How to Avoid Pneumonia

You can avoid pneumonia and
other serious results from a cold
by taking Foley's Honey and Tar.
It stops the cough and expels the
cold from the system as it is mildly
laxative. Refuse any but the gen

First Lessons in scuIpture.

Modelling presents an ideal form of
amusement and instruction combined
for the little ones, nor is any occupa-
ton more dear to the childish heart.
Some doctors and nurses declare
that the clay used by sculptors is un-
hygienic, nor is it very easy to obtain
in small quantities. A substitute may
be found in paper pulp. Tear a guam
tity of newspapers in small pieces
and pour boiling water over them,
allowing them to remain soaking sew
eral hours. Pick this pulp well to
pieces and mix thoroughly with lit
tie thin flour and water paste; trial
or two will enable one to determine
the proper consistency. This may be
nodded like clay, into birds, animals,
figures, dishes, etc, which, when they
are quite dry, may be colored with
water color paints.

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy OF known

Father Right In Thinking He Knew

For some time the father of the fam

"Why, yes" said the father.

He told the mother how he knew.

have travelled over that road twice a

OLD LACEs THE BEST.
With Little Renovating They Can
BE Used to Good Advantage.

Among the odds and ends that aC-
cumulate in the garret there is moth
ing SO convenient as the lace box.
Every family has one, and it is al
ways advisable never to buy any new
trimming before first looking over
the relics Of the past.
Some think because lace has been
used once it is Caly fit for the rag
bag, but the materials of the last
generations were much finer than any
that can be purchased nowadays, and
after a little reno yatng they can be
used to great advantage.
Old point lace must be handled most
carefully. The only way to clean it is
by rubbing it gently with cornmeal.
This removes the dirt without tear
ing the fine threads.
Irish lace, which is so fashionable
just now that no toilette is considered
complete without it, is very easy to
wash. All that is needed is soap and
warm water, but be sure and iron it
when wet, else it will lose the stiff
ness which is its chief charm.
Yellow and tan lace after being
kept for any time fades, but that can
easily be remedicd by making a strong
pot Of tea. Drain off the leaves. While
hot dip the lace in and let it remain
there until it has become the desired
shade. Press while still damp, with a
hot iron.
No matter how small the remnants
Of lace hidden away in some forgotten
corner, there is always a Use for them.
The lace jabot, for instance, that has
so successfully taken the place of the
stiff mannish collar and tie, can be
made up of all little pieces, for, being
so full and fluffy, it never shows
where the lace is joined.
