A Cure for Colds and Grip.
There is inconvenience , suffering ane
danger in a cold , and the wonder is that
people will take so few precautions against
colds. One or two Lane's Pleasant Tab
lets ( be sure of the name ) taken when the
first snuffly feeling appears , will stop the
progress of a cold and save a great deal of
Unnecessary suffering. Druggists and deal
ers generally sell these tablets , price 25

Best to Wi-d Country Girl.
Tlie country girl has in many ways
a decided advantage over her town-bred
cousin. As a guest , the country girl
gives little or no trouble in the house.
No special dishes have to be prepared
to coax u captious appetite , for she en
joys with n healthy relish everything
that is set before her. At breakfast she
is always fresh and amiable , while the
town girl is sleepily toying with a
morsel of toast.
From a man's point of view a coun
try cousin prescsses many admirable
traits -which he devoutly wishes the
town girl would emulate. In the first
place , she can don her walking attire
and be read } * io accompany him for a
stroll liefore the girl from the city
would even have decided which hat she
would wear for the occasion. The best
type of country girl makes a splendid
wife. She is not used to being pam
pered in every little whim , and the man
who wins her has a wife who will face
any trouble with him , be it great or
small.
Shrinking ; Materials.
Before making the white linen dress
skirt , or any material that is liable to
shrink , fold the goods carefully and
place it in a tub and cover with wa
ter. Let it get thoroughly wet. Stretch
the clothes line as tightly as possible ,
hang the goods through the center , and
pin perfectly straight on the line.
When dry let two persons stretch the
goods , as curtains are stretched , fold it
with the wrong side of the material
out and iron it double , with the seam
running through the center of the goods
on the length of the material. In
shrinking colored prints for children's
clothes , add turpentine to the water
and it will set the color. A teaspoonfnl
is used to a sal Ion of water.
History Uypenis Itself.
The fact is rpcaUod thai a number of
years atro , in the early days of the wo
man suffrage movement. Susan 15. An
thony and Elizabeth Oady Stunton
wore bloomers. They did not continue
: o do so for am'length of time , how
ever , as they came to the conclusion
that it was needless self-sacrifice on
tlif'ir part. Now , it Is rumored that
the suffragettes in England , in order
that they may be always prepared for
forcible ejection , \w\\r trousers under
their petticoats.

The Old-Kaihioiied Woman.
The old-fjishioned woman looked well
: o the ways of her household. She was
lot particularly ambitious for a career
> r a calling. She did not know that
she was downtrodden , or realize her
gnominious servitude to a false as-
iumption of superiority on the part of
he unfair sex. She found the homage
md chivalry of mankind delightful ,
ind took it at its face value. Nor did
she trouble herself about the potential
reconstruction of the family on a new
basis of relationship. She was not
struggling to be recognized as man's
equal , for she found it tacitly admitted
on all sides that she was man's supe
rior. She felt a deep and rational de
light in various concerns and enterpris
es , but these were not of such a na
ture as to call for the sacrifice of her
first and nearest interests which were

Milk Diet to Increo.se "VVelfflit.
Drink a pint of hot water on rising.
In half an hour eat six prunes that
have been soaked over night. In half
an hour drink half a cup of milk , and
every three-quarters of an hour drink
the same , increasing gradually the
amount until a cup instead of half a
cup can be drunk. Before retiring eat
a tablespoonful of bran in half a cup
of milk. Six quarts of milk a day Is
the quantity finally to be taken. No
solid food must be taken , else you will
keep thin. A woman paid $25 for the

One conspicuous novelty is the use ot

An odd trimming on a white mara
bou turban is a cluster of yellow velvet

Many fancy tics are being worn just

The new mantles , simply IIUIIL ; and of

'Only u Cloud.
Only a little fleeting cloud
On the blue of summer sky.
But it widened out and darkened o'er
As the summer day went by.
Chilly it grow , the gray old earth ,
And the grieved world murmured low ,
Till the fleeting cloud went on itb way
In the evening's sunset glow.

But it rankles in the koart ,
And my life's grown gray since that hars -

For Pimples.
Take a 5-ccnt package of epsom salts ,
add two quirts of water and let it
simmer down to one quart. Take a
tablespoonful several times a day , and
also wet the afflicted parts often. Gen
erally good results may be seen in a
day or two. This recipe is said to be
good for any eruption of the skin , as
it is cooling to the blood.
Drinlc For the Sick.
A convalescent often sutlers greatly
from thirst and is not permitted to
drink enough water to allay It. In
such cases a slightly avid drink gener
ally gives relief. A few drops of lemon
water , unsweetened , is refreshing and
digestible. Orange juice and cracked
ice can be given to a patient who can
retain little else.
It Pay.s to He Atreeil le.
It Is much better to get along
equably with people than to antagonize
them. In the former way all is serene ,
while in the latter there is constant
friction. This is good for no one and
will not be tolerated long in any office.
Girle who are inclined to indulge in
it will find themselves replaced by
others who are well mannered.

Under the Pure Food Laws baking
powder labels nuw show the ingredients
of which the powder is made.
Those who appreciate the importance
to health and good baking of using a
pure cream of tartar powder will read
the back of the label carefully and
make sure that the ingredients men
tioned include cream of tartar.
Tlie food law does not force consum
ers ; it merely helps them to protect
themselves. All good housekeepers want
cream of tartar baking powders , and
will not , use alum substitutes in the
food , if they know it. As the ingre
dients are printed on the back of the
label , all may know the facts.
Good baking powder is one of the
most useful things in the kitchen ; it is

serves the health of the family.
