The woman who Is planning to fur
hish a suiniser home ought fully to
bear in mind the merits Of cretonne.
1t is cheap. attractive in coloring
and, above all. cool looking. Nothing
can be prettier for a bedroom, for In

holstered In pink and white cretonne
bearing rose pattern The bed.

are OF white enamel. Very often the
walls are hung with cretonne instead
OF paper. There is a new idea. too.
which consists in making panciing Of
plain colored cretonne on figured walls.
and vice versa. These panelings are
inclosed with strips of moldlng after
the fashion of tapestry.
But II is not only In the boudoir that
one finds cretonne popular. II inyades
even the drawing room of the summer
home. and the iatest-the very latest
thing Is the cretonne covered piano.
This. OF course. has the regulation
wooden frame, bat In addition there is
a cunningly fitted slip OF the same
dainty material that covers the res; Of
the furniture. Rooms done in blue
and white material are considered very
swaggcr this season. especially when
combined with pale yellow or white
woodwork.

ed from w. II. Hazard ten acres OF
land surrounding the well of the Atlas

for this purpose. The temperature of
the water as Ii comes from the ground

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

and out of health how many meals he or
she eats day. and the chances are that
the answer will be mot over two and l
don't feel hungry then" The plump,
rosy, and robust eat three square meals
daily, and their perfect health is due to
a strong stomach and digestive system,
as such system takes out of the food
all those elements that make pure blood,
and give nourishment and vitality to
the body.
The one appetizer and tonic that
should be taken is Mi-o-na, the only

them in such perfect working order that
they will digest easily and naturally all the
food that is eaten, and send you to the
