suffering from indigestion are
often troubled with constipation.
Mrs. Robert Allison, Nation,
ILL.,, writes that when she first
moved to NATION she was a
great sufferer from indigestion

Some Good Advice

Don't think too much of your
own methods. Watch other
peoples ways and learn from
them" This is good advice,
especially when bilious or consti-
pated. You will find many people
who use Chamberlain's Tablets
for these ailments with the best
results, and will do well to follow
their example.

When Strength Begins to Go.

A medical authority states that the
muscles, in common with all organs
Of the human body, have their periods
of development and decline, our phys
zeal strength increasing up to GER
tain age and then decreasing. Tests
Of the strength of several thousand
individuals have been made. and the
following figures are given as the
averages derived from such tests
the lifting power of youth aged
seventeen years is $50 pounds; in
his twentieth year this increases to-
800 pounds; and in the thirtieth and
thirty-f1rst year, respectively, it
reaches its height, 1866 pounds. At the
expiration Of the thirty-frst year the
strength begins to decline, very grad
ually at first. BY the fortieth year
1t has decreased eight pounds, and
such diminution continues at slight
~ increasing rate until the tifticth
year is reached. when the figure IL
800 pounds. Subsequent to this Pc
Rod the strength falls more and more
rapidly until the weakness of old age
is reached. 1t is found impossible to
obtain trustworthy statistics after the
f1ftieth year.

Pullman Mushrooms.

Pullman Mushrooms are the only
places there are where it is possible
to brush your teeth and comb your
hair at the same time you are pulling
on your shoes. In the confusion of
hastily dressing in n crowded Pull.
man Mushroom one very often is ex.
asperated to find that he has spent
five minutes lathering someone else's
beard. Then again it is startling to
discover that you seem to have grown
bald over night. And to have the fat
man whose head you were brushing
dig the soap out of your ear with no
gentle thumb. A Pullman Mushroom
Is excellent in many ways and if you
hold a grudge against a man persuade
him to dress and wash with YOU In
the same Pullman washroOm. You
will find it easy to batter and bruise
him horribly, though you may have
to take an awful heating yourself.
Never cross your legs while seated in
Pullman Mushroom. You may kick
someone in the face.-Detroit Journal.

Making Pillow Cases.

Anyone who has any spare time can
devote it pleasantly and usefully by
making pillow cases. They can be
made much cheaper than bought and
with little or no trouble. You can
buy pillow tubing for % cents yard.
Two yards will make a pair. Draw
very evenly two rows of shallow seal
lops around the opening. Be careful
that you measure them evenly so that
you will not have uneven scallops at
the ends. This done. crochet double
edging without hemming the case. For
IS cents you can make a handsome
pair of pillow cases. If desired one or
more initials could be embroidered in
the center above the crocheted edge.

HINTS FOR THE H0USEKEEPER
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Use kerosene as polish for piano, and
polish with dry cheesecloth.
Grease baby carriage wheels with
vaseline. It is better than oil.
Keep a box in corner for baby's
playthings; it keeps the room looking
tidy.
Put kerosene in stove backing in
place of water: you will have much
better polish on your stove.
To protect a small baby from draft
while sleeping in crib, fold pair
of ordinary bed blankets lengthwise
and wrap around crib eight or ten
inches above mattress, and pin secure
~ with safety pins.
When making boiled starch add one
half teaspoonful salt. It prevents irons
sticking.
When heating irons cover with pan.
They heat quicker and stay hot longer.
If the snaps come off your gloves,
sew on hook and eye.
Try padding your ironing-board
with newspapers.
Rub the nickel on your stove with
newspapers every day. It will not
need washing so often.
Use horse-blanket pins to pin the
baby in his crib.

Popularity Of snapdragon.

Fashions change even in flowers.
There was time when the fuchsia
was all the rage. Then the dahlia had
time of immense popularity and hun
dreds of new varieties were on the
market. Then came the turn of the
chrysanthemum, but, as 1t needed a
house and lot of attention., it was
soon left to the specialist, like the or.
child. Then came the great sweet pea
boom. Anybody who had garden at
all filled it with sweet peas and new
varieties were called after every i'm.
aginable person of note on earth. Now
there is a new star-the snapdragon.
People used rather to despise this
flower. But, 10! the expert had taken
notice of it and it has suddenly be.
come the rage. If the seed pods are
nipped off they put out new shoots,
which bear flowers until one imagines
they are, like Tennyson's brook, going
ION forever"

Why They Like to Dance.

It's funny, but the women are
crazier about dancing than the men.

every home in Atchison, Kan, a civil
war is raging. The wife is Wild to ac-

But he goes just the same. Bachelors

FRIEND WIFE WENT SHOPPING
che Didn't Invest Any Money, but She
Got Lot Of Ideas Out Of
Her Trip.

Well, she Is about ready to start to
work on her new suit and new hat.
She has everything now except the
goods for the dress and the trimming
tor tho old frame. She has the ideas.
She has tried on suits at every place
In town where suits are sold, and
not once did she pick ut the price.
And she didn't kick at the prices of
the hats. It made no difference to her
whether the hat she was trying on
was worth 50 or $40. She was not
hunting hat-she was hunting ideas,
Claude Callan explains in the Fort
Worth Star-Telegram.
She triedson one suit worth $45 and
another worth $50. No doubt the
clerks believed her to be middle
mans wife, and they must have
thought that she was very hard to
please. Occasionally she found suit
that almost filed the bill, but there
would be something wrong. At one
place she found hat frame just like
her old one, and she Immediately took
q fancy to the frame. She asked the
woman how she could trim that frame
for her, and the woman went into de-
tails, while another and perhaps better
customer waited patiently. She has
all the ideas she needs, and soon will
begin work, but, Of course, she will
have to 60 down and try on a few
more suits before she gets hers
basted.

Boiling Eaas in VINEGAR.

All albuminous compounds, such as
the white of eggs, are quickly acted
on by acids. An egg will become as
hard by being put into vinegar as If
1t were boiled. If there is little
vinegar in the water, then, when an
egg is to be poached, the acid starts
to act on the albumen and har,lens it
enough for 1t to keep its shape. This
Is valuable in serving. because If the
water bOils too hard it will break up
the white Of the egg into little flakes
and great deal of it will be lost.

S LAND OF UNTOLD WEALTH
Mountains Of the Various Countries Of
South America Contain Fabulous
Fortunes In Minerals.

Fifteen million ounces of silver 10
,ne Of South Americas annual con-
:rtbutions to the worlds pOcketbook.
This would make more than 17OOO,OOO
silver dollars.
Silver to the amount of more than
s2,OOO,OO0,OO0 has been mined in the
asst 300 years from Potosi, the famous
peak of silver" in Bolivia.
The hills of South America are
scanned with gold. It is found in every
state.
All this gold and silver could be
studded with precious stones from
Colombia. Seven hundred thousand
carats Of them are dug out of her hills
annually. Almost all the emeralds in
the world come from there.
Our famous copper mines in Micht-
gan, Montana and Arizona are sur
passed in richness by those on the
west coast of South America.
Enough silver is mined with the COP
per of one Peruvian mine to pay all
the expenses of the mining, of shipping
the ore over the mountains and up
to North America smelters. It also
pays the cost of smelling.
The Bethlehem Steel works in Penn
sylvania could be kept busy for IS
years with the iron ore Of one Of
Chi!e's provinces. COquimbo.
More tin is mined in Bolivia than
anywhere else in the world except the
Federated Malay states, and only q
few Of the mines have yet been opened.
Although South America imports
most of her coal, there is enough
tucked away in her mountains to sup.
ply the needs Of both Americas for
ages to come. But there are no rail-
ways to bring it out.
Chile's nitrates fertilize the fields
Of the world and bring her an annual
revenue in export duties Of more than
$15,000O0O. The value Of the deposits
must be reckOned in ten figures.-
