WHY WOMEN WRITE LETTERS

To Lydia EL Pinkham Medicine Co. Women who are well often ask “Are the letter* which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. are continually publishing, genuine?” “Are they truthful?” •• Why do women write such letten? In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it. The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering. It has relieved women from some of thq worsbforms of female ills, from displacements. inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues. It is impossible for any woman who

Is well and who has never suffered to realize how these poor, suffering women feel when restored to h ealth; their keen desire to help Other women who are suffering as they did.

Worked Too Well.

“Yes," the young medico sighed, “the healing profession is full of difficulties. The other day for instance, 1 had a patient who ought to have gone to a warmer climate. Couldn’t afford it. I decided to try hypnotism. I painted a large sun on the ceiling and by suggestion induced him to think it was the sun." “And how did it work?" inquired the listener. The doctor passed a hand wearily over his brow. * “He’s down with sunstroke,”he said, sadly.

No Extreme Cases.

"What Is meant by an embarrassment of riches, pa?” “That means having more money than you know what to do with.” “Does anybody ever have that much money?” “No, my son. I dare say there is such a thing as embarrassment of riches, but it never reaches the point where it is painful.”

An old bachelor says that the vocalisation at a wedding is even more depressing than the singing at a funeral. Housework Is a Burden It’s hard enough to keep house if in perfect healthy but a woman who is weak, tired and suffering from an aching back has a heavy burden. Any woman in tills condition has good cause to suspect kidney trouble, especially if the kidney action seems disordered. Doan’s Kidney Pills have cured thousands of suffering women. It’s the best recommended special kidney remedy. An lowa Cate SMrs. J. Umphress, w. Eighth st„ vnlisea, lowa, says: “For several years I had an almost constant pain In my back and was in torture when I Btooped. Mornings, my back was so lame, I could hardly get up.

LYDIA E PINKHAM

BACK TO VICTORIA

UGLINESB OF PAST BECOMES BEAUTY OF PRESENT. Art of Paris Is Making Even Worsted Roses Fit for Gowns of Silver Lace—Parrot Passes as Novelty. ▲ young girl, dressed in a frilled muslin with a blue sash, walking along Bellevue avenue at Newport one day last summer', created a sensation by carrying a small bird of brilliant plumage in a fragile gilt cage swung by a ring from her little linger. The city by the «ea, in which simplicity is exploited with the same kind Of artificiality as it Was by Marie Antoinette at the Petit Trianon, came very near being actually, simple for lack of incentive to be otherwise. Therefore, when Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, with the artistic aid of Mrs. Conde Nast and Frank Crowninshield, held a fashion show at her house in the name of a war charity, she was thrice blest both by the residents of Newport and the outsiders. And then a young girl, of undoubted charm and prestige, sauntered along the avenue to the Casino and the Hilltop Inn, dangling 4 bird in a cage from her finger, she was greeted as one who had 'saved a season from that innocuous desuetude which Newport loathes. The idea was greeted with ripples of applause for its audacious novelty. Yet, it was a revival from Victorian days. The girl with her bird did not have her novelty to herself very long. All winter, we have been beseeched to buy exquisite Chinese bird cages with brilliantly plumaged birds seated in them, to be hung in any room of the house, whether a cottage or a palace. 1 ,Tiny birds that glistened like beetles then came into fashion instead of the canary, which resembled a newborn chicken. The milliners seized upon this symbol of Victorianism, the gaudy parrot, and painted and embroidered it on such a quality of hats that the price quickly sank to 98 cents. The parrot has passed as a novelty and a fashionable pastime in millinery,

GOOD MOP MADE AT HOME.

Serviceable and Necessary Implement Constructed from Odds and Ends Found Around House. A mop is almost indispensable in those homes that have polished floors or linoleums, and one made at home will be found to answer almost as well as those expensive ones that are to be bought. To make it, collect together oddments of cloth or flannel, anything in

fact from which -rubbers or floor cloths ure made. Now cut up the cloths such as flannel or flunnelettes, etc., into strips about 8 inches In length and 2% inches in width. *

SHOULD NOT SHOW WAISTLINE

Woman’s Figure Never Looks Well When Divided by Opposing Colors. Here and there, throughout the decades since the separate blouse was invented, there ‘have been individual women who have firmly held to the conviction that a woman’s figure never looks well when -sharply divided at the waistline by two opposing colors and fabrics; and these women have insistently kept on their coats in and out of the house. The coat might have been of a lighter material than the skirt in winter weather when it was intended for the house, but it served the purpose of making a strong line of the same color from shoulder. to heel. J

, Ribbon Modes.

Both wide and narrow ribbons are generally used on gowns and hats, and narrow ribbons are used for rouches, frills and rosettes. Soft silks are used for quillings, both vertical quillings, or in a series, one inside the other. Whole hats are made of moire ribbon with a fancy edge. Smart girdles are made of . three or more shades in pastel colorings. A favorite combination Is roskjrjjk'W'ue and violet. Ribbons with a inetal thread forming the edges and lines running through the middle make them stiff enough -to stand out crisply when shirred to form a niching or plaiting, for U frill.

but another bit of Victorianism Is creeping over the lanfl. It is the worsted rose. France, looking at the past for her clothes inspiration, instead of the present and future, has lifted another bit of fancy work out of early Victorianism and .flung it into the current of the most daring modern fashions. We already have tulle and satin gowns caught up with bulbous roses, made of soft, fine wool, in enchanting colors. Serge suits are caught at the waistline and neck with small roses in green, scarlet, yellow and black. Informal linen suits, in the natural tone of the linen thread, have black and green worsted roses somewhere on the

Hat With Basket Trimming.

surface .where they catch the eye and do the most good. For some months, France has been wearing hats trimmed with large, worsted roses and Alpine flowers done in green and white wool. On whatever material she wishes to put these colored worsted threads, she can do so. Even organdie serves as a suitable background. The fashions that concern ns most ut the present moment, are the crewel rose and the sampler cross stitching. No matter how far a woman is from Paris, she can use both these methods of trimming with a lavish hatfcl.

Some of the strips can be a shorter length and should be In the center of the mop. When sufficient strips have been cut (and this can easily be told by bunching them up until there is a nice fat bundle), tie them together about an inch from the top with string. This must be done very securely by binding the string round and round. Now a long stick will be needed, lik'e a bamboo; if there is not one to hand, one can be bought cheaply. To fasten the mop to the handle, open it out like in the small diagram; run the stick through the center of it. This is easily done. Now take one or two strips of the mop and put over the end of the Stick and drive a nail through the strips and into the stick. In this way the mop is well secured and is as firm as a rock. To work, simply rub the mop along the floors, don’t bend the back at all; it is surprising how the mop will not only take up the dust, but polish the floors; it may be used with some liquid polish if liked, and can be washed again and again by simply dipping it up and down in soapy water and putting it in the open to dry. A similar mop is splendid for walls, picture-rails, etc., but should be made of white or lightly-colored material, and, of course, used for no other purpose than the walls, A trial of one of these home-made mops will more than convince the housewife as to its use, and best of all, it can be made for nothing, which In these times is a great consideration.

in dull green and brocaded pattern in black and white is also, in this class.

The New Sunburst Shirring.

A white taffeta model made over* flesh silk and richly brocaded with natural color cornflowers, showed a skirt set onto the bodice with a heading faced with cornflower blue satin. The yoke section had sunburst shirrings both front and back, which formed butterfly drapery at the sides. Umbrella folds at the side fronts were faced with blue and edged with narrow gold gaioon. This was the nearest approach to the full hip drapery seen among the new skirts foil evening wear.

New Parasols Are Quaint.

The season is conspicuous for tha novelty and charm of its parasols. Among the novelties are sunshades of all kinds of queer and quaint and unusual shapes, many ; of them having stripes that radiate from the stick. Stripes are a great feature, whether the parasol be dome shaped or pagoda shaped. Many of them are copied from the sunshades of our grandmothers, which were with multitudes of miniature frills.

Skirts of White Satin.

White satin skirts severely tailored are offered for sports wear, both in company with coats to match and alone, and while rather an absurdity so far as practical service goes are undeniably charming in connection with simple blouses of crepe Georgette or chiffon and bright lined coats or sweaters.'

MEALS IN WARM WEATHEF

Cold Dishes May Be Made Juet as Ap. . petizing as Hot Ones, and Ar# More Healthful, r If you arrange to have cold sliced meat three or four times a week, see that the rest of the meal is light. But on the days when you serve vegetable dishes as the principal part of the menu make sure that the rest of the meal provides sufficient' nourishment to even up the menu and make it as a whole equal in value to a meat meal. For instance, you might have on Sunday, let us say, cold roast chicken with mashed potatoes, sliced cucumber salad and watermelon or berries. Monday night you might have a cold chicken jelly soup, made from the chicken carcass, a cold baked macaroni and cheese, with hot peas and potato chips, tomato with mayonnaise salad and a good, nourishing pudding with plenty of eggs and butter. Thus, in thfe chicken jelly, in the mayonnaise, made of eggs and plenty of olive oil, nnd in the pudding, .you provide enough nutrition to make up for the difference in nutritive values of the meat and the macaroni dish. Other good substitutes for meat dishes are rice souffle, spaghetti a l’ltalienne, cheese and rice baked, etc. You v will find that almost every kind of salad will be welcome In the warm weather. When you make the salad dressings do not be sparing with the olive oil, for there is even more nourishment in real olive oil than there is A In meat. If you serve dainty cold meals and keep your table looking attractive, the hot weather will make very little difference in the appetite of your family.

To Cook Fresh Fruit.

Cooked fruits are especially good for delicate appetites and digestion. Raw fruits are for those who are stronger and can get all the benefit from them; the benefit is diminished by cooking. The best way of cooking fruit is not by-boiling, Rut by simmering. In cooking very tender fruit bring the sirup to the boiling point, then throw the fruit in the hot sirup, cover tight, remove from the range or fire, and let it stand for half an hour. This applies particularly to berries. To prepare larger fruit, throw it in boiling sirup, cover tight and leave it five minutes on the range; remove and let it stand half an houf. One pound of sugar to one quart of water, or a pound to a pound, is the usual allowance for the sirup.

Whitefish Turbot.

One three-pound whitepsh, one and a quarter teaspoonfuls suit, one-eighth teaspoonful pepper, five cupfuls milk, one cupful flour, one tablespoonful minced parsley, two eggs, one-half cupful butter, three-quarters cupful ol dry bread crumbs, one-half tablespoonful grated onion. Steam the dish till tender, remove the flesh from the bone and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scald one quart of milk and thicken with the flour dissolved in the remaining milk. Season with the onion and parsley, and then pour onto the eggs, beaten; add the butter in bits, whisking it in. Butter a baking dish and put in a layer of fish and then one of sauce, alternating till all is used. Cover with the breadcrumbs and bake 45 minutes in a moderate oven.

Folding a Tablecloth.

The best housekeeper I know insists on having her tablecloths folded three times lengthwise before any cross folding is done. This prevents the ugly hump that invariably comes In the center of the table when the cloth is folded in the usual squares. Not only does the linen set better when thus cared for, but it wears longer, as breaks first come in the creases, and the heaviest threads in a tablecloth are the horizontal ones. Few housewives-know this, but they may. investigate for themselves. Of course these heavier threads are better able to withstand the crease of the iron.— Mother’s Magazine.

Orange Ice Cream.

Boil for 20 minutes a cupful of water, the juice of three oranges and a cupful and a half of sugar. Beat the yolks of four, eggs until creamy and lemon color, and slowly pour over them, beating all the time, as you would for biscuit tortoni, the hot sirup. Add a pinch of salt and heat over hot' water, on the fire, for three minutes. Then remove from the fire and beat until cool. Then add three cupfuls of rich cream, turn into a freezer and freeze.

Lemon Cream Pudding,

Beat yolks of four eggs and four tablespoonfuls of sugar (I use more sugar). Add juice of one lemon and tlie grated rind and two teaspoonfuls of hot water. Cook in double boiler until thickened. - Remove from fire and stir in whites of four eggs beaten stiff with two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Eat cold.

Rice a la Creole.

Chop a large onion, two seeded green peppers and half a cupful of raw ham. Mix vjell and fry lightly in butter. Add a cupful of parboiled rice, three cupfuls of beef stock, one cupful of stewed tomatoes and a teaspoonful of salt Cook slowly until the rice is tender and the liquid nearly absorbed.

When Slicing Bacon.

Always place the rind side flat on the table when slicing'bacon, and do not try to slice through it. When a sufficient number of pieces are cut, slip the knife under them and yon can easily slice them away very close ta the rind.

The Two Dimensions.

The temporary pulpit orator had preached a very long sermon. Even he realized that he had exceeded the modern limit of sermons, and he said to the gentleman to whose home he went for Sunday dinner: “I hope I did not worry you by the length of my sermon.” “Not at all.” said the gentleman, “nor by its depth.”

LOBELIA USED AS A DRUG

American Indians Gathered Plant for Their Chests—Called "Indian Tobacco." American Indians found one plant growing in damp woods, handsome in spikes of pale blue flowers, which they used as medicine. When the white man came the same plant won the.favor both of the apothecary and the gardner, but the gardener has paid more attention to its cultivation than has the apothecary. Hence we know it more as a flower than as a drug. It is the lobelia, named for Matthias Lobel, a Flemish physician and botanist, says the Philadelphia North American. The medicinal substance in the plant is called lobelin. an alkaloid, although the Indians probably didn’t know it The common use of the plant among the aborigines led the early settlers to call it "Indian tobacco.” When it Is cultivated for commerce the seeds are* scattered on the surface of the ground late in fall or early in spring. They germinate early in spring and send down roots. When the flowers are blooming the plants are cut and dried in the shade. An acre of good soil will yield 1,000 to 1,200 pounds of herbs.

Suspicion Confirmed.

A worthy vicar in an English rural parish who preached one Sunday la the interest of foreign missions was surprised on entering the village shop , during the week to be greeted wjth marked coldness by the old dame who kept it. fife asked the cause, and the good woman, producing a half-crown from a drawer, and throwing it down before him, said: “I marked that coin ind put it in the plate last Sunday, and here it la back in my shop. I knowed well them poor Africans never got the money. 1 *

What Impressed Her.

Shortly after Will Crooks; the labor leader, was elected to parliament, aaya an English weekly, he took his little daughter to Westminster. She waa evidently awed at the splendors around her, and maintained a profound and wondering silence all the time. Mr. Crooks was much impressed. "Well,” said he to her at last, “what are you thinking so deeply about, dear?” “I was thinking daddy,” answered the little girl, “that you’re a big man ta our kitchen, but you aren’t very much here.”
