HOW TO HANG THINGS

There is not much excuse for wrinkles.
nowadays, if we take advantage of all
the devices on which to hang our clothes
The folding hangers, packed in a little
leather case, solve the problem of hang
ers for the traveller. These are made in
various styles, but all of them are good
If the closet room is small make the
most of it by having a bar placed on
which the hangers can be hung OF
course the sort of hangers used must
have hooks big enough to get over the
bar. The bar can be bought-sometimes
it is made of nickel. A broom handle is
quite satisfactory. The broom. of course,
| must be sawed off. and the handle Sc
cured firmly at each end to the closet
walls, lengthwise of the closet A bar
three feet long will accommodate at least
dozen frocks and coats on hangers
An emergency peg for the camper can
be made from elothespin. Saw off two
prongs of the pin, leaving just the knobby
head-two or three inches long. Through
the middle of the end of the knob drive
a long, strong wire nail, longer than the
piece Of clothespin. Fasten this securely
in a board the wall-and you have
a peg that will not tear the things hung
on it.
Some dainty new clothes hangers are
these: Two little clamps. to clamp over
the band of a skirt, or over the rim of
the inside of the seam of the bodice are
fastened to two pieces Of ribbon, each six
or eight inches long. Sometimes, to give
additional strength, these ribbons are dou-
BILE. At the other end of each ribbon is a
little bone ring which is to hang over d
peg. The two rings hung over diff
ferent pegs. and so hold in shape the
skirt or frock attached to the clamps.
For the thin lingerie frock or waist a
scented hanger is delightful. Any of the
cheap hangers can be covered, first with
wadding in which the scent is sprinkled.
and then with figured lawn or with silk
A good way to cover "A scented hanger is
first to put on /, silk or satin cover, and
over that to put a lawn cover which is in
two parts, like two slips TO so over the
two ends. fastened about the middle of
the hanger with ribbons run through the
hens. This slip cover can be washed to
keep the hanger fresh and clean.

AN INCESSANT Cough.
Continued Dropping of Mucus
into my Threat.

IA severe cough is always a grave
symptom. 1t may not indicate or
ganic disease of the lungs. Even
though the cough Is a functional dis
turbance it is of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping of mucus from the
back part of the nose into the throat
Indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on a long time before the
4 patient pays any attention to 1t. II
is stated on good authority that n1u-
Gus dropping into the throat in this
way is apt to excite catarrh of the
stomach At any rate, the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bourland, of Frankston, Texas,
found after using Peruna that not
only did the incessant cough disap-
pear, but the dropping of mucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read
what she says:
"For twenty three years I was a
constant sufferer from chronic ca
tarrh. I had a severe misery and
burning in the top of my head. There
was almost continual dropping OF
mucous into my throat, which caused
frequent expectoration. My entire
system gradually became involved,
and my condition grew worse. had
an incessant cough and frequent at
tacks Of bilious collie, from which it
seemed / could not recover. My
bowels also became affected. causing
alarming attacks Of hemorrhages.
II tried many remedies, which gave
only temporary relief, or no relief at
ell. I at last tried Peruna. and IN
three days was relieved of the bowel
arrangement. After using five bottles
IL was entirely cured.
II most cheerfully recommend the
use of Peruna to any one similarly
afflicted"
People who object TO liquid meoi-
zines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

Notify u. S.

After making strong representations
through the British and French min
listers at Quito and Bogota, the Brit
ish and French governments consid-
cred the matter serious enough to
communicate to the United States
government in view of possible compli-
cations that might arise between CO.
lombia and Ecuador and the European
belligerents.
Two notes were presented to Secre-
tary Bryan by Sir Cecil Spring Rice,
the British ambassador, and Jules
the French ambassador, re-
spectively The notes do not request
that the United States take any ac-
ton, merely advising the Washington
government of their correspondence
with the South American states.
The notes cited no specific violations
but expressed the hope that Ecuador
and Colombia would be impressed with
the value Of maintaining strict neu-
trality, in which the United States
had given SO signal an example.
High officials of the Washington gov
eminent said that the notes were
phrased in such way as not to re-
quire reply.
Both the ministers from Ecuador
and Colombia, who happened to be at
the state department today volunteered
to Mr.. Bryan denials of the alleged
violations of neutrality. Just what the
infraetions consisted of has not been
made public, but at the French en-
bassy it was said positive proof was
in the hands of the French govern
ment. Similarly the British govern
ment has minute details of the alleged
incidents.
1t is charged by them that the Gal
apagos islands, off the coast of Eeua-
dor, have been used virtually as a
coaling base for German ships and
that wireless stations In both Ecua-
dor and Colombia have been giving
German cruisers news of the where
abouts of the British fleet. In face.
the responsibility for the defeat of the
British cruisers in the battle off the
Chilean coast is laid by the British
officials to some extent TO the doors of
Ecuador and Colombia.
1t was stated by British officials
