SUTTON THEIR OWN wA,srs.
New York Women Have surmounted
Great Obstacle.

Marvellous as 1t may seem, New
York women have lately discovered a
way OF fastening their waists up the
back without calling for assistance.
Thought not lacking in generosity, they
became so tired OF the outstretched
palm OF the chambermaids that they
now feel that it is time to guard their
pockets. The Gotham woman discov-
cred that IL she put her blouse on
hind side before, with the sleeves
hanging free, it could be fastened
from top to bottom, with the excep-
tion Of the hooks at the neck, and
then turned around and the arms
slipped into the sleeves without un-
duly straining the fastenings So sim
pie! So strange that no one had
thought of 1t before. Or is 1t possible
other women have used the plan and
meanly kept 1t to themselves? Will
the waist that buttons in the back
now have new lease Of life?

in reducing the death rate from Tuber-

lect cold or cough, and 1t is most i'm
portant that this advice be followed.
While the cough or cold may not bring
consumption, 1t Is better to be on the
safe side and take no chances.
Here is simple remedy that will
break up cold in twenty-four hours,
and cure any cough that is curable:
G!ycerine. two ounces; Virgin Oil of
Pine (Pure), one-half ounce; good
Whisky, half pint. Shake well and
use in teaspoonful doses every four
hours. The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist at
small cost. but must be pure to effect
the desired results. For this reason it
is always best to purchase the ingredi-
ents separately and prepare the mix
ture at home.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) should be
purchased only in the original half
ounce walls put up for druggists to
dispense. Each vial is enclosed in

Food Commission Enloined.

State Dairy and Food Commissioner
A. G. Bird has been enjoined, and,
until the injunction is set aside, he
must not speak or print anything
showing disrespect for the sausages
manufactured by the Armour COM
pany of Chicago and sold in Michigan.
Recently the chemists in the employ
of the dairy and food department
have been looking into sausages and
what they saw in the sausages has
now become matter of controversy
in the courts Chemist Robson says
he saw cereals in sausages sold at
Traverse City and as result two
local dealers were arrested. Assistant
Attorney General McGill went to
Traverse City to assist in the prose
cution of the men who finally pleaded
guilty. 1t was claimed that in some
cases sausages were found to contain
from 40 to 60 per cent water which
was more than was found in Mr. Lii
lies butter, and was therefore ex-
cessive. 1t is claimed that cereals are
used to absorb the water in the sau-
sages. Then the pure food commits
sioner was served with an Injunction
granted by Judge Coolidge, of the
