1 ease of the kidneys is known
as the catarrhal stage.
Catarrh of the mucous membrane
lining the kidneys is the first act of

To stop the catarrh is to head off
the disease.
If Bright's Disease can be relieved
during the catarrhal stage all will
be well.
Peruna has achieved reputation
for mitigating catarrh of the in

This explains why Peruna has

C0L0RED GOODS CAN BE
WASHED WITHOUT FADING.

Those who are always afraid of wash
ing colored fabrics for fear of fading
will find the following suggestions
helpful, says the Delineator:
Where green or blue. or mauve, or
purple, or purply red, is the dominant
note. soak the things before washing
for at least ten minutes in alum
water, using an ounce of alum to q gal
lon of water. For the d tints--
browns, brown-reds and tans, and all
their kind, the sugar of lead in the
same proportion. Black goods, black
and white, gray and very dark purple
need to be soaked in strong salt water,
or have a cupful of turpentine put in
the wash water. A strong tea made
of whole black pepper Is good to SEX
the Amer black cottons. And If a hand
full of salt goes into the last rinse water,
all manner of black and white things
come through 1t much cleaner and
clearer. Sunshine will bleach out al
most anything colored, so prints, ging-
hams and chambrays had better be
dried in the shade, but as quickly as
possible. All soap must be rinsed out
thoroughly. Wheat bran is better. TIT
it loosely in cheesecloth and use the
same as soap in tepid water. Yellows,
bluffs and tans are made much brighter
by adding a cupful of strong strained
coffee to the rinsing water.

With Thanksgiving past and Decem-
bel just about to be ushered In, we VIII
hardly feel the time passing until
Christmas Is here, and we will find our
selves celebrating the day above all
others when 1t seems all the world is
kin, and each tries to make the other
happy.
It might not be afniss to ask ourselves
Just what are we doing to bring Joy
into the lives of our fellows. There is
so much besides gift-giving that makes
for a merry Christmas that few of us
seem to realize, yet kind words and a
cheerful smile will often have more eff
feet for good than the most costly gift
money can buy.
We think when we bestow a material
gift on some relative or friend as a
token of Christmas that we have done
our duty, but If our gift is not accom-
panied by kindness. and the spirit
which should prevail at this season
more than at any other time; If we
would make our giving symbolic of the
great day. it were better had we
not given at all than made a farce Of
our celebration Of the great feast Of
Christmas.
There are a great many ways in
which we can add to the Christmas
joys of others, and not the least of
these is the consideration we should
have for those who will serve us in the
stores and shops during the few days
to come. and the happiness that our
consideration is to bring to them is
well worth the extra effort.
So when you begin YOU holiday shop
ping in a few days, If you have mo- al
ready begun, try to remember to make
a list Of needed things, and, If possi-
BILE, adhere to it. This will make shop
ping easy for you and the clerk as well.
Decide exactly what you want to buy,
the color, quality and the price o are
able to pay before you begin.
Be amiable to the saleswoman. She
is a human being and not a machine,
and is just as apt to be ruffied by the
added excitement as % Treat her
kindly and she will reward you by gem
erous attention.
Make up your mind to shop in the
morning while you are fresh and rested.
You will avoid the crowded stores and
cars of later hours. You will notice
how little fatigue you will feel, and the
homework you leave in order to get
away early looks a mere trife upon
your return.
If you must economic, study the art
of doing without unnecessary and use
less articles. Receiving a few things
that are actually useful gives far more
satisfaction than the accumulation of
oceans of superfuous things that one
never finds a need for.
While the good Book teaches a great
deal about Christmas, we are not told
anything about material giving. The
whispered blessing, the gentle word or
the kindly smile thai betokens Good
will to men, has more of the meaning
of a merry Christmas than some of us
have ever learned.
Shall we not look for this interpreta-
ton Of the great story?

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

Cocoanut can be ground in a meat chop
per for pies.
A large megaphone placed over a plant
to keep In sulphur fumes will Kill rose
pests.
Wash windows on a cloudy day or when
the sun is on the opposite side. Use very
hot water and the windows will dry much
sooner and be more easily cleaned. Am
monia and a little kerosene assist In speedy
work.
The l~ong-handled whisk broom is handy
for cleaning out a coal stove, especially
the SCOT box underneath.
Never varnish furniture during a damp
season and never in a room where there Is
no heat. When varnish dries slowly 1t has
an opportunity for catching dust. which is
plainly visible when the varnish is per-
fectly dry.
A rag dipped into oxalic acid will In
stantly clean copper. Protect the hands
with gloves while washing off the pieces.
A cocoanut she'll cut In half and filled
with a sponge will make n neat hanging
basket in which to grow hempseed or any
of the green plants which can be nourished
on water alone. Small bulbs can be in
serted in the sponge and they will flourish
nicely. Keep the sponge wet.

THE PROPER USE OF
PERFUMES AND SACHETS.

The use of perfume is one hat every
woman should understand. If too much
is put on the odor becomes noxious and
cloylng, and only the faintest sugges-
ton is desirable.
More subtle, and in every way the
most delicate method, is through the
use of powders that scent the gar
ments. I do not know precisely what it
should be so, but with these rather
than liquids there is never a harshness
of perfume.
With very little trouble and not
much expense a woman may have not
only all her clothing thus sweetened.
but house linen as well.
One of these delicate scents to keep
among sheets and pillow cases is a
mixture of seven parts of powdered
cedarwood, the same of dried lavender
flowers, n part Of powdered gum BEN
zoin, one part of powdered cloves ana
two parts of powdered cinnamon. II
cannot be excelled. Ii must be well
mixed, sifted and put into fiat bags
among the sheets, or else fiat pads the
size of the shelves or drawers may be
used. Any thin material is suitable
for the pads, the kind being governed
only by expense, says the Washington
Star.
Lavender flowers are not expensive
and make a sweet and fresh perfume
for house linen. Our grandmothers
used vanilla beans among their linen
and found the dor vas sweet ana
lasting.
Potpourri made of fresh rose leaves
is one of the greatest luxuries in per-
7 fumes, but unfortunately Is out OF the
reach OF the average woman one
made of dried flowers and spices h a
may be bought at any chemists is
worth more than the time it takes in
combining, and is delicious either Tor
body or house linen.
To make it take eight ounces each OIL
dried lavender flowers and rose leaves
four ounces of ground orris root, one
ounce each of ground cloves, cinnamon
and allspice and eight ounces of table
salt. The mixture should stand for O
month in a tightly sealed glass jar be-
fore using. You will notice that the
ingredients are ground, not powdered
S~andalwood is another old-fashioned
Scent used quite alone, but 1t may DC
combined with rose geranium to vary
The odor.

THE 0 N WHO TRAVELS.

You can tell a lady a mile off when she
is travelling. In the first place. she Is
properly aud sensibly gowned. Her dress
is plain, neat, good. Her hat is not con
splcuous or set Off with countless flying
plumes. Her gloves are whole. her shoes
neat, and her land satchel a good one,
even showing some usage. She Is never
conspicuous in the waiting-room, and she
is less on the train. Like a child, she
speaks when spoken to and lapses into
silence. She makes a delightful companion.

HINTS FOR THE
HOUSE MlLLlMER.

The backward trimming continues to
flourish.
Handouts of strange, s~oft-faning plumage

Flowers are a favorite trimming, and
large buckles made of tinsel. gaioon,
drawn silk and velve are some of the
smartest touches.
Smooth and rough felt. l~ong-haired
beaver hats bid fair to establish them
selves in favor for winter wear. Vying
with them are large hats Of velvet the
simpler ones trimmed with big bows of
satin ribbon, the more decorative ones
with handsome feathers.
