General Dem and

Of the Well-Infor,ned of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts arc known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its cx-
cellcnt combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Wcll-Inforrned-
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genunc-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only. and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

TRIMMINGS OF NEW LINGERIE.
Wash Ribbon AttraetivsIy Arranged
Has Good Effect.

Some Of the new lingerie is trimmed
with rows of wash ribbon In pink or
light blue SO arranged that they are
sandwiched between two rows of val.
enciennes insertion. A nightgown, for
instance. would be finished with q
pointed yoke of alternating lace and
ribbon. finished at top with merely q
narrow beading. with q very small
bow Of ribbon to match. It gives the
effect Of a great quantity Of graceful
color while in reality the material n
very little and the work Is very easy.
A corset cover could. OF course. be
made on the same principle, although
1t is better not to use quite SO much
ribbon on one Of those minute gar
ments, because Il shows too much
through the sheer waists Of summer.
Petticoats, however. might be finished
with q rufile OF wide lace and ribbon,
and the effect would be quite magnin-
cent, particularly II Dresden ribbon be
used. .H -Hs
One Of the chief advantages in
using ribbon in combination with lace
insertion il that the edges may be
left as they are. while, II bands Of the
material are used instead. the edges
must be rolled-a feat which requires
an expert, and which prevents the
work being done on the sewing ma
chine. -IH w.

or in some way unsatisfactory. and the
same may be said Of q nightgown.
II Just the hand-embroidered yoke
is bought. however. and the rest Of the
gown made at home. the material will
surely be more carefully selected and
the garment may be made to exactly
fit. The hand-embroidered yokes are
attached to tho skirt Of the garment
by means Of some beading or valen-
ciennes lace insertion, or It might be
done with little bit Of narrow real
lace.
These detached yokes make ideal
gifts for prospective brides, or they
may be carefully saved and made up
at some future time into really hand
some articles for the trousseau.

Life Saved by Cutieura.

81 have been treated by doctors for

advised me to have my leg cut on. AZ
this time my leg was peeled from the

After the first two treatments the
swelling went down. and In two

Cuticura for his own patients. Ihave
now been cured over seven years. and

five times. Take III pint of the
whites Of eggs and beat them until
stin and smooth as possible. Your
cake will be tough and leathery unless
the whites are sufficiently firm to
bear an egg, and the texture very firm
and fine grained. Now stir in the
sifted materials as lightly and quick

a wire spoon or egg beater. Bake In

OF POTATOES AND. CHEESE.
New Way Of Putting Together Two
Popular Foods.

Boil about a dozen potatoes, and
while hot mash very soft with hot
milk and melted butter adding salt
and pepper to taste. Whip light and
heap in the center of baking dish.
Smooth the sides Of the mound with
a knife, and carefully remove about a
cupful Of potato from the center Of the
mound, leaving a cavity IN its place.
Dip a feather or brush in the white of
an egg, and cover the inside Of the
hollow. and the top and sides of the
mound with this. Set In the oven to
get very hot and to brown lightly.
when done take out and fill the hollow
with cheese sauce; sprinkle the pota.
toes and cheese with crumbs and re-
turn to the oven for FIVE minutes be-
fore sending to the table. To make
the cheese sauce. put half a cupful OF
butter in saucepan and melt. When

Sand Baa for Slekroom.

One OF the most convenient articles
to be used In a sickroom is a sand bag.
Get some clean. fine sand: dry It
thoroughly In a pan on the stove.
Make a bag about eight inches square
Of flannel. fill 1t with dry sand, sew
the opening carefully together and
cover the bag with cotton or linen.
This will prevent the sand from sift-
ing out. and will also enable you to
heat the bag quickly by placing It in
the oven or even on the top OF the
stove. After once using this you will
never attempt to warm the feet or
hands OF a sick person with a bottle
Of hot water or a brick. The sand
holds the heat a long time. and the
bag can be tucked up to the back with
out hurting the invalid. II is a good
plan to make two or three OF the bags
and keep them on hand. ready for use
at any time when needed.

II is almost an art now to design
molds for ice cream. Often the GUS

what forms they wish the cream or

odd molds are acquired. Flowers and

also tiny automobiles. Teddy bears"

DREAMERs ON TRIAL.
Indicates That They Are
Near an Awakening.

Medicine Hat, Man, April 16.-At
the trial of the nine members of the
sect known as "Dreamers,'' for burn
ing John Lehr's home, south of here,
the testimony revealed that members
of the order had to obey the instruc-
lions of the leader who ordered his
followers to destroy Lehr's home and
STAY his family at midnight, because
Lehr refused to join the congregation
and was a hereto. Michael Brost's
testimony was the most sensational.
He said he had been a Dreamer, but
severed his connection with that or
ganization when the members began
talking of burning and killing. He
stated that Jacob Merkels and David
Kaufman of Java, S. D., were the
heads of the order. Merkels was the
Sun" and Kaufman the Moon" At
the Saturday meetings dreams were
told by members and interpreted by
young Merkels. The Dreamer had to
carry out the purpose of his dream as
instructed
Lehrs name had come up at meet
ings and it was agreed to burn him
out. The members believed in killing
those who did not believe with them.
The next witness testified he had re-
ceived letters in which the writer's
threatened to kill him because he had
renowned the faith. The witness said
he knew the prisoners had burned
