A trial package of Munyon's Paw Pa~
Pills will be sent free TO anyone on re-

in need Of medical advice, dc not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi.
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There. are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver

| had my way | would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
nvigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead Of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

FRENCH KNOTS COME BACK

French knots are quite taking the
place of the fashionable beading. The
latest thing is to buy wolfe or mar

instead at each place for bead. The
effect is soft and extremely pleasing
Most of us know how to make

Others may not come amiss. Briefly.
they are as follows:
To make a French knot, draw the
needle through the upper side Of the
fabric. Hold it in the right hand and
with the left hand take hold OF the silk
at a point near the fabric and twist
It two or three times around the nee
die. Then put the point of the needle
through the fabric again, very close
to the point at which you brought it
ND: draw the twisted silk closely
around it and push the needle through.
Hold the twist tight against the goods
With your left hand while you draw
the length of silk through, so as to
keen it from uncoiling When the silk
has been drawn quite through. it holds
the knot.

IMITATION OF THE B0LER0
Novel Idea ThCt Gives Effective
Touch to Almost Any Kind
Of Bodice.

Because the bOlero is so much in
fashion among the exclusives, the bod

them, put above the edge of the high
waist band of the skirt This tuck
may be pipCd or faced with another
material if desired The effect 10
much like that of a short bolero
jacket just reaching the top of the
princess skirt Sometimes the tuck
is made of the material Of the skirt
if the bodice is of another fabric.
Again it is made of the same STUFF
that trims the skirt.
For instance, a one-piece serge suit
that has folds of black silk on the
skirt has a two-inch tuck of black
silk on the bodice just above the
waist line There is a wide sailor col
lar of Venetian lace bound with black
silk and a chemisette of white net:
it is easy to see just how this gowr
gives the appearance OF short jacket

than the single garment, which is dis
tinctly for use in my lady's chamber
and is improper elsewhere. She re.
quires a belted daintiness, something
that can be worn over little loung-
ing corset, that can see and be seen
and that is so cool and good to look
at that it seems a real pleasure to
be a woman and know the summer
time.
In the illustration shown the style
of the sleeves and the smart shaping
of the peplum, as we'll as the chance
to use a very good embroidery, offer
very dashing possibilities for a little
dinner sacque or belted waist that
would go with skirt in the same
material
AS pictured, the charming coquetry
is Of white dotted muslin with square
yoke, sleeve frills and pepium of en-
broidery, and little lace beading
threaded with soft louisine ribbon.
If made in a single material from
three to four yards would be needed.
And now let me specialize a little
with materials-really cheap things
that are not often used. Take look
at the fancy curtain muslins and mad
ras cottons for the same purpose in
the shops and see how many really
dazzling effects can be had for gowns
with these coarse but effective mate
rials. If you find some brilliant and
not too clumsy lucent weave for the
little get-up you want to be very fetch
ing, look for the coarse ten-cent lace
that would go with it. Then peep at
the silkolines for 121@ cents yard
also curtain stuff-and get some dark
color with huge peoples or roses for
the bedroom kimono.
With little wisdom. much patience
and a modicum Of taste, the prettiest
house garment for summer may be
produced for a song.

COLOR FOR FROSTINGS
DIFFERENT METHODS BY WHICH
THEY ARE TINTED.
Diluted Saffron for Yellow Icing, Choo
oIate for Dark Brown, Carmine
Powder for Red and Spinach
Curd for the Green.

Here are some different ways OF col
oring frostings White icing is made
with white of egg beaten stiff and
mixed with powdered sugar. If you
add a tablespoon of lemon juice it will
be a purer white.
For yellow icing take a few drops
Of diluted saffron and add to the white
dark brown frosting. Cinnamon frost.
Ing is made by adding a teaspoon OF
cinnamon to white of one egg. This is
rather a pretty frosting.
For red frosting take a little car
mine powder, dilute with a few drops
of lemon juice and add to your frost
ing. Carmine powder is also to be
bought at the druggists, but is rather
expensive. You can also get pretty
pink by using few drops of berry or
currant juice.
Green frosting is made by adding
spinach curd to the white frosting.
To curdle spinach bruise a few leaves
thoroughly, squeeze the juice into
clean saucepan and boil till it curdles,
then add few drops of water, strain
through napkin and with that which
remains in the napkin color your frost
ing green. OF course, you can get
green color by making little indigo
with saffron, but 1t is not healthy.
Blue Is colored with violets, which,
by the way, makes a handsome jelly or
cornstarch pudding. You take hand
full Of violets, soak them over night
in little water, then stir thoroughly
and strain.
You can make any Of these in wa
ter icings if you wish by mixing sugar
with the juices and beating good. But
of course, the egg is always an add
ton.
Some people make caramel by melt
ing the sugar without any water, but
the water makes it much easier, be
cause it is, not likely to burn.

Fame of Wisconsin Corn.
