REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
New York Press,

A girl has a peculiar habit OF being
very fond OF a fellow when no others are
around.
A woman thinks she would have q
much better figure il she didn't have
such dainty feet.
A woman has such lively imagina-
tion that she thinks going to a charity
fair that has patronesses is being in So
ciety.
II makes nice girl awful indignant
to smile at man she doesn't know.
The only way to make your cigars
taste better ia to pay more for them.
What does woman who paints her
face do when she pretends she wants to
blush?
The damages OF breach OF promise
case are never as heavy as If you had
married her.
The reason misery loves company is
so as to be able to tell about it.
Men value character, women reputs-
ton.

Coughs ma
t11re's warn
ing signals

They tell you to do something for
the relief of the suffering membranes
and aching tissues, or something Will
do you. Inflamed membranes, 1rrita-
ted and swollen glands, stiff necks'
clogged bronchial tubes, pains In the
chest, sore lungs, disgusting .spittle,
nasal disorders and difficult breathing
are but few of the first symptoms OF
common colds. AS the disease pro-
crosses the appetite goes, the blood
thins and flesh fades away. Linon1ne
will cure colds at any stage. 1t not
only loosens the tightness and breaks
up the cold, but it builds up the body
and puts new blood into the veins.
People with throat and lung trou-
bles are notoriously adverse to fatty
foods. The difficulty Of digesting fats
in their solid form, such as ordinarily
found in beef and other animal tissue,
is no doubt the cause OF this aversion.
But fats are essential to health.
Waste must be prevented and animal
heat furnished. Linonine supplies
the waste of adipose tissues which is
lost in such diseases as colds, hronchi-
tbs, la grippe, scrofula, fevers, etc,
furnishing the oil from flax which Is
rich in albumen and fat. It is especi-
ally recommended In these diseases
because of the ease with which it is
digested and the entire absence of dis
agreeable after-tastes. Linonine is
quickly and thoroughly absorbed into
the blood, facilitates the digestion,
regulates the bowels, and promotes
the appetite. 1t is of SURPRISING bene-
fit as builder and is agreeable to eV-
cry function, because OF it's great Diff
fusive power and certain absorption.

The ideal gift is one that always
pleases and always brings the giver to
mind. For q man, these essential Is
are found in the things men wear or
use-things which come into intimate,
personal touch through use or wear.
The list is q long one, and comprises
all the essentials .of dress, beginning
with neckwear; OF home comforts,
from house coat to slippers; OF outdoor
comfort, from umbrella and raincoat
to stout shoes and rubbers and OF
practical gifts like outer clothing
These things are found at their best
in q man s store. fact which explains
the thronging of Meigs & Co. s big
store these days with women shoppers
in search of gifts for men. Never be-
fore has the big store displayed such
exhaustive or SO varied stocks of holi-
day gift goods, and the crowds to be
seen in the store daily are evidence
that the women know where to buy
the best gifts for men. The boys sec
uion is full OF suggestions of good gifts
in the shape OF suits, overcoats, reef
ers, gubber boots, caps and such things.
Many q boy will be the happier
Christmas morning for the package
that halls from Meigs & Co. g big
