Hot Weather always starts those
quick chemical changes which pro-
duce poisons in meats, fish, fruits,
vegetables, milk and food products.
Such summer poisons in foods not
only make well stomachs sick but de-
velop with dangerous rapidity in
sensative, sick or ailing stomachs and
bowels.
These poisons not only generate
gases and fluids which cause that
bloated, lumpy feeling, heartburn, sour
stomach, belching, acidity, but endless
other stomach and bowel miseries.
A sure, safe, quick acting relief has
been found which absorbs and neu-
tralizes these poisons, too much acid
and harmful gases. EATONIO Tab-
lets, one or two taken after every meal,
will keep your stomach sweet. You
will have a good appetite to eat what
you like, when you want it and be

Get New Kidneys!
The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff-
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
tion; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright’s disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in-
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep-
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
It is the pure, original Haarlem Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap-
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store, and
11 it does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. Be
sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.
None other genuine. In boxes, three

Calomel makes you sick; you lose a
day’s work. Calomel is quicksilver
and it salivates; calomel injures your
liver.
If you are bilious, feel lazy, slug-
gish and all knocked out, if your bow-
els are constipated and your head
aches or stomach is sour, just take a
spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Liver
Tone instead of using sickening, sali-

is real liver medicine. You’ll know it
next morning because you will wake
up feeling fine, your liver will be work-

and ambition.

Three little inexpensive hats for the
small girl, in the picture above, dem-
onstrate that headwear need not be
fine in order to be tasteful. These
shapes are well blocked and very sim-
ply trimmed with velvet or silk rib-
bon in narrow widths and good qual-
ity. The braids are of the cheaper
kind, but they are substantial enough
for the short-lived millinery of the
little miss who is apt to put their stay-
ing qualities to the test.
At the left of the group the most
popular of shapes for little girls is
shown, made of a heavy tuscan braid
rather closely woven. It is the natural
straw color. Narrow blue satin rib-
bon is banded about it and finished
with a knot at the front, and the hat
is lined with blue silk.
Very much the same shape is shown
at the right, of white milan hemp.
Narrow satin ribbon, gathered along
one edge, is used to make a band and
medallions on the crown. There are
three small medallions, one at each
side and one at the back, and a larger
one at the front. A little blossom is
posed, with a bow of the ribbon, at
the base of each medallion. In this
particular hat the ribbon is light blue
satin and the blossom a pink wild
rose.
The odd hat of fancy braid (in the
natural straw color) at the center of
the picture is a Chinese inspiration.
The curious peak in the crown distin-
guishes it from other shapes and is
reminiscent of coolie hats and turbans
with distinguishing buttons at the top.
Narrow brown velvet ribbon makes a
band with ends crossing at the front,
where clusters of little buds are
Those who design suits showed us
just how adroit they could be when
they managed their early spring offer-
ings of wool. They had to be made of
the shortest allowance of goods, but
the designers made a virtue of neces-
sity and the conservation of wool
worked to the advantage of styles.
Later they turned to several new and
heavy weaves in silk as a substitute
for wool and for midsummer they were
able to forget all about saving ma-
terials and design suits of taffeta and
satin according to their own fancy.
These make the last of their offerings;
for now they must begin their work
for fall.
No one could ask for more than they
have done this season in giving us va-
riety in styles. In the pretty suit at
the left of the picture there returns
once more the banished plaited skirt,
with four double box plaits, to com-
mend it to the possessor of a slender
figure. The short coat boasts side
plaits below the waistline, the design-
er apparently determining to make the
most of the privilege of using plaits
again. The coat opens over a narrow
white vest, the straight pieces at each
side of the front having the effect of
scarf ends finished with pendent, silk-
covered balls.
The suit at the right is of black

Washable Walls.
Why should children prefer to write
on immaculate walls rather than on
writing paper? Because, first, their
mothers caution them not to do it, and,
second, because the walls are whiter
and the writing looks better on them
than it does on paper. But the time
has come when the mother need fear
for the white nursery walls no longer.
They can indeed, be changed from a
source of irritation to education-
al purposes by means of a finish which
makes them washable. In other words

Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, it is a sure sign that your lit-
tle one’s stomach, liver and bowels
needs a gentle, thorough cleansing at
once.
When peevish, cross, listless, pale,
doesn’t sleep, doesn’t eat or act natu-
rally, or is feverish, stomach sour,
breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore
throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a
teaspoonful of “California Syrup of
Figs,” and in a few hours all the foul,
constipated waste, undigested food
and sour bile gently moves out of the
little bowels without griping, and you
have a well, playful child again.
You needn’t coax sick children to
take this harmless “fruit laxative;”
they love its delicious taste, and it
always makes them feel splendid.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
“California Syrup of Figs,” which has
directions for babies, children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly on the
bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold
here. To be sure you get the genuine,
ask to see that it is made by the “Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Company.” Refuse
any other kind with contempt.—Adv.

points at each side of the back, and
these are embroidered also. The
sleeves are gathered into flaring cuffs,

Children’s Clothes.
There are many serviceable frocks
of linen of heavy weave. For some
reason, some of the smart children’s
outfitters have put out an unusual
number of linen frocks in yellow and
lavender; perhaps because these
colors are off the beaten track of
children’s equipment. We must all
have grown a little weary of the in-
cessant pink and blue conventionally
selected for little girls a few years
and more ago, observes a Paris fash-
ion correspondent. It does seem a lit-
tle odd to put lavender on a two-year-
old, doesn’t it? And yet one of the
most charming frocks recently shown
by a children’s dressmaker of note
was of white voile, with collars and
cuffs of violet organdie finished with
loose, coarse buttonholing.

win the war. After that I’ll be glad to
