Fresh, Pure Candies

Every candy store claims to sell only
pure candies, but few do.
We do-in our Basement Candy De-
partment Fresh shipments OF freshly
made candies are received daily. Every
candy maker claims that his candies are
pure; chemical analysis puts nine-tenths
OF them to blush The candies that we
sell are among the scant few which have
tested out absolutely pure.
They're nicest-theyre safest-and-
they're inexpensive.
The women of Wilmington are judges
Of quality in candies, and the number Of
well-dressed women that you meet in our
Candy Department puts the seal of Will
mington women's approval upon this new
department.
If YOU are a stranger to this department
a visit here will offer a pleasant way Of
getting acquainted. Why not run in to-
/ -day and have your friends meet you in
this department? It's pleasant place to
wait in.
Candies, all prices from Isc to 81 pound.

It is nonsense to think that soap

Soap. hot water and a complexion

Almond Meat.
Almond meal is very orten used in

almonds. two fluid drams of the oil

Mustard Poultiee.
The commonest error in making a
mustard Doultice is TO use hot water.
Why does mustard work good? on
account of volatile Oil; the same oil
that stings the mouth and the nose
when the condiment is taken too freely
at a meal. This oil is not in the dry
mustard In the dry mustard are two
chemicals. put there by nature, not by
the manufacturer. When the mustard
is wetted with cold water these act
on one another and produce a third
material-the volatile oil. Now, If the
water is hot it quite prevents the for
nation of the oil. so the mustard does
not acquire its most valuable property.
