The statements in the testimonial below
are familiar facts to the Immediate friends
of Mr. Geo. A. Zirlzle, school teacher, of
Mt. Horeb, Tenn, very well known
throughout the county, where he was
born and has always lived. It illustrates

Poor Indeedl

The prospect of relief from drastic cathar
tics for persons troubled with constipation is
poor indeed. True they act upon the bowels,
but this they do with violence, and their
operations tends to weaken the intestines, aud

Stomuch Bitters is an effectual laxative, but
it neither gripes nor cnfccbles. Furthermore.
it promotes digestion and regular action of
the liver and the kidneys It is an efficient
barrier against and remedy for malarial COM
plants and rheumatism, and is of great bene-
lit to the weak, nervous and aged. AS med

like this medicine is known to medical science.

The woman who aspires to be beauti-
full will need the contents OF q small
drug store In her bathroom to aid In tie
laudable undertaking. The woman who
merely tries to make her bathroom pur-
veyor to comfort and cleanliness will
need good many things, OF which the
following are few:
Every bathroom must have a cork or
rubber mat placed beside the tub. Wool
en- mats absorb moisture and become
dingy and unhygienic. The cork or rub
Der mat Ia the proper thing upon which
to stand while one Is having her morn
ing rundown.
Every bathroom should have attached
to the wall beside the tub, low enough
10 be accessible, two small wire trays
one to hold the sponge and the other the
soap In the intervals Of bathing, when
these articles are not In active use.
Every bathroom should contsin a set
Of shelves. On these shelves should be
kept soap, tooth powder, a can of almond
meal, a Jar Of cold cream, bottle OF am
monia. a bottle OF alcohol, bottle OF
lavender or violet water, bottle OF
listerine and bottle Of witch hazel. Oh
course the woman who INDUCES In
lotions and bleaches, will keep them
there also. IL medicine Is kept in tht
bathroom II should not be mixed indis'
crlminately with the toilet preparations
but should have section to itself.
The brushes which every woman
needs for her bath are flesh brush fol
occasional use, rubber complexion
brush and nail brush. Some skins are
kept smooth by friction: Others are
roughened. 1t will. therefore, be thu
part Of wisdom not TO indulge In contin'
ual scrubbing until one discovers which
sort of skin she has. The loofah serve:
as a combination wasbcloth and brusl
for the woman who cannot stand violent
| friction.

breakfast, but his laughter Is only the

The man who spreads his laughter

when he misses the train; when his wife
goes visiting and he has to eat cold
supper; the man who can laugh when h'

Of the twins come down with the meas

that's needed.
He never tells his neighbor 10 have

He delivers no homilies; the sight OF hi'
beaming face, the sound OF his happy
voice, and the sight Of his blessed daily
life, carry convictions that words have
no power To give.
The blues flee before him a. the foi
before the west wind; he comes into hi

presence like June roses. His home Is

There are many uses 10 which common
salt may be put, and some OF these are
well 10 know. For instance, II SCOT
falls from the chimney upon rug or
carpet, an equal quantity Of salt should be
thrown upon 1t, and then the whole
swept up together. No stain will be left
| by the SCOT II this is done.
When brasses are to be cleaned, espec-
tally those who do not owe their lustre
to shellac, mixture of salt and vinegar
will be found excellent to remove stains
and restore brightness.
A little salt thrown in the water in
which ginghams and colored lawns are
| washed, will set the colOrs and keep
them from fading.
In cooking chops or steak over coal
fire, very frequently blaze starts up
from the fat which falls into it, caus-
| ing the meat to be blackened. This can
be avoided by throwing salt upon the
Goals, when the blaze will Immediately
subside.
A bag Of good salt standing open in
the kitchen will absorb any disagreeable
odors arising from fish or other food.
Salt is an excellent dentifrice when
used very occasionally. 1t whitens the
teeth wonderfully, cleanses the mouth,
and is a good tonic for the gums.
Dirty wicker baskets can be made to
look like new, If they are well scrubbed
with salt and water, and then put into
the sunlight and air until dry.
