OF all the maladies that aff1ict hui
mainly chronic dyspepsia, such as Mr.
and Mrs. White suffered from, is prob
ably the most prevalent, and hours
might be consumed in describing the
sufferings, mental and bodily, of the
victims of chronic dyspepsia.
A morbid, unreal, whimsical and
melancholy condition of the mind
aside from the nervous physical suffer
ing, is the usual state of the average
dysPeptic, and life seems scarcely
worth living.
Tanlac, the celebrated medicine, was
designed especially for overcoming
this distressing condition and millions
of people have taken it with the most
astonishing and gratifying results. II

NOT A PROPER COMPARISON
Ten-Year-oId Quickly Seized on Weak
Point in Argument Put Forth
by His Daddy.

Writers have long wed in their eff
forts to describe properly the tooth
someness, as well as the downright
stupidity, of the ordinary domestic
hen
Lawrence, age ten, for a number Of
years has been able to provide the
most ample concrete evidence of his
due appreciation of the former, but
it was only recently that the latter
was brought forcibly home to him.
After vainly trying for some time
to drive an obstreperous hen from
the garden, he called to his father.
Il can't get this old hen out!'
His father remarked that If Gen
eral Pershing had given up that cas-
lily he never would have driven the
Germans out of France
Lawrence promptly replied: ''That
was different. The Germans knew
what General Pershing was trying to

Dried Vegetables.

The government bureau of chemis.
try is trying to popularize the "dehy.
drated' vegetables which are begin
ming to be sold for soup mixtures. It
is thought that these mixtures of vege-
tables, which are absolutely water
free, might be used to great advantage
by housewives. They are quite as good
for soups as fresh material and far
cheaper. One hotel to which sample
packages were sent for trial reported
that one pound of the stuff made 125
portions" The only important OBJ
stacle to the Introduction of these con-
centrated soup vegetables seems to lie
in the difficulty of overcoming old
prejudices. Philadelphia Ledger.

Chicago Man Reports Success in Novel

Another western idea was adapted
to city uses the other day when a

on the Colorado plateaus, staked out
his cats to keep them at home. The

the string to a stake driven in the
back yard.
This system proved effective and

would result. The CIT of the skirt
was extreme enough to give pause,
but plus the spectacular touch of
green it was voted impossible by the
women to whom it was offered, until
along came a woman with vision
that could see black satin substituted
for the green, and the severe renais-
sance neckline could be softened by
opening the front Of the plain bodice
and inserting a V of some flattering
lingerie material-changes, which
while very slight, altered the entire
spirit of the gown.
Now that sleeves of contrasting ma
terial are voted smart one might be
tempted to select gown which could
be altered by changing the sleeves.
OF course any changes ones original
ity might suggest would be helpful
to the woman who to her dismay finds
that the model she selected has been
selected by her nearest neighbor or
her dearest enemy.
