Bedroom punishments for children
are extremely bad and the shutting up
of little ones in darkened rooms and
cupboards absolutely wicked. This has
been known to be the cause of much
unhappiness in after life. The telling
of alarming stories by ignorant nurse
maids, too, cannot be too sternly and
promptly checked. II we wish our
young children To go to bed happy
when night comes, we should carefully
guard against any bad impressions be-
ing connected with that time There is
no doubt that the child who sings her
self to sleep at night is the one whose
nights rest will be most beneficial and
whose mental powers will increase
properly with the rest Of her body

In housekeeping always include the
cellar turning off all registers careful
ly. Then attack the corners and use
lime and lump charcoal freely, par
ticuarly if there should be any sus-
picion of dampness. The walls should
be whitewashed twice year. and all
cellars should have cement floors.
Hanging shelves should be used for all
stored articles, so that the floor may
be easily swept every week. Never pile
wood on the floor, but on raised boards,
so that centipeds and spiders may not
collect underneath. The condition of n
cellar is always test of good house
keeping, besides being an all important
factor in the health of the family. If
the cellar and bathroom are always in
good order, the other rooms are not apt
to be much "out of the way"

Tobn Hunter, of Orient street, Chico,
pntte Co., Calf, was blind and help
,oss naralytic, who had lost even the
,,ower of speech. In the spring of last
year he was pronounced incurable, but
now he can see, talk, walk and work.
IN the San Francisco Examiner repre-
sentative he said:
nAbout four years ago was suddenly
strickdn with paralysis. lost all sense

Gave me every care and attention posi-
HE but all his prescriptions during two
wears were powerless to alleviate my suf-
ferings or in any way afford the slight
est relief.
after being virtually given up as q
dead man by friends and physicians, and
resigning myself to my apparent fate, I
determined to try Dr. Williams Pink
pills for Pale People. l mentioned it
TO nv doctor and he not only gave his
consent to my trying DIR. Williams Pink
pills but strongly advised my doing SO.
From blind, helpless paralytic, un-
able to move and so broken down and
hopeless that life was a burden, can
now walk, do any odd jobs about the
place go down town, and-most wonder
full of all-can see. And owe it all to
DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Improvement began while was TAX
ing the second box. I continued taking
the pills and from that time ON it was
gradual but sure. My awful stomach
troubles have disappeared, my eyesight
has been restored, my brain is clear
and active, and if ever man should
be grateful and anxious that others
should know the wonderful properties
of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, that man is
myself"

known and is vouched for by all who
know him, including Mayor o. L. Clark,

friends the decision was finally given
in favor of the Countess of Warwick.
