ON GUARD

AT this time of the year people feel
weak, tired. listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
cecew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the eXhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood Is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water a half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such
fire reputation for fifty years. It con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t Is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
cerine and made into tablets and liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
In order to insure pure blood and to
build up the system try this tonic
known as DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Get it now!

across the front of the frock and its
shape and length are style features of
the season that characterize coats in
coat suits as well as tunics. Frocks Of
this kind usually fasten under the arm
and on the shoulder. A lace-trimmed
organdie collar and cuff set is so good
a finish for this frock that it may be
considered a necessity.

There is one consolation for soar
ing prices, for it is an undisputed fact
that the more you have to pay for an
article, even when this increased price
is no more than fair, the more consid-
crate and helpful sales people are in
serving you. Since shoe prices have
been high it is surprising how seldom
we are urged to take shoes that we do
not care for. And when we must pay
So yard for wooden goods that not
long ago we could have bought for
scarcely more than half that price, no
one urges us to decide in a hurry.
Shopping now becomes serious mat
ter, as well with the sales people as

Just as the hats of their mothers
and big sisters are blossoming out
into regular bouquets of flowers, and
shapes are fairly covered with trim
mings, hats for little girls seem dis
posed to the simplest sort of decora-
ton. This is especially true of the
pressed shapes in fine italian milan
that are so well suited to childhood
and other blocked hats, but there are
many little fabric-covered shapes as
well that are all but untrimmed.
Two hats that belong in this class
of meagerly trimmed but pretty hats
for the. little. miss of five or more
years, are shown above. One of them,
the hat at the left, is Of Italian milan

Its brim is much like q poke bonnet,
and it's crown has an indented ridge
lust below the top which adds much
to it's good style. A sash of dark blue
velvet ribbon is tied in soft knot, its
two short ends hanging off the brim
at the right side, near the back of the
hat. Each end of velvet is finished
, with "A cord and ball of silk. This is
n lovely hat for a little miss with

haired children as well.

While these wearers OF me pretty

The wool frock is one-piece model
