Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold, or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take a chance
with any remedy less potent than
Circumcision, which goes right to
the seat Of the trouble and aids ma
ture to soothe and heal the infamed
mucous membranes and to loosen
and expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained from the very first
bottle. Creomulsion is one word-not
two, and it has no hyphen in 1t.
Ask for it plainly, see that the name
on the bottle is Creomulsion, and
you'll get the genuine product: and
the relief you want. (Adv.)

IN THE sketch at the upper left
you see the pieces of a daven-
port slipcover fitted with seam
lines pinned. The material is
wrong side out as the welt or cord
ed seams must be stitched from
the inside of the cover.
Before the seams around the
front of the arms are pinned as at
A the arm cover edge of the seam
must be gathered as at B. 1t is
important to allow just enough
material so the arm cover fits
easily.
The cable cord that is covered
with bias material and fitted into
the seams to make the welt may
be purchased at any notion coun-
ter. The material to cover it must
be cut on a true bias and stitched
in place as shown here at c.. The
cording foot attachment for your
machine must be used for this
stitching so the sewing will come
close to the cord. The next step is
to either haste or stitch the COW
cred cord to one edge of the right
side of the seam as shown here
at D. Then, using the cording
foot again, stitch the seam as
shown. Clip the seam edges
around curves so they will not
draw.
1t will be necessary to leave an
opening in the back to be fastened
with snaps. Openings must be
arranged on the underside of the
seam cushions as shown here at E.

"Mother Goose" Rhymes
Traced to a Frenchman

There was a Mother Goose who
lived in Boston two centuries ago,
but she was not the first to give this
name to nursery rhymes. The name
came from the French in an indi-
rect way, states a writer in the
Detroit News, and is as follows:
A famous French author of fairy
tales, Charles Perrault, published in
1897 a collection of these tales in
Guiding the we'll known RED Riding
Hood" On the frontispiece was
pictured an old woman spinning and
telling these stories, and on plac-
ard nearby was a French inscription
meaning Tales of My Mother
Goose" Why he chose this name is
not certain, but there was kindly
person in French legend, Queen
Goosefoot, who was noted for her
incredible stories and for her friend
illness to children.
A Boston publisher, Thomas Fleet,
son-in-law Of Mrs. Elizabeth Goose,
published in 1919 collection Of
nursery rhymes and jingles which
he called Songs for the Nursery, or
Mother Goose's Melodies for Chill.
dren." This was just ten years aft
er Perrault's book was published in
English, and the name was evident
ly derived from it.

nEAR MISS DENE: am twenty
- five years old and the girl I
love is very anxious to get married.
Her people have money and we can
go to live with them after our mar
riage but I am against this. How
ever, my fiancee insists and says
she will not wait to marry me if /
don't agree. Actually couldn't give
her a home of her own for two or
three years and she knows this. But
she is keen on my: living with her
parents, and for some reason cam
not look to the future with any en-
joyment. I am worried and upset
about this affair. Give me your
opiniOn.-D. r.. X.
ANSWER-When maiden is so
determined to marry that she actu-
ally forces heryoung man to the altar
against his wishes and against all
rules of common sense, she is dem
onstrating clearly the fact that she
is more in love with the idea Of
marriage than with her future hus-
band.
And she is also showing a lack Of
character which BODIES ill for her
matrimonial future. It is sheer
weakness to rush into marriage
when there isn't sufficient capital to
finance the undertaking. 1t argues
that the impatient lady is over anx-
ious to attain to the dignity Of be-
ing a 'Mrs. that she is perhaps
too much concerned with showing
her friends that she's captured her
manor that she fears ridicule it

cry is therefore: "Give me mar.
