Two Valuable Recipes
One Cures a Cold Quickly

PimpIes and Blotches-Dr E. E.
Walker, writing in the Ladies' Home
Journal. states that facial blemishes
come mostly from improper bowel ac-
tion. First of all. the cause must be
removed by the use of the cathartics
and laXatives that the individual has
found effective and applying lotion
from the following formula: Pre-
cipitate of sulphur, one dram: tine
ture of campbor. one dram; rose
water. four ounces: apply several
times a day.
To Cure Cold In "a Hours or any
cough that is durable. tioyto any good
prescription druggist and get Concen-
trated oil of pine. one-half ounce: gly-
cerine, two ounces; half pint of good
whiskey; mix and shake thoroughly;
use in tablespoon doses every four
hours. This formula is given out by
the great lung and throat specialist of
Philadelphia, and he declares that it
has no equal, but warns people against
using the ordinary bulk oils of pine
and patent medicines sold under the
name of .Oil of Pine" These contain
much resin and other impurities
and are sure TO produce nausea and
kidney disorders. The real Concen-
trated oil of pine comes put up for
medicinal use only in small half-ounce
bottles inclosed in q round screwtop
case and sealed This is to protect
it from light heat and atmospheric
changes.

the examination of Senator Plat and
his attorneys and experts with leave

Should the plaintiff refuse to comply
with the order she is directed to show
cause on Nov, in the supreme court
| why she should not do so. The order
| to show cause must be served upon
! the plaintiff by tomorrow.
