“From your druggist get two ounces or Glycerine and half an ounce of Globe I ine Compound (Concentrated Pine). Take these two ingredients home and put them into a half pint of good whis key. Take one to two teaspdonfuls after each meal and at bedtime. Smaller doses to children according to age.” This is the best formula known to science. There are many cheaper preparations of large quantity, but it don't pay to experiment wi.h a bed cold. Be sure to get only the genuine Globe Pine Compound (Concentrated Pine). Each half ounce Dottle comes in a sealed tin screw-top . case. If your druggist does not have It in stock he will get It quickly from his wholesale house. This has been published here every winter for six years and thousands of families know Its value. Published by the Globe Phar maceutical laboratories of Chicago. WHAT WORRIED HER. “I asked your father and he said you were old enough to know your Jwn mind.” “He didn’t tell you how old I was, did he?” ECZEMA CAME ON SCALP Lebanon, O.—"My eczema started on my thigh with a small pimple. It also came on my scalp. It began to itch and I began to scratch. For eighteen or twenty years I could not tell what I passed through with that awful itching. I would scratch until the blood would soak through my un derwear, and I couldn't talk to my friends on the street but I would be digging and punching that spot, until I was very much ashamed. The itch ing was so intense I could not sleep after once in bed and warm. I certain ly suffered torment with that eczema for many years. “I chased after everything I ever heard of. but all to no avail. I saw the advertisement for Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a sample. Imagine my delight when I applied the first dose to that awful itching fire on my leg and scalp, in less than a minute the itching on both places ceased. I got some more Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After the second day I never had another itching spell, and Cuticura Soap and Ointment cot pletely cured me. I was troubled with awful dandruff all over my scalp. The Cuticura Soap has cured that trouble.” (Signed) L. R. Fink, Jan. 22, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold thrdfcghout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address poet-card “Cuticura, Dept. L, Boston.” Adv. Man’s Preference. Miss Lillian Hill, lecturing on eu gencies in Cleveland, said: “It ip a good thing for the human race that beauty counts for more than intellect when it comes to love. In tellect too often means nerves—in somnia—hypochondria. “Yes, it is a good thing for the hu man race that, as an old maid from Vassar put it rather bitterly: " ’Men prefer a well formed girl to a well informed one.’ ” ^ Its Popularity. “What public board is most in fa vor with a municipality?" “I rather think it is the festive board.” Its Pace. “So time runs its race?” “Yes, in the laps of years.” Some of the charity that begins at home isn't worth making a fuss about.

Flounces have come back into fashion, as is evidenced by the dainty dancing gowns for wear at Palm Reach, and by quite as dainty day cos tumes of embroidery and sheer materials. Flounces—the modern flounces, at. least—are not gathered at the upper edge in the least, but are applied flatly to the narrow skirt so that the narrow silhouette is not spoiled. -Many of the most charming frocks for the southland show very sheer machine embroidered flouncings used in this w-ay and the illustration herewith pictures gold embroidered chiffon used in the same fashion, one flounce falling above the other in three tiers. LATEST IN LUNCHEON SETS i Dan Be Made With Prettiest of Effects Without Too Great Strain on the Purchaser's Pujse. At midseason one always goes over ! the house to find what needs renewing tn linens, and bureau scarfs are us ually among the things which must be . replaced. For either chiffonier, serv : mg table or sideboard filet lace is pop [ alar, but to those who do not care for it point de Venice is shown. Of course, 1 these real lace scarfs bring immense , prices, ranging from about $150 up to 51,000. For those who are content with excessive simplicity plain hem stitched linen is to be had and these are priced up from $1 according to size. Luncheon sets are to be had reasonably and are indispensable when one wishes to keep house easily and well. The sets embroidered in col ored silk are out of fashion and the all-linen embroidered in linen thread ur lace and embroidery sets are in fashion. These average 25 pieces to the set and range in price from less than $10 to $500 and $1,000. For daily ase Maderia embroidered sets, though they have been popular for years, are still in vogue and are always satisfac torv in appearance and wearing qual ity. “YVONNE.” Charming theater blouse, in black chiffon over biscuit chiffon, with fine gold lace and deep swathing of Chart reuse ribbon. Accordion Plaited Waists. Nowadays the waist has entered upon a new phase, and the accordion plaited example is coirying all before it. Every girl must have her little waist I accordion plaited, while most of these j are belted in at the waist with a tiny ; accordion-basque depending from it. Ninon and crepe de chine are the fa vorite materials, and the brocade belt : of some vivid tint which encircles the j waist has usually one short end de- ! pending from it finished with thick fringe. Warm Foot Muff. A foot muff of leather, fur lined. j fitted with an electric or hot water j foot warmer and made so that it can l be drawn up snugly around the ankles. ; where it is finished with a wide band of long haired fur. is something every woman who motors much in winter should possess. FRENCH JEWELRY IN VOGUE Artificial Trinkets Are New Worn by the Best Dressed of the So ciety Women. With the makers of this attractive jewelry growing more clever each year and copying more closely the genuine, it has long since ceased to be a social error for the well-dressed woman to use it. The designs are ar tistic, the pieces useful and the as sortment offered so wonderfully large, a woman has at her disposal innumer able little trinkets for her adorn ing. It is particularly suited for gift giving, particularly from one woman to another. Now (hat earrings are so very much the vogue one may have the right kind for each gown, when the most elaborate pair seldom cost a sum over two figures and much more frequently one below it. The pearl and rhinestone effects are es pecially good, and there are gleaming pendants, little bowknots and other ornaments with which to deck our ears and fill our trinket boxes. Then there are corsage pins to hold one's flowers in place, delicate trifles that are almost as pretty as the blos soms they hold. Slipper buckles, too. are in this French jewelry—enamelled and jeweled and rhinestone affairs that look their best when’ decorating a satin, kid or suede slipper. What with ruffles and frills and Robespierre collars and other neck fixings, she is an unusual woman who does not need for several bar pins. If the stones are glass and the pearls baroque, the gems rhinestone and the metal but near-gold, one may procure the prettiest of them for quite a moderate sum. Fads of Fashion. Skirts are unquestionably and indis putably wider. Coats are closed at the throat in imitation of the military style. Separate white waists in quaint de signs are worn with many costumes. Skirted coats are fashionable and almost always becoming to the slender figure. Shoulders of the blouse coat are quite unique, with the material gath ered into the shoulder seam under a band or strap. Many of the gowns are caught up tc show the ankle and with them stock ings of extreme transparency and of a corresponding shade are worn. One unusual street model from a well-known dressmaking establish ment is made of American Beauty rose velvet, with overskirt of satin and lace and chiffon introduced upon the waist. To Shrink Woolens. The question is frequently asked how to shrink woolen goods, and for the benefit of those who have a task of this nature here is a simple meth od: Wet a sheet and spread It out on a table. Then place one thickness of the goods lengthwise of the sheet. Begin at one end and roll sheet and goods together. Lay the roll of goods away on a platter or waiter until morning. After unrolling the goods press on the wrong side with a hot iron. If there should be any doubt about the right side of the goods be fore shrinking it would be better after determining the right side to mark it by sewing a bit of cloth near a corner so there will be no Iroeble in ascertaining the right side after shrinking. French Plumes. French plumes in solid and two toned effects are In evidence. Many small hats depend on some ostrich novelty, placed at some odd angle for decoration. LIGHT ONJIS PAST Girl’s Fiance Makes a Confession That Surprises More Than One Friend. By FRANK FILSON. "Fanny, you’ve been lording it over me for for the past month, ever since your engagement to Edward Brooks. But you can’t do it any more," said her friend Mildred Thomas, holding out her left hand with a blush. Fanny Upton seized it and dragged her friend into the light. On Mildred’s third finger sparkled a diamond in a platinum ring. “Mildred!" excliamed Fanny, kissing her. “Who is it?” "I mustn't tell you." answerd Mil dred. “Now don’t be angry, dear, be cause you shall be the very first per son to know. It's a sacred promise— for certain reasons.” “Oh, I'm sure 1 don't want to know, Mildred," said Fanny coldly, releasing the hand she held. “Oh yes you do, Fanny. Now don’t be cross. Listen! We’re going to have an engagement party on Satur day night, and it will be announced then. And you are to come and be told first. See?” Fanny was mollified a litttle. "Well, if you think it’s worth making a secret of to please your fiance, all right," she said. “But you know very well he has secrets he hasn't shared with you.” “Fanny!" cried Mildred Thomas in dignantly. “Of course he has, goose. Don't you suppose he has been in love dozens of times—rapturously in love, and never told you a word of it?’’ “Fanny," said her friend indignant ly, ‘ he told me that he has never been in love in his life before. He has never kissed any girl but me." “Booh!” said Fanny mockingly. “Now Edward knew I was too sensible to fall for that sort of yarn and he confessed. But he didn't tell me all. No. sir, and I'm going to find out a whole lot more before I marry him." Mildred remained coldly silent. “Oh. Mildred, here’s a joke." said her versatile friend. "Now are you • "Mr. George Howard. Miss Upton.” game for it? I.et's each write a letter to our fiances, saying. ‘I have found ! out everything and shall expect you | to explain—if you can.’ What a joke that would be. Picture the poor | men's faces! Will you, Mildred?” "It seems a shame,” murmured Mil dred. "But I couldn't bear to think he j had deceived me. Are you sure he | has. Fanny?” * 1 “My dearest girl, of course he has. ' How old is he? Twenty-eight! And j never kissed anyone but you? Mildred, j you certainly are simple. And now's I the time to show him you aren't as I simple as he thinks, and he'll think I all the more of you for it. Is it a bar | gain?” / It was. It was not without many : misgivings that Mildred Thomas : mailed her letter to George Howard, I but Fanny's hints were eating into j her soul like vitriol. She must know, I now, whether her lover ever had been In love before. That would be dread ful. Still she might forgive it, but she could never forgive deceit. When the letter was mailed she wanted it back, and all that day and the next •ihe listened in terror for the post man's whistle. On the third day, Friday, the answer came—a hasty, in coherent letter, full of self-accusa tions and reproaches. “I shall tell you about what you refer to when I call tomorrow evening,” he wrote, and I shall come half an hour before the party, in the hope of gaining your forgiveness before the guests arrive.” Mildred .was looking her prettiest when George Howard arrived. He looked so haggard and mournful that she could hardly find words with which to greet him. Bitterly now she repented having been persuaded by Fanny to play that foolish joke. But she must play her part through. They sat down very soberly side by side in the empty reception room. “I'm going to tell you everything, Mildred," said George humbly. “I did not wilfully deceive you, for it was only because I had put the memory of that mad summer, two years ago. out of my mind and heart, and dared not recall it, even to myself. She was the only woman before you.” “Go on," murmured Mildred, and to ner consternation she discovered that she was not shocked at ail—only deeply interested. “It was at Atlantic City. I won’t fell you her name. We were almost the only guests at the hotel at the end of the season. We fell in love with each other; we loved each other mad ly. We were engaged. Then she went back to town, and I, likfe a fool, lived in a fool's paradise, anticipating the time when I should meet her again, to ask her to fulfill her promise. “Well, the upshot was that she had imagined me to be a cousin of mine. Garfield Howard, the wealthy manu facturer. When I called at her home •he was cuite frank about it. She said she had loved me and would have fulfilled her promise, but she had re solved never to marry a poor man.” "The horrid rat!” exclaimed Mil dred indignantly, slipping her hand into his. "That broke the spell, Mildred. I realized then that I had never loved her. I learned to laugh at my infatua tion. for I saw her as she was. and my love was dead. So don't you be afraid, in case we ever meet, for I have seen her two or three times since then, and there is nothing left in my heart but aversion.” "Darling!” said Mildred, putting up her face for a kiss. “And I am forgiven, dearest?” whis pered George. "Absolutely. Now listen, for the guests will be here in a few moments. I'm going to announce it and tell them your name. It's all a profound secret, just as I promised you. 1 want you to meet my friend—” But she did not finish the sentence, for the maid opened the door and an nouced Miss Upton and Mr. Edward Brooks. Mildred darted forward and embraced Fanny and shook hands with her fiance. "I want to present my fiance.” she annouced triumphantly. “Mr. George Howard. Miss Upton—Mr. Howard. Mr. Brooks. Now you have got to like each other as hard as you can. Fanny!” The last remark was almost an in terjection. for Fanny Upton had put forth her hand as gingerly as though it were of porcelain, and George was stretching out his finger tips as though he was afraid of never getting them back again. "Mr. Howard and 1 have met be fore." said Fanny icily. "You have? You never told me. Where?” “I think it was at Atlantic City, or thereabouts." said Miss Upton casual ly. (Copyright. 1913. tiv IV. Chapman.) NOT HARD TO TELL FORTUNES — Little Need for Soothsayer to Be Fit ted With Much More Than Ordi nary Intelligence. The way to tell people's fortunes Is to have one list of characteristics, and use it for every one without the slightest variation. It is bound to succeed. For instance, suppose Fal staff and Hamlet had their fortunes told by the same sothsaver. I imag ! ine he would have told Hamlet's char acter as follows: "Y'ou are not as fortunate as you seem. Y’ou have a great deal of sense, but more sense than knowledge. Y’ou can give admirable advice to other | people. Y’our judgment is excellent as regards others, but bad as regards yourself. Y'ou never value your own good advice. Y'ou are fond of your friends. Y’ou prefer to talk to action. Y'ou suffer from indecision. Y’ou are fond of the stage. Y'ou are suscepti ble to female beauty. You are witty, amiable and well educated, but you like coarse jokes. Y'ou are supersti tious and believe in ghosts. You can make people laugh. Y'ou often pre tend to be more foolish than you are. At other times you will surprise peo ple by your power of apt repartee. Y'our bane will be your inclination to fat. which will hamper you in fight ing. Y'ou are unsuccessful as a sol dier, but unrivaled as a companion and philosopher. Y'ou will mix in high society, have friends at court. Y’ou will come off badly in personal en counter and your final enemy will be a king." Now imagine him saying exactly the same thing to Falstaff. Doesn't it fit him just as well? Can't you imagine Falstaff saying: "He has hit* me off to a T;" and Hamlet murmuring: "My prophetic sou)'' In fact, 1 believe for tune telling after that of medicine, to be the finest profesion in the world, and the easiest.—Metropolitan. Reprinted by Request. An-editor in the Blue Grass state has been trying for a lpng time to in ject himself into politics and get elect ed to something. At last he was made a delegate to the state conven tion of his party. The day on which the convention opened was also the date of issue of his militant weekly newspaper: and .in the excitement of the moment, he had forgotten to write his usual burning editorial. He was reminded of his dereliction just as he was leaving town for the convention. "Oh." he said to the genial facto tum of the mechanical department, “just reproduce last week's editorial, and state that it is reprinted by re quest.” The intelligent foreman followed in structions, and the editorial was served up to the amazed readers un der the startling caption: "Reprinted by Request of the Ed itor.” Golf Ball Poachers. Many complaints have been re ceived by the police lately of the loss of golf balls from the Epping For est links, while actually in play. It is alleged that gangs of youths gather at places on the links where the play ers cannot see the balls fall, and that the balls disappear sometimes even when they fall on the fairway.

LOUIS, MO. ,41 MW I WHERE WE FIND EMERALDS Famous Muzo Mines in the Republic of Colombia Produce Finest Gems. The finest emeralds are found in the Republic of Colombia, at the fa mous Muzo mines in the department of Boyaca, seventy miles north by west of Bogota, which have been worked since • 155S. The Spaniards mined there in the middle of the six tenth century, but withdrew after a time, owing to continual fighting with the Indians; with the result that for awhile the locality of the mines was unknown. They are now worked by an English company, in partner ship with the government. The emer alds at Muzo occur in calcite veins running through black carboniferous limestone in all directions and at all angles. Often the limestone is cov ered with earth, in which bushes and trees are growing; this has to be cleared before prospecting is possible. When calcite veins have been located, the side of the hill is dug away in "banks," usually by Indians, whose chief tool is a steel bar forged to a point at one end. The pieces of cal cite vein are examined superficially for emeralds, and are then set aside for conveyance to the sorting-shed, where a detailed examination is made, and the emeralds are divided into fif teen grades according to color, trans parency, size, freedom from flaws, and so on.
