GROWING GIRLS
NEED A TONIC
When They Become Thin and
Pale If Proper Development
and HeaIthful WOmanhOOd
Is to Be Assured.

Poverty of the blood, scientifically
called anamia, Is common in young
girls and in persons who are overworked
or confined within doors and makes its
approach in so stealthy a manner that
it is often well developed before its
presence is recognized. Taken in time
the disease is readily durable, thespecifc
being a tonic medicine which increases
the number of red blood corpuscles thus
enabling the blood to carry the life
giving oxygen to all the tissues of the
body.
Mrs. Nellie F. Roscovius, of Tulalip,
Wash, was strong and healthy until
her fourteenth year when she went into
a rapid decline. For the next year she
suffered from anemia and was not
cured until she gave DR.. Williams
Pink Pills a trial. She says:
''When I was fourteen years of age I
went into decline and was miserable
for year had not a particle Of color
and my blood was turning to water.
I was very weak and could not walk up
stairs without great effort. l had dizzy
spells and headaches all of the time and
was compelled tn leave school.
1.-THE doctors pronounced my trouble
ansmia but | did not receive much
benefit from them. Through a neigh
Dor, who had given her daughter DR..
Williams Pink Pills, began their use.
After a short treatment with the pills I
was stronger / quickly regained my
health and strength and have had no
occasion to use the pills since "
The tonic treatment with Dr. Will
liams' Pink Pills is successful because it
acts directly on the blood, purifying and
building it up to its normal health. It
thereby keeps the body healthy even
under unusual conditions.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills have been
found invaluable in g wide range of dis
eases of the blood and nerves such as
rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and
fevers, neuralgia, nervous debility, St.
Vitus' dance and even partial paralysis
and loconnotor ataxia.

Vegetables will take longer to cook,

Chopped pistachio nuts are delicious

A few minced dates added to fudge

Sponges are great germ collectors;
they should be thoroughly scalded fire.

Clothes ~sprinkled with boiling water
instead of cold will dampen much more

Simplicity is a marked feature of the

FURNISHED gold and mahogany are the
newest colors for frames. The former

so are often used together.
The effect of such combination is so
entirely different from the old style
of framing with wood and a strip of

to believe that h same colors are just
carried out in the new tones. These
shades used together bring out brown
pictures effectively.

gold alone, h wood alone, and the two.
in combination, may be used to sue
c%essfully frame all kinds of pictures
that are generally hung on walls of liv-
ing rooms, parlors, libraries and bed
rooms.
Marrow frames, from one to two
inches, are correct for medium sized
pictures, while for smaller subjects,
such as photographs, only a half-inch
frame is required. The latter are US

Both oval and square frames are cor

Wooden frames are fiat and plain,
except in a few cases, when a little
carving is seen as a motif placed in
the center of the top of a square
frame. The plain frames are, however,
considered better taste.
Gold frames are exceedingly dainty
in design, small delicate moulding be-
