RAISED FROM SICK BED, After All Hope Had Vanished. i oe Mrs. J. H. Bennett, 59 Fountain St., Gardiner, Me., says: “My back used to trouble me so se- verely that at last I had to give up. I took to my bed and stayed there four months, suffering in- tense pain, dizziness, headache and in- flammation of the bladder. Though without hope, I be- gan using Doan’s Kidney Pills, and in three months was completely cured. The trouble has never returned.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N, Y. N. D. LOANS GILT EDGED. Winona, Minn., Banker Praises Flick- ertail State as Fie!d for Investment. F, A. Rising of Winona, Minn., treas- urer of the Winona Savings bank, was in Bismarck last week. He has been in the habit of visiting the state every year for the last twenty-five years in the interest of the bank he represents. It has loaned in the past thousands of dollars in the Red river valley and then in the central part of the state, and now he is looking at the western section as an outlet for its accumulat- ing funds. The business in North Da- kota has been very profitable. The loans in North Dakota are now well up towards a million and there is not a mortgage in process of foreclosure, nor does the bank own an acre of land in the state. This speaks vol- umes for the thrift of the settlers and for the state. The company is now loaning along the Soo in McLean coun- ty and southern Ward. Mr. Rising goes north on the Soo to-day to look the county over. He is very much pleased with the substantial appear- ance of Bismarck and thinks it is a fine little city. Mr. Rising is one of the old timers in his home city having been there for over thirty years and his entire life has been spent in building up the savings bank which he now repre- sents, He is one of the substantial business men of that prosperous and wealthy city. Many of the institutions are the result of his foresight and care. —____——- His Defense. How sweet is the innocence of child- heod! Tommy Jones, aged 7, and his mo- ther were invited to tea by Mrs. Brinks. While the meal was being prepared Mrs. Jones wandered about the two-y -square garden and admir- ed the weeds. Presently the absence of her cherished Tommy alarmed her, but shortly the truant reappeared, con- tentedly munching a huge slab of cake. In her relief, as is usual, Mrs. Jones began to upbraid the lad. “Thomas,” she said, “I’m afraid you've been greedy and asked kind Mrs. Brinks for that cake.” Oh, no, mother,” he replied; “I wouldn’t be so rude! I waited till she turned her back, then I snatched this piece.” Another Lesson from Nature. “Young gentlemen,” eminent instructor, enough now to put away the childish and trivial amusements that sufficed for you when you were younger. Learn a lesson from the dumb brutes, and even from the reptiles. When they arrive at maturity they comport them- selves with a certain dignity.” “It isn’t so with the rattlesnake, professor,” objected the young man with the bad eye. “The older he grows, the more rattles he plays with.” Platt’s Political Economy. A rather cynical joke has been re- cently credited to Senator Platt, The senator on his last visit to the Manhattan Beach hotel, allowed a pretty little girl, a western million- aire’s daughter, to be presented to him. “Tell me, won’t you, senator, what political economy is?” “Political economy, my dear child,” Senator Platt is said to have replied, “is the art of never buying more votes than you actually need.” NO GUSHER But Tells Facts About Postum. “We have used Postum for the past eight years,” writes a Wis. lady, “and drink it three times a day. We never tire of it. “For several years I could scarcely eat anything on account of dyspepsia, bloating after meals, palpitation, sick headache—in fact was in such misery and distress I tried living on hot water and toast for nearly a year. “I had quit coffee, the cause of my trouble, and was using hot water, but this was not nourishing. “Hearing of Postum I began drink- ing it and my ailments disappeared, and now I can eat anything I want without trouble. “My parents and husband had about the same experience. Mother would often suffer after eating, while yet drinking coffee. My husband was a great coffee drinker and suffered from indigestion and headache. “After he stopped coffee and began Postum both ailments left him. He will not drink anything else now and we haye it three times a day. I could write more but am no gusher—only state plain facts.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

PURELY FEMININE FOR THE HOSTESS TWO NEW AND PLEASING FORMS OF ENTERTAINMENT. Novel Shower Arranged for Prospec- tive Bride—“Side” Show at a Bazar an Effective Means of Raising Money. A prospective autumn bride has just been the recipient of a shower that has the merit of being practical, ac- ceptable afid inexpensive, three very important items. It all came about in this way: A young matron was heard to remark that her greatest need when she first went to house- keping was actually for rags or some- thing with which to clean. She said she didn’t exactly like to give her cleaning “lady” hand-em- broidered towels and drawn-work doi- lies, so she had to go out and buy cheap material by the yard, for win- dows and interior cleaning. This was the hostess* cue, so she asked eight other young matrons to this shower, and here is what the bride-to-be took home with her: A clothespin bag filled with pins, an ironing blanket, six iron holders, six bread cloths, two jelly bags, six squares of old sheeting for window rags, a half dozen worsted towels— “for there is nothing more exasperating than new towels for glassware,” said the girl who brought them. A dozen felt pads to go between fine china plates was a valued contribution; as was also a set of asbestos pads and mats. Of course a shower like this is only for the bride who is to go right to housekeeping. Delicious waffles with maple syrup and coffee were served, as the day was cool. The table was square and had tow stunning crash runners, ornamented with gorgeous peacocks, the diningroom being done in wonderfully effective peacock blue and green shades. Each guest gave an interesting item concerning house- hold economics, all this experience being most interesting and helpful to the expectant housekeeper, New Way to Raise Money. This scheme is adapatable to a club, or society desirous of making money. It is especially good for a “side” show at a bazar. Have a separate nook or room called “The Art Gallery.” Sup- ply each one who enters with a cata- logue and explain that for each object SHELVES FOR A RECESS. Not Fastened to the Wall, and Easily Taken Down. It often happens that there is in a room a nice recess in .the wall that lends itself to the construction of a set of shelves that can be made with very little difficulty, and also that need in no way be fastened to the wall, and when not required are easily taken down and put away. Our sketch shows the way in which shelves of this kind can be arranged. Two upright pieces of wood are cut to fit either ‘side of the recess, at the top on the side nearest the wall a small bar of wood is fixed of the thickness of the wainscoting (A explains this), and it is done in order that the sides of the shelves shall be perfectly upright. On the other side of the boards, and in- dicated by the letters B, are small bars of wood screwed securely in their places, and on them the shelves rest. The shelves must, of course, be cut carefully to fit the spaces they are in- tended to occupy. A little leather edging fastened on with brassheaded nails will improve the appearance of this book-shelf, and this partly done is indicated by C. If it should be de- sired to inclose the shelves altogether, then a brass rail can be fixed across the upper part from which a curtain of a color, perhaps, to somewhat match the wall paper, may be sus- pended. that is not recognized there shall be a fine paid of five or ten cents, the amount to be decided upon. The catalogues are to be checked up at the treasurer’s office and pay- ment made. A sign marked “silence” will warn the visitors that suggesting or thinking out loud is strictly pro- hibited. It is a most entertaining feat- ure and all clear profit. Here is a partial list of what the gallery may contain: 1. The Belle of the Season. bell.) 2. Saved. (A bank containing a few pen- nies.) 3.

Though the day of unnatural looking silken roses appliqued on all sorts of materials has long passed, there is no- ticed a revival of the fashion, to a certain degree, in the reproduction of quaint little full blown blossoms and buds artistically created of nothing more than ribbon. All sorts of fancy articles for the boudoir and toilet table are ornament. ed in this fashion—dainty little moire or tapestry covered boxes, baskets, ete., while picture frames and bags are festooned with tiny flowers made of ribbon and trimmed with em- broidered medallions in which the ap- plique flower is made either of baby ribbon or wider kinds when the flow- ers are larger. This French style of needlework has become very popular and even gowns are now being beautified in this way. Delicate chiffon robes are seen with sprays of flowers painted on or embroidered with ribbon work, or per- haps the two will be combined in a clever way with a better effect than by the use of either one alone. But one of the oddest conceits for the delectation of women is the use of tiny ribbon roses to decorate dainty pieces of lingerie. Nearly all the film- jest lace inset nightgowns, petticoats, chemises and negligees are embel- lished with tiny sprays or garlands of exquisite ribbon roses, or perhaps a single pale pink flower or a few buds will be fastened to the yoke of a night- gown or draped across the bust of a dainty negligee. When used for lingerie decoration the flowers are quite small, few of them measuring more than an inch or a trifle more in diameter. Satin baby ribbon is oftenest used, and with tiny loops of this narrow width some’ fas- cinating little buds and blossoms are fashioned. The creator of these rib- bon flowers does not always follow nature in her choice of colors. There is no green used with these dainty flowers. It is not the intention of the ribbon artist to make the orna- ments an attempt to imitate accurate- ly real blossoms. On the contrary, the idea is to use ribbon with a dainty ef- fect and in a novel way, and certainly it is a novelty to have festoons of charming little Louis Quinze buds and roses instead of ribbon run in straight bands through beading and ending in bows and loops. 2 .

First Had Itching Rash—Threatened Later With Blood-Poison in Leg— Relied on Cuticura Remedies. “About twelve or fifteen years ago I had a breaking-out, and it itched, and stung so badly that I could not have any peace because of it. Three doctors did not help me. Then I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint- ment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and I have not been bothered with the itching since, to amount to anything. About two years ago I had la grippe and pneumonia which left me with a pain in my side. Treat- ment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out. The doctor was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine | but it did no good, then I used the Cuticura Remedies three times and cured the breaking-out on my leg. J. F.
