PAGE ELEVEN - uty and Charm are Frocks in Summer Fabrics : J By Maude Hall Though their design marks them apart from the usual tommonplace in dress, the frocks shown in this at- tractive assemblage are easy to dup- licate.. The woman who has divorced the home seamstress from her econ- omic calculations in order pot to sacrifice her budget for dress on the altar of the high cost of living will not hesitate to try any dress in the group. There are six lovely ideas for the development of summer fab- rics, which have made their appear- ance in smart shops, crowding back the lovely offerings for spring pr Hi my Ail are developed in the new figured | chiffons I'sually seif-material in| plain color of some soft silk is used | to trim these frocks. For afternoon use there comes a dainty model in gray with blue and gre ures. | The skirt is gathered gt each side.of | a. panel front which/is centred be-| tween groups of tripe plaits. There | is a wide belt of gatin chin and the' revers and collat correspond wita | the belt. A vest/ of dainty gauze gives a charming \finish to the front of the waist and \his is bridged by an Empire band oX satin chine fin- ished along either edge with accor: dion ruffles of gauze Chiffon cloth is very effective in The most delectable of the new materials are batiste, volle, Georg- ette crepe, crepe de chine, handker- ehief linen and almost every kind of silk except taffeta, which seems to be falling a little behind crepe de chine in the race for elite favor. Chiffon cloth is at the height of its popular- ity, being used for pastime and day frocks. Then come fine qualities of chiffon which laundry equally as well as crepe Georgette and cost a little less. One should be warned, how- ever, against investing in cheap grades of either of these materials. If good they are almost as durable as cotton; if poor and slazy, they do not stand the strain of ordinary wear, to say nothing of laundering. . ( Some very good looking dresses cae = = plain colors, and the smart designers are trimming it with braid for sum- mer use. Nothing more delightful is found in the spring models than a one-piece frock of pale gray caiffon cloth trimmed with bands of narrow braid which outline the deep V of the front and reappear at the sides of the bodice, extending below the belt on the gathered skirt. Two very deep tucks trim the skirt above a ten-inch hem. Of course, it takes a tall figure to wear the ultra-deep hems successfully, but this matter easily can be left to the judgment of tiie home dressmaker. The manufacturers have done themselves proud and women an honor in the production of silks this season. Though taffeta is not to be MIRACLES OF SURGERY NEARLY 96 PER CENT OF WOUNDED SOLDIERS RECOVER Antiseptic Height Re- Dr. Carrel's Wonderful Methods--Sergeant's duced By 21% Inches, Wonderful indeed are the strides which have been mmd® in the science of medicine within the past lew years. In surgery particularly has the greatest advance taken place, and in war surgery counts for perhaps more than medicine, In the present war the health of Tommy Atkins is generally good. En- toric, which was so prevalent in the South African war, has almost entire- ly disa red, This is doubtless due to the inoculation which every soldier has to undergo, and this leade us to remark--though we are not experts--that as inoculation is a preventive in smallpox and typhoid, it will possibly be found a similar safe guard in other diseases--that is when the germs are discovered and Hunted down. That, however, is an aside. Lord Northcliffe, on his re- ' turn from a re¢eut visit to the front confirmed what has often been re- marked as to the derful improve- ment in the sanitation of the armies. .In the past, disease has been as de- structive as battles, Now the aver- age illmess, including colds and in- fluenza, notwithstanaing the hard- ship and exposure of the trenches, is less than in London, dn the present war, according to , 95.97 per cent] of the wounded recover. That is to say, that of those not so terribly lacerated that they die at once or' within 24 hours, only three or four in one hundred die. ! 'Wonderful, toe, in fact, little short . of miraculous, is what is being ac- complished in saving damaged limbs. Where at one time amputation seem- ed the only alternative methods of treatment are now resorted to which preserve to the maimed soldier the limb which formerly would have been relentlessly lopped off. This is large- ly due to the skill of Dr. Alexis Car- rel, a French surgeon, who at the outbreak of the war was in charge of the Rockefeller institute in New York, and who crossed the Atlantic early in August, 1914, to place his professional services at the disposal of the French ministry of war. Since then he has been in charge of a hes- pital at Compiegne, where he pur- sueg a method which has preserved life and limb for many a poor fellow. A visitor to the scene of Dr. Car- rel's operations repeats his account of his methods, ; "Every wound from bullet or bay- onet, and from ghell fragment in par- ticular, receives automatically in the very nature of the injuring sub- stance, the source of infection, and infection ig the cause of more physi- cal disasters and deaths than wounds themselves. We remove infection if it exists when the patient reaches us, provided, of course, he is not too far gone to save life. Then we banish new infection.

Perhaps the greatest variety is offered in the new Chinese silks. sah are offered for the development of pastime frocks and suits, some of them with plain surfaces and others with the ornate designs that fling themselves over the surface of a large number of smart fabrics. One of the first suits for the coun- try is carried out in plaid silk com- bined with heavy Georgette crepe. An unusual note js struck in the ar- rangement of the skirt and waist, the front of the latter being of plaid silk to correspond with the front panel and lower sides of tae skirt. The re- emer b slightly bulbous ends, perforated lik * a garden hose sprinkler. So much for the apparatus, which you see'is simple and inexpensive, "The treatment is an open book at the disposal of whosoever will adopt it, as I am glad to say many hospi- tals in France have done.

The neck is finished with a collar of batiste in palest green. Apparently Dame Fashion is tiring of the neutral zone and its most ar- dent admirers will admit that it has been "done to death." Red, copper, violet, yellow, purple, turquoise are featured among the very fashionable tones and sometimes they crash against each otaer in a way that makes one shudder at the possibility of all women being dressed in them by the arrival of summer. Turquoise is a strong rival of gray in the development of one-piece frocks of batiste, chiffon and other sheer materials. It is used for a remove every iota of foreign matter or substance that ould become the source of infection in a wound. To accomplish this, we deliberately en- large the wound itself at the first operation, cutting below its depth and beyond its width and length to assure a healthy, unijured condition of tissues to begin with. When the operation has been performed and the wound is surgically clean, we place the patient upen his bed and rig up this apparatus over him. --¥uto the wound, generally now of vase form, we insert the tube and sprays, the latter in greater or less quantity as the wound demands. And then we begin a system of periodic spray- ing by pressing the atomizer bulb at regular intervals. Pus cannot form, and hetween sprayings, nature, ever eager to repair an injury, works un- der unhampered conditions, accom: plishing a given distance toward healing in a given gine, "Since we have measured the depth, width and length of the wound at the operation, a drawing is made of it from which are made a number of others, each showing the gradual decrease that will ensue in the size of the wound within ' twenty-four bours. This is surely calculated form, and since this cannot happen, it becomes a calculated certainty, based upon the wound itself and the age and physical condition of the patient. ¢ : ~ "We make, nevertheless, a daily mier examination of the solu- tion that has run in and out of the bly 80.

The skirt is trimmed with two deep tucks and gathered to a simple '-necked bodice under a belt of self material trimmed with em- broidery. A noticeable increase in the width of belts has met wita instantaenous approval. In fact everything that ac- commodates itself to the new broidery and bead trimmings is sure of success. Frequently when a frock has no other trimmihg a bit of seilf- front of. the belt. Sports silk is used for a very good looking dress in two shades of green. The skirt is of wool guernsey, while silk, repeating the tones of the skirt, will be able to arise with nothing but a sear. "We have never had a case where amputation became necessary after we have started upon the method 1 describe. We have néveér had a case of ankylosis, Our patients at re- covery have virtually perfect uss of their members, since immovable union of tissue or structure cannot occur in the process of healing. Of course, some cases take months. Other patients, in which less gravity of injury existed, are about in a much shorter time. "We have avoided amputation in 60 per cent, of cases in which it would otherwise have been necessary. We have turned out many hundreds of men to go through Nfe upon their own pins.

Stomach Was - Bganville, Ont., Mar. 30.--In this letter is well described the important place taken by Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills in many thousands of homes where their value as a regu- lator of the vital organs is known and appreciated. Constipation of the bowels is usu- ally aecompanied by sluggish liver action, and sooner or later by det ran ts of the kidneys. The dy ive system is entirely upset, and pains and aches result from the consequent poisoning of the system. On this account it may be said that cdnstipation is the cause of the great | majority of hi ills, and by. keep- ing the bowels. r by the ure of Dr, Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills these 'many aliments are avoided . : Mr. D.
