woman; that is all"
"Man's woman. A mans woman! l
hear that phrase all the time. What
does it mean?"
Not anything devilish, my dear, al
though l can see a look of virtuous
aloofness in your eye. The mans wom-
an is simply possessed of qualities not
found in the average. Being broad
minded, she takes what is known as
the mans point of view and this deli

Different Ways of Resting.

should lie down every afternoon and
relax, taking an hours interval of en-
tire repose, not even thinking of any
thing that taxes her, and thus repairing
the waste places of her life after a
busy morning. This Is my theory,
firmly held and warmly recommended
to you. Let me whisper, in strict con
fidence, that this is not a thing | ever

possibilities. and the mere suggestion

Chintz Lined China Closets.

A collector of old and rare china orig
mated a most attractive way of show
ing off her treasures. She had made
for her dining room two quartered gold
en- oak china closets of colonial de-
sign, with four shelves. She covered
the walls of the closets and the shelves
with glazed Powered chintz of rather
snowy pattern. She tried to pick out
plates and other pieces of china with a
flower design. China closets could also
be lined with brocade or ven denim.
but the mes lined with pretty lowered
chintZ seem to be the most attractive.
China shelves bordered with chintz and

wife you'd maker is but a step"
But Miss Primly was busy with a
pencil making notes as fast as she
could.
The next time a man called the fam
lily was cut out entirely; the big red
lamp in the library worked overtime;
a dish of bonbons stood beneath the
lamp; a box of cigarettes was left there
by accident. BY and by coon songs
floated out on the desecrated air which
had never vibrated to anything less Sc
rious than Brahms and Chopin. In the
rosy glow Miss Primly. fiutily attired,
looked soulfully into the eyes of a big
man almost too comfortably ensconced
In an easy chair.
Strange to say. within the year Miss

Virtue is not to be measured by os-
tentatious giving. There is frequently
more real love for humanity in the soul
of the man who removes the banana
skin from the pavement than in the
heart Of the donor of the memorial
window in the church. PolitenCss. like
all other faults and virtues, may be
come habitual. 1t is surprising how
many small acts of kindness, how
many little deeds of %helpfulness, one
may do in the course of a day when
there are inclination to be kind and Il
lookout kept for the opportunity. One
may set out with this intention in the
morning, and the footing up at night
not to others, but to ones own secret
conscience-will be cheering and en-

May the Lord bless you. And increase your store, And put il in your heart To Dive us m0re.

The above few lines were expounded to us few days ago by one of our customers who hasn't had any tea or coffee at her home in over 23 years only the kind we sell. and she's as hale, hearty and healthy as when she first purchased from us. Well, 1t struck us so favorably that we imme- diately purchased one lot of 14-quart covered bread raisers and while they last we will give one with each pound of our warranted good Baking Powder, 45 cents per pound; they are worth more than you pay for the Baking Powder, therefore they are a bargain Say. the cold weather is just about to set in, and remember, you should never start out to your daily toll without hay ing a bracer in the morning. and we don't know anyone who sells as good coffee as we do. And coffee Is the right kind and only good bracer. Now if you think we are talking through our hat just buy a pound of coffee at our store and pay us the same price you pay the other fellow and give us one weeks trial and see how much better you'll feel. We also wish to say if there are any people who have not given our tea. coffee and butter trial they should do so just to see for themselves what a difference there is in the quality we sell and what others sell Our butter is 9 cents per pound and it's the quality that's sold else where for 30 cents. Remember. we sell fresh buttermilk by the quart or glass the whole year round.

of explanation. The one is the rapli.ty
with which the wine cXhilarateS not
withstandng the small proportion oi
alcohol it contains. This is due to the
carbonic acid gas evolved, which Is in
hailed while drinking. for it is the prop
erty of this gas to expedite the action
of anything with which it is associated
1t is estimated that one glass OF cham
pagne is equal in effect 10 two glasses
of still wine of the same strength and
is more rapid in action. The other pc
cuiarity is the sort Of lethargy or
deadness which follows after excessive
champagne drinking. This is analogous
to the stupor produced by carbonic acid
gas, but il is assisted and intensifed
by the excess OF sugar deranging the
stomach. The undigested sugar turns
into acid, and thus 1t is that too much
