Avoid Sedatiye Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly to the occurrence of capillary bron- chitis and pneumonia use cough medi- cines that contain codine, morphine, heroin and other sedatiyes when you have a cough or cold. An expecto- rant like Chamberlain's Cough Reme- dy is what is needed That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ diseases. That is why pneu- monia never results from a cold when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used. It has world wide reputation for it's cures. It contains no mor- phine or other sedatives.

For the Tea Table,

Oriental sweetmeats are very popu-
lar for afternoon tea tables. Among
the first favorites are candied Chi
nese oranges, dates, plums and other
stone fruit crystalized by foreign pro-
cess and stuffed with nut mixtures.
Turkish paste and East India articles
of all kinds are much used. Ginger
bonbons are easily made at home, by
taking oblong pieces of preserved gin
ger and inserting these in the heart
of fine large dates, which have been
stoned. Draw the date together and
roll in powdered sugar

CHEAP TONIC FOR THE HAIR
Preparation That VIII Increase the
Growth and lmpart Beautiful
Sheen to Tresses.

Eagerly the eyes of a woman will
scan the pages of papers and maga-
zines for the thousand and one little
helps, especially those that are for
beautifying the complexion or hair, or
to remedy some physical defect. 1t
sounds very good, and so 1t Is, but
when one mentally calculates the price
of the much desired, 1t is with sigh
that the article is cast aside.
There is nothing more beautiful
than woman's hair. 1t fulfills mis-
sion when ugly features are beyond
repair, for angularlty and sharpness is
softened with a delicate frame of
beautiful hair around ones face.
1t is not possible to change the col
or without injurious results, and ma
ture provides the shade of hair which
best suits your complexion. But when
1t Is dead looking, dusty appearing,
broken, not properly arranged 1t de-
stroys the best appearance in the
world.
Let the hair be ever so tawdry, brok-
en- or dull of appearance this prepara-
tion will increase its growth, impart
a beautiful sheen and change its dull,
dead appearance. Boil a double hand
full of sage with one-half teaspoonful
of salt and sulphur In one quart of wa
ter. Use leaf sage. Strain 1t into a
large bottle, add as much quinine as
you can hold on the end Of a knife
blade and put into the mixture 5
cents worth of bay rum and cents
worth of witchhazel. Apply 1t to the
scalp with medicine dropper. If the
scalp is dry use very little vaseline
on the hair. The liquid will "cut" the
grease This Is good.

RIBBONS ON LACE CANVAS
Lovely Work Possible When Care Is
Taken to Secure Properly Suit
able Colors.

Very lovely work can be done with
ribbon, wide and narrow, self-colored
or shaded, on some of the very pretty
lace canvases SO easily procurable in
most fancy shops. The sort of articles
best suited for this work are sachets,
cushion covers, table centers, night
dress cases, etc.
The lace canvas on which many ex-
amples has been worked Is ecru in
color and somewhat stiff
Care should be taken never to let
your ribbon, be 1t wide or narrow, get
twisted.
Especially IL the whole of the can
vas is not threaded with cross lines of
ribbon, 1t is necessary to line your
work with suitable color to show un-
der 1t.

Doilies as thin as gossamer are now
being used with crystal glasses and
dainty china. The latest importations
of these are fine as cobwebs. Each
disk is embroidered with the finest
linen floss, and while the pattern
seems to cover the bit of tissue it by
no means gives it thick look. The

ished on the edge with tiny en-

Don't Wrap II Up.

There are a good many housekeep-

it should instead be set on a frame
so that the air may circulate all
around it until cool, then be put away
