LETTER FROM CAMP.

Says Betty, who has spread her small
person and voluminous many-ruffled
dainty skirts as much as possible over
the whole window seat: "Lovey dear,
such nice letter from poor old Freddy.

afternoon in endeavoring, so he said,
to perform the ceremony of baptism
in perfectly legal way.

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
paid 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 of
picture, 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 dining-room walls, though
their richness and beauty entities them
to place in the parlor of any home.
These original plaques have been pur-
chased at cost of $4,000 by j. Z.
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 a special process
in all the rich colors and beauty OF
the original. They are finished on
heavy cardboard, pressed aud en-
no. In he oh If vNIa ~
trimmed with a heavy band of gold.
They measure forty inches in circum-
ference and contain no reading matter
or advertisement whatever.
Until October l Messrs. ]. c. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co. propose to distribute
these plaques free to their customers.
Every purchaser of three ten-cent
packages of Elastic Starch, fat-iron
brand, manufactured by ]. 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 bene-
fits of this offer. These plaques will
not be sent through the mail, the only
way to obtain them being from your
grocer. Every grocery store in the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. 1t
is the Oldest and best laundry starch
on the market, and is the most perfect
cold process starch ever invented. 1t
is the only starch made by men who
thoroughly understand the laundry
business, and the only starch that Will
not injure the finest fabric. 1t has been
the standard for quarter of a CEN
fury, and as an evidence of how good
it Is twenty-five million packages were
sold last year. Ask your dealer to
show you the plaques and tell you
about Elastic Starch. Accept no sub
stitute. Bear in mind that this offer
holds good a short time only, and
should be taken advantage Of without
delay.

NO WOMAN Is EXEMPT.

Regularity is matter of Importance
In every woman's life. Much pain is.
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
Torrance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR Mrs PINKHAM:-I feel like

vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain

confused. Before using your remedies
/ never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. / now wish to say that never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhna. l hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
euce 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 of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

For a second a keen observer might
notice how white Bobby gets; what an
anxious look flashes ia his eyes; what
firm set his mouth takes. Then he
answers quietly:
IL wanted to go awfully, Betty. and
it gave me pretty good wrench to see
the other fellows shoulder their guns
and go off to fight around the old flag;
but my mother, you know-well, / sup

And there is little ring in his voice
as he says this that brings light into
Lovey Dear's soft gray eyes-a light
that, perhaps, who knows, may never
fail.

marks Betty, "and what will you do

and disappears to avoid reproaches.
For a moment there is silence in the
room, then Bobby looks up with the
same odd, grave expression on his
face that was there a while ago.

hurriedly, that you girls think ban

plain things while others so marching

"Lovey Dear" and though Bobby is
beaming like the midday sun and his
pleasant homely face is wreathed in
smiles his voice breaks in an odd little
way, and there is something besides
light shining in his eyes, "Lovey
