Backache Spells Danger Do you know that your bad back may be merely a hint of some hidden, deep•eated kidney disorder? Census records show that deaths from kidney disorders have increased 72% in 20- years People can’t seem to realise that the first pain in the back, the first disorder of the urine, demands instant attention—that it may bo a signal of coming rheumatism, gravel, dropsy or fatal Bright's disease. The best prevention of serious kidney disorders is prompt treatment—the best medicine Is Doan's Kidney Pills * An lowa Case Mrs O. X Jenkins V /QT. 509 H Chestnut St.. sEtf*!

That Printer Again!

The advertisement had puzzled the applicants, but the rector was stilA more puzzled when some fifty or more ladies ranged themselves alongside his house at the appointed hour. “I can keep a set of books,” replied the first applicant, “but I haven’t a bass voice." . .[ The rector seemed still more puzzled. t “Indeed,” went on the fair one, "I don’t think you’ll get a lady clerk with a bass voice.” A light seemed to dawn on the rector, and he took a paper off the side table and looked for his advertisement. This was how 4t ran: “Lady clerk wanted, with good bass voice.” “The insertion of a *d* has caused all this trouble,” he said with a smile, as he dismissed the fifty anxious applicants. “I wanted a lay clerk.”

Her father’s voice floated from the head of the stairway. “Geraldine?" "Yes, papa.” “Has that young man gone?” "No, papa; it’s, only ten o’clock." “Send him home right away, and before he goes tell him it’s midnight so he can start his watch and the hall clock again." The world Is charitable enough to forgive the man who writes poetry only because he needs the money.

PRETTY, USEFUL BAGS

ALWAYS HANDY, AND QUITE SIMPLE IN CONSTRUCTION. One Designed to Hold the Duster and ' the Other for Broom Covers—illustration Shows Method of Designing.. A duster bag that the hand can slip in and out of easily, is the best kind. This one is made in flowered chintz or cretonne, lined with sateen and bound with braid or with a bias strip ?the sateen, having a loop at the top hang it by. It is twelve inches

made in figured material, is 13 inches wide at the bottom, tapering slightly toward the top, and is 15 inches long. It has a flap of 6 inches* depth. Three loops of the braid are sewed at the back to hang it by. The broom bags are made very much the same shape, only smaller, to fit the broom; a drawing string* is put at the top to draw it up tight around the handle.

KEEPING HANDS IN CONDITION

During Frosty Weather They Need Much Care and Will Repay Attention Given. It is very difficult to keep the hands soft .in frosty weather, especially if one is 1 one's own housemaid. An inexpensive wash if one has some leftover milk on hand is to soak them in warm milk. A bottle of glycerin and rose water kept on the bathroom shelf and' applied when the hands are wet after washing, will help also. Vaseline may promote a growth of hair on the hands, but there is nothing better for loosening dirt under the nails than a little vaseline pushed under the nail at night before retiring; it not only removes the soil,

GOWN FOR THE YOUNG LADY

Velvet Dresses Considered Most Ap-propriate-Changes In the Color of Neckwear. Velvet dresses for young girls are the smart thing of the afternoon wear. They are made with a long waist and a short skirt, made of two circular flounces; between these is a satin belt of sash. A collar of pique or lace, cut sailor or rounding, is the usual neck finish. The sleeveless over blouses of velvet that are seen on the grown-up dresses are also a feature of' those worn by girls of fourteen. They are rather like a middy blouse in shape, but not so long, and the arm-hole is very much enlarged, so that the foundation dress of serge shows. Different shaped buttons not only come in plain colors in dark modish shades, brown, plum, blue and fawns, but are also decorated by odd stripes of a contrasting color. Sometimes there is only one stripe across the center, sometimes it is the button edge that has pencillike lines of a deeper or lighter color. The suit coats are made both in the long and in the short lengths. Some of the smart models are of the redingote type, the coat reaching the three-quar-ter length. Some of the lace guimpes are of embroidered net of the applique type of lace, and they finish at the top with a round neck that does not come quite up to the base of the throat Last summer the lovely touch of wktte Deckwear was in organdie and 1

HOW TO ATTAIN PLUMPNESS

Simple Routine Will Enable Thia Girl to Secure Results in'Three or Four Weeks. The thin girl is coming into her own these days, but there is such a thing as being too thin. The words of Joseph Cawthorae, *T like ’em plump,” set the standard. This, plumpness can be obtained by careful effort. The first step towards this is to avoid nerves, fretting and irritability. Retire early and remain in bed as long as possible. Drink no tea or coffee, rather milk, cocoa or chocolate. Take mashed potatoes, with butter or cream, oatmeal, fresh bread, honey, eggs, tapioca; in short, all sugary and oily foods. No meat Take great care to eat slowly and masticate each morsel thoroughly. A nap either before or after dinner is beneficial Exercise must be regular and moderate. Horseback riding, tennis and boating are good. Vocal exercises enlarge the chest Small doses of cod liver oil should be taken several times a day. With strict application of these rules an improvement should be noted in three or four weeks.

VOGUE OF ARTIFICIAL FLOWER

Universally Popular, and Certainly Add Distinction to the Plainest of the Street Frocks. before have artificial flowers had such a vogue as they have just now. And a small corsage flower is one of the best means of giving color to a dark street frock or suit. There are bunches of tiny flowers in brilliant red that are very good. There are bouquets consisting of a rosebud, a few forget-me-nots and a sprig or two of green that are good. Then there are zinnias, nasturtiums, poppies and many other flowers in their own natural, rich coloring. The placing of the flower is rather important It can be placed on the left shoulder ..with good effect It looks well >t the of a ruff or a close collar of velvet and fur. Of course, the flower on an evening frock is usually part of the frock. That is to say, it is placed in position when the frock is made. However, a frock that needs a little refreshing can he brightened up with a new flower, and one of the newest places to put it is about half way down the back.

OF ORGANDIE AND BOBBINET

One of the Smartest Designs in Collars, Copying the Sailor Shape to a Large Extent Smarter than the elaborate lace collar is that of plain white organdie and bobbinet The collar is to be of'the laydown variety, and is smartest when shaped like a short but* long pointed sailor collar, the points coming well on the shoulders. The collar, which is of organdie, is hemstitched about the edge. The net ruffle should be from one-half to one and one-fourth inches wide, and is double. That is, there is no hem on the net it being simply a double fold of the material, the creased end being used as the bottom or edge of the ruffle. The bobblhet ruffle may be simply whipped to the collar, or after this is done a finish of buttonholing in color or plain white thread can be made over the joining of collar and ruffle. These dainty collars buttonholed in old blue, old rose or that gray-green are pretty indeed.

IMPROVED WORK BAG

Adelaide 8. Hemstreet of Indian Head, Canada, has just been granted a patent for a combination crochet work bag and spool holder. The work bag is suspended on a belt On the belt also Is placed a sheet metal bracket with arms for holding the spool. This allows the thread to be easily unwound as it is being used. There is no chance for the spool to slip off one’s lap and roll across the floor and for the thread to become tangled. It Is a practical invention, which should appeal to all women whd are still old-fashioned enough to del crocheting.

WESTERN CANADA’S OFFER IS AMERICA'S OPPORTUNITY

GROW GRAINS IN WESTERN CANADA, ENJOY AN EXCELLENT CLIMATE AND MAKE MONEY. With the European wheat fields desolated, and the farming population more than decimated, there will be for a number of years a demand for food products that has not been experienced in thd memory of the present generation. Everyone regrets the horrible war that has brought this about Its effects are felt not only in Europe, but in every part of the American continent Many lines of business have been hurt, but only temporarily it is hoped. Financial stringency is being talked of. There is a way of overcoming these things; and Western Canada offers the solution in its immense agricultural area, when the possibility of retrieving losses, making assured gains, and at the same time becoming a factor in providing the world with the one great requisite—wheat—is so pronounced that it cannot be overlooked. There are several ways in which excellent farming lands can be secured in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, and also British Columbia. In the first place the otter of the Dominion Government of 160 acres of land free to the settler is something not given by any other country. Conditions of settlement are easy. Live upon the land six months in each year, for a period of three years, cultivate about thirty acres, and erect a habitable house. Instead of cultivation, the keeping of a certain number of head of cattle will carry with it the same value. Many of these homesteads may be had in the open prairie area, where ’every acre can be put under cultivation, but to the man with limited means, in the park area, lying north of the central portion of three of the provinces named, there is afforded the best chance. In this park country are beautiful groves of poplar and willow, small lakes and streams, and sufficient open area to enable one to go into Immediate cultivation for crops of wheat, oats, barley and flax, any one of which does wonderfully well, . giving prolific yields. In due time when more land is required for cultivation, these groves may be cut down at small cost In the meantime, however, they have been valuable in providing fuel and shelter for cattle, which thrive wonderfully on the wild grasses that grow in abundance. Another plan is to purchase from some of the railway companies who hold large tracts, or from some responsible land company. The prices asked are exceedingly low and the terms'easy. Whether one may decide to locate in the open prairie area or in the park country the land will be found to be of the same general texture, a rich black or chocolate colored loam or a clay subsolL Again attention is drawn to the fact of the great opportunities for farming that are offered in Western Canada. Already a number of holders of tracts of land there, who are residents of the United States —business men, merchants, lawyers, bankers —men of foresight and keen knowledge of business, have decided Xo_ cultivate the lands they have been holding for speculation and wait no longer for a buyer to turn up. They are acting wisely. Canadian laws are as fair and just as can be found in the civilized world. Military service is not compulsory, nor is there one ounce of coercion used. Anything that is given to Great Britain whether in money or men is entirely voluntary. There is no drafting nor conscription of any kind. Already over sixty thousand of the young men of Canada have volunteered for service, and thirty-five thousand have gone forward, many of these having left their farms in their love for Great Britain and a desire to fight for their country. As a consequence, many farms may be left untilied. Therefore Canada. invites others to come in and take their places. This then is the opportunity for the American who wishes to better his own condition.—Advertisement

A sturdy Scot six feet five inches in height is a gamekeeper near Stafford, England. One hot day last summer he was accompanying a bumptious sportsman of very small stature when he was greatly troubled by midges. The other said to him: “My good man, why is it that the midges do not trouble me?” “I daursay," replied the gamekeeper, with a comprehensive glance at the other's small proportions, “it will be because they hevna seen ye yet”

The queer turns of the darky mind are aptly Illustrated in a little tale which comes from Representative Carlin of Virginia. One Sunday morning the family had gathered around the breakfast table, where waffles were among the delicacies in order. The little negro housegirl brought in the molasses pitcher and put it down. Then she opened the top and Observed a thin scum on the surface. “You’ll have to take that out, Angelica,” the mistress told her, “and pour some more.” The little darky headed for the door. And as she disappeared through the doorway the family heard her murmur: . “Po’ ol’ ’lasses, po’ oF 'lasses—even de po* ’lasses been oberdome by de heat!” * A man with money is welcome anywhere—if he will let his companion do the talking.

John Sloan, the well-known painter, pointed out at a tea in a pale stone palace in Fifth avenue the doubtful authenticity of a Correggio. At the end of his demonstration Mr. Sloan adjusted his pince-nez, looked about him in his grave, whimsical way and said: “Ladies, the old masters are indeed immortal. Most of them are still, producing chefs d’oeuvres at the rate of nine or ten a week for the galleries of our multimillionaires.”
