up many pleasant associations

lowed hatred and passion to run

our bitter losses and the evils
wrought by our foes, neither we
nor any belligerent country in Eu-
rope could hope to re-establisn
peace.
Let us endeavor to Judge on its
merits by considering what 1t has
done for the world In four years.
II has killed or crippled more than
10000, 900 men, the great majority
at the outset of their careers. It
has laid waste miles Of fertile ter
ritory: 1t has destroyed the work
Of mems hands; 1t has substituted
poverty for wealth, bitterness for
good will, evil thoughts for helpful
ones.
AN IDEAL OF TODAY.
Hate Is no longer possible. All
thinking men and women. what
ever their politics, their aocial
views, their sufferings, must realize
that there is no way of healing
save by way of a return to world
brotherhood. A, sober, all.embrac-
ing effort must be made to extend
that brotherhood throughout tho
length and breadth Of Europe, as a
preliminary to making 1t span the
oceans and become a world move
ment in real earnest.
Such Is the ideal for which oro-
gressive folk have labored since
1918; the sympathy with and en-
couragement for It are widespread.
The working classes of all coun-
tries are thinking in this direction
and In these terms. though the bur-
den Of their sacrifice has been the
heaviest Of all. Business men, so
far as one can hear, are in sub
stantial agreement. They realize
that hatred leads to industrial
bankruptcy, which means word
bankruptcy.

alienation which the government
might adopt; in the use Of court in

SAYS CALOMEL
SALIVATES and
LOOSENS Teeth
The Very Next Dose Of This
TreaCherOuS Drug May
Start Trouble.

You know what calomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is danger
GUS. 1t crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, Consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if 1t doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don't take caIomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone stralghtens
you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate.-Advertise

A Feeling Of Security

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
It is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
It is not recommended for everything.
It is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need a medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR.

sample bottle. When writing be sure and

THE new BLOUSEST
TuniC, Hip-Length and TuCk-ln
Models Are in Favor.
Beads, Jet GirdIes, Flowing Sleeves,
Among Embellishments That
Adorn These Garments.

Among the newest offerings in
blouses are smart tunic blouses that
fall almost to the ankles. Other chic
Over-blOuses drop just to the hips, and
there are clever little blouses that
hide themselves inside the skirt band.
One does not see SO many blouses this
season as formerly, but the selection
at the shops is even more elaborate.
For formal afternoon occasions,
there is long tunic blouse of Span
ish lace, with wrist length flowing
sleeves picoted at the bottom. The
lower section of the blouse Is split al
most up to the hips, and all the
edges are picOted. A slim jet girdle
lOOped at the side lends becoming
fullness at a low waistlIne. One needs
only to complete this attractive blouse
with slip of black canton crepe, or
she might attempt a colored slip, such
as tangerine or midnight blue.
An imported blouse is fashioned of
henna georgette deliberately embrOid-
cred in fine steel beads. It is a sim
pie slip-on affair with the oval neck
so fashionable this season. Short
kimOnO sleeves are banded with
clever design of the steel beads, and
across the front of the blouse great
motifs are spread. A sash of plain
henna georgette is tied in the back.
A blouse similar to this comes in
steel gray georgette with the bead
trimming and is unusually smart worn
with suit of Harding blue duvetyn.
Black georgette beaded in the fin
est gold beads will find welcome in
the wardrobe of the woman who likes
something a bit different. A long,
loose unbelted blouse, completed by
an accordion plated skirt of crepe
makes an interesting costume

CHAPEAU HINTS FOR SPRING
Fruits and Flowers in Abundance Are
Predicted for Use on Variety Of
Headgear.

The wizards of millinery art are
busy planning the creations that will
adorn milady's proud head this spring.
Some of the advance models are
already on display and If there is
anything in signs, the spring is due
for a ratnbowa Of color In contrast
to the sOmbre Of winter.
There is a new shade of violet
bound to be becoming to the fair
skinned and blond or brunette type
equally well. 1t is a sort of blue when
first discovered, yet, one could not
safely call it blue without fear Of
having ones neighbOr' call it violet.
So subtle is the color note that it is
truly charming. Rose, too, has a
strange new blend. 1t mixes with
orchid to form a decidedly new shade
for spring millinery.
Fruit and flowers in abundance are
predicted. According to present signs,
the hats will be small, but brimmed.
At front, just above the short brim,
multitude Of cOlOrful fruits and
flowers nestle together. Novelty fruit,
such as pink grapes on a violet hat is
shown. Silver grapes on gray are
new and fascinating. So also are the
green and yellow and blue fruits that
nestle together to form bizarre effect
ut the front Of a tangerine hat in
chiffon tafreta.

THE UMBRELLAS FOR SPRING
Not Much Change in Style; FaVorlte
coIors Are Brown, Navy, Red
Purple, Green.

Very little new is being shown in
the spring lines of umbrellas. Some
new patented features, such as re-
movable covers, folding handles, etc.,
are furnishing talking points, but the
colored silk umbrella with a matching
or harmOnizing pyrOxylin handle and
fiat carrying strap or thong is in
greatest demand. The colors are the
usual street shades, such as brown,
navy, red, purple and green.
A novel feature in mems umbrellas
Is the introduction this season of col
ors, says Dry Goods Economist. A
London smoke, dark brown and hunt
er's green are all being shown in
mems umbrellas. AS to whether these
will become popular is still question,
but men wear soft hats in these colors
and there is reason to believe they will
carry umbrellas in these very dark
tones
Children's lines continue to grow in
variety and also popularity.

Neck Ribbons Again.

The flapper set in Paris has resur-
rected the neck ribbon, and it is fast
gaining in popularity. The girls are
wearing a band of ribbon tightly about
the neck, just below the chin. 1t is
usually about half an inch wide, and
the colOrs run all the way from bright
yellow to black. Some of the wearers
have a small gold ornament, such as a
miniature heart, hanging from the rib
bon by a chain in front. It is just a
fad and probably won't last more than
a couple of months.

Summer Underwear.

Fine sateen, either in plain or self
striped weave, is an excellent fabric
choice for warm weather undergar-
ments. Another practical undergar-
ment fabric is fine sheer cotton crepe.
This is available in many colors and
patterns. This crepe is used effective
ly for warm weather negligees as well
as undergarments, with pipings and
bindings in plain color cotton or silk
fabric or OF ribbon.

horizon of our family sky in the hope
of finding some distant relative who

but always with the same result. If

natural pongee silk, with contrasting
pipings in either red, green, brown or

collar, cut in square scallops with
cuffs and a peplum to match are no.
ticeable features. The scallops are
piped in the contrasting silk, and a

Separate skirts will have their usual
run of favor for spring and summer,
