THE MOUTH CLEAN.

Many persons, immaculate in all other
respects, are utterly unmindful OF the care
which should be given to the rgans OF
respiration and speech.
These organs, If health is to be main
tanned, must be kept clean, just plain
clean. Nothing without this will effect a
cure OF the diseases which attack them.
Much more effective than segregating
consumptives would II be TO teach people
to care for the mouth, nose and throat as
singers do. IL this were done. tubercu-
loss, together with catarrh and kindred
ailments. would be ~relegated to the class
of rare disorders.
To begin with, the mouth should be
rleansed most thoroughly and carefully at
pnce after eating, says the Portland Elk
press. To wait an hour or more before
doing this is TO invite malignant germs,
sure TO accept the summons, n there is
the beginning Of a colony certain to make
trouble of some kind.
The mouth affords an excellent culture
for germs and they quickly extend into
the various resonan chambers--the chest,
throat and nose. and later tnto the intri-
cate passages and cavelike spaces COM
municating with them, and SO on into the
lungs.
The nose should be bathed at least once
a day lat night with a douche and after

COLOR SCHEME S.
From IIarper's Bazaar.


We can get innumerablc color
schemes from nature during the entire
year by studying her In this way with
half-closed eyes n a due appreciation
Of massing and color schemes; but IL
is In the autumn that we almost catch
our breath in our effort to keep up
with the pageant; sweeps of yellows,
russets and golden browns, with
glimpses Of the dark brown trunks to
give strength to the scheme; russell yell
lows placed in direct contrast with the
dark rich green of pine n hemlock;
the rich coppers OF the oak with it's
sturdy dark brown branches, the soft
shimmery silver green of the locust
against a background of copper and
brown; the brilliant red OF the sugar
maple giving a Haunting ouch of color
to a mass of dark green evergreen.
These color combinations can be made
into the most fascinating Of color
schemes; libraries glowing with the
rich browns, coppers and green's of the
oak; living rooms with the browns and
yeilows OF the chestnuts; drawing
rooms with the contrasted yellows and
greens of the naples and hemlocks;
and bedrooms with the dainty green
of the locust and the puppies and laven-
ders Of which one sometimes catches
a delightful glimpse in a distant play
OF colors.
Fortunately for us, 1t is now possible
not only to study and make up delight
full new color schemes in this way, but
TO carry them out. A few years ago we
would have sighed in vain for materials
with which to fulfil our dreams. Now
they are to be had, and AT reasonable
prices also; hangings, papers, stains for
woodwork, n dyes for stuffs.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's HaIr
White but She Was Cured by
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which Is the cause Of your
suffering. That is the message which
a former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in it's grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return witn
greater intensity. s
Mrs. Evelyn C~reusere, who has a
beautiful home at S11 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
my trouble began about six years
ago and / did not rest as I should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After a time l became SO
weak I could not do any work at all.
l had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top Of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times / saw black
spots before them. consulted sew.
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
Il lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost In despair
when a friend recommended DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. tried them ac-
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end Of three
months l had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble VITA
my nerves. l have been in perfect
health ever since and can heartily
commend DR.. Williams Pink Pills"

y CHlNTZES FOR WALL. =

Chintzes of all kinds rave been a
perfect craze among fashionable wo-
men for some time past. No bedroom
is considered up-to-date unless the
furniture is covered with gay colored
chintz and the curtains are made 20
match.
A new departure in interior decor
alton is TO have the bedroom walls
also covered with chintz to match the
hangings. Chintz is almost as easily
put on the walls as paper, n the
effect Is far more attractive.
A bedroom which has just been fin
ished for a New York pima was most
attractively fitted up.
The walls were hung with a pink
and green Powered chintz which was
finished al the top with a pink gimp
put on with brass nails.
The furniture was covered with, and
the curtains made OF. the same ma
terial.
Chintz is also used as a border with
plain paper below in some bedrooms
where people do not want to go to the
expense Of having the entire wall GOV
cred with a material which is a
little more costly than ordinary wall
paper.

81 am not feeling very WE'LL" ~
I'm so nervous it seems as though l
should fly" my back aches as though
it would break"
How often do you hear these signi-
ficant expressions from o Q n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E. Pinkham Of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her SCI "Woman's Ills,
these two words are full OF more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane of woman's
existence.
The same. woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for n greater number OF
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives of
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia Il.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. The
following letters prove this

This is Worth saving.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to relieve any form Of
rheumatism or backache. also cleanse
and strengthen the Kidneys and Blad-
der, overcoming all urinary disorders,
If taken before the stage Of
B~right's disease: Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one-half ounce; Compound Kar-
gon, n ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces Mix by shak-
ing well In q bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after meals and at bed
time.
A well-known authority states that
these ingredients are mainly Of vege-
table extraction, and harmless to use,
and can be obtained at small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy. Those
who think they have kidney trouble
or suffer with lame back or weak blad-
der or Rheumatism, should give this
prescription a trial, as no harm can
possibly follow its use, and it is said
to do wonders for some people.

A BATHING A BABY.
From the pelineator.

Many fathers stand aioof from the
common domestic duties. MOI a
they are so busy or because they are
not willing, but because of ignorance.
How many men are there who would
not gladly drop their business at any
time and stay home and give h baby
his bath, If they only knew how.
Yet in reality ii is much simpler thar
1t seems. Fill the bathtub full of any
good water, first carefully removing all
germs. Put your elbow in occasionally
to see II 1t is the right temperature. If
ice forms on your elbow you may know
the water is too cold. If there are Bills
tiers hen II is too warm. Be moder-
ate in all things.
Take the baby firmly by both feet
shake him loose from his flannel
mornings. until o begin to see safety
pins ahead. Then remove the safety
pins with gas nippers. and unroll until
the baby looms into sight.
Now, having put on your rubber coat,
put one hand firmly under the baby's
chest and the other on his back, and
launch him on the still waters. When
he has kicked all the water out OF the
bathtub renew as before.
Be careful, while o are manipulate
ing the baby, to keep him face down.
Otherwise you would not be able to put
water anywhere else but in his mouth.

Stimulate the Blood.

Brandreth's Pills are the great blood
purifier. They are a laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bowels, the
kidneys and the skin, thus cleansing the
system by the natural outlet of the body.
They stimulate the blood so as to enable
nature to throw of all morbid humors
and cure all troubles arising from an inn
pure state of the blood. One or two
taken every night will prove invaluable.
Each pill contains one grain Of solid ex-
tract Of sarsaparilla. which, with other
valuable vegetable products. make IL q
blood purifier Of excellent character.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for
over a century and are sold in every drug
