''NO PARKINC''
 CAUSES LOSS

It is expected that when the Com mon Council meets on Monday night that they will be asked to talxn some action on the "no-parkng ordfaance that was recently passed hy the Board of Aldermen against the park field avenue.
 Numerous complaints hava been voiced lately that the rnerchaats of the city are losing considerable trade by the enactment of the ord8nance which prevents motor vehicles from driving up in front of stor0D and leaving their cars parked ssatside while they transact business. A H. Mackenzie was authorized at a meet ing of the Retail Merchants of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday to put the matter to the city authorities in an effort that some modification of the ordinance will be forthcoming. It is not thought that the merchants ed but that a compromise will be agreed upon.
 Meanwhile patrolmen on thu cen ter beats continue to tag the csrs of the violators. In most cases the owners of the cars are summoaed to appear at Police Headquarters where they are warned and let go. The greatest trouble is experienced with out of town cars that come into the city and park in the restricted areas not knowing it is forbidden by q city ordinance.

CLOTHES WHICH MEET
 THE TESTS OF SCHOOL

Not the least among the tests in the modern school is the one which con cerns the clothes of your little girl. School clothes must not only be ser viceable but they must be attractive as we'll. Careful mothers realize this fact and so give much time and thought to the planning and the making of their little girls school frocks.
 For the little first grader nothing
 could be more appropriate that the
 little frock at the left of the picture.
 Plain circular lines with the slit pock-
 cts and the unique vest give it that
 different" look which is nowadays so
 much desired.
 Buff-colored linen bound with tan
 linen, with a tucked vest of cream coEored organdie and small brown bows will make a very chic little frock
 This would also look well made of l plaid gingham with white organdde vest and collar and cuffs 'Chambray, Iinene. ratine and sateen may all be used for this design Very smart and attractive is tn frock of two-toned material in the center. The yoke effect, with it's panels cut in one piece, may be made Of the plaid or the ptaan malerla.l, as you prefer.
 This design will be most effective
 made of plain and plaid Japanese
 crepe. Brown. black and yellow checked gingham with the yoke and
 panels of pongee will also be very chic.
 Linen, ratine and serge will look
 well with this design. The little dress on the right can be
 made of two pieces of material and 1 opens on the shoulder and down the l sides. Rows of buttons and bits of trimming emphasize as we'll as hide ! this opening.
 Make thds dress of dull blue ratine and trim it with appliqued motifs of l cretonne and large pearl buttons Natural cofored pongee trimmed l with bits of embroidery in bright t-coI- ored worsted and large croeheted buttons will also be very effective. Serge. linen, crepe de chine. sports 1 silk or jersey cloth may all be used for . this model.

Dear Doctor Reeder:-

Dear Doctor Reeder:-
 Please tell me what to put on a fatty tumor to take it off. It was a been opened. Now it is a good bit a raw kind of place on it on account of wind and dust and germs.
 WP.J
 Answer: This is probably an aib- scess and should have been opened as soon as it was apparent that pus was present in it, if such was ever the case. In all probability there is still some there and should be allowed to escape by making a small invision. Some aibscesSes seem to be caused by an infection of a ,non-virulent type, and these are slow and painless in growth. After opening such an ab- scess it should be washed out daily with a one per cent. solution of Li- quor Cresofis Compound and a small strip of gauge should be placed within it to allow free drainage and to pre- vent healing on the surface before it has healed up from the bottom. Should it prove not to be of the type just referred to further detaI~ should be given and suggestions will be made regarding the treatment best adapted to it.
