Pleasant Gaines
A pleasant variation in an evening ot
games is the drawing of flowers with
colored crayons and then having your
guests guess the names of the flowers
A list of flowers should be made out
each one with a number On separate
slips of paper write the name of one
of the flowers with its corresponding
number until you have used each one
on the list Give each guest one of the
slips or have a draw for them and
provide them with crayons and sheets
of paper Give fifteen minutes for the
making of the flowers then collect the
drawings and pin them up about the
room As the names of the flowers are
read from the list guesses are given
as to which flower among the drawing
represents it Another pleasant game
is called matching quotations Well
known lines are written on slips of pa
per and then divided into bits each
part having three or four words These
fragments are pinned about the room
on furniture curtains and hangings
and each person takes one and starts
out to find the other parts that will
make the quotation complete Some
times the quotations may consist of an
entire line with the second line form
ing the other half to be looked for

paper hold a piece of bloting paper over
the spot with a hot flat iron for a few
moments

this means and are easily disposed of

house and put in a sunny window in
a pitcher of water the buds will soon
swell and blossom The pitcher should
be kept filled as the water evaporates

Fruit is not a complete dietary in ii-
self but it is excellent to accompaiiy
a meat diet The acid contained in the
fruits assists digestion and it is for
this reason that apple sauce should be
served with roast pork or goose the

Helpless Invalids The Story of One
Who Suffered for Twenty Years
From the Farmers Voice Chicago 111
Edson A Wood who now lives at 990
Washington boulevard Chicago 111 was
horn on a farm in Wyoming County N
Y fifty years ago As a young man he
suffered two sun strokes in the littjds
When the war broke out he joined the
57th Illinois Volunteers with which he
served two years when sickness forced
his discharge The effects of the sun
strokes and his army life undermined his
health and he soon found his brain heart
and kidneys were affected For eight
years he was with the West Chicago
Street Car Company but was forced to
seek lighter work as the exposure in
creased his bronchial and asthmatic trou
bles His constitution gradually but sure
ly breaking down strange dizzy spells be
coming more frequent he finally sought
relief in Dr Williams Pink Pills
He said to a reporter It was some tunc
about a year ago wnen 1 was very poorij
that my head was giving me a great deal
of trouble dizzy spells aches and queer
feelings and then I also had a strange
feeling of uncertainty in the use of my
lower limbs when walking
Physicians examined my condition
closely and were of the opinion that 1 had
all the first symptoms of locomotor ataxia
and I believe they were right also last
summer I had a very hard time with an
attack of tonsilitis and neuralgia from
which I did not recover for some time It
was then that I commenced to take these
Pink Pills and had only taken a few
boxes when I discovered a remarkable
change for the better in every way The
pills seemed to relieve me of aches and
pains the symptoms of locomotor ataxia
have left me entirely and they have made
me strong and feel like myself
I am going to continue with the use of
the pills for the reason that having re
lieved me of the ailments I thought had
come to stay having been caused thirty
years ago from hardships in the army J
am practically rid of them and will lose
no efforts when I have the remedy at
hand to keep them rid I am only too glad
to tell all my friends what experience I
have had with Dr Williams Pink Pills
and when they see the good physical con
dition I am in now although near sixty
years of age they will come to the same
conclusion as myself
The above is a correct statement of
facts concerning myself

DeaJkiess Cant Be Cureil
By local applications as they cannot reach the

flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper

Deafness is the result and unless the inflamma

its normal condition hearing -will be destroyed

Company that he knows a working
man who has been benefited by
Ripans Tabules after a severe
attack of the Grippe and he ap
pends the following statement
with permission to publish Testi
monial of Thos J Meals of the city
of Canton Stark County O I
had an attack of the grippe four
years ago this spring that left me in
a bad way My nervous system
was broken down and my digestive
apparatus in a condition that made
me miserable for days While able
to work at my trade as shearman
In a rolling mill I suffered more
or less all the time with my stom
ach Bitters and tonics were
literally taken by the gallon and
every variety of pills and potions
that promised relief I derived
some benefit from the use of some
of them if I continued taking them
but if I quit a few days my old
trouble would return Noticing
the advertisement of the Ripans
Tabules for impaired and bad
digestion I concluded to invest
in a few of them which I am
pleased to informyou have proven
all or more than I expected of them
While I have taken but a few of
them they have done me more good 4
than all the other remedies that I
have tried They relieve the
belching and sour stomach almost
at once and I feel better in every
way since I commenced taking
them The distressing headaches
which I always had preceding a fit
of indigestion have entirely left
me I will be glad to recommend
the Tabules to anybody suffering
from stomach troubles
