Scorched Silk and Flannel

should like little advice as to whether or not there is a remedy that will remove scorch from white silk and wool flannel &"
 Treat scorch as you would any other stain, unless it has burned into the threads and weakened the stuff Wet With Javelle water, wait 10 minutes and rinse with clear water. Lay in the sun, and If there remain some token of the stain, repeat the process. Leave in the sun all day the second time, wetting hourly with strong cream of tartar solu- tion. I have effaced the most stubborn stains in this way. Be sure to rinse out the javelle water within 10 minutes after applying it. Then there is no danger of injuring the fabric.

 Recently I happened in where she chanced to be. and moving to make room for me on the divan which she was occu- pying she said:
 Come, look at a picture in this maga- zine! I've been studying it for an hour and I'm terribly interested in it.

 Advice Proves Blessing

Toyah, Texas.-"For about eight years" says Mrs. R. A. Casey of this place, T suffered with womanly troubles. SA-I &had pains all over, and was so ner- vous at times I could hardly stand it to live. I had spells, when 1 would be in bed several days at the time.
 I had about given up and thought l would always have to suffer. At this time a friend asked me to please try Car dui the woman's tonic, and I did. I have taken nine bottles and it cured me I feel well and strong, and have not been sick at all for nearly a year.
 Cardui is certainly boon to suffering women. do not think I would be alive without it. shall certainly say a good word for Cardui every chance I have, for wish every suffering woman could know about Cardui and what it can do for her"
 In the light of this experience you may we'll decide that no matter from what form of womanly trouble you may be suffering-and all women suffer at times--it will benefit you to take Car dui. the womans tonic
 It has been found to gently strengthen, regulate and build, and thus, in a nat ura1 manner, restore weak women to health.
 Try Cardui It will surely help you.

 On closer inspection of the picture you detect in Mrs. Young Husbands eyes a far-away look as though she were busily engaged in flaming the flame of self martyrdom
 The point was obvious.
 Mir Young Husband was cruelty indif- ferent, else why should he want to read the paper at such a time?
 Mrs. Young Husband was distinctly bored because the pale blue atmosphere she created in her listless chiffons and laces caused no ripple at the other end of the table which preferred to wrap itself up in a perfectly commonplace old newspaper filled up with all sorts of old horrid business affairs.
 Well" I questioned handing the mag azine bac kto it's owner who looked at me from a pair of the loveliest brown eyes I ever beheld-made all the more beauti- full because of struggling tear drop or two.
 How wonderful, Brown Eyes said as she pointed to the affecting scene in the picture, that artist could perceive the hidden wound of a woman's heart"
 I inspected the picture again and shook my head, and declared that I failed to see it she did
 You don't see the cause of the woman S heart?' she gasped. Why, it's plain enough.
