A STRONG GUARANTEE.

For Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Influ-
enza, Whooping Cough and all Throat
and Lung troubles, Bauer's Instant
Cough Cure is generally conceded to be
the quickest and surest remedy known
to science. 1t loosens and clears the
bronchial tubes and prevents pneumonia.
Constant coughing racks and inflames
the lungs. It weakens their action and
consumption often follows, Why do
you run such risk when in Bauer's In
slant Cough Cure you have remedy
that acts quick and sure? 1t is pleasant
to take and does not cause that nausea
at the stomach 30 commonly following
the use of other cough cures. Children
can take Bauer's Instant Cough Cure
and they like it. This famous remedy is
sold under the strongest guarantee pos
sible. If it does not do the work your
money will be cheerfully refunded. For

SAVE THE SCRAPS.

When the family dinner is in the mid
die of the day it is desirable to have a
savory dish at supper. A long fast
usually follows the evening meal, and
there should be at least one substantial
article of food served at it to fortify one
for the abstinence of the night. 1t is
surprising how economically a good
meal can be prepared from fragments of
meat judiciously combined with other
remnants, if the housewife looks after
them herself and does not leave them to
the mercy of the wasteful servant.
Scraps that look very unpromising on
the bone will assume an entirely differ
emit aspect when minced to uniform
size and skilfully treated with potato or
bread-crumbs. A little good gravy can
easily be made by boiling few we'll
cracked bones for an hour, straining and
thickening the liquor with spoonful of
-four and small piece of butter. Heat
the mince in this, letting it come first to
the boil, and serve on squares of toast.
No one will think of calling it 'hash."
The flavor can be varied by using curry
powder, or cloves and allspice.
Instead of serving on toast, the meat
can be placed in baking-dish with
alternate layers of tomatoes, the gravy
being omitted. Cover the top with
bread crumbs, dot with little bits of
butter, and bake three-quarters of an.
hour. rfts

AwninRa In Big Lots.

ing maker, "costs as much as 1t would

"Not all of the great buildings require
awnings. Some of the very largest
have their principal exposure In such
direction that they are not needed, the
sun not shining on these windows dur,
Ing the hours the offices are occupied.
And then, of course, there are great
buildings that do not require awnings
on some sides, but need them on others
or In courts, and so on.
"1ere, for instance, is building with
about 1000 windows, Of which 600 or
thereabout are supplied with awnings.
Another building have In mind has
about LOGO windows. don't know
how many awnings they have there,
but If it is supplied In the same proper
ton as the other that would give 1t
about 1000 awnings. dare say that,
in fact, you would find in the city sim

of these great modern buildings amount

Too Suggestive.

An English clergyman had married
a young woman with q reputed dewry
of about 10000. while he himself had
"great expectations" Needless to say,
every soul In the village knew about 1t.
It was the first Sunday after their re-
turn from the honeymoon. and when
the sermon was finished the parson
proceeded. as usual, to give out the
hymn, verse for verse, to bis rustic
congregation.
All went we'll until the fifth verse
was reached, and the parson began,
Forever let my grateful heart" when
suddenly and with some confusion he
exclaimed. "Omit the fifth verse" and
Immediately began to reclte aloud the
sixth verse instead. Those who had
hymnbooks promptly read the fifth
verse:
Forever let my grateful heart
His boundea grace adore,
Which gives ten thousand blessings nov
And bids me hope for more.

WHAT WAS THE cuREs
PROBLEM THAT ONE WOMAN IS TRY
ING TO WORK OUT SINCE SHE HAD
AN ATTACK OF INSOMNIA.

The woman who usually goes to sleep
as soon as her head touches the pillow
was attacked with insomnia the other
night. Just as often as she shut her
eyes they few open again and her mind
busily went over the disagreeable events
of her life from the time when at years
old she had put her kitten in the oven
of the range to keep it warm up TO the
quarrel she had had with friend the
day before.
"Come! come!" said the woman to
her other self after an hour of such
musings. "This must be insomnia. If
it is I know how to cure it. I've been
told dozen times, by dozen different
authorities" So she turned on her side,
closed her eyes and breathed easily,and
naturally, according to directions.
Stimulating sleep is said to produce
the genuine article in 10 minutes" she
murmured, and then she simulated so
hard that it rinkled her brow.
At the end of half an hour she sat up
with start. "That's a ridiculous
method" she announced, confidentially.
81 will instead drink glass of warm
milk, than which, am assured, there is
nothing better for overcoming sleepless-
ness" She arose, lighted the lamp of
her chatting dish, heated the milk, drank
it and went back to bed.
Now she bethought herself # another
expedient, and straightway closed her
eyes again and began to count the black
sheep in an imaginary flock that was
jumping an imaginary fence. At least,
they should have jumped, but they
didn't. They one and all SHE'D at the
fence, and the expressions on their meek
and foolish faces were so funny that the
woman laughed aloud, as if it had been
2 o'clock in the afternoon instead of in
the morning.
At this point a rooster crowed some
where, and the woman said, Goodness
gracious" and went and leaned out the
window and took three long breaths of
the fresh air, thing she had read some
where would act as a soporific.
Then she went back to her pillow and
began to reckon if all her uncles and
aunts and cousins died and each left her
small amount of money, how much-she
would be worth at the age of IS. This
didn't prove amusing, and at o'clock
the woman filled her hot water bag and
placed it at her feet. with some sort of
an idea that it would render her drowsy
by drawing the blood from her head.
At $3.50 she discarded the hot water
bag and got up and read chapter in the
Bible, procedure followed with sue
cess by many sufferers from insomnia.
Then she wrote letter, walked around
the room and again went back to her
pillow. This at 4:30. What happened
next the woman does not remember, for
it was morning when she again Enclosed
her eyes.
"And I'll never know" she says, re-
gretfully, in telling. the story of her
miserable night, whether it was the
Bible or the letter or the promenade
that cured me. Baltimore News.

AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.
bne of the Tricks Performed By the
Fakirs of India.


Fakirs of India.
The fakirs of India perform some re-
markable tricks. The following one
was witnessed by an Englishman who
was himself an excellent prestidigi-
tateur:
The apartment being filed, the ma
gicians began their performance. The
audience sat on the floor about the
fakirs, so that they had no way Of con-
cealing themselves or Of hiding any
thing. At their request / examined
them and satisfied myself that they
had nothing about them. Then one OF
the women stepped into the Enclosure,
the rest remaining behind the spec
tators, who formed close ring about
them. The light was now turned down
a little, and in a moment the woman's
face began to be illuminated by
ghostly light that extended quickly
over her entire body.
She then began to move around and
around, uttering low, murmuring
sound the while, gradually quickening
the pace until she was whlrllng about
like top. A moment Of this, and the
light that had chung about her seemed
to be whirled of by centrifugal force
and assumed pillarlike form beside
her. AS soon as this was accomplish
ed she stopped, turned and began to
mold the light with her hand, and,
though l could distinctly see her hands
move through the light as If 1t were a
cloud, 1t began to assume human form.
We saw the arms, hands and legs all
nodded and finally the face and head
gear. She next called for light, and,
the candles being relighted, there stood
an utter stranger, native seemingly,
evolved out of cloudland. He stepped
forward and grasped me by the hand.
His hands were moist, as II with per-
SEPARATION. and he was very healthy
spirit.
After he had talked and drunk
glass of arrack he took his place beside
the woman again and began to whirl
about. The lights were dimmed, but
not so that we could not see, and In q
few minutes the figure began to fade,
soon assuming the appearance of a
pillar or form of light and then attach
ing itself to the woman and seemingly
being absorbed by her. All this was
done in very short space of time be-
fore the eyes of at least so people and
not ten feet from myself. The girl ap-
peared greatly exhausted afterward.

CARE OF uACES.

Iron lace on the right side first. then
on the wrong side to throw up the pat
tern.
When putting lace away, fold as little
as possible. A good plan is to wind 1t
round card. as they do In the shops.
When ironing laces. cover them with
clean, white tissue paper. This pre-
vents the shiny look seen on washed
lace.
Use contour instead Of ordinary
starch for stiffening laces. This makes
them firm and does not detract from
the lacy appearance.
Laces and other delicate trifes should
be placed in muslin bag before being
boiled. This prevents their getting lost
and torn in the wash.
After getting up" laces do not leave
them to mir In damp PLAYGROUND
the fire when the kettle is boiling. for
instance. This robs them Of their fresh.
ness and makes them look limp.
All laces before being ironed should
be carefully pulled out, each point re-
ceiving attention. You will be repaid
for your trouble. as the lace will look
twice as nice and last clean much
longer time.
