I could hardly afford to buy all black clothes, so decided to dye what I had. I consulted our druggist and he advised using Diamond Dyes. Everything came out beautifully; coats, wool dresses, stockings and all. I have since learned to ap- preciate the excellence of the black Diamond Dyes. I tried another black dye and the results were im- possible. I had to get Diamond Dyes and do the work over. Recently I have tinted my curtains a beautiful raspberry shade and dyed a rug a lovely garnet with Diamond Dyes. They are real money savers—the finest dyes money can buy—I truly believe."

The first essential, the re- port states, is that the coffee be freshly ground. Any convenient pot or jug made of earthenware or thick china then is warmed and a supply of boiling water is provided in another vessel. Two ounces of the freshly ground coffee then are placed in the warmed jug for each pint of water that Is to be used. The boiling water then is poured over the coffee and the mixture is stirred vigorously 'with a wooden spoon, metal spoons being condemned as likely to give the liquid undesirable flavors.

THROUGH CASTORIA'S GENTLE REGULATION The hest way to prevent colic, doctors say, is to avoid gas in stom- ach and bowels by keeping the en- tire intestinal tract open, free from waste. But remember this: a tiny baby's tender little organs cannot stand harsh treatment, They must be gently urged. This is just the time Castorla can help most. Cas- toria, you know, is made specially for babies and children. It is a pure vegetable preparation, per- fectly harmless. It contains no harsh drugs, no narcotics. For years it has helped mothers through try- 'hag ry "ing times with colicky babies and children suffering with digestive upsets, colds and fever.
