8 -r Dearth of Men at Dances in Prospect. , Married folks dinner dances at the various country clubs will be more lopular this year than ever Deiore. ,Vhen a few of the club tried the plan last vear and the year before they proved immensely popular. The old fashioned waltz and two step set the feet qf our elders to twinkling over the waxed floors in genuine youthful fashion, for, truth to tell, they are not far from youthful themselves now adays. This vear all the sirts are bemoan itig the fact that (he club dances will be destitute ot their young menus, admirers and beaux. It is a sad pros pect from a dancer's viewpoint, is it not? Matinee dances for the young women might be pleasant, but to have evening dinner dance parties without young men would be nign to impos aihle. If, though, there are plenty of dances for older people, this indoor sport may not lapse. Perhaps some of the handsome oider men may be seen dancing with their pretty young daughters and some of the Lord Chesterfields among our fathers and mothers may completely eclipse tne Beau Srummels among the young men. A cartoon in an eastern paper the other day was quite apropos to the subject and may illustrate the fate of some other young men. The young man in the cartoon was labeled the "Bore." In the picture which showed him "Before," the poor fellow was be ing reiusea pcrmissiorKio out a dance with a young woman. In the second scene, which showed him "After," the girls were all crowding around nun, smiling their sweetest and begging for t he privilege to dance with him. Doubtless some poor Omatyi chaps who have not been able to hit it oft very well with the fairer eex may experience a radical change in atmosphere this summer at the country clubs.

Your stomach may be debilitated, your liver torpid, your bowels con stipated, or you may be eating too much. Many people eat more than they should, particularly those of middle age or older, and those of sed entary habits. If your lack of appe tite or relish for your food arises from either of these causes, correct your habits and take a few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets. They will do you good, give you a better appetite and make you feel better. Adv. FRECKLE-FACE Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots. How to Remove Easily. Here's a chance.

Mra Tnnpa xava her hrnther who lives in the mountain in the west, received a letter about twenty years ago asking for the heirs of. Henry O'Donnell and Columbus O'Donnell.

In its origi nal development it is of blue serge and a very dull, almost bronze-like, gold. It has been adapted and modified so that none of its smart ness is sacrificed, but so that the average figure will find it far more wearable than the too extreme original. White serge embroidered in pale gold was used for this adaptation. The buttons are of serge and the belt, which slips from under the tunic, is of loosely woven gold braid. Tfns dress shows the trend of fashions toward the Orient. It was inspired, as even a casual glance sug gests, by nothing less than a wonderful old Chinese rug. Each of the three large square medallions has a Chinese dragon design and the edging scroll work looks like another theft from the rug weaving of the far east. Roads Must Use Gondola Cars for Coal Exclusively Omaha railroad offices have been advised that under the ruling of -the railway subcommittee of the Council for National Defense, gondola can will be used only for transportation of coal in the future. It is believed thfs will relieve the car shortage for hauling coal and enable producers to hasten delivery of tile fall and winter supply to dealers. Gondola cars have been used to a great extent for hauling sand, broken stone and building material.
