Furniture Fashions.

Just now, when several of the large shops are showing some excellent values in furniture it will interest housewives to know that there is as much change fin the style of this particular commodity as there is in the matter of dress this season.

 Tapestry is the preferred covering this year, and when plush is used it is invar- iably plain, and, as a rule, takes the form of well made cushions or pads for shairs and settees. This is an admirable lddea, as the upholstery can thus be re- moved and placed out of doors for airing and cleaning.
 The old-fashioned rush. bottom chairs are in favor again, both for dining rooms and as odd pieces in library, sitting or bedrooms.
 Those who are desirous of purchasing book cases may find them at tempting fly low prices, while the accessory pieces that every housekeeper likes to have, such as odd tables in, the round and oval shapes. and tea wagons with glass tray. Ebourets and serving tables are in .r1riety of charming fashions, which add Aerially to the appearance of ones

As for dieting, that is out of the question altogether Better be fat than have can cer of the stomach.
 The safest and quickest way to reduce excess fat is also the cheapest and easiest. Go to the druggist and get 1s ounce Marmola, F ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and 31a ounces Syrup Simplex. They cost but a trif1e. Take them home, shake them together in bottle, and take a teaspoonful after meals and at bed- time. If you are not losing a half to pound of fat day inside of month your case will be one in hundred. Try it-makes you feel better all over.
