to be favored in responsible circles here.

quently and the impression has been
gained that the proposition for joint com
mission was the outgowth of meetings of
prominent Americans and japanese in

The Asahi Shimbun of Osaka says the
underlying idea is for President Wilson
to name a commission including the
Secretary of State, some Senators and
representatives, and also well qualified
Japanese like Viscount Takaaki kato,
former Japanese ambassador to Great
Britain. Succeeding steps, the newspaper
says would be Japanese insistence upon
treaty rights, and a request that operation
OF California statutes be suspended.

Anaixzinn Waste Food

America leads all other nations in
apdlyzing the value of the foods we
eat and the best way TO make them
nourish us. Scientists have found that
we often get little OF the real value
of our foods so that a great deal goes
TO waste. It is exactly as if we took
just one squeeze out Of a juicy orange
and then threw it away. The new sci
ence has been developed largely since
the outbreak OF the war. Many inter
estiDg experiments have been carried
on in Teachers college in New York
which are being watched by scientists
all over the world. Some tests are
made with white rats, others with hu-
man beings. The war department
has utilized this information in fix
ing the ratiOns for our soldiers. In
few years people win look back upon
our wasteful, Unscientific habits Of to-
day with amazement.-Boys' Life.

You naturally feel secure when you

take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs
Such a medicine is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp

and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of SwamplRoot.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.

It is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity Is with
every bottle of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
IN bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..

THE FOREMOST American de-
L signers concede the wonderful
talent of the French in the cOncep-
ton and making of clothes, but they
have arrived at the point of excel
lence where they are not afraid of
comparisons. Here we have an op-
pOrtunity to consider an American and
French frock, side-by-side, and both
made for summertime dress-up, Oc-
casiOns, shown with the millinery and
footwear selected for them. French
cOstumers are establishing branches
of their houses in this country, but
it is more significant that Americans
are sending millinery and footwear
to Paris, and perhaps other things.
From Paris comes the lovely frock
Of lowered georgette with an accor-
dion plated skirt and plain, short
smOck, cut in the kimOno style with
elbow sleeves. The sleeves are turn
ed back in q cuff and a little frill
made of the plated georgette finishes
them. Two-toned ribbon with picot

edge makes the loose girdle and out
lines the square neck, but wider rib
bon is used for the bow and single
sash end at the side. A bit of French
ingenuity is revealed in the smOck
which develops extra fullness and
length at each side. A leghorn hat,
fringed and wreathed with ostrich,
and satin slippers live up to the re-
quirements of this delightful dress.
Our American costumer has made
use of black chantilly fiouncing in the
rival frOck. The skirt, of two f1Ounces,
is attached to a plain bodice with full
peplum. The long sleeves flare at the
wrists and there is a fold of flesh
colOred georgette at the front Of the
square neck. The girdle of blue satin
ribbon slips under the peplum at the
front where two large roses are posed.
The ARREST of hats, of black malines
and narrow ribbon, and black satin
slippers with steel buckles are of the
same aristOcratic class as black chan
lilly lace.

And now their attentions have
