This applies to table linens also. Every set of napkins and each tablecloth should bear the housewife‘s surname initial or her monagram embroidered upon it. There is a question as to the proper place to put them, but the majority prefer the letter on a table' cloth to be in one corner, where it will just show off the rounded edge of the table. Napkins should have the initials in the corner or in the middle on one side, Where they will be on top when the napkins are folded. Tea napkins are the only ones on which a wreath can appropriately be placed. It is quite permissible to place an initial within the wreath or other deâ€" ‘ corative motif. be finished with hemstitched or scal- loped edges. Some women may argue that they haven't time to put embroidâ€" ery on household linen. This is a poor argument, for almost every womâ€" 1 an has a few moments during the day . when she sits_down to chat with a friend. They Millie; A Different lllan What B.

The speaker was Mr. Benjamin Draper, well known and lhighly respected here. He is a fine healthy representative of the prairie provinces and he says he owes health to Dodd's Kidney Pills. “I was in bad shape all round when I started to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills," Mr. Draper continued. “My trouble- came from hard work when I was young. My joints got stiff, my muscles cramped and I suffered terâ€" ribly from a sore back. I was de- pressed and low spirited, I was always thirsty and I had flashes of light beâ€" fore my eyes. “I had rheumatism and heart flut- terings, my appetite was fitful, my memory was failing- and I was troubled with shortness of breath. Four boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills made me a new man." Dodd's Kidney Pills cured all Draper’s troubles because they all came from Isick kidneys.
