The obliging Lieutenant marched
out and proceeded with the other
soldiers, under the escort of the guards,

"Didn't the pills cure your" asked
the doctor, abruptly, looking over his
spectacles at the bogus Bridges.
No, but another box will fix me, |

"Well, WE'LL" said the doctor, half
to himself, "Tll have to change the
treatment on you"
Thereupon he picked up gradual
ing glass, and from various bottles
mixed the most internal mess that
mortal ever saw.
The Lieutenant shuddered.
When the villanious compound was
made up the doctor stirred it vigor-
ously and viciously, and, holding it
out, said:
"Drink that"
The Lieutenant took hold of the
glass. Cold chills ran up and down
his spine.

in the excitement the medicine vent
down the Lieutenant's throat.
When the Lieutenant returned to
the fodder loft he was very glum.

asked:

The Usual Result.

1t is not to be denied that good
machine is one of the most important
appurtenances of the modern house
hold.
We thought we had good machine
until one day the agent Of the Ne,o
Home presented himself at our door and
proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon
its characteristic merits.
"But," We answered, "our machine
suits US we'll and We do not care for
another
The agent, however, begged the
privilege of leaving one ofhis machines
with US, "for the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable, so
we granted it, but more to oblige the
agent than anything else; for we really
did not want the machine, and had not
the remotest idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it
was natuR.l that the ladies should look
it over; they did SO, and as a conse-
quence fell in love with it. They say
that without the slightest wish to de
cry or disparage any other machine,
this, all things considered. is, in their
opinion, the most desirable one to be
had.
This unrivaled machine is manufact-
ured by the NEW HOME SEWING

Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the ACCESSIBILITY of airing beds

regard may be attributed the close,
offensive odors which frequently
meet one, not alone in the homes OF
the poorer classes, but in the bed

is not enough to turn down the cover
ings only to draw them back half an
hour later. The unsavory fact that
the hody actually loses weight dur
ing nights slumber shows clearly
that more vigorous methods of treat
ment than these are required to free
the bed coverings of the exhalations
from the sleeper. Counterpart,
blankets and shee's should be strip

The mattress should be half turned
and propped against the footboard,

should be beaten energetically. Then
even in the bitterest weather the
windows should be opened wide, if
only for ten minutes, that the atmos-
phere of the apartment may be com
pletely changed.-Good Housekeep-

Gauze corduroy shaded from a
