J If you think there is any possible chance

Things Worth Knowing.
When washing and rinsing colored
materials add one teaspoon Epsom salts
to each gallon of water and even the
most delicate shades will not run nor
fade. Serges or merino dresses hich
have been dyed black can be safely
washed in this way without risk of the
dye running.
When your front-laced corsets wont
lace tightly to give the straight-front
effect efft down the back sew two pieces
of strong goods one on each side (cut
smaller at top so -the bust won't be too
large): sew two seams down the back
to insert the small whalebone. You will
have a pair of corsets to lace tightly in
front.
Creamed Eggs With Fish.
If you have any remnants of cooked
flsli. flake them carefully free of skin
and bone add sail and pepper and mix
with some white sauce and add a little
mashed potato. Line some little greased
pans with this add an egg. as before and
put Into the oven to set.

"John you go right over to the drug store and get

John says: "The druggist told me that Dr. King's New
Discovery was an old preparation and that he had sold it as
long ashe has had the store and when he used to be a drug
clerk. He felt pretty sure it would fix your cold and I had seen
it advertised. Clad you. found an old friend." You try it ;
