II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
IL is that 30 many products that are eI-
tensiyely advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation 1 have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has 80 large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
80 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp-Root by Parcels Post Address

designers has a very uneven hem, the
front being extremely short and the
skirt falling much longer at the sides
and back. There is a sash which ties
in bow directly In the front and the
long ends hang to the ankles several
inches below the bottom of the skirt
TO accentuate the appearance of the
unevenness of the hem there are side
panels also longer than the skirt.
Perhaps the most popular place for
a train is at one side. The wrapped
around effect with the drapery drawn
across the stomach, as in this model,
Is very prominent in fashions. These
models, slightly draped at the waist
line in free and easy manner, are
quite a contrast to the tightly draped
princess dress sponsored by Made
leine ct Madeleine. Dresses of this
sort usually fasten at the left side.
This one illustrates, too, the liking
for black and white in evening
frocks. 1t is of white velvet, show
ing long side panel of black velvet
and black tulle. The large fiat flow
ers are of velvet and tulle. The back
of the dress is draped in the same
manner as the front.

ACCESSIBILITY TO MARKETS
Farm on Paved Road Is Nearer to the
City Than One Located on
impossible Highway.

The type Of road over which a farm
er must haul his crops determines his
accessibility to markets. A farm many
miles from the city, but If located on a
paved road, IS nearer TO market than
a farm separated from it by only a
mile Of impossible road That is
why the various reports Of the United
States weather bureau issued daily by

one should figure that there will be
small future outlay for upkeep.
The 1irt road has bad reputation
every place it is found and even i'm
proving does not make it a permanent
road, fer it is continually needing
work. 1t is never-ending job to keep
dirt road in even passable condition.
1t is like doing the chores on the farm,
they must be gone over again and
again and still remain to be looked
after. The properly graded road, of
course, is better than one poorly made,
but at its best it is a continual worry
and expense. Where very steep hills
are on the roadway, bitches should be
run off along the side to carry the wa
ter into the side ditch and not allow if
to run down to the bottom, CARRYING
the soil with 1t and making a pool
where it stops.
Much Of the movement now for i'm
proved roads is for permanent roads.
And, as stated above these permanent
roads although quite expensive at first,
add much TO the value of the lands and
to the reputation of the farming dis
tricts. 1t has been much easier to
populate a new farming section when
1t is known that permanent roads are
coming soon or are already installed.
A farm always sells better when the
buyer can approach it on a substantial
roadway. Those who are advocating
good roads and permanent roads may
not all live to see their ambitions sat
isfied, but they are starting a move
ment that will carry on to the coming
generations and will be a blessing for
those who live after the present i'm
proved road agitation.

Style Is Seen in DresSmaking
Circles for First Time in
Several Years.
SASH PLAYS IMPORTANT PART
Decoration Aids In Carrying Out Very
Effective Results in the More
Fashionable Informal Eve-
ming Frocks.

The long court train has returned.
1t is seen in the best dressmaking cir
cles for the first time In several years.
The resumption of social life by the
many women who were engaged in
war work set the dressmakers to de-
signing clothes of a more formal
character During the war years the
patriotic woman thought only of serv-
ing her country and doing so in the
most suitable dress that she could find

fashions this will go down as a time
when clothes were elaborate, with lit
tie of beauty or good taste to recon-
mend them. 1t seemed that everything
possible in the way of decoration or
elaboration was combined in u single
model.
Now, asserts Il leading fashion cor
respondent, we see the reaction. The
lines of the best clothes made today
are very simple. There is elabora-
ton, it is true, but it is a dignified
elaboration. Some models are really
works of art in the beauty of drapery
and cleverness of design. Their very
simplicity makes them appear as
though any one might have made
them, whereas they could have been
only created by the brain and hand of
an artist

Scarf Adds Distinctive Touch.
A most important movement I'm eve
ming dresses might be termed the
scarflike movement. 1t appears on
many models and may be described I'm
this way: The silhouette of a straight
chemise dress Is changed by attaching
scarf to the hem of the skirt or to
the belt of the dress. Scarfs starting
at the belt line always loop at the bot
tom Of the dress and then up forming
the bodice, swathing the shoulders
and falling down one side. These
scarfs are Of the same material as
the dress.
