You Do More Work.

You are more ambitious and you Get more
enjoyment out Of everything when your
blood is in good condition. Impurities in
the blood have very depressing effect on
the system, causing weakness, laziness,
nervousness and sickness.
GROVES TASTELESS Chill TONIC
restores Energy and Vitality by Purifying
and Enriching the Blood. When you feel
its Strengthening, invigorating effect, see
how it brings color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you viii then
appreciate its true tonic value.
GROVES TASTELESS Chill TONIC
is not patent medicine. it is simply
IRON and QUININE suspended in Syrup.
So pleasant even children like it. The
blood needs Quinine to Purifyit and IRON
to Enrich it. These reliable tonic prop
critics never fail to drive out impurities in
the blood.
The Strength Creating Power of GROVES
TASTELESS Chill TONIC has made it
the favorite tonic in thousands Of homes.
More than thirty-fve years ago, folks
would ride a long distance to get GROVES
TASTELESS Chill TONIC when q

day, and you can get it from any drug

It is gala day for separate skirts.
They appear this summer in all sorts
of fabrics for nearly oil sorts of occa-
sions. Starting out as purely practical
and utility garments, they progressed
into the more practical of dressy after
noon clothes, and then advanced into
the smartest Of sport wear. The ad-
vent of new weaves in silk boosted the
cause of the separate skirt along. and
now no fabric is too sheer and dainty
to make the dressiest of these eonven-
lent belongings. Organize, voile, geor-
gette crepe lend summary charm to
them. Occasions where one wishes to
be smartly but informally dressed
seem to multiply and the separate
skirt fits in with them perfectly.
The two skirts shown in the picture
are of fantasi silk and are worn with
georgette bIouses. The heavy rib and
Iustrous surface Of this silk take the
place of trimming. By using the silk

IMPORTANT FACTOR OF CITY
Nothing Really Of Greater Moment
Than the Question of Proper
transportation.

A city is a big business institution
Not merely in the business it under
takes of its own, but rather in the part
1t plays in the business Of the whole
community.
Take the comfort of its citizens, for
instance. During the war the lumber
men found they had relatively little
labor trouble in camps in which 1t was
possible for families to live a normal,
wholesome life. Schools, churches,
medical attendance, amusements--all
entered into the labor problem.
What was true in the camps is true
In every city. The comforts available
for people help to determine the bust
ness possibilities of the city.
Another important business factor
Is that of the traffic system. In addi-
ton to street railway transportation,
there must be adequate trafficways to
handle business. 1t must be possible
for people to get quickly and easily
from one part Of the city to another
and 1t must be possible to deliver
goods readily.
Would large automobile plant be
able to turn out its enormous produc-
tion of cars daily if it were cluttered
up, If its passageways were relatively
as narrow and congested as those Of
Kansas City?-Kansas City Star.

this plaque. Bands and puffs of tat.
feta finish the top of the bag and form
its handle. A rose and immortelles
appear again on the bag as on the
hat. 1t was bright idea of the de-
signer to pose these little everlasting
flowers on leghorn.
Two colors in faille ribbon are set
together to form the handsome bag at
the center of the picture. The colors
alternate and the point at the bottom
IS set off with those fashionable little,
flower-like straw ornaments that have
held good throughout the season, in
millinery. The hat to match has q
braid brim and ribbon crown, the rib
bon woven 'over and under about the
wide crown and lying in strips on the
top. The same small straw orna-
ments nestle against the brim.
The daintiest of these sets is work
ed out In hair braid. 1t appears at the
right in a hat with hair braid brlm
and crown, draped with a striped rib
bon and trimmed with roses. The
bag is made of two plaques Of
hair braid, joined by a puff of ribbon

A Word for the wild Bird.

A suburban or city home may be
very attractive to people, but not at
'ractive to the birds. Remember, they
are not looking for beauty parlors.
The thrifty little songster is In con-
slant danger from the cat. It ID
claimed that in the state of New York
there are five cats to every farm, It iA
no wonder the cry is coming from the
various states all over the Union that
plants, trees, and vegetables are be-
ing taken. whole crops Of them, by
pests, when the family cats-persist-
ent bird killers-are keps and en-
Outraged. Give the wild birds chance
by assuring them protection and an
attractive nesting place. Note how
they repay you. A free orchestra.

CONSTRUCT POOL IN GARDEN
In Added Attractiveness II Is Worth
All the Time and Trouble
That II Entails.

A very interesting and attractive
garden pool can be made with a little
hard work and at a small expense,
and where the garden is sufficiently
large the pool adds wonderfully to the
artistic make up.
In an amateurs garden recently the
owner was caught in the act of put
ting on the finishing touches Of the
pool and its decorations.
The garden was in the rear Of the
house and the pool was in the left
hand corner at the rear. Not in the
extreme rear corner, as back Of 1t
was bed Of iris arranged in semi
circular form In front, bordering a
gravel walk. Back of this was bed
of peonies and the corner was to be
filed later with SALIVA, backed with
cannas.
The gardener had dug the pool him
self. 1t was about ten feet in diam
eter and two feet six inches deep. In
the bottom stones had been laid and
the bottom and side covered with ce.
ment.
A rockery was made Of a lot OF
large stones encountered in digging,
with a few brought in from neigh.
boring field to complete the work.
The rockery was not in the center, but
to one side at the rear of the pool.
An iron pipe led off to the gutter In
the rear for an overflow. A
The bottom was covered with odd
stones that had been selected for the
purpose on various motor trips in the
country and gave a natural appear
ance to the pool.
A few handfuls of frogs spawn had
been gathered and placed in the pool,
ferns and rushes had been planted
and water lilies were to be set out
later, after which a few gold fish will
be added.
There is no fountain or inlet to the
pool; the water is supplied by the
lawn hose.
This idea can be followed by gar
deners, who find that the pool and
bog garden not only adds to the beau
ty and interest of the garden, but it Is
a source Of considerable pleasure as
well.

designing requires. This Is illustrated
in the skirt model at the left in which
the wide girdle is made of alternating
bands of the silk, two Of them with
the rib running perpendicularly set to.
gether and edged by narrow bands in
which the rib Is horizontal. There are
small set-in pockets at each side.
SILK in two colors and of two kinds
gives good account of itself in the
skirt a. the right OF the picture. The
lower part of the model Is of colored
fantasi silk. set onto plain white
satin yoke at the hip line. The join.
ing is managed well by cutting the top
Of the fantasi portion into battle
ment' line. There are FIVE small pearl
buttons at the front of the skirt near
the bottom and its wide grille Of tho
fantasi silk fastens with two very large
pearl buttons at the front.

In dress accessories Fashion can in
dulge her fondness for caprice with
greatest certainty Of success. Modistes
who turn out the beautiful hats of
midsummer, take advantage of this
and occasionally take the same mate
rails they have used for millinery to
make bags. They help to furnish va
riety in these Indispensable belong
ings and demonstrate how chic hats
and bags to match may be. Even the
happy owner of a fine bead bag might
cast approving eyes upon these match
ed sets, for novelty makes the strong
est kind of appeal and she who may
not have the much-admired bead bag
may achieve triumph in one of these
millinery affairs.
