SKIN ERUPTioNs
Evidence of Impure Blood and a Rum
 Down Condition.

Down Condition.
 When the blood becomes thin, poor, devitalized nature cries out through such external evidence for help, and the safest, surest and most helpful remedy we know is Vinol.
 This is because it is a combina- tion of the two most world famed tonics-the medicinal curative ele- ments of cod liver oil (without the oiD and tonic iron for the blood. Vii mol strengthens the digestive organs, creates a hearty appetite, purifes and enriches the blood, creates strength.
 Mrs Helen Wingate, St. Louis, Mo, says: T was in very poor health nervous, and run- down, and nothing in the way of medicine did me any good until my druggist recommended Vinol, It built up my health, re- stored strength and feel that I owe my life to Vinol. I cannot praise it too highly
 We say positively there is nothing like Vinol to purify and enrich the blood and build up weak. run down people. If it should fail in your case we will return your money. Broadway Pharmacy. G. G. Engler. Norwich, Conn.

Suggested Trolley channs

While changes are being made on the trolley line uptown it has been suggested that the Falls car from Franklin square, instead of having a. long wait at Hospital corner, make the run to Wightman's switch, a mile above. A large area would be bene- fited by a fifteen minute service. In the vicinity of Nightmare switch are two mills. and business men. who go daily to shops and stores downtown At one corner near a dozen leave the gar at every trip and go in different nirections to their homes. In sum mer more frequent trips would do sway with the crowding of the up- town line

DRIFTS FROM THE NURSERY
Modern Children More Analytical
Than Those Of the Past-Hlnts
for the Mother Of Little Ones.

Children are gowing more critical.
They demand practice as well as
preaching from their parents. and are
not put OF with platitudes.
Time was when patriarchal pro-
file, a snowy beard, and certain facil-
ity an freedom In quoting Scripture
were more than enough to impress a
whole family with due sense Of what
it owed to the head of the house.
Something more is needed nowadays.
and the mother or father who wishes
to maintain the love and respect Of
the modern child must conform to a
very high standard indeed. They
are no longer allowed to shield their
shortcomings behind the Fifth Com
mandment.
Very serviceable and economical
bibs can be made out OF the medium
sizer Turkish towel. Cut it into
halves, and then divide each half
again. making in all four pieces. Cut
the plain edges of each in semi
circular form for the neck. bind these
with tape, leaving strings long enough
to tie easily. Outline the bibs with
cross stitch In red cotton and they
are ready for use.

CREPE De CHINE THE BEST
its Durability and softness Make II
Ideal Material for Underwear for
Economical Woman.

The softness of crepe gives one a
chance to pack good many garments
In small space without adding extra
weight to ones luggage. Two or three
suits can be carried in a valise aad
take up only the corners of a suit
case. When one travels with such un-
derwear one does not find 1t a hope
less mass OF wrinkles at the end of
the journey. For whatever wrinkles
crepe de chine takes are easily shak-
en- out.
1t is to the womaL who must be
economical and who has very little
time at her disposal for mending and
renewing lace and embroidery that
these garments should appeal. Every
woman knows what the iron does to
lace. The damage must be repaired
each week, and keeps one constantly
at the needle OF course. the elabor-
ate crepe de chine garments for eve
ming wear are lace trimmed and there
fore are subject to the same disad-
vantage. but the everyday ones have
only bit of cluny at the neck and
armholeJ. and they go on for weeks
without needing a stitch.
Nothing is SO extravagant as the
reckless purchase of cheap under
wear and that Ia one of our natioral
sins. Women who should know bet
ter indulge themselves In masses of
fIimsy finery that does not last and
looks tawdry after its first journey to
the tub. Under the influence of SOAP
and water 1t loses whatever prettiness
1t had and besides this its stitches are
meant to last through day instead
o. through year.
