MY husband brought my supper to
my bedside with a nice cup of hot cot

A pretty, blond young woman
caused considerable excitement at a
dinner party given recently by show
ing off her engagement present from
her fiance.
We did not like the old-fashioned
idea of giving rings, - she calmly an

sentimental girls present, SO each of
us had gold bust of our head and
shoulders made. which we presented
to each other Harold wears his as

bride passed around the chiseled fea-

There was something of thrill Of
disapproval at the sight of the bust
and some criticism at this bold display
of the features of the lover

OF all the diseases known, with

the weary patient seldom survives.

fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-

entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney

Mary, Mary of the Ships,
Excellent Couch Medicine.

The following recipe for cough medi-
cine comes from a New England
housewife living at Kennebunkport,
Me, and was handed down to her from
an old-time sea captain, who consid
cred it valuable: Blend one ounce of
SIENNA, one ounce of whole fiaxseed,
one ounce of crushed licorice and half
an ounce of anise seed and cook in
boiling water (about three or four
pints) until reduced to quart. This
housewife always uses an iron kettle
to boil the mixture in. Strain, add one
cupful of molasses and boil few min
utes longer. Then cool and when cold
add little whisky or alcohol, to pre-
vent fermentation. Keep the medi-
cine in alright bottles. Use tea
spoonful or two when needed. This
is really an effective remedy for the
severe hacking colds and coughs that
are contracted in winter.
