Make Your Own SarsapariIa or Spring
 Blood Medicine.

Mix one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar- gon. three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla Shake well in bottle and take one teaspoonful after meals and again at bedtime. Any good drug gist can supply these ingredients
 This is said to be a splendid Spring Blood Tonic and system renovator be- cause of it's gentle action in restoring the Kidneys to normal activity, forcing them to filter from the blood all i'm pure matter and acids, destroying micro-organisms which produce i'll health and sour blood.
 Everyone should take something to cleanse the blood at this time of year, and the above simple prescription is the most highly indorsed of the hun dreds of home remedies generally used.
 Mix this yourself, then you will know what you are taking.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
 Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes a sick room there is an added reason why ex- treme precautions should be used to keep the room in q thoroughly sanitary condition.
 Above all things, the bedroom should never be damp. It should be nice and dry, always warm and comfortable in winter coJl md airy in summer, and bright and sunny some parts of the day.
 If there Is any suspicion of damp ness in bedroom it is probably due, if there is wallpaper on the wall, to the absorption of water by the paper which frequently acts as a plotting pa per and holds quantities of water in it.
 The use of wallpaper on walls is to be deplored; it means disease. i'll health and unhappiness. It is ire quently the cause of lung trouble, not only because of it's dampness but also because of it's power to retain infec- tion of many kinds
 The desired method of treating a bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala bdstIutu Wall IS d perfect wall. II sever flakes off, chips or peels. It ab- sorbs moisture and eXpels it, it opens the pores of the plaster and makes a room liyable and breathdale.
 The floor in the bedroom 5hould have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that can be easily shaken and a floor that is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that will not absorb moisture. The cracks in the floor should be thoroughly filled and covered. Woodwork in the bed room should be attended to carefully, window sills should be thoroughly var nished or waXed, and the window cas- ings kept in perfect order. The doors should be d off frequently as also should b. - the standing woodwork in the bedroom, as the presence of dust on woodwork is a menace to health as well as an evidence of poor housekeeping
