Because the liver is neglected people suffer

2 'S~saA BNOBiC with constipation, biliousness, k headaches and levers. Colds attack the lungs and contagious diseases take hold of the system. It Is safe to say that if the liver were always kept in proper working order, illness would be almost unknown.
 Thedford's Black-Draught is SO successful in curing such sickness because 1t IS without a rival as a liver regulator. This great family medicine Is not a strong and drastic drug, but a mild and healthful laxative that cures con stipation and may be taken by a mere child without X possible harm.
 The healthful action on the liver cures biliousness. It has an in- vigorating effect on the kidneys. Because the liver and kidneys do not work regularly, the poisonous acids along with the waste from the bowels get back into the blood and yirulent contagion results.
 Timely treatment with Thed- ford 5 Black-Draught removes the dangers which turk in constipation, liver and kidney troubles, and will positively forestall the inroads of Bright's disease, for which dis ease in advanced stages there is no cure. Ask your dealer for a 25c. package of Thedford's 8 Black Draught.

- NE of the charming revivals of
the day in woman's work is that
of bead weaving. Little hand
looms are again set up. and mod
ern maidens are rivaling Pencil
ope in the skillful art of weaving ex-
quisite articles fashioned from fasci-
mating bits of glass. Beadworking is,
perhaps. one of the oldest of the deco
rative crafts. Those who are learned
in such matters tell US that more than
1890 years before the Christian era
beads of vitreous paste-that is to say
Of a rough semiopaque glassware
made in Egypt and that even before
then beads of pierced and coIored
stones were in general use.
All countries have contributed de-
signs from the orient. where color
reigns supreme. to our own plains
where the patient Indian women told
their life story in woven beads as well
as in blankets and baskets.
Our own foremothers for many gen
erations were adopts in this art, and
beautiful articles of beadwork now ex-
tant we owe to their indefatigable FIN
gers. 1t seems to have been ''genteel"
occupation for young ladies in Thack-
eray's time, and we all remember that
the obstreperous Becky Sharp was
making a green purse when introduced
to her victim, Jos Sedley. Well, the fad
has broken out anew. and the modern
should rival even the older bead pro-
auctions, as we have not alone the ad-
vantage of their experience, but better
materials to work upon.
English and American beads have
never been good in quality. They have
always lacked the fine coloring and ex-
quisite transparency of those coming
from Bohemia; consequently all the
best beads used at the present time are
imported.
There are a number of different ways
in which beads may be worked into
objects of use and beauty. When made
up into fobs. chains. etc, they are
strung on wire or violin strings OF
strong silk thread. In other instances
the beads are knitted with knitting silk
