In his happy mood. he bought an old
cottage from a friend and straight
way went to inspect it.
In the garden there was q guam

it up, and was examining it when
it exploded, and he was killed on the
spot The prophecy had come true

You want of the food you need
Kodo1 will digest it.

You need sufficient amount Of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need TO fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach II
It Is weak.
You must eat In order TO live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat surfic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way TO do Is TO eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak 1t needs help;
you must help it by giving IL rest,
and Kodol will do that.

children from eight to ten years of
age, the souvenirs were made by the
guests from corn husks which they
transformed into dolls. A face was
penciled on the green stub of corn,
the husks made the dress and the silk
carefully braided made the hair; bon
nets were also made from the husks.
These dolls were really charming,
and the prize awarded for the best
was a delightful little booklet in which
corn husk dolly was the heroine; 1T
was written by a clever woman musi-
clan. This idea is just as applicable
for a 'grown-ups" party as for chill
dren, for l never saw woman yet,
whether she admitted 1t or not, who
didn't like chance to play dolls.

Cleaning Plumes.

A woman who has success in clean
ing ostrich and other feathers puts q
cupful of Indian meal, half cupful Of
flour and three level tablespoonfuls of
borax into a paper bag, and with it
one large or two or three small feath-
ers
These she shakes about until the
soil has disappeared from the feathers,
and then she shakes them free from
the mixture. Fine knitted wool arti-
cles and laces are sometimes cleaned
in this way.
