A full box- pleated skirt is attacked to a straight- hanging jumper a little below the nor- mal waistline and the whole hangs from the shoulders. The worsted em- broidery on the front of the jumper and on the pockets is worked in black, red and yellow. Rich embroideries continue to figure very prominently in all dresses.

The delicate shades must be washed with care to preserve their colors, and there ii no denying that it is well worth the trouble for the satisfaction that one f;:els from possessing dainty lingerie.

New Russian Paper to Have Weekly Edition in English. Another daily newspaper shortly makes its bow to the Russian public. It will be called Lutch, and published at Konovaloff by a Moscow merchant recently vice-president of the Duma and a Petrograd banker named Grube. Maxim Gorky will be literary editor and Prof. Vinogradeff foreign editor. It is proposed to issue a weekly bul- let in in English. There is a growing demand among Russian readers for an up-to-datii presentation and discussion of the issues raised by the war. Noth- ing is more characteristic of develop- ments in Russia to-day. Vinogradeff is a distinguished Oxford profes.sor in jurisprudence. a HOW TO CURE ! STOMACH TROUBLE The Common Cause is Lack of : Blood â€" Therefore You Must I Build I'p the Blood. i There is the most intimate relation , between the condition of the blood and the activity of the stomach. The blood depends upon the stomach for a large part of its nourishment; while every act of digestion, from the time the food enters the stomach and is as- similated by the blood needs plenty of pure well-oxidized blood. The mus- cles, glands and nerves of the stomach work only according to the quality of the blood. ; The most common cause of indiges- 1 tion is lack of rich, red blood. Not only does impure blood weaken the muscles of the .stomach but it lessens the product of the glands of the in- testines and stomach, which furnish the digestive fluids. Nothing will more promptly cure indigestioa than' plenty of pure blood. Dr. Williams'; Pink Pill.< are the safest and most cer- ; tain blood-builder. .\ thorough trial j of these pillj gives a hearty appetite, perfect dige tion, strength and health, j Here is proi^f of the value of these j pills in cases of indigestion. Mr. Dan- iel Dexter, Liverpool, N.S., says: â€" "For several years I was a great suf- ferer from indigestion. I was great- ly troubled with gas on the stomach which caused disagreeable sensations. I was also frequently troubled with nausea and vomiting, which were very distressing. .\s a result of my trouble my appetite almost completely failed. ' and what 1 did eat caused me constant pain. I was continually doctoring but did not get any benefit, and had about ni.ide up my mind that I would suffer f ".1 life. One day a friend asked me why I did not try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and while I had not much hope | of a cure I decided to do so. I had j only taken a few bo.Kes, :. >wever, when I found they were helping me. Very I gladly then I continued the use of the , pills, and in less than three months I was as well as over I had been, able to eat a hearty meal, and to feel that life ^ was again worth living. I had also been troubled from time to time with attacks of rheumatism, and the use of the pills cured this as well as the in- i digestion. It is now over a year since I took the pills, and in that time 1 1 have had no return of the trouble." j Dr. Willianms' Pink Pills are sold by ' all dealers in medicine or may be had , by mail at 50 cents a box or six bo.\es for $:J.50 from The Dr. Wil- j Hams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. » . ! THE WILY ABSENTEE. i I Instances of Men Seeking to Evade ' Their Military Ubligalions. ' A little while ago a man who was "wanted" for the .\rmv v\as found hid- ing up a chimney. This WHS but one instance in w^iich men have sought to evade their mill- \ tary responsibilities by concealing j themselves. In another ease an ab- sentee was discovered in a garden j tool-shed, while recently, in Yorkshire, there was a many days' chase after H conscript, says London .\nswers. When spotted the man made for a river, shedding his coat as he ran, and finally escaped among gorse-bushes and thistles. He vanished utterly, though the police found traces which showed that he spent nights under haystacks and lived on turnips. Dartmoor is said to be harboring many eligible men. In that wild tract you may wander for days and only meet half-wild ponies and cattle. Wa- ter is plentiful, but beyond its cattle and ground berries Dartmoor is a barren larder in which to search for food. Occasionally an absented is clever enough to outwit his escort even after he has been captured. \ Scottish cor poral lost his stripes through being duped. The absentee asked if he could say good-bye to his mother,, aaU per- mission being granted, went unattend- ed into the next room. After a short while the corporal smelt a rat. Of course, it wa.s too late. He found no mother â€" onlj^'^an open window! How It Looked To Tommy. A teacher was trying to impress ^ her pupils with the note of interroga- j tion in reading. She wrote this sen- tence, "Where are you going?" on the | board, a.nd asked Tommy to read it. i Tommy read "Where are you going" â€" no query mark. She had him do it again. There was no change. "Now, | Tommy," she said, "look carefully at j that sentence and see if you don't notice some difference between it and 1 the others we've had. Be sharp now, and read it again." Tommy wriggled back and forth in an effort to be "sharp" and then the light of knowl- edge shone forth from his eyes and he read: "Where are you going, lit- tle button hook?"
