CURIOSITY AROUSED.

DO want a party liner" snapped
Mrs. Harker with much emphasis
mo, indeed! Why. the IDEAL wouldn't
think of having one
Don't blame you, madam" replied
the telephone solicitor, with a sly
wink at the millxman. Party lines are
very embarrassing. When you go 70
the phone to cali up some one you are
likely to hear Mrs. A. telling Mrs. d.
all the latest gossip Of the neighbor-
hood. Then you will hear the butcher
telling Mrs. a. how much she owes
him and what he is going to do II she
doesn't pay him."
"Gracious"
Not only that, but you can hear Just
what Miss X. says to her beau during
lunch hour and what old man Smith Is
telling the pretty widow down In the
apartment house and-but what is the
use Of wasting time? You don't want
party line. They are too embarrass-
ing. Good-day madam, T."
But Mrs. Harker had him by the
arm.
Come right back" she said, firmly,
"and take my order for party line.

Great changes nave come ABOUT IN
building small houses within few
years. Until recently the idea of hot
and cold water and a bathroom in
house of this size was almost unheard
OF. In order to enjoy what are ordi-
narily called modern conveniences It
was necessary to occupy large house,
but bathrooms. hot water in the
kitchen, gas and electric lighting are
growing more common all the time
and they are being installed in small
er houses every year. Because 1t Is
necessary or because a person prefers
a small house 1t is no longer necessary
that they should do without the com
forts Of civilization With the in
crease of small houses fitted with such
luxuries the health Of the people has
improved
Itis generally understood that clean
tness is a good thing for more reasons
than one. Cleanliness as long ago

Ebony-backed brushes may be
cleaned BY wiping the handles and
back with a little boiled linseed ioil
which should then be carefully re

WOMEN PAY MORE.
Why Insurance Companies Dis
criminate against The Gentle
Sex

If one is to believe the medical
examiners the reason woman pays
more for the privilege of life insur-
ance is that she is much more COM
monty a victim of indigestion and
stomach troubles and the fatal all
ments that spring from these causes.
1t is not til acute attacks of disease
that influence the insurance examin-
ers alone, but the constant feelings of
weakness, headache, indigestion and
stomach trouble. These things, physi-
clans say, kill more people than many
of the serious diseases.

troubles nothing else is as safe yet
effective, nothing else can be so
thoroughly relied upon to relieve all
troubles of indigestion, as Mi-ona

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand ap-
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing train of very
annoying and sometimes ainful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this e RI d
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
OF suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
Hgent women who are approaching
