THE GREY LADY Takes the Place of the “Pink Lady’’ Says Maggie Rohe—Miss Up-to-date TAKES ON THIS SHADE' From Tip of Her Toe to the Top of Her Lovely Dove —Colored Chapeau. (By Margaret Rohe, written for the United, Press) New York, July 3.—ln spite of the gold and July sunshine, these are ! grey days and both the outlook and an occasional beeting little look-in are epually considered a demure. Grey has long been considered a demure and trifle sombre about the newest silver toned lingerie of moire Georgette crepe. It is as coquettishly and frivolously worldly as even a summer siren could desire. It seems as if it were fashioned from the fairy cobwebs of dreams ,or as if some magic fingers had captured the elusive smoke wreaths from a poet’s pipe .laid them out upon a cutting table and whacked them into camasoslse, combinations and chemises for a perfect thirty-six. Plain, save for a wee filet or Cluny edge and the gleam of shiny twotoned satin ribbons in flesh, pale blue, mauve or corn color, these sheer and fary garments rely for their main beauty on the lovely silver ripples of the grey moire material. In fact they are almost tailored in their chaste severity of line. The use of the double faced two-toned satin ribbon is also a new note on the new’ nighties and everything and is the only form of two-facedness that has much in its favor. There is only one derogatory word to be dropped anent this lingerie of

grey and that is that some sordid and prosaic souls may intimate it’s ( dovelike tints are acquired only at the expense of a too long abstinence! from the suds, tubs, and rubs of a modern Madame Sans Gene. Parisiennes feet have for long time since been clothed to simulate the little grey mice of Bobbie Burns imagery only they have a long way, to peck out since the skirts of Paris • are still knee high. Grey silk hosiery, and grey suede pumps and oxfords. are now going strong up and down ■ Fifth Avenue and in the ways and byways of four smallest summer resorts. | The grey frock of Georgette or organdie holds first place among the, smart costumes of the moment and a quaint model of the dove organdie has a surplice collar of scalloped white organdie and deep turn back ( cuffs of the same in approved Quak-' er or Pilgrim fashion. Many of the grey gowns -show a touch of yellow as a trimming usually in the form of a sash or crushed girdle of satin or picot-edged ribbon. This combination of grey and yellow is a charming one and is carried out with happy effect also on hats. The large floppy hats cf grey milan, tagal or crin, bloom with buttercups, nasturaiums. lemon colored dahlias and, creamy yellow tea roses. 1 Dove grey sedue gloves are of course the latest wrinkle to wrinkle over well tanned forearms up to sleeves ,and there. are lovely grey meet the short above - the - elbow i suede and soft grey bead bags re-! lieved with yellow, mauve or pink floral designs that make just the proper perfect grey finish to a perfect little grey lady. Capes of grey in taffeta satin or tricolette envelope the summer girl in a soft grey cloud of evenings and parasols of silver toned taffeta proI tect her from the fiery orb of day. | Indeed, though the prospect be | grey this season, it is no less gay and at the seductive riot of grey lingerie, frills and fripperies on display the shades of early Pilgrim maids across the Stynx may well exclaim in astonishment "Year verily, grey was never like this in our young lives.” _ Tn clden days people used to boil snails in barley water as a cure for a i cough. i 1

Bell, St. I James City, Fla., “and for the past • six months I have been almost past ’ going. I couldn’t stoop down and when I began taking Foley Kidney Pills. 1 and before I used two bottles my pain ' was all gone.” They are prompt in action and quick to relieve backache, rheumatic pains, swollen joints and so , -e muscles. ’ Sold Everywhere.

FOOD IN RUSSIA (By Frank J Taylor, United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, July 4. —Russia is not starving to death, as reports indicate. Parts of Russia are hungry, some people are starving, but still others are over-fed. As in the days of the old regime, Russia is the land of extremes, in food as in everything else. In the public markets, along the streets, of Moscow you can buy practically any kind of food you want. You can get any quality you are willing to pay for. The famous Moscow “Butcher Row” flourishes as never before with plenty of fresh meat for those who have money. The soviet government once forbade the sale of food in these open markets on the ground that it was | capitalistic exploitation. At once food became more scarce and prices soared unbelievably. Business continued "good," though not "as usual” —it was conducted on the quiet. Executions and other favorite forms of punishment failed to end I buying and selling on the quiet, and i the bolsheviks finally adopted a policy of ignoring private business in ; food. ! It was found that suppression of i open sale of food had a decided efj feet on public morale. People be- . came hostile and gloomy when they could not buy if they had the money. The soviet government aims to supply the people with food at cooperatives, which sell a limited ■ amount on the card system for official prices. The difficulty is getting enough to sell to the peep l ” to keep them alive. At present there is not enough. Fourteen million roses were distributed in London on the occasion of , the recent Alexandra day celebration.

FOR THE HOSPITAL Considering disease as the greatest enemy of mankind the past thirty 1 years have been memorable ones in the victories won. by the medical men I and sanitary* scientists, over this enemy. Over a century ago Jenner. ' witho-j' knowing the cause of small ; r*x. removed its terror with his vaccine. Years later Pasteur by his discovery of germs and showing them to be the primary cause of most diseases, paved the way for rapid marks ! against the enemy and himself found the cure or rather the treatment for H the prevention of hydrophobia. i Today, malaria fever, typhoid fever yellow fever, bubonic plague, diphtheria. as well as a number of other I diseases have lost the majority of ; their terror because of our knowledge and tontroll of them. : But there is one plague, tuberculosis, the great white plague which so far, largely through sentiment, we have not been able to control!. | This disease was known as the white plague to the Ancient Romans and was considered so serious by , them that they established isolation . camps where those afflicted with it were compelled to go very much as lepers are treated in oriental countries today. They recognized the contagiousness of the disease without knowing the cause of it and so took drastic but effective means of eon- . trolling it. I I believe that the people of Adams county are fully as progressive in this A. D 1019. as the Romans were back before Christ had preached His doctrines of love and good will and starti vd them journeying down the ages. I Let us hope so at least. I do not believe there is a single tax payer in Adams ciunty so closely related to those domestic animals known as Berkshires. Palond Chinas j and Razorbacks, that he would begrudge less than one-fourth of one per cent of his taxable property for the benefit and life of these unfortunates to say nothing of the protection i to his own self and family. ' To my mind the greatest benefit lo be derived from a sanitorium is ’ the isolating and educating of these tuberculars. Tuberculosis is a contagious disease just as smallpox and measles are contagious and if we can keep those afflicted with it from coming in contact with others the majority of cases will be avoided while ‘hose who receive sanitorium treatment will know much tetter how to protect their families and friends. They will not spread their germ laden sputum over our streets to dry,

DANGERS OF HOT WEATHER Anyone is doubly liable to ill ef- ' sects from the hot sun when the stomach and bowels are clogged with a mass of undigested food. If you suffer from sick headache, biliousness bloating, coated tongue, “heaviness” or any ill caused by indigestion take a Foley Cathartic Tablet and you will feel better in the morning. J. L. Horton, 505 W. Fair St., Atlanta. Ga., writes: "I found myself feeling like a new man. Folev Cathartic Tablets are the best ever.” i Sold Everywhere.

there and later to be picked up by ' God’s pure breezes and inhaled into I bur lungs. Every argument is in favor of a tubercular sanitarium in Adams coun- ■ ty and I am sure every right minded I man and woman in the country are i not only for it but intend to see to it that we get it.
