Don't Dye Your
Carpets and Rugs

Dyeing carpets and rugs is an ex-
pensive and often unsatisfactory oper-
alton, for it is impossible to dye them
lighter in color. Instead of dyefng, it
is better to restore the original colors
to carpets and rugs with plain olso-
mite. There is no hard work to this.
You simply brush the olsonite over
the surface of the carpet, then wipe
off, and your carpet viii, look like
new.
In addition to restoring the colors,
olsonite renews the natural oil of the
fibres and raises the nap. 1t actually
lengthens the life of carpets and rugs.
It should be remembered that beating
carpets and rugs, or scrubbing with
soap and water. breaks" them and
shortens their life.
Olsonite can be purchased at any
drug store. 1t comes in alright con-
ainers, enough to do two ordinary
ooms for fifty cents.-Ady.

Bonnie Dog had the toothache all
one night, and in the morning his
mother. said: You better go to the
barn and ask Mr.. Horse or Mr. Donkey
If they cannot help YOU
So Bonnie Dog trotted off to Mr..
Mans barnyard and told Mr.. Horse
that his tooth had ached all night and
he wanted it cured.
You will have to have 1t taken
out" said Mr.. Horse. and that is a
very painful operation, I can tell you,
for l remember that my father had a
toothache once and a man came and
took 1t out with pair of tongs."
oh! 1t won't hurt very much" said
Mr.. Donkey. who was standing near
and had his ears pricked up to catch
anything that was being said 81
know all about drawing teeth, Bonnie
Dog, and if you would like to have
me I will take that tooth out in a jiffy
and you will never have the toothache
again.
Bonnie Dog thought a minute. and
then he said: Why, it does not ache
bit now. I guess I will wait until
it begins to ache before have you
take 1t out, Mr.. Donkey. Thank you
so much"
Bonnie Dog ran out of the barn and
down the road, but just before he
reached the house the tooth gave a
terrible jump. 1t felt like leap to
Bennie Dog; and then It began to
ache again. Oh! how it did ache.
Bonnie Dog felt very brave then:
he didn't care what happened 90 that
he was rid of that tooth, so he turned
right around and ran as fast as he
could for the barn.
oh! Mr.. Donkey, I'll have you take
this tooth out" he said, holding his
paws over the place that ached.
Bonnie Dog jumped on one foot and
then on the other while Mr. Donkey
was getting ready, so he didn't see
what Mr.. Donkey was to draw the
tooth with until he was right in front
of him.
Bonnie Dog gave one look at the
long tongs Mr.. Donkey had, and then
he knew he didn't have a toothache at
all, and before Mr.. Donkey realized
what had happened Bennie Dog was
running down the road with his tail
between his legs faster than he had
ever run before in all his life.
The tooth did not ache at all that
day, but in the night it began again,
and the next morning Bonnie Dog had
a very fat-looking face on one side.
He sat on the steps Of his house
feeling very unhappy and trying to
make up his mind to go back to Mr..
Donkey, but every time he thought he
would go that dreadful pair of tongs
gave him a fright
Hello. Bennie Dog" said Tommie
Cat. what Is the matter with your
face? Have you got the mumps?"
No; have a toothache," said Ben.
ME Dog, very sad.
why don't you have 1t out?" asked
Tommie Cat
Il did go to Mr.. Donkey" said Ben
ME Dog, but it didn't ache when he
was ready to take 1t out, so I came
home"
oh! that is always the way with a
tooth that aches, it always stops when
you get ready to have it drawn out,
but l know better way than that,
and you can do it yourself. too"
What is 1t? Does it hurt?" asked
Bonnie Dog
ooh! no; it does not hurt much "
said Tommie Cat. you get a stone
and tie string to it. and then tie the
other end of the string to your tooth
and drop the stone!"
What happens them" asked Ben

Suspicion gathered in the mans
eyes. "If I let you go now, you'll
really come back?"- he asked sharply.
I'm at least good enough sport to
keep my world" Caryl retorted indig-
nantly.
"All right, then" agreed somerdyke.

He pressed her hand warmly as she
said goodbye, and she hurried away
down the street. Out of sight around
the corner she took a car to Twenty
second street. then walked so fast that
she reached her lodgings quite out of
breath. Putting several additional
pins in her hat to secure 1t tightly,
she took from Julia's dresser a long
blue veil which was one of her sister S
few bits of finery.
She stood still for a moment in the
middle of the room, her finger on her
puckered lips, her brow wrinkled in
thought. What message should she
leave her sister? 1t would never do
to tell her the plain truth. Julia was
such fuss about things and insisted
on regarding her younger sister as
still mere child.
With an abrupt determination Caryl
Swent to the shabby little table that

note.

She laid the note on the bureau
where Julia would be sure to see it,
and hurried downstairs.
Ten minutes more than the time
that Caryl had allotted to herself had
passed when she rejoined Somerdyke.

After Tommie Cat had gone Bonnie
Dog began to think that would not be
very hard or hurt very much Just to
drop the stone and out would come
the tooth, so he got a stone and tied
a string around it and then tied It to
MS aching tooth. Tommie Cat did
not tell him the string must be short,

1t did not take out the tooth that time,

Just as Bonnie Dog cached the top

and looked at the stone lying on the
ground, and there was something tiny
