Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or 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 healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
BILE and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
klmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see what
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder medicine, will do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sam
pie size bottle by Parcel Post. You can
purchase medium and large size bottles at
all drug Observation-Disclosures.

I did it this way: The one-piece skirt
is in brown burlap; the six-inch hem
is cut and fringed. The shirt is at
tached to a darted brassiere with
shoulder straps and is worn with a
sweater. A soft-crowned hat with
brim of burlap is fringed to match the
skirt"
Even the shoes were her own design,
black, patent leather, high lace boots
with sides of dull black satin. OF
course there was reason. "Pm great
friend of the high lace boot with low
heel and moderate sole for golfing
general walking in fact, for all out
Of-doors sports. Low shoes ruin the
line of the ankle, so the sensible wom-
an will choose the high shoe, even If
it is a bit inconvenient as>to lacing
in order to present a trim silken clad
ankle in the drawing ROOM"
In the matter of home furnishings
she was enthusiastic. She declared
she dressed up" her own home in
unbleached muslin dyed in shades from
brown to gold, used black lace shades
appliqued with a medallion of color
cut from a design in cretonne in a
room furnished with Old-fashioned hair
cloth furniture.
''The effect is artistic and restful,
the browns and colds cheer up the
hairclOth furniture in its austere wal
nut, the tones of the medalliOns blend
the schemes together. The expense
was small, but the investment of time
and thought repaid me, as it does any
woman who loves her home"

Blouse Sleeves.

The sleeves are the most startling
feature of the newest blouses. Those
in contrasting color and fabric have
been accepted, and charming effects
are seen. Fur sleeves in cream color
with PLAGUE design in embroidery
and bits of red leather scattered over
the surface are seen in a dress of navy
blue. A black crepe-back satin blouse
has sleeves of scarlet georgette. A
navy canton crepe with sleeves in
green geOrgette is a striking develop
ment. The fashionable fuchsia tones
are effectively displayed in crepe de
chine gown in purple with sleeves of
the palest orchid crepe chiffon.

CHOICE OF DRESS
Women Should Use Brains, AS
serts Fashion Writer.
Thought to Right Garment for RIGHT
Occasion, and Glance at Mode
Will BE Aid.

Inc reactionary period of fashion
is upon us, when the French designers
Insist on purity of line, women must
return to her stays, the uncorseted fig
ure, the extremely short skirt, and an
lmmodest decolletage must give way
TO dignity and modesty in dress" This
Is the opinion expressed by a promi-
nent writer of fashions and designer
OF many distinctive dress and dress
accessories.
THE corset bids fair to come back a
modified and corrective article Of
dress, an inconspicuous and useful
preserver of the beautiful lines of the
natural figure.
"This is the opportunity of the wom-
an who is clever enough to dress with
her brains instead of with her purse
alone. If woman of average intel
ligence gives her thought to the right
garment for the right occasion and
casts sharp glance at the present
mode she may dress well at compare
lively small outlay"
The speaker was busily fashioning
ah Ouu llll1G DdS Ol N6INSJs OuS was
wearing a knitted sport dress, high
of neck and long Of sleeve, in a deli
cate lavender.
Il knitted this Dress You see, i
practice as we'll as preach" she naive
ly produced the daintiest of work bags
and exhibited a black lace stocking
she has just finished.
Here's a stocking made to match
a black lace evening gown. Simply rip
up an old stocking for a pattern and
cut from yard of all-over lace, use
silk jersey for sole, heel and toe,
whip the seam carefully and finish the
top with the hem from a discarded
pair of stockings" The directions
were simple and the product a tell
ing tribute to the skill of the maker.
Sand here's a sport dress any girl
may have now that tweed-like fabrics
and economy are in vogue. This de-
sign will be brought out in the spring
by a manufacturer in several colors.

Nice new fur coats are slowly but

A Difference.

When Representative Cole of Iowa
was sworn in to succeed James w,
Good, who resigned, he was the first
new man to come from his district in
fourteen years. He said when he took
oath Of Office he recalled a sheriff
friend of his who was elected to Office
and told the judge who was to swear
him in that he didn't know why he
had been elected, but would like the
judge to qualify him.

judge, "but God Almighty alone car
qualify you"

with creamy white valenciennes lace.
The lower part of the sleeves is

SKIRT STYLES FOR CHILDREN
Popular Rule Is to Make Garment
Short; Low WaistIine Favored
by Majority.

The question of skirt length has not
been disturbing one in styles fol-
children as it has in those for grown
ups this season, the popular rule being
to make garments for juveniles alb
breviated as to length.
Up to the age of fourteen there iG
no rule in regard to waistline placing
this somewhat imaginary point being
high, normal or low, according to the
figure of the child. The girl of four
teen, however, finds the low waistline
favored in her frocks and many little
coat dresses that are practically
replicas of those approved for women
are worn by these young girls.

Embroidery on Rugs.

Rag rugs for the bedroom have
cross-stitch patterns in wool as extra
decoration and the effect is bright
and cheerful-what everybody is look
ing for in bedroom furnishings now /!
An oval rag rug in white, blue and
black coloring has stripe of gay red
and yellow flowers running around on
one of the white stripes about four
inches inside the edge Of the rug. A
pink and white rug has a wreath Of
pink roses with green leaves. Some
times the embroidered pattern has
floral motifs; sometimes a conven-
tiOnal design in block or scroll effect.
