To Repair Scratched Furniture.

When wood is badly dented or
scratched it is often quite a problem
to know how to get rid of the marks.
This is quite easy if the following
plan, suggested by the Scientific Am
erican, is adopted. First of all, fold
a piece of blotting paper at least
four times, then saturate with water,
finally allowing the superfuous
moisture to drip away. Now heat a
flatiron until it is about the heat re-
quired for laundry work. Place the
damp blotting paper over the dent
and press firmly with the iron. AS
soon as the paper dries, examine the
work. 1t will then be found that the
cavity has filled to a surprising ex-
tent. Where the deEt is very deep
second or even a third application on
the lines indicated might be tried.
Sooner or later even serious depres-
sions can be drawn up and most peo-
pie who have not tried this plan will
be surprised at the result of the
treatment. Repolishing will clear
away even the slight marks that
might finally remain.

The Quality of Cheerfulness.

There are times when cheerfulness
ceases to be virtue, times when it
is necessary to show to some per-
sons a black face and stern reproof.
But the cheerful person will less
often have to display those forbid
ding aspects than he who is moody
or who is heavily aware of the
weight of the world and his RESPONSE
bilities in it. People work better
for cheerful persons than for surly
or cranky" persons, are less likely
to commit errors or faults deserving
of censure and more likely to de-
velop the pleasant and also the solid
traits of character.
Persons in authority frequently
feel it necessary to disguise their
naturally cheerful dispositions. They
have the idea that if a man is to be
a strict disciplinarian he cannot ex-
hibit q smiling countenance or free
ly indulge his natural turn for
humor. Yet the strict disciplinarian
who shows in his relaxed moments a
kindly heart and genial spirit will
accomplish better results than one
who relies upon his sharp voice,
brusque manner and cold eye to
command respect. And some per-
sons, without being strict disciple
narians at all, are able by communi-
eating their spirit of cheerful inter-
est and activity to get large meas
ure of efficiency out of their work.
ers.
If cheerfulness is valuable trait
in an employer, it is even more i'm
portant in employee. The man
who can conquer depression and
worry and discomfort, who can con-
troll the forces of envy and jealousy
within him, and who can 60 about
his work day in and day out with
cheerful good humor is in fair way
of arriving at a stage where depres-
sion, worry. discomfort, envy and
jealousy may reasonably be expect
ed to have less claim upon him. At
whatever end of the industrial scale
your lot may be-, you will be
wise if you cultivate the spirit of
cheerfulness in your relations with
your fellow men.-Houth's Compan-

HOPED MORN WOULD

WERE HEAVILY AGAINST HER.
Change "a Miracle"--G Woman Talks
Interestingly of Her Remark
able Experience.

II was in anawful condition when
l began taking Tanlac and had been
for two years, but Tanlac got me
back in good health" was the en-
phatic statement of Mrs D ] Burgin
of Greer, S G, in a statement she
gave May 10 in endorsement of Tan
lac. Il Was suffering from the after
effects of malaria. My system was
out of order. | was weak and run
down and my face was as yellow as
a pumpkin. My feet and legs felt
like they were dead or asleep and
tingled all the time. Really I had
begun to wonder if 1 ever would re-
gain my health and | didn't think l
had chance, for so much medicine
had failed to help me. In fact, l
felt so badly that | often told my
family at night 1 hoped there would
be no stove in the house in the morn
ing, so 1 would not have to cook
breakfast. 1 had stomach trouble
very badly, too.
"Tanlac is the grandest. thing in
the world for a condition like I was
in, and it soon got my stomach in
good shape, my face cleared up and
regained the right color and my ap-
petite soon came back. No matter
how bad headache I had, one dose
of Tanlac relieved it. Soon the Tan
lac had me feeling fine and strong,
and after | had taken two bottles l
was well and strong. I took some of
the Tanlac Tablets and they helped
Tanlac ever so much to get me we'll.
Those tablets are the best l ever
took.
Il am gald to recommend Tan
lac, for it is the first and, of course,
the only medicine that ever helped
me-"
