To Suppress Cooking Odors.

In small house or a fiat the smells
arising from the boiling of cabbage,
frying, etc. are soon waited through
the passages and even to the drawing
room unless some care is taken to re-
move them. 1t should be one OF the
rules of the kitchen that the grating
over the stove is opened before frying
is commenced or a cabbage, ETC., is put
on to boil. and in addition to this pre-
caution the cook should be instructed
to sprinkle vinegar frequently on the
hot plates of the range or stove. The
vinegar might be kept boiling in an
open vessel, but, in spite of its strong
odor. then it does not seem as effective
as when burned on the hot iron.-Phil-
adelphia Public Ledger.

when the capacity for motherhood ceases
(the change of life.
DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescription was
devised to make these three periods safe
and painless by restoring to vigorous
health the organs involved. 1t soothes,
heals, nourishes. 1t gives Nature just
the help it needs. 1t is the only prepara-
ton of its kind devised by regularly
graduated physician and skilled spec
ialist in the diseases of women.
Me- too medicines are preparations
without standing or success. They are
the substitutes sold as "just as good. I"
Having no record of their own, when Dr.
Piercc's cures are referred to they cry
me-too, me-too, like the cuckoo in a
Swiss clock. Don't accept me-too medi-
cines for Favorite Prescription.
Mrs M Barnes, of Balls Ferry, Shasta Co., Cal,
writes: MY physician said was suffering from
the effects Of change of life had heart dis
ease, and female trouble and rheumatism My
head was so dizzy could hardly stand up. When
began Dr. Pierce's medicines improved right
along. I took seven eight bottles of the Fa-
vorite Prescription teaspoonful three times a
day, aud the Pleasant Pellets at night. / feel
as well as I ever did. I take great pleasure in
recommending DR. Pierce's medicines to suffer
ing women 1 think that they are the best
medicines in the world"

Many Women Smokers,

Statistics have been taken in France
of the spread of the habit of smoking
and it has been discovered that within
the last year the cigarette and even,
astonishing as it may appear. the pipe
have found an enormous increase in
their female votaries. The fashion Of
smoking among women is no longer
confined TO the secrecy of private
room. The Duchess de Uzes and the
Marchioness de la Rouchefoucaula now
publicly take a cigarette after dinner
and whatever these ladies permit
themselves may safely be taken as a
sign of the highest benton. The sta
tistics alluded to show that SO7 900, 900
cigarettes are yearly consumed in
France.

Lord Chief Justice Russell has in

stop to the giving or receiving Of Sc

this bad business began some four
years ago, when a large furniture
firm discovered that one of its buyers

they had TO resort TO the questionable
device of putting a confidential clerk
in the buyers position, who obtained
promise from most of the dealers 70

brought against one house to represent
the difference covered by the commits
