WHAT EVERY HOME NEEDS
Beautiful Things Need Not Be Expen-
sIve, but They Should Be Selected
With Great Care.

A few simple bits of pottery whose
quiet tones are carefully selected to
harmonic with the scheme of the
room in which they are to remain,
and whose shapes are proportioned
and designed for holding flowers, are
what every household needs Hand
some brass and copper win often do
much toward frightening some gloomy
corner of a room and create splendid
effects when filled with masses of
green or some bold flowers. When
purchasing a collection of bowls and
vases in which to place flowers, one
might take note of those chosen by
a person of excellent judgment in such
matters.
Plain glass vases, medium all and
fiaring, and having heavy bases. make
excellent holders for sweet peas;
Spanish pottery suits well the rich col
ors of nasturtiums and geraniums;
cylindrical vases and dun colors are
appropriate for holding ~hollyhocks
and branches that have woody stalks.
Mexican bowls in their fun color en-
nance the loneliness Of chrysanthe-
NUNS. Goldenrod is very beautiful
when placed in tall earthen vases, and
combines beautifully with sweet fern.
which is also plumelike and makes a
suitable background for it.

HEARTBURN, Oh GAS ON
STOMACH

The question as TO how long you are
going to continue a sufferer from indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, or out-of-order
stomach is merely q matter of how
soon you begin taking Tonoline Tabs.
People with weak stomachs should
take Tonoline Tablets occasionally,
and there will be no more Indigestion,
no feeling like a lump of lead in the
stomach, no heartburn, sour risings,
gas on stomach, OF belching of undi-
gested food, headaches, dizziness, or
sick stomach; and besides, what you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous doors. All these
symptoms resulting from a sour, out
of-order stomach and dyspepsia are
generally relieved five minutes after
taking Tonoline Tablets.
Go to your druggist and get a ST.
box of Tonoline Tablets and you will
always go to the table with a hearty
appetite, and what yen eat will taste
good, because your stomach and mites
tines will be clean and fresh, and you
will know there are not gong to be
any more bad nights and miserable
days for you. Tonoline Tabs freshen
you and make you feel like life is
worth living.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
taehian Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have a umbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nlDe cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an iufianed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
