that girl likes some liberty, a
clean cosy room an da fair amount
of tolerance towards mistakes not
too often repeated, and she will find
that the maid problem is not so much
of problem after all.
Il cannot drop the subject Of
housework with saying a word for
domestic science, or the art Of cook
cry. Domestic science is not a bad
term, for cookery really has been re-
duced to a science. In our classes are
all kinds of girls. and a few come in
their automobiles. 1t is a good sign,
don't you think?
"a strange thing about this branch
is that SO per cent of the members
of these classes have married soon
after completing the course. Now,
one of the two things is true: Either
men are looking for mates who can
cook, or else these girls are already
engaged when they came here, and,
not being able to cook, came here to
learn how.
in either case the men did not
suffer, for the girls have to eat their
own dishes here. The proof of the
pudding Is the eating thereof"

Milton, was hanged at 1920 this
morning and died game. He chat
ted with the warden before going
to the scaffold.
He said he was glad to die as he
had been bad man all his life and
he wanted to see what the other
world was like.
He had glass Of whisky and
asked for a cigarette, which he
smoked while he aided the jailor in
adjusting the straps.
When he left the cell he still
smoked the cigarette. He hoped
up the steps of the scaffold and
stepped on to the trap, at the same
time waving the reading of the
death warrant.
When the black cap was put oven
his head he spit the cigarette from
his mouth.
ONeil was hanged for numbering

l willingly make this liberal offer
because DR.. Shops Restorative is
not an ordinary stomach remedy. 1t
does not. indeed, treat the stomach
itself. 1t goes beyond-it treats the

and break down, and CAUSE stomach
trouble. For stomach trouble Is
really only a symptom that there Is
serious nerve trouble inside. That is
why ordinary remedies fail. That is
why my remedy succeeds. That Is
why 1 can afford to make this offer.
Yet do not misunderstood me when
j say nerves" l do not mean the
nerves you ordinarily think about. 1
mean the automatic stomach nerves
over which your mind has no control.

TO you how the nerves control the

make these points clear. But this
much Is certain-ailing nerves cause
