Little Bandboxes.

sion.
They are intended for button boxes
or for hooks and eyes; they will do
for pens OF for stamps in the writing
desk
Daintiness is the first requisite, and
care in the making will bring that
desired result With library paste the
box is first covered with white wa
ter color paper. just as the old wall
paper was glued upon the bonnet box
After the cover is dry, gay bouquets
| of oId-fashioned flowers are sketched
upon the surface and tinted with wa

Through a slit made in each side
Of the box with a penknife there is
run a ribbon to match the flowers,
and this is tied up over the lid to
hold 1t in place.

Value of PercaIe.

Not every woman appreciates the
qualities of pure white percale for
summer gowns. This fabric is much
used by trained nurses for lightweight
uniforms which may be Numbered to
spic and spanness with much less
labor than linen requires. Percale is
also cooler than linen and is much
lighter in weight It may be trimmed
with stitching and buttons in very
smart style. A young woman who al
ways looks as though she had stepped
out of a bandbox always wears white
percaIe frocks in summer time. A
loose blouse with an open collar is
trinity belted above a short, straight
skirt. and buttoned boots of white

Agricultural

kTO branch of the United States gov

Of the people as the department of
agriculture, which deals with the cot

which our houses are built
The closeness Of the relation be-

Is in great measure due to the fact
that the use which is made of agri-
cultural products receives as much
attention as their production, and the

To Revive Flowers.

The fashion for wearing the small
compact nosegays, with their hold
ers OF lace paper, is pretty one.
Many women despair Of the fact that
flowers quickly fade when worn By
them.
An amateur gardener conided the
secret which kept her bunch Of VIC
lets fresh during an entire evening.
The simple method was this:
About the stem Of the. bouquet had
been wrapped a piece OF waxed sand
witch paper and tied with string
Over this was placed the tinfo1
used for flowers.
They kept beautifully fresh, and
this fact is well worth knowing Dc

CAREFUL DOCTOR

It takes considerable courage for
doctor to deliberately prescribe only

they are and should be treated, re-

Here's an instance:
-Four years ago I was taken with
severe gastritis and nothing would
stay on my stomach, so that I was on
the verge of starvation.
81 heard of doctor who had a sum-
mer cottage near me-a specialist
from n. Y-and as a last hope, sent
for him.
After he examined me carefully
he advised me to try a small quantity
Of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my
stomach became stronger to eat more.
81 kept at it and gradually got so l
could eat and digest three teaspoon
fuls. Then 1 began to have color in
my face, memory became clear, where

limbs got stronger and I could walk.

FROM AGED MAN

Denver, Colo, Nov. 80, --- Mrs.
Annie Thompson was granted di-
yorce, today, from her aged and
wealthy husband, Alonzo Thompson,
by Judge Allen on charges of descr-
tion and non-support. The decree
carried with it an allowance of
$l25,000 permanent alimony and
$4,000 attorneys fees, Todays de-
cree was tho elimination of half a
dozen suits and cost suits, filed in the
last six months.
Thompson, who is an octogenar-
ian, claims TO have accumulated a
fortune estimated at more than ST..
/ 100000, in the last twenty years, by
following the advice given by his
fathers spirit. Last July he left
Denver claiming to have learned

wife's son was thought to have been
placed in an asylum because of his
spiritual belief.

REPEAT HIS ANNUAL VISIT To THE CRIlDRENS HOME

In pursuance of its annual Gus
tom The Bulletin will inaugurate
Tuesday, Dee. q three weeks cam

the Cairo Childrens Home, the sum
so collected to be presented as a
Christmas gift toward the maintCn.
ancc of the institution and its in
mates during 1913.
The emphatic success attending
the fund subscribed last year wheA
the donations by public spirited and
charitably inclined citizens of Cairo
and vicinity amounted to the mu-
niticent sum of $1,S75 which served
to support the institution during
the year of 1912, thus obviating the
necessity of constantly importuning
citizens to make contributions to-
ward the maintenance of the Home.
The Board Of Managers has thereby
been relieved from what was gener-
ally considered an irksome task and
no one appreciates this more than
the members of the board.
The plan that The Bulletin Will
pursue this year in obtaining dona-
tions for a Christmas gift is tho
placing in the possession of the
Board of Managers of the Home
some 1000 subscription blanks
which the managers will distribute
in Cairo business houses, mills and
