Separate Skirts.

Many novelty skirts are being taken, as we'll as the staple numbers, says the Drygoods Economist. Silks and satins are having considerable vogue, and there is good demand for stripes, checks and plaids in these fabrics.
 Skirts of foulard and of crepe de chine are favored to some extent. The medium-priced skirt continues to be found in poplins, serges, gabardines and tricotines. Checked and striped worsteds and woolens are selling readily.

DRAGGING IN EARLY SPRING
Easiest and Best Method of Road Maintenance After Road Has
 Been Properly Located.

Farmers don't realize the value of the drag. If 1t costs $25 or $50, and was painted up, and somebody could make money by going around selling drags, 1t would be better. For the farmer would then think he must use IL to get his money out of 1t. Its cheap ness and simplicity work against 1t. In ten years time, when we have had ex- perience, we will find that the drag is the easiest and best method of road maintenance after the road has been properly located, graded, drained, and bridges and culverts put In. The drags in a township are worth many times as much as the expensive machinery, in the way of graders, which the town ship usually buys.
 If you really want a good road this summer, don't forget the spring drag ging. If you dragged your roads smooth last fall after the last rain, so that they froze up smooth, you have had good roads all winter. If not, you have smoothed them down by pumping over them, and then smoothed them only in the tracks, torturing your wife, your children and yourself sim ply because you would not follow our advice, says Wallace's Farmer.
 There will always be trouble about getting the township trustees to drag

A laxative today saves sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sour.
 Look at the tongue, mother! If coated, or your child is listless, cross, feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily. full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ail- ment, give a teaspoonful of Cali fornia Syrup of Figs" then don't worry, because 1t is perfectly harm less, and in few hours all this con- stipation poison, sour bile and fer menting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, play full child again. A thorough inside cleansing" is oftimes all that is neces- sary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for bottle of "Cal- ifornia Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies. children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefully and see that it is made by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company."-Adv.

faction in the adoption of Japanese clothes. Once upon a time whatever came from the Little Kingdom wos eagerly seized as having artistic merit or the highest order, but times and thoughts have changed. Japanese art has been so cheaply commercialized throughout America, and its little shops outline the boardwalks of the pleasure resorts in such a prolific manner, that we prefer to go to China the vast spaces around the Great Wall-for suggestions.
 The greater designers in Paris have preferred China to Japan for half a dozen years, and we in America have made the kimono too much part of our early-morning life at S2 per gar ment. that we may not see in this effort of the house of Cheruit an open path to beauty.
 Entire Gowns of Jet.
 The house of Callot has thrown It's Influence into many channels, and the gowns of Its making, which arrived in this country later than all the others, increase the respect we must pay to jet. The woman who has cherished a frock of jet and wondered If the style would ever return in order that she might revive 1t into something modern. may go to the work with en- thusiasm.
 Callot Is not the only designer who whirls jet around the wheel of fash ion into the top place, but she Is the one designer who introduces entire gowns of 1t. These are coat-Of-mail creations, that cling to the figure like a glittering cuirass and whiten in brilliant way the skin of the neck and arms, which are left uncovered. These gowns have trains of tulle or lace, and they are costly-Oh very. very costly!
 To the average mind they may seem a bit heavy for an American spring, and 1t Is safe to say that the woman who buys costly evening gown in April of this year 1918 will expect it to do duty through the summer sea- son. Even our glittering birds of para disc, who heretofore floated through forest of riches showing their plum age and thinking nothing of the cares of life, have been changed heart and soul by the war and its terrors into creatures of self-sacrifice and much higher ideas.
 Choosing Green for Suits.
 Another thing that the house of Cal lot has done to get us away from conventional fashion Is the exploita- ton of green for the street. It may be roughly said that there are thou sand navy blue gowns to hundred of any other color, and, admirable as dark blue Is, the world grows a bit weary of the monotonous procession of gowns in this color which moves to and fro from France to Alaska. We cry aloud for something else. We are like the heroine of the novel, who pas sionately wished for just thread of scarlet in her costume to make her be- lieve that there was happiness and gayety in the world.
 Callot gives us green to quiet our nerves. She gives us chance to get away from navy blue and still remain demurely and soberly frocked.

CUT USE OF FLOUR LOWER.
Next Three Months Critical Period in
Wheat Rationing.

Columbia, May 12.-All house
keepers who can entirely eliminate
the use of wheat until the next har-
vest, about September /, should do
SO, says William Elliott, food admin
istrator for South Carolina. The
most critical period as regards the
allied worlds wheat bin Is at hand,
and the crisis will continue until
the next harvest, when the new wheat
crop Is available.
The splendid example has been set
for the people of South Carolina by
the South Carolina Federation of
Women's Clubs, who. in convention
at Aiken last month, pledged more
than 5000 women to buy no more
wheat -four until after the next har-
vest.
Food regulations for householders
are briefly stated as follows:
First. The need of wheat for al
lied peoples and soldiers and the
present shortage is serious enough to
warrant asking the people of Amer
lea to eliminate the use of wheat en-
tirely for the present, until the next
harvest
Householders who feel they are OBJ
AAo~e w "cO "iSuI nOL uSG
more than total Of one and one-half
pounds OF wheat flour, or prepared
wheat In any form, per person per
week, including the wheat -four in
victory bread, and including the
wheat -four or prepared -four in
crackers, macaronl, pastry, break
fast and other foods.
In estimating -four consumption
every one and -fourths pounds
Of victory bread--which Is bread
manufactured by bakers under regu-
lations of the United States Food Ad-
ministration - may be considered
equal to one pound Of wheat -four.
This rationihg requires a more re-
stricted use Of wheat than that asked
for by the observance Of wheatless
days and wheatless meals.
Meat Of any kind can be eaten on
any day, in moderation, but the food
administration urges that in view Of
the predicted wheat shortage, which
, may be expected little later, the
people practice economy in meat con-
sumption.
