Thousands Fave Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DE-. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishlng statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

GUNNER time will see some of
- the most beautiful wraps that
have ever been made under the in
spiration of its sunny skies. Design
ers must be dreaming Of it when they

months afterward, but destined to
have their first airings at the fashion
able winter resorts. The styles favored
BIZ women of trained judgment, are
promoted, and they become the fash
ions of the summer season.
Among the taffeta wraps there are
such masterpieces of superb designing
as that which oompels our homage in
the garment shown in the picture.
You must imagine it in peacock blue
silk, with wide black satin ribbon
having a line of gold along the edges,

TINE outstanding excellence of chill
Il dren's clothes for spring lies
mostly in their simplicity and their
neatness, and neatness in children's
apparel is another name for smart
ness. Leaving furbelows to party
frocks, designers have taken blue
serge, plaid wooiens and many sub
stantlal cotton goods and turned them
into enchanting things for little girls
to spend their days in.
For the younger girls serge dresses
with boomers to match or with bloom
ers of plaid material leave nothing
to be desired in dresses for everyday
wear. Detachable white collars and
cuffs of linen OF heavy cottons or fian-
rel, start the little maid off in the
riorning properly freshened up for
school. When the weather is warm a
pretty chambray or bingham dress re-
places serge for daily wear. The care
and the success with which they have
been designed is convincingly shown
in the box-plaited school dress of
chambray pictured above at the right.

to the excellence of the design. They

Another wrap of taffeta has deep

taffeta was chosen for this cape with
embroidery in sapphire blue and blue

Paris Millinery.

New hats appear earlier than new
spring gowns do. Perhaps it would
be more correct to say that hat
fashions are changing all the time
since each fortnight in Paris sees the
rise and fall of some favored model.
A good rule to follow is that there
should be no hard edges, Even the
close-fitting caplike toques achieve
the desirable softness of outline by
a soft drapery, somewhat shaggy
garland of velvet flowers or large flow
er petals, or mass of feathers. These
