How She Knew.

Why, I never pass her on the street
but what she invariably turns her

SHOW THEM YOUR TICKETS
This VIII Surely Relieve the German
Railway Guard of His
Sadness.

Whenever q German railway guard
feels lonesome, and does not know
what else to do with himself, he takes
a walk round the train and gets the
passengers to show him their tickets,
after which he returns to his box
cheered and refreshed. Some peops
rave about sunsets and mountains and
old, old masters, but to the German
railway guard the world can show
nothing more satisfying, more inspir-
ing, than the sight of a railway ticket.
Nearly all the German railway Of
fciaIs have this same craving for
tickets. If only they get somebody
to show them a railway ticket, they
are happy. 1t seemed a harmless
weakness of theirs, and B. and / de-
cided that it would be only kind 10

UTILIZING LACE BITS

A woman who is clever with her
needle can do quite wonderful things
with old bits Of lace. for pieces useless
alone may be turned into beautiful
trimming by employing old portions
taking. for example, a motif OF scrap
and combining the two.
Before any sewing is done the lace
must be thoroughly cleansed. This is
a part of the work that cannot be
skimped. 1t consists not only in wash.
ing. but preparing for laying, and a.
most particular detail the preparation
is. Motif or net that is TO be saved
is carefully cut from the background,
taking great pains not 20 stretch IT,
This is then neatly sewed on piece
OF perfectly smooth muslin that has
been previously strunk, The latter is
most important. otherwise the linen
will draw and pull the lace out Of
shape. Stitches in this work must be
fine and close, using very thin thread
that will rip easily.
This done. the lace is ready for wash
ing In soapy water. the bath being
made by putting scraped soap into
boiling water to dissolve. This makes
a jelly which is put into warm-not
hot-water and thoroughly stirred.
Suds are formed into which the lace
is dropped. when it is gently and re-
peatedly squeezed under water. No
rubbing or pulling is done. AS soon
as the water is soiled a fresh bath
must be prepared, repeating the
cleansing until no more dust remains.
Then several rinsing waters are used.
To dry. them uslin must be stretch
ed upon the floor or other smooth sur
face and tightly pinned. II will then
stay in shape, and just before the last
dampness is gone it may be ironed, us.
ing a cool rather than hot iron, and
pressing over the muslin background
BY that time the lace Is ready for
renovating and is gently untackcd
/ from the background.
If II be a motif that is to be applied
TO new net the latter should be pui
! into an embroidery frame to hold II
smooth and the pattern laid on tn,
place desired.
It is then appliqued with very fine
cotton. taking the tiniest stitches. close
together When this is complete th'
net beneath should be cut out, and II
a rufie is being made the raw edge
must be turned back and applied
neatly.
only a woman who has tried this
method realizes what really exquisite
results may come from such labor an-
that literally from rags she ma,
achieve a decoration which would cos
many dollars.

MANY HERE ARE
NOW RELIEVED
Tremendous Popularity of
Home Prescription. Says
Local Druggist

That the readers OF this paper ap-
preciate advicS when given in good
faith is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one WELL known local phar-
macy supplied the ingredients for the
vegetable prescription many times
within the past two weeks. The an
nouncement of this simple, harmless
mixture has certainly accomplished
much in reducing the great many
cases Of kidney complaint and rheu-
nlatism here, relieving pain ald mis-
cry, especially among the Older popu-
lation, who are always suffering more
or less with bladder and urinary trou-
bles, backache and particularly rheu-
matism.
Another well-lSnowIi druggist asks
us to continue The announcement Of
the prescription. Il is doIng so much
real good here. he continues. that il
would be a crime not to do SO. 1t
can not he repeated too often. and
further states many cases Of remark
able cures wrought.
The following is the prescription.
of simple ingredients. making a harm
less, inexpensive compound. which
any person can prepare by shaking
well in a bottle Fluid Extract Dan
deion. one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. three ounces. Any first
class drug store will sell this small
amount of each ingredient. and the
dose for adults is one teaspoonful

at bedtime. There is enough here

cording to directions. Good results
will be apparent from the first few
doses.

Mo Spots on Ermine.

There was a day when ivory ermine
without the black spots would be con-
sidered fourth class Now there is
reversal Of opinion. Unspotted ermine
is the preferred kind.
The handsome sets and hats are
made Of this. The latter is especially
choice when there is no black hecks
on IT. 1t is made fiat, quite broad,
and trimmed with a yellow bird OF
paradise.
other ermine turbans have crown
of black Persian lamb, and they are
trimmed with an osprey.
This fashion for the unspotted ermine
may have been brought about by the
manufacturers who wanted to make
rabbit. white or blended. a fashion
able fun, because of the close imitation
TO the real thing. Many fashionable
women. or rather rich women, are dis
uraged to find other people wearing
good-looling sets of rabbit at small
cost alongside their unspotted ermine.
for which they paid such high price.

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart REM

and muscles, and in this way
