WHEN BABY cREEPs AROUND

Hosiery to Make Stockings

All mothers know nov difficult 1t is
to keep babies in stockings during the
creeping period. One day of explora-
lions on the part of healthy baby
will usually show perforated knees,
and with the price for children's stock
ings almost or quite as much as for
adults, one needs long purse to keep
the supply equal to the demand

cHEAPNEss SPELLS WASTE.
Buying Cheap Clothes Is the Kind Of
Economy Which Only Fool
ish Women Practice.

There is no economy in buying cheap
material or in having poor but cheap
dressmaker make your gown. II there
Is only certain amount of money for
clothes, far better have one good gown.
we'll made, than three which will fade,
get out of shape, and lose their beauty
In half dozen wearings. A tailor suit
which is well made and of material
which will not only wear well, but
which is of soft, pretty shade which
is not conspicuous, will give the wear
er more real enjoyment and keep her
looking trim and neat more than any
other sort of costume. There are
many women who think that the fussi-
ness of gown tells the story OF the
money spent better than the natty
tailor suit. These women spend their
little all on the accessories, leaving but
little to buy the foundation and pay
the dressmaker. The material is cheap
but showy-two of the worst features
in . gown for a woman in moderate
circumstances. Combined with this
are the effort of poor tailor, and
after three or four times wearing, par
ticularly If the gown is worn in damp
weather, it has the appearance of be-
ing ready for the rag bag, and no
brushing or pulling will help it. Then
the snowy material and elaborate
trimming call attention to 1t every
time 1t is worn, whereas it might. ut
least, have been less conspicuous.
A woman frequently has to wear the
same suit more than one season, and
again that snowy material tells a
story, but this time 1t faunts itself
before all as second season costume.
All who saw it last year remember 1t.
and comment on the fact that Mrs.
Brown is wearing that same tailor suit
with the green and red trimmings and
brass braid.
Moreover. says the Cincinnati Com
mercial, there is an art in dressing to
suit the time The business woman
who understands the art eschews all
frills and furbelows, and above all any
display of jewelry during business
hours Her costume is such that she
always looks neat but never calls at
tention to herself The woman who
simply shops must also watch her
clothing. She may be granted more
liberties than her business sister, but
there is ample opportunity for dis
play of bad taste and there Is lots yet
to be learned by the majority Of wom-
en- who shop.

From Napier New Zealand, Herald ::
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of
New South Wales, Australia had an
analysis made OF all the cough medi-
cines that were sold in that market.
Out Of the entire list they found only
one that they declared was entirely free
from all poisons. This exception was
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, made
by the Chamberlain Medicine Com
pany, Des Moines, Iowa, U. S. A. The
absence Of all narcotics makes this
remedy the safest and best that can be
had; and it is with feeling OF security
that any mother can give it to her little
ones. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
especially recommended by its makers
for coughs. colds, Group and whooping
cough. This remedy is for sale by O.
