'" Uwf'SBnli - r,th There Is really an endless assort ment of blouses all ready for women who look to the blouse more than ever to provide them variety In their ap parel. Since we may not huve so many frocks, what with the scarcity of wool mid labor and everything, we must turn to the blouses made of cot tons or those of silk to add the spice of variety to skirts and suits that are serving overtime. i Iilouses are of two characters those that are moderate in price any ; where from ubout three dollars to ;elght or ten and those that employ 'lavish or difficult handwork (hat brings their value up to two or three .times the outside prlco of those in the other class. It seems inconsistent to talk of wur-tlme economy In the same breath with these extravagantly priced affairs, hut It Is not always so; some of them nrc remarkably durable. The blouses that most women will buy, however, are the moderately priced tniulclH that are new and smart In do Islgn. French voile, tine batiste and georgette crepe are the' materials to ; select no matter what the price for lit Is not in the materials but In the ;lnces and other decorative features 'that take much time to make, that the high value lies. Women who know how to do exquisite needlework have the advantage because thev enn do Malhemu- this exacting handwork for themselves. (Fine organdie Is another material that I helps solve the problem of dainty : blouses nt moderate prices. Georgette remains u great favorite and the two new models shown in the picture for fall ore of this delicate and beautiful muterlal. They arc among the considerable number that either slip on over ilie head or fasten along one shoulder. In the blouse at the left two colors are used a panel at the front in color Joined to the whlto of the blouse by bonilwnrk. Hemstitching Is used in voile or other cottons and in silks to introduce a be coming touch of color by Joining It to white blouses. This blouse . has the round neck finished with a frill nnd the bands of ribbon laid over the cuffs, which are among new style features. The blouse nt the right Is of geor gette in a pale color, braided with sou tache In the same shade. It fastens on the shoulder under a collar that Is ornamented with two small silk cov ered halls. , Heavy Rest Robes. Along with the rest robe of such heavy materials as corduroy nnd vel vet go the comfortable and warm gar ments of nlbatross. Nothing Is better than this fabric for a house gown of any sort; It Is very soft anil supple nnd light and warm. Some pleasing little robes of albatross have wide deep berthas of finest lawn embroidered with Honors of the same color lis the His Remarkable Medicine Accomplish ing Wonderful IlesDlU in Leading Cities. Referring to tho visit to Portland and other western cities of Mr. I T. Cooper, the millionaire philanthropist and lecturer, who has commanded tuch widespread interest in the east with his health theories and celebrated med icine, Tanlac, E. C. Harris, his repre sentative, recently said in Portland. "Thousands of the most prominent , people in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Den-' vor, Salt Lake City, Detroit, Louis- j vilie, Dallas, Atlanta, Memphis, and other cities, where his celebrated meil- icirte has been accomplishing such re- j markable results, ure even more en-f ll.usiustic over Tunlac than Mr.l Cooper himself. . I "As previously stated, Mr. Cooper! contends that nine-tenths of the dis eases und ill health of the average person is due to a catarrhal condition, which produces faulty digestion and j improper assimilation of the food. In a recent interview, Mr. Cooper! was asked if Tanlac would relieve kidney trouble, liver complaint, rheu matism and a down other ailments, und in this connection, suid: "As 1 have repeatedly suid, my med icine acts directly on the mucous msmbranc, stomach and blood, expell ing irum incm uie unpuriiies anu loxiCj prisons, unu rendering io mem a btiong, healthy condition. I am con vinced that the stomach regulates the condition of the blood, and is the foun tain head of health or disease, as the case may be. My medicine is intended primarily for the regulation of the stomach and catarrhal Inflammution, but it is no uncommon thing for per sons who have used it to come to me' und explain that it lias relieved them of rheumatism nnd many other ail ments, not generally recognized ns having their origin in stomach trou ble." 'The ingredients or medicinal ele ments which make Tanlac, come from many remote sections of the earth the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian Asia, West Indies, mountain stutcs near the Rocky mountains, Mexico and Peru are among tho points from which the principal pnrts of the preparation are obtained.

The Food Administration has a big problem to solve. Its duty is two-fold to save foods and also to preserve industries. One of the hardest problems of the Food Administration is the . candy industry as it relates to sugar. We all know that we must save sugar to supply our allies, The Food Administration reulizcs, too, that the candy industry is the 38th largest industry in the country, and that it is a highly respectable industry, producing an article of great food value and giving employment to thousands of people, about 75 per cent of whom ure women. It realizes, too, that the candy industry really uses only a verj smull part of the national consumption of sugar In fact less than seven pounds out of the 81 pounds (only about 8 per cent) of sugar used annually by everyone in this country goes into the making of candy. While out of that 84 pounds less than seven pounds go into the making of candy; (id pounds are used up on the table in the home. It is plairt to see that the chief place to conserve sugar effec tively and easily is right in the home in the sugar bowl. 9. Many people who have felt that the way to handle the sugnr situation was to put the candy men out of business, now realize that only u very small saving i:i the home will do much more than could possibly bo gained by throwing the candy industry out of business. -,. Already the candy industry has betn cut squarely in two and it is now time for fair-minded people to know the truth, so that a gi eat industry may not be completely suspended. The candy industry uses comparatively little sugar and that which it does use is not wasted, but turned into a highly nutri tious food product which goes to supply tho natural need of car bohydrates (bodily fuel) of ull our soldiers in Franco nnd in the cumps, by the men, women and children at home. material and setilloned with stitches I of note, those medicinal herbs, roots the color of the (lowers, the scallops j and barks are assembled in the rough heing edged with lace frills. und painstakingly developed so as to attain that high standard of efficiency 4th grade, Miss Hanoi SchoK; 3rd L'tnfln.
