I CURED PVJUJPTURiE
I Will Show You How To Cure Yours
FREE.
' I was helpless and bed-ridden for years from b uooble rupture.
No truss could hold. Doctors said I would die if not operated on.
I fooled them all and cured myself by a simple discovery. I will
send the cure free by mail if you write for it. It cured me and hM
since cured thousands. It will cure you. Write to-day. Capt W. A.

balsams," etc., owe their efficacy to
some sedative contained therein.. The
action comes through the nervous sys
tem. It is injurious to the delicate
stomach of a child to compel it to
digest a quantity of useless syrup.
Headache tablets snould be used in
moderation. They have a somewhat
damaging effect upon the blood and
circulation. They only give tempo-'
rary relief at best.
The woman who desires to be good
looking should first be healthy. She
should strive to be what she wishes
to appear and should appear1 what she
wishes to be. It is said to be a psycho
logical fact that a very ambitious per
son projects an image or ideal of him
or herself and patterns after it.
Aqua ammonia (hartshorn) - is a
very serviceable household remedy.
It is useful for insect stings, slight
burns, etc. With equal parts of tur
pentine it forms a good liniment for
rheumatism, sprains, and bruises.
Cloths wrung out of diluted ammonia
water and placed over the chest are
very useful in croupy and asthmatic
conditions.'
Open the doors occasionally even
on cold days." We nre inclined to
fear freezing.
HINTS BY MAY MANTON
It should be remembered that the
temperature on the floor is consid
erably lower than four or five feet
higher. This is one of the reasons
why young, children take cold so
easily.
Alcohol is the antidote for carbolic
acid poisoning. The stomach should
also be emptied and protected by
white tf eggs or other emulsion.

PURE AIR A REMEDY
The wonderful tonic of pure air has
cured many cases of consumption and
prolonged the lives of others so that
this dread disease has to a certain
extent lost its terrors. A young
friend who ten years ago was taken
with hemorrhage of the lungs for a
time was so seriously ill that little
hope of her life was given, but her
husband, being a physician, took her
at once to Rocky Ford, Colo., and
kept her out of dors most of the
time, having her sleep on an out door
balcony from that time traui tne pres
ent, and she is now a healthy woman;
but is not yet and probably never wil
be able to visit her native state, Iowa

hemorrhages might return. The only

TUCKED SHIRT WAIST 5218
Such a shirt waist as this one is
very generally becoming and is par
ticularly well liked for flannels and
other materials of colder weather al
though it can be utilized for wash
able ones with perfect success. The
yoke is cut on becoming lines and
the plain back and tucked fronts com
bine most satisfactorily while the box
plait at the front gives the unbroken
line that is always desirable at that '
point. The sleeves are quite novel :
with deep cuffs that are tucked diag
onally and closed by means of orna
mental buttons and loops. In this case
dark red French flannel is stitched'
with belding silk and made over the
fitted lining, but all the season's
waistings are appropriate and the lin
ing can be used or omitted as indi
vidual preference may decide.
The waist consists of the lining,
which is closed at the center, front,
the plain back, the tucked fronts and
the yoke. The box plait is quite sep
arate and is attached to the right .
ront edge, the closing being made by
means or buttons and button-holes
worked through the center. The
sleeves are the favorite ones of the
season . that are full above the cuffs
and, there is a regulation stock at the
neck that can be worn with the little
embroidered turn over, as illustrated,
or left plain as preferred.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is 4 yards 21.
34 yards or 2 yards 44 inches wide.
The pattern 5218 is cut in sizes for
a 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 inch bust
measure.
