In the Vanguard of Spring Styles
Improve
If the pretty suit for Bprtng, which
> pictured above, had nothing else
o recommend it but the charm of stm-
icSty, it would still possess the best
411 attributes of the street dress,
-ut it has also the distinction which
mgs to novelty in design and is
ompeilingly good to look at.
This is one of a number of new mod-
is in which taffeta is combined with
; cloth ir. making up suits. In this
: :icular case it is made up with
ergo. The skirt is wide and plain,
'tb most of the fullness disposed at
he sides The facing, of serge, is
ary wide and is set on to the taffeta
vith a double row of machine stitch-
g. Skirts made in the same way.
cloth, are faced up with leather in
fee same color as the cloth, set on
cq a small piping of leather, and
-fire among the earliest imports of
he season.
The smart coat of taffeta is designed
-■tth a yoke of serge and finished at
r.e bottom with a wide banding of
t. This is rather an exception to the
rule of bandings on street suits, but
is admirable because It corresponds
with the skirt facing, as it should.
The plain,* wide belt is of the serge
also and the sleeves are finished with
cuffs of it
The sailor collar is made of the taf-
feta and stands rather high at the
back. It is protected by a white or-
gandie collar wltb scalloped edges,
and this is decorated with black hem-
stitching, another of the new-style
features for spring, in the coat, as
in the skirt mor t of the fullness is
gathered in at the sides at the waist
line, where it is apparently confined
by the belt
It would not be easy to find a more
dependable style in a spring suit than
this. It is one of many in which t^o
materials are combined, but it is not
alwsys done with such nice balance.
The silk and cloth are of the same
shade and usually in dark colors.
Less practical but very elegant suits
are made In light gray and In tan
color.

Christian Temperance Union.)
LITTLE REGARD FOR TRUTH.
“I guess we will have to have a
prohibition press agert for the state,"
remarked Governor Capper of Kansas
to a representative of the Kansas City
(Mo.) Journal, as he ran through a
big raft of letters and communica-
tions regarding prohibition.
*Tt is remarkable hew little regard
for truth sumo people have,” said the
governor. “For instance, here is a
man in Brooklyn, writing to the New
York Tribune, solemnly stating that
during his residence in Kansas from
1905 to 1913 he saw more boys under
sixteen years old drunk in this state
than he had seen men drunk in other
states In all his life. Just think of
such an absurd statement. He also
says that the hotels in all the big
towns of the state pay monthly fines
for handling liquor. As a matter of
fact there isn’t a single hotel in Kan-
sas paying monthly fines; nor in fact
are monthly fines being charged any-
where. The supreme court knocked
that system out nine years ago.
“All sorts of arguments are pht up
by the wets against prohibition, but
there are two points they ignore.
One is that Kansas is well pleased
with prohibition, regardless of what
others may think of her; the other is
that if a man can’t spend his nickel
for a glass of beer he has that nickel
with which to buy a loaf of bread for
his family.”
Girls! Try Thlsl Makes Hair Thick*
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful—No
More Itching Scalp.
Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch; but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks' use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first—yes—but
really new hair—growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No dif-
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz-
ing—your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an incomparable luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any store, and provo
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any—that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment—that’s
all—yon surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if you will just try a lib
tie Danderine. Adv.

QUESTION NATIONALIZED.
"I have been forced tc the conclu-
sion that the only effective way to
deal with the liquor question is by and
through the action of the national
government,” is the declaration of
United States Senator Borah of Idaho.
"The liquoi interests-themselves have
nationalized the question. The large
distilleries and manufactories of intox-
icating liquors supply every state in
the Union from some particular manu-
facturing plant so that it becomes in
every sense a matter of Interstate con-
cern and a matter which can be ef-
fectually controlled and regulated
through the national government
which alone can deal with interstate
matters.
“If i had felt that it could be dealt
witltby the states alone I would have
much 'preferred to see it dealt with In
that way. But I feel sure that it has
passed beyond the control of the states
and has become a national question in
every sense, economically, commer-
cially and politically.”
BOOZER A POOR PATRON.
A letter purporting to come from
a business agency, asking for the cred-
it ratings of certain men, was received
by a banker. Discovering that it came
from a liquor dealer, he replied as fol-
lows:
“The fact that you did not state
the nature of your business led me
to suspect that you were asking in
the interest of the liquor business. If
my suspicions are correct, I do not
blame you for being ashamed to show
your flag. I pity you for being in
the business at all. I know the men
referred to but have no specific in-
formation for you. I know this much,
which I am willing to tell you, that
they would have better credjt in this
bank if they did not use your stuff.
"As a bank, we know that the man
who is a good patron of your business
Is a poor patron of ours.”
WANTED, A NATION-WIDE POLICY.
The policy of prohibition has failed
to achieve among us in the past an ad-
equate success, because wherever
tried it has been only prohibition in
spots! But sanitation in spots—vac-
cination, quarantine, sewerage, pure
water supply only here and there—
such an arrangement would not give
n a satisfactory improvement in pub-
lic health. Nothing will do but a pol-
icy of public hygiene that is nation-
wide. Just so with prohibition, a ne-
cessity to public health, moral and
physical. The liquor power can only
be struck at its vital center when hit
by a national law. That blow given
and then scores of minor evils, caused
by drink, that cannot otherwise be
reached will disappear.—The Congre-
gational 1st

HAS LARGE BALANCE.
The treasurer of Kalamazoo county.
Michigan, the county In which Is situ-
ated the city of the same name, re-
ports a balance of $25,728 for the year
ending September 30, 1915. This bal-
ance is significant when it is remem-
bered that the county went dry on
May 1 of that year and thereby for-
j felted $20,000 in liquor license rev-
enue. For the year ending Septem-
ber 30, 1914, the balance amounted to
only $6,878.30, practically $19,000 less
than for 1915, although the county
treasurer received for 1914 the liquor
license revenue which was forfeited
the following year.
