SOme Old Fashions Revival

There is at present revival of old
fashions steadily going on. Populal
favor has returned TO many Of the
customs of early times and our homes
are rapidly assuming an air of the
past.
The old spinning wheel has returned
from exeile and forms conspicuous and
interesting ornament in our homes.
Quaint old tapestries, rugs and articles
OF furniture have been restored to de-
served popularity.
There 10 reason for this revival.
Our ancestors were of the substantial
kind and their tastes were accordingly
marked.
They looked to their personal COM
fort and when it was attained they
stopped.
Fashions foibles had no charm for
them and in mind and person they were
the equal of any people the world has
yet seen.
Quick in perception and accurate in
judgment, they soon detected the cause
Of any physical discomfort and as quick
ly applied the proper means for the re-
moval of it.
Conspicuous among some of the old
fashions recently revived has been the
reproduction of some OF our grandmoth-
er's early time home cures, which are
now holding deserved position in popu-
lar favor, under the name of Warmers
Log Cabin remedies and include Sarsa-
parilla for the blood, Hops and Buchu
for the stomach and system, cough
remedy for colds, extract for internal or
external pain, hair tonic, rose cream for
catarrh, plasters and pills.
For purity, simplicity and for their
genuine beneficial properties they are
unequaled and are worthy of our good
old grandmothers, who first produced
them.
May there be q revival, by their use, of
the good health and long lives OF early
timesl
