WYE know now what summer will
w bring in the way of clothes for
children and the end of Lent ought to
see their little wardrobes completed
and out of the way. There never was
time when their belongings were
more carefully thought out or more
tasteful and practical. Designers of
little girls dresses and hats seem to
have been inspired and to have turned
out apparel that interprets what child
hood is-or. ought to be-and the re-
suit is lot of simple and dainty, or
simple and sturdy clothes, according
to the childish demands to be made on
them.
Two good examples of the straight
forward but ingenious modes for girls
of eight to thirteen, for every sort of
ordinary wear are pictured above. The
little dress at the left is made of plain

YEARS BUT ADD TO BEAUTY
Particularly Graceful Tribute Paid to
the Elderly by Widely Known
American Writer.

I have carried these my preferences
through life, and 1 still regard old
ladies as angelic, insomuch that
have never seen one that 1 did not re-
we're. I do not know when they begin
to look old to other eyes, but to mine
they never look old, as old men look.
Very likely some of them may once
have been silly, and some naughty, but
they do not show it, while all ne good
ness and wisdom Of their youth has
grown upon them.
I should like to touch here, but
barely touch, the thought of the dear
and lovely lady which has all this time
been in the back of my mind, as
supreme proof of the highest praise
that could be given to aging woman,
writes w. D. Howells in Harper's
Magazine. She was of the finest mo-
dernity in her love of the best things
in literature and life, and could no
more err in taste than in truth or the
beauty which Is one with it.
She is gone now, who was so lately
here in such perfection of mind and
soul, that it seems as If she could
never have left us who were privileged
to share the bounty of her wisdom
and grace.

Wells on Fur Hats.

Wells are not often worn with fur
hats. The veil flattens the nap of the
pelt and gives hard lines. When
veil is worn with small fur toque
there should be plenty OF veil--that
is, the veil should be big enough to
swathe the small hat with soft, over
tapping folds. When it is necessary
to wear veil with feather hat have
a veil of generous size, which may be
thrown lightly and loosely over the
plumes and not fiatten them down In
tight, close lines.

ID UYING a trousseau is, of course,
ID the most alluring of all shopping.
but standing right next to it is the
perennial joy of buying new hat
an event that comes along often in
these modern days. When a woman
loses interest in her headgear, some
thing has gone very wrong with her,
and life has lost lot of flavor. Some
women declare that buying a new hat
proves q comfort and an inspiration
in time of trial, and is better than
medicine: there is lot in the psychol-
ogy of clothes-otherwise they would
not be worth writing about.
Now Is the season when millinery
shops are floufishing, for they are full
of enticing spring millinery-in which
sports hats occupy more space than
ever. But, leaving out this particular
line, we find among those present in
all displays, hats of which the four
shown above are types, and all of
them worth considering.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Fake a Glass of Salts il Your Back
Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzeS the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer with
a dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic tWingeS.
The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi-
ment, the channels often get sore and
irritated, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink.-Adv.

chambray and might be Of any of the
several cotton materials that are used
for substantial summer dresses. They
all come in pretty cOlors and are usu-
ally made up with collar and cuffs, and
sometimes pipings, of white cotton
goods. In this chambray dress white
batiste answers for the accessories and
the narrow frills that edge the collar
and cuffs are finished with a picot
edge.
Crossbar dimity or lawn, or a fine
Bingham will make the other dress
successfully with white Organdie in
the collar and cuffs. or the design can
be copied in heavier cottons. The tiny
bow of narrow black ribbon at the
front of the collar is not to be over
looked because it is everywhere pres
ent in the new cotton clothes for both
grownups and children.

RECIPE FOR GRAY HAIR.

To half pint of water add OF. Bay Rum,
small box of Barbo Compound, and u
OF. of glycerine. Apply to the hair twice a
week until it becomes the desired shade.
Any druggist can put this up or you can
mix it at home at very little cost. 1t will
gradually darken streaked, faded gray hair,
and will make harsh hair soft and glossy.
1t will not color the scalp, is not sticky Or
greasy, and does not rub off.-Adv.

CONGRESS IS GETTING READY
TO ABOLISH SUBTREASURIES

subtreasuries are doing work that the
banks can do. The federal reserve
banks have practically taken the
place of the subtreasuries In fact.
long before the federal reserve sys-
tenn was instituted the national banks
had taken over much of the work the
subtreasuries formerly did.
Chairman Edmund Plat of the
House committee says that IL an effort
had been made to finance the great
war through the subtreasuries. as
they financed the civil war. I'VE would
have gone off the gold basis much as
we did then
The fact that the House voted in the
last Congress to abolish the subtreas
uries by cutting off the appropriation
for them, while the Senate voted to
put back this appropriation, is a
strong indication that the House at
least is ready TO act promptly upon
such a report from the House COM
mittee on banking and currency
No summary action however will
he taken by the House and the sub
treasures will not he abolished with
