SUFFERING OF A
LIFEJIME ENDED
“Words Can't Express Gratitude
I Feel Toward Tanlac,”
Says Mrs. Burrington.
‘‘From childhood until I got Tanlac,
I suffered from indigestion and stom-
ach trouble,” said Mrs. J. A. Burring-
ton, 540 Stanford Ave., Los Angeles,
MRS. J. A. BURRINGTON
Los Angeles, Calif.
Calif., ‘‘and that’s been a long time,
for I’m now in my sixty-eighth year.
“I remember when I was a child I
was kept on a strict diet of lime
water and milk for weeks and I have
been in constant distress all these
years. I suffered terribly from bloat-
ing and had to be very careful of what
I ate. I became so weak and nervous
I could hardly go about my housework
and was in a miserable condition.
“About two years ago my husband
got such splendid results from Tanlac
he insisted on my taking it and the
.medicine wasn’t but a little while in
ridding me of my troubles. It gave
me a splendid appetite, and I could
enjoy a good hearty meal, even things
I hadn’t dare touch before, without
any fear of it troubling me.
“Then I had the influenza and be-
came dreadfully sick and weak, but
my stomach kept in good order and it
only took four bottles of Tanlac to
build me up again to where I’m now
feeling better than at any time I can
remember. I have gained eleven
pounds in weight, too, and words can’t
express the gratitude I feel toward
Tanlac. I keep Tanlac in the house
all the time now, for I know it is a
medicine that can be depended upon.”
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
everywhere.—Adv.

ASPIRIN
Name “Bayer” on Genuine
Beware! Unless you see the name
“Bayer” on package or on tablets you
are not getting genuine Aspirin pre-
scribed by physicians for twenty-one
years and proved safe by millions.
Take Aspirin only as told in the Bayer
package for Colds, Headache, Neural-
gia, Rheumatism, Earache, Toothache,
Lumbago, and for Pain. Handy tin
boxes of twelve Bayer Tablets of As-
pirin cost few cents. Druggists also
sell larger packages. Aspirin is the
trade mark of Bayer Manufacture of
Monoaceticacidester of Salicylicacid.

CHOOSING GOWNS
FOR BRIDESMAIDS
r^INCE the costumes of her maids
must make a picturesque back-
ground for the eminence of her own
bridal white, it is the privilege of th.e
bride to choose what they shall be.
And here she may give her fancy a
free rein; but the chances are that
the enticing modes of today, drawn
from so many periods, will keep it
from wandering far. If she chooses
current styles this years’ bride will
live to prove the axiom that a thing
of beauty is a joy forever.
Taking into consideration the per-
sonality of her maids and all other
circumstances, the bride may elect to
have them dressed in sprightly
organdy or taffeta, in quaint styles,
or her choice may fall upon sheer
voile, lace or georgette. In all of these
there are colors that are adorable.
Two different types in gowns suited
to bridesmaids are pictured above.
The quaint full-skirted style at the
right requires the crispness of organdie
or taffeta to insure the bouffant skirt.
It is trimmed with taffeta frills hav-
ing picot edges and sewed into large
disks that are graduated in size. The
tight-fitting bodice has a round neck
and short sleeves. A puff of net set
in at the neck is a becoming item,
not to be overlooked and the flower-
trimmed hat, in n shape that suggests
the poke bonnet, corresponds with the
dress in style.
Crepe-de-chine, georgette or other
supple weaves must be chosen for a
gown like that at the left. It has a
panel at the front adorned with frills
of lace and hangs straight at the back
with cascaded drapery at the sides
hanging in points and longer than the
skirt. The bodice has a square neck
and elbow sleeves. Plain and figured
chiffon or georgette might be used to-
gether in this dress, or wide lace might
make the cascaded drapery and any of
the sheer tissues the body of the
frocks.

IN THE WOODS.
“I love the woods,” said the Wood
Fairy, “and I see that you do, too,
Pink To'adstool.”
y^HOOSING a costume for the bride
is a momentous matter, but not
difficult. Choosing a costume for the
mother of the bride or groom is ab-
sorbingly interesting and somewhat
difficult. Above all things these
mothers must achieve distinction in
their apparel for the great occasion
and begin this accomplishment by ex-
ercising taste that is above reproach.
They must not make the pathetic mis-
take of dressing too youthfully or the
commonplace. one of selecting styles
that are ordinary or too elderly. The
choice in styles depends upon the sil-
houette more than anything else, and
that which has been found most be-
coming in the past should be retained
Some mothers, and grandmothers
even, retain a youthful face and figure,
and for them there are dignified ex-
amples of current styles that make
u selection easy. The two handsome
1
costumes pictured here are example:!
of styles that may be worn with as-
surance. At the left a gray georgette
over satin is covered with outline em-
broidery in silk cord and beads, and
is all in one color.
The black lace dress with satin
bodice at the right of the picture has
a ribbon girdle, king’s blue on one side
and silver on the other. The skirt of
lace flouncing reveals an apron of
white lace over the black satin foun-
dation. The hat must be imagined in
silver cloth and king’s blue, with soft,
full veil of black lace draped across
the back. It is a lovely adornment
for the gray hair of its wearer.
“Vfcry Wise.”
“Oh, yes,” said
the Pink Toad-
stool, “I wouldn’t
care about living
anywhere else.
Some of my fam-
ily might, but I
would rather be
here. I, too, love
the woods so
much.”
“Ah,” said the
W ood Fairy, “I
don’t think ,any-
thing else is so
wonderful as the
woods. Just think!
I have for my car-
pet a soft, won-
derful one made
of pine needles. They are so brown
and so cozy looking and so very soft.
“Then the great dark trunks of the
trees seem to protect me and look
after me. And the shadows come in
and dance between.
• “In the winter there are more
spaces between the great trees be-
cause then the leaves on the bushes,
and shrubs have gone to rest and the
leaves of the trees have gone to sleep
under the snow.
“Along the edge of these woods are
wild asters, and they are like a beau-
tiful border to the woods. Later there
will be many changes. The trees will
all change in color.
“There will be reds and scarlets
and trees of orange shade. There will
be some that will not turn red and
golden so soon.
“And the deep woods, with their
dark green trees, will look so lovely
back of all these trees of the different
colors.
“The path of these woods leads up
a hill which they call Slippery Hill.
And it is very slippery because of the
carpet of pine needles.
“Before the carpet of pine needles
begins there is the bright green car-
pet of the field down below.
“In the winter time there is more
room in the woods, it seems, but it is
nice to have one’s winter home a lit-
tle different from «ie’s summer home,
and yet have it the same home.
“Now, people have fireplaces and
radiatoi-s in the winter in their homes,
but we have snow blankets instead!
“Oh, the beautiful woods I do love
so much!
Of course you aren’t here all the
time, but you are very wise, Pink
Toadstool, to choose the woods for your
home while you are here. It is so
nice and cool here when out in the
fields it is so hot.
“You see, we have the Magic Cool-
ers of the woods making everything
so cool and comfortable, no matter
how hot the day may be
“The birds come here and talk to
us and tell us what goes on about.
“A number of birds told me yester-
day they had had breakfast with some
real people.”
“Birds had had breakfast with real
people?” asked Pink Toadstool.
“Yes,” said the Wood Fairy, “the
birds had been giving a morning con-
cert in a garden near a big house,
The people were eating thdir break-
fast on the back porch of that house.
“And when they saw the birds
said: “Oh, we will
breakfast, for you
gave us such a
lovely concert.’
“And then they
spread nice bread-
crumbs about, and
other good things
to eat. The
are quite often
vited to meals
like that.
“Not long ago
they had a cookie
banquet. Some
children were hav-
ing. lemonadfe and
cookies on a hot
afternoon a n
they gave the
birds some of the
cookies and
filled a little pan
them to drink.
“Yes, here in
come to talk to us. Many of the birds
live here almost all of the time. There
are little toads and frogs who live
here, you, lovely Pink Toadstool have
chosen it for your summer home, and
the Wood Fairies all live here.
“The woods are better than any
thing else in the world.”
The Wood Fairy waved her wand
and sang while the Pink Toadstool
smiled a Toadstool smile:
“I love the woods above everything,
They make me happy, they make me sing,
heigh-ho I”

NO NEED FOR EARLY DEATH
Full Life May Be Assured to Thou-
sands Who Would Take
Trouble to Earn It.
The death rate among males in this
country is twice as great at forty as it
is at twenty, according to The Nation’s
Business. This means that 50 per cent
of the vital resistance is gone at that
early age, an age when a man is sup-
posed to be at the height of his power,
an age when his vitality should be at
least equal to that of a man of twenty.
Why isn’t it? Infections, poisons,
mental strain, physical inactivity, tco
much food, too little food, badly bal-
anced diet—a long list of causes, most
of them traceable to the widespread
and fallacious notion that a man can
have health without working for it.
No man need accept the physical
limitations which apparently doom so
many to hit the downhill trail almost
before they have come to the age that
should endow them with the fullest
physical and mental power. Right
living and right remedial measures

BOUNDARY DRAWN BY NATURE
Caucasus Range Seems to Forrh Nat-
ural Dividing Line Between the
Two Great Continents.
_ l
The Caucasus range, one of the
most remarkable of all geological
phenomena, is the boundary between
Europe and Asia, and an almost im-
penetrable wall which can be crossed
by vehicles or horsemen in only two
places, known as the Dariel and the
Manisson passes. From the begin-
ning of history until the middle ages
it was the boundary of the world,
writes William Eleroy Curtis, in
“Around the Black Sea.” Beyond, all
was mystery and fable, and for that
reason the ancients made the Caucas-
us the scene of much mythological ac-
tivity and the home of many marvels.
They called the country Colchis, and
it was there that Jason and the
gonauts found the Golden Fleece.
Prometheus was chained to one of the
peaks by the gods to punish him
giving fire to the mortals.
The first Europeans to find their
way through the rocky labyrinths
were Greek and Genoese traders, who
