and does more than any laxative on the
market today. The thousands of letters
from users have convinced me was right,
and that the user of Natare'S Remedy as a
family medicine, even though he may have
used it for twenty-five years, never has
to increase the dose.
My knowledge OF medicine and the re-
suits of it's use in my own family and
among my friends, before ever offered it
for sale, caused me to have great faith in
Natures Rsnisdy from the very first.
And now as I find myself nearing the age
when I must bow to the inevitable and go
to another life, my greatest pleasure is to
sit each day and read the letters that each
mail brings from people as old or older
than /, who tell OF having used Natures
Remedy for ten, fifteen and twenty years,
and how they and their children and
grandchildren have been benefited by it
1t is consoling thought, my friends, for
a man at my age to feel that aside from
his own success, one has done something
for his fellow man. My greatest satisfac-
tion, my greatest happiness today, is the
knowledge that tonight more than one
million people will take Natures Remedy
(NR Tablet and will be better, healthier,
happier people for it. / hope you will
be one Of them.

though they spent an immense amount
of money out Of pure good will and TAX

thought they were compelled to give
them; but they assert themselves as

Test Soldiers Brains.

The psychological and brain tests to
which our enlisted men are being sub
jected are something new in military
tactics. In other wars men were not
put into the ranks if they showed
noticeable signs of mental infrmity
Now they do not stop with asking if
he is crazy, but they go further and
determine by established tests whether
he is apt to go crazy if exposed to the
strain and shock of battle. Doctor Cor
gas instituted this new examination,
and under it many men have been
turned back from the path to "over
there" and detailed to some phase of
government. service lover here" They
are not generally told why the change
is made, but are expected to give sol
dierly obedience to the order. To tell
them would be to set up a state of
self-suspicion that would be very
harmful. - Memphis Commercial APP

Get New Kidneys !

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when
they fail in their work of f~iltering out and
throwing off the poisons. developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton: irritation. or even stone in the .blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady. Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules. and
save Yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has. been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney. bladder and urinary troubles.
1t is the pure, original HARLEM Oil vour
great-grandmother used. About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store, and
if it does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. Be
sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.

A Girlish Frock by Doueillet-It is
made of dark blue taffeta, with round
neck and short baby sleeves. The
decoiletage Is trimmed with gold
braid, and this is repeated at one
side of the skirt, where it ends in
several gold roses.
the slight hustle and the bias folds 60
ing upward from the knee to the back.
1t is claimed that a French designer
sent to this country for twelve of these
sketches, and adopted the hustle in def
erence to American wishes. Good evil
dence for the truth of this statement
Is shown in the hustle which a certain
French house has sent to this country.
Another piece of alteration that is
given away by good dressmakers is
adding to a frock a narrow plain under
skirt and cutting the gown itself 10 to
II inches shorter, and letting it fall as
a tunic with a girdle over the new ad-
dition. This eliminates the flares in
the chemise robe of yesterday and
gives n the proper silhouette.
AS long as it is fashionable to wear
two or three materials in combination
n is not called upon to match the
one-time chemise gown in cloth or
color when adding a separate under
skirt over which to drop it. Black
satin goes with blue serge, beige cloth
or brown gaberdine. 1t also goes with
plaids and checks; and on the other
hand Scotch designs in wooden and
TUNES of plain material are combined
with these skirts by the best dress
makers, and therefore the amateur
sewing woman need not be timid in
making the same combination.
The prophets who spoke against the
success Of the Italian neckline should
be without honor today. The Ameri-
can woman took up this difficult neck
line Of the Renaissance with an en-
thusiasm that was most unexpected.
One might call it well nigh universal
wherever fashionably dressed women
are foregathered. 1t is not only the
ruling line in gowns for the street and
semiformal frocks for the evening, but
1t rules in separate blouses.
1t is not considered fashionable any
more to pull the collar of ones blouse
owe ones coat. Remember that. 1t
is a small touch, but a most important
one, this spring. The coat may have
its own collar of white pique batiste
or flet lace, but 1t cannot be orna-
mented with a collar that is not attach
ed to it.
1t Is not necessary to keep to white
at the neckline. Collars and cuffs are
made of white organizes and checked
ginghams; but these should not be
adopted for any hour except informal
ones.

Educate Blind Soldiers.

The ablest educators of the blind in
the country are cooperating with the
government in it's plans for the most
complete system of re-education for
blinded soldiers that has ever been
undertaken. When their education has
been perfected the committee will find
employment for soldiers and aid them
in filling their old places in the com
munity. Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett has
offered her Baltimore estate of ninety
nine acres to serve as a hospital school
for the blinded officers and men.

French Clothes
y at High Prices

Two hundred and fifty dollars was
a simple price for any gown. Two
hundred dollars was asked for a mus
lin without lace or embroidery. Callot

apiece for her evening frocks. Now
add to that the 60 per cent duty which
every merchant must pay to 'our cus
toms. There were some gowns that
cost a thousand dollars to land. What
would be the return on such clothes2
No American would buy them.

New York.-The millions who are
employed In the making Of women's ap-
parel in this country are disturbed by
an important discussion that is going
on among themselves.
1t has to do with the importation of
French clothes, with the prices asked
for all kinds of apparel, with the
Threatened abolition of the famous
French semiannual exhibitions, and
with the tendency Of the public to
ask for American clothes.
No woman should be ignorant of this
situation, asserts a prominent fashion
writer. On her shoulders, as an indi-
Sidual, which is part Of a mass, rests
much of the responsibility of the fu-
ture. In France women are the de-
cisive factors in fashion in this our
try they have not assumed that role.
With the exception of a few, they are
willing to be led. They are guided by
those in authority, and those In au-
thority are guided by Paris.
This is not true to the extent that
the reformers and the critics preach.
No one is any the worse for it. Our
country has not been in a position to
assume the leadership in fashions, any
more than in art, architecture or liter
allure. We have had to be led in all
these things; yet the very man who
goes to Paris and Italy for art is the
first one to ask his wife why she is
foolish enough to adopt the French
fashions!
If, therefore, the American women
were not free thinkers regarding
clothes, and were merely led into each
fashion by a comfortable moose that
was pulled along by the merchants
and dressmakers, it was because they
placidly felt that this was the best
path in which they should tread.
Since the war, however, there has
been a growing feeling here of indepen-
dence of Paris. All of us who firmly
believed that no country could get
along without the deciding vote of
France as to what should be done in
clothes, realized, during the first years
of the war, that our opinion was cor
rect.
Changes of Importance.
But the situation has changed, and
our beliefs have changed with it. AS
far as n can see, there is no chance
of our losing the comfort of getting
from Paris our inspiration as to the
silhouette, and we shall also get from
that country of consummate art in ap-
parel, the various movements of cloth,
the details of Ornamentation, and the
production of new tissues, which slim
ulate and enliven our work. But-and
l say that with full conviction, after
talking with people in power and with
~dressmakers, designers and merchants
who have had their hand on the pulse
of things for three years-a decided
change is coming over our method of
launching fashions.
The reasons are important, not only
to the merchant, but to each woman.
She is a thinking individual these days,
If she never was before, and she will
