grocer in Blufton, Ohio, suffered from heart trouble. caused by inAam-
matoryr rheumatism. One day he was reading L Prohibition paper called Ntw
Era published at Springfield, in the same State, and saw the advertisement OF
Ripans Tahmles. The advertisement led him to think that the Tabules might
do him some good, sc he went to the drug store to buy a box, but they were
not kept in stock. A travelling salesman happened to come along the same
day, and the grocer incidentally brought up the subject of Rpans Tabues.
The drummer had a bottle of them in his vest pocket, and he gave several
Tabules to the grocer. The medicine helped the latter right away, and a he
could not att that time buy them in the drug store, he wrote for supply to the
Rnans Chemical Co., New York, saying: The Tabules greatly relieve my
heart trouble" The demand for Rpans Tabules is increasing 81 la hal
today there are few druggists who do not keep them.

STAND IIpRiGAI-

There are many things In the lives OF
women which tend 10 develop carriage
OF the body anything but upright.
Girls who tend the baby become one
sided because they carry the little one
on one arm more than the other. They
might be taught the better way by their
parents or teachers. There are multi
tudcs Of little girls In all large cities
whose chief business Is TO tend the baby
while their mothers work. Deformity
IL common among them. IL \ girl has
any pride In being upright In body as
well as In morals. che can, even II shc
has an occupation which tends 10 make
her crooked, do much herself TO prevent
IL. In the first place carefully cultivate
the sense which tells her when she Il
standing straight and when she IL not.
BY paying attention TO this muscular
sense II becomes In time very acute. BY
neglecting IL the sense becomes dull, is
psraly zed. Cultivate IL daily or several
times day by assuming the upright at
titude. Stand before the glass and see
hen you are straight, or get friend to
tell you, aud then put yourself In this
attitude whenever you stand or walk, or
sit at any labor In which you are en-
gagged. II you have only 10 walk across
the room, do 1t iu an upright attitude.
II you have only TO stand and converse
with friend In the street, on the road,
at party, get yourself 40 accustomed
TO the upright attitude that you will feel
uncomfortable In any other. In time an
upright habit will be established, aud
constant attention TO Il will not be re-
auired.

PASTRY TALK.

In making custsrd, pumpkin or lemon
pies, it IL better to partly bake the crust
before adding the mixture, In order 10
keep the pastry from absorbing the
moisture aud becoming ''soggy."
Strips of cotton an inch wide, wet aud
placed around the edge Of the pies, will
keep the juice 10. IL should be removed
hen the pies are first taken from the
oven.
Hot cakes, pies, etc., need not be re-
moved from the pans In which they are
baked IL precaution Is taken 10 set them
up on small supports, so that the air
can circulate under them. This efictual-
~ prevents the moisture from steam in
the bottom of the pan.
Beef drippings may be used 10 place
OF lard and butter In making many OF
the table delicaeles. 1t should first be
clarified by pouring boiling water over
it, and stirring II so that the impurities
will be washed out and settle to the bot
tom. Let 1t cool and the clean drippings
will rise at the top and be ready for use.

70. DESTROY THE BUFFALO BUG

The buffalo moth IL usually Matched
early In April, and from that time on
carpets and such wooden hapgings or
garments as are suspected should be
carefully watched. The best preventive
and surcst method OF killing the bug
when found In carpet l. TO take guam
'i,y OF gasoline or benzine-several gal
Ions NJ least. Use Il watering-can, and
with IL sprinkle the carpet until thor
oughly saturated /; all windows and doors
In the room should then be tightly clos
cd sud remsiu 40 for at least six hours.
Care must be taken not TO do this while
the furnace Is In use. nor must any light
be allowed In or near the room, as the
gas generated Is highly imfismmsble.
A second, and, 10 extreme cases, third
application, at intervals Of fortnight,
will destroy any stray bugs which may
have been newly Matched.
Another remedy which fnds favor
with many housekeepers Il stesmiog
To do this, at least six irons should be
heated so that they can be used In rota-
ton. As the moth always begins around
the edges Of u carpet, moisten two or
three feet of the border with hot water !;
place over !, several thicknesses OF wet
cloth, aud iron over IL until the carpet
beneath II IL well penetrated With the
s,esm. Con;inu. In this way until the
entire margin sud any other parts To-
Tested have been treated.

"IAE BLUSH oE MopEsTY b

tHe olOSU VI WOOSSt We
Az though the idols Of our earlier
years were not falling with sufficient
rapidity, here comes another physician,
anxious to assure 40 that the "lOvely
blush Of startled innocence" ID after oil
only the manifestation Of q nervous
weakness closely allied 70 disease. A
tendency to blush, he says, 10 generally
regarded - sigu that the young woman
who does II 10 Ashamed, mor6idly self
conscious, or silly. Now both Of these
conditions are shown TO DO nervous dis
eases. Those who have red noses and
those who blush do not need the total
abstinence pledge or the stern repri-
mand Of the mother, ~ much - they
do the drugs and advice Of doctor.
Young women blush not because they
are ashamed or bashful, but because
they have vasomotor paralysis Of the
little blood vessels just underneath the
skin Of their faces. It IL . nervous
trouble, and is closely connected with
the burning sensations, shot flashes, !"
'cold sweats," felt by nervous people In
various parts Of their bodies. In a
young woman various slight emotions
have prompt effect on the nerves OF the
face. II may result In an excessive red
blush all over the body, In blushing on
only one side Of the body, or In the dain-
tiest little tinge Of red In the cheeks. 1t
depends In some cases on the cause, but
In most cases the lightest cause produces
the most startling bushes, II the young
woman Is nervous or hysterical. IL then
becomes n manifestation Of weakness In
the nervous system.

Fish Is certainly valuable acquisition
to the dietary Of the invalid and dyspep-
tic, often being well tolerated when
stronger kinds Of animal food cannot be
borne. Fish with white flesh Is less
stimulating and usually easier Of d.
gestiOn than fish with flesh more or less
red. Whiting, sole and founder are
white fish particularly suited to invalids
and others with weak stomachs, and for
such these, as well as other kinds Of fish,
should be boiled or broiled.
Among fresh-water dsh, trout, picker
ell and pike are notable for good flavor
and digestibility; salmon, for its red
flesh and high nourishing value; and
the eel for Its richness In fat and peculiar
flavor.

ney. They now take In American coal,
