For sports and street wear, there
are the chic little jacket suits of
cotton jersey worn with dimitie or
all-over embroidery blouses. Suits
of cotton serge are good. Pique in
white and in colors is a favorite.
Other cotton materials are being
shown that are suitable for use in
any number of costumes.
For afternoon ‘’and evening, one
.sees cotton take its place among
the finest materials. Organdy, the
darling of the younger set, is one
of the favorites. Others seen at for
mal functions are pastel shaded'
cotton nets, dotted Swiss, cross bar
red muslins, and cotton laces
For wear with one's cotton cos
tumes, there are also cotton shoes,
of canvass, trimmed or untrlmmed

Try This One For
Tonsil Troubles
Atlanta, Ga — If j’ou have a sore
tonsil go to the doctor and let hint
put a "bee" on it.
The "bee" is an electrocoagulator
and is part of the exhibit of medi
cal appliances at the Southeastern
Surgical Congress meeting here.
The treatment is known as dia
thermy electrocoagulation or ton
sils, but it is not as bad as it
sounds, say those interested in call
ing it to attention of the medicos.
The doctor simply places two
cathodes, or “stingers,” about the
tonsil and opens the throttle. The
frequency is too fast for a sensation
of shock. The tonsil merely gets
warm.
A little shot and in a few days
part of the tonsil withers up and
you blow it away. Three or four
treatments and the tonsil is gone.
