The war has brought the half mill
itary salutation into still more general
popularity. Even ladies consider that
lit is much more reverent and popular
than the old custom of the entlemen
lifting their hats to the women, and
tmany of the ''sex divine" are now re-
turning and giving the half military
lsalutation instead of the old time
formal bows. 1t is little awkward
lat the start, but the half military

is much more dignified than old time

Blood-CleaninR.

House-cleaning is duty in every wellreg.
ulated household. People don't wait until
the filth becomes painfully apparent, but it
stands to reason that in every day use more
or less dust or dirt accumulate. 1t is SO
with the human blood From the enormous
variety of eatables taken into the stomach,
a quantity of useless material is bound to
accumulate in the blood and clog the free

person should from time to time have a

blood purifier is Cascarets Candy Cathartic.
