You do not have to change any of your usual steps—just use Rinso where you used to use ordinary soap. if you like to boil your white cot- tons, Rinso will give you just the safe cleansing suds you need in the boiler. If you use a washing machine, follow the advice of the big washing machine manufacturers— use Rinso. • , Just soaking with this new kind of. soap loosens all the dirt until . a single rinsing leaves the clothes clean and spotless. However you do your. wash, make it easy by using Rinso. Rinso is sold by all grocers and department stores If you use a Washing Machine, .oaf your clothes in the Rinso suds as usual. In the morning add more Rinso solution and work the machine. Then rinse and dry - you will have a clean sweet snow - white wash.

For Sore Feet—Minard Liniment LUNCH OUTFITS. My family belongs to a number of organizations—the farmers' club, the farm and the home association, church and literary societies and young peo- ple's clubs—at which picnic lunches are frequently served, outdoors in summer and during the winter in the community hall, the church or at the home of some club member. Often silver became mixed or lost and some of the best china broken; so I finally decided to get a complete outfit to be used for this purpose. At the ten -cent store, plates, cups, knives, forks and spoons were bought for each member of the family; also bowls for salads and hot foods, several rolls of waxed paper for wrapping sandwiches, plain white paper nap- kins, a box of gummed labels with to walk; when they're walking she which to mark the dishes, and paper wishes they were older so that they'd cups and a ball of twine. know enough not to run away; when For thirty-five cents I got a large they're older she_wishes they could go roll of white paper at the newspaper to school, and so on.

Glowing at midnight like a rose at noon In lustrous splendour, she forgot to look On no least hidden and enchanted nook, Which beauty makes her own. She bent to peep Wherever fragrant gardens lay asleep, And shim'ring silver on their petals shook, Then, chatting with the clouds, she drifted down The sky, where stars, like blossoms, gay with bloom, Lighted her way into a weary town So dark with grime her rays scarce pierced the gloom, And here she dropped a dower of sparkling beams, That all the children might have happy dreams! —Charlotte Becker. Mtnard's Liniment -:Heats Cute. His Answer. A young man who was deeply in love with a girl who lived in another town decided to offer his hand and heart. So he went to the telegraph office and sent this message: When our two-year-old baby climbs "Will you marry me? Twenty -word out of bed, he usually runs to the answer paid for." An hour later he got his answer: "You are too extravagant. Why pay for nineteen words too many? No." Self-confidence is only sometimes different life would be if you could the result of actual performances; not see a pretty day. more usually it's based on what we Sister Nellie just wishes her chil- think we could do if we get the dren's lives away.
