TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black raught.


RossviHe, Ga. Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of
this place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
iured himself with piece of heavy ma
ctinery, across the abdomen. He was
so sore he could not bear TO press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 165 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed ITO lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
ten-cent bottle Of castor oil, and drink
il two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture,
! sent and bought Thedford's Black
Draught. made him take big dose,
and when it began TO act he tainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and
began to mend at once. He got well,
and we both feel he owes his life 10

FUR TRAININGS SAVE FABRIC
Coat and Suit Manufacturers Conserve
Materials by Using Only Lining
Underneath Very Deep Bands.

Thrifty designers of manufacturers
of coats and suits on which fur is
employed as a trimming often use
very deep bands of fur about the coat
with only lining underneath, so that
the expensive material of the garment
is economical and elbow deep cuffs
on the sleeves may be set over lining
only, also.
IL extravaganza seems to be pres
ent in the form Of an ultra long suit
coat the wearer may point to the fact
that this coat covers skirt that Is
sheathlike as to width, and that could
not possibly be part Of suit en-
ploying short or medium length coat
The fabric shortage and necessity
for conservation are real; but women
must be well dressed, and designers
are doing their best to meet condi-
tons as they are.

Bright Red and Green Are Favorites--
Tweeds, Both Plain and Checked,
Made Into Simple Models.

For sports coats that are about
three-quarter length, instanced in a
khaki color gaberdine on military
lines, there are any number of planted
skirts to select from, to go with them.
In one case it is a bright red-and-
green Scotch plaid, but many of the
clan plaids are represented.
Tweeds, both plain and checked, are
fashioned into simple models.
Only few open all the way down
the front--a sports idea characteristic
of last seasons models.
All have pockets of the slot variety
inserted at varied angles and defined
by tailored tuck effects. the patch pock-

sessions, The prominent men who
came here to address the growers on
technical subjects had the ability all
night and perhaps complete knowl-
edge at their instant command, for
at no time were they at a loss to
answer the questions so frequently
pronounced The horticulturists were
present to learn and there were no
acrimonious debates or picayunish
discussions. Everything waa buiness.
Tho various speakers could not
help feeling pleased with the inter-
est they aroused and the courtesy
with which they wero treated and It
seemed that each 81 tho able men
tried his best to convey all the infor-
nation at the disposal to the appre-
oiative fruit men, The last speaker
of the session was Prof Charles
Brooks, Bureau Of Plant Industry,
Washington, and it appeared to the
newspaper observer that If there was
anything he did not know about the
fruit industry from planting the seed
to the proper qualifications of a cold
storage, it was not worth knowing.
The fruit men quiZzed him for an
hour on wide variety OF subjects
associated with horticulture and
found him always at ease and never

Resolved, further, In order that
the proposed law may be more adapt
ed to the various sections of the
country and be more easily changed
from time to time to meet changing
conditions, was recommended that
the Secretary of Agriculture, after
consultation with fruis growers and
dealers, be authorized to establish
grades and specifications, as is now
Go1to in the Grain Standard act and
rromulgate the anne and which so
promulgated such grades and speci-
fications shall become the National
And we recommend that
the grades and specifications here
tofore adopted by the National Fruit
Growers Association, at meeting
in Springfield, ILL.,. as a basis for the
action of the Secretary of Agricul-
turc.
Resolved, further, We earnestly
insist that Government inspection of
all fruit shall be made at the point
Iof origin, rather than the point of
destination, And we recommend the
appointment of a strong committee
to secure "a conference with the Sec

this requirement be inserted in the
proposed bill before the same is re
pointed to Congress-"
