FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

Il is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains a drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found in teal

SULPHUR HARMFUL

Lard Grease Alone Is Quite e.
feCtiNe in Destroying Head
Lice on Youngsters.
CBy A. J. LEGG)

1t has twice come under my OBJ
servation that sulphur and grease
used upon young chicks to kill head
lice killed the chicks also.
Only a few days ago a woman mix
cd sulphur with hogs lard and creased
under the wings of hens that we're en-
trusted with the brooding OF 40 young
chicks.
The grease and sulphur killed all
but one Of the young chicks.
Lard without sulphur is quite as eff,
eetive in destroying the head lice,
and 1t should be applied carefully and
in small quantities.
The lice cannot live in grease, and
die almost as soon as the grease
touches them. Two or three apph
cations are sufficient to rid brood
effectually Of head lice.
The applications should be a weeh
or ten days apart.

all kinds of wonderful novelties in the

effective with any color veil. Sew II

Everything nowadays, except lace
and jewels, seems to be perishable in
very short space. Tulle, chiffon, silk
velvets and taffetas MORE have no
stamina, and even furs are dressed
and cut about to such an extent that
they are utterly fragile. And yet, with
all this, we are progressing toward
common sense in our way of dressing.

pinch our toes, it is very bad taste to
