When the bowels become constipated the stomach gets out of order, the liver does not work properly, .and tliet_ follows the violent sick headaches, the sourness of the stomach, belching of wind, heart- " burn, water brash, biliousness, etc. Keep your bowels regular by using Milburn's Lasa -Liver Pills. They will clear away all the effete matter which ., collects in the system and thus do away with constipation and all its allied troubles. Mrs. John Fitzgerald, Brittania Bay, Ont., writes: "I have been troubled with my stomach and liver for the past five years, and have had constipation causing headache, backache and dizzy spells, and sometimes I would almost fall 'clown. I tried all kinds of remedies without obtaining any relief. I commenced using 112ilburn's Laxa- Liver Pills, and they have cured me. I have recommended them to many of my friends, and they are all very much pleased with the results they have ob- tained from their use."

Put two tablespoonfuls he sun and air; at first the color w hese out, shake and expose them to not be bright, but as the rags dry the olor comes out a strong lasting orange. For blue color, use the liquid bluing n bottles And if green is required, after securing a good shade of blue, redip the fabric or rags in the yellow: dye. For a pretty pink shade, needed for ribbons or woolen hoods, soak a sheet in a ed r or so of bright red crepe p p water; let it lie in soft water quite a long time. Then squeeze out all the pulp. You can make any pink shade of dye by this process. I A very good shade of linen colon! dusters, suitable for motor coats and u , , is made by twisting hay into a rope or' coil, placing it in a pail, and pouring boiling hot water over it; let it steep until cool, then drain off the liquid and use at once. Walnut hulls, and also a decoction of log -wood chips, give a very fine brown color. For dove and slate color, in iron ves- sel boil a teacupful of black tea, with a teaspoonful of copperas and suffici- ent water to extract and dissolve.I Afterward dilute with water to the shade desired. ' , For purple, for each pound of goods; use two ounces of cudbear. Rinse':. the goods well in soapsuds, then dis-, solve the cudbear in hot suds—note quite boiling—and soak the goods un til the required color is obtained. The color is brightened by rinsing in alum water. Useful Household Suggestions. When eggs are scarce and are need- ed for puddings, a dessertspoonful of cornstarch will take the place of one egg. ,A. pinch of soda added to a berry pie before the upper crust is put on will keep it from running over. Woolen vests and sweaters should be reshaped frequently while drying. Fine blankets and shawls look best when dried on curtain stretchers. Don't imagine that palatable food can be prepared from poor` materials. ' It is better for -the loaf pans to be narrow. This will insure - thorough baking. 1 Baby's underwear should be ironed on the wrong side as well as on the right. Dirt anywhere is nothing short of dangerous. The red-hot stove is a needless waste of fuel. Pieces of ingrain carpet can often be used by weaving into a rug. A pinch of powdered sage leaves gives a relish to cold pork. To fry fish properly they should be put into boiling hot fat. Silk clothes and woollen clothes should be washed separately. A spoonful of water added to an egg before beating makes it more frothy. To get cake out of a pan whole when taken from the oven set it on a wet 'cloth for five minutes. THIEVES' INSURANCE. London Members of Underworld Or- ganize Fund to Pay Fines. Recently there has been brought to light in London a widespread form of insurance against police court fines inflicted on thieves. The scheme was discovered by Mr. Cecil Chap- man, the Tower' Bridge magistrate, who told a London Daily Mail repre- sentative that "it all arises from the prosperity which had been apparent on the surface during the last year or so prompting a grea t many pre- viously honest people to pilfer. "Seeing plenty, they have succumb- ed to the temptation to take some for themselves. At some docks, ware- houses, and other places the volume of pilfering has increased threefold. This hes led to what can only be de-' scribed as thieves' insurance societies, in which both honest and dishonest men club together to form a fund from which the fines inflicted on those convicted of thieving are. paid. "They appoint an official called 'the banker,' who collects the money, and it is his duty to attend the court and pay the fines. In one case a few days ago a youth caught stealing had on him a card showing subscriptions to the amount of £2 for use in paying the fines of friends found guilty of thieving. An even stranger case was that of a person charged with stealing 7s. 6d. He had been entrusted with 15s, subscribed by friends, to pay the fine of a pilferer. The fine was only 7s: 6d., and the 'banker' kept the balance." e dropped in cola water becomes brittle. Then add the vanilla and pour into a well -greased tin°to harden.

Violet Layer 'Cake.—Warm four tablespoonfuls of butter and four of powdered sugar and add to this four well -beaten eggs; mix well together, stir in one-quarter pound of flour, two ounces of ground rice, a few drops of vanilla, a teaspoonful of baking pow- der, a little milk to moisten it; pour half of the mixture into a well greased tin, add a layer of chopped peel and glace cherries, pour in the remainder of the mixture, bake in• a moderate over, frost with white frosting, de- corate with crystallized violets and tie . the cake around with mauve satin rib- bon. of butter in saucepan; when melted add two cupfuls of brown sugar, one- half a teaspoonful of salt and one- half a cupful of water. Bring to the boiling point and let boil sixteen min- utes, Pour over corn gradually, while stirring constantly, until every kernel is well coated with sugar. Old -Fashioned Butter Scotch.—One and one-half teacupfuls of molasses, six ounces of brown sugar, four ounces of butter, one teaspoonful of vanilla, three dessertspoonfuls of vinegar, a very small pinch each of bicarbonate of soda and salt. Melt the butter, add the sugar, molasses, vinegar, soda and salt, and boil all togeliter till a • • QUAINT OLD SUPERSTITIONS. Timber to be Cut in "Wane of the Moon." One of the quaintest of moon super- stitions, referred to by Vitruvius and Pliny, was that timber could only be cut to advantage at certain phases of the moon, says the London Chronicle. In the royal ordinances of France to the conservators of forests it was directed that oaks should be felled only "in •the wane of the moon," or "when the wind was north." There are still country folk who hold that a Saturday new moon or full moon brings twenty days of wind or ram. Most of the old weather observers seem only to have taken note of what supported a theory; no record was kept when it went wrong. Nothing ever takes such a hard fall out of worry as hard labor. !LISTEF. gal + t4t 1) �ie name fliatstcrrz isfor Q z g n, arinfrkchrinery�. LISTER ENGINES ARE �( BRITISH BUILT r,V.

Golden Text—Isa. 9, 6. Verse 2. The vision starts from the. prophet's assurance that the northern kingdom is doomed. It shall, how- ever, have new hopes for a future day, for it is Jehovah's land after all.. The assaurance is all the more won- derful in that the prophet of Israel is speaking of "Galilee of the nations," a people belonging to Israel, but con- taminated by much contact with the unclean foreigner. He sees a day when the land whichrichly so ll deserved its heavy punishment is to be blessed with a great and sudden glory. We may well doubt whether he knew to what bis words pointed. Every true prophet says a great deal 1 more lc For his visions than he news. some from avivid sense -of God's deepest truth, and the fulfillment is always vaster than the anticipation. Darkness—Described in the last verse of chapter 8. Shadow of death— Compare Psa. 28. 4. 8. The Hebrew for "not" and fo'r "to it" (its) is pronounced in the same way, and there is sometimes a confus- ion in copying. Hence the blunder recorded in the margin. 4. Three typical'•signs of slavery— the yoke from which the burden hung, the long pole across one shoulder, at the ends of which two loads were slung (as used by coolies in India), and, the stick with which the slave was beaten. The day of Midian—Gideon's great de- liverance was naturally remembered for ages after as the type of complete and final victory. 5. Armor—Representing the pos- sibility of future war, as the garments rolled in. blood represent the memory of war in the past. All such is to be blotted out in the happy future- alas! what a future it has proved to be; but with God a thousand years are as one • day, and even to -day we knew he will yet fulfill the prophet's dream. 6. Who is this wondrous child.?. There seems no escape from the con- clusion that he is a supernatural be- ing in the prophet's thought, however little he may have realized the. full implications of such an idea. ' It is absolutely impossible to attach to any merely human child the names that follow. The sublime central thought is that the mighty Victor is a child- the weakness of God that is stronger than men. Wonderful counsellor (margin)—So read -the names are four, not five. 7. David -So the "Mighty God," the "Father of Eternity," is to be a Man after all. There is a similar elevation of the Son of David in Psa. 11. 1.

WHOOPING COUGH The Infant's Most Dangerous Disease. Whooping Cough; although spec disease of childhood, is by no mea ti fined to that period but tray oc. any time of life. It is one of the ;east dangerous diseases of infancy, and yearly causes more deaths than scarlet fever; typhoid or diphtheria, and is more common in female that_ in male children. Whooping Cough starts with sneezi watering of the eyes, irienatigeohof throat, feverishness and cough. coughing attacks occur frequently but are generally more severe at night. On the first sign of a "«hoop," Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup should be administered, and weeks of suffering prevented, as it helps to clear the bron- chial tubes of the collected-intteotis and phlegm.
