fiapper" frocks, that proved
very attractive. The idea is coming to
the front again in the displays Of
spring apparel for little girls, as well
as in clothes for their elders. Aside
from this there is very little that is
altogether new In spring styles for
children.
Fancy stitching, French knots and
shocking appear to be the main rell-
ance of designers in the matter Of dec
orative touches for the small girls
frock. Voiles and the finer chambrays
lend themselves to shocking so well
that one is always running across 1t.
Narrow frills Of white Organdie used as
a finish on collar and cuffs, pockets
and girdle are another strong factor in
decorative schemes. The frills have
picot edges and are wonderfully dainty.
They are used with chambray mostly,
and on the plain colors like pink, blue,
tan and corn color.

Tea LONG Used In China.

Tea was used and cultivated in
China as far back as the third CEN
tury, A. D., but 1t was not until the
twelfth century that 1t became known
in Japan, when an abbot Of Budd-
hist monastry learned about 1t in
China where It's virtues were already
we'll known. Obtaining seed, he planted
some near Kyoto. In later years some
of this was transplanted near Shi-
zuoka, which vicinity has ever since
been the center of the tea industry Of
Japan. 1t was not until about the
seventeenth century that tea became
generally known In Europe, when 1t
was exploited by the Dutch East In
