Extravaaanee rhen and Now.

E%travagance Then and Now.
1t is very much the fashion to berata
modern woman about her extrava-
gance.
When you can't scold a woman about
anything else. when you have wasted
all your ammunition against freak
fashions and other pet feminine fol-
lies. then 1t is considered timely to
scold women for the reckless way in
which they spend money nowadays.
And you always add nowadays" just
as if the grandmothers were always
frugal.
The nowadays Is rather unfair. It
is safe to assert that there have al
ways been feminine spendthrifts as
we'll as those who were careful and
conscientious in the expenditure Of
money.
The wardrobe excesses of Josephine
form appalling reading. with their
hundreds of sets of things. and evil
dence more than anything else the vul-
garity of the parvenu.
Maria Theresa. the second wife OF
Napoleon. on the other hand. conduct
ed her expenditures on moderate lines.
although springing from one Of the
most ancient courts of Europe.
Extravaganza is not necessarily an
appanage of rank. It is. as a rule. the
outward and visible sign of the man
who has made riches quickly and who
desires that his women folk should
blazon 1t forth to the world by rum
ming through the whole gamut of mod
ern pleasures in the most costly pos
Sibie way.

HOw TO TREAT TIE FEET

Many men and women. and espe-
cially clerks, suffer with aching, swol-
len and sweaty feet, or corns and cal
louses. This form of misery can bel
readily banished by the simple daily
use Of antiseptic vilane powder, a
specific of extraordinary virtues.
Obtain two ounces of vilane powder
from any leading druggist and to a
gallon Of steaming water add a tea
spoonful, also tablespoonful of salt.
Immerse the feet in this every night
for few weeks, ten to twenty min
utes, and it will soothe. heal and re-
move all poisons and soreness. Corns
and callouses disappear and cold feet
soon become unknown. Any one suf-
fering with their feet should have
this knowledge

CURE THAT CATARRH

Our climate with its sudden changes

vince the most skeptical that Paxtine
is not palliative but specific for all
catarrhal conditions.

tiseptic and germicide in powder form

qualities Of liquid antiseptics, but
with other valuable cleansing, germi-
cidal, and healing ingredients added.

LEWIS "SINGLE BINDER"

A handmade cigar fresh from the
table, wrapped in foil, thus keeping
fresh until smoked. A fresh cigar
made of good tobacco is the ideal
smoke. The old, we'll cured tobaccos
used are SO rich in quality that many
who formerly smoked 10c cigars now
smoke Lewis Single Binder Straight
&c. Lewis Single Binder costs the
dealer some more than other &c cigars,
but the higher price enables this fac
tory to use extra quality tobacco.
There are many limitations; don't be
fooled. There Is no substitute! Tell
the dealer you want Lewis Single
