color. The ribbon provides a border
for the coat, the lower part of the
sleeves, and a panel down the front,
finished as everything Chinese seems
to be, with a tassel. 1t appears on
the trousers in deep and graceful
cuffs. There is nothing difficult or
intricate about this pretty compliment
to the dress of the Chinese, and who
ever aspires to doing little masque-
rading, by way of variety, might make
it and wear it within her own four
walls.
If one lacks the inclination for oddi-
ties of dress, or has no time for in
dulging in them, the two most practi-
cal styles in negligees are the modi-
fed japanese kimona and the long
bOudOir or breakfast coat of taffeta
silk or wash satin. The kimono negli-
gee is cut on the japanese lines, but
gathered in at the waist line, back and
front, with shirrings. A ribbon sash
that slips through slashes in the negli-
gee confine it and finish it prettily
with bow and sash ends tied In front.

EVERYBODY SEES A
CHANGE IN FATHER
Grateful Son Says His Father
Looks Like Different Man
Since Taking TanIac. :,

MY father has suffered from
chronic stomach trouble for 0ver
twenty years and has paid out thou
sands of dollars for medicines and
DOCTORS" said G. w. Slayton, a we'll
known Cobb County farmer, living a
short distance out of Atlanta. Ga.
I'VE tried nearly everything trying
TO cure him and he went off to the
Springs, thinking maybe the water
might help him, but it just looked
ike nothing would reach his trouble.
Then he tried dieting and lived ON
liquid food until he almost starved.
but even that failed to do him any
good and he just kept going from bad
to worse.
Il don't guess there ever was q
case as stubborn as his, and if there
ever was confirmed dyspeptic he was
one of them, and l guess he would
nave been one yet if it hadn't been
for this Tanlac.
Ihe first we heard of this medi-
cine was when my father saw an adj
VertlSement in the papers from parties
he knew in Tennessee, who were
friends of his and he knew what they
said about it was the truth so he got
1t right away and began taking it.
well, sir, it acted just like magic
everybody notices the change in ia
Their. Why he is just like a different
man and sits down to the table and
eats like farmland Only yesterday
|. he ate pork and turnips for his dinner
and ate so much we were actually
AFRAID he was going to OverdO the
thing, but he laughed and said nothing
hurt him now and that he was hungry
and expected to eat and make up for
lost time.
Nov, when a medicine will do
things like that l think people ought
TO know. about it, and | want to say
right now that l would not give one
bottle Of Tanlac for all the other
medicines and health resorts in the
country put together"

Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.

FOR MOTHERS PANTRY.

Possibly you share mothers inter-
est in the pantry. If you do, you can
appreciate the value of the two con-
venienceS illustrated.
The pantry-needs board in Fig. l
keeps tab on pantry supplies.
Get a cardboard shoebox, and along
each side cut a slot IL inches wide,
extending it to within u inch
Of one end and l inch of the other
end Gig. y. Then cut piece of
board of the right length to fit
between the ends of the cover, and
of the right width to fit between the
slots Gig. 81, and fasten this between
the ends with tacks.
Along the side edges of the cover
mark off points u inch apart, the
full length of the slots, and at
these points pierce holes large enough
for toothpicks to stick through. Then
get some glass beads and toothpicks

VIZ It'll the entry of wells in many
w colOrs and color combinations
among the new yelling displays, the
natter of selecting the most becoming
pattern and color grows more compli-
Gated. But these additional colors are
very promising for they do wonders
In improving the complexion. 1t re-
mains for the blonde or brunette and
the brune-blOnde, of whatever type, to
experiment with the new cOlors and
find out just how much they will do to
clear up or brighten or set off her
skin and just how well they will har-
monte with eyes and hair.
1t is the short face veil that has
made this excursion into the realm
Of color, thereby increasing its ability
10 be flattering. They are woven with
black or white or colOred mesh, and
many of them have all-over dots in a
contrasting color. Among the col
ored mesh " : there are the henna
shades, brown, light and deeper blues,
orchid, green tan, beige, gray, navy
and black. Against these colored
meshes, and white ones, small colored
dots are placed, scattered more or less
,hickly or arranged in border designs.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1921-06-23

One of the patterns is shown In the
veil at the top of the group pictured.
1t is said that the henna, tangerine
and certain clear, strong blues, do
wonders in enhancing the whiteness of
the skin.
In the floating wells, with all-over or
border embroidery, like those shown
above, the popular preference is for
quiet colors. Black, beige, gray, navy
and brown account for most of them,
with black and beige the best liked !;
but for late summer navy blue Is apt
to be the favorite. There is never a
summer when black and white or navy
and white fail to have a following in
the world of millinery; they are cool,
brilliant combinations that follow
cOlorful spring headwear as surely as
night follows day, and navy wells with
white or tan or beige colored hats
one may choose with assurance for
midsummer wear.

right diameter to fit your flagstaff.
Punch holes through the ends of the
straps, and fasten the straps to the
sides of block B with nails.
Because the flagstaff holder will be
left on the windowsill permanently,
1t is a good idea to paint it the same
color as the window trim.
With the Flagstaff holder placed as
shown in Fig. 1, it is out of the way of
the window screen. The screen will
keep the end of the staff from pushing
in too far. Fasten wire or rope stays
to the outer end of the staff, and run
these to screw eyes screwed into the
window frame Gig. ~.
For the staffs of small flags, a pair
of screw eyes screwed into the head
Of the door frame Gig. g., or into a
wooden window-sill, makes as salts
factory holder as can be had. Use
screw eyes of a diameter that will
make the staff fit snugly.

ToIstoy Tribute to Dickens.

Maxim Gorky published some jot-
tings from his notebook of talks with
Leo Tolstoy toward the end of the old
mans life, and among them there is a
curious appreciation Of Charles Dick
ems, according to the continental edl-
ton of the London Mail. Tolstoy said
of him: Dickens has expressed re-
markable thought. He says life was
given to us to be valiantly defended to
the last breath. He was on
the whole a sentimental and loqua-
cious writer of mediocre intelligence.
But he knew better than anyone how
TO put a novel together. He certainly
did it better than Balzac. Both writer's
have left number of badly written
books, and yet BalZac had genius
The talks cover a wide range of sub
jects.

Quite in Order

w. b. Trites, who has been living
in southern Spain for the last year
or two, said the other day:
Life is very abundant and pro-
life over there, especially insect life.
There was typographical error in
one of my stories recently but this
error would have escaped notice in
Andalusia, though it excited lot of
here at home.
"The error was in the quotation Of
hymn, my heroine being made to
sing:
"Just as I am without one flea
"a hymn worded like that would
be quite in order in Spain"

the toothpicks across the slot and in
between the cardboard and the block
fastened back of it. Coat the tooth
pick ends with glue, and drive tacks
through the cardboard into the wood
block backing, just below the end of
the toothpicks, for supports.
On the cardboard, between the slots,
and on line with the toothpicks, the
names of pantry supplies should be
lettered as shown in Fig. l. This list
suggests some AZ articles but of these
there may be several which mother
does not keep GA hand, and there may
be few not listed which she does
use; the list can be edited to suit.

Praise for the MANGO.

The secretary of the chamber OF
commerce in Mexico City says that
nobody knows the real Mexico until
he has eaten ripe mango in Mex
leo. And, of course, you can't eat a
ripe mango anywhere else, because
ripe mango cannot be moved far.
A ripe mango, according to him, Is
the most luscious, juicy and delicious
fruit in the world. and the correct
way to eat II Is to get in state OF
nature in a park or orchard or for
est, or by the seashore, and then GO
to the mat with the fruit.

probably the first white men to see
those lofty landmarks which so appro-
priately give this state its name. This
was in July, 1909 when Champlain
made his memorable voyage up the
lake now called after him.
The first permanent settlement was
made in 1924 at Brattleboro, where the
Massachusetts colony established
fort as a buffer against invasion from
the north. The territory used was
part of what was known as the
Equivalent Lands" which were sold
at public auction in Hartford for
about II farthing an acre, the proceeds
being donated to Yale college. Shortly
after this, settlers pushed eastward
from New York across Lake Cham
plain and westward from New Hamp-
shire This led to disputes between
these two colonies as to their bound
aries. Under the leadership of Ethan
Allen New York's claims We're resisted
by a local military force, which
proudly called themselves 1.-THE Green
Mountain Boys" 1t was these same
men who played such brilliant part
during the Revolution.
In 1777 a formal Constitution for
the state was adopted and VermOnters
are proud of the fact that theirs was
the first of the states to prohibit
slavery by constitutional provision.
For a number of years Vermont re-
manned as a separate republic, but in
1901 it was admitted to the Union as
the first addition to the original thir-
teen states.

Nh MAJ III the official name Is
%sS-(SW state of Rhode
Savoy Island and Provi-
dence Plantations" 1t originated from
two district settlements. The first was
made by Roger Williams in 1886. He
was the pastor of a church in Salem.
AS he advocated radical reforms he
was ordered to return to England, but
fled to the Narragansett tribe of In
dians. From them he obtained a tract
of land and called the town which he
established Providence, in token of
Gods mercy which had so far provid-
ed for him.
About the same time Mrs. Anne
Hutchinson and her followers were
expelled from Massachusetts on ac-
count of theological dispute. She
made her way to the island of Aquid-
neck, which she purchased from the
Indians for 40 fathOmS of white
wampum, 20 hoes and 10 coats. The
name of this island was changed to
the Isle of Rhodes, probably after the
famous Greek island in the Mediter-
ranean. BY common usage it became
known as Rhode Island. In 1862
Charles II gave Rhode Island a very
liberal charter, and this remained in
p force until 1871, when new state con-
stitutiOn was adopted by mass con-
ventiOnS, and two years later another
new constitution was legally voted.
The change in constitutions caused
what was known as DORIS rebellion.
The entrance of Rhode Island into
the Union in 1890 completed the list
of the original thirteen states. Though
Rhode Island is the smallest of all the
states, with only 1,24S square miles,
it is very thickly populated and has
five presidential electors, which is
more than those of a number of states
of much larger territory.
