In order to do this she must care for them as is their due. ‘The textile of a dress determines in large -measure just how .it should be treated. Silk should be pressed just as seldom as possible, since extreme heat is injurious. It actually “takes the life” out of it. Just hanging some silks— taffetas, for instance—in a closet that is kept warm because it is next to a chimney will cause the textile to become tender. This is due to the sizing in the silk. It is impossible not to use the sizing in some types of silk that women find desirable for dresses. In other in- stances the sizing is used to give body to the goods. Know that pressing is not good for silk, it is important to keep wrinw kles from the textile. Therefore imme- diately a silk frock is taken off it should be hung’ carefully on a coat hanger. Never for a moment toss the frock on a chair or allow it to remain in a rumpled state. Parisians are punctilious about such treatment of their froeks. Cotton and linen frocks can be re- stored to_their pristine beauty by laun- dering. If a high sheen is wanted, use a hot iron and heavy pressure. If a raised weave or pattern should be brought out, iron on the wrong side and have a thick padding on the ironing taken off. Woolen frocks and the soft, light- weight velvets should be hung occa- sionally where damp air can blow through them. This will smooth out many wrinkles. Woolen frocks should be ironed on the wrong side dpre{arlbly, and with a slightly dz;'m: loth under the iron. The cloth revent the undesirable glossy surface being given the gmcood:, and it must be used when the k is pr on the right side. It also prevents the tiny filaments of wool from getting scorched, as they are quick to do otherwise, and so the use of thx:“dni::p ?l?m ’fmbut wheth:;‘gu on the ri or wrong e. i ks should be hung out of doors occasionally, not nece: in the sun- light, for this may fade the colors, but where the air can blow through them and so keep them fresh. The materials that do not rumple, such as knit weaves, should have this treatment. The frocks should be put away where there is no danger of the weave getting caught on hooks, nails, pins, etc., that will pull strands and make unsightly places in the goods. If some come, pull the loop or ends through to the wrong side, where they will show. (Copyright, 1929.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Sand Toys. One mother says: There were several shoe horns nbg;t |the house which we never used. y children were always wanting to take out my kitchen spoons and even my silver ones when they could not find enough of the kitchen ones to their sandpile. Altogether I found six shoe horns, and with the ald of some red, llow and green lacquer which I had left from some painting I transformed the shoe horns into the best little sand "difn " you ever saw. To add to their attractiveness and their use I printed the alphabet on them in con- trasting colors, so that they were use- ful in teaching them the alphabet as well as being the most desirable of all their sand toys. .

Renew Your HEALTH 1f the reading of this article teaches m only this one lesson about your own y it may be worth more than millions of dollars to you; for of what use is money without health, or after you are dead? The lesson is this:—“Keep your sys- tem pure and you will have health and strength to gain and enjoy happiness, success and length of years.” But you may ask:— How Can I Keep My System Pure? That is not a hard question to answer, for physiology plainly teaches you that your liver, which is larger than all of the other glands of the body combined, has the special work of purifying your blood and thereby your entire system and of keeping it pure and healthy. How Does the Liver Purify? Physicians tell us that the liver has several functions, one of which is to man- ufacture a greenish-yellow, bitter fluid called bile, which, between meals, is stored up in the gall-bladder, but after each meal is poured out into the intes- tines. The bile is purgative and antisep- tic or prophylactic. In health it is your bile that makes your bowls act regularly and freely every day—it is Nature’s purgative. It is your bile that keeps your bowls pure, clean and free from fermen- tation (gas), putrefaction and decay. Re- member that germs do not thrive where there is fresh bile and there can therefore be no fermentation to cause gas, nor pu- trefaction to.produce poisons or toxines. Also, as bile 1s Nature’s purgative, there can be no constipation if the bile is flow- ing naturally and freely from the gall- bladder into the bowels after each meal. But when the bile becomes stagnant your bowls stop acting regularly and the contents become a breeding bed for the germs of fermentation (gas), decay and disease. These poisons (called toxines) are gradually absorbed into {our blood and circulate all over your ody, poisoning, irritating or inflaming your brain and nerves, your muscles and joints, your heart, lungs, skin, kidneys, and every vital organ of your, body. Your doctor calls this “intestinal téxae- mia,” and tells you that your system is.. : _“tpxic.” i i ‘Functions of Gall- - Bladder ' In 24 hours your liver secretes about" 25 to 30 ounces (5 to 6 ""‘"{’"‘"~ of millions - of bile, which flows through minute canals, or ducts, uniting:to s al tube which empties.inito th bladder, as creéks and . lets form a river that flows into Your gall-bladder is a holiow muscle that By Purification serves the double purpose of a reservoir and a pump. Its functions are similar to those of the urinary bladder. About three hours after eating, when the food is passing from the stomach into thé in- testine, your gall-bladder should begin its peristaltic contractions, thus pumping its bile into the small intestine where it is mixed with your food. (Bile is also a very important digestive fluid, aiding in the digestion and absorption of fats and oils. But that is too long a story to re- late here.) Nature’s Danger Signals When your car gets out of order you can tell it. It is the same way with your bile. Nature gives you warning—not by words, but by signals or symptoms. Your doctor recognizes these danger signals and you should also know them and in- stantly heed them. It may save you much pain, serious illness and perhaps big repair bills. . 'hen the bile becomes stagnant in your gall-bladder and is dammed back into your liver instead of flowing freely into your bowels you, sooner or later, begin to feel some of the following symp- toms:—Your breath may become un- leasant, your tongue coated, a bad taste in your mouth, your food (and tobacco) loose their natural flavor, your food does not agree with you; you may have heart- burn, gas, or fluttering around the heart, dizziness or . blind spell; you may be troubled with:belching or frequent pas- sages of gas from the bowels; the gas “balloons” your bowels and presses so hard on the kidneys that it gives you pain, soreness, stiffness in the small of your back over your kidneys, making vou think you have kidney trouble; at night the gas in your bowels presses upon your bladder making you get up frequently, thus breaking into your sleep. In the morning you are tired instead of re- {reshed. Gradually your health is injured. Your complexion becomes sallow, muddy or yellow—your skin may be disfigured with liver spots or pimples; dark rings may appear under your eyes, you may become sleepléss, restless and irritable or blue and mélancholic. You may have frequent colds or dull headache; your bowels stop their free, full and natural action; you have constipaiion, gas, putre- faction and self-poisoning or “intestinal toxaemia,” as the doctors call it. High 1 blood pressure, with headache and swoon- ‘ing spells, may result from continued neglect. ; How to Make the Bile Flow Secacsmientisor answer is: Take Calotabs at bedtinie and drink water freely the next day. This {ormula represents the best thought and erience of the best physicians. No other purgatives will do. If you take oils, salts, cascara, or the many other simple- laxative syrups, powders@fid candy lax- atives you are merely wasting valuable time. They only make you feel better for a day or two. They do not remove the cause, for they do not promote the expulsion of the bile which is Nature’s purgative and intestinal antiseptic. When you take Calotabs you know that you have taken a real doctor's medicine. It cleans you out thoroughly. Every inch of your twenty-five foot canal, includ- ing your stomach, small intestine and large intestine, is thoroughly cleared and pure and your bile is flowing freely. Next morning your system feels purified and- refreshed and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat what you please and go about your work; —there is no danger for Calotabs are per- fectly safe and create no habit, except the habit of healthy bowel actions. What Are Calotabs— How Do They Act? Calotabs are sugar coated tablets, con- taining the minimum effective dose of a thoroughly purified and refined calo- - mel combined with assistants and correc- tives. The calomel facilitates the expul- sion of the bile from the gall-bladder into “ the intestines and also serves as a mild intestinal antiseptic. ~Every physician knows that no other medicine can take its place; there is no such thing as a sub- stitutg for calomel. The assistants act like salts, washing the calomel out of the system and preventing its accumulation and any possibility of danger. The cor- rectives settle the stomach and bowels, _pteveriting nause: ickening ‘and grip- f;;,_ .effects. .- Calotabs, (and water) therefore, give you the combined effects of calomel and salts in a perfectly safe and delightful form. The medicine chest of every home should be supplied with Calotabs, one of the most important of all family medi- cines. It is needed in many cases of sickness, and, if used occasionally as 7. needed,. may assist Nature to correct conditions which, if neglected, may lead ~ to serious illn " Avoid disappointment by refusing imi- . tations. Your druggist can supply you with genuine Calotabs or.will order them for you. For your protection, Calotabs are marketed in original packages only, bearing the copyrighted trademark.
