'HOMES’ AND 'HOUSES’ TERMS THAT ARE NOT BY ANY MEANS SYNONYMOUS. Mort Women Underetand the Differ ence and Know It la Tbelr Task to Create Atmosphere Making for Happiness. Home-making la an exquisite art. Let us hope that we are not in Sanger oi losing it. When people live in a flat foi eight months of the year; in a shack or a cramped boarding house for four; change their legal residence every few years, and spend most of their hours of recreation In getting as far away from home as possible in an automobile, home seems like a vanishing memory. Apparently some people do not even understand what "home” means. They come hrto your living room and say, ’’What a beautiful .home you have!" They mean what a beautiful house you have; they know nothing about your home. A home Is not merely a house; it is an atmosphere, a feeling. It is a place full of beloved associations, where you can wear old clothes, and think old thoughts, and hear familiar voices without hearing them. You cat} be happy there, and be comfortably unhappy, be thoroughly unpleasant even, and know that those you love will think no worse of you than they do already. Luxury cannot make a home, nor can books, or pictures, or rugs, or bric-a-brac. A cat, a canary, two geraniums, a Bible, and an old rockingchair may make one of the loveliest homes in the world. At the same time, a home is not necessarily happy because it is the house of poverty, as some would have us believe. The art of creating home atmosphere is wholly the art of woman, and she has none more charming. Mere care will not do it, or. mere neat ness and tidiness; Indeed, those things sometimes work the other way. The love of prettiness will not do it; good cooking will not do ft, although it is a mighty help. Even being gay end merry and-kindly yourself is not quite enough, although it helps even more than the cooking. Success in home-making, as in everything elite, requires that you shall feel a real joy in your work. If it is a drag, if It is an Irksome duty, it your mind is on 1,000 outside things that are not home, you cannot make home what it should be.

Not that the home-maker should think of nothing else. That is neither desirable nor possible. But the woman whose first pleasure is to create that beautiful thing, home, will be a precious and permanent influence not only to her own family, but to all her household, to all her guests, to the whole community in which she lives. —Youth’s Companion. Child Interrupts Fierce Battle. During a battle fought on a hilltop in France the attacks df the Germans became so fierce that little ground remained betweeu the two enemies. The French finally were compelled to retire and sought refuge in a neighboring village. From a small house a little girl came out with a cat clasped in her small arms. With surprised eyes she looked at the soldiers. When the Germans entered the village a captain, observing the child, carried her safely to the other side of the road. The French had hidden behind a fence and noticed that the Germans were surrounding the child Suddenly a shot was fired. A German fell. His comrades pushed on. The fight continued. Two days later the German captain wrote to his wife: “The guns of the French, the heroism of the enemy did not stop us, but an innocent child. I believe that if men could retain the innocence and purity of a child we all would be best protected.” Work for Women. Necessity is forcing women into all the so-called "gainful occupations.” There is hardly an occupation listed A 1910 census for the United States in which woman is not represented. Woman’s presence in some comes with the effect of a shock to those who fondly dream that every woman has a home and her place Is in it. There are, for instance, 77 woman lumbermen (raftsmen and wmodchoppers) in the United States. There are 2,550 woman stock herders and raisers, 45 quarry operators, 31 blacksmiths, 15 brick and stone masons and 44 longshoremen. Many women have traveled far up the road to success in their work. Ten women head iron foundries. There are 325 woman bankers and 1,347 bank cashiers. Nearly a thousand women are wholesale dealers. One woman is listed as a railroad official. Three are proprietors of ferairi elevators. Lightning Steals Wrench. During a thundershower In South JJgremont, Mass., lightning Stole a jnonkey wrench from C. E. Chase, proprietor of a garage, and it cannot be found. Str. .Cliime picked up the wi-'ench tn tinker with an automobile, when albnfe came a terrific bolt and, quick as a flash, took it from his hand. While the bolt was “monkeying" around in the garage it keeled over Frank A. Chase, son of the proprietor. The father and son, neither of whom was seriously hurt, have searched the garage from cellar to root for the wrench without avail. A house and several trees in the center of the town also were struck.

True Secret of Keeping - Youthful Looking - (Tb» Bon.uty 3eek«r ) "Tha real secret ot keeping young-look-ing and beautiful," says a well-known hygienist, “is to keep the liver and bowels normally active. Without theee requisites, poisonous waste products remain in the system, polluting the blood and lodging In various organs, tissues. Joints. One becomes liabby, obese, nervous, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrinkled and sallow of face. "But to get liver and bowels working ns they ought, without producing evil after-effects, has been the problem. Fortunately, there Is a prescription of unquestioned merit, which may now be had In convenient tablet form. Its value is due largely to an ingredient derived from the humble May apple, or Its root, which has been called 'vegetable caloniei’ because of its effectiveness—though ot course it Is not to be classed with the real calomel of mercurial origin There Is no habit-forming constituent In ’sentajUel" tablets —that's the name—and their use Is not followed by weakness or exhaustion. On the contrary, these harmless vegetable tablets tend to impart tone and elasticity to the relaxed Intestinal wall. Sentanel tablets, which may be procured from any druggist—a dimes worth will do—will prove a revelation to any constipated, liver-troubled person.” I Chief Cause of Pimples, Blotches, Sallow Skin (Messenger of Health.) Unsightly eruptions, pimples, bolls, blotches, sallow or muddy skin, usually are due to a sluggish liver, a constipated bowel—and a polluted blood stream as a consequence. How foolish In such cases to resort to outward applications, which can never have natural, permanent results. If more people only knew It, there |s a very simple remedy, to be found In any drug store, which Is as effective as it Is harmless and quick acting. It Is an old formula, long recognized by the medical profession, which has been put In tablet form, and at such small cost no one need now be deprived of Its wonderful benefits. "Sentanel tablets”—that’s the name—pre entirely vegetable and there's no nablt-formlng ingredient. You need only get about a dime’s worth, and swallow one at bedtime to realize there’s nothing else quite so good for the purpose. Tha action in the morning Is so easy, so soothing, and Instead of a weakening aftereffect, you feel truly refreshed and Invigorated. Sentanel tablets are not only the finest remedy known for constipation and torpid liver, but offer the sanest, most sensible treatment for complexion difficulties ot the character mentioned. Great Demand for New Constipation Remedy They say that the advent of the "sentanel tablet” as a vegetable substitute for calomel has resulted in an extraordinary demand for this remarkable product. It stems to have made a hit particularly with those afflicted with chronic constipation, who were quick to recognize its advantages over calomel and the usual laxatives. Sentanel tablets, aside from their efficacy, doubtless owe their success largely to a tendency to aid In bringing about natural functioning—instead of e»wou»aglng the “cathartic habit." Also. Instead of injuring the membraneous lining ot the organs involved, they exert a healing influence. Instead of weakening, they add tone to the intestinal wall. And they work so easily and gently, they are .st course preferred on this account to tha violently acting purgatives. Their Inexpenslveness is another reason for the popularity of sentanel tablets. One need procure only a dime’s worth, and take one tablet upon retiring, to be convinced that the ideal remedy for constipation, torpid liver, and their many evil consequences, has finally. been found.—Druggists lieview, ...
