To the younger set
Every girl is entitled to her share of
the little joys Of youth, and an eve
ming dress means much in her young
life Naturally evening dress for the
youthful Is, or ut least seems, simple.
Nobody wants to see "the girl he
left behind him" sit down in dull APP
athy because her lad has gone TO the
war. If she is down-hearted, she must
not proclaim it, and nothing will heart
en- her more than her share of pretty
clothes. Besides the wheels of bust
ness must be kept going.
The lovely dancing frock shown in
the picture is warranted to contain
nothing that might be better used by
the shiverng French and Belgians.

bright green satin under bodice of

Thrifty mothers who take advan-
tage of winter days spent indoors to
prepare for summer days spent out-of-
doors will welcome these spring mod
els i'm everyday summer dresses for
little girls. They are made of the same
reliable and familiar cotton goods that
have made place for themselves that
nothing seems able to usurp. Striped
bingham and plain chambray lend their
established popularity to promote the
success of the two practical little
frocks illustrated. II almost goes
without saying that nine out of ten
dresses for the everyday wear of little
folks are made OF these fabrics.

was due at the city the next day on my
first test case. OF course l represent

it would be great start in promis-

Briefly, the case was this: Adam
Moore, lifelong client of the firm,
had died. and the week following dis
reputable mining promoter presented
his note for thirty-five thousand dol
lars, due on demand, for half inter-
est in a patent of no value, hawked
around the market unsuccessfully for
some years. The promoter showed
also signed agreement proving the
deal. This was duly attestcd by II
Stcnographer and notary public, Miss
Elsa Deane.
There was no doubt but that Mr..
Moore had held some correspondence
with the promoter. but the daughter
and legatee of Mr.. Moore declared that
upon the day note and agreement were
dated, her father was automobiling
two hundred miles distant and could
not have been in the city on that day.
Further, although the signature was
well counterfeited. it was Il forgery.

AN ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, n. Y, offer to send sam
pie size bottle of Swamp Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need of it. Regular medi-

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces

caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube Is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to Its nor

forever. Many cases OF Deafness are
