that when the stomach is not acting

of the stomach to properly do its work.

We Know They're Good

Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, in addition
to other ingredients, contain Pepsin and
Bismuth, two great digestive aids used by
the entire medical profession. They
soothe the infamed stomach, check the
heartburn and distress, stimulate
healthy secretion of the gastric juice,
aid in rapid and comfortable digestion
of the food and help to quickly convert
it into rich red blood, and thereby into
flesh, bone and muscle. They relieve
stomach distress promptly, and, used
regularly for a short time, tend to re-
store the stomach to a comfortable,
easy-acting, healthy state. They aid
greatly to promote regular bowel action.

CLING TO LOW WAIST LINE
Noticeable in All the Seasons Child
ish Models-Short Sleeves Re-
tain Their Popularity.

The majority of tie styles for chill
dren which have been displayed thus
far have the low waist line, which is
marked by a sash plated into folds.
Sleeves are short, stopping at the ell
bow in order to display the rounded
dimple which generally turks there.
One unusually pretty model, which
would do very nicely for party dress,
is made of very sheer white batiste.
The neck of the garment is cut square
and at the shoulder, on each side,
there is series of small pin tucks,
which provides the necessary fullness.
The waist line is very low, and deep
ruffle, Joined to the upper portion of
the dress by valenciennes lace insert
ed after the manner of Greek fret
work, forms the lower part of the gar
ment Small clusters of pin tucks
around this skirt ruffie at equal dis
tances furnish the fullness, and a
dainty sash of pink ribbon, which goes
behind the tucks and over the plain
surface of the skirt. Tiny rosettes OF
the same pink ribbon adorn the little
elbow-length sleeves and if desired
one may also be placed on the waist.

IN ALL SHADES OF PETUNIA
Designers Have Worked Wonders
With Materials of Velvet, silk
and Crepe de Chine.

Petunia shades in velvet, silk and
crepe de chine are so alluring that 1t
is small wonder that the petunia cos
tune has become a fad. Because or
the cost of the materials in which
the peculiar purple and red tones are
most perfect, these get-ups are usually
seen at afternoon receptions and at
evening dances. One of the most sue
cessful models is a three-piece cos
tune, consisting of a petunia red
colored silk skirt, blouse, also of the
silk, cut away at the shoulders and
elbows to show round-necked
guimpe in petunia rose malines, and
three-quarter coat in petunia purple
velvet, lined with satin matching the
rose of the malines. The purple velvet
hat carries petunia red ostrich plumes
and the gloves and shoes are in black
suede. This choice of minor acces-
sories is a wise one, for were they in
white, gray or even in glace black,
they would glare at the dull petunia
tones.

ALL
In raising birds for the market spe-
cial fattening has not heretofore been
practiced in this country with any,
thing like the same frequency as in
Europe; but American breeders are
gradually coming to it more and more,
especially on the large poultry farms
which are springing up in many places.
The extreme methods used so much
in France are not, however, consid-
breeders.
Live poultry is very commonly mar
keted, especially In the southern
states, where 1t is the custom to kill
a short time before cooking, but, con-
sidering the country as a whole, it
is doubtless true that the dressed
birds are marketed more than the
live, and the buyer must depend
mainly on the appearance of the skin
and flesh to tell him how fresh the
bird is, and whether it has been prop
erly dry-plucked or plunged into boil
ing water to make the plucking cas-
ier. In most cases, also, the age must
be determined by the pliability of the
breastbone or, in duck and goose, of
the windpipe.
The methods of cooking poultry are
In general the same as those for other
kinds of meat. The tougher the bird
the more cooking will be needed to
make it tender and easily digested,
and the larger it is the more heat will
be required to cook it thoroughly.
AS regards composition poultry does
not differ as much as is commonly
supposed from meat of other domestic
animals used for food. Individual
kinds and specimens, of course, vary
in the relative amounts of protein and
fat contained, and there are certain
fiavors in poultry which differ from
those in other meats. But these diff
ferences are SO small that they are
practically negligible in ordinary diet.
Nor is there as much difference in
digestibility as is often stated. On
the average, poultry is somewhat more
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1914-03-27

easily digested than beef and mutton.
but only very slightly. The difference
i'll digestibility between the various
kinds of poultry probably depends on
the amount of fat contained, the fatter
sorts being least easily digested. Ten
derness of fiber may have something
to do with both ease and thorough
ness of digestion, and, If SO, young
birds are more easily digested than
old, and the less-used muscles of the
chicken, such as the breast, more SO
than the much-used tissues of the legs.
Similarly, white-heshed birds may
be more easily digested than dark
f1eshed, because the fibers of their
flesh are less closely set; but this is
not fully proved. Indeed, very little
is positively known on this subject,
and that little seems to indicate that
the differences in thoroughness of di-
gestion are very slight, and that cook
ing has much more to do with the
digestibility of the birds than these
slight differences in composition and
texture.

On the part of some, this hesitancy
to acquire a large mirror is some
times due to a dislike for the usual
mirrored furniture to be seen in the
shops-and the prices. Of course, all
mirrors are expensive, every one
knows that, and SO, when laying out
fthe money for one, 1t should be of a
design which appeals to the owner.
Mirrors have two other very impor-
tant uses. They make a small room
look larger and they make a dark
room lighter. Either one Of these
uses provides sufficient reason for
having one or more mirrors about,
without considering their transcen-
dent quality for the rejecting of femi-
nine beauty. ct is a well-established
fact that the men never use them.

USE FOR THE MIRROR
