An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIas, manufactured by the

taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the n perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.

taste. but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and

DILEMMA OF A HOSTESS.
How She Got Out OF IL With the
Aid of a Discerning Man.

hhe vi a. DtBCCEhtuE
New York Sun: There was d
studio tea hostess the other aft
ernoon whose fifteen guests had ex-
hausted even her wall reserve of china,
when who should enter but guest
No. 16. Unluckily, the hostess hadn't
kept track Of her teacups. After a
few original remarks about the wealth
er, she all unwittingly asked the new
arrival to have n cup of tea. He as
sented eagerly. Then the hostess dis
covered that she was out of cups; both
tea tray and studio walls were alike
denuded of them. She counted noses
yes, there was the entire repertory
of fifteen, each in the hands of a guest:
Il feel just like a cup of tea this after
noon, you know" put in the sixteenth
guest, and yours is always so deli
cious." The hostess brain reeled.
What on earth should she do? Just
then she caught sight of guest No. Is,
who had taken a stand before the man
tel, preparatory to enjoying the brim-
ming cup of tea in his hand, and which
she had served him with but q moment
before. There's no other way" said
the hostess to herself, realizing that
guest No. Is, being her best friend in
the room, was most TO be imposed
upon. 'But how shall | manage it?
1t is a shame when he does SO like
tea, particularly my tea, and he will
understand without my making this
stupid sixteenth man understand,
too?" All this in a flash, while the
maligned sixteenth non was still ex-
plating upon the pleasures of tea.
Then, Jack" said the hostess, looking
guest No. Is straight in the eye, go
out and bring me a clean cup and
saucer, will you, please" There was
an awful instant of suspense, and then
guest No. Is departed, and the hostess
could only hope for the best. In an
incredibly brief time he r%eappeared
bearing an immaculate cup and saucer
that no one, unless she be IN agitated
studio hostess, would recognize rs the
identical article he had departed with
At all events guest No. 16 didn't rec
cgniZe them, and that was the main
thing. 81 almost scalded my throat
out accomplishing it," said guest No
Is later, "aHd it did seem such a pity
to take my lovely cup Of tea at one
gulp that way, but knew it was a case
of dire necessity" What the studio
hostess can't get over is the pcrspicac
ity of guest No. 10. Such penetration
on the part of a man was remarkable
Considering how slow most men arc
in grasping %subtabular telegraphy-
as il has been termed-this comprchen
sion of n mere look was as great an
achievement i'm social relations as com
munication without wires is in the
world Of science.

Largest Workshop in America.

Lasting success does not come in a mo-
ment, and true success Is never the result
OF luck" 1t takes time and real merit,
with plenty of experience and honest eff
fort, 10 reach the top in anything. The
history of the Deer!ng Harvester Co. OF
Chicago is an example Of success on a
large scale. With more employees than
any other single manufacturing plant Of
any kind in America, it is now running
day and night to fill orders. Since 1891,
when Deering machines were put on the
market with bicycle bearings" the
growth of the business has been marvel
Gus. The day is not far distant when
other manufacturers will be forced to
build lighter-draft machines or go out Of
business.

WHY WOMEN ARE NERVOUS.
Alum I'm Bread and Cakes Said to Ba
q Cause.

O Cause.
The frequent cases of nervous pros
tration or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women ''go all to
pieces" as the saying Is, have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part Of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
known to cause various forms OF ner-
vous diseases which are readily traced
to the poisons producing them. Fur
ther research leads to the belief that
alum Ii a prevailing cause of so-called
prostration, for the symptoms
It produces on the nervous system af-
ter its absorption into the blood are very
remarkable indeed. Experiments ply
siologically made upon animals by Or.
fila Professors Hans Meyer, Paul Selm
and others, show that alum frequently
produces no visible symptoms for many
days after It's introduction into the body.
Then follows loss OF appetite and other
alimentary disturbances and finally a
serious prostratlon OF the whole nervous
system. The most prominent physicians
now believe that nervous prostration'
and many affections OF the nerves from
which both men and women suffer are
caused by the continued absorption Of
alum into the system.
1t is probable that many medical men
are of the extent to which salts
Of alumina may be introduced into the
body, being under the impression that
the use of alum in bread is prohibited.
Alum, hbwever, is still used surreptl-
dously to some extent to whtten bread
and very largely in making cheap kinds
of baking powder. In families where
baking powder is generally used great
care should be exercised to procure only
those brands made from cream Of tar
tar. The alum powders may generally
be distinguished by the lower price at
which they are sold.
