Keep your
Stomach Healthy.
vWhen you get up in the
morning with a bad taste In
your mouth that the tooth
brush will not remove, a coat-
ing on your tongue, and a
general •'out of sorts" feeling,
don't blame it on what you
had to eat the night before.
A healthy stomach would be
able to look after that. It's
poor digestion that makes you
feel so badly. A teaspoonful
of Abbeys Effervescent Salt
in half a tumbler of water at
rising will make you feel better
—will cure you If you follow
directions. A b b e r' B

al! Paper Tall
Everybody's mind turns to
house decorating this season
of the year and the great prob-
lem is how to have it done,
that all Will be in harmony
of color. The good old styles
of our grandmothers are again
popular—and it has led to
the reproduction of the
beautiful old well papers that
adorned the walls of the
famous Colonial residences
built early in the last century.
The greatest change in our
papers this season will be
noticed to the colorings. The
combinations are taken from
the works of modern mural
paintings, like Turner, May-
nard, Walker and Alexander,
SO beautiful and pleasing.
Our papers lir. away from
the hackneyed colors and
have a freshness and harmony
of delicate shadings, so soft
and pleasing to the eye.
