Modernized Chlropractic fhas
put more so-called Incurable Dis
eases on the list of curables than
any other drugless method known
When applied to the study of
the nature, cause and e!imina-
ton Of disease, it becomes
science and philosophy which is
lble to locate and analyze, unerr-
ingly, the cause of disease, and
provides the best method known
at the present time for remov-
.ng the cause.
The method is original, unique,
adequate, and is the most
prompt in bringing about a
cure. 1t is absolutely safe.
The basic principles of Chiro-
pratic are in no way at variance
with the established facts of
Anatomy and Physlology, the
two branches of medical science
which are the foundation of all
others.

In front OF secondhand store
on Cameron street, the other day,
saw a pile of much soiled rags anC
waste-paper. A man and woman
were sorting them. In the middle OF
the pile sat their little baby girl. AS

Of infection there was from some
terrible disease.

GARDENING FOR PROFIT.

Gardening for money is an occupa-
ton that appeals to many women to
whom indoor gardening does not ap-
peal There is much talk nowadays
anent the changes in occupations that
will be caused by the war in Europe;
and that change will be reflected in
this country, Of course. 1t is said. for
instance, that Europe for years will be
too busy repairing itself to think Of
new buildings. Therefore. architects
will have to change their type of work.
This, of course, is a question for econo-
mists and the future to decide. At all
events horticultural occupations will
always prove worth while. and even in
the reconstruction period after the war
hungry Europe will need food.
So gardening is sure to be a safe form
of occupation. Safe. that is. from the
financial end. And women with fond
ness for the out-of doors may well go
into il.
Two or three sisters. or other women
who wish to work together. can do good
work with gardening. In this day no
specialized training and some capital.
And the training and capital that two
or three could bring to bear on any gar
dening undertaking would be worth the
combine.
Many colleges now give short courses
in agricultural work. And any woman
going into the work Will do well to
take course of this kind.
OF course, a course of this kind need
not be taken for degree. 1t can be
taken without credit, simply for the
value of the knowledge obtained.
one member OF the farm. for instance.
with taste for business. could take
course in packing. storing. bookkeep-
ing greenhouse construction and fruit
preserving. Another could take
course in fruit growing, and another
could study flower growing under glass.
Many women have really earned
good living in this way, a most de-
Iightful way. Once there was a we'll
to-da women whose husband kept up
a greenhouse for her pleasure. One
autumn he told her he could not afford
to run the greenhouse any longer. She
asked him to let her run the green
house and sell its flowers to see II she
could make it pay. And she tried for
that winter. coming out little ahead
OF all expenses. She raised vioiets and
was so near big city market that
she had no difficulty in dfsposing OF
them. The second season she made
really good income above expenses
the first she had had a good many ex-
penses for new apparatus and equip

GIRLS---DO YOU KNOW
WHY YOUR HAIR
lis UGLY?

Abigail Moore, the noted beauty
: authority, says: THE hair is regis
} ter of the physical condition. Clean
)liness and massage, as well as care
}ful combing and brushing. are most
important.
{ Many women do not realize the ne
/ cessity of keeping the hair and scalp
absolutely clean in order to look
their best at all times. And yet,
J with only few minutes of tonic
( massage, the hair may be brought
( to a beautiful, thick. lustrous 1uxur-
lance, and that at very little cost.
Just try these few simple direc-
tions today: Into the palm of the
hand pour a little Partisan Sage, a
}rigidly guaranteed. inexpensive and
most beneficial preparation to be had
at any drug store; thoroughly wet
the hair near the scalp with it, and ;
then rub vigorously until a soft
? tingling sensation comes stealing
over the head. Do this regularly for
Ia few days, and occasionally wet
your brush with the tonic and gent
lily brush out the hair-you will sure
fly be surprised and delighted with
the results.
The genuine Partisan Sage is OBJ
! tainable from any of O'Donnen's
Drug Stores, which always sell it
with an absolute guarantee of per-
! feet satisfaction TO the user, or the
money paid will be returned.-Ad- (

French Dressing at Its Best.

There is French dressing and French
dressing.
In other words. there is connection
of oil and vinegar with the oil floating
lightly on top of the vinegar which
we put on salads; and there is a real
emulsion of the two ingredients.
The second kind is the right kind OF
French dressing.
It is impossible to make French
dressing that will stay mixed Tor
hours. But. according 10 the chef of a
famous hotel French dressing made as
for hours. And his assertion can be
proved, as it has been by others. by any
home cook who follows his directions.
First he puts salt and cayenne pepper
into a little bowl. Then he adds the
oil and mikes 1t well with the sea-
sonings with a silver fork. Then he
gradually beats in third as much
vinegar as oil. The result is thick
emulsion that stays thick and mixed
for long time. II It is to be passed
with the salad 1t can be put on the
ice until needed with reasonable GER
tainty that 1t will be as thick then as
when made. 1t should, of course. al
ways be thoroughly chilled before
using.

WEDDING FAvoRs.

Always a thing Of enchanting fasci-
nation, the wedding cake Is now feat
| to break the heart with it's loveliness-
real wedding cake. the thing with
snowy pyramids and the temple and
the bride and the cupids and the doves
| that queens, princesses and heiresses
have ever loved. This kind Of cake Is
fashionable today for the chief orna-
ment Of the table, and where the usual
! bits Of cake are not handed round in
little boxes for the guests to take
home. these bedizened sweeties are
chopped up by the bride at last and
everybody given a pinch.

these with the proper setting some
times depicting a very dainty scene.
One such table fixing last autumn had
a huge glass punch bowl for center
piece, wreathed with grapes and leaves
and buds; round it in a dancing circle
were placed the dolls, which were Of
the sort used by the shops for minia-
ture dress models. But they were all
dressed like Isadora Duncan in her
bacchic air. Bunches of white and pur-
pie grapes and American beauty roses
strewed this table, which, as may be
assumed, was for a young widow

with a sugar temple, a priest and

and every tiny figure shows the last
needed detail in dress.
Among the decorations which will be
used by smart folk this year. and
which are very useful when natural
flowers cannot be had, are the paper
water lilies and cherry boughs. These,
however, usually go with Japanese
crockery, and they are most often used
at the tea given with the afternoon re-
ception. When real water lilies can be
had it is not uncommon to drop one or
two in the punch bowl, where they look
pretty and suitable.

that he will follow you and forget all
about snares for a time"
THAT Is all right as far as it goes,
but it isn't getting Mrs. Grouse free"
replied Reddy. I've must put on our
thinking caps"
So Reddy and Sammy put on their
thinking caps and for few minutes
neither said a word. Then a bright idea
popped into Reddy's head. DO you
know where Prickly Porky is?" he de-
manded, looking up at Sammy.
"Why?" asked Sammy.
Perhaps we could get him to cut down
that little tree" replied Reddy.
Sammy shook his head. "That won't
do any good" he declared, unless he
can cut that wire around her leg, and I
don't believe he can do that. Besides
he is long way off. and 1 don't believe
he could wade through the snow Any
way, it would take him all day to get
there. I tell you. Reddy, there as only
one person who can .help Mrs. Grouse.
