How. to make a piano an ornamental

serious problem to the average house
wife, for piano Is cumbersome piece
brac placed upon it interferes seriously
with its tone. However, pianos are nee
essary-absolutely necessary-so all that
can be done Is to make 1t look as at
tractive as possible OF course, the
square piano is very rarely seen-long
ago being traded of for the upright or
grand. The modern upright OF the style
of the Mathushek and Chickering are the
most used, so let us consider them as
piece of furniture usually the most
prominent article in the whole room
Position is everything, which, Of course,
the size. angles and openings in the room
must govern. But don't put the piano
straight up against the wall and don't
have the keyboard In the. dark. For
ter still, light silks to match the colors
of the room and which are inexpensive:
Pushes and yelvets are too heavy ana
usually quite costly, plant or small
so will photographs piano lamp or a
smaller artistic lamp will add greatly to
the piano side of the room. BY using a
little care and taste in the arrangement,
Il piano can be made the most decorative
article in the house.
How many women are going to take
advantage of the low rates and attend the
Mardi Gras carnival at New Orleans!
What time for spring shopping! What
a chance to look around! Nearly all the
great piano house of Philip werlein. Ltd.
have arranged a series of concerts
with their wonderful automatic piano
playing 'Angelus." Science has at last
produced an instrument that can be at
tachcd to any piano which will play any
piece of music you may wish for, though
you may have no knowledge of piano
music. Wonderful, you will say.
An average of nearly 1000 pianos a
years., 900 Mathushek pianos sold in the

Mathushck is made especially for damp
climate. That's the whole secret, and
one many will appreciate Possibly you

instrument to be in tune. But the

perfect tones indefinitely.

city or town bred man who has all his life
bumped his back over a desk, living an
unhealthy, sedentary life and failed to take
any care of his health, could not stay on
the back of one of these vicious brutes for
more than three jumps.
1t takes whole man to conquer vicious

superiority and refinement and good breed
ing, but every man takes off his hat to
physical strength and endurance. While
the man who leads sedentary life cannot
hope, in this respect, to rival these sturdy
men of the plains they can be sound, Wig
orous, healthy men if they will. 1T is a
matter of care of health while one has it,
and the proper measures to restore 1t when
1t is lost. Most diseases begin with some
trouble of the digestive organs or of the
liver. Troubles of this nature starve the
body, because they prevent it from receiv-
ing its proper supply of nourishment. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery gives a
man an appetite like a cowboys and the
digestion of an ostrich. Its great work is
upon the stomach, large intestines and liver.
These are the organs that nourish a mans
body. This medicine makes them strong,
