Clears the Complexion.

Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup stimulates
the liver and thoroughly cleanses the
system and clears the complexion of
pimples and blotches. It is the best
laxative for women and children as it is
mild and pleasant, and does not grippe
or sicken. Orino is much superior to
pills, aperient waters and all ordinary
cathartics as it does not irritate the stom-
ach and bowels. For sale by Kaufman
Drug Co.

"There ean be no real society where compliment is unknown. 1 once spent summer in the country in the very New Englandcst part of New England, and 1 was frantic at the sharp corners of the talk If I were bit pale they said, Are you sick?' like savages. If 1 looked in the least fetching l caught them watching me by stealth and turn ing criminally away if l detected it. To mention my praises in moments of becoming hats or new coiffures would have been breach of etiquette, and 1t was point of honor not to appear to notice a new gown. Heavens. l had three minds to come back to town and wear my rose chiffon in Broadway car for the sheer joy of being openly admired There is only one thing more III bred than staring at q pretty woman - that is not noticing her. There is only one thing better than be ing admired, and that is being told so Don't tell me that man who loves a woman cannot compliment her. If he couldn't society would dissolve. And 1t would be the mans fault."-Zona Gale in Woman's Home Companion.
