Health About Gone Many thousands of women suffering from womanly trouble, have been benefited by the use of Cardui, the woman’s tonic, according to letters we receive, similar to this one from Mrs. Z.V. Spell* of Hayne, N. C. “IcoultT not stand on my feet, and" just suffered terribly,”’ she says. "As my suf fering was so great, and he had tried other reme dies, Dr. had us get Cardui. . . I began improving, and it cured me. i know, and my doctor knows, what Car dui did for me, for my nerves and health were about gone.” TAKE CARDUI . The Woman’s Tonic She writes further: " I am in splendid health ... can do my work. I feel I owe it to Cardui, for I was In dreadful condition.” If you are nervous, run down and weak, or suffi from headache, backache, etc., every month, try Cardui. Thousands of women praise this medi cine for the good it has done them, and many physicians who have used Cardui successfully with theirwbmerf patients, for years, endorse this medi cine. Think what it means to be in splendid health, like Mrs. Spell. Give Cardui a trial. All Druggists JU Tin ware and Enamel Ware—every thing lor the kitchen. Our prices are the lowest to be found. S. M. & E. H. WILKES & CO. Capes in great force stand ready to tnswer the demand for spring wraps, laving gradually and surely ingratiat- id themselves into the likings of fash- onable women. Nothing demon- Urates better the inexhaustible genius Df designers than the constantly vary ing interpretations of the cape which make It, just nhw, the most Interesting of wraps. It Is shown in unending va riety. Capes are long or short, as a you will, but mostly long. They are always full and naturally loose. But in many new < models the looseness disappears be low the knees being restrained by j means of cutting or by confining it ^ in a hem that is rather tight about the figure. Among new capes for spring are- long and short capes of taffeta with collars—very ample and cozy looking, of sweater-weave silks or wool materials, and linings that lend them warmth. Navy silk with beige-colored linings and collars is the favorite comldnation. Duvetyn capes, in navy and marine blues, in brown, henna and tomato red, convince one that n<^ other fabric could show these colors to such advantage. One «f the- simpler -enpew In marine Hide duvetyn Is shown in the accompanying j Illustration. It is a practical and graceful garment part cape and part cloak since it has sleeves. The body of it hangs from a small yoke and it con trives to hang in at the sides where It slopes toward the hem In the ap proved way. As a change from coats,* and because it is more picturesque and becoming, the cape for spring deserves attention. In duvetyn, cinnamon brown, henna and tomato red they are deliciously soft and rich looking and velours ought to be as good a vehicle for these colors that make wraps of so much distinction. Capes are lined with crepe-de-chlne to match In color or with checked or cross-bar silks; large checks, In quiet tones, being everywhere present In dis plays of new apt lug apparel: The cape, pure and simple, Is to bn found, but the cape which borrou/s something of the "oat or is posed on a Jacket and is in reality a combining of two wraps into one is oftener in evi dence. Nearly all of these wraps havt cozy and ample collars. They are suc cessful wraps from every point ol view, comfortable and full of style. Chamois Skin for Windows. Two pieces of chamois skin and a basin or pall of warm water are the best means for cleaning windows that one housekeeper knows of. so she says. One chamois skin she wrings out of the warm water and uses for washing the windows. With the other she djles them. She finds the chamois skinjf far superior to the ordinary rags and says that. If they are kept clean, they will last a long Urn*. She uses the same method and materials for cleaning mlr- ■u / “ Above all things one’s millinery must be kept fresh looking and im maculately clean. There are many millinery materials that are always in style, as velvet an well-made, flowers, laces, ribbons, straw hats, crepe, and chiffons. They become soiled and mussed, bu^ can be cleai^Kl and freshened up by simple processes available at home. Now that spring is near, a becoming straw hat may only need repolishing, or^to have the trimmings freshened up^ to serve during the early' spring and as a Change throughout the season. v For colored straw hats there are dyes which are usually on sale In drug stores, ready to apply, which will n 4 - store the color of the straw or change it to another color. There are several reliable dyes that will change colored huts into black ones. Most of these .dyes give the hat a fine luster and it looks practically new, after dyeing. Often a faded hat can be successfully restored to color by applying the col ors mixed with gasoline, as described in a former article. Some hats can be scoured with soapsuds, as leghorn or Panama straws. In this case the suds Is used, but with a view to keeping the straw from getting very vret. To restore a natural straw polor, a hat may be cleaned with lemon Juice and sulphur. A white straw may be washed with oxalic 'aeld diluted with water. After a leghorn hat has been cleaned it may be bleached by suspending it over a burning sulphur candle. Burn the sulphur In the bottom of a barrel, suspending the hat at the top so that it will not scorch, a felt hat.may'!be successfully scoured with the finest sandpaper. Ahundnla will often re store color In colored straw hats. Wring a cloth out of half a pint of hot water to which a teaspoonful of am monia has been added and cover the 'iat with this cloth. Allqw it to re main a while. If the brim needs presa Ing, cover it with the cloth and Iron with a warm Iron. If the color is not sufficiently restored by this process the hat In It, or brush it on. There are several reliable hat dyes that can be bought with directions for using that will quickly renovate straw hats. ^ To Freshen Flowers. Mix tube paint and gasoline with the color desired and dip faded flowers Into this dye. Petals may be shaded and veined with tube paints. Flowers that are crumpled should be held over dry steam and gently shaken. When they have been steamed and tinted take small, sharp scissors and trim away any frayed edges. One can often make flowers look as good as new by these processes. .
