time the program began there were
no vacant seats and many Of the
patients were brought in. in wheeled

the able management of Mrs. Maud

success from every viewpoint. Not
one person who had promised to ap-
pear failed to be there and on time
Every number was encored and could
have been repeated twice had time
permitted. Mrs. Jackson understands
SO well how to manage and surround
herself with a group Of people, always
OF that type who really do things and
do them cheerfully Every number
deserves special mention. One Of the
greatest features Of this affair was the
spirit Of service shown by all who par
ticipated.

"Of course" Btslie Brownie said, Il
am not nearly 50 Iond Of a museum as
am Of a zoo or menagerie where
there are live animals.
I'm museum they have stuffed ami
mails and old, old things. They have
old, old rocks and stones and they
have models Of old Indian villages and
such places"
what are models?" asked one OF
the other Brownies.
"a model of an Indian village is
small imitation Of real one. There
are toy villages made of cardboard.
They could be called model villages
for they are like the real ones.
"Of course a museum teaches one
great deal and Is very. very interest
Ing, only don't like museums as we'll

However, they do help US to know
Of other places and creatures and I've

There was a chimney swallow and
its nest. The chimney swallow you
know cannot perch so he clings. The
nest Is always built in hollow trees
or on the sides Of a chimney for this
reason.
"He wears black feathers and they
make their nest out of little sticks
which are broken up into small pieces.
"Then saw the weaver bird. There
are many kinds Of these birds in At
RIGA. They like the hottest parts of
that country, too. Also some are to
be found in large flocks and the nests,
which are Of grass, are woven neatly
and often take up a whole tree.
"This bird Is black and something
like a sparrow. He wears yellow
feathers on his head.
"He likes to spread over a good deal
Of tree space just as some folks like
to have more room than others.
"Ah, yes, there are many different
things to be seen in a museum and l

A FEELING OF SECURITY

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every bot
tie of Swamp Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need a medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention this paper.-Advertisement.

Ing and daily enjoying. A landscape
window or group Of windows looking
out on beautiful scene, whether land
or waterscape, Is much more to be de-

In the fall and spring when the

How many take the trouble to bind

taken from the magazines, to give to
sick friend who is not strong enough
to hold book or magazine? Such

may be made from the various cover
pages of magazines, many Of them
most beautiful in color and design. A
few minutes now and then spent In
looking over such treasures and TAX
ing half day to get them ready will
be time we'll spent. This Is good work

If one is at all observing and in

garments may be made from old out
of-date dresses and coats. Aprons are
so pretty today, so becoming to most
women, and made of such a variety
Of materials. Old organdie, wolfe and

very artistic creations. With bit Of
lace, a touch of color in embroidery

when serving tea, or late supper over
