ARTISTIC HOMES.
How "A Great Manufacturer Has Brought
Them within Reach of All.

Probably at no time in the worlds
history has so much attention been
raid to the interior decoration of
homes as at present. No home. no
matter how humble, is without its
handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surround
ings more cheerful The taste of the
American people has kept pace with
the age, and almost every day brings
forth something new in the way or
picture, a draping. piece of furniture
or other form of mural decoration.
One Of the latest Of these has been
given to the world by the celebrated
| artist Muville, in a series OF four
| handsome porcelain game plaques.
Not for years has anything as hand
| some in this line been seen. The sub
jects represented by these plaques are
| American Wild Ducks, American
| Pheasant, American Quail and English
! Snipe. They are handsome paintings
and are especially designed for hang
! ing on dning-rcom walls. though
| their richness and beauty entities them
! to a place in the parlor of any home.
| These original plaques have been pur-
chased at a cost of $4,000 by j. &.
| Hubinger Bros. Co., manufacturers OF
the celebrated Elastic Starch, and in
order to enable their numerous GUS
toners to become possessors OF these
handsome works Of art they have had
them reproduced by special process
in all the rich colors and beauty of
the original. They are finished on
heavy cardboard, pressed and en-
bossed in the shape Of a plaque and
trimmed with a heavy band of gold.
They measure forty inches in circum-
ference and contain no reading matter
or advertisement whatever.
Until October / Messrs. J. C.. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co. propose to distribute
these plaques free to their customers.
Every purchaser of three ten-cent
packages Of Elastic Starch, hat-iron
brand manufactured by j. c. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co., is entitled to receive
one Of these handsome plaques free
from their grocer. Old and new GUS
toners alike are entitled to the bere-
fits of this offer. These plaques will
not be sent through the mall the only
way to obtain them being from your
grocer. Every grocery store in the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. II
is the oldest and best laundry starch
, on the market, and is the most perfect
, cold process starch ever invented. Ii
Is the only starch made by men who
} thoroughly understand the laundry
business. and the only starch that vii
not injure the finest fabric. 1t has beer
the standard for a quarter of cen
fury, and as an evidence OF how gooC
, ii is twenty-five million packages were
, sold last year. Ask your dealer tC
show you the plaques and tell yol
) about Elastic Starch. Accept no sub
stitute. Bear in mind that this offe
holds good a short time only ant

NO WOMAN is EXEMPT.

Regularity is matter Of Importance
In every woman's life. Much pain Is.

"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel like q

vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. Ny troubles were pain
! full mens.ruation and leucorrhea. L

confused. Before using your remedies
l never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. / now wish to say that L never
had anything do me SO much good Tor

hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of lcucorrhoa. / hope these few
words may help suffering women
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal'
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia e. Pinkham' and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department o.
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand aiming
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited u
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn
Mass, for advice about their health.

Spaip. France and Russia Combine.

Madrid newspapers state that
treaty of alliance has been signed be-
tween Spain, France and Russia with
the object of counteracting the Anglo
German influence. The idea of per-
manent rapprochement between France
and Spain is certainly in the air and
may in time assume considerable prac-
tical Importance. 1t had its origin in
Frances role in the peace negotiations,
and report of friction with England
over Spain in the peighborhood OF
Gibraltar Many patriotic Spaniards
who apprehend further sacrifices dur
ing the forthcoming peace negotia-
! tions, regard the suggestion of French
alliance with much favor, especially as
French help would be very useful also
in the great work of financial and
economic reorganization which Spain
must undertake directly peace is con-
cluded.
