How TO Danish
Wrinkles Quickly

If the average woman only knew it,
it is not at all difficult to preserve the
youthful contour and velvety smooth
ness of complexion. Every woman hates
to see her face wrinkled or baggy, and
practically every one has eXpe rimented
with some sort of patent remedy in the
effort either to remove such condition
or ward il off.
AS a matter of fact, the most effect
i've remedy in the world is one that
any woman can easily make UP herself
at home, in a moments time. Let her
take one ounce of pure powdered saXo-
lite, which she can purchase at any
drug store, and dissolve it in half
pint of witch hazel. Apply this harm
less and refreshing solution to the
face every day. The results are sur
prising-and Instantaneous Even after
the very first application a marked i'm
proVement is apparent The wrinkles
are less in evidence and the face has a
comfortable SNUG feeling of firmness
that is most delightful. adv.

Palmer Answers Todd

Sunburv, Oct. ia reply from A.
Mitchell Palmer to the statement made
IN the newspapers by former Attorney
General NJ. Hampton Todd, denouncing
Congressman Palmer as a "relative'
free trader and calling upon Pennsyl-
vanians to support Senator Penrose as
a protectionist, was made last night
by the Democratic candidate for Unit
ed States Senator.
Before an audience in the Twelfth
Regiment Armory and several hundred
persons left standing in the rear of the
big hall, Congressman Palmer repudat-
ed IN vigorous terms the imputation
that he was a free trader, and as in
previous speeches pointed out how
helpless Senator Penrose would be in
Democratic Senate to bring back a
highly protective tariff, even if he
should be reelected.
Penrose alleged influence in the
Highway Department of Pennsylvania
was taken up by Mr.. Palmer. his
charges against Penrose and Highway
Commissioner Bigelow forming Count
81 in his arraignment of Senator
Penrose.

COFFEE CAUSES stomach
TROUBLE and OLD ACE
Physician Says It Interferes With
Digestion and Hastens Death by
Hardening Arteries

Among other physiological effects of
coffee drinking it is found that this
beverage with its drug, caffeine, is one
of the causes of premature old age, ac-
cording to DR.. j. H. Kellogg, of the
Battle Creek Sanitarium. He says:
"The evil effects of coffee on all per
sons of whatever age may be briefly
summed up as follows:
First, the fannie acid in coffee in
terferes with digestion.
Second, the caffeine of coffee is a
nerve poison.
Third, the effects produced are sim
liar to those of alcohol. When long
used, the result is damage to the poi
son destroying glands, particularly the
thyroid gland, liver and the Kidneys,
as a result hardening of the arteries
and premature old age All medical
authorities forbid the use of caffeine or
coffee to persons whose arteries are
hardened or who have high blood pres
sure. This condition is always present
in elderly people
Coffee is particularly bad for young
children, because the thyroid gland and
other Notwithstanding glands are not
vet well developed Any intelligent
parent would not permit child to use
.offee."

and between us maybe we can have
some flowers"
So the cheerful little Japanese sun
flower smiled and set to growing.
Every day, from 10 till 2, the SUN
shone on the plant, and every day
the roots grew stronger and the
stems grew taller.
But the golden rod grew, too
never was there such tall golden rod!
And the poor little sunflower was
completely hidden.
One day in late September the gar
dener went round behind the golden
rod to hunt for weeds.

isn't that sunfiower plant-I'd forgot
ten all about it. It's had hard time
back here in the shade. | guess I'll
move ii. next year, for it won't bloom
before frost at this rate"
"Oh, DEAR" shivered the sunfow-
err" SIS it time for frost? l wanted
so much to open my buds-they are
nearly ready now"
The kind old sun heard the sun
flower and said, Don't you worry a
minute. I'm going to shine warmly
for few days yet and you can open
your flower buds"
So the sun shone warm and cheer
full, the warm winds blew the frost
away and the sunhower worked very
hard.
At last, on warm October day, the
first sunny bloom opened. And then
another and another, till the whole
bush was covered with miniature
suns.
And the kind old sun smiled down
and said, Now just look at those
blooms-we did that by working to-

GOOD TASTE IN FURNISHING

Wall Paper Dignified and Floor Has
Few Rugs, Well Placed.
THIS period room is an example OF
good taste in furnishing. The wall
paper Is restful and digniied, while
the floor. oil-fnished, shows the decided
advantage OF a few rugs well placed
Even the most hopeless floor can be
made attractive with the use of filler
and one of the many excellent finishes on
the market, at the cost of few dollars
and little work. The rag rugs, which
are SO appropriate with old furniture,
may be purchased from 80 cents up to
several dollars for the small Sizes
Braided rugs, too, are charming with
mahogany furniture and may be easily
made at home. Our great-grandmothers
always used odds and ends rugs, and the
cretonne curtains that you are tired of
or faded little can be used most effi-
GENTLY in this way.
The double doors of the closets in this
room offer opportunities for many ar
rangements of drawers and shoe or hat
boxes. The mahogany chest of drawers
OF Sheraton style appeals to the lover of
a nice old piece, while the four-poster,
with Its old handmade spread, is very
appropriately dressed. There has been
decided eye to comfort shown in the ar
rangement of the bedside table, with it's
reading light. clock and favorite books,
while the pictures are placed evidently
from sentimental point of view. The
cretonne cover on the old chair, of course,
must match the curtains to finish this
well-balanced ROOM
