80 YEARS OF SUCCESS
The w. c. Spring Drug Co. Offer
a Remedy for Catarrh. The
Medicine Costs Nothing
If it Fails.

When a medicine proves a success
ful treatment in very large major
ity of cases. and when we offer that
medicine on our own personal gnarab-
tee that it will cost the reader Moth
ing if it does not completely relieve
catarrh, it is only reasonable that
people should believe US. or at least
put our claim TO practical test when
we take all the risk. These are the
facts which we want the people to
substantiate. We want them TO try
Rexall Mucu-tone, medicine prepar-
ed by a physician with whom catarrh
was a speciality, and who has a record
of thirty years envable success to
hiS.record.
We receive more good reports about
Rexall Mucu-tone than we do any 9th
er catarrh remedies sold in our store,
and if more people knew what a thor
oughly dependable remedy RexaIl
Mucu- tone Is it would be the only
catarrh remedy we would have any
demand for.
ReXall Mucu-tone is quickly ap-
sorbed and by its therautic effect
tends to disinfect and cleanse the en-
tire mucus membraneous tract, to
destroy and remove paractes which
injure the membranous tissues. TO
soUthe the irritation and head sore
ness, stop the mucus discharge, build
up strong healthy tissue and relieve
| the blood and system of diseased mat
! ter. It's influence is toward stimulat-
ing the mUcO-cells, aiding digestion
and improving nutrition until the
whole system vibrates with healthy
activity. In comparatively snort
Time it brings about noticeable gain
in weight, health, strength, good col
or and feeling Of buoyancy.
We urge you to try Rexall Mucu'
Tone, beginning treatment today
Bt any time YOU are not satisfied
simply come and tell US, and we will

Pickle Industry Growing.

In view Of the fact that several Of

Recipe for Pickles,

The best pickle makers strain spice.

their pickles. or that which they pour
over them finally. so that the spices
shall not go into the Jars. In the
case Of picked onions 1t turns them
dark.
A spiced vinegar may have any
where from a half to a sixth as much
sugar as vinegar. The spices to be
used vary with the taste, but cloves,
mustard. allspice. and pepper are al
most universal. Celery. mace, tune
ric and ginger, dried mint and parsley,
garlic, onions and even nutmegs are
used. with cinnamon broken fine, small
red peppers, caraway and coriander
seed. And salt usually is used. A
horseradish root Is often used with
lar pickles as a p~reservative.

FOR THE HOME DRESSMAKER
Some Ideas That II VIII Be Well to
Keep Always In tho
Memory.

Dark red linen makes a girlish
dress that can be worn with a coat or
lingerie waist. The material laun-
ders nicely.
Some walking suits are trimmed
with pompadour ribbon on the collar.
narrow revers, cuffs and belt, the rib
bon matching the stripe of the ma
terial.
When altering a blouse for any rea-
son 1t is a great mistake to move the
shoulder seam to the front. A far
better plan is that of dropping 1t
backward instead of forward.
Vanity bags for dancing parties are
most attractively made of dainty rib
bon, in the form of a tiny bag, which
holds powder and puff ball. while the
bottom on the outside has a mirror,
held in place by a shirred piece Of
ribbon. after first being glued to the
Uncovered cardboard. which forms
the inside of the bag.

KEEPING THE CLOSET CLEAN
One Solution Of This Problem That
confronts Many lie to Paint
Il White.

Usually there are about the house
closets 80 dark that except at the
yearly or semi-yearly housekeeping 1t
is impossible to tell whether or not
they are dirty. They are breeders OF
disease, even In the best-managed
households, for no maid and few mis-
tresses will crawl into the dark hole
under the stairs or back in the kitchen
AFTER perfectly invisible dust
One solution of the problem Is to
paint these closets white, ceiling. floor
and walls. 1t is easy enough to see
dirt then. and the other and more use
ful contents of the closet as we'll. If
one can keep the hall closet clean,
and find the family overshoe on sight.
simply by painting the closet white.
then. by all means, let US hasten to
the paintshop and remove the obsolete
and horrible wall paper that usually
incumbers these germ hotels.
If the closet is still dark after this
treatment, try cleaning with the aid
OF the electric hashlight There Is no
danger Of fire, and can be
closely investigated. All Of which is
an advantage to the housewife who
does not love dirt and disorder.
But always, when cleaning day
comes, consider first the closets. and
most important of all of these Is the
sloping, dark, neglected closet under
the stairs.

BLACK SATIN ALL THE RAGE
Shade and Material Has Entirely Cap
tured the Fancy of Devotees
of Fashion.

Black satin has certainly captivated
Fashion! First, with the tailored suit
with long. graceful lines; then with
the Paquin scarf or mantle, and now
with the chic little chapeau, says the
Philadelphia Press.
While this latest millinery creation
Is a forerunner of autumn modes,
women like 1t so much that they have
not delayed a minute to wear 1t.
When a woman called 1t simply
ideal'' the other day she certainly hit
the mark, as 1t Is ideal for almost any
occasion.
1t Is a creation between a mush-
room with high dome crown and tiny
brim-and a poke bonnet. Fashioned
in a severe style, with soft folds Of
satin around the crown and small bow
or rosettes at the side. And a dainty
frill of white or ecru valenciennes
must edge the brim inside to give the
necessary softness to the face. Truly
a picturesque hat, yet practical. SO
much so that a woman can take one
las the only hat" for a weekend trip
quite appropriate to wear with a tai
lored suit, ideal combination with a
lingerie dress, and will be charming
for evening.
One of these hats recently seen in
London was simply trimmed with two
ostrich plumes-one at either side Of
the front and standing perfectly
straight.
Parisiennes are very enthusiastic
about black satin-and is 1t any Won
der when such modes have been de-
signed for their pleasure and to en-
nance their beauty?
Newest lace veil is a charming COM
bination of black and white. This not
only signifies the vogue of this delight
full color combination, but provides a
most charming veil for blonde or
brunette. The net or mesh part Is Of
white, while the chantilly designs are
black.

too. These are for ONE who prefer
things to match, and who wear natural
color straw hats with pongee suits or
frocks.
