Good Cough Medicine for the
Children.

The season for coughs and colds
is now at hand and too much care
cannot be used to protect the child
rem. A child is much more likely
to contract diphtheria or scarlet
fever when lie has cold. The
quicker you cure his cold the less
the risk. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the sole reliance of
many mothers, and few of those
who have tried it are willing to use
any other. Mrs F. F. starcher, OF
Ripley, w. Va, says, 81 have
never used anything other than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
nv children and it has always
given good satisfaction" This
remedy contains no opium or other
narcotic and may be given as conf

PaneIed walls were never considered
smarter than now nor more practical
| for the average fiat or apartment, for
housewives, especially the progressive
ones. realize that walls so decorated
make room much more attractive
than papers with crowns or borders
and, incidentally, that richer effects for
less money are possible.
There IS another deSirabl feature to
panels that thoughtful women have
discovered and that is with the walls
broken in this fashion a room requires
comparatively few pictures, for the
panels are decoration in themselves.
and if expensive paper is used an etch-
ing or an oil painting is really out Of
place, for there is no background TO
show 1t to advantage, and, moreover,
it actually detracts from the effective
ness of the panel by breaking the lines.
Panels" says a well known deco
rsttor, "are always effective if made
even from plain papers, but the most
attractive methods are worked out by
combining a plain background with
striped. floral or scroll panels.
ITO panel walls, the latter are first
covered with paper, preferably PLAIN
from the Dashboard to the ceiling, and,
on this the panels are laid. These.
pieces, contrary to the opinion Of
many, are not sold in shapes ready to-
put on, but by the roll, and are cut
any width or length desired. AS q.
rule, panels are not placed more than
twelve inches above the Dashboard and
extend to within eighteen or twenty
four inches of the ceiling, thus making
of the background frieZe at the top
and a dado at the bottom. The dis
tances between panels depend upon the
wall space, for they may be either. wide
or narrow.
IF the panels are either wider or
narrower than the width of a roll.

ty inches wide, considerable paper is
wasted, which makes this style Of dec
Grating more expensive than the old
style, but the panels, If desired, may
be made narrOw-1ust the width Of the
paper or wide enough to- take two
widths.
'Panels set on backgrounds naturally
need a finish to cover the, raw edges
where the two meet, and for this pur-
pose bands of paper resembling mold
ings are used. These bands or binders
do net come ready to hang, but must
be cut from regulation frieze paper Of
design that has stripes suitable for
outlining panels Some border papers
have two stripes, while others have
three or five, that may be cut out and
used as molding for panels"

About EYEGLASSES.

Unfortunately there comes a day in
each ones life when the eyes require
outside assistance to accomplish their
usual results. Many are obliged by
slight defects of vision to adopt glasses
quite young, even as children, and it is
fortunate that science has made such
progress in this branch, for there is
nothing sadder to see than blind per-
son. Accidental loss of sight cannot be
overcome, but slight defects may now,
thanks to the oculist, be generally
remedied. The wearing of glasses is
trial from the first to last, although
the fitting of the nose glass is reduced
to a fine art Spectacles are the only
comfortable and satisfactory sort to
wear
1t is better to wear nose glasses
without a chain, even at the risk OF
breaking them, for the chain drags the
glasses to one side and frequently
weakens the springs. The chain, too,
twists itself into intricate kinks at IN
convenient times and causes a word
or two of mild profanity on the part
Of the wearer. If something must be
worn, cord is Observation-Disclosures

The Eailinn Memory.

The memory is the most easily IA
tigued of all our mental faculties. This
would seem almost to follow from the
very nature Of this faculty. TO recall
an impression already stored up in the
brain necessarily involves effort. Ev-
ery student knows that after few
hours work the memory loses its pow
or and further effort becomes unprof-
table. 1t is consistent with this view
that the memory is the faculty which
first decays with the advance Of age.
With many persons this enlightenment
sets in before middle life is past
Events known to us in youth. when
memory was fresh and strong, can be
recalled in old age, while the things
that happened yesterday readily slip
into oblivion.

tooth powder on to the toothbrush.
The tooth powder is placed in the re-
ceptacle through an opening in the top.
Within the receptacle are rolls of pa
per which agltate the tooth powder and
carry it to an opening in the bottom OF
the receptacle This opening is the
same size as the bristles Of the brush,
the latter being held in place by
clamp. After placing the brush in po-
sition a small lever is operated to move
the paper roll to bring the exact
amount of powder desired on to the
brush. The powder is deposited on
the bristles of the brush, the roll serv-
ing also to close the opening against
further discharge. The brush is readi-
ly removed and the powder applied to
the teeth. This contrivance does away
with the necessity of depOsiting the
powder In the palm Of the hand, the re-
source commonly resorted to.

land of an old Indian byi the name

him the land willing enough and
smoked on like the freight train

chaser wanted an abstract of title

Indian looked tired, shook his head
and grunted: Heap trouble" But
when he found that he could not

across the reservation after the
surety paper, explaining, Indian
fashion that he would have to make
two trips as the pony couldn't pull
more than half of the writings at
one load. He was about right, the
land had been handed down from
one generation to another and
switched about from one long In

left a trail of hard works an

A Good Idea.

A woman who goes abroad almost
every summer says that there's just
one way to get ready for her trip sue
cessfully-that is, with a pencil and
paper. She claims to have tried pack
ing without a list, and it has always
resulted in confusion A long time, a
month if possible, before her sailing
date she makes out a list of the things
she will need to take with her. Then
with this list at hand she sets about
getting the things ready. When the
final packing time comes, she checks
of the things In order to see that moth
ing is missing.
She says that if one tries to get
ready for a long trip without method
something IS sure to be left behind
that will be needed. It's about IS bad
to have too many things along as too
few. but the making Of the list viii

parents in time to correct them.
The birds are source of profit and
pleasure to all and should not be
molested. We have said much and
said it often, about this Ipractice,
but it's Importance warrants us in
keeping the matter before the

State Good Roads Convention.

Every town chairman in the state

present his town at the good roads
convention in Milwaukee Sept. IL.
With this appointment has beer
sent a card on which to make
nomination for other delegates
from his town.
A highly representive gathering
from all parts of the state is thus
assured, and the influence of this
body on the future of roads in Wis
consin will be veryi Important. Such
a convention of persons interested
in roads will exert a tremendous
influence in their local towns
toward more public spirited in
terest in roads.
Everybody's business is usually
nobody's business, and the roads of
the state lhave suffered from this
worse than other departments Of
public work. When the interest OF
the people is aroused this condition
will rapidly change. Relative to
the state convention, Senator Geo.
B. Hudnall states that it is a very
good way to arouse the interest OF
the people and adds: ''If we are to

summer in the country to sketch, and
their daily faring forth with easels

Mornington hated artists in general
and women artists In particular. He
had bought the Terrence farm that he
might have quiet, and how could a
man have quiet when six chattering
women occupied the adjoining farm
house not 300 feet away?
The strawberry beds had been the
last irritation. The previous year he
had berries in profusion. This season
there were few to be found The doz-
en- or so in the saucer were all Sam
had been able to gather in day. He
was certain that his neighbors raided
his garden, and, without announcing
his intention to Sam, he rose early the
next morning.

took his place behind the tool house,
whence he could command a view of
the garden. Presently a slender, girl
