WOULD CHANGE OUR CARE
Members of American Relief in Rus sia Take Up Blouse Fad, Would Introduce It Here.

Moscow, Sept 9.-America may be threatened with a new style in it's summer masculine dress if many of the American relief administration personnel in Russia carry out their promise to introduce in the United States the Russian blouse.
 The Americans have found that the Russians, who experience ex- treme of winter cold and summer heat even more varied than in the northern plains states of America, knew what they were about when they invented the Russian blouse for hot wather comfort. Many of the Americans are wearing the blouses, particularly in the provinces.
 The blouse does away with the necessity of wearing coat. The most popular style is a linen gar ment, cut square at the bottom and not at all like the tails" of shirt. It is not tucked into the trousers but worn outside, with a belt about the waist, loosely buckled to permit free circulation of the air. The collars are either of the low turn over type, or the close fitting, military collar like that of an army tunic. Some of the blouses are decorated with bright-colored embroidery about the collar and edges, but none of them is any way feminine in appearance.
 With trousers, shoes and stockings, light underwear and a natty blouse the Russian considers himself prop erly garbed for the summer

A three-months' study of motor acct
dents on Maryland roads has brought
to light the interesting disclosure that
Il vast majority of the disasters that
overtake motorists are brought upon
themselves by their own recklessness,
and hat 30 per cent of them are due
to speeding, says Il writer in the Pub

Of public roads, United States Depart

Few Accidents in Dangerous Places.
One of the interesting develop
ments of the Investigation" the jour
nal goes on to say, lis that the largest
number OF accidents have occurred at
the places that have always beer
considered safe, while the sections
which have been commonly regarded
as being extremely dangerous are
proving to be relatively free from
accidents" Where the State highway
crosses the Blue Ridge mountains, in
the western part of the state, and
grades are steep and curves sharp,
there were but eight accidents during
three months. On the National pike,
between Baltimore n Frederick,
where there are AS miles of the
straightest road in the state, the
record for the same time showed six
teen accidents, three of which were
fatal. "And yet" says the publica-
ton, "few stretches of highway in
the whole road system are so free
of any features which might be con-
sidered as dangerous"
On the Baltimore-Washingto road,
with all apparent danger spots re-
moved, the record shows that during
the same period there was n accident
for every our miles of road.
Accidents in Safe places.
There seems to be only one an
swer to account for these hitherto un.
suspected conditions" the article says.
That answer is:
Even the less careful motorists
drive cautiously in the presence of
recognized dangers, such as steep
grades, sharp urves grade crossings
etc. while the absence of such danger
Gus features gives the driver a sense
of security which prompts him to
take a chance and yield to the well.
nigh universal passion for speed"
Few accidents were due, It was
found, to the condition of the roads
themselves, and most of those were
due to slippery surfaces caused by
rains.

II You Need a Medicine

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 PLAINTIFF 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 DIR. Kilmer's swamp Root, a
preparation | 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 DIR.
hilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri.
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
