GOOD FOR CHILDREN.

The pleasant to take and harmless One
Minute Cough Cure gives immediate re-
lief in all cases of Cough, Group and
Grippe because 1t does not pass i'm
mediately into the stomach, but takes
effect right at the seat of the trouble.
1t draws out the inflammation, heals and
soothes and cures permanently by ena-
bling the lungs to contribute pure life
giving and life-sustaining oxygen to the
blood and tissues. DR.. Armstrong of
Della, Tex, prescribes 1t daily and says
there is no better cough remedy made.

Christmas Shirt Waists.
You CAN SELECT SOMETHING SUITABLE
FOR EVERY FRIEND OF YOUR Ac-
QUAINTANCE AND FOR ALL AGES
FROM EIGHT TO EIGHTY. WASH
WAISTS WILL BE WORN.

A shirt waist makes the most accepta-
BILE of all Christmas presents, and for
several reasons. First, 1t is thing
which ia always needed; second, 1t
shows direct personal thoughtfulness,
and third, it Is the fad to give shirt
waist for a holiday gift.
Beyond this there is a something
about the new waists which affords an
opportunity for a personal touch, q
chance to embroider, to Cross stitch, to
fagot, to decorate in some way which
will give the waist an individuality
which is very flattering to the one who
receives it.
While the silk waist, the waist of taf-
feta, the peau de sole, the ombre silk
and the crepe de chine, and all the other
fancy evening fabrics are dainty and de-
sirable in every way, still it must be told
that, after all, it is the wash waist which
holds first place in popularity. And for
a Christmas gift this is particularly true.
The wash waist, while it may be very
inexpensive and usually is at this time
of year, can also be cOstlyi and to say
that you have purchased tubbable win
ter waist is not to argue that you have
bought it cheap, on the bargain counter.
The new cotton waists, far from being
inexpensive, are positively high in price,
and some of them are as dear as velvet,
while great many make taffeta seem
like thirty cents in matter of cost.
These very expensive cotton waists are
in cheviot, in cotton canvas, and in very
thick weight and are as warm as wool.
Many are, to use colloquialism, 'as
heavy as board"
The great virtue of these waists is that
they will wash. Made of stuff that will
not shrink nor fade, and which will not
lose its texture in the tub, they can be
cast into the water every week and scrub
bed with abandon. On being taken out
they are pressed and when the process is
completed they look, if not like new, at
least very nearly as good.
