Victims Of Rheumatism
w. H. Sheldon's No-Cure, Moray
Offer Attracts Many Suffer
ers to Test Rheuma.

If Rheuma, the wonderful prescrip-
ton for rheumatism sold by w. H..
Sheldon, Middlebury, and all druggists,
does not cure any purchaser. the drug
gist will return your money without any
red tape.
Rheumatism is dangerous disease;
because Of its shifting nature it often
strikes the heart and proves fatal. Any
one with even faint of rheumatism
ought to drive it out as soon as possible.
Rheumatism is caused by sluggish,
WORKOUT or overwOrked kidneys, which
become clogged and fail to eliminate the
impurities from the system
Rheuma acts promptly and directly
upon the kidneys; it cleanses them; it
absolutely renovates and leaves them in
perfect condition, able to do the work
nature intended they should do. SOC a

RULES FOR GOOD CAKES.

In baking cake divide the time required into quarters. First quar- ter mixture should begin to rise. Second quarter, continue rising and begin to brown. Third quarter, con tinue browning. Fourth quarter, fir ish baking and shrink from pan.
 If oven is too hot open check and raise back covers or open oven door
 It is sometimes necessary to cover cake with brown paper There is however, danger of cake adhering to the paper.
 Cake should be often looked at during baking. Provided oven door is opened and closed carefully there is no danger of cake falling.
 Cake should not be moved in oven until fully risen. After this time it is desirable to move it so that it will brown evenly.
 Cake wher done shrinks iron. the pan and does not retain indenta- tion when pressed with the finger.
 Place cake as nearly as possible in center of oven. If too near fire box one side will burn before the other side is cooked.
 If cake is put in too slow oven 1t rises over sides of pan and is coarse in texture. If oven is too hot it browns before sufficiently risen and in it's attempt to rise breaks through the crust.
 Cake will crack if too much flour has been used.
 The oven should be kept as nearly uniform in temperature as possible.
 Small and layer cakes require hotter oven than loaf cake.

stretched, the chest is broadened and the spinal column put to the stretch, in order to meet the resist ance of the water. The circulation is stimulated and the entire body re juvenated. In fact there is no other exercise that brings about such per feet control of the body and breath as swimming.
 To float is the simplest of arts, if you but realize that the water will hold you up. You can lie and rest and float whenever you are tired. One should learn to swim by degrees and not remain in the water too long at first.
 Now that Fairbanks has a Nata torium there is no excuse for any one not learning to swim. The water is kept at the right tempera- ture, and you will find pleasure and health in attending the swimming pool, even in the coldest winter months.

VENTILATION PROBLEM.

The latest experiments in the ven tilation problem seem to show that the greatest good obtained by a circulation of air in a room is that it causes radiation of the body heat and body odors of tbe occupants and by this drawing off and diffusion os stagnant air the atmosphere is made bearable and healthful. In other words, if a room is kept cool and sufficiently well aired the air can be rebreathed without injury The fresh air admitted forces out the same amount of foul air and it is the lower temperature thus introduced which prevents stagnation of the body heat which would otherwise ac- cumulate and give a fruitful atmos- phere for germs.

HINTS OF MODES 10 COME

pear al the hem. Under sleeves are coming as they were worn in the latter fifties of the Victorian era
 One of the incest types of hats for present wear is the perfectly plain sailor. rather broad in the brim. and rather small and low in the crown. in black with a black or white ribbon. in all white. or with a black ribbon. nothing looks smarter unless it be the all navy blue.
 Among the advanced styles in fall footwear is a very dainty dancing boot of glazed kid with large pearly buttons The fad for laced boots is passing and the buttoned boot. high enough to hide it's upper edge under the short skirt. which promises to remain the mode, is the favored style with best dressed women.
 NEW COLORS.
 The colors to be worn this fall are not particularly brilliant, but they are unusually soft and beauti- full. A lovely new green is known as submarine" and there is the mole taupe. some lovely castor shades. an African brown that re sembles very closely indeed the tete de negre of the previous fall and winter seasons; crows blue. an exceedingly cark shade not unlike midnight blue. besides other charm ing shades not yet standardized fol fall and winter garments.
 Apparently fur is to be as much used for trimmings as it was last winter for most of the handsome coats and suits are coming with big collars of fur and often cuffs and buttons of the fur around the coat bottoms. though it is bit diff cult to adjust this to the very full and flaring coat skirt.
 Some lovely velvet and velours m striped effects. one tone or two tones of color being preferred to coli trasting color arrangements for cos tune materials, though there are beautiful contrasting color schemes in striped and plaid velvets to oe used as trimming or combined Wltn plain colored material.

Fine Feature Films

The Fairbanks amusementlo loving public owes a debt of gratitude to Dick Thorne. the veteran and popu. lar snowman. for the splendid ser. ies of feature films which he has been showing at his theatre the past few weeks. and those which will be shown in the future.
 About three weeks ago Tess of ford and Harold Lockwood in the leading roles. was presented. a truly great picture from an artistic stand point. The whole world knows of Mary Pickford, and her wonderful charm and acting need no comment. But Harold Lockwood is not so well known to the motion picture pa irons of this Northland, but in the pictures in which he has been seen; viz, "Phantoms." Hearts Adrift," and won the unbounded admiration of all for his superb acting. especially in the last-named play. He has every attribute which makes for greatne ss a splendid physique, good looks, refined and gentlemanly bearing. and in every smallest detail in acting proves himself a genuine artist. He will undoubtedly reach the top of the ladder of fame.
 Since Tess of the Storm Coun- try other pictures seen at Thorne's have been The Squaw Man" with Dustin Farnum in the title role; The Man on the Box, with Max Figman and Lolita Robertson; Brew ster's Millions" with Edward Abeles leading, and last night and tonight the two three-reel features The California Rodeo" or "The Great American Roundup and
 1.-THE TIGER LILY"
 Shown tonight is startling and beautiful drama of the screen, well constructed and admirably portrayed by fine artists. A beautiful tiger lily appears on the screen-it dis solves and is reincarnated in a magnificent tigress-again there is a dissolution and a woman embody- ing both the lily and the tiger is gradually materialized This artis tic bit of characterization appeals Julia Swayne Gordon, and she is splendidly supported by that sterling actor Earle Williams. Others in the cast are Florence Foley, Roger Lyt- ton and Charles Kent

Every froCk that is shown nov bears hint of modes to come. None of the advance models show any radical changes but some of them are very good looking and would make good between season frocks for early fall when the summer out fit begins to look the worse for wear. yet the time for the winter outfit has not yet come.
 A serge and satin, serge and taffe- ia, all serge or silk and velvet frock is always admirable for such purposes. and realizing this the de signers have put out a large per centage of their early autumn frocks in this form. says our New York letter There are very attractive one-piece silk frocks in dark color, too. the dark blue taffeta of the early summer reappearing in autumn models and sensibly enough, for it makes an excellent frock for street wear under the fall coat or for wear without coat when warm weather fingers.
 All of the lines favored during the summer are shown in these first fall frocks One may have sil- houette almost straight save for a flare toward the skirt bottom. or a silhouette nipped in at the waist, and that waist line-it may be high or normal or low. Provided the froCk is smart in other features and has the vintage mark of the sea son. woman may just about do with her waist line whatever is most becoming to her and suits her fancy.
 The Belgian military overcoat has been adapted to the modes of the wide at the base. the collars and cuffs red the braiding at the front of arabesque designs and a mixture of black and white The sleeves form point in front of the shoulder and the high collar, with a turnover one above. is decidedly novel. These two points are asserting themselves elsewhere. Many faille and taffeta dresses have insets of chiffon. this lights them up considerably; and sometimes pleatines of the same ap-

MEAT AND FISH
KEEP SOME TIME

Some cooks recommend washing meat after coming from the butcher others prefer wiping with clean cloth and say that washing destroys the flavor, but the easiest and best method is to scrape with a sharp knife. for that removes all surface impurities, and the meat will keep better for being put away clean. Meat may be kept by soaring the outside, allowing each side to cook half a minute This closes the pores so that the juice cannot escape, and the air does not so readily affect. This proceeding will also make the meat more tender.
 Fish should be cleaned and wiped, sprinkled with salt and wrapped in a clean. dry cloth to insure proper condition. Keep the atmosphere of the ice box pure and odorless. Sour milk, yeast. strong cheese, salt fish, all give off unpleasant odors, and meat. as we'll as butter and milk, absorbs, these and spells the more quickly because of them+

BAD FORMS IN ENGLISH.

In recent criticism of bad forms of English it. constant use amonc nearly everybody. a number of in stances were cited to exhibit ey. actly what was meant: they were in fact, mostly a few selections of false syntaX added to those with which most people who passed through the higher school grades in their youth are familiar Some of the examples are:
 He didn't show up.
 That's going some
 I'm going tc take up
 She's real good looking. f. I made a date.
 This here affair.
 I'm glad that's over with.
 You've got me going.
 I should worry.
 He's got my goat.
 Some of these are part of a yer nacular which seeks to express a thought more vividly than the es- tablished and formal phraseology and others are simple slang, sort of short cut to the expression of an idea; and with all our protesta- tions We fear We shall never be rid of either.
 Such utterances are what florists call sports" they are freakisb manifestations of the latent tendency to innovation. When a literary geni- us employs them We have a new and brilliant figure of speech. but when the ordinary mind indulges in such an impulsive outburst We have only slang.

the utility of the handkerchief. for no one will contes; it, but why should il be eterually woven in the stereotyped form of a square? The square may be large, the square may be small, but why square in stead of oval or oblong?
 The unfortunate young queen Marie Antoinette is responsible for the shape of the handkerchief.
 On January ?, 17S5, a royal com mand was issued that henceiorth the regulated form of the handker- chief should he in the form that We are so accustomed to see. Before this We are led to believe that di- verS forms were triangles, heart shaped, points of a star etc.
 These individual conceptions did not please her majesty. She car Louis XVI. It was her belief that the handkerchief in the form of a square was more elegant.
 At the above date Louis had the following decree issued: The length of all handkerchiefs manufactured in the kingdom shall be equal to their breadth -
 During all the changes of govern ment in France, ffrom the Revolu tion to the Third republic. the law passed under Louis XVI. is the only one that has been immoyable as far as things to be worn are concerned. It has defied every change and the rest of the Christian world has in this respect faithfully followed the wishes of Queen Marie tntoinette.

CLEANSING QUILTS.

Down quilts or small feather or down pillows which have become soled can be washed at home with very little trouble or expense. First choose a good day, for the drying is half the battle, and you need plenty of sunshine and a gentle wind.
 Use lukeWarm water and one of the many pure soaps that are in the market just now, and avoid a wash board It won't be of any help and it will certainly pull your quilt or pillow out of shape. Rub thoroughly with the soap, squeezing and batting with your hands as you might fine WOolen underwear.
 Rinse in two or three clear Wa ters and hang up to dry in the sun light A dash of salt in the water will keep the colors from fading.

AN ECONOMY IN SUGAR.

The best grade of light brown sugar is invaluable in the kitchen, For seasoning it is far superior to eranulated. being sweeter and having a more pleasing flavor. For making molasses and other dark cakes. no other sugar is suit able.
 Chocolate and caramel icing. when made of brown sugar, have a rich ness of flavor that cannot be i'm parted when white sugar is used.
 Fudge should always be made of brown sugar of the first grade.
 Brown sugar, spread between slices of whole bread, makes delicious sandwiches. and wholesome sweet as a dessert or for children's luncE- boxes.

THE OVEN HEAT.

To test the oven have ready some pieces of ordinary white kitchen pa per, and try the oven by putting ill one every eight or ten minutes. if on being put in the paper blacken5 or even blaZes up at once, the oven is obviously too hot. If on being left in, however, for two minutes or so, the paper turns deep, al most chocolate brown, the oven is ready for patties and small pastries generally Ii the paper turns a HI
 vana or cigar brown, tarts, vOl-aI- vents and such like may be put in. If the paper turns a pale yellowish brown the shade of a deal plank, the oven is fit for bread, large meat or game pies, pound cake. etc.; in short, anything requiring good sound or soaking oven, the perfect one for baking. If finally the paper when left in the even for the prescribed time is barely tinged with a very faint shade of yellow, sponge cakes, meringues, and such things needing but light baking and little if any coloring may be safely put in.
