The Root of All Evil.

Is not money, but disease, and the root
of disease is a rundown condition.
DIR. Parker's Tonetic Tablets 60 to the
root of the trouble by building you up
from the inside nerves to the skin.
A run down condition, an emaciated
body, a worn-out digestion, shattered
nerves, sleepless nights, aching limbs and
head and back, loss ofappetite--these are
the symptoms of a debilitated constitu-
ton, and if not corrected in time will
surely result in something very serious,
for disease is health disregarded. DR..
Parker's Tonetic Tablets is package
containing two valuable medicines, DR..
Parker's Liveroid Tablets and DR.. Park
er's Tonetic Tablets. The Liveroid Tab
lets stimulate and purify the liver and
bowels, and cleanse them of any stagnant
accumulations. They prepare the system
for the Tonetic Tablets. The Tonetic
Tablets make the blood rich and pure,
and thus drive away anaemia, pale and
sallow skin, boils, pimples and other hui
mors. They strengthen and nourish the
nerves, and upon the nerves depends the
vigor of all the vital organs. They give
an appetite for food, and good digestion
so that the food nourishes. They make
new blood, new tissue, new force. Thus
the whole body is built up, renewed. The
weight goes up, the glow of health re-
turns, the vital organs become vigorous,
the brain becomes clear. Health, per-
feet health, waits on you in this product
of the Goth century.

and Liveroid Tablets, at soc. box, o

How to Wash Silk.

Colored silk should never be soaped,
but washed and ironed as expeditiously
as possible, to prevent the color going.
Squeeze it into warm soap lather mot
hot, until clean, rinse in warm and then
in cold water. To the latter add one
tablespoonful of salt and the same of
vinegar. This is done to preserve the
color. Squeeze out tightly, fold evenly
and roll in clean cloth; beat well be-
tween the hands. Iron at once with
moderately hot iron under muslin until
nearly dry. Finish without the muslin.
White silk must be stepped in borax
water and then washed in the same way
as colored silk, except that in the last
rinsing water a large teaspoonful of
methylated spirit is put to each pint of
water, instead of salt and vinegar. The
methylated spirit imparts gloss to the
silk, and, should it be liked slightly stiff,
put one teaspoonful of prepared gum
water to each half pint of rinsing water.
To make gum water, allow one ounce of
best gum arabic, pour over half pint of
boiling water; stir over fire until thor
oughly dissolved, strain through muslin,
bottle and use.
Two things must be noted: First, if
any soap is left in the fabric, it will be
hard instead of soft, like new. There
fore careful rinsing is imperative. Sec
ondly, if too hot an iron is used, the silk
will become shriveled and stick to the
iron.

Do not leave your spoon in your tea
cup.
Crack the topof your egg instead OF
peeling it. If you have bacon or fish have
a separate plate for your bread or toast
and butter, but not when having only
boiled eggs, which require very careful
eating, by the bye, as nothing offends
the eye more than t. see yolk OF egg
spilled all over the plate and egg cup.
Do not sip your tea and coffee with a
spoon.
Do not drain the cup. For fish, do
not use dessert knife instead of the fish
knife. If there be no fish knife use a
small crust of your bread, but leave that
crust of bread on your plate. Do not eat
it afterwards as so many people do.
Do not be dainty and fringe your plate
with bits of meat. Eat what you can
and put any skin or bone on the edge OF
your plate in one little heap, which move
down from the edge when you have
finished. Do not crumple up your table
napkin. If you are only guest for the
day do not fold it up, but if you are stay
ing on, and in quiet household, fold 1t
up.
If you are staying in big house where
everything is done en- grande prince, do
not fold it up. Just place it on the table
when you leave, as in rich establishments
there are clean table napkins every meal.
After eating it is we'll before you drink
to wipe your lips, otherwise you leave a
smeary mark on the glass. Do not gulp
liquids and bolt foods. Do not masticate
80, oph;hly no mot cru m hla the
bread by your side or drain your glass to
the last drop.
Do not sop bread in your gravy or
break it in tea, coffee or soup. Do not
pile your plate with food, or grasp your
knife, fork or spoon as if it were a
weapon of warfare.-Ex.

Children Like COMPANY.

No child can be expected to thrive and
to possess that buoyancy of spirit SO
truly essential to youth unless it has the
companionship of others of its own age.
We invariably find that the girl who is
brought up alone, who is forbidden to
play with other children, is narrow
minded, suspicious of others and alto
gether decidedly disagreeable little
person to meet. Companionship rubh
the angles off the Juvenile mind, eacs
child finds its own level and the quar-
rels $50 deeply deplored by their elders)
all serve to fit them for the battle of life.
Children, like ourselves, must inter-
change thoughts and opinions with
others, and to see little boy or girl
playing alone and in silence is to me a
dreary sight. At the same time large
amount of discretion is required on the
part of the parents regarding the class
of companions with whom their children
play. A little unsupported supervision
will soon enable you to discover the
right sort and to weed out the undesira-
BILE ones.-McCall' Magazine.

Young Wives Should Remember.

That necessities should be selected be-
fore decorative articles of furniture.
That it is not wise to provide too many
pots, kettles, and pans when furnishing
kitchen.
That it is always decidedly cheaper in
the end to buy only good carpets and
good furniture.
That, no matter how tiny the income,
small sum should be put aside regular
ly for the proverbial rainy day.
That simple dinner, we'll served, is
decidedly more enjoyable than an
elaborate dinner poorly served.
That practical knowledge of ''econo-
my or good cookery" will be absolutely
necessary for the young housewife, no
matter how much "help" she can afford
to keep.
That all bills for marketing should be
paid weekly-or, better still, when the
articles are bought.
That with care and economy a small
amount of money will do wonders.
That it is important to be systematic
in looking after the left overs.
That all odd vegetables and scraps of
meat may be used in soups and salads
and croquettes, and many appetizing
ways too numerous to mention.
That "where there's will there's a
way" even if the means are limited.
Life is made up of little things. 1t is
but once in an age that occasion is offer
ed for doing great deed. True great
ness consists in being great in little
things.

A List of Dont's Which Women
Should Obey.

Don't forget that the nurses of a
woman's beauty are seven-fresh air,
sunshine, warmth, rest, sleep, food and
whatever stirs the blood, be it exercise
or enthusiasm.
Don't neglect sleep. You can slice;
yourself into good looks. A long nap
and hot bath will make any woman
more attractive, and lift years from her
shoulders.
Don't eat when tired and don't work
when tired. 1t is a mistake to work
when not in fit condition-bad for the
work and worse for you.
Don't miss your "beauty sleep" 1t
is mistake to 60 to bed late at night,
rise at daybreak, and imagine that every
hour taken from sleep is an hour gained.
Don't give unnecessary time to GER
tain established routine of Homework,
when it could be much more rrofitably
spent in rest and recreation.
Don't sit down to a table as soon as
you come in from work, or round of
social duties. Lie down, or sit down for
ten minutes, waiting until you can par
take of your dinner with the physical
machinery rested and refreshed.
Don't battle in hard water. Soften it
with little powdered borax, or hand
full of oatmeal.
Don't battle the face while it is very
warm or very cold.
Don't wash the face when travelling,
unless it is with little alcohol and
water, or little cold cream.
Don't attempt to remove dust with
cold water. Give the face a hot bath
with soap, then rinse thoroughly with
tepid or cold water.
Don't rub the face with too coarse a
towel. Treat it as you would the finest
porcelain, tenderly and delicately.
Don't be afraid of sunshine and fresh
air. They offer you bloom and color.
Don't forget that hearty laughter is
source of relaxation. So are all high
thoughts, as those of hope, beauty, trust
and love.
Don't forget that beauty is power.
There is nothing more potent. 1t is to
woman what capital is to merchant.
Its absence is a misfortune; it's culture
wise and proper.-Eastern Argus.

IYaTs / Pond Pianos.
The Conservatory Expands.

The New England Conservatory of
Music is about to move into its beautiful
new buildings on the Back Bay. This
is the largest school of music in the
world, and its pre-eminence among
American institutions has been conceded
ever since 1t was founded in 1853 by DIR.
Eben Tourjee.
Twenty years ago, when the depart
ment of pianoforte instruction was being
developed, wv Ivers Il Pond pianos
were purchased. Since then, as the con-
servatory has expanded, there have
gradually been acquired 26S Ivers &
Pond pianos. With the expansion in
\ cidental to moving into the new build
ing, the board of directors of the con-
servatory have placed their order for 81
additional Ivers & Pond pianos, making
a total of 299.
Higher tribute to this famous Boston
art product would be hardly possible
than 20 years continued patronage by
this most critical of musical institutions.
