INEXPENSIVE FURNITURE.
A Suggestion For Beautifying the
Cottage In the Country.

"Why not go to the secondhand
shop?' ventured the wise woman.
"Oh, l haven't much money to spend.
l simply can't afford any furniture at
all. | don't know what l shall do for
our little country cottage"
Il didn't mean to have you buy an
tique colonial mahogany, my dear, but
do you realize that one can pick up
old chairs for so small a price as 81
apiece?
"Well, let me give you a hint. Buy
some cretonne at % cents a yard and
some gilt tacks and recover them your
self. It's the easiest thing in the
world. once you try. OF course. the

tufted chairs are a little harder to do,
but those with plain seats and backs
can be done in three-quarters of an
hour. You don't have to rip a thing
just tack the new pieces On over the
faded old ones."
Her friend tool her advice, and the
picture shows the attractive result.
The woodwork of this particular room
was white and the cretonne in old rose
and yellow fgurings. The pictures on
the wall are merely attractive prints,
most inexpensively framed.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful Il Is In
PRESERVING Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disisfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
ga ses and impurities always present in
tire stomach and intestines and carries
thcm out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetents the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
tons and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectnally clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
ri absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in st,1art's Charcoal Lozenges; they
.ra composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather In
the form of large pleasant tasting loz-
enges. the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
THE daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is, that no possible
harm can result from their continued
nse but on the contrary, great benefit.
Buffalo physician In speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: Il adj
wise stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all
natients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat: I also believe the liver is great

arts Charcoal Lozenges than in any OF
