A neighbor recommended Lydia E..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to me,
and the second day after I started TAX
ing it began to feel better and kept
on taking it for seven months. Now /
keep house and perform all my house
hold duties. You can use these facts as
you please and will recommend Vege-
table Compound to everyone who suffers
as I did. " - Mrs. J. S. LITTLE, 1856
Livingston St., Philadelphia, Pa.
How much harder the daily tasks of
q woman become when she suffers from
such distressing symptomsandweakness
as did Mrs. Little. No woman should
allow herself to get into such a condition
because such troubles may be speedily
overcome by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, which for more than
forty years has been restoring American
women to health.

A Clean Send-Away.

A farmer lad was writing letter to
a city friend. Having no other en-

'P. S.-Please excuse the envelope.
1t was clean when it left my hands"

II Believe That Every Girl Should Be
Trained to Do Something"


Do I think young woman should enter public
service provided she has the inclination? That de-
ponds upon circumstances; family conditions most
always playing large part in woman's decision.
Her first duty lies at home, and nothing ever
change that
On the other hand, believe that every girl
rich poor-should be trained to do something,
either by which she could make living or by which
she could benefit humanity There is no excuse for
absolutely selfish existence. Every woman, with the
possible exception of the young mother with growing
family should find opportunity for public service

MAKING SPACE IN KITCHEN
Ingenious Arrangement Of Requisite

Necessity for Large Room.

In these days when rents are SO
high people are commonly obliged to
ecOnOmize space as much as possible,
the family kitchen may be no more
than closet ingeniously fitted with a
gas range and other essentials.
COuches convertible into beds and 9th

than one purpose are at a premium.
The newest invention in this line, pat
ented by a resident Of South Chi
cagO Is an arrangement whereby
chairs, when not in use, may be fold
ed and slowed beneath table. Each
chair, attached by bracket to the
inner side of a table may be slid
out on a rod to q comfortable sitting
distance, slot In the rod enabling this
to be done, whereupOn q thumbscrew
makes it fast. When it is desired to
get the chair out of the way, it's back
is folded down, the screw is loosened
and the chair, after being slid inward
along the slot, is turned bodily over,
the rod being pivoted at the bracket.
This accomplished Qt takes but mo-
ment), the chair rests on it's feet be-
meath the table facing the opposite
way. A reversal Of the process brings
the chair into view again.-Philadel-

CLEANING CAR
NOW fine ART
Using Modern Methods Owner
May Keep His Machine Look
ing New all the Time.
WASHING NOT CASUAL JOB
Large Sponge Sopped Against Surface
q So That Water Trickles Down ls
Best Way-Use Chamois for
Polishing.

The last two or three years have
brought a very remarkable develop
ment In American body building. The
mechanism Of the modern motor car
has reached an approximate degree
of perfection, leaving the manufac-
turerS free to devote more time to in
creasing the attractiveness of the
vehicle. The present day American
car as 1t leaves the factory is really
a thing of beauty with the highly
polished surfaces and shiny metal.
Naturally this has induced the owner
to take more pride In keeping up the
appearance of the gasoline steed. The
result is that cleaning methods and
equipment have greatly advanced over
those Of a few years hack.
Easy to Keep Clean.
The present day owner using mod
ern methods may keep his car looking
new all the time, nor will he have to
spend more than few moments day
TO accomplish this end. For instance,
there are now on the market num-
Der Of liquid and wax polishes which
will give admirable results If they are
used as directed.
In the use of wax polishes the first
step is to clean the body Of the car
thoroughly. The polish is applied to
the surface with a piece of cheese
cloth and then another clean cloth is
used to distribute the wax evenly all
over the surface. Car owners COM
monty make the mistake of thinking
that the more wax applied the better.
AS a matter of fact very thin film is
all that is needed.
Washing the car is not the casual
Job some owners seem to imagine. To
begin with, the car should be washed
Immediately after 1t has been dirty. If
mud is allowed to remain on the var
nished surface more than a day it is
difficult to eradicate it. For the wash
ing plain water should be used, neither
too hot nor to cold, about so degrees
Fahrenheit being the proper tempera-
ture. A large sponge soaked In clear
water and then sopped against the sur
face so that the water trickles down
is best. Never turn stream of water
at high pressure on the body.
Use Chamois for Drying.
In drying the body a clean chamois
skin should be used, rubbing being done
In straight lines. If spots of tar or
road oil are found on the body it Is
best to treat them with salt butter or
kerosene. The butter softens the de-
pOsit so that it may be wiped of easily.
Kerosene should be applied locally and
wiped off within a minute.
To keep pace with the improved ap-
pearance of the body it is necessary
to give some attention to the top and
the upholstery. A weekly brushing of
the top, inside and out. will aid ma
terially in it's life. Fabric tops should
never be cleaned with gasoline, kero-
sene. or other oils, as they tend to de-
stroy the rubber in the top. CASTLE
soap and water applied with a stiff
brush is the best cleansing medium for
the top.

The United States government col

Motor buses are used by $4,000
schools In the United States. The
vehicles are operated in Is states, and
transport more than 100000 pupils.
When motor car, after being
cranked runs for minute or two, and
then stops, the first place to look for
the cause OF the trouble Is the gasoline
