Fry about BLOTCHY SKINS . .â€" A Trouble Due to Impure Blood Easily Remedied. Bad blood is the one great cause of bad complexion and blotcliy skins. This is why you must attack the trouble through the blood with Dr. Willianis' Pink Pills. All blotches. boils, ulcers, pimples and paleness are the direct, unmistakable result of Weak blood loaded with impuriâ€" ties. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills con- -quer the position; they drive out all the impurities; they actually make lnew, rich red blood; they strike right at the root of all complexion troubles; they are. a posliiu‘ and perâ€" manent cure for all virulent skin dis- eases like eczcma, scrofula, pimples and crysipelas. They give you a clear, clean soft skin. free from all blemish and full of rosy health. Mr. Matthew Cook, Lambcrton, N. W. ’1‘.. tells how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured him of erysipclas after other medicines had failed. lie Says: “My skin was inflamed; my flesh tender and sore; my head ached; my tongue was coated; I had chills and thought I was taking fever. I tried several medicines, but nothing helped me until I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and drove the trouble from my system, and I am now in the best of health. I think these pills the best medicine in the world for blood troubles. It is an every day record of cures like this that has given Dr. Wilâ€" liam's Pink Pills their world-wide prominence. They cure when other medi'cines fail, but you must get the genuine with the full name: Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo- ple, on the wrapper around every box.

Put them on a hot dish: pour off part of the gravy into another pan, to make a gravy to serve them with, if you choose. Then fry apples, which you have sliced about two- thirds of an inch thick. cutting them around the .apple, so that the core is in the centre of each piece. When they are browned on one side and partly cooked, turn them carefully with the pancake turner, and let them finish cooking; dish around the chops, or on a separate dish. HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS. Bedroom windowa should never be entirely closed, if the owner is strong, and even in winter should be left open at least two inches at the top. When frying Spanish onions, put a plate over the top of the pan to keep in the steam. This makes the onions cook quickly and keer/s all the flavor in. If you are hoarse, lemonâ€"juice squeezed on to soft sugar till it is like a syrup, and a few drops of glycerine added, relieves the hoarse- :ness at once. 6 If cauliflower is boiled with the head downward, well covered with water. it will come out much whiter than if exposed to the air while cooking. To prevent sticking and burning when frying fish, etc, when the fat comes to a boiling point sprinkle the bottom of the pan with salt. This also prevents the fat from splashing. Remember to sweep the carpets the way of the nap, to brush the other way is to brush the dust in. Attend to all stains as soon as possible. If left they will soak into the carpet and be very difficult to remove. When so‘ot falls upon the carpet or rug, never attempt to sweep it up at once, for the result is sure to be a disfiguring mark. Cover it thickly with nicely dried salt, which will eii- nble you to sweep it up cleanly, so that not the slightest stain or smear will be left. To cleanse feathers for a pillow. A Lastng Cure of ltehng P @S 3 4. A Chronic Case of Unusual Severity and Long Standing Cured by Dr. Chase’s Throughout Canada there are hun- dreds of cases similar to the one dcâ€" scribed below in which Dr. Chase's Ointment has proven a positive and lasting cure for the most severe form; of itching piles. Mr. Alex. McLaughlin, for 30 years! a resident of llownianville, Ont”: Writes :â€" "For twenty ldng years I suffered from itching piles. and only persons who have been troubled with that anâ€"l noying disease can imagine what I. endured during that time. About seven years ago I asked a druggist if , he had anything to cure me. Hel said that Dr. Chase's Ointment was' most favorably spoken of, and on: his recommendation I took a box. ! "After three applications I felt bet- ; ter, and by the time I had used one: box I was on a dry. I continued the treatment unâ€" til thoroughly cured. and I have notl sumser aw sir-cc. I am firmly con- Ointment. viiiced that the ointment made ' a perfect cure. “I consider Dr. Chase's Ointment an invaluable treatment for piles. In my case I think the cure was re- markable when you consider that I am getting up in years, and had been so long a sufferer from this disease." Mrs. June It. Scott, North Grenâ€" ville, Cumberland (‘o., N.S., writes: "Last spring I obtained from you a box of Dr. Chase’s Ointment and used it for inward piles. It gave me almost instant relief from the torturing, itching and burning, and as the trouble has never returned I consider the cure a permanent one. lYou may use this statement for the benefit of others."

A little boy once went to visit his dear grandmamma, who lived a long, long way off in the country. He wore his best suit and his ruffled blouse, and he carried his nightgown rolled up in a nice bundle. He rode all the long, long way in the 'milkâ€" man’s cart, and he thOUght he was going to have a beautiful time. But when he had a few minutes at his grandmamma's, he began to feel very lonesome. The grandmanima lived in a little red house with a flower garden and a farm, and fields and fields, and an attic, and a hammock on the piazza. But the little boy was lonesome. He sat in the hammock and kicked with his new shoes and several large tears dropped down on his ruffled blouse and took out the starch. He was sorry that he had come. Just as he was feeling so very un- happy, thc grandmamma's large gray tabby cat came purring up on the piazza. She. rubbed against the little boy’s legs, and she said, “What's the matter ?” "Oh, I'm so very lonesome." the little boy, "aren't you ‘2" said "No, indeed,” said the tabby cat. "I have. too much to do to think about being lonesome. You just come around to the barn and my kittens." So the tabby cat led the way to the barn, and the little boy followed after, sobbing every step of the way and saying, "Boo-hoe, booâ€"hoo.” tabby cat made him climb up 1he ladder to the hay loft and there he saw three little white kittens, and three little gray kittens. Oh, they were. cunning, and they had their faces washed, and they chased their tails, and they rolled over and over in the funniest way, and the tabby cat sang to them. “Purr, purr, mew, mew ! We never could cry with so much to do." The little boy forgot to cry for a minute, watching them, but pretty soon he sat down on the top of the ladder and began to boo-hoo again. As he was sitting there, a nice fat 580 spider crawled up beside him and said: “What’s the matter, little boy ’2” “Oh, I’m so lonesome. booâ€"hoo !" the little boy said. “Aren’t you lonesome, too ’2" “Lonesome, dear no,” said the old spider. “I haven’t time to be.” Then she began to make a web from the top of the ladder to the highest barn window. When she came to the top of the window she hurried to the ladder again with the spool of thread which she carried in her pocket, singing all the day: "Over and under, through and through, I never could cry with so much to do." The little boy forgot to cry for a while, but before long he lay down in the hay and squeezed out two tears. He was just. beginning to beoâ€"hoo when he spied a little mud house at the top of the eaves. A mother swallow flew out, and said: "What’s the matter, little boy ?" “Oh, I'm very lonesome," the little boy said. "I suppose you are, too." “Not all,” said the mother swallow. "Don’t you see. how busy I am ’2" The little boy watched and he saw she was flying in and out of the born (1001', bringing wet mud in her bill. Then she flew out the door for more mud. singing all the way : "Nests and eggs, and babies, too; at I never could cry with so much to do." The little boy was beginning to feel a. mite happier now. He. climbed down the ladder from the loft and wont out into the orchard. He sat the grass and ate. a large red apple. left but the core, he remembered that he was lonesome, and he cried one tear on his rufllcd blouse. An old mooly cow who was all alone near by, eating grass. came up close to him and said: "What's the, matter, little boy ‘2" “Oh, I’m so lonesome," said the little boy. "Aren't you ?" "Bless me, no," said the mooly cow. "I’m too busy. Don’t I have to chew all day to make cream and milk for you and when it comes way down to the bars and get milked? -I'm doing something all the time. “Cream for butter and custards, mooâ€"o ! I never could cry with so much to do." ‘ The little boy stopped crying for just a minute and then he heard his dear grandinamma calling: John, John, come into the kitchen a min- ute.” . So he went into the kitchen and his dear grandmamma. asked him to When there was nothing; 4 i shell some round green peas into a bright tin pan.

There is said to be at least one man. in London, England, who earns a- livingâ€"or eks out an income from other sourcesâ€"â€"by a. habit he has conâ€" tracted of meeting with accidents. According to a statement in the Southwark County Court recently this enterprising individual is known to have accomplished five more or less successful accidents in the last year or twoâ€"and to use a common form of application for damages afâ€" terward. It was a ladder on two occasions, a cellarâ€"flap on the remaining three. The “victim” was stated to have claimed £50 unsuccessfully after the- last mishap, but one. Then, it was represented, he claimed £15 against a publican, but the solicitms he enâ€" gaged withdrew on learning of his la- mentable record of accidents, and the Suit fell through. Now a barrister aslng on behalf of the publican and the public for costs on the higher scale. Judge Addison was sympathetic. "I remember," observed his honor, “once being in a case where a man used purposely to fall over carpets put down across the pavement to save dainty ball shoes, etc., from beâ€" ing soiled. “But instead of my getting any good by showing that he had several times purposely fallen over carpets, a. noble law lord, who tried the case, was very much interested in the man's favor, and thought it was very hard that he. should have met with so many accidents.” However“ Judge Russell that he had no power to grant present application. decided the “But,” argued the barrister, “you have power to Certify where it is a matter of public importance. And where you get a man of this kind, who mach it his hobby in life to go 'about and put his feet through peo- ple's cellar flaps or coal gratings or to run up against ladders and then claim damages, it is a matter of public importance to reSist such ,claims.” "If you could stop people altogeth- 'er from falling down outside public houses it would be conferring a great boon." admitted the judge. “That is most essential," rejoined the other, "but failing that we are tryingr to stop a man who doesn't fall, but says he docs.”“ ~-â€"â€"â€"¢ IN AN OLD TRUNK.
