Moments New Walk.

While the new skirts are a little
longer than the modes favored during
the past three of four years, they are
much narrower. The new skirt re-
quires a new walk. For several years."
says dressmaking authority, women
have enjoyed the freedom of their
limbs, and the effect is noticeable in
the masculine stride of the modern
girl. With the narrow skirt action
will be restricted, and we shall have
once more the short steps of the hob
BILE skirt. With wider hips, however,
she will gain in grace what is lost in
freedom. The new walk will be like
the walk Of a pelican-mincing but
graceful, deliberate yet dainty, and al
ways alluringly feminine"

NOT AT ALL BAD REASONING

Crusoe' down, have had phenomenal
success-made hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
''We all know this is true about
financial success. We are all like the
tramp who asked the old gentleman
for the price of a glass of beer.
"T have no money! the old gentle
man said, but / will give you little
advice, friend
"The tramp lit cigarette butt and
blew contemptuous puff of smoke
into the old gentleman's face.
"'Well, if We amt got no money

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 healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to OVERCOME
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm

great preparation send ten cents to DR..
