BUILDING AN OPEN FIRE.
Mistakes People Make and Two Ways
Considered to Lead to Success In
This Difficult Matter.

The ordinary way of building an
open fire is not the best way: that Il
putting kindling and paper under two
logs and lighting from below, because
the paper and kindling, when light
ed, only char the log, which smolders
and goes olt. There are two good
ways to make q fire. First. take .
log and place it at the back OF the
fireplace. Then take four or five
pieces of kindling wood and lean them
upright against it in tent shape
Put q little paper under the kindliDg.
which must be close enough together
to catch, but not close enough to
smother. For the second way, take
two logs and lay them on thick bed
of ashes near together. Don't put
them ON the ancirons. for then the
cinders will fall through and will moi
heat the logs. On top lay q few pieces
of kindling, allowing plenty of air be
tween the pieces. Then If you hav'
any light twigs. gut them on top o
the kindling wood, and on top OF al
put the paper. This fire burns al
most without any smoke. for the pa
per burns down till it lights the twigs

is putting too much paper on the iirt

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVEE
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How n Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretchcd for
Many Years.

The immediate causes OF headaches
vary, but most Of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In armmia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way In
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
tho nerves and produces pain. In rheu
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deader
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pill

blood and the pain disappears perma
nently. Women in particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head

When the former died she authorized Walter to
collect the $4,000 insurance on his life, and asked
him to retain it for safe keeping. From time to
time, she says, she drew on the money until only
$110O remained with Walter. Two months ago
