Girls and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid complex
ions, also those who wake up with q
coated tongue, bad taste. nasty breath,
others who are bothered with head
aches, bilious spells, acid stomach or
constipation should begin this phos-
phated hot water drinking and are as
sured OF very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, puriies and freshens the skin
on the outside, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the inside or
gans. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more inn
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.
Women who desire to enhance the
beauty Of their complexion should just
try this for a week and notice results.

Mrs. Ida Ford lives in Cuba, Mo-,
and not on the Island of Cuba, and her
discovery is one that many other Mis-
souri, mothers have made since Vick's
Vap-0-Rub was introduced here from
the South last winter. And this dis
covery Is simply this:-that 1t is no
longer necessary to disturb the deli
cate little stomachs Of the Riddles in
treating cold troubles. But let Mrs.
Ford speak for herself.
Il have tested VapO.Rub three
times on my little boy four years old
for Group, and can say l have never
used medicine OF greater value for
this trouble. It acted almost imme-
diately. MY boy is subject to Group
and have used almost every kind OF
medicine one could buy for It. but II
was always about three days and
nights before l could get It checked.

which might be used in many places
where children need to carry lunches.
Custards. when well baked. make a

and few nuts and an apple. this win

Paper napkins are so inexpensive
that one should keep a supply on hand

and for napkins. Each sandwich.

biscuits win furnish variety. A littlo
surprise to vary the usual is always
pleasing to child. A piece Of candy.
fig or a date. hidden away in cor
ner will always delight them.
Peanut butter is enjoyed (when not
made too common) as sandwich fill
ing. There are SO many kinds Of salad
filings that there need never be one
used too often to tire Of 1t.
Brown bread spread with butter and
we'll seasoned cottage cheese in which
a bit of onion Juice is placed for sea-
soning. and tablespoonful of chopped
nuts Is another good filling.
Candy. of course, is always liked by
the little people. but should be used
sparingly. A piece Of candy eaten
after each meal will not be undesir
able, but a fig or date will satisfy the
sweet tooth and be much more whole
some.

Vick's Vap-o-Rub is the invention Of
North Carolina druggist. He found
how to combine Menthol and Camphor
with the volatile oils of Eucalyptus,
Thyme, Cubebs and Juniper In salve
form, so that, when Vap-0-Rub is ap.
piled externally, the body heat re-
leases the ingredients in the form OF
vapors. These vapors are inhaled
with every breath, through the air
passages, to the lungs, loosening the
phlegm, and, in addition, Vick's is alb
sorbed through the skin, taking out
the tightness and soreness. This
double action makes vap-o.Rub useful
for a wide range Of troubles. From
infiammations Of the air passages,
such as head colds, catarrh, asthma,
sore throat, bronchitis or deep chest
colds, down to inflammations Of the
skin and tissues, such as burns,
bruises, stings, piles and itchings. We
particularly recommend 1t for mothers
with small children, as II can be used
freely, with perfect safety, on the
youngest member Of the family. Threa

One way TO control the fly is
to catch 1t in such a trap as
is shown above. The trap may
be placed near the garbage can.
or any other place that the flies
are sure to come. A simple
and effective trap may be made
from a grocery box by substi-
tuting wire netting for the top
and two sides, cutting a round
hole In the bottom and inserting
in it a wire netting cone with
an eighth-inch opening at the
bottom and a half-inch opening
at the top. Some article of
food. preferably a fish head,
should be placed inside for bait.
The trap must be elevated sew
eral inches above the ground, so
as to give the flies a chance
to enter. When the trap is full,
it may be emptied by shaking
its contents through a small
opening, ordinarily closed by a
sliding door. The trap described
and shown in the illustration is
O particularly effective one, as
1t was planned with a view to
the fly's habits. The odor of
food leads the fly to enter the
trap at the bottom. Once inside
1t is attracted to the top by the
light. When it gets out Of the
wire cone 1t cannot escape. The
trap has the additional virtue Of
being inexpensive. 1t may be
made at a cost of about twenty
cents and about a half hours
time
