WHEN YOUR LIVER GOES WRONG

Nearly Everybody Needs a Liver Stim,
uant at One Time or Another.
Nearly everybody now and then is
annoyed with sluggish, lazy liver OF
by constipation or by biliousness.
1t is for this reason that Dodson s
Liver Tone is such a good medicine to
keep always in the house,
Either children or grown-ups can
take Dodson's Liver Tone without bad
after effects and without restriction of
habit or diet. 1t is a vegetable liquid
with a pleasant taste, but a reIiever Of
constipation and liver troubles, and en-
tirely takes the place of calomel
S. L. Raines drug store guarantees
every bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone
they sell. 1t costs so cents per bottle
and if you are not satisfied that it is
worth the money, they will hand your
half dollar back to you with a smile.
Don't be fooled by preparations imi-
tating the claims Of Dodson's Liver
Tone. Just remember S. l.. Raines
will give you back your money if Dod-
sons Liver Tone fails you. That is a
guarantee that guarantees. adv

MERITS OF THE VEIL.

He is a daring man who, in this
age Of feminism, ventures to criticize
ANYTHING that women wear or do. OF
course, for thousands OF years lay.
men have made merry and clergy
men and prophets have solemnly de-
nounced the fashions of women,
their tinkling ornaments about their
feet and their cauls, and their round
tires like the moon, the chains and
bracelets and the mufflers, the bon
nets and the ornaments of the legs
Geweled garters, of course,) and the
head bands and the tablets and the
errinEs, the rings and nose jewels,
the changeable suits of apparel and
the mantles and the wimples and the
crispng pins, the glasses and the fine
linen and the hoods and the wells,
Sir John Cockburn, however, dares to
attack the popular veil, but with fine
cunning he seeks to cajole the wom-
en- out of its use by flattery saying
that there is nothing more beautiful
than the face divine, says the Phila-
deIphia Record. He can't fool them
BY any such trick as that. The taste
In facial decoration is very much the
same in Paris and in Tahiti, but in the
former there is a shrinking from pain
which makes it impossible to use the
decorating of tattooing, which will not
fade or wash off. All the beautiful
effects of tattooing, the pictures of ami
mails. the imitation of wounds, the in
trtcate set figures, can be obtained
temporarily by the figured veil; and a
taste in personal adornment which is
identical with that Of the South Sea
islanders can be INDUCED without
pain and with the additional advant-
age Of an easy change of decorations
by the use of wells with figures woven
in.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

If you dampen your brush and pass it through your hair two or three times week, it will prevent super f1uous greaeiness.
 Wallpaper can be cleaned by mak- Ing paste of, whitening Lay it thick on the marks, allow it to dry. then brush off.
 If washing for repainting use nc soap, but wash with asoda and water. IT soap is used, the new paint will not dry so quickly.
 Half a lemon squeezed into glass of warm water and drank before breakfast is said to be good for the complexion.
 Linen can be rendered non-inham- mab1e by washing it in solution of two ounces of alum dissolved in gal Ion of water.
 To clean gilt frames, moisten a small sponge with spirits of wine or oil of turpentine. Do not use the sponge too wet.
 It is best to iron underwear on the wrong side. This makes the surface smooth, and it will not be apt to ir- ritate the skin.
 When making apple jelly, put a rose geranium leaf in the bottom of each glass. It will give a delicious flavor to the jelly.

You may or you may not like it, but at some time in her life, every woman finds use for perfume. It is the wise woman who simply uses it without abusing it.
 Properly applied. perfume has an indescribable charm. I do not doubt but Eve spent, some of her leisure hours distillingl. the scented drops from some Paradise flower. I think that most people agree that an extrav- agant use of it is poor taste, and for the most part American women sell dom err in this respect.
 The Italian races, that at one time were over-zealous in the use of per fumery, now regard it as health de- stroying. In Paris, no chic or fash fonab1e woman is without her individ- ual scent. Generally this is prepar- ed for her own personal and exclu- sfve use, and it is considered very good form to invent ones own formu- la. I know of one Parisian actress whose perfume is a constant source of envy to her friencs@and she prepares it herself Nfn a sealed laboratory, fin great secrecy.

 It is true that you do not use it to excess-but you use it carelessly.z Y ou are apt to mix your scents, thus de- stroying the beauty of them all. It is far better taste to select some per fume that pleases you and goes with your personality, and then stick to this one. Keep your .sachet, your bath powder. your soap and your tot- let water and perfume all in this same scent Use sachet and powder rath- CT than the liquid. It is more deli cate.
