SICK HEADACHE
Pinklets, the New Laxative, Gives
Quick Relief in Most Cases.

As rule sufferer from sick headache
can tell hours in advance when an at
tack is coming on.
The trouble is caused by a gradual accu.
mutation of poison generated in the di-
gestive organs and when certain point
is reached this poison produces nausea
and the attack follows.
In very many cases the use of proper
laxative before the condition of prostra-
ton is reached will force the poisons from
the system and the attack will be avoided.
Pinklets are a dainty laxative, tiny,
sugar-coated granules that arouseno feel
ing of repulsion, and they act so gently
that they are the ideal laxative to use in
correcting tendency to sick headache.
They do not upset the digestion, do not
grippe and have no unpleasant effect to
make them Objectionable to the extra
sensitive sick-headache patient. Old
fashioned, harsh purgatives will not do
at all in such cases. For complete infor-
nation regarding the treatment of sick
headache send TO the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, n. y, for the
Pinklet book. 1t is free.

Time-saving Sewing Hints.

Much time may be saved in hemstitch-
ing tucks on the machine. Pull threads
as usual, haste tuck little back OF line
of hemstitching, and stitch on machine
exactly along the edge OF tuck where
threads have been pulled. Take out
basting and when goods is folded back
the bemstitching can readily be taken
for hand work. Use a trife coarser
thread and longer stitch on the machine.
This method of hemstitchhing is only
satisfactory where your goods can be
doubled as for a tuck. It does not look
well where hens are used, as one is not
sure Of catching the edge of the hem.
When one wants sleeves set in with
hemstitched appearance or a yoke, ete,,
loosen the tension of machine making
loose stitch, Use piece OF blotting
paper, and, having two seam edges to-
gether proceed to sew through both
goods and blotting paper. Tear paper
away and pull back edge of goods, make
narrow hem on each side, and you will
have what appears to be hemstitching
between.

Making the Garden a Hobby.

In order to obtain the greatest
amount of pleasure and satisfaction from
country home, one should give much
personal thought and supervision to its
care. You can pay landscape gardener,
and have the entire place laid out at
once, without trouble on your part. But
by so doing, you viii miss one of the
Joys of suburban life. No two places
are situated exactly alike. Here are four
simple rules that can be easily remem-
bered Have open lawn space, put trees
and shrubbery along boundary lines,
make backgrounds for hardy borders,
and place flower beds along walks and
driveways. When things do not turn
out satisfactory, changes are easily
made by transplanting the next season.
To concentrate ones efforts, each year,
on particular portion of the grounds,
on or a special bed, and do the work
thoroughly, will bring about much bet
ter results than trying TO do hurriedly
everything at ONCE. Plant trees one by
one, as they are particularly desired
Try to have the place looking handsom-
er each successive year. Try to obtain
more and better flowers, and an increase
of vegetables from the same amount of
ground, by reading recent books and
magazines on the subject. In fact, make
a hobby of your garden. 1t will bring
to you health and happiness while, at
the same time, You are making the most
of suburban place.-Suburban Life

Two Personal Injury Suits
Before Supreme
Court
NORTH CAROLINA
DECISIONS REVERSED
Another Case Under En-
ployers' Liability
Law

Washington, April 2S.-Railroads won
two important points in personal injury
suits yesterday in the supreme court
The court decided that where the fed
eral employers liability law of 1908
makes the railroads absolutely liable if
they are violating claw" at the time
an employee is injured, the word 'law'
meant federal and not state law
The court set aside judgment of $500
rendered by the supreme court of North
Carolina in favor of James L. Horton,
an engineer on the Seaboard Air Line.
The court also decided that man,
injured while engaged in switching in
trastate cars does not come within the
federal employers liability act simply
because the next thing he intended to
do was an act of interstate commerce.
As result of this decision the court
held that John Brheens, a fireman of
New Orleans, was not entitled to re-
cover from the Illinois Central.
The supreme court yesterday an
nounced it would hear oral argument of
no cases after May 8, unless the state
of the docket showed at that time that
more cases could be heard.

TWO ROADS WILL
BE INVESTIGATED
Probe in the Affairs of the Rock Island
and Pere Marquette Is Or
dered.

Washington, April 2s-The interstate
commerce commission announces that 1t
has instituted two proceedings of in
quiry and investigation, one relating to
the Pere Marquette Railroad company
and the other to the Chicago, Rock Is
land and Pacific Railway company. Rep
resentative Cramton of Michigan in
troduced in the House resolution pro-
viding for an investigation such as has
been ordered by the commission into
the affairs OF the Pere Marquette, and
Representative Green of Iowa introduced
a similar resolution providing for an in
vestigation of the affairs of the Rock
Island and affiliated companies. The
commission says,
"These resolutions were referred to
the commission by the House commit
tee with view to determining whether
the commission could conduct these inves-
LEGATIONS through its division of physi-
cal valuation, thereby saving a dupli-
cation of labor As a result of the con-
ferences had with the commission, the
House committee, instead of recommend
ing the passage of the revolutions by
the House of Representatives, requested
the commission to proceed with them as
part of the work of physical valua-
tion, and the Investigations were accord
ingly instituted.
Both of the roads mentioned have
been the subject of some public crit
icism, and it is understood that the reso-
buttons and the proposed investigations
are deemed to be matters of consider
able public Importance by the House
committee. The commissioner proposes
to make a thorough investigation in
each instance, viii take up the work at
an early date, and will prosecute it to
completion as rapidly as may be pos
sible in connection with the other i'm

To keep sponges in good condition do

The soap should be rinsed out of them
at once after use. Whenever possible
sponges should be hung up to air and
not left lying in damp conditions.
A far more healthful practice than
taking medicine continually is the use
of laxative fruits in ones food. Figs,
dates, etc, also fresh fruits and green
vegetables can be got in such variety as
to appeal to the appetite no matter how

nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert

trial of strength, and when it is over

which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain

There is nothing more charming than
