CONTRAST IN SPORT SUITS
Widest Possible Color and Fabric
Range Appears in Development
of Outfits.

The smartest and most approved
sport suit for summer wear consists
of contrasting skirt and Jacket. The
widest possible color and fabric range
appears in the development of these
suits, velours, duvetyn and angora in
high colOrs being used as material for
coat or jacket, with skirt of plaid or
striped material in blending or widely
contrasting colors. Black velveteen
Jackets are worn with skirts of all
kinds.
The slip-over Jacket is featured con-
siderably, but it is not really as COM
Portable a garment as the one that
buttons at the front or side. The slip
over jacket has the same disadvan-
tages as the slip-Over sweater A
woman must remove her hat and gen
orally disarrange her hair to get the
slip-over coat or sweater off and, as
every woman knows, warm weather
makes the wearing Of a coat for an
extended period rather uncertain.
Both plaided and striped effects are
frequently arrived at through the use
OF stitching. It is possible to make a
very handsome sport suit that appears
to be Of two fabrics by stitching the
material for the skirt, collar, cuffs and
perhaps belt, pocket laps and scarf in
stripes or checks with heavy silk or
wool in contrasting color.
Heavy cottOns and linens are also
used for summer sport suits. A black
and white cotton recently seen had
trimming OF many landings of white
braid, while a heavy gray linen had
the coat trimmed with white plque.

Peace
F. GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

IF YOU would look into the face of
4 strong man, search out him who
is at Peace with himself. For it is
during the time of Peace, both in the
life Of an individual and a Nation
the growth and power accumulate.
Live in Peace.
Peace is always constructive. For
where there is mutual cooperation be-
tween every one of your faculties,
there is team work. And team work
means that you get the biggest re-
suits from your combined efforts.
Live in Peace.
Live in Peace with all about you.
Where there is no Peace, there is no
happiness and no time for taking up
the things that count for the most
We are greatly influenced and in
spired by the lives of people with
whom we come in contact most. And
if there is continual Peace among
all, there is sure to be continual help
fulness among all.
Live in Peace.
Keep your mind in Peace. For the
Mind houses the Headquarters Starr
from which all the important orders
in the game of Life proceed. Peace
originates in the Mind. Let Peace
rule your great Nervous System. Let
Peace guide your day. For out from
it's application comes Power and
Plenty.
Live in Peace.

color should revel in it wherever pos
sible. In the imported cashmere
sweaters color abounds. Not content
with one bright shade the makers of
these comfortable coats have COM
bined two or three bright hues in a
single garment. French blue is COM
bined with dull gold, bright yellow
with lavender and so on through an
endless number of tints.
Llama sweaters have taken the
place of Shetland wool for a light
weight garment. They are thinner,
and at the same time give consider
able warmth, which makes them es-
pecially desirable for tennis. In ex-
ceedingly bright colors, they come in
the surplice style with the sash tying
in the back. the Tuxedo and the MILDLY.
There is quite a family Of scarfs.
Lightweight cashmere, the colors of
which are quite gay, is the most popu-
lar material. One reason for this
popularity is that although very light
in weight it is warmer than silk.

SWAMP ROOT FOR
KIDNEY AILMENTS

There is only one medicine that really
stands out pre-eminent as a medicine for
durable ailments of the kidneys, liver and
bladder.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root stands the
highest for the reason that it has proven
to be just the remedy needed in thousands
upon thousands of distressing cases.
Swamp-Root makes friends quickly be-
cause it's mild and immediate effect is soon
realized in most cases. 1t is a gentle,
healing vegetable compound.
Start treatment at once. Sold at all
drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medi-
um and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

I'm GAY SWEATERS
Garments Of Color Are Copies of
the Winter Styles.
CHEEKY Shades in New Country Clothes
Have Been Provided by the
Manufacturers.

The brilliant colored sweaters seen
In the shops are copies of those worn
during the winter season at st. MOritz,
notes a fashion authority Some of
the loveliest are Of copper colored silk.
In the MILDLY models narrow bands in
a contrasting color are knitted at the
waistline. A yellow angora has brown
bands at the waist. Accompanying it
is a yellow beret encircled with a
brown ribbon knotted in a perky bow
at the side. In sweaters of the smock
type sleeves are elbow length, while
those of Tuxedo cut usually have full
length sleeves.
Collars are of various shapes and
sizes. They may be large enough to
form scarf with long ends or so
small that they are nothing more than
a neckband. Or sweaters may be col
larless. A change from collars and
cuffs of the angora, which we have
had for several seasons, to the ex-
tensive use of those crOcheted of
chenille, is seen on this summers
sweaters. The chenille, while very be-
coming, retains the soft effect that
made the use of angora so successful.
A large, rolling collar of brown
chenille is most effective on MILDLY
sweater knitted of French blue wool.
While the conservative navy blue
and black sweaters are still smart and
distinctive, great many bright col
Ored ones are worn. Dark sweaters
are practical, it is true, and for some
reason they became fashionable; but
after all, there is nothing like a CHEEKY
color in country clothes. There are so
many ravishing hues that custom de-
bars us from wearing on the streets of
the city that those who have a love of

LEAKS IN SUPREME court DECISIONS
BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
CLAIMS THE HOSE

The 25 feet of garden hose found
in the possession of Ramon Garcia,
when he was picked up by the city
police a couple Of days ago, VISA yes
terday claimed by Dr. Merit; and as
the man was near his residence when
apprehended, very likely belongs to
him in the opinion of the officials.
Several cases have been reported
lately of missing lawn hose, and it is
hoped that Garcia's arrest will put
an end to this class of thievery.
No formal complaint had been filed
against the man up to last night, as
the officials are waiting to deter
mine whether it was taken from the
lawn or from building. The differ
ence he will probably receive in SEN
tence in the. two cases is estimated to
be about three years, as one will be
classed with petty larceny and the
other as burglary.
