FOR THE HOT DAYS
VARIOUS DEVICES THAT MAKE
FOR COMFORT.
Camping Idea for Care of Meat Will
Be Appreciated by the Practical
Housekeeper = Awnings
for the Piazza.

The canvas home has become so
popular during the summer months
that decided advance has been made
in materials and outfits for camp life.
Many Of these devices are worthy Of
attention, and recommend themselves
not alone to the lover of outdoor life,
but to the practical housekeeper as
well. The collapsible meat safe is
made Of English bobbinet, washable
and extra strong. Circular bands Of
wire form a sort of cage, over which
the bobbinet is stretched. Suspended
from tree or beam this safe protects
all meats from insects, while every
thing is left open to the air. The new
folding camp stoves range from three
to five dollars. There are no lids to
this stove and the fire is fed from a
door at the end. The stove is made
of sheet steel, all edges wired and
top-braced. It sits fiat on the ground,
and its weight is from 121H to 1917
pounds. Ovens and aluminium bakers.
which bake and roast when placed
against the side of the stove, are said
to be satisfactory, An excellent
CRATE for cooking over Goals can be
bought for. 70 cents. Made of heavy
wire rods it stands about one foot
high, and when not in use the legs fold
fiat and can be easily carried or
packed. Pocket filters are useful, and
ter price is about one dollar.
When choosing awnings for the sum-
mer piazza select the shades that fade
least and then take precaution to pre-
serve them. Whether it is best to roll
up an awning or leave it down during
rainstorm is an open question. Many
declare that if left down they become
thoroughly washed, and the rain runs
off, taking dust and dirt with it, while
if left up the water settles in the
cloth in little pools and afterward
stains are apt to appear. OF course
during a windstorm all awnings should
be raised. Light straw awnings are
very satisfactory used for a screen
but they seldom last more than one
season. After they are no longer use
full for the piazza they can be used tc

oPEN pEALINe IN PAINT.

Buying paint used to be like the
proTerbial buying Of pig in a
poke Mixtures in which chalk,
ground rock. etc., predominated were
marked and sold as Pure White
Lead" the deception not being ap-
parent until the paint and the paint
ing were paid for. This deception is
still practiced, but we have learned to
expose it easily.
National Lead Company, the larg-
est makers Of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers, set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted a trade mark, the
now famous ''Dutch-Boy Painter" and
put this trademark, as a guaranty of
purity, on every package of their
White Lead. They then set about
familiarizing the public with the
blow-pipe test by which the purity
and genuineness of White Lead may
be determined, and furnished a blow
pipe free to every one who would
write them for it. This action was in
itself guaranty of the purity of Ma
tional Lead Company's White Lead.
AS the result Of this open dealing
the paint buyer to-day has only him
self to blame if he is defrauded. For

painting, address National Lead Com

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

remedy for Woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good ld-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field TO
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
J thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women / am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years 1 had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.

physicians without help. No tongue
