FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family the
health of its different members is
most important, and the value of an
agreeable laxative that is certain In
its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is a combination OF
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in its
action on the bowels, yet positive in
its effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels SO that these organs
are able in a short time to again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.OO
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to DR.. w. B. Caldwell,
201 Washington St., Monticello, ILL.,,
and ask for a sample bottle. DR.. Cald-
well will be glad to send it without
any expense to you whatever.

Wells Match Hats.

Plain hexagons of rather heavy
mesh, dotted and fancy fine meshes
and the familiar cobweb or shadow
designs in veilings should not be over
looked by the shopper who needs a
smart finish for her runabout tailored
suit of serge or a smart mixture suit
and simple, natty hat. The veil
should be as nearly as possible the
shade of the hats brim and its trim
mings, and in this instance not an
elaborate detail of the costume. Lace
wells, on the contrary, may be made
a prominent feature of the afternoons
reception costume with which the>
are usually worn and the wisesi
choice in these is a black and white
chantilly. For motoring the newest

in woods of contrasting color like
green on navy, brown on tan or blac'

CURTAINS IN THE BEDROOM
Economy May Be Combined With
Good Taste in the Manner De-
scribed In This Article.

In making curtains for the bedroom
windows you can economic in ma
terial by selecting swiss or scrim the
width of the window. Now measure
off the length you desire the curtains
and cut the material from corner to
corner on the bias. In other wordu,
cut from the lower left-hand corner to
the upper right-hand corner.
To this bias edge apply rufile
either of the material or of coarse
lace.
Finish the joining seam neatly By
stitching a strip of featherstitcbed
braid or a narrow bias fold over the
ruffle and seam edge.
Now finish the broad straight edge
at the top with a hem and narrow
casing, through which is run a tape
the length of the width of the window.
The curtains are then shirred over
the tape or small brass rods and at
tached to the windows.
Drape them to each side of the win
dow with ribbons or cotton cords,
and you will have pair of very good
looking curtains, made from the guam
tity of material generally employed
in making one curtain.

INSTEAD OF DARNING
HOW USEFULNESS OF STOCKINGS
MAY BE PROLONGED.
Does Not Pay to Spend Much Time In

Nursery.

In these halcyon days Of guaranteed
hosiery-at very moderate price, too
1T can be said with emphasis that 1t
does not pay to spend much time
darning stockings. When they have
really begun to give out, the putting
of a whole hour on a large heel hole
is nothing less than wicked. The
sensible householder prefers to put
by the ragged socks and stockings
and to buy new rather than to. spend
on prolOnging the life of couple OF
pairs for two more wearings the time
that would suffice to make a new out
ing shirt or simple tailored waist.
But there is no need to throw old
black stockings in the rag bag for
want of ways to use them. First OF
all, well worn black sock is one Of
the best things to be had for use In
sponging off dark clothes with house
hold ammonia or other cleaning fluid.
1t leaves no light colored lint, and is
soft and absorbent to handle. A sup
ply should be always in some conven.
lent place II the men OF the household
have way of wearing black or dark
blue suits for everyday.
Woven rag carpet is no longer a
thing despised. Through the winter
many home lovers return to the old
fashion of sewing carpet rags, to be
woven into serviceable rugs for nur-
sery and sitting room, as well as for
the furnishing of the summer bunga.
low. The touch of black is most desir-
able to set off the brighter stripes,
and for this purpose old black stock
ings cut around and round in spiral
fashion, or as an apple is peeled, to
make long strip, will be found use
full to the very toe.
One notable housewife uses stock

floors and wipes up with as they are

Wherefore, save the old stockings.

Homemade VINEGAR.

Save all your apple parings and put
in crock or granite pan and cover with
water, let stand few days, then
strain through thin cloth. A large
salt sack will do-and squeeze, but
not hard enough so the parings will
come through. Rinse all your syrup
pals and pitchers and put in the
juice, or you can put in little brown
sugar. Then set where 1t is warm
and let work. If you will have any
mother from old vinegar put that in,
but it will make it's own mother. This
makes good vinegar and saves buying
