WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or.
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.
bition, nervousness, are often times symp.
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR.,
kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, NAV
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm.
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR.

Grinder Uses Anv Current.

The use Of an aluminium alloy hous-
Ing and a patented pistol grip and
trigger switch makes this portable
grinder easy to handle and gives the
operator perfect control. While it is
essentially portable machine de-
signed to operate on either direct or
alternating current, an attachment
sent with the machine enables it to
be converted into bench-grinder in
thirty seconds. This one machine will

thing that one could wish to find. A
full-figure design illustrates a frock
of that type which can easily be made
at home. It is cut over the chemise
model with little extra fullness over
the hips, bound with cire braid to ac-
centuate it's lines, and also to finish Its
edges in the most efficient way. Heavy
material of this kind is too thick to
stand hemming, so the restriction, by
means of the braid binding, is con-
verted into a possibility of decoration.
An interesting blouse of Russian
tvpe is made with full sleeves and
gathered neckline. It's design grew
out of the popular, big sleeved in
fiuence seen in all of the newer things.
It makes a waist to wear with the
tweed suit when one grows tired Of
the regular tailored variety. Besides,
some women do not look well in the
tailored blouse. They want something
softer and fuller in line and still suit

sort of suit.

made by amateurs with the needle.
But most women are not so amateurish
and many without natural gifts for
sewing are going to dressmaking
schools. These schools teach the art
of dressmaking and dress cutting and
draping with technique and perfec-
ton that is pleasing to contemplate.
They turn out a competent dressmaker
in from two to six months.
There Is one school recently estab-
lished by the French museum which
is teaching dressmaking In a most
interesting way. The pupils are first
taught to draw. They start in by
studying the designs Of one period and
are given pencil and paper to work out
In detail the sort of garment which
shows their idea OF the designs of
that period applied to the usages and
restrictions OF the present day.
Necessary to Visualize.
When this idea was put forward,
there were many objections. Those
untutored in drawing never would be
besides, they were coming to learn
draping and stitchery, not drawing, 1t
was said. But the heads Of the school
insisted that unless learners were able
to visualize what they were about to
undertake they would be working In
the dark, which could not lead to
artistic results. They ignored the fact
that 1t usually is the custom to have
specialists do the drawing and went
to work with their first class. It was
surprising the way that the drawing
instinct came into evidence as soon
as the class caught the spirit. They
produced interesting things at once.
The next step was to set them to
work with a dummy figure and some
cheese cloth and unbleached muslin to
carry out the ideas they had sketched
on paper. Experienced teachers
told them how to arrange the folds
and so on. Then they took up other
periods. pursuing the same process of
study, visualizing and accomplishment.
At intervals those learned in the
theory of art as applied to clothes
were called in to give lectures to the
class SO that their general education
on the subject as whole should not
be neglected. They were instructed
In all Of the ideals of French dress
making, which has gained so eminent
place for itself in the history of the
world In other words, they were
given a chance to assimilate an all
around, developed point Of view in
stead of being permitted to cramp
themselves into one small corner of
the art of dressmaking.
These classes are still going on.
They are attracting women from many
walks of life-those who wish to be-
come expert designers and those who
are merely studying the idea for their
own sake.
The pattern idea has been rounded
out to such fine point that, with one

perience and a moderate amount of
common sense can make for herself
something of which she has no reason

This plan is as practical as it is
popular. And it is a short cut to the
finished product, for no time is wasted
in theoretical education. One gets
right down to brass tacks and actually

Some of the department stores even
go SO far as to have a series of lee
lures on home dressmaking. Women
are showing that they really want to
learn about these things. And they
are interested enough to go further
to undertake their own dressmaking
In professional spirit.
Many Of the most successful dresses
that one sees these days are made ON
the simplest lines. An afternoon dress
is made of heavy canton crepe and
cut perfectly square. That is the
material is folded over at the shoulder
line. At the waist q slit is made and
the material then falls away in a
natural drapery at the side. What
looks like a f1ounce at that point is
only the remainder of the square fall
ing as it pleases. The drapery on the
waist under the sleeves is accom-
plished in the same manner. Then the
edges all the way around the frock
are picoted. There is scarcely any
work about the thing.
