OUR GREATEST ENEMY.

The greatest enemy to our general
health is neglected cough. 1t is dam
gerous to allow a cough to run; by so
doing you put yourself in condition
for consumption to take firm hold
upon you. Ninety-nine per cent of the
cases of consumption are caused by a
neglected cough. Statistics prove it.
When the cough first commences is
the time to stop it. Bauer's Instant
Cough Cure is guaranteed cure for
coughs, colds, bronchitis, influenza, Ia
grippe, whooping cough and all other
throat and lung troubles. 1t is guaran-
teed to cure or your money will be re-
funded. The enormous sale of Bauer s
Instant Cough Cure is positive proof
that it cures or the people would not
buy it. Ask the following druggists for
a free sample bottle and try it: F. A.

who is soon to be my bride and said

Before she could reply the nose OF

FEW WORDS ON BED MAKING.
Every woman thinks she knows how
to make bed, but if she possesses the
knowledge she does not always practice
it.
Few things are more delicious than to
creep YEARLY into sheets that are fresh
and fragrant from clean water and
oxygen. How restful to place the tired
head or pillows that are thoroughly
shaken, and how comfortable it is to
draw around one bed clothes that are
satisfactory, not too thick in one place
and entirely untucked in another.
In the morning every article should be
taken off and laid separately over a
chair, and strong current of air should
be allowed to circulate through the
room before the clothes are replaced.
The mattress should be turned daily and
from end to end. as this ensures it being
worn more evenly, and it will not sink in
the middle, which spoils the looks Of
any bed, no matter how beautiful its
cover.
The new fashion of woven wire springs
Is great improvement ONci ehC uO"'s
old-style spring, which, when once
taken upstairs, was bound to remain
there long time. The careful house
wife will cover the springs of her beds
with muslin, so that it may be taken off
and washed. This saves the mattress
all chance of rust marks from the metal.
Clean newspapers will answer the same
purpose.
1t is only the soundest sleepers who
can enjoy their slumbers when. by a
scanty supply of sheet the blanket
scratches face and neck. Narrow bed
clothing is even worse, especially where
the barbarous custom of sleeping two in
a bed holds good. One drags the clothes
one way, the other exhausts strength in
clinging to them for dear life, and
neither is comfortable. A simple remedy
for this discomfort is to place one
blanket lengthwise across the bed. In
this way there is double advantage-less
weight on the shoulders and plenty of
chance for firm tucking up.
A restless child might be prevented
from many cold if blankets were
placed across the bed. 1t is the careful
watch of detail in home life that makes
it differ from hotel, and nothing is
more satisfactory.-McCalls Magazine.

ing" Instantly, from nowhere in par
ticular, in strange voice, came an in
dignant exclamation, "I'm not doing any
such thing"
The girl with an air of dainty fresh
ness is sure to be admired. She may not
have many changes of gowns, she may
have but few hats, but if she always
has the air of being just spick and span
she will never lack charm. Of course
she must be almost perfection in de-
tails.
The edges of her skirts are fresh, her
shoes carefully polished, and handker-
chiefs, neckwear, and all her modest
attempts at finery must be crisply fresh.
This means the strictest attention.
Brushing and pressing will take time,
and once one establishes reputation for
this sort of spotlessness it must be kept
up, because what would not be noticed

AN OBJECTIONABLE HABIT.

A disagreeable trick, and one that
children easily fall into, is biting the
nails. If not promptly checked it will
contine into adult life and ruin the
shape of nails and finger tips. Extreme
nervousness or excitement generally
causes the child to bite the nails in the
first place, and if not checked it quickly
becomes habit. Help the child to
overcome the nervousness, and, If the
fingers still find their way to the mouth,
they must be dipped into solution of
something bitter until the little culprit
has learned better manners. As early
as possible teach the child to trim and
keep the nails in order, and endeavor to
make him take pride in them, which
will greatly remove the temptation to
bite them.-Exchange.

"A good many years ago." said well
known Michigan lawyer who was rem
iniseencing the other day, Il became
greatly interested in a state prison
case. A young farmer was charged
with having driven of ten out Of a
flock of twelve sheep and sold them to
q butcher. He put up fair defense,
but was convicted and sentenced to a
term Of three years.
There were plenty Of people who be-
Heved that he was perfectly innocent.
and even the butcher who bought the
sheep came in time to doubt II he had
identified the right party. After the case
had stirred up whole county took q
hand in 1t. In my petition to the gov
ernor had the evidence Of the young
mans father, mother and sweetheart.
and got eight Of the Jurors TO sign it.
I made out such a good case that the
governor took it under Amusement and
finally agreed to issue pardon. In
speaking to me Of the case he said:
There is no sort Of doubt in my
mind that this was q case Of mistaken
identity, and shalt be only too glad TO
restore the young man to liberty
1T became my pleasant duty to drive
seven miles over the muddiest of roads
to bear the news to the parents that a
pardon was to be issued. The old man
was under the weather and in bed In a
room off the parlor. The wife received
me and sobbed over the good news anG

and they both spoke in loud tones. and

WOMAN IN THE HOME

Home making is the one manufacture
in which women will always have the
advantage. The woman who makes a
home earns her living in the fairest and
best way.
A living is scant pay for her. She
earns happiness and honor. Her price
is above rubies.
All our external industries, all our
legislatures and courts, all our armies
and navies, exist mainly for the support
and protection of that kingdom which
woman rules.
When man says that wifehood is a
woman's only career, he awakens much
resentment. And rightly. 1t is not her
only career 1t is not career at all. 1t
is large enough to hold a hundred
careers. There is room in it for all the
accomplishments. None of the tones of
life come amiss to it, except the sour
and the strenuous.
Returning to ones domicile is very
different thing from going home. We'd
dings are more numerous than mar
riages. Parents live on every street
fathers and mothers are not so common.
Their number is greatly diminished by
the prevalence of two destructive habits;
the ''yes-dear" habit; and the "stop-
that" habit.

WOMEN WHO FUSS.

Can there be anything more wearisome
for guest than to be entertained by a
restless, fussy hostess, or for the latter
to have to entertain the same sort of a
guest?
And yet how often this has to be done,
for there are numbers of women who
seem TO have an idea that it is sign OF
good manners to show friendliness and
hospitality by continual hustle and
movement. Sometimes this want of
restfulness is caused by shyness and
nervousness, occasionally from tina,
ignorance of what to do and say in soci.
ETY. that arises from inexperience. Some.
times, alas. it is the nature of the
woman to fidget and fuss, to press all
sorts of attentions upon her visitors, to
beg them to do this thing or that, gener.
ally the very things that they would in.
finitely prefer not to do, and insist upon
leaving undone those very things that
they would like to do; and all this is
done in what she imagines to be the
true spirit of hospitality.
They mean so we'll, these active, rest
less, kindly-intentioned women, but, oh,
how dreadfully fatiguing they are to
live with, or have much to do with. The
worst of it is that it is their nature to
fuss-they never realize what trial
they are to their friends and relatives,
and, being quite satisfied with them
selves, it is hopeless to expect them to
alter their habits. When, however, the
habit is the result of either shyness,
nervousness or ineIperience, it can, and
really ought to be fought against and
overcome.
A fusSy woman can never really be
called well-mannered one. she has no
repose, no dignity, none of that we'll
bred calmness which is so admirable in
woman, none of that gracious, friendly
courtesy that so speedily sets strangers
at ease. Good-natured, and DESTROYS to
please and give pleasure, anxious to do
her duty as wife, mother and mistress,
she is yet rarely successful, for fussy
woman is seldom an observant one,
being always too busy to see whether
those around her are pleased or annoyed
until at last they speak out pfainly.-Mc-
Calls Magazine.
