its employees into a company union,
and set a date for the first election.

ment Cloth, chambray, Bingham
Suitable for Purpose.

For summer use, the more simple
the curtains the more suitable and
attractive they are. AS rule, since
light and air are the paramount con-
siderations at this season, only one
set of curtains should be used. Rooms
which are flooded with sunshine for
several hours a day require curtains
heavy enough to temper the glare
while admitting sufficient light. SILK
or cotton pOngee, English easement
cloth, chambray, gingham, crinkled
Austrian cloth and the various light
weight sunfasts admirably fulfill this
purpose.
In rooms with a cold exposure, and
especially in those whose windows are
inadequate in size or are shaded by
trees or porches, the opposite method
should be followed, and the curtains
made of the most transparent fabrics
which can be obtained.
Plain OF figured marquisettes and
dotted muslins and grenadines make
charming curtains, and the most fas-
cinating materials for this purpose
NAV be found on the dress goods cOun-
ters. These include all sorts of dimi-
ties, Organdies, striped and figured
voiles, calicOes and the colored swisses
so much in vogue for summer frocks.
Should they fade after a time, thoGe
in plain colors can easily have their
beauty restored by the use of one OF
the modern dyes which do not require
boiling.
The new sets, both plain and 1g-
ured. are obtainable In great variety.

SHAWL and SCARF

on and on there have been rumors
to the effect that shawls we're lurking
just around the corner ready to be
introduced in high society. So they
were-the gorgeous Spanish shawl
variety, heavy with blazing colored
silk embroidery, usually in floral de-
sign, although their use was naturally
restricted to what was once known as
candle light.
Women have worn these shawls to
operas and theaters the past winter,
just as last year they wore resplendent
mandarin wraps; but it can hardly be
truthfully stated that shawls are in
vogue. They have their little part to
play; but that is all.
One might easily imagine that the

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

'NIy father has suffered from
chronic stomach trouble for over
twenty years and has paid out thou
sands Of dollars for medicines and
DOCTORS" said G. w. Slayton, we'll
known Cobb County farmer, living
short distance out of Atlanta, Ga.
"We 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
like 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.
81 don't guess there ever was a
case as stubborn as his, and if there
ever was a confirmed dyspeptic he was
one of them, and 1 guess he would
have been one yet if it hadn't been
for this Tanlac.
"The first we heard of this medi-
cine was when my father saw an ad-
vertisement 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 fa-
ther. Why, he is just like different
man ana sits down to the table and
eats like a 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.
''Now, when a medicine will do
things like that l think people ought
to know about it, and 1 want 70 say
right now that / would not give one
bottle of Tanlac for all the other
medicines and health resorts in the
country put together"
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists

II 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 plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A 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, a
preparation I 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 a
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 ful6lls 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.

WAY OF MAKING HAND TUCKS
Crease and Run Through the Tucker
on Machine Without Using
Thread.

An easy way of making hand tucks
in lingerie is to crease the first tuck
as usual for machine tucking and ad-
just the tucker, but do not thread the
machine; then run it through the tuck
er. The needle will leave a distinct
line along which to run your hand
sewing. The marker also leaves a
line for the next tuck. 1t is best to
sew each tuck as it comes from the
tucker, since handling obliterates the
marks. This method insures absolute
accuracy. with the daintiness of hand
sewing, and can be done in less than
half the usual time.

a Hint for Homemakers.

When decorating room the furni
ture and rugs should be used as nu-
cleus, as these are very seldom
changed. OF course, if the furniture
Is old and SCARED and is not to be re-
finished, it would be best to use dark
er shades, otherwise all the defects of
the furnishings would be shown up.
But it is not necessary to have
scratched and marred furniture when
there are so many products on the
market today which can be bought
at a very nominal cost, especially de-
signed to make chairs and tables look
attractive and pretty.

strike Riots in Christiania.

Strikers in Christiania, Norway,
attacked the electricity works, which
are manned by social service workers,
smashed several window panes and
tried to pull down a wire fence on the
harbor front, but were dispersed by
the police, who made several arrests.
Only the Socialist journals appear.
The Syndicalist paper Klassekampen
urges the workmen to revolutionary
action.
Social service workers are also work
ing in the harbOr and will soon begin
to supply the population with bread,
which is now made only by workmen's
cooperative concerns for their own
members.
In the provinces of Norway many
trade unions refuse to join the strike.

How About skirts2

The openings have declared that we
are to wear the straight low-girdled
frOck with q skirt showing somewhat
greater width either in the form of a
circular flare or, more happily, in the
form of overlapping panels of uneven
length. The skirt is longer as a rule
about eight inches from the floor, with
loose panels falling often to the heels.
Many skirts, owing to this arrange
ment of dropping panels, are longer in
effect in the back than in the front.
Tailored skirts are often straight and
narrow in effect, with overlapping
panels or plaits lending greater width.
