SO strong that they really preferred t.

per cent. of the entire population Of
the United States are afflicted with
Kidney or bladder trOuble. In the
last seven years bloodine has cured
96 per cent of the cases that have been
treated with 1t.
Hundreds of cases of hemorrhagC Of
the bladder have been cured after
treatment in some of the leading hos
ital% have failed to even relieve the
patient. We are therefore confident
that our theory of treating these cases
with bloodine, is the only possible
manner in which such a large per-
centage of cases can be cured, that
we do not hesitate to guarantee the
efficiency of bloodine.
Mr.. Hanson, the business manager,
of the Postai telegraph and Gable

in the bladder removed with six and
one-half bottles of bloodine, after be

it could possibly be removed was by
an operation. We stand ready to fur

More than five million bottles OF
bloodine were sold in America last
year. Can there be any greater oNi-
dence of merit than this unparalleled
sale OF a scientific product. No otAc.
product has ever met with such as

PAPER BAGS ARE HERE TO STAY

The paper bag as a cooking utensil has been tried by many and found wanting. but this fact is argued by writer in Health. Culture to reflec! less on the paper bag than on. the user who has had an unfortunate ex- perience. Patience and intelligent ex- perimenting is advised for the house. keeper who would find the good that undoubtedly lies in this new art We are all. I think, convinced that the food has a better flavor and meats are more juicy says the writer in Health Culture 'There is practically no loss in food value. good point to consider when high prices seem to confront us most of the time. But even after we are as- sured of all this, I am going to tell you the very best talking point with women. It is a fact that it saves washing pots and pans, and with this system of cooking cleanliness is as- sured. The microbe has no resting place; clean bag is ready, used and thrown into the fire. We need not deny it., and to be honest with our selves, this is the big. vital thing which interests the housekeeper in paper bag cookery. It would not be permanent, however, if it did not cook the food well. This is what we have been waiting and praying for for years It has arrived, and we are welcoming the bags and saying good- by to pans, we hope forever Meat. fish. fowl, most vegetable puddings. fruits, fruit cakes and many other things which I feel quite sure but have not had time nor opportunity to try, are all better for being cooked in these paper bags

cH1RPING vs. JINGLING.

A flock of starlings has again de- scended upon a New Jersey town, lighting on trees in it's residential sec tion, and by their constant chirping keeping it's inhabitants awake nights About the same time last year a sim liar visit by the birds was made, and the peace of the community was dis turbed. It will be remembered that an official of the town endeavored to rid the community of the birds by the use of few bird shot but these arose such hue and cry from Audubons ali over the country, even from those thousand miles from the Jersey town, who no doubt never, heard the chatter of so many birds, that the of- ficial desisted and allowed the birds to remain, to the disgust of the dis turbed inhabitants. This year one of the disturbed rigged an electric bell in the trees which keeps jingling all night, so as to frighten the birds away, but the rest of the community would rather have the chatter of the birds than the jingling of the bells. as they are constantly getting cup to answer phone calls. If some of these obJecting Audubons were forced to live in this Jersey community and have their sleep disturbed these hot nights, they would no doubt wish the starlingS were on some Women's hats instead of in the trees disturbing their slumbers.-The Millinery Trade Re view

ARE YOU ACQUAINTED WITH
 ANY. BORES LIKE THIS ?

Tn story by Mary Stewart Cutting in the September Woman's Home Com panion appears the following charac- teriZation of man who made himself a nuisance by always trying to be fun ny.
 MT Brentwood was we'll born, well educated, and successful in affairs He had. in the eyes of his family but one fault: he had a masculine sense of humor of homely, almost rural type at which his family winced uncontrol- lably. Mrs. Brentwood, even from the earliest days of theih marriage, had been wont to emplore her Theodore when they were expecting company, not to be funny
 Certain jokes or mannerisms of his at the table were of daily occurrance Hardly noticed any more when they were alone, they sprung into startling prominence when there were guests. He always said People come from miles around to hear us drink soup. He jovialy inquired if he might 'bor- row the butter or if Ellen, the wait ress, could spare him another slice of bread He made puns on the vegeta- bles, and he had the habit of looking with sudden suspicion at any dish

THE SUFFRAGE CREED

To the Editor of The Sun-Sir: A Confession of Faith and asks a creed of other parties. Here is the suffrage creed:
 believe in votes for women. I believe there is nothing mysterious about politics
 I believe that politics today is civic housekeeping
 I believe that the old idea of politics must change.
 I believe a vote is. the only language which legislators heed
 I believe that a voteless woman is a speeches. advocate or protestant.
 I believe in government of, by and for the people, and that women are people.
 I believe that it is my business to see that laws for better home making are secured and enforced.
 I believe that it is my business as a woman living in this year of grace 1912 thoroughly to inform myself on such matters.
 I believe that as I contribute to the general fund by paying taxes on all I eat and wear I should have some say in the spending of it.
 I believe that 1t is not honorable for me to expect to gain my wishes IuIOuSH lnulTeCt influence, that IS, aL the expense of another person s wishes
 I believe that inasmuch as equal suffrage has proved that it has pre- noted the general welfare in such countries as New Zealand, Australia and six of our own States, we, the wo- men in the remaining forty-two States, will prove ourselves equally public spirited and capable
 I believe that if there were any way Of securing these things other than by voting the world would have found it out, but until it does I believe in votes for women and men.

Certain ancient, inherited anec- dotes could be endured by his wife and children, even if with aching strain, but there was a bath tub story (Mr. Brentwood had in his early boy hood migrated with his parents to what was then the edge of the prairie) beginning mendaciously. 'Yon know we never took baths when I was a boy that though it was amusing, nearly went beyond the pale of refinement, and an awful tooth brush story which positively did. If people laughed at his stories, MT. Brentwood became particularly untrammeled.
 Another common table remark by MT, Brentwood was that he never had any use for potato salad because cold potatoes always reminded him of cold feet. It was also his habit to admon- ish people to eat slowly and distinct ly.' He got this from the old saying Read slowly and distinctly. ,,

THE STOUT WOMAN
 AND HER CORSET.

Tn the September Womap's Home rompanion. Grace Margaret Gould fashion editor of that periodical writes an interesting article entitled Corset Common Sense" Here is what she says about thae fat woman and her corset:

She cannot push t aside. because that only makes 1t he more prominent in a place where if ought not to be- However, there really is a place for all flesh but all flesh must be kept in it's place.

The flesh is adaptable in it's oiace but it is more than perverse and obstinate where it does not be- !ong.

What earthly difference ioes 1t make whether large, we'll 7uilt woman's waist measures twenty six or thirty inches? It is how she ooke in her corest. and howe she feels n it. that counts. Let me tell you fiat the fat woman looks much better in corset an inch or so too large for her, where her fat can sink down into it. rather in a corset two or three inches too small which presses her fat up and out until it appears in many uneightly bulges and bumps. A safe rule to follow is to wear cor set in a size three inches smaller than he vaistband of your dress.
