MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Plnkham's Vegetable COMPOUND
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two Of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.
Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn,
Ill. writes:

Best Preparation to Clean Kitchen
WaIIs-Board That Will Be Found
Handy in Many Respects
Table Oilcloth.

To clean the kitchen walls, first
pour some kerosene in a basin, then
take soft cloth and dip it in the kerr
with it, then wiring another cloth out
of nice hot water and go over the spot
just cleaned with kerosene and lastly
wipe with clean, dry cloth. You will
be surprised at the results. It is the
easiest and most satisfactory way of
washing painted kitchen or bathroom
walls.
Sandpaper will clean suede leather,
undressed or "Ooze" calfskin bags.
Rubbing the sandpaper lightly over
these feathers makes the article equal
to new.
Many housekeepers will be interest
ed in little board they can have
made expressly for their use. 1t is
nothing more than the ordinary bread,
board secured from the 10-cent store
nicely covered several times with
newspaper and then a covering /of
canton flannel or piece of outing
flannel neatly whipped along theEfour
edges. When this is finished make a
case, as you would for a pillow, as
large as the board and put three but
tons on closing end, also three button
holes. When in a hurry to press a
seam or tab collar or shirtwaist, slip
your case on the board and press to
your hearts content in the dining
room, away from the kitchen heat.
Makers of fancy work may not know
the possibilities of plain black or white
oilcloth of the kind known as table
oilcloth 1t takes paints as we'll as
celluloid, and calendars, photo frames,
splashers, toilet mats may be made
from it. Where il is necessary to
bind with ribbon this can be sewed
on with the machine.
Hot milk is much more effective
than hot water to take out stains.
Oilcloth and linoleum may be
washed with a damp cloth and then
rubbed with a little linseed oil. This
will give a slight polish and will be
found particularly useful when, for
the sake of the old people or children,
it is not wise to use that excellent
material, beeswax and turpentine.

A Precious HERITAGE,

Sweetness of temper is precious
heritage. It gives beauty to every
thing. It keeps it's windows open to-
wards the spice country, and fills the
aome with perpetual delight. The for
:nnate possessor of sunny soul Is
Gods evangel in dark world. He is
living Gospel, which no ono will
ever repudiate, and the blessedness of
which all men will appreciate. The
body will grow old and the smooth
brow will be furrowed, but a happy
disposition is an aureole to the grey
crown of age. Blessed is he whose
life looks out upon the land OF Beulah,
and whose soul is responsive to the

Strenuous Treatment.
Grandpa had the lumbago the other
day."
Indeed! What did they do for
him!"
"Oh, they used the old-fashioned
remedies. They soaked his feet in a
tub and put ten homemade plasters
and poultices on him. Then they
dosed him with herb teas until he was
red as a beet. After the lumbago was
gone they put him in bed and sent for
the doctor"
Gracious, what did they need the
doctor for?"

air and he turned white"

Yes, and when we gave him his

To Cover Furniture,

An original idea for covering furni-
ture has been tried and proved sue
cessful by woman who wished to
have some unsightly chairs in her fur
nished fiat improved. She bought a
lot OF Roman blankets, with wide
dark blue and red stripes, and had an
uphOlsterer cover her sofa and chairs
18th them, just as though he were
using tapestry or velour. These looked
so we'll that she has her bedroom
chairs also covered with blankets,
having alternate pink and floral
stripes. She has had portieres and
inside curtains made of blankets
matching those on the chairs, and the
effect is really charming, and, as the
blankets are very cheap, they cost
much less than one would suppose.
She says that everything depends
upon the color of the blankets chosen.
Or course, very pronounced stripes
would be ugly upon furniture, but the
more subdued or delicate colors give
most satisfactory appearance to
room. Here is an opportunity for the
amateur upholsterer to try her hand.

EASY FOOD
Ready for Instant Use without
Cooking.

Ready for Instant Use without
Cooking.
Almost everyone likes cereal food
Of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way Of cooking cereals
results in pasty mass that is hard to
digest, and IL not properly digested, the
raw mass goes down into the intestinal
tract where gas is generated and trou-
BILE follows.
Everyone knows that good food prop
erly digested keeps the body well, while
poor food, or even food of good quality
that is poorly prepared and not digest
ed. is sure to bring on some kind of
disease
The easiest food to digest in this line
is Grape-N Nuts, made from wheat and
barley, and cooked thoroughly at tho
factory, some IL to 16 hours being con-
sumed in the different processes Of prep
aration. The food, therefore, is ready
for instant service and the starch has
been changed to a form OF Sugar, 80
that it is pre-digested and ready for
almost immediate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from Indigestion
and dyspepsia from the use of food that
was not suitable to her powers Of d.
gestion. She says:
