sounds well to those who have not
tried it, but those who have expert
enced it know it's disadvantages. 1t
means one cannot have her meals at
all hours. 1t is not the clearinghouse
mistress affair if her business detains
her. If the girl hurries in to dinner an
hour late there's not overmuch to eat
and she finds everything cold. The
annoyed waitress tells her there's not
anything left Of this and that. She
often has the audacity to hint that she
saw her come in half an hour ago, that
she must have been in her room primp-
ing up instead of coming right in. Few
mattresses take into consideration the
need of bathing her face, brushing her
hair and DOMINIC a fresh blouse.
Then the matter of entertaining her
company. The parlor Is for oil. There
are some girls just bold and heartless
enough to intrude themselves quite as
soon as her best young a is COM
fortably seated. She Is obliged to in
troduce him. Each time he calls, they
are sure to come into the parlor
dressed In their best. More often
than not, she finds herself cut out with
her beau. She cannot take him out
for a walk, being often too tired. On
other occasions, it Is stormy.
Thus she longs for a place of her
own, be it only a tiny low-priced fiat.
She finds this has its disadvantages,
too. She must arise an hour earlier
to prepare her breakfast of oatmeal,
boiled eggs, coffee and rolls. Dishes
must be washed and the place tidied
before she goes, the windows tightly
closed. 1t is a hot, discouraging place
to face when she m home, extra
tired, after having spent more time
than she should in doing her little mar
keting. Steak looks tempting. 1t is
quite another matter to broil 1t.
Yet oil this discontinue vanishes
when she finds the postman has pushed
a letter underneath the door. 1t reads,
II am coming to take you out to cline
today, Jennie" She finds it quite i'm
possible to entertain the Young man
in her fiat. They go to the movies or
some entertainment as the last resort.
A poor old aunt or relative is worth
her weight In gold, a godsend to such
a girl. They can make the place home
like and get up coy dinners to invite
a young man to so that the notion of
marriage is soon put in his head. "
a girl must live alone, housework Is
usually too much care for her Shout
ders. Boarding, while 1t has its dis
advantages, has more companionship
and less care for her.

Mothers Ruse Failed.

Dear AuEtie Mabel had sent the
:hree Morgan children a very beautiful
m~itation-fruit, a peach made of sugar
and nicely colored.
Mrs. Morgan thought they ought to
be saved; the kids thought differently.
"Now, you really mustn't eat them,
you know" explained mother, in q last
desperate effort. 'They look awfully
pretty, but I'm not SURF that the color
ing may not be dangerous. In fact"
she went on, dropping her voice in an
awesome whisper, II have heard of
children dying from eating colored
things"
She thought that would do the trick /;
but early next morning she heard q
sound out on the landing, and, going to
e who was astir so early, found Elsie
'trotting along the passage.
"Where are you going, dear?" she
asked. "It's not six o'clock yet"
Going to see if Dick and Arthur are
dead yet" replied the eight-year-old
miss. "I'm not"

Lived on Milk.

One day, while dining at the house
Of a friend, the Rev. G. II. Spurgeon
was heard to say that he had lived for
three months on nothing but milk.
This gave rise among the company to
several questions as to what prevented
him from eating solid food, fror. what
complaint he was suffering, how his
strength was maintained, what sort Of
milk was it, and in what quantity did
he take it. After ~everyone's curios-
ity was fully aroused Mr.. Spurgeon,
with a twinkle Of fun in his dark eyes,
said, "Ask my mother" which reply
was followed by oars Of laughter, ev.
eryone feeling they had been taken in,
the time being the first three months
Of his life.

HEALTH HAD

But Cardui Built Up Her Health
And Strength So She Could
Do Her Work.

Etowah, Tenn.-"About 8 years ago."
writes Mrs. Lille Garden, of this place,
II first took Cardui. Or. - said
I was suffering with liberation . .
and turned over to one side.
/ suffered great pain in lower abdomen
and back. For l or . years the .
had been irregular and came about
every . weeks, and l suffered great
pain. Would cramp so l couldn't get
up and do my work. Sometimes the
-. would last 4 or 3 days and
come too much, which seemed to cause
me to suffer very much. l would be
up and down in the bed for 4 or 5
days, When I'd take the Cardui
through the period, the -. would
be less and not last so long-only
something like 3 days, and the suffer-
ing would be entirely relieved.
My hea h had got rundown and the
Cardui would build up my health and
strength and keep me going and out
Of bed, SO | could do my work. 1t hurt
me to wen sweep my floor when l
began It, but got so l could do the
most Of my work, and I didn't suffer
any more, had no more cramps"

covered with blotcheS OF pimpleS, else
why should she be obliged to coat Il
over with chalk or whiting paste? He
also suspects her of being years older
than she really is, probably wrinkled,
else she would have no thought of a
false complexion to befool people.
Youth is always lovely in its own
way, quite independent Of makeup.
That should be left for the older wom-
en- whose youth and good looks have
slipped by on the tide Of years. When
a young man is introduced to a bevy
of young girls his eye may rest for the
moment on the maiden with the pref
test face, but as he becomes more
acquainted with them it is more often
than not the shyeSt girl, the one who
can boast the least about her good
looks, who enchants him, touching IN
erringly the er chord that opens
the door of Il in his heart.
Girlish beauty amounts to very little
If brains do not accompany it. The
spell 1t casts over masculine hearts
does not last for long. Like the ear
Hest flowers that bloom it is the
soonest 10 fade. If her beauty is the
only hold she has upon the heart Of a
lover, or even a husband, a roman
may we'll tremble with apprehension if
she contemplates the stretch of years
ahead when beauty is no longer her
priced possession.
To the woman whom the gods deny
great beauty, other more lasting and
better gifts are given to compensate
her. Beauty is fleeing. The girl who
is proud of it has crosses ahead of her.
1t is powerleSs to hold love.

1t is many parents boast that they
have shielded their growing daugh-
tiers from every care. Their soft, white
hands bear evidence Of their useless
ness. Their conversation evinces the
fact that they know much of pleasure,
but are strangers to useful knowledge.
OF course, young girls must have
their frolics or amusements to make
life worth while, but, at the same
time, they should be made to realize
that girl chums, pretty clothes, dane
ing, sports and beaux should not fill
all their thoughts and occupy all of
their time.
A clever mother who has a family of
a few interesting daughters hit upon
a plan to make them useful as well as
ornamental and be the means of bring.
ing out the best Of all there was In
them Of each girl in the village. She
encouraged her daughters to get up a
Know Something club" This was to
be held once q week at their home.
For the first hour Of their meeting,
the only subject to be discussed was
some useful knowledge for the home.
Girls wheedled their old aunties and
grandmas into telling them how they
used to get along with their few ad-
vantages. No idea was too homely to
be listened to and jotted down In the
note book Of the others.
The girl who first told that she had
learned how to drive moths from q car
pet looked affrighted, thinking she
would hear screams Of laughter. In
stead, every girl looked the interest
she felt at learning that by spreading
q damp cloth or towel over the spot
they inhabit and ironing the cloth the
steam would kill the eggs and worms.
Thus embOldened, another girl, who
had a father who was a physician, re-
marked blusEingly: Father says tell
the girls If they know Of anyone who
Is bedridden and sores have appeared
therefrOm, that the white of an egg, q
tablespoonful Of spirits Of camphor
and a teaspoonful of ru cried alum
will cause them to disappear. One
miss told her companions that per-
%spiration from clothing could be re-
moved by soaking the garments in
strong salt water before laundering.
She also added that old linen hand
kerchiefs should not be flung away.
They were of great use In hospitals.
The smallest girl In the room said all
she was able to find out was that
irons would never stick to the clothes
If half a te~aspoonful Of lard or kcro-
sere was added to the starch while it
was hot.
Such a fund Of useful knowledge
was unfolded! The girls were heart
lily applauded. A dainty little lunch
con of sandwiches, Ice cream and cof-
fee was served. knowledge books
were % filled. Young men pleaded
so hard to come ard listen that they
were allowed that privilege orce a
fortnight. This put the girls on their
mettle. Every money-saving device
from every source was dug up.
The young men were so delighted
with all they heard discussed, proving
the thrift Of the girls, that there was
scarcely a single maid in the village
at the end Of the year.

DOES BEAUTY WIN LOVE?
Nought under heaven 80 strongly doth al
lure
The sense of man and all his mind pos
sess,
AS beauty's lovely bait.

If nine out Of ten women were asked
what gifts Of the gods they craved
most they would answer unhesitating-
ly, Love, n happy heart and O. con
tented home" The tenth woman would
declare she would ask for beauty only,
for with that n power she could
win all the rest.
While 1t is undeniably true that the
beautiful woman arouSeS the admlra-
ton of men 1t Is not true that she can
touch the love chord in every mascu-
line heart at will. Every woman should
make the best appearance possible. No
M thanks her for looking her worst.
If she sees she looks better in a pic
ture hat than In a poke bonnet why
persist in the bonnet to make herself
more unhandsome than nature intend
ed her to be!
1t Is the trick very young girls resort
toto make themselves appear beautl-
fu1-which should be cried down.
When q girl In her teens gets herself
up by the liberal use of powder and
rouge to look like a wax figure In q
hairdesser's window, she does not go
to all that bother to excite the won
der of other girls. No, she does it
with the fixed purpose of winning the
admiration of the young men and
catching a beau.
It's a great pity these bepowdered
girls cannot see themselves as Others
see them. Any nan with but n eye
or half an eye in his head can see
paint on q girls face as far off as she
comes within range Of his vision. The
average young man is sure she must
have q notify complexion or q face

The second mistake women make

Old coffee with new names
Are you continually being offered the same old coffee under
new names? Under all sorts of new blends2
Did you ever stop to think of the hundreds of cofees
which come and 60 on the market? And that all of these have
tried to turn women away from Arbuckles' Cofee7
Arbuckles' is the coffee which has gone right out, always
under its own name, never disguised, and held its users simply
on the wonderful value 1t gave. You know what good value
a coffee must be to do this against the competition of all the
other cofees in America
Used in a million homes
Settle, for all time. your coffee problem, by giving your
family the only coffee which over a million families have
proved to have the real coffee taste they want.
When you get Arbuckles' Coffee you get an entirely diff
ferent coffee. No other coffee gees through the same process
in no other coffee can you get the same good favor. The
result of the care Arbuckle Brothers take in selecting it, in
roasting and in packaging it, gives you an entirely different
coffee from any other on the market.
Order 1t from your grocer today. He has it, in either the
Whole Bean or the new Ground. Try it. See why it is by
far the most popular coffee in America. Arbuckle Brothers.

One mistake many women make
in buying coffee

You know how hard it is to get a coffee which really
satisfies you. You know how seldom you can find a
coffee which has the same fine taste and strength
every morningl 1t can be done. You can do it if,
when you buy coffee, you are careful not to make
the mistakes so many women make. Read the ex-
periences below-you yourself have undoubtedly had
one or both of them.
Beware of loose coffee
Are you buying coffee which you get loose, coffee which
hasn't been protected by a sealed ~package2
Are you afraid that it isn't clear7 Has Il lost its aroma7
Are you often disappointed in its strength?
1t isn't the grocers fault. With loose coffee he can't be
sure that it is the same kind he got before. You always run
the risk Of getting different coffee every time you buy.
And even if the coffee itself were the same, it can't be
kept loose" without losing its strength and favor.
In Photographed!
You can do away with every one Of these Disappointment
b~yordering the coffee which, over one million other families drink.
Arbuckles' Coffee is such good coffee that way back in
the sixties, when all other coAees on the market were loose
and unprotected, Arbuckle Bros. protected theirs in sealed
packages. This sealed package keeps the coffees strength,
and guards it from moisture and store odors. Most important
of all, it makes it easy for you to be sure that you are getting
the same good coffee every time you buy.
