RED ROSE OR .- ANGE PEKOE T-fl -. ii i ii 4mm THE WORST is YET TO COME M “ A 'PAINFUL stunt? AND NEURAle (‘nused by Starved Nerves Due to Weak, Watery Blood. People think of neuralgia as u pain’ in the head or face. but neuralgia may, effect any nerve of the body. Differ-‘ ent names are given to it when it at“ fccts ceriuin uervas. Thus neuralgia. of the Sciatica nerve is called sciatica,‘ but the character of the pain and the nature of the distase is the some, and the remedy to be effective, must be the some. The pain, whether it takes the form of sciatica or whether it at: itects the face and head, is caused by, starved nerves. The blood, which normally carries nourishment to the nerves, for some reason no longer does so and the excruciating pain you feel LOOKING AHEAD FOR THE materials may be used to brighten the CHILDREN. room by the addition of a tiny bZtUdI one acre of our fann has been set or edging of color to match the paper. aside for the children, our boy is With the heavier cloth like the un- four and our girl is two.

Espe- i is the cry of the starved nerves for i food. The reason why the blood fails {to properly nourish the nerves is us- lually because the blood itself is weak and thin.

The cher-tI ries, pears, and other varieties‘will of courso come along later. We plan to prune, spray, and care for the trees ourselves until they are older, and, allow the children to market the fruitf to their own profit. We are within' twenty minutes of a good market, and of course there will be some market at: our gate, which is on the public] highway. We are also setting out berry plants for them on the border of our place.i These will be bearing soon, and can picked by the children when they are older. Then the boy has eight hens, which he helped to hatch in the spring. He’ keeps these hens in a separate coop and feeds and waters them regularly. We believe that when the children are ‘older all this will bra-healthful. work for them in the summer vaca-f tions, right at home, and they Willi have a measure of responsibility. The' boy is already proud of his part own- ership in the trees, and in time they both will swell their savings-account for college from the sale of the fruit. They will be managing, under direc- tion, a' small business of their own. They will be kept busy. So far I’ve found that when my children are kept busy and interested, automatically they are goodâ€"C. J. CURTAINS ARE IMPORTANT. t l t i cially is this true in the bedrooms where bed covers may be made to match. Cheesecloth is likewise a Sen- sitive and fascinating material to use ~â€"and a dipping in the dye-pot will make it any color you wish. The light filters through it very nicely, and it is very pretty for almost any room in the house. Texture needs a word. Some maâ€" terials are rough, some are smooth. If your wall paper is very smooth. it is bcst to avoid using a coarse tex- ture or rough-feeling material at the window. If the paper or wall is rather rough, then avoid the smooth- linished material. These are small points, but they often make a grcat difference in the way a room feels to you. The mixture of textures is like having tWo people contradicting you at the same momentâ€"very disturbing. THAT SMELL OF COOKING. The pleasant smell of dried coffee grounds sprinkled on a hot shovel will counteract the unpleasant odors of cooking in a house. A few of the grounds shattered on the top of the kitchen range will keep the smell of food from spreading to other rooms. Try this plan when fish is being fried. Rooms in which people have been smoking usually have a stale smell when opened in the morning. This can be largely prevented if, before go- ing to bed at night, a big bowl or a pail of water is put in the room. ‘When there is illness and Windows in rooms must to a large extent be kept closed, It takes only a tiny touch of bright the air may be delightfully freshened colors to set a mom ofi,’ and the first if some dried lavender is put in a thing we know, instead of a drearyrbowl and this is then covered with stupid, rather tiresome feeling place,”ery hot water‘ The addition Of a “t' we have a bright, cheerful, attractive “3 drle orange peel makes the frag‘ room. The curtains and draperies af- ford a chance to indulge in livelier; color than we can use in the wall' paper, rugs, or upholstery. i ' They need not be expensive. There are innumerable materials with which we may get the prettiest of effects without paying an enormous sum of money. First of all, have you looked over the ginghams and chambrays in your local dry-goods store? Have you con- sidered the possibilities of the voiles, or cheesecloth, or dress muslins, and unbleached cotton cloth? Every one of these materials ofi'ers an almost un- limited opportunity for pretty and in- expensive curtains, with the addition of a little ingenuity and a little taste. Then there are the pretty and inex- pensive cretonnes and chintzes. The darker ones for dining and living- rooms, the lighter ones for the bed- rooms. In the more expensive ma- terials, there are the thin silks andi the sunfasts, the velours and velvets.i But the secret of making the room' bright and attractive lies in getting;‘ the right color and the right texture. The color must match the wall paper, he a little stronger. so as to separate the window from the wall a little, and, also be something like the rug and‘ upholstery in tone. For example, tan wells may have tan, ecru, brown, or, i ,8, 4, 5 and 6 years. rance more agreeable. A PRACTICAL PLAY SUIT FOR BOY OR GIRL. 4242.

Rhoades, I read a doctors statement ,3 er the Great had conquered the “'Orld'l about a woman who had become so afraid of eating that she was prolong-f ing a miserable and sick existence on' nothing except a few sips of sweetened 1 water a day. Others live so much in fear of germs that they will not lay their hands upon a doorknob, and, if, they are obliged to pass a coin to ai car conductor, they handle it withl paper. One woman of whom I have' lately heard makes her life a torture to herself and cuts it off from the nor- mal, helpful intercourse with others because she is possessed with the fear of accidental contact with certain forms of disease or of lurking danger in glass particles and such things. The habit of seeing things out of their true proportion is everlastineg causing misery. .We let ourselves brood on the hardships of our lot and underrate the joys that life also offers. or we fix our attention on the dangers all round us and disregard the glory of living a life of usefulness end brave ad- venture in the midst of risk. It is of course true that at times disease is sent broadcast into a community by some one's ignorance or carelessness, and the act teaches us the necessity of being honorably careful. But we know also that for the most part the danger- ous germs that get into the body are destroyed by minute friendly organ- isms that are working for health. Most people who touch doorknobs do not die from the contact. And in any case are not the helpful tasks of daily life worth performing even in the face of some risk? The act is that life is a hazardous business. That is the kind of discip- line to which God has subjected us. But God calls us to live our lives, not in fear and dread, but in trust and con- fidence and hopeful expectation. Why be always expecting the worst? We walk in the midst of risks and dangers but happy are they who go forward day by day in strong confidence in the goodness of the universe. who hold that faithful living of the life of love leads to a happy issue, and who ex- pect to find that happy issue someway somewhere in God's good time. _.«â€"â€".â€"9~â€".._.

The teacher had been telling the going on from one country to another, until at last there was nothing more She re- lated how, after he had conquered In- dia, instead of giving a great feast to celebrate his victories, he set down and wept bitterly. “Now, children," she asked. “why do you think Alexander wept '.’" Bobby was in the back row and up' went his band. “Yes, Bobby?” beaming. “Please, miss," came the eager, if in- correct reply, “because he didn't know the way back.” .â€"_._~_4;t__._.

As proof of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ment of Mrs. Marion Bell, Port Elgin. Ont., who says:â€"â€"“Some years ago I was attacked with sciatica. in my leg and hip. The pain was excruciating Apparently all the doctor could do was to give me drugs to dull the pain, as notherwise I found no relief. I had been in bed with the trouble for eight. weeks when a lady who came to see me said that she had had a similar at~ ' tack, and had only found relief through the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I decided at once to try this medicine, and before I had taken more than three boxes I found relief. the use of the pills and under the treat- ment the pain left me. I was able to walk again, and have not since had the least return of the trouble. I feel that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been of such great benefit to me that I strongly urge similar sufferers to give them a, fair trial." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. RM Tip from the Chaplaln. The rector of a fashionable London church. was induced to preach at a well-known prison. When in the ves- try he said to the prison chaplain: “Now I have come, .I don’t knowwhat to say to your convicts.” The chap- lain replied, “Preach to them exactly as you do to your own congregation; and remember only one thing: my people have been found out and yours have notâ€"yet." l l CHEVROLET ~can be bought on easy terms HE low cost and has brought th and convenience of mobile within easy 1' of Canadians. easy terms of Chevrolet e great utility, comfort a fully-equipped auto- each ofâ€"a large number And, Chevrolet priceâ€"though it is the lowest of any quality car in the worldâ€"is the full and complete cost of the car.
