A MONG the accessories of dress
4 y which the smart shops are featur-
ing, there are to be found revivals of
lovely things that pleased the gentle
women Of two or three generations ago.
Along with the vogue for shorter
sleeves came the lace mits, to make
bid for favor, and lace stockings to be
worn with satin slippers, or other
finery in the way of footwear. Natu-
rally in their company we find the older
types Of fans, like that shown in the
picture above, the cut steel slipper
buckles, together with beaded, knitted
and crocheted purses and wide
brimmed, flower trimmed hats. They
are all enchanting, with flavor of old
time elegance.
Among new arrivals there are some
matched sets in sports clothes that
seem destined to success, with people
who can afford them. They are the
new skirts, scarfs and hats made to
match, or skirts, scarfs and parasols,
or scarf, bag and hat; in fact almost
any combination of not more than three
pieces. They are triumph at south
ern resorts and will journey north and
reappear in the summer on the beaches,
I'm the mountains, and elsewhere.
These sets are classed among sports
clothes, but some other way of describ-

assured she will probably select her
mate in way that would now, with
our false standards of conduct, be con-
sidered perfectly indecent, but seeing
she is the mother Of the resulting
race, 1t seems only right she should
do so. One thing is certain, that a
large number. of degrading unions
which now take place would at once
cease and the whole psychology of
marriage would be raised to a higher
level.
Until the economic position of wom-

the freedom of women has begun, but
it is in vain to strike off the prison

the form of economic dependence. No
doubt professional and business ca

the problem, but much more is re-

to the provision of daughters as COM

Schofield to be an essential step.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS TIE KIDNEYS
Take q 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
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
leen used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer initiates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot I'm
jure, and makes delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink.--Adv.

u VERY day sees the sport skirt and
- the hygienic blouse growing in I'M
portance, and it looks now as though
they are to crowd the tailored suit for
wear upon some occasions where, here
tofore, the latter has reigned supreme.
For instance, sport skirts, hygienic
blouses and summer sweater coats or
sweaters appear often on railway
trains, when their wearers are making
short trips. They are practical for
clean trips-that is, where oil instead
of coal is used in the engines, and
there are no cinders or smoke. They
are sponsored by people who dress
well and we may look for them to per-
sist in the use, for frequenters OF the
California and southern resorts have
established precedent.
Among the new arrivals in these
separate skirts there are some inter-
esting black and white models in fou-
lard or similar silks and few striped
taffetas have entered The contest for

GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER.

Constipation invites other troubles
which come speedily unless quickly
checked and overcome by Green's
August Flower which is gentle laxa-
tive, regulates digestion both in
stomach and intestines, cleans and
sweetens the stomach and alimentary
canal, stimulates the liver to secrete
the bile and impurities from the blood.
It is sovereign remedy used in many
thousands of households all over the
civilized world for more than half a
century by those who have suffered
with indigestion, nervous dyspepsia,
sluggish liver, coming up of food, pal
pitation, constipation and other in
testinal troubles. Sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere. Try bottle,

WILL HUNT NAVIGATING TIGER
Party of Sportsmen Planning Expe-
dition in the Foothil Country
of China.

Kulling, China.--E. S. Little, noted
scholar and traveller, will head a party
of sportsmen early in the spring in
an expedition into the district to the
southwest, where an effort is to be
made to rid the country of number
of man-eating animals, said by the ma
tives to be tigers.
Reports are that 20 Chinese, be-
sides large number Of cattle, sheep,
and other animals, have been killed
and devoured in the district that the
hunters will visit. The country,
which is about 1000 feet above the
plains along the upper foothills, has
been in state of terror since last
summer. Inhabitants have abandoned
their homes and farmers their fields,
and Chinese report that at least five
different tigers have been seen.

ing them must be found, for that terra
is too narrow. "Pastime clothes" fits
pretty well. They are of several degrees
of costliness and xpensiveness-ou of
the category of inexpensive things en-
tirely. Still, clever needlewoman
might acquire a matched set without
too much extravaganza by making the
pieces herself.
One very handsome set is made of
white figured fantasi silk combined
with white and sapphire blue striped
silk of the same kind. The upper
part of the skirt is of the all white
and the side panels and border of the
striped silk. The long scarf is white
with borderd ends in the stripe and
the crown of the soft hat is also white,
but the uprolling brim is striped One
can think of many color combinations
that would be as adorable as this mas
terpiece in blue and white.

look well. The light, open-knit sweater,
in black yarn, trimmed with white, fol-
lows, naturally and is very smart, but
the gayer colors look well also with
these black and white skirts and white
blouses.
In wool there are such good speci-

not much to say about the details Of
these skirts, for they are nearly all
simply made this season. This one is
straight with fiat box-plaits over the
hips and inverted plaits at the back
to dispose of the fullness. The set-in
pockets reveal a very clever ingenuity.
They appear to be straps with rounded
ends turned back and fastened with
small black and white buttons. Two
very large buttons of the same kind
fasten the wide belt.

Bernard has twice defied the
ice fields in a. 'ten-ton schooner,

only one man. On his first trip
in 1908 he went to the Siberian
coast and was absent for nearly
five years. His assistant died
on this voyage, and the explorer
sailed his boat to the ice fields

In 1915 he again sailed north
in the Teddy Bear, this time in
the hope of drifting from the Pa

word that the Teddy Bear had
been sighted by natives near
Banksland, and that Bernard
was unable to negotiate the
