Nowadays scientists believe that In
cleanliness lies the secret Of proven

To prevent a disease, remove the

Just as unclean habits breed many
diseases, so careless habits Will breed
dandruff. Improper use of another's
brushes, combs, etc, will surely
cause dandruff, and, in time, will just

HOW TO MAKE
THE BEST REMEDY
Fine Recipe for Rheumatism
and Kidney Trouble-Gives
Prompt Relief and Doesn't
Cost Very Much.
YOU FIX THIS UP YOURSELF

A large health publication tells its
readers of number of simple and
safe prescriptions that can be made
at home. The following, however, for
the cure of rheumatism and kidney
and bladder troubles receives the
greatest praise, viz, Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce: Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla. three ounces.
These simple, harmless ingredients
can be obtained at any good prescrin
ton pharmacy at little cost and are
mixed by shaking well in a bottle.
The dose for adults is a teaspoons
full after each meal and at bedtime,
drinking a full tumblerful of water,
after each dose. II is further stated
that this prescription is a positive
remedy for kidney trouble and lame
back. weak bladder and urinary diff
ficulties, especially Of the elderly PEG,
pie. and one Of the best things to be
used in rheumatic Affections, reliey.
ing the aches and pains and reducing
swellings in just a short while.
A wen known local druggist states
that this mixture acts directly upon
the ellminatiye tissues Of the kidneys;
cleanses these spongelike organs and
gives them power to sift and strain
the poisonous waste matter and uric
acid from the blood which is the
cause Of rheumatism.
Cut this out and hand to some suf-
ferer which would certainly be an
act Of humanity.

her ideal, Nora frees herself from
the marital yoke in a declaration of
independence, as startling a piece of
writing as has been done in cent
ury.
Helmer, the husband, fails TO grasp
the magnitude of the sacrifice of
which Nora is capable, and in his linn
its. lies Ibsen's opportunity for the
adornment of the play.
To save his health and to obtain
money to do this, Nora FORCES her
fathers name TO note which turns
up in the hands of an INSCRIPTIONS
man. The note proves Nora's undo
ing, as she had hidden the knowledge
of It from her husband, the man she
sought to benefit. when her act has
been made clear to him, he casts her
OF. only to take her back in his favor
when the danger of exposure had
passed.
But when her husband declined to
assume the responsibility for the sig
nature as Nora had expected him TO
do, she realized his limits. saw clear
ly his selfish nature and in a stormy
scene declared herself free. The
miracle. as she so termed her hus
bands expected act of responsibility
did not take place and in her disap-
pointment in the man gave him up
as well as her children.
In this scene. Miss Corcoran tri-
umphs. Her doll like nature sloughs
of as she stands revealed as the wo-
man who has learned, as the woman
who dares the unconventional. The
critics are unit in declaring that
Miss Corcoran as Nora, has set a
higher mark than any living actress.

There's a Buster Brown nrawine

that's all, too. Just one moment,
though. Come to think of IL, one OF
them wears a pomeframate in her
left hand And there is an original
drawing presented by some dear
friend whose name Miss Russell can
not now remember.
No Diamonds for Auction.
To forestall any disappointment, II
may as well be said right here that
the Tiffany glassware part of the ex.
hibit includes no diamonds. Their,
are no diamonds whatever in the
entire lot. But there are four cuspi.
dors-a Doulton, a blue and white
Nankin. and two Rookwoods. Not a
spittoon in the bunch. The catalogue
does not mention the names of the
donors, but Miss Russell has admir-
ers in Kentucky as well as in every
other state in the union who realize
that no family should be without a
cuspidor.
Persons Interested in Miss Rus.
sells intellectual development will
pass rapidly from the cuspidor de-
partment to take notice of two an
tique bronze Buddhas. They are nice
little Buddhas, indeed. and are re-
garded as considerably more valua-

bly, not so rare.

Dublin Castle.

The name of Dublin Castle, the
scene of the raid on the jewels of the
Order of st. Patrick, is more formid-
able than its appearance. When 1t
was built in the thirteenth century
it was, doubtless, with its four great
towers and its deep moat, thing Of
beauty compared with the present
miscellaneous weller of buildings
gathered around two ugly squares
Supposed to have been begun by a
grandson of Henry /, Meyler Fitz-
Henry, 1t was completed by Henry De
Loundres in 1928. In those days
the days of it's life as a real castle
defending city-a river ran past the
building. The Poodle still runs, but
it keeps its obscure course under the
pavements of the Lower Castle Yard.
1t was not until we'll into the reign
OF Elizabeth that the castle was first
used as the official residence of the
Lord Lieutenant, then described as
the Lord Deputy" Although it has
ever since retained that exalted func-
ton, Dublin Castle was so neglected
about two centuries ago as to need
rebuilding. Very little of the orig
inal structure remains.-Dundee Ad'
vertiser.
