If every man and women plagued with
frequent headaches and every business man
made anxious by pain at the base of the
brain and neuralgia twinges, would take
Paine's celery compound, the world would
be lightened of vast deal Of misery that
ought never to be borne.
The most advanced medical thought of
the latter quarter of the 10th century has
prepared Psine's celery compound to meet
and overcome these troubles that are due
to i'll. fed, ill-regulated nerves and poor. thin
blood.
n n. Leaneard, M. D., of Charlestown,
Mass, whose portrait appears above, one
of the ablest physicians in the Boston dis
trict, man of character and influence,
says:
"After using Paine's celery compound
for four or Eve years in my general practice
l can cheerfully recommend it. For Ca
tarrh of the head or stomach, for instance,
| it acts like charm. For women in many
cases 1t is blessing. For chronic rheu-
matism it does give relief. Torpid liver,
general debility, constipation, pains in
stomach and loss of appetite it relieves, and
is the best of remedies in general nervous
prostration. l recommend it to many of
my patients, believing, as l do. in its real
merits. / believe it public blessing to
invalids, and, as yet, not fully appreciated
j. G. Flynn, NJ. D., we'll known Michi-
gan physician, is but one of hundreds who
prescribe Paine's celery compound because
it cures. Writing from Warren in this
state he says: 81 use the Paine's celery
compound freely in my practice as nerve
tonic, blood purifier and general tonic in
/ all debilitated conditions of the system. 1

from the grip, especially old people,"

Paine's celery compound is not patent

No Vclass of professional men are more
conservative, more careful in giving advice
or more panstaking in finding out the real
6acts of case than physicians.
Their recommendation in matters with
which they are conyeIsant is trustworthy.
rWhen physicians OF known repute not only
y prescribe and use. but also bring home
aPaine's celery compound tor their own
families, there can be no doubt Of its high
standing in the eyes OF medical men in

This is what busy, successful practitioners
ARE doing these spring days all over the

TPaine's celery compound is prepared. as
they all we'll know, from the formula of the
foremost physicians of this century. Prof.
Edward e. Phelps. M. D., LII d., of Dart

uneu there is absolute certainty to just what
Paine's celery compound is capable Of do
ing. The careful record of the vast num-
Rser of cases where it has made people well
giras been published in the medical journals
eof the country.
Paine's celery compound stands today as
the one thoroughly authenticated remedy
for weakness and debility due to malnutri-
zion of the nervous system and impure
blood.
This hard working, earnest class of pro-
Xessional men have never been slow in ac-

They declare that 1t gives the tired body
every possible chance to get back to a

Antiquity Of Asphalt.

Solomon once uttered the statement that
there Is nothing new under the sun. As
phalt is not new. Noah used 1t on the ark
to pitch 1t within and without. The safety
of the youthful Moses was due to the fact
that his little craft was pitched with asphalt
and slime. Herodotus states that asphalt
was used as cement I'm the building opera
tons and formed an important element In
the construction of the walls of Babylon.
Diodorus and others record the fact that II
was used in the practice of embalming by
the Egyptians.

materials equal asphalt; and the best as

Empire patterns are many, not only

In the line of heraldic patterns the

The frieze which accompanies this fine

corn. The attempt of Northern manu-
fatcurers to compete with the South
has thrown upon the market a great
deal of inferior hominy which turns
dark in boiling, and is quite diff
ferent product from the sweet white
hominy of old days. The reason is
simple: The Southern corn that makes
such delicious meal and superior hom-
my cannot be grown successfully at
the North, and all hominy made here
must be made from a corn inferior for
the purpose. Most of the important
city grocers now make a point Of
keeping. Southern hominy.
For hominy mullins mix cup of
warm boiled hominy, cooked to the
proper consistency for the breakfast
table, with a tablespoonful of butter,
a saltspoonful of salt and cup of
milk. Add this mixture gradually to a
cup and a half of pastry flour, In
which teasponful and half of bak-
ing powder has been mixed by sitting.
The consistency of these mullins will
depend upon the consistency to which
the boiled hominy was cooked, and if
that was thin they may require a
little more flour. Add last of all two

They are said to be the most un-
pleasant things to wear ever in
vented. In some of the collars made
in this style feathers take the place
of the silk projections, but they sim
ply make a bad matter worse.
However, women need not despair,
for there are many simple collar
novelties this season, as we'll as these
elaborate creations. The Pierrot
ruff, which is in high favor, is moth
ing but an unassuming little ruff1e,
and the idea of finishing the neck
with just a plain frill of silk or lace
is high in favor with some of the
most fashionable women. Other new
collars, which, if not so plain, are
almost as comfortable, have stock
Of medium height made of soft satin,
and from this fur tails hang down
over the corsage in clusters. Plain
bands Of iridescent galloon finish the
neck of some of the new cloth gowns
and others show a, stock of ribbon
laid in tiny pleats.
Many of the Partisan tailor-made
frocks have a stock collar of en-
boSsed leather. A French cloth
walking costume recently seen was
deep mauve in color with a stock
collar in white leather embroidered
with conventional design in green.
1t is invariably the color which
makes or mars the costume, and yet
| women will persist in wearing any
| collar which Dame Fashion pro-
claims the vogue. The same style of
collar cannot possibly be becoming
to all types of women, and the
| sooner women learn this, the better
dressed they will appear. A sensi-
BILE plan is to wear modified form
of the fashionable collar, changed to
suit the individual requirements of
the wearer Women with short, fat
necks should avoid the collar with
appendages' which reach to the ears,
while women with a crane-like neck
should hesitate before donning the
gown cut somewhat low and finished
with a simple little silk ruf11e.

Among the young women whose
achievements in this direction have
attracted attention and admiration
is Miss Young, of Virginia, whose
portrait 'in character as a sports
woman is reproduced in the G l o b e.
Miss Young has been sojourning in
Philadelphia for some time past, and

opportunity for indulging in the pas

The scarcity of game in this section
of the country makes her excursions
with gun and shooting bag less eX-
citing to Miss Young, but neverthe-
less she is becoming known to timid
birds in the woods around German
town and other places as a dangerous
person. On these excursions Miss
Young wears a Tam OShanter cap
