glass Of water before breakfast
each morning for a few days and
your kidneys will act fine. This

Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it

THOSE WE'RE THE UNHAPPY DAYS

Arthur II. FolWell, Ill Leslie $.
 Is the female figure new insti- tuition? or are we all wrong? We'll say this, anyway: that until recent years the girl with the perfect meas urements kept her ideal proportions to her self, or to limited circle of friends. She didn't rush her picture into print, with a table of calf. thigh and waist figuresh the way she does now. If there were any rivals of the Venus de Mklo under those old hoop skirts of 60 years ago, or even the bustles of 40, nobody outside of the immediate family knew of it, a search of old files failing to reveal as much as q single pictured shape. Not even old Police Gazette files show any en- tries for the Venus stakes. the near est approach being beefy ladies with disordered hair whose display was entirely incidental to their being murdered by as burly a ruffian as the woodcut craftsman of the period could evolve. k
 Of purely artistic exhibition there seems to have been none: yet 1t is inoonceivable that this was so be- cause of any dearth of fitting sub jects. We cannot be so egotis ssical as to assume that there were no Ve- nuses before 1920 or thereabout. With us. Nenuses/are as common as Fords; scarcely a week passes without the appearance of one or more. Miss Til- lie Busby of Little Falls, N. Y.. or Miss Mabel Jiggly of Marblehead, Mass, in the Sunday illustrated sup plements But hold. Vt may be that the vogue of the one-piece bathing suit has something to do with it. Not that a one-piece bathing suit has power to transform into Venus any one stepping within it's scanty limits; 1t Is merely fortunate that the one-piece bathing suit happens to be in vogue at time when re- plicas of Venus are so plentiful It seems providential.
 A wave of tardy sympathy engulfs us as we think of the Nenuses of so years ago. Of what use were ideal measurements In those days, of what use was 1t to be 6 Tillie Busby of Little Falls or a Mabel Jiggly of Mar

A good white Christmas 1t should be Fifth avenue is wholly beautiful under snow, it's architectural detail lost in simple scheme of delicate coloring. It's buildings flowing to- gether as if hewn from one piece by some Titanic Rodinesque sculptor.
 Fifth avenue is weird spectacle nSnn11v. cn the Eor1rfh If Tu1v Tn canny, in fact; so startlingly empty is it of human life. Also sligh' sounds ring loud. The avenue seems to stretch a great way, and you have distinctly an impression of seeing ir glare the faces of the buildings now for the first time.
