RATTLE OF THE RIVETER. The Man from Oklahoma Thought It ^ Was a Woodpecker. Charley's uncle from Oklahoma was up town being shown the sights, he having come in the day before with a few loads of steers, and Charley was doing the honors. They were walking along on Grand avenue discussing the tall buildings, when all of a sudden one of those rackety riveting machines began ham mering away at high speed on a top story of a steel skyscraper building. The old man stopped as if he’d run against something. He turned his eyes in the direction of the sound but could make out nothing. When he turned to his bewildered nephew his eyes were fairly popping. “Great Scott!" he exclaimed. “But I’d like to see that woodpecker. It must be a whopper.”—Kansas City Star. Reception Was Costly. Mrs. Augustus Heaton, of Washing ton. some time ago changed from the Episcopalean to the Roman Catholic church and by way of celebrataing the event decided to give a reception in honor of the bishop of her diocese. She decided, however, that her already famous drawing-room was not suffi ciently resplendent to serve as a place of reception for the bishop who was to come and congratulate her. There was yet time in which to make the room more attractive and Mme. Hea ton. with true artistic taste, had everything taken out of the room ex cept the old furniture and a few art objects. The walls before had been covered with tapestry, but that was not enough for a reception for the bishop. After much thought she l finally decided on drab silk wall cov ering. What with this and other ex tensive changes in the room without the purchase of furniture Mrs. Hea ton got rid of $9,000. Diet of Americans. Die Woche, in a two-page article, tells its readers “what Americans eat," taking as a type the average New York business man. Hot cakes, quick lunch dishes, pie, Welsh rabbit, ice cream, grapefruit, oyster cocktails, pork and beans and many other pure ly American dishes, and ice water, are referred to as indigestion promoters. “All this," says the writer, “the Amer ican eats with relish. They are the dishes of the city and of the country. He balks at only four things: Frank furter sausages, sauerkraut, butter milk and limburger cheese—these he calls ‘Dutch foods.’ ” SECK HEADACHE I Positively cured by these Little Pills.

November is the month of falling temperatures. Over all the temperate regions the hot weather has passed and the first rigors of winter have ap peared. As the great bulk of civilized nations is located in the Temperate Zones, the effect of changing sea sons is a ques tion of the high est importance When the weath er begins to change from warm to cold, when cool nights succeed hot nights, when clear, cold days follow hot, sultry days, the human body must adjust itself to this changed condition or perish. The perspiration incident to warm weather has been checked. This de tains within the system poisonous materials which have heretofore found escape through the perspiration. Most of the poisonous materials re tained in the system by the checked perspiration find their way out of the body, if at all, through the kidneys. This throws upon the kidneys extra labor. They become charged and over loaded with the poisonous excretory materials. This has a tendency to in flame the kidneys, producing function al diseases of the kidneys and some times Bright’s Disease. Peruna acts upon the skin by stimu lating the emunctory glands and ducts, thus preventing the detention of pois onous materials which should pass out. Peruna Invigorates the kidneys and encourages them to fulfill their function in spite of the chills and dis couragements of cold weather.

Many of these remedies have been used by doctors and by the people in Europe and America for a hundred years.

Its efficacy has been proven by decades o! use by thousands of people, and has; been substantiated over and over by many thousands of homes. W. L.

I had suffered this way nine years and five doctors had failed to relieve me. On your advice I aook Wine of Cardui, which at once relieved my pains and now I am entirely cured. I am sure that Cardui saved my life.” It is a safe and reliable remedy for all female diseases, such as peri odical pains, irregulari ty, dragging down sen sations, headache, diz ziness, backache, etc. At Every Drug Store in $1.00 bottles.

For the enlightenment of the host ess who is wearied of the conventional forms of floral decorations for lunch eons, debutante suppers and other fes tive occasions, a novel suggestion comes from across the water. The dictum of the master florist is that table decorations must be in keeping with the occasion, the color scheme and arrangement of the flow ers, of course, to be the most artistic. An instance was a magnificent floral design for a christening luncheon. It was a large doll's cradle made wholly of flowers. The cot itself was com posed of white ten-week stocks. The coverlet was made of the same flower, bearing a spray of pink carnations in one corner. On a pillow of white blossoms a wax baby doll lay fast asleep. The curtains were made of white chiffon, on which were tacked sprays of white heather, and trails of smilax gave the finishing touch. The new form of “doll” decoration is expected to prove very fashionable this winter. One design for a wed ding breakfast is a wedding proces sion of the bride and her maids. The bride—a pretty wax doll—is to wear a gown of lilies of the valley, while her train will be composed of white rose petals. A coronet of real orange blossoms and a tulle veil with a min iature boquet of exotics fastened to her hand will complete the realistic picture. The bridesmaids’ dresses are to be carried out in Panama violets, with hats and miniature muffs of white vio lets trimmed with pink rosebuds. The muffs are to be hung round the dolls' necks with pink satin ribbon. A number of flora! dolls dancing the minuet is a design arranged for a de butante’s ball supper. The flower costumes will be dif ferent, one table being carried out in violets, another in snowdrops, while a third couple will wear a gown and suit of pink anemones. “Doll’ decorations for large chil dren's parties are suggested. The dolls can be robed in flower dresses. Little Red Riding Hood will wear a cloak of scarlet anemones; Cinderalla can be radiant in white lilies trimmed with frosted silver leaves. A tiny floral shoe will lie on the table behind her. A ferocious giant doll, in a doublet of violets, will pursue Jack the Giant Killer, and in the center of the table Father Christmas will preside, dressed in holly and mistletoe. For holiday celebrations it is pre dicted that the heretofore indispen sable Christmas tree will find a rival in the floral doll that each little guest will carry off as a souvenir. Cider Vinegar. Procure a barrel or cask of cider, put into it a piece of paper dipped in molasses and set in a warm place in a situation exposed to the influence of the sun until it becomes vinegar. Tea. coffee or sour beer left after meals may be added to the vinegar without injury to it, if not aided in too large quantities, if you are making only a small quantity of vinegar at a time, two quart glass fruit cans are better than stone jugs, as a larger surface is exposed to the light and air. A cloth should be tied over the top to keep out dust and vinegar flies. Set the jars in the sun until they work clear, then strain. When "mother” forms, new vinegar can be made by simply adding sweetened water. Soft water should always be used in the making of vinegars. Horr.e-Made Head Cheese. Split a small pig's head and wash in cold water. Place with two well cleaned feet over the fire, cover with cold water and add a tablespoonful of salt. As soon as it begins to boil add three onicns and one carrot sliced, a bay leaf and a tablespoonful whole peppers. Cover and cook until the meat separates from the bones. Re move the head and feet, chop fine, season with salt and pepper to taste. Strain the broth and leave over night. In the morning remove the fat, and if there is more than three pints of the liquor boil until it is reduced to that quantity. Add the meat, stir and cook five minutes, then pour into molds. Slice for luncheon. If the head cheese is to be kept for a long time put it into a stone jar and cover with vine gar. Rich with Cheese. Put a cup of rice over a quick fire with plenty of cold water. Let boil five minutes after boiling begins, then drain and rinse in cold water. Melt two or three tablespoonfuls of butter in a frying pan. Add half an onion and the rice. Let cook until the but ter is absorbed, then add one cup of tomato pulp (cooked tomatoes passed through a sieve to exclude the seeds), a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoon ful of paprika, and two or three cups of stock or water. Let cook un til the rice is tender and the liquid absorbed, then with a silver fork care fully lift up the rice, and add half a cup of grated cheese. Serve very hot. To Wash Corsets. To keep a pair of corsets perfectly fresh and clean they should be washed every two or three weeks. The op eration is simple and will not Injure the shape or the cut Make a warm suds and put in a few drops of ammonia. Spread the corsets on a flat table, taking out the laces only. Scrub with a stiff brush In hot suds. Rinse quickly in clear lukewarm water. Lay flat on a board or table in the sun or near the fire. ‘— -— China Cement. Into a thick solution of gum arabic stir plaster of paris until the mixture assumes the consistency of cream. Ap ply the mixture with a brash to the broken edges of the china and join together. In three days the article cannot be broken in the same place. The whiteness of the cement adds to its value. “THE MARRYING SQUIRE.” Justice Geo. E. Law, of Brazil, Ind., Has Married 1,400 Couples. Justice Geo. E. Law, of Brazil, Ind., has fairly earned the title of “The Mar rying Squire,” by which he is known far and wide, hav ing already married some 1,400 couples. Ten years ago he was deputy county treasurer. “At that time,” said Justice Law, ‘1 was suffer ing from an annoy ing kidney trouble. My back ached, my rest was broken at night, and the passages of the kidney secretions were too frequent and contained sediment. Three fcjxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me in 1897, and for the past nine years I have been free from kid ney complaint and backache.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

Favor the Rod in School.

Picquart Shows Generosity. Gen. Picquart, the defender of Dreyfus and now the French minister of war, has defined his attitude to ward his old prosecutors in the army. When an officer who was involved in the conspiracy that banished Picquart to the border of the Sahara, entered the minister’s office and began to stammer out a statement on the sub ject Picquart stopped him, saying: “I only know one thing and that is that you have always been an excellent of ficer. You may be sure that I shall not forget that.” Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear ing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using De fiance Starch, as it can be applied much more 'hinly because of its great er strength than- other makes. GAVE DRUMMER A SCARE. Delayed Telegram Suggested Awful Possibilities. “There was a traveling man,” said the night operator, "whose wife pre sented him wiih a son while he was out drumming up trade. The doctor got the man's address, and, since his wife was doing none too well, wrote out a message giving him the news and telling him to return. "The doctor gave the message to the cook, who couldn't read. She forgot to send it, and the next day the j drummer came home of his own ac cord. "He stayed a day or two. found his wife doing all right, and set out oft his rounds again. Nothing, as it hap pened, was said about the forgotten telegram. “And at the end of the week the telegram was sremembered by the cook. With an exclamation o’ horror —you know she couldn't real—sho hurried to the office and sent to the drummer that delayed message. When he got it that night he was terrified. What he read was this: “‘Another addition—a son; your wife very ill; return at once.’ "He took the midnight train for home. He was like a man in a trance. ‘Another?’ he kept muttering in a dazed voice. ‘Impossible!’ “On getting home he was so reliev ed whin everything was explained to him that he decided not to fire the cook, after all.” A DOCTOR’S TRIALS. He Sometimes Gets Sick Like Other People. Even doing good to people is hard work if you have too much of it to do. No one knows this better than the hard-working, conscientious family doctor. He has troubles of his own— often gets caught in the rain or snow, or loses so much sleep he sometimes gets cut of sorts. An overworked j Ohio doctor tells his experience: “About three years ago as the result j of doing two men's work, attending a large practice and looking after the details of another business, my health j broke down completely, and I was lit- I tie better than a physical wreck. “I suffered from indigestion and constipation, loss of weight and appe- 1 tite, bloating and pain after meals, ! loss of memory and lack of nerve | force for continued mental applica- ' tion. “I became Irritable, easily angered ! and despondent without cause. The heart’s action became irregular and weak, with frequent attacks of palpi tation during the first hour of two after retiring. “Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas came for my lunch one day and pleased me particularly with the re sult I got more satisfaction from it than from anything I had eaten, for months, and on further investigation and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my morning and evening meals, served usually with cream and a sprinkle of salt or sugar. “My improvement was rapid and permanent in weight as well as in physical and mental endurance. In a word, I am filled with the joy of liv ing again, and continue the daily use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often for the evening meal. “The little pamphlet, ‘The Road to Wellville,’ found in pkgs., is Invari ably saved and handed to some needy patient along with the indicated rem edy.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. “There’s • rea WORST CASE OF ECZEMA. Spread Rapidly Over Body—Limbs and Arms Had to Be Bandaged— Marvelous Cure by Cuticura. "My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when he was four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. We had ail the doctors around us, and some from larger places, but no one helped him a particle. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I had to bandage his limbs and arms; his scalp was just dreadful. A friend teased me to try Cuticura, and I be gan to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies. He was better in two months; and in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N. H.. Oct. 24. 1905." Vanderbilt Popular with Comrades. Cornelius Vanderbilt is slowly but surely earning his way to the front in the national guard of New York. In 1901 he was elected a second lieu tenant in the Twelfth regiment and is now senior first lieutenant in the or ganization. He has been detailed to the captaincy of one of the compan ies and will soon become a regular captain. The members of the regi ment show no jealousy over this pro motion, as they say it was earned by good work as a soldier. The Original Porous Plaster. It's Allcock's, first introduced to the people sixty years ago, and to-day un doubtedly has the largest sale of any external remedy—millions being sold annually all over the world. There have been imitations, to be sure, but never has there been one to even com pare with Allcock’s—the world's standard external remedy. For a weak back, cold on the chest or any local pain, the result of taking cold or over-strain, nothing we know of compares with this famous plaster. Artists Dislike Solitude. Mme. Bernhardt and Signora Duse have mutual horror of being aione while traveling. Caruso, the tenor, is of the same temperament, always avoiding solitude. He is always ac companied by some friend, who ar ranges traveling and other details for him, gives the singer advice and takes all similar responsibility from the artist's shoulders. How’s This?

TheWinning Stroke If moje than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning p'ayer, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a rea sonable amount of outdoor lire and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so dees a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is ail important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one cf known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without griping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing cf an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture cf Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times# to use when a laxative remedy is required.
