Dear Sir, We certainly agree with
you that the Danish film The Beautiful
Denmark" should be shown again. It
was indeed beautiful Denmark. and
would certainly be appreciated a second
time. We would suggest Friday even
ing this week and not Saturday, as some
persons were unable to attend on Satur-
day night last being otherwise engaged.
This excellent picture is very instructive,

decide to show same again, which we
hope he will. Use Diet yndigt Land igen.)

A Stubborn Cough
 L0Osef1s Right Up
This homemade remedy is a wen- der for quick results. Easiiy
 and cheaply made.
'*st*s.sts,s.*.*.F.>*ss

Here is a homemade syrup which millions of people have found to be the most dependable means of break ing up stubborn coughs. It Is cheap and simple, but very prompt in ec- tion. Under its healing, soothing iri- fluence, chest soreness goes, phlegm loosens, breathing becomes easier, tickling in throat stops and you get 8 good nights restful sleep. The usual throat and chest colds are con- quered by it in "A hours or less. Nothing better for bronchitis, hoarse,. ness, oroup, throat tickle, bronchial asthma or winter coughs.
 To make this splendid cough syrup, pour 2M ounces of Pinex into pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup and shake thoroughly. If you prefer use clari- fled molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, you get full pint-a family supply --of much better cough syrup than you could buy ready-made for three times the money. Keeps perfectly and children love its pleasant taste.
 Pinex is special and highly con- centrated compound of genuine Nor way pine extract, known the world over for its prompt healing effect upon the membranes.
 To avoid disappointment ask your druggist for "2H ounces of Pinex" with full directions, and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money promptly refunded. The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind

one who has given solace to many with his wonderful books on adven- ture-this man found himself in the thick of the forest with a sprained foot, miles away from help He managed to crawl to & little hut and there he stayed for many days, all alone. He told mo that what he got tho greatest joy and comfort from was watching a simple flower that grew up through the crack in the floor of the hut.
 It seemed to him that when he awakened in the morning and saw this flower turn its face up toward the light and the sunshine it buoyed him up and gave him courage and strengthened him until his foot was healed sufficiently to move on. And this man told me he believed this simple flower with it's spiritual mes- sage of sweetness saved his life.

Delightful Taste, Immediate ' Relief, Quick Warm-Up.

X The sensation of the drug trade IS Aspironal, the two-minute cold and cough relieuer, authoritatively guaran- teed by the laboratories; tested, ap- proved and most enthusiastically en- dorsed by the highest authorities, and proclaimed by the people as ten times as quick and effective as whiskey, rock and rye, or any other cold and cough remedy they have ever tried.
 All drug stores are supplied with the wonderful elixir, so all you have to do to get relief from that cold is to step into the nearest drug store, hand the clerk half dollar for bottle of Aspi- ronal and tell him to serve you two tea spoonfuls. With your watch in your hand, take the drink at one swallow and call for your money back in two minutes if you cannot feel the distress ing symptoms of your cold fading away like a dream within the time limit. Don't be bashful, for all druggists in- vite you and expect you to try it. Everybody's doing it.
 When your cold or cough is relieved, take the remainder of the bottle home to your wife and children, for Aspiron- al is by far the safest and most effec- tive, the easiest to take and the most agreeable cold and cough remedy for children as well as adults.

DON'T RUN AFTER HIM

Sometimes young man will prove very ardent lover and then sud denly "cool off" Although he may still come to call, the girl notices that he Is inattentive. reserved and bored in her company. What shall she dor How can she win him back?
 Well, girls, this IS problem.
 If the girl caters to him. Is over cordial and too concerned over his actions, he usually seems to sulk all the more. In fact, that Is just what he wants. Some men like to worry girls. They like to keep them guess ing. Therefore, the girl who tries to win back an iceberg to his former warm friendship Is certain to fail.
 It is the girl who does not cater does not ask him what has come over you?" at every meeting, does not keep the postman busy or the who finally wins with this type of man. Ask him why he is indifferent. write to him, phone him and he will hide, withdraw like turtle within it's shell. Spend the entire evening trying to turn him from an iceberg solve never to call again or else glory in the power of his own ego.
 But let him go into his shell and remain there and he will find 1t isn't such jolly place after all. If he is calling and suddenly gets one of his indifferent. non-talkative, disagree able moods pick up a book and begin to read. If he fails to call the next evening don't write, don't phone and don't worry.
 Let him alone. In the due course of time he'll come back a sadder and wiser man. He will find that you don't cater and don't lose sleep over him. why Should l Cry Over You?" is good little song with good les son within its verses. Cry over him and let him see it and he will secretly enjoy your suffering. 1t flatters his ego, makes him feel important. But sleep. eat and continue to enjoy life and he will see his moods and whims do not affect you.
 In many cases this iceberg really is suffering from Indigestion. a call down from the boss or some unpleas- ant scene at home. He comes to your home with a grouch and if he can he will pass 1t along to you. Take it.. pet it, talk about 1t, and the grouch grows. Ignore it, don't let him see you notice his mood and 1t will be all gone the next time you meet. If I were to advise a girl just what to do when the young man she like becomes suddenly indifferent and chilly I should say, Pick up an in

RUGS, CARPETS AND PAINTED FLOORS

 When 1t comes to the question or rugs I must immediately confess that I can speak with authority only on the early American, or technically. the hooked rug" I can appreciate beautiful Oriental rug when l see one and naturally have my prefer ences with regard to color, design and so forth, but I could never pass an opinion on their value. Needless to say, the colors in a really good old rug are softer and more beau tiful than the modern, but these lovely antiques are beyond the means of the average purse-that is, If they are of any size.
 The colors Tn most of the modern Oriental or copy of the Oriental rug are rather apt to be crude and not very pleasing, and, therefore, I think, should be avoided. Isn't 1t curious what wonders age seems to accomplish with the colors in rugs? No matter how many shades there may be in an old rug they seem always to blend and be harmonious with any color one may wish to use. But all this is quite different when dealing with a modern rug of Orien- tai design, and you find yourself limited as to choice of colors that will go well with it.
 However, as said in my previ- ous article, if a multi -colored rug is to be used it is best to keep pretty closely to plain materials when providing materials for up- holstery and curtains. Hooked rugs are really very lovely but unfortu- nately rarely come large enough to serve as the sole rug for a room of any size. Besides, the large ones are a formal rug, Of course, and while they may be used In an English room as fire rugs. they are most charming in what we might term an Amer ican environment"
 Three of four hooked rugs on a painted or polished floor are not only very delightful, but perfectly adequate floor covering If well

Of late he had acquired the habis of lingering over his breakfast, sit ting in a position that afforded him a good view of his neighbours back door step and yard. He stared at the closed door. Soon she would ap pear and his vigilance would be re- varded by the sight of her Junoesque beauty.
 The door opened and his goddess emerged, a basket of clohtes under her arm, her blouse open at the neck disclosing her strong white throat, her beautiful head with it's wealth of flaxen hair thrown back exultantly in the wind. He loved to watch tne flash of her rounded white arms in the sun as she shook out the clothes and pinned them firmly on the line. The wind whipped her simple dress about her limbs. When a strand of gleaming hair blew in her eyes she tossed it back with what he could imagine being flirtatious gesture. Once when she turned her head quickly he thought she smiled at him but he was mistaken. The clothes pins in her mouth had caused tha- expression.

NEED OF SPIRITUAL
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

A man was complaining the other day that he somehow had lost in- terest in things, got Into rut as 1t were, and nothing seemed worth while.
 This man has led 8 very active life and has been busy with his business, but he has had no time death at amusements that used to interest him, and he cannot find what is the matter.
 Again, a woman tell me how sor- did the whole game of life seems to her, with very little hope. except to work and worry.
 A girl whom I know is satisfied with dances and parties and good times and is worn to death with all that is being done for her. Tt Is all so much the same" she deplores, and she Is fled up on the whole works"
 As of these people in their various walks of life are unhappy because of one thing. There Is nothing spiritual in their lives.
 On the other hand, I know of a little woman who Is going blind and Is having trouble with her speech. She lives in garret and Is glad. because 1t is haven of hope to her The letters I receive from this wo- man should he read by the people who have lost the capacity for the spiritual things of life.
 This woman is buoyed up because she has developed so strongly the spiritual side that is & great reser- voir of power to her.
 And what Is this spiritual thing that makes men move mountains and keeps up the strength of people when they are weak? It is pust this looking for something beautiful and finding 1t and getting comfort out of 1t.

 The floors were of ice. the walls were of ice end large icicles hung from the ceiling until they almost touched the floors.

Everything that savers of that period known as early Amer jean has come into enormous vogue lately, so that not only have prices risen beyond all reason, but imita- tons are being turned out by the hundreds. Therefore, care must be taken In their selection. The earliest examples, and hence the most valu- able, were usually either square, oblong. or diamond shaped patterns. Then came lowered designs. and the latest pictures all the animals; some even more inviting legends like "Welcome To Our Home"
 Plain colored rugs or carpets are always a safe and satisfactory choice for the living room and bedrooms, and are especially advisable for use in small room, or a roof in which crowded appearance has been given by great deal of furniture. Painted floors, and by this I refer not to the usual wood-colors, but to tho more bizarre shades, have great charm in the right environ mont that Is. the country house or tho informal sort of town residence.
 Whatever rne circumstances, there Is one rule for painted floors which should never be forgotten. That Is, that the floor must not be the first thing noticed in the room. I shall never forget entering a country house recently which had been en- tirely painted by the owner-so she told me with great pride. Some of the walls were quite charming in tone. I must admit, but all the floors downstairs and the steps leading up- stairs were painted a brilliant sal mon pink!
