Etiquette.


Sometimes women are rather pu2-
Zled to know whether II is good
form to invite lei to call, or better
TO have the permission asked.
In reality. II is the woman's place
TO extend the invitation, for the rea-
son that IL the mar asks and she
really does not want him TO call on
her. she is compelled either TO appear
rude or submit 10 having him, willy
nilly.
The matter Is very simple II a man
has been introduced by a mutual frieno
lie can then easily ascertain whether
n visit will be acceptable. and the
woman can easily arrange for him TO
call In company with the friend.
But If "a Ma asks permission TO call
On a girl sne must, to be quite proper,
tell him tina. her mother will be pleas
ed to see han, or that she will be hap
py to have him meet her mother, the
idea being TO convey 10 him the fact
that she Is properly chaperoned and
not a lone and independent young
woman O. course, after a woman is
30 she does not want 10 make herself
ridiculous by saying, for example. that
she will accept an invitation for a con-
cert or the theatre, III mother Is
willing. But a girl Of 20 should al
ways say so.
A lady never accompanies her Wis
itor to the hall door, but bids him
goodnight In the reception room. He
is supposed TO find the way to the
front door and let himself out, unless,
of course. there is some one especially
10 show callers out. A man carries
his and wears the left-hand glove for
short calls.

CONSTIPATION

Is caused primarily by lack of certain
elements in the food which tend to
more or less imperfect digestion, and
10 make the liver sluggish and torpid.
The bowels carry away and dis
charge the fecal matter-that is the re-
fuse matter of the system. II the bow
els are constipated the focal matter
clogs and congests the natural pass
ages the poisonous excretions are re-
tanned in the body. They set back
like a stream damned up, and are alb
sorbed into the system and carried all
over the body in the blood.
That's the reason your head aches,
your tongue is coated, your mouth
tastes like a garbage can, black specks
float about your eyes, and you are gen.
orally unhappy. It's constipation pois-
ching.
California Prune Waters are positive
ly guaranteed to cure the most obstin-
ote case of Constipation, Biliousness,
Torpid Liver or Indigestion. 100

There drifted into town a few days ago

ding court plaster on Aldrich street, with

That seemed trivial cause for sticking
him; but the police had an idea that ne
was something OF a plaster.
The accused asserted that his right
name was Miller. that he belonged in
Lowell, Mass. and had come here TO put
up and repair awnings.
Failing TO give a satisfactory answer 10
numerous inquiries, Judge Rueckert got
back TO the main charge and facetiousy
asked Miller II he repaired awnings with

Miller allowed that he did not and was
