Scoutin’ Around
By PETER ** * CARLTON
ONE of the best written articles concerning the way
the radical changes of the length of women’s dresses
will affect many families deeply was written by Jose
phine Ripley, Washington correspondent for the
Christian Science Monitor. Quoting in parts, we
read: ' /
“Such a drastic change in fashion seems poorly
timed for the common good. It comes at a time
when world production of the five major apparel and
household fibers —cotton, wool, silk, flax and ray
on—is one-quarter below the 1934-38 average.”
“It comes at a time when the women of Britain,

CARLTON
still tightly rationed on clothing, are forced to wear hand-me-downs
and shabby made-over dresses they would have discarded long ago
under normal circumstances ”
“It comes at a time when many na
tions are impoverished and many
without even the necessary clothing
for minimum warmth and comfort.”
“It comes at a time when the
people of this nation are barely
able to keep pace with the high
cost of living, and a complete
wardrobe for the family would
put a severe strain on incomes
already weakened by the inroads
of inflation.”
“Under these circumstances, the
reaction of American women to these
new dictates of fashion will be watch
ed with something more than just an
indulgent smile this year. The non

that many women were quick to see
this as no time for expensive furbe-

May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life with ita hurry and worry.
Irregular habits, improper eating ana
drinking—its risk of exposure and infec
tion —throws heavy strain on the work
of the kidneys. They are apt to become
over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling—feel constantly
tired, nervous, aU worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
Try Doa n’s PiU*. Doan’* help the
kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
century of public approval. Are recom
mended by grateful users everywhere.
