TANLAC FREES
JOHN BURkHARDT OF
TROUBLES
Flat on Back, Super Medicine
Puts Him Back on Job

In a few days quicker than you
ever thought possible-that super
medicine Tanlac starts to prove
its merit. And amazing though it
may seem, the more stubborn and
unyielding the case may be, the
more remarkable is the work that
Tanlac does in Strengthening out
weak disordered stomachs. It's a
real medicine formulated accord
ing to modern medical science
that's why-not just a patent
medicine" that makes a lot of ri
diculous claims to cure every
thing. Tanlac was prepared for
the specific purpose Of strengthen
ing the ailing organs of digestion
and because every ingredient in it
is designed for helping the good
work along, it has won easy vic
tories where everything else has
failed. And remember this, when
stomach troubles are ended you'll
be absolutely amazed at the way
bowel troubles, constipation, dir
illness, headaches, and even rheu-
matism usually disappear COM
pletely. Tanlac has brought glori-
Gus new health TO hundreds right
here in this town. Among the re-
cent cases is Mr.. John Burkhardt
who says: 81 was fiat on my back
when I started taking Tanlac. A
few doses began to improve my
appetite, my digestion grew better
and / was soon back on the job"
Every mail brings enthusiastic
letters of testimonial-52.0 00, 900
bottles have been sold. Guaran-
teed by all the druggists 50 ac-

color. For instance-if a scarf
Is Of fox, or some fur intended
to resemble fox, it will look
like blue fox, red fox, cross,
silver or king fox-all natural
fox types.
In other words, foxes are not
being dyed so much this year
in queer, exotic or pastel
shades.
Fox scarfs are usually Of q
single animal skin, while the
smaller animals are worn in
double or sometimes triple
skins.
Flat Fur ScarfS
Newer, and second in i'm
portance in spring fur fashions,
is the fur scarf that is cut
and worn like a silk scarf.
These are made of soft, flat,
thin furs like galyak, baby lamb,
lapin or ermine, and are most
often seen in beige or white,
with black next in fashion.
There are two main types
Of these flat fur scarfs. One
is long and narrow and can
be tied in Ascot or cravat
fashion or at the side in a
bow.
The other is cut on the order
Of a triangular scarf or fichu
effect and is worn softly
draped.

types Of spring fur scarfs look,
and how they are worn most

AFTERNOON
TEA TALK

During the chill damp days
Of spring, a steaming cup Of
tea is a gracious and wise
means of welcoming guests.
Tea is so easily prepared and
may be served in such a variety
of ways that the afternoon tea
hour need never be monoto-
nous. Tea served with sugar
and cream is, Of course, pre-
ferred by some. I like to vary
this with sliced lemon, each
slice attractively decorated
with a whole Glove. slices of
small oranges, or perhaps, a
bit of candied ginger in each
cup.
Sugar cubes may now be pur-
chased in many and varied col
ors, which make an attractive
addition to the afternoon tea.
The ingenious hostess, how
ever, may tint her sugar cubes
at home. Food colorings are
obtainable at the stores in
delicate pink, green, yellow or
violet. Tint quarter cup OF
water with sufficient coloring
and apply with a dropper.
Too much water will, Of course,
dissolve the cubes, but a little
will tint them very attractively.
Sandwiches for afternoon tea
are seldom made Of meat,
though minced chicken, ham,
or Sardines beaten to a paste,
are sometimes used. The
bread is cut very thin and en-:
closes a bit of lettuce spread
with mayonnaise, chopped
olives, or watercress. An at
tractive sandwich is made from
small Vienna rolls split not
quite through and spread with
a vegetable filling
Another tea sandwich Is made
by spreading jelly or preserves
between two salt crackers. II

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOIIett.

The dear girls are taking
their faces to the beautyoriums
now for a special greasing that
is known as the oil facial. The
prolonged anointment begins
with a liquid cream which is
wiped away with pads of gauze,
the idea being to have the skin
suface thoroughly clean before
the pulchritudinous rites begin.
A piece Of absorbent coffin is
dipped into cold salt water,
then into oil Of sweet almonds
and the cash customers face
is slapped and swatted. That
process goes on merrlly for 10
minutes. A heavy cream is ap.
piled, the operator dips her
fingers into + ice-cold water,

orous tapping. There is
quick treatment with the ultra
violet ray, an application Of an
aStringent, and the patron
looks upon a complexion that
is clear and rosy.
They call those small puffs
that appear on the nape of the
nape sausage ringlets," which
is not a name that impresses
the beauty-quester. There are
also small curlS. And, Of
course, buns and crullers. The
list reads like a menu card.

This little suit, sketched here,
has so many good fashion
points that we decided it was
worth a story all by itself.
First and foremost it is a typi-
cally "dressmaker" suit, femi-
nine and slightly formal in line,
yet simple and sophisticated.
1t Is in navy, the leading color
both in Paris and America, and
1t Is combined with pink. Pink
Is important for it's own sake,
and is smarter than ever when
1t Is combined with navy.
The suspenders are new and
amusing attached to the cape,
buttoning on to the skirt to
hold the cape in place. The
skirt is, Of course, the popular
tuck-in type, slim Of hipline
with fullness below. It is in
tricately scanned, so that the
fullness falls softly in becoming
folds.
The shoulders Of the cape are
carefully fitted, as they should
be on all smart capes. The top
Of the cape is scanned in yoke
effect, just another detail that
adds to it's "dressmaker" ap-
pearance, and it is finger-tip
length, another fashion point.
The blouse, in addition to it's
important color, has the new
higher neckline, finished with a
cravat-like tie. 1t is soft and
"dressmaker" in feeling, though
the shining buttons and higher
neckline give it a bit of a
"shirtwaist" look. The lining
Of the cape matches the blouse.
The accessories are as smart
as the suit. In this case they
are carried out in matching col
or. The hat is Suzanne Talbot's
new rough straw beret. Though
the straw is coarse-woven in ap-
pearaI1ce, it Is soft as a piece Of

SpOtIeSs Table Linen

OpUOACDS Il 0OAC
If you launder your table
linen at home, you know how
aggravating it is to have grease
spots pop" out when they are
ironed. Close inspection Of ta-
blecloths, napkins and doilies
before washing will reveal the
spots, and if they are rubbed
with a little carbon tetrachloride
before they are put into the
wash water, it will dissolve the
grease and the linen will come
out spotless.
Odds and Ends in Laundering
Belts and ribbon sashes that
give so much difficulty with
tangling and are sometimes lost
in the washing machine can be
kept together in a small knitted
bag. One of the bags made for
storing lettuce can be kept for
this purpose.
Furniture not protected with
castors often scratches polished
floors. This can be avoided if
discs of felt are glued to the
bottoms Of the legs Of the fur
niture.
