How Much Money Do You Spend
Unnecessarily in a Year?

As you think it over in a general way.
it seems that not a cent has been spent uil-..
necessarily. But if you paid your bills by
check you could go over your vouchers
monthly and regulate your expenses sys-
tematieally.,
Try this simple method of paying your.
bills. 1t will cost you nothing and may
prove of great benefit to your family.

The "all-day dress" appears to have
come to stay, and is dividing honors
with the tailored suit for street, trav-
cling and business wear. 1t is defined
by its name and is garment for morn
ing or afternoon wear, which made
its appearance after the war began to
curtail the supply CT tailors, and a
substitute for suits that could be made
by dressmakers had to be promoted.
An example Of a draped all
day dress is shown in the picture.
It is made of brown in tricotine,
with a fascinating cascade of folds
formed by draping the material at the
right side, and long row of round
covered buttons lending interest to the
left side of the skirt. The very sim
pie, surplice bodice is gathered in at
the waistline and Joined to the skirt
with q piping of the goods The dress
opens at the right side and long mar
row sash of the material ties here, In
the simplest of loops and the most
casual manner. a piping at the neck
opening would make a severe finish If
it were not for fat silk braid, put on
in points, that gives a pretty and origi-
nal finish to the bodice, and appears
on the sleeves from elbow to wrist.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other OF
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidl.oY trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

RIouses for Fall Wear.

Among the very smart blouses now
being brought out for cold weather
wear are straight oyer-blouses made
of soft panne velvet in suit shades.
Many of these are just about hip
length and finished at the edge with
wide bands of embroidery in contrast
ing colors. Some are drawn In at the
waist with cord or other girdles, while
many hang perfectly straight and
smock-like Sheer fabrics such as net

It will be noticed that the hat worn
with this dress is a strictly tailored
affair OF black hatters' plush, one Of
the many banded sailors that are bust
ness-like and popular for street wear.
GrOsgrain ribbon makes its very effec-
tive trimming.
Many an alI-day dress was once a
street suit. There are so many de-
signs for making these one-piece frocks
that they tempt the thrifty to remodel
suits that are out of style, or show
signs of wear, and give them a new
lease on life. With the popularity of
more fanciful styles remOdeling be-
comes easier, and it is the fashion to
be economical. With world in need
of clothes, every yard of wool or cot
ton goods should make itself useful
in the wardrobe or be eliminated from
it. Many people are in need Of clothes
for the coming winter, and many have
more than they need. If you have a
suit that has served its day with you,
pass it along to some one who can re-
model it into a good looking dress.

Hats for street wear vary all the
way from the plain, business-like
banded sailor, in feathers, plush or silk
beaver, and similar hats in tricOrne
and four-cornered shapes, to those
with rolling and curved brims as new
and original as those shown in the
group above. The demand for variety
In hats is insistent, as it is in other
matters of dress. Starting with the
banded sailor for example, even this
plain model is shown in many var1a-
lions. The crowns are sometimes high
and sometimes low. They are either
round or square and straight or belled.
Brims are more or less wide, and they
may be straight or curve upward.
These hats are favorites with business
women.
The shapes shown in the group are
less severe and equally popular. They
are cunningly thought out to suit the
various types of faces. Among them
soft crowns are almost universal, and
the brims fashioned to prove becoming,
no matter what may be the peculiari-
ties of the wearer. Velvet, beaver.
duvetyn, leather and other fabrics are
used for making these shapes and

The Congestion OF Ports Resulting
from Strike and the British Bunker
Coal Order Stops Sailinss of
American Craft.

Washington shipping In American
ports, 80 far as Il concerns shipping
board vessels with cargoes consigned

British railway workers.
Suspension of the sailings of all
vessels under its control 10 ports OF

was announced Monday by the ship
ping board through the making public
OF an order issued late saturday night
when the railroad strike became Ger
tainty.
The shipping board, II was explain
ed, ordered sailings suspended follow
ing receipt OF information from its
representatives in England as 10 CON
ditiOns in the ports there and after
the issuance Of the British order pro
hibitlng the furnishing Of bunker coal
10 any ships other than outbound Brit
ish vessels.
While shipping board vessels allo-
Gated To the United Kingdom trade
constitute only about one-half OF the
American tonnage engaged la that
trade. the congestion Of ports result
ing from the strike and the British
bunker coal order are expected 10 stop
eventually, should the strike continue
the sailings OF all American craft TO
the British isles.
shipping board officials refused 10
comment on the effect the suspensions
could have on the gradual aceumula-
ton and resultant congestion. and at
the railroad administration II was said
that each aspect Of tie situation wonid
be dealt with when II arose.
Sailings of British vessels from
American ports TO ports Of the United
Kingdom have not been suspended. but
the shipping boards order would indi-
cate that such a step was being com
templated even on the eve OF the
strike.
