A Picturesque Gown By GERTRUDE BERESFORD, A striking combination of black chiffon velvet and pink and silver brocade is shown in this evening gown. The front of the dress con sists of a straight panel of brocade, looped under near the hem. The back falls in a long train of black velvet, attached to a picturesque hood of velvet faced with brocade. This hood is very graceful and sug gestive of some old painting. In deed, the whole gown resembles the costumes of the ladies of King Arthur's court. The fullness at the waistline is held by a girdle of bro ( cade which ties at the side or may be tied low in front. There is a decided newness in the quaintness of this costume, which is very strik ing both in color and lines. rea Dausant.

Lo-operation between the bureau and other child welfare organizations, as well as of the va rious physicians and nurses, has been very close, and satisfactory work has been accomplished by their united efforts. A bulletin recently issued by the children's bureau says: "Not a sin gle baby died in one crowded Polish parish of Minneapolis last summer. Figures given out by the city for all parishes show that the baby deatli rate for last August was consider ably lower than that of the previous year. This, in spite of the war, which kills babies as well as soldiers, and the fact that August is one of the four most dangerous months of the year for children. This re markable decrease is attributed by the city physician to the child wel fare work which is being established as part of the Children's Year cam paign." Another bulletin says: "Any Des Moines child who is indiscreet enough to become sick will be promptly called upon by the health sergeant, who will tell about the care to be had at the clinics, of which the sergeant is an outpost. Many local child welfare committees are establishing these clinics. If the child is too sick to go to the clinic, the sergeant will see that the clinic goes to him." Women employed in cigar stores in Portland, Ore., are prohibited fro.m working after 8 p. m. 11 ' ; " " "' . ft Many Reports Show That Children's Year Has Lessened Mortality A partial tabulation of seven months' resultsV of the "Children's Year Campaign," started in April as a necessary war measure by the children's bureau of the Department of Labor, shows that interest in the question of economy of the child life Mrs. Catherine A. Morton has been elected state superintendent of public instruction in Wyoming. No Luck for Him This child won't play or smile. Ha is real sick, fiis tongue is white, breath feverish, stomach sour. He fears he is in for a dose of awful castor oil, cal omel or pills. How he hates them. He would rather remain sick. No! He won't tell mother! If his mother would only learn the value of candy 'Cascarets." Hpw children love this candy Cathartic how surely it acts on liver and bowels.. Red Cross Notes TO MOTHERS! Each ten cent box of Cascarets contains full direc tions for dosa for children aged one year old and upwards. Nothing else "works" the nasty bile, sour fermentations and constipation poison front the tender little bowels so gently, yet so thoroughly. Even cross, fever ish, bilious children gladly take Cascarets without being coaxed. Cascarets taste just like candy, Cascarets never gripe, never sicken never injure, but above all, they, never disappoint the worried mother. Zstablished 1890. 15? & DODGE Women Get Results.

"Why, Blue 'Jay and I saw you creeping along with your hat over your eyes, and we thought maybe you were a burglar or a German spy," she blurted out frankly. "He isn't a burglar and he isn't a spy he's a policeman," cried Helen indignantly. "And he's a nice poliecman, 'cause he b rings good eats to children who are hungry," spoke tip Toddy. Peggy had thought the man looked familiar to her. Now she recognized him. "Oh, you're Officer Casey," she exclaimed, much relieved. ''You go by our house every day. But why did you act so mysterious when you came here?" , Peggy now turned questioner and Officer Casey appeared much em barrassed. He turned very red and twisted his cap in his hands. "He did that because he doesn't want folks to know how good he is," said Helen, coming quickly to his defense. "lie's kind to folks instead of ar resting 'em," added Toddy.

Blue Jay, who had followed her into the room, tried to hide in a corner. "You're a great detective!" she said to him. "I'm not a detective, but I'd like to be," said Officer Casey, thinking she was speaking to him. "I was speaking to Blue Jay," ex plained Peggy in confusion. "Oh, it's a Bird," cried out Helen and Toddy together. "Can you talk Bird talk?" asked the astonished policeman. "Yes, I'm Princess of Birdland," answered Peggy.

HIGH XCXOOL Christmas Candies, 1918. What kind of candies should we make this Christmas? How much sugar can we spare for them? The government is putting the problem to us for settlement. With our pres ent allotment of sugar anyone can spare enough of the precious sweet ening to make the real sugar candies. Y'et it seems to me that so long as the world needs sugar, candy is one luxury that ought to be made with out it, or at least with only part sugar. It is not as thought we were en tirely dependent on sugar for can dies, because we are not. This sum mer I noticed in a western city a whole windowful of "sugarless" candies. Upon tasting some of the kinds I never would have known that sugar was lacking. Types of Candies. There are four main types of candies, classified according to the stage of hardness to which tlrey are cooked the soft ball, hard ball, the crack and the hard -crack. The names of the stages indicate the be havior of a small amount of the candy dropped into cold water. Thus when a spoonful of the boiling candy dropped into cold water can be gathered into a soft ball by the fingers, the candy has reached the soft ball stage. Many people now adays use a thermometer instead of the water tests. The degress are as follows: Soft ball ataRB 236 P. Hard ball stage 254 F. Crack stage 2B5 F. Hard crank stage 290 F. The soft ball candies are the creams, such as fondant and fudge; the hard ball candies are the cara mels, while the crack and hard crack candies are the so-called "hard" candies and taffies. The limitations of sugarless can dies, corn syrups, glucose and Co-Operation Miss Gross will be very glad to receive suggestions for the home economics column or to answer, as far as she is able, any ques tions that her readers may ask. honey differ from white sugar and maple sugar or syrups in one im portant respect, namely, they do not crystallize easily. Hence no cream candies can be "sugarless." All our soft ball candies must be struck off the list immediately. However, practically a'.l other "kinds of can dies may.be made very successfully with a large per cent, even 100 per cent of syrup. There is one other difference between syrups and sugar sugar is sweeter to the taste. Hence all syrup candy is not as sat isfying as one containing a small amount of honey or sugar. Since honey is sweeter than sugar, even a very small amount of it helps out a syrup candy. Caramels. Honey Caramels. i e. eorn ayrup. l e. milk.

"That's surely a wireless outfit stretched between those trees. What can it be doing away up here?" "Now, what does he mean by that," asked Officer Casey. "It is a wireless," muttered the man on the bed, 'I must look into this. Oh, oh, my head!" "Wireless." mused Officer Casey. "Who'd be having a wireless outfit in these parts? They are forbidden by the government for fear German spies would use them." "Ah, ha! I know this manl" shrieked Blue Jay, perching on the bed and looking down on the man Taking a "Dare." Dear Miss Fairfax: We are a sroup of girls of about 17. A short time apo a boy friend of ours was "dared" to refrain from talking to a lying there. "I saw him get banged over the head this morning away up in the hills." "Who banged him?" she cried. "A big, foreign-looking chap. This man was standing in the woods, gazing up at a lonely peak that's hidden high among the woods. The other chap sneaked up behind him and hit him on the head with a club. This man fell down, and the other chap was going to hit him again when men passing along a path not far away frightened him away." "What's the bird making all the noise about?" asked Officer Casey. Peggy excitedly interpreted Blue Jay's message. "Ah, ha!" said Officer Casey, just as Blue Jay had done. "I'm begin ning to figure this thing out. Wire less, a foreign-looking chap, an at tempt to kill the innocent man who stumbles on the secret outfit. Fer haps here's the answer to the mys tery of the messages going to the, submarines off our coast. Can your bird guide us to the spot where he saw this man hurt?"

And until dredges can clear the channel, the industrial schedule of the world is out of gear How about your own canal ? The intestinal canal is a clear passageway as far as the large intestine. There, if you become constipated, waste matter is allowed to stagnate It becomes unnaturally dry and undergoes abnormal fermentation and putrefaction. Germ activity is increased Your whole system is out of gear. Result, the production of irritating and poisonous substances, which are absorbed into your blood and carried all over ycfur body, liable to pro duce disease anywhere The longer such stagnation is allowed to exist, the harder it is to clean out the canal. 90 of human- disease originates in the "Culebra Cut" If engineers tried to blast out the slide from Culebra Cuthey would have more slides to cope with. If you try to blast out accumulated waste frofri your Culebra Cut with pills, salts or purges, you will increase your constipation and next time you will have to take stronger medicine in a larger dose. You can't dredge your canal You can clean it out with Nujol. Nujol softens the mass, and supplies the intestinal canal with sufficient moisture to replace deficient mucus. It causes the obstructive waste matter to pass gently out of your system at a regular hour, absorbing and removing the poisons as it goes. Nujol regularity keeps the traffic of your mind and body operating on schedule. You admire the Panama Canal system. Why not safeguard your own?
