The waist coat is still a. popular 'addjunet to tailored apparel, A .smart suitof blue gabardine shows a waist coat of striped Mire and green ramie linen, There is much white and much black and white seen in. the sanar'ta est clothes of the season. Unex- pected touches of white appear on many of the modish costumes. A blue serge suit, for instance, will show a (belt with collar and cuffs of white and white spats. The waist has at Last slid grace- fully bank to its natural position, and 'while it is not greatly reduced, it is nicely rounded and has lost entirely its old straight look, The ltkirt rule •of "the fuller the width the shorter the length" is to remain for the summer frocks. "Each day brings in anew fashion feature and -rings out an old," says a. well known fashion writer. The "dainty .apron" is now re- ported to be de dernier cri in Paris. Real lace and muslin aprons, which - have mysterious pockets and which are held in place by ribbons ;tairown over the shoulders and fastened at the beak. These delicious little items of the feminine toilette came into favor •a short time ago for charity fetes and !for bazaars given for the .benefit of war funds. A great dressmaker saw ono of these aprons, .and seized upon the idea. She has introduced it, in -somewhat glorified form, on several of her new spring models, for afternoon wear, and already the lace and muslin. apron has caught on." They say that one of the most influential and fashionable Paris- ian dressmakers is determined to make small waists fashionable - again, says .a waiter in the Phila- delphian Telegraph. The ideais quite dreadful. We have, happily, become so used to our "natural" outline that the (bare idea of a twenty inch waist, with swelling hips in .attendance, is to nightmare, and yet—it is :a distinct possibility. If the majority ofwomen voted in favor of the splendid natural waist of the present moment; the ridicu- lous hour -glass caricature would not run a ,chance. Protests are useless when a radical change of outline becomes an accomplished fact. A smart gown recently seen shows a highly original evening frock of picturesque outline. Here you have the new tight .bodice at its !beat. A delightful little "peas- ant" corsage which is laced down the front, and which molds the, fig- ure. The anaterial of this corsage was delft 'blue taffetas, and the full skirt, which measured six yards around the hem, was in blue and white striped silk, with quaint bows of black velvet ribbon catch- Leads ing in the folds here and there. . Once more it is passible for wo- men to walk with ease and to sit down in a low chair gracefully. Once more it is possible for a wo- man instead of looking merely "smart." Already our eyes have become accustomed to the change of outline; already 'there is some- thing pitiful about the .appearance of tight .skirts which make it ne- cessary to take tiny steps, like a small Japanese girl. • Many of the new wide skirts are cut in circular form—that is to say, they are wide at the hem ,and tighit.over the Lips. Theseskirts are lined with some soft material—such as nun's veiling —and finished -with a deep taffeta flounce, accordeon pleated under- neath ,the hem, A skirt of this or der sways to to and fro in a delight- ful manner when its wearer walks, ,.I. Things You Should Know. Says They are Tile Very Best MR, . A. HILL TELLS WIIA'T D ODD'S KIDNEY PILLS DID FOR HIM. He Suffered for Four Months from Kidney Trouble but Found Quick Relief When He Used Dodd's Kidney Pills. Sixty -Nine Corners, Ont,, May 17th (Special). — "I know that Dodd'as Kidney 'Pills are the very beast of medioimes,"' Such is the statement made by Mr. J. A. Hill,, a well-known 'resident of tthis place., "I was sick for six months,' Mr. Hill continues. "My troubles started froan aa, Dodd that seemed to settle in my b aok, ..My joints were stiff and I had cramps in my mus- cle's, my appetite was fitful and I was heavy and sleepy after meals. I hacl a bitter taste im any mouth and I was always tired and ner- vouas. "I used four boles of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and the great benefit they diel me is what makes me say, `They are the best of medoineas.' " Docld'as Kidney Pills cure sick ICielneys, and Mr. Hill's symptoms are the symptoms of Kidney dis- ease, consequently he found quick relief in Dodd's Kidney Pills. They always cure Kidney .disease.

"Experiments satisfied me, some 5 years ago," writes a Western wo- man, "that coffee was the direct cause of the insomnia from which I suffered terribly, ass well as ex- treme nervousness and acute dys- pepsia." (Tea is just as injurious as coffee, because it, too, contains the health -destroying drug, . daf- feine). "I had been a coffee drinker since childhood, and did not like to think that the beverage was doing me all this harm. But it was, and the time came when I had to face the fact, and protect myself. I 'therefor'e gave up coffee abruptly and absolutely, and adopted Pos- tum for my hot drink at meals. "I began to note improvement in my condition very soon after I took on ;Postitm. The diamge proceeded 'gradually, but surely, aiid it wae.aa matter of only a few weeks before I found Myself entirely relieved — the nervousness passed away, ray digestive apparatus was restored to normal • efficiency, and I began to sleep restfully and peacefully.

Can Now Be Seen on Clear Days Whir 'Binoculars, Eleven years have elapsed since the last pron'ounoed appearance of sun spots, this is now the period for their recurrence, and ph•oto- graphc of the sum indicate that the spots • have appeared. Any one with rsmoked glasses or even a pair of binoculars can see the great dark spots on the sun any clear day. The modern theory advanced by scientists .is that these spots affect the earth's weather, cause thunder and lightning storms, greatly re- duce the temperature and, cause. increaised precipitation. From, photographs first taken on April 3, it is .apparent, according to scientists, that the regular recur- rence of sun spots appeared at about that time and !since then they have been increasing. Sca• much cloudy weatlher followed that per- fect pictures could not be taken un- til May 2, and these plates show. that the sun spots have increased in area and have acted just as Astro -.a nomers said they would. That is, the large spots become larger, then split up into sections with one. large spot leading a lot of smaller ones aacroass the face of the sun, as a mother hen beads her chicks. Previous observations than a lower temperature, rain and cycle nic disturbanees result from the appearance of the sun spots every 11.1 years has been borne" out by the weather reticently. The sun revolves on its axis every twenty-five days and the sun' spots ar•e there 'hidden to the earth. By the time the surface of the sun again appears exposed 'to the eiarth. it is considered probable that the spots will have been .dissipated on the flaming surface of the greatt. orb.

RONEY IN LIVE STOCK. The Canadian Farmer Will Benefit By the War. Mr. : Randolph Brune, a well- known rancher in Westeim Canada, has just returned from Fiirope with many interesting opinions as to- the effect that the war will have on, the. Canadian' farmer. The immense slaughter of cattle for the armies in the field will,he thinks, very shortly cause a great increase ' in the price of beef, and those 'farm- ers who are raising oattle'will make more money even than those who are raising wheat at a .dollar -fifty per bushel. Every'effoart should be made to raise cattle for the market in as large quantities and as quick- ly as possible. 'Mr. Bruce is a great believer in alfalfa as the most satis- factory food for the rapid iraising. of oattle for beef. In this connection it is interest- ing to note that fattening young stock is becoming very popular in the United Staters where 'the.raar- ket for beef is increasing so rapid- ly that more study has been paid to methods of increasing .pr'ocluc- tion. In the early days cattle were kept on the ranges from three to five years. Experience, however, has shown that the use of thor- ough -bred bulls and the consequent improvement in the quality and maturing ability of market earttle, together with heavier grain feed- ing, has made it possibly to put just as much beef on the market at from -13 to 20 months o]d. 'Ex- perts are of the opinion that with. the continued improvement of. breed stock it will be posstiible to market at an even earner date. Among #ills ,advantages of earlier finishing of cattle, the following are mentioned by some of the leading Cattle mien : Firstly, younger cattle make . heavier: 'gains of beef on ` a similar amount of feed than old cattle Secondly, the mopey invest- ed is turned faster, being turned over in eighteen months, where formerly it took from three to five yearas ; Thirdly, heifers under two years old sell as readily as steers and finish more rapidly, As the oeansns statistics prove without lsahadow of doubt, the value of beef cattle in Canada is steadily increasing In 1901 there were 3,167,744, valued at $54,197,341, or an average of $1742, taking the good with atlie bad. In 1911 there were 3,930,257,, valued at $86,278,- 490, oi, an ,average of '$21,90, an increase of $4.78 per head. Mr. III. S. Arkell, Assistant °Live Stook, Commissioner fur the Dominic l GovernMent, says that never in our statistical history have prices at,. tarred so high a• figure, either for cattle `on the hoof or for meat in the butcher shop, as to -day.

Of late the Thames has been a deal too full of water for the com- fort or convenience of the inhabit- ants of the Thames Valley. Yet there are on record several in- stances where the contrary was the case, and the, people of London saw the river bed practically dry. In Scow's Annals is en account of an earthquake, which shook down many churches and houses while the River Thames "was clued uppe, that all London might walke over the same dry shod." This was 'n. the year 1158. In 1591 came an amazing ebb tide, when the river was again so low that a man might ride over it on horseback at. London Bridge. In 1687 a tremendous gale blew fol' thirty-six hours. The great storm blew straight down the valley of the Thames, and kept the water back, so that the bed was dry. .On Sep- tember 14, 1716, the same thing hap- pened, and, according to the "Weekly. Packet," a. paper of that date, people 'crossed the river afoot both below and above the abridge, while the !sands lay so clear to view that a. silver tankard, a silver but- ted .sword, a gold ring, a guinea, and other long -lost articles of value were picked up, .. When ' a Woman Suffers With Chronic Backache i'1 There is Trouble Ahead. Constantly on their feet, ,attending to the wants of a large and exacting family, women often break down with nervous exhaustion. In the 'stores, factories, and on a farm are weak, ailing women, dragged down with torturing backache and bearing down pains. Such suffering isn't natural, but it's dangerous, because due to diseased kidneys. The dizziness,' insomnia, deranged menses and other symptoms of kidney complaint can't cure themselves, they require the assistance of Dr. Hamil- ton's Pills which go direct to the seat of the trouble. To give .vitality and power to the kidneys, to lend aid to the bladder and liver to free the blood of poinsons. probably there is no remedy so suc- cessful as Dr. Hamilton's Pills. For all womanly irregularities their merit is well known. Because of their mild, soothing, and healing effect, Dr. Hamilton's Pills are safe, and are recommended for girls and women of all ages.. 25 cents per box at all dealers.

The activity of the wiper under cover of darkness has been respon- issble for much inventive ingenuity with a view to facilitating riflie-fir- ing at night. Two ingenious de- vices have been perfected, one by{ a Glasgow staff -sergeant and the other by on Australian explorer. At night •dere is difficulty M direct- ing the muzzle of the rifle upon the enemy, owing to the invisibility of the ordinary foresight, To meet this, the Scottish musketry in- structor has n-structor_has fitted the ordinary ser- vioe rifle with a luminous sight. No alteration in the service cm. is ne- cessary, and the night sight does not interfere with the ordinary front -sight for daylight ishooting, The new sight has been subjected to exacting tests, and has proved efficient; only four misses being re- corded out of fifty-four rounds in e trial under difficult condition's and it has been applied to machine- guns with equal success. The Aus- tralian invention consists of a quick. sight electric flashlight, which is fitted close to the muzzle by a sim- ple cortrivance, the current being supplied from a !small battery car- ried in the butt, to which the sight is connected. The light throws a T-shaped nark which provides an. almost automatic aim, because the bullet strikes at the intersection of .the two lines. The eight can be fitted to any fire,arnl, and the flash- light can also be used for signal- ling. .14 Method in His Iteforns, "He is one of those near-vege- tarianis."

They should be abol- ished.
