-Oh-
Consultation And INDIGESTION.

These are twin evils. Persons suf-
fering from indigestion are often
troubled with constipation. Mrs.
Robert Allison, Mattoon. ILL.,, writes
that when she first moved to Mat
toon she was a great sufferer from
Indigestion and constipation. Food
distressed her and there was a feel
ing like a heavy weight pressing on
her stomach and chest. She did not
rest we'll at night, and felt worn out
a good part of the time. One bottle
of Chamberlain's Tablets corrected
this trouble so that she has since felt
like a different person.-Ady.

WEAR THOSE SHOES
THAT TORTURED YOU
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn so it lifts out.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before.
says this Cincinnati authority, be-
cause few drops of freezone appli-
ed directly on a tender, aching corn
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn loosens SO it can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain.
A quarter of an ounce Of freezone
costs very little at any drug store,
but is sufficient to take off every
hard or soft corn or callus. This
should be tried, as it is inexpensive
and is said not to infiame or even ir-
ritate the surrounding tissue or skin.

would always have to stand on their

she will be so lonely

HAS ALL SEASONS
Umbrella "Lent" Seems to Be
Kept at Any Time.
Some Other Points, Good and Bad
Concerning Ones Protector From
the Sudden Shower or the Less
Annoying Steady Rain.

Umbrella is common noun. singu-
lar number, neuter gender, silk or cot
ton case-as the case may be. 1t is
wise to have yours in the "possessive'
case also, if it is a good umbrella.
The word umbrella is derived from
the Latin 'umbra," meaning shade or
shadow. This does not mean that it is
exclusively a shade from the weather.
but rather that you have not a shadow
of a chance TO get it back should you
leave the umbrella behind you any
where.
Never leave an umbrella behind you.
anyhow. Always keep it in front or
beside you, where you can see it.
Umbrellas were known TO the early
SaXons and to many of the late ones
coming home from the lodge on wet
nights. They joyfully seized any
camps" they found lying around loose
in the hall stand.
In Queen Anne'S reign umbrellas
were assigned exclusively to the use of
women. but in all subsequent rains
men have been using them. too.
New silk umbrellas are particularly
popular with humanity-eSpacially on
wet days. The most conscientious and
scrupulous of men have been known
to mistake nice. new umbrellas for
their own faded and decrepit ones
Sometimes, in their temporary ''fits of
abstraction" they don't even leave
substitute
Some umbrellas are waterproof and
others not quite so. The rain runs
off the better kind and through the
cheaper sort.
Nothing can be more depressing than
to join a parade of umbrella holders
in heavy shower, hoping TO be Inn
mune from the rain, and get deluged
with umbrella juice instead
Old and worn umbrellas may some
times be easily recovered, but if you
mislay good silk umbrella it is very
difficult to recover it. Some philoso-
pher has observed that the umbrella
has religious tendencies, because it
"keeps Lent" so easily.
There are many ways of carrying the
umbrella, but the most popular way
because the most senseless-is to carry
it under the arm horizontally. When
you do this in a crowd some are almost
sure to notice it and tell you about it.
They speak feelingly, too, If they
happen to get the end of your umbrella
in the stomach or back, forgetting how
much more serious it might be if they
got 1t in the eye.
Umbrellas that open automatically
and without warning should he prohib-
tied. Sometimes they develop most
surprising vitality at unexpected times
and in inconvenient places. This is
caused by hidden spring in the
handle.
They are useful novelties for the
first week or so. but the novelty soon
wears off and so does the spring. Then
the umbrella becomes ill-mannered and
aggressive, springing open impulsively,
to the CONSERVATION and humiliation Of
the owner.

thrush wear such fine headdress.
