WOMEN CRUSADE FDR LONG MTS Reformers Urge Dress Conceal ing Ankles and Giving the Hips More Freedom. CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—Longer and wider skirts, with the waist cut so that the bosom is not exposed, is the rem edy for the wide criticism now show ered on the attire of girls and women. While the skirt should not be 'ong enough to strike the sidewalk, it should be long enough to conceal the ankles. This is the view of Chicago women who have given the subject study. Miss Mary F. Balcomb, president of the Young People's Civic league, fa vors the longer skirt and higher cut bodice. “The big cry of annoyance on the street and in public places from men. which girls are now making, is largely due to their foolish mode of dress and manner," she said. "Year by year and month by month the garb of woman has been growing shorter and tighter. Now a big woman looks awful in the pres ent style. Only the dumpling girl can wear the costume and her figure is so accentuated that comment and annoy ance follows. The skirt should be long enough to cover the ankles and at least one-third fuller about the hips. Many skirts are now above high shoe-tops and when the wearer sits down in pub lic the tight mode forces the skirt many inches higher. The panniers have not helped much, but they have accomplished a little good in conceal ing the figure." AKANS TO GO TO KNOXVILLE. KNOXVILLE.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1912 BARTLETT RAPS OPPONENT WISE Sixth District Congressman, at Thomaston, Answers Fay etteville Man’s Speech. THOM ASTON. GA.. Aug. 7. —-Charles I, Bartlett, of Macon, candidate toi; re election to congress from this, the Sixth district, who has served eighteen con secutive years, made a speech here in the court house before 400 vetters and created a strong impression. For nine consecutive years the voters of Upson have carried this county in his favor, this being the first county to ever sup port him. This time he is meeting with considerable opposition here. After being introduced by Allen Wil liams. of Yatesville. Mr. Bartlett spoke I for two hours. He quoted frequently from the Griffin speech of his opponent, J. W. Wise, of Fayetteville, and said . that Mr. Wise \yas a kind of a "semi- Solomon.” who knew about half of everything, except congress and the congressional record. He said Mr. ! Wise had stated that he was not a member of any important committee in ; congress. Judge Bartlett stated that he was a member of the appropriations committee, a committee so important that no member of congress could serve on any other committee if placed on it. Arguing that seniority was of great ■ advantage, he stated that he had been in service longer than any other mem- I ber, save one. Replying to Mr. Wise's statement that he had done nothing but send out "speeches and garden seed.” he went into some of the measures advocated by , himself spme of which he passed over a Republican house. While a member of I the committee on banks and banking, , he said, he offered the amendment, which passed, that national banks pay ; interest on government money on de- ■ posit, thereby earning thousands of dol t lars annually to the government, and > that It was his amendment that secured the first appropriation for the depart- mrnt of justice to investigate the trusts. He said the record showed that he I repeatedly fought the trusts, and that, largely through his amendment, the | rates on express. Fullman. telegraph i service were reduced under the invest!- 1 gation of the interstate commerce com- ; mission. Unaided almost, the amend- | ment offered by him to put cotton bag- I ging and ties and meat on the free list I was passed by the house and senate. ’ only to be turned down by President ; Taft. He reviewed other acts while in I congress. WOMAN EXTINGUISHED BY FIREMAN IS MISSING ANDERSON. IND.. Aug 7.

I Illi 1 • SUMMER SUGGESTIONS • • FOR THE MOTHER • • • • Seasonable Advice °n the • • Health of Children in Hot • ! • Weather. J Mothers should be careful not to overfeed children during the hot months. No one requires as much food in summer as they do in cold weather. Serve only the lighter and more easily digested foods, and see that the milk is kept cool and the fruit ripe. , It is quite natural to expect some i disturbance, such as constipation, indi gestion. or summer diarrhoea, often accompanied by a cold. A mild laxa tive at bed time will, in most cases, carry off the congested waste from the stomach next morning and by cleaning i the bowels restore normal conditions. Cathartic remedies and purgatives should never be used for children. They are harsh and violent in their action and tend to upset the entire sys tem. The combination of simple laxa tive herbs with pepsin, known as Dr. , Caldwell Syrup Pepsin, and sold by druggists for fifty cents a bottle, is now very generally used to correct stomach and bowel trouble. It is mild , and pleasant to the taste and contains no drastic drug, or narcotic, but acts ' naturally and easily, yet most effective ly. A larger bottle, containing more than twice the quantity, is sold for one dollar. If you have never used Syrup I Pepsin and would like a free trial bot , tie, postpaid, write to Dr. W. B.
