A long AND SUCCESSFUL REC
ORD.
Some Family Remedies That Have
Have a Place in Thousands of
Homes

With real satisfaction we call the
attention of our readers, and espe-
cially mothers, to the fact that III
fellow townsman, Lewis Frankel,
|219 New Brunswick avenue, is offer
ing to the public the famous prep
arations are more popular today
pany, Norristown Pa. For I'VE thir-
ty-ive years the Dill Remedies have
been on the market. Hundreds of RI
walls have sprung up during this
long period, f1ourished a while, and
then disappeared, but the Dill Prep
arationc are more popular today
than ever and seem likely to con
tinue their successful career so long
as human ailments abide.
Dill's Balm of Life, a really ia
nous medicine is a remarkably eff
fectual remedy for Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Pleurisy, Lumbago, Kid
ney and spinal troubles and is
equally effective in the treatment of
Diphtheria, Sore Throat, Cholera
Morbus, Dysentery, LaGrippe, etc.
In many a home Dill's Balm of Life
has come to be regarded as actually
Indispensable. Mothers keep it con-
stantly in the medicine cupboard,
and firmly rely upon its virtues.
The Dill Medicine Company also
prepares the famous Dill's Cough
Syrup-probably the best cough
medicine that the country has yet
seen and used. For coughs, colds,
sore threats, bronchitis, catarrh and
all diseases of the thoat and lungs
Dill's Cough Syrup is the one proved
and accepted remedy in homes from
Portland, Ore, to Portland, Maine.
Mothers successfully fight those
scourges of childhood-croup and
whooping cough-with this simple
remedy, and keep it constantly at
hand. Another equally well-known
product of the Dill Laboratory is
Dill's Little Liver Pills, for the relief
of constipation, indigestion, bilious
ness, headache, etc. Untold num-
bers W relief from hours of suffer
ing to the use of these effective little
pills. Many are never without them,
as a regulator and preserver of nor
NAL, healthy action of the stomach
and bowels. Dill's Worm Syrup Is
scarcely less known than the prep
arations already mentioned, and
when all other agencies have failed
in this painful and unpleasant all
ment, Dill's Worm Syrup has proved
effectuaL. It is a really remarkable
remedy. Dill's Blood and Nerve
Tonic is also fast forging its way to
the front as a genuine restorer of
vital energy, and an all round health
improving, ~life-giving tonic. Alto
gether the Dill Medicine Company's
ducts are among the few really val
liable proprietary medicines, and are
~deservedly popular. 4-8-1t

HOT DRINKS.
If Taken Above 1870 Degrees They In
lure the Stomach.


Many people without realizing it are
in the habit Of drinking tea at much
too high a temperature, Sir Henry
Thompson points out in his book on
diet In Relation to Age and Activi-
ty."
Few persons are aware that they
habitually swallow hot liquids. tea es-
peciaIly, at a temperature which if
applied TO the hands or feet would in
f1ict painful scalds. Most tea drinkers
take it about 40 to 145 degrees F.,
which the mouth bears very well if
slowly slipped, while the cup itself is
too hot to be held by any hand.
But the habit of swallowing such
tea is injurious to the stomach, and It
ought not to be taken above 40 de-
grees or so. Again, water at 100 de-
grees, which feels little more than
lukewarm in the mouth, causes severe
pain If the hand is dipped in it and
cannot be endured"
He has. however. some good woods
to say for the early morning tea
''ThiS morning tea in any case should
be taken at least an hour and a half
before the first meal of the day. For
many years I have been accustomed
to write for an hour every morning I'm
bed after tea, as l am doing at this
moment, and at no time do ] find the
brain clearer for. work, while the ap-
petite for solid food is excellent when
the hour for breakfast arrives"

WASHING FURNITURE.
Easy to Restore furnished Pieces to
Original Freshness.

Easy to Restore furnished Pieces to
Original Freshness.
Very few people know that furni-
ture ought to be washed" said a sales
man in the furniture section of a large
department store. Yet" he continued.
cit is the best thing one can do to keep
furniture looking as well as 1t should.
One should take bucket of tepid rain
water and make a suds with a good
pure soap. Then with a soft piece Of
cheesecloth all the woodwork should
be washed 1t IS astonishing how much
dirt will come Off. a second piece OF
cheesecloth should be wrung dry out of
hot water. On this should be poured a
tablespoon of first class furnituSe pol
fish. The heat Will spread the polish
through the cloth. Next the furniture
should be gone over with the second
cloth There will be no need of put
ting on more polish, for that much Will
do all one needs. Too many persons
make the mistake OF using too much
polish and leaving 1t thick on the furni-
ture, where it looks dauby and where
It gathers more dirt"
There is furniture in homes today
that is cast Off because of its appear
ance when it might be brought back
