BIG SURPRISETOMANY
IN CORDOVA

bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad

ENTIRE bowel tract so completely it
relieves ANY CASE sour stomach, gas
or constipation and prevents appen
dicitis. The INSTANT, pleasant ac
tion of Adler-i-ka surprises both doc
tors and patients. It removes foul
matter which poisoned your stomach
for months. Northern Drug Com
pany.
FEW SUIl'CHANGES
Styles Only Slightly Affect Con
servative Type.
Last Winter's Outfit Will Not Be
Passe—Fur Trimming Is Not
So General.
There are many women who wear
one coat suit for at least two seasons
and always look well in It. These are
usually the women who select a con
servative style to begin with and then
freshen It up the second season with
small fashionable touches. Sny what
you will about the changeableness of
fashion, observes a fashion writer, you
will have to grant that within the last
few years there have been very few
changes in suit styles that would af
fect the more conservative type of
suit. That is, we have worn the same
sort of suit sleeves and the straight
belted or semi-fitted jacket that per
sisted. To be sure, there have been
changes in skirt length and girth, but
you have never looked out of style
if you persisted in a conservative me
dium in these matters.
Now radical changes are said to be
working in the realm of fashions as an
inevitable aftermath of the war’s end.
Distended hips are sure to come in.
They are always worn almost to the
exclusion of any other sort of thing for
evening gowns by fashionable wom
en, but It has really been determined
by the makers of women’s clothes
that these distended hips shall not
have a showing in women’s suits. It
would take more goods than the wom
en could afford to pay for. Conse
quently the straight silhouette will per
sist for day street wear at least dur
ing the winter.
So your last winter’s suit will not
look so out of the picture after all. In
the matter of fur trimming, although
some coats are trimmed lavishly with
it, it is by no means so general, and
some women who have planned the re
modeling of suits they have worn last
winter or before have planned to
have the old fur removed. On some
of the new suits with fur trimming
it is found only on the collar and along
the edge of large hip pockets. It
would be possible then to have the fur
from the other part of the coat re
moved and enough that is good made
over to use in this way. Then some
of the suits show the use of warm an
gora cloth or other fabrics made to
take the place of fur, but by no means
imitations. If the old fur is shabby
why not get the tailor to make use of
one of these angora fabrics? It would
be especially attractive on a suit that
;s cut along the sports lines.
