symptoms must not go unheeded, for
they indicate Indigestion, which will
surely destroy your health and hap
piness.
Prompt and lasting relief for any
stomach distress is simple ineXpen-

harmless Mi-o-na prescription easily
obtained from any druggist

neutralize excess acid, absorb the
poisonous gases and stop fermentation

TEMPER OF CHINA

The women who have the pleas ure of washing and caring for their china are often to be enyied by the women who are al the mercy ot careless maids. Sometimes maids are real affliotions. because they are so careless with the most treasured pieces of china. IL is an instinct with most women to love pretty china, and it is an instinct with many maids to chip fine china through careless handling.
 Yet much of this carelessness can be avoided If certain principles are taken into consideration. The first consideration is the effect of heat and cold on fine china. The reac- ton from heat or cold which often results in cracks can be prevented in most instances by a process call ed tempering.
 When china is first brought into the IOuSt pldCt II III d pan anu cover with cold water. Let the Wa ter gradually come to a boil. take off the stove and let the water cool When cool take out the china, wash and put away. When china is placed in very hot water it eX- bands if it is then immediately exposed to the cold air, contraction occurs and a crack is the result. It seems that this tempering forms a habit of resistance in the china when sudden contraction oucCurs
 When washing fragile china to prevent it from breaking. it is a good idea to place a clean Turkish towel at the bottom of the pan. The housewife should make a busi- ness of visiting the kitchen frequently when the dishwashing is in process as the maid in many instances

TO GET RID OF CREASE.

Every housekeeper knows how diff ficult it is to keep iron utensils clean and sweet. The most careful boiling and scrubbing sometimes fail
 One woman has solved the prob lem by keeping an old boiler in which to boil collections of pots and pans every ten days or two weeks. Several tables poonfuls of washing soda and a good-sized piece of soap are put into the boiler with the pots and pans, which are allow ed to boil for at least half an hour.
 After the utensils are taken from the boiler they are rinsed with fresh hot water and returned to the fire to dry.

TESTING FABRICS.

The University of Wisconsin is offering correspondence course on the subject of fabrics. It suggests an easy way for women to test the quality of silk when they go to buy a dress. Simply take a small sam- pie of the silk and touch a match to it. If it runs together in a sort of puffy mass the silk is pure; if it holds its shape it is adulterated with tin salts or some of the other min erals which are used to increase the weight and body of the textile and which cause it to crack after being worn a short time
