Did you know that ninety per
cent of all human ailments depend
upon the condition of your blood?
Nature Rives her warnings in va
rious unmistakablo ways, so that
when the appetite fails, and you
become weak and listless and a gen
eral run-down condition seems to
take possession of the whole body,
it is an unfailing sign that impuri
ties will steadily accumulate until
your general health will be seri
ously affected. You should recog
nize the importance, therefore, of
very promptly cleansing out the
system, and keeping the blood sup
ply pure and roiwst.
Get a bottle of S. S. S. at your
drugstoro to day, and note how
promptly it builds up tho appctito
and gives new strength and vi
tality. Writo for free literature

Water Power In China.
China's great commercial water
highway, the Yang-tse ICIang. Is to be
put to work. To keep the river always
at flood level, and, Incidentally, to get
rid of rapids which Interfere with nav
igation, seven dams will be construct
ed. The project contemplates the de
velopment of 31,000.000 electric horse
power, and will cost $10,000,000.
This is the first Important water
power development undertaken In
China, whose industrial future has a
wonderful outlook In that direction.
For, thanks to Its lofty mountnln
ranees, the Flowery land lias far great
er water power available than any oth
er country in I ho world.

COMMON ERROR IN GRAMMAR
A widow never tells her age; sho's
always old enough to know better.
Some men never recognize nn oppor
tunity unless It Is labeled.
Words "Begun" and "Began" Are
Wrongly Used by Those Careless
In Their Speech.
It Is quite common to hear some
one say, "I begun to do that work
yesterday." "the battle begun between
(he two armies," etc. This use of
"begun" to express the past tense
(sometimes called the preterit) of
"begin" Is not Incorrect, according to
some authorities on the uses ot words,
but there Is a fairly general agree
ment that the better word to use Is
"began." If you wish to safeguard
yourself ugnlnt posslhle criticism, say
"1 tiegan to do thnt work yesterday."
"The battle begun between the two
armies." etc., not "begun."
Biehnrd Grand White, In "Words
and Their Uses." a high authority,
criticises and condemns the use ol
"begun" Instead of "began" to express
the past.
Of course, it is Incorrect beyond any
doubt to say, "1 have began" to ex
press tiie perfect tense of "begin."
Say. "1 have begun," aever "1 huve
began." Columbus Dispatch.

At Grocers Everywhere
YOU cannot think of anything much
prettier to dance In than this
llower-llke frock, which might lie nuuTo
accent on "tnffeffta." For there Is
of either satin or taffeta with the
something Joyous In the crlspness of
this particular silk that endows every
frock made of It with n certain buoy
ancy and the looms turn It out In ex
quisite shades of every color under
the sun. No other silk Is so tract
able when bouffant and spirited drap
eries are needed. Hut smooth, lus
trous satins have advantages .when
supple silks are required to carry out
the Idea In the mind of the designer.
The lovely party frock, shown In
the picture, reveals a new Interpreta
tion of the petal dress and looks like
n grent blossom. Four overlapping
pnnels, scnllopid at the bottom, nnd
faced back with satin, resemble long
petals. The deep facing weights the
pnnels In a way thnt Insures good lines
in the skirt, which Is gathered In,
all around at the waist line. It al
most goes without saying that the
bodice Is plain nnd It is worth not
ing "that It Is not very low and'Vns
a hand of georgettte at the top with
satin straps over the shoulders. Bod
Ices nre growing higher and short
sleeves gaining favor In every fashion
center, and at this rate we shall nr
rive at the square neck nnd elbow
sleeve mode before long. There never
was anything prettier or more becom
ing. Short drnperles at each side tend up
to high loops of satin at the back
of this frock and they nre reminders
of the bustle mode. The moderately
wide gltitle Is ornamented wltti a love
ly cluster of roses made of satin rib
bon, and mounted at the left side.
Some dance frocks linve no girdles,
their plain quaint bodices nre extend
ed a little below tho waistline, overlap
ping the top of the skirt nnd nro
"crushed," that Is slightly wrinkled
nbout the waist. Garlands of satin
(lowers or of vividly-colored 6ntln
fruits, ns grapes, little apples, cher
ries, make tho prettiest girdles that
ever were to encircle the waist In
ptace of n sasti. Where so colorful
and Important a decoration as this is
used, the skirts nre without drapery
but are very full and have wide hems.
Concerning Blouses
TIHC fashion reporter, like the Athe
nians, Is always looking for some
thing new, nnd the senrcti. In so fnr
as blouses are concerned, is a little
discouraging just now. Designers ap
pear to think without censing In terms
of georgette crepe any other materi
als, get only an occasional scrap of
their attention, anil these georgette
blouses merely provide the tlntne cf
embroidery for discussion; but that
they furnish In endless variations. A
very new nnd promising departure
points In tho direction of taffeta
blouses In plain colors, toned up with
pluld and striped ribbons nnd the time
will soon urrlve when the annual pro
cessions of lingerie blouses will pre
sent themselves In anticipation of the
needs of southern tourists.
Meantime embroidered georgette
blouses parade the work of the needle
woman or of machinery that under
takes to do the work of deft fingers,
mouses nnd smocks are clnssed to
gether and n discussion of one In
cludes the other The smock (or
blouse with a peplum) shown In the pic
ture, tin" the familiar round neck and
the plain girdle of georgette that ties
In front. Hut it boasts an unfamiliar
pip tern in embroidery, employing two
cnliiiK and iiiiiixuhI sleeves, long and
Hi iiu hi the wrists. The checker
'..m.' ( luM'iiidereil border and the mo
t tin i-n'i-r are quaint and child
ish and nre confined to the neck and
sleeves.
A new rival of the georgette blouso
appears In tho pretty taffeta Jacket,
mnde of plain silk and ornamented
with plaid or striped ribbon thnt is
selected to hnrnionlze with It and to
brighten it up. Small sllk-covered
buttons, painstakingly set on In neat
rows, are one means by which theso
Ingratiating new arrivals make them
selves engaging, but they nre sure of
a welcome anyway. Occasionally n
handsomely embroidered blouse of
ennton Invites us to consider Its ele
gance and to forget Its extravagant
price. The tnffetn blouse Is different
In character and, Jiy comparison, It Is
modest in price, because It requires
little handwork. It points In the di
rection of high necks and long sleeves.
