' A" • * - The reason is ready-made garments are made out of cloth which has been shrunk by a steam process, which shrinks the cloth so it will not shrink or stretch any more. Sponging cloth by hand, which tailors and made-to-order houses do, does not shrink, the cloth thoroughly, and therefore the garments will stretch and shrink and lose their shape. : : : : JOS. W.

Marion Harland ami Dime Curtsey. ' No name is better known to the house­ wives of America than that of Marion Harland. For more than half a century she has been devoted to the work that has made her name a household word in thousands of homes, and now at 75 she is as bright and active as most women of half her age. It has often ,been a matter of speculation to those who have followed her department, "School for Housewives," in the woman's section of the Chicago Sunday Record-Herald if Mrs. Harland really gives personal at­ tention to all the letters which must come to her. Huge as the task may seem, it may be said that every one of these letters requiring the opinion of an expert upon household topics goes di­ rectly to Mrs. Harland and is answered by her. Mrs. Harland's knowledge of housekeeping is practical and not theo­ retical. The cry of the hostess for something new has been met by The Sunday Rec­ ord-Herald, which has instituted a novel department. It is called "Novelties in Eutertainment," and is edited by Ellye Howell Glover, who has chosen the happy nom-de-plume of Dame Curtsey. Besides planning special entertainments for those who wish them, describing the decorations, giving the menu, suggest­ ing the games and advising as to the smallest details, Dame Curtsey gives many ideas of her own designed for special days. She also answers all questions pertaining to etiquette and good taste, and otherwise furnishes just the information so often sought vainly by women. A feature of-the Sunday issue popular with every member of the family is The -Record-Herald Sunday magazine. In the variety and interest of its text, with many beautiful illustrations, in form and in the quality of the paper and printing, it may fairly be said to rival the best of the famous illustrated weeklies. A Word to the Wise. Wanconda Leader: At nine o'clock Friday evening the fire bell was rung startling people who had retired early and a rush was made for the engine; but before the firemen had drawn the ma­ chinery out they were told no danger existed, as the lamp which had caused the fire and the burning chair into which It had fallen from the ceiling when the lamp hook pulled out of the ceiling, had been thrown out of Dr. Dawson's office into*the street by Ray Kimberly and Dr. Fuller, who rushed into the room and beat the firemen out of a job. The doctor had sat for an hour under the banging lamp reading, and had been out of the room but a few minutes when the hook pulled from the ceiling letting the lamp fall into the chair where it broke aud caused the fire. This raises two questions worthy of mention: Are your lamp hooks safely anchored, and can you afford to leave a light burning when out for any considerable time when draughts or unknown cause's may cause explosions? The most careful will meet accident, sustain loss and be given blame at times; but it seems to ns the leaving of lighted lamps in sleeping rooms cannot be defended by careful people. Think about it. Wireless Telegraphy From Kiffln: Elgin now has a connection with Chi­ cago by wireless telegraphy. The fact was not known until a few evenings ago, when two Elgin men who have the wireless machines were ticking messages back and forth. The following day a message from Chicago asked them whether they had been sending messages at 7 o'clock the night before, and when they replied • in the affirmative they found that the Chicago office had re­ ceived their message. Harold Pratt, an electrical student, has a machine in his home on Douglas avenue. Harry G. Thomas, the chalk talk artist and elec­ trician, is also fitting a machine up for use in classes at the Y. M. C. A. The two men were Bending messages back and forth, when the Chicago office on Michigan avenue caught their message. Union Pacific to Buy Northwestern. One of the latest rumors in financial circles concerns itself with the relations between the Union Pacific and the Chi­ cago & Northwestern railway. The traffice alliance between these two roads has long been a close one, but it is now said that plans have been perfected by which the Union Pacific will secure ab­ solute control of the Northwestern thru a guarantee upon the 'stocks of the latter company. Nothing confirmatory of the story has been officially obtained, but in some important quarters such devel­ opment as is herein suggested is regard­ ed as well within the bounds of possi­ bility within a comparatively short time. Thousands Have Kidney : Trouble and Neyer Snspfrct It Prevalency of Kidney IM sense. Most people do not realize the alarm­ ing increase and remarkable prevalency of kidney disease. While kidney dis­ orders are the most Common diseases that pre- vail, they are almost the last recognized by patient and phy­ sicians, who con­ tent themselves with doctoring the effects, while the orig­ inal disease undermines the system. What To Do.

It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing i£ or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne­ cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis­ tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

Daly, of 1240 W. Congress St., Chicago, tells of a way to become strong. He says: "My mother, who is old and was very feeble, is deriving so much benefit from Electric Bitters, that I feel it's my duty to tell those who need a tonic and strengthening medicine about it. In iny mother's case a marked gain in flesh has resulted, insomnia has been overcome, and she is steadily grow­ ing stronger." Electric Bitters quickly remedy stomach, liver and kidney com­ plaints.
