"FOLLIES" MUST BE GOOD
IS CITY'S EDICT.

Unless the 'Follies' mend their
ways in the matter OF acts that are
declared by many to be objection
able ! shall recommend to the Mayor
that the license OF the theatre at
which they are playing be revoked"
That was the ultimatum OF Cor
poration Counsel Samuel A. Ettelson
following reports from assistants
who had been asked to view the show
and report upon whether or not
scenes in which there were semi
nude women were Objectionable. II
was reported that while the scenes
violated the ordinance against unclad
women on the stage, the scene really
was beautiful
The scene in which Ray Dooley and
w. c. Fields take part is declared to
have been modified enough to suit
the censors.
But in New York" said one as
sistant to Mr.. Ettelson, who viewed
the show there, "the women were
clothed. Why should they be IN
dressed when they come to Chicago"

NOVELTY IN WINTER GLOVES
Heavy Silk, Reinforced Handeoverins
Is introduced by Manufacturers;
Kids Match Shoes.

Another novelty OF the season. and
one OF the most distinct. is the intro
ductiOn Of silk gloves for winter. Orig
inally these were created by their
manufacturer TO be worn with the
protection Of a muff, the object .being
10 save white gloves, which quick
ly become hot and sticky inside a
nun. But il has been found that
these silk gloves work so well for 9th
er purposes that their original mission
is TO be extended. They are made Of
a special heavy silk, and in addition
are reinforced. One type is a loose
"slip-On" with elastic In a shirring at
the wrist. the silk backed with cotton
woven in with the silk. The other
type is the usual shOrt-wIisted silk
glove. heavy outside with thinner
silk lining.
The imported and domestic kid
gloves have dressed themselves up to
match shoes and stockings. and we
see white glace Kid gauntlets lined
with color. biscuit. pale blue. yell
low, and stitching on the backs to
match. The reliable and indiSpens-
able chamOiSette is naturally az much

IN COLOR SCHEME
Harmonious Hues Should Be Aim,
Fashion Writer Says.
Choice Of Pleasing Shades Affect
Mental and Physical Health and
Happiness; Avoid Diseord.

Much that is beautiful in art, ma
ture, and in costume makes its ap-
peal to US through color. asserts a
fashion writer. We see rare picture,
we are attracted by pretty gown, or
we look upon u bed of peoples nod
ding in the wind. and exclaim, How
beautiful! - If We but stopped TO ana
I'VE that remark, we should realize
that the common quality that appeals
to us in these different cases is color.
The choice of harmonious color
scheme in clothing and in the decOrat-
ing of our homes affects our mental
and physical health and so our general
happiness. Color has virtually the
same effect on us as music. Ii makes
US sad or II makes us happy; Ii invig-
crates or dep-eSSeS Us. IL Is Ian
guage without words. And just as we
are annoyed by diScOrd in music, so
are we disturbed by diScOrd in color.
All music is based on the octave.
All color music is based on the color
of the rainbow. which is the best col
OF chart. A particular color is like
a particular note in music. II may
be pleasing even by itself; but il il
much more pleasing when it is com
bined with diScOr,lant cOlOrs. Every
note on the violin or piano, as every
color OF the rainbow. is pure i'm itself;
hut when combined with notes that are
not related 10 il and TO one another, 1t
produces diScordant effect. So, TO pro-
duce harmonious results, one color
must be related I'm some way 10 the
other color or COlOTS. with which IL Is
combined. For a brown dress, for
instance. following the correct color
cnart. one combination would be VIC
let blue. which i the complement OF
brown; another combination would be
Orange-yellOw. for brown is its ter
tiary shade Brown also may be COM
bined with cream or lavender. for the
tertiary tints.
There are three primary cOlors, red.
yellow and blue. the pure hues OF
which are called the intense. or spec
trail cOlOrs. There are six Of these. as
you know: red-orange Ga mixture Of
yellow and red) blue-violet Ga mixture
OF red and blue). yellow-green Ga mix
ture Of yellow and blue).
The spectral colOrs are divided into
two classes: warm and cold. Red, or
ange and yellow are warm; green,
blue and violet are cold. As a rule
warm color combinations are to be pre-
ferred; but when complementary col
OTIS are used, warm and cold are nice
ly balanced. and the effect is always
pleasing. For example. in a room fur
nished in brown tones with hangings
and upholsteries Of blue, a judiciOus
use OF orange-yellOw or gold for the
bright color note produces a harmoni-
Gus effect
Knowing. then. the basic rules Of
color combination. and looking to ma
ture as the best teacher in color har.
mony. we should apply those rules to
our clothes, our homes and our handi-
crafts.

lOES YOUR BACK ACHE1

II you are troubled with back aches,
It is bet that they are caused by weak
kidneys; they don't perform their du-
ties, and you should look out, as there
is trouble brewing.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, head
ache, dizzy spells, and it is more than
likely to bring on rheumatism.
The urine is often cloudy, full of
sediment. your sleep disturbed by be-
ing compelled to arise, one or more
times during the night, because of the
pain, irritation and abnormal condition
of the kidneys and bladder.
If you will take IRON 10 to 20 drops
OF SEVEN BARI<S in q little water
after meals, you will correct the aka
Unity of your secretions, thus giving
you undisturbed sleep and peaceful
rest, preparing you for your next days
duties.
When the kidneys are not doing their
duty they allow impurities 10 accuinu-
late and be converted into uric acid
and other poisons, which will cause
serious trouble unless they arc driven
from your system.
i YIN eat meat regularly, you should
flush TIE kidneys occasionally with
SEVEN BARKS, as meat forms uric
acid which clogs the pores, so they
can not throw off the poisons.
Don't neglect your kidney trouble
with the first symptoms, you will be
sorry if you do. Get SEVEN BARRS

LOWER PRICES IN SHOES
Drop in Hides and Furs Lead to This
Belief.

Burlington. April 12-No matter
what propaganda is issued from va
rious sources in regard to keeping
prices up, there is no denying the
fact that prices in some commodities
are taking slump, and a big slump.
This is especially true of leather.
which ought TO mean cheaper shoes at
some time in the future.
Today at the Burlington Rendering
company, cured hides are being bought
for 25 and 80 cents. whereas last iall
as high as 80 cents per pound was
paid for them This is reduction OF
nearly one-haif which has taken place
in gradual decline over period
which began in January. 1t has moth
ling to do with the season Of the year
as year ago they were nearly as high
as last fall 1t is a natural reduction,
which in the opinion of the men in
| he business has come to stay.
1 Calf skins Which also help 10 sup
ply the necessities of life, have also
shown a very big decline, coming down
NEARLY $3.50 each since last fall, and
they are coming in good all over the
country at that, according TO the hide
dealers. They sold as high as seven
dollars and the price at present is be-
tween four and four and half.
The greatest crash, however, is in
musk rat skins. The bottom fell out
/ of them last week and they came down
NEARLY So apiece within period of a
week. Nobody seems to know what
will happen to them but the big fur
lauction next week in New York will
give a pretty general idea. There
seems TO be a strong effort being
made by all the big dealers to reduce
lthe price on furs for the reason that
they had reached such a high price
that no one could buy them. \ large
amount of money was lost in the rat
skins. At the Rendering company as
much as S5.25 has been paid for skins
within few weeks. but no skin will
he bought at more than 1925 now and
lit is expected that much less will be
paid. Rats that we're shot are not
wanted but are bought for rs TO 80
cents, whereas as high as SO has been
paid for them. The high priced rats
4 are those which are trapped. The
price of mush rats got so high that the
re all price reached nearly thousand
dollars and people are not
buying goods at that price, as they
A formerly did.
4 AT the plant on North avenue there
4 is nothing disheartening about high
prices for there is no increase in the
price of fertilizer this year and the
farmers are getting lots more for their
money for the reason that all the
French potash which is needed Is com
ing into the country, which makes for
better fertilizer at the same price
4 Word has gone out among the men in
the hide and allied businesses that
EVERY one is stretching every effort &c
reduce prices and the results have al
ready become apparent to a marked
degree. The biggest Thing they have
to contend with In this work is the la
Dor situation, they say. While the
process of becoming shoes at great
lly reduced price, labor troubles, in
creases in wages and one thing and
Ianother will keen the price Of the fin
ished article far above old standards
for The present but a reduction is
bound to come some time.

about 140 OF the towns in the State
complying with the laws Of 1919 that
they fled their repo. is Of the records
of deaths in their towns as found on
the tombstones, so there are over 100
towns which have not complied with
the law, which provided that these
must be flied before January, 1920.
One town to which second request
was made for the records, replied to
the secretary Of state that the town
had voted not to compile the records.
Naturally, the secretary replied to the
seleetmen OF that town advising them
that il was a State law and not Inat-
