6 THE KANSAS WEEKLY CAPITAL. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 7, 1911. vt DROPSY TREATED FREE 4 P'S Women's Secrets Helps for the Women Folks Should I take her no as final and cease my attentions, or, as long as there Is no other person that she prefers to me, should I keep her for my sweetheart with the hope that she may yet love and marry me? JIM. Yes, Jim, do as you suggest; keep on going about with her.

I am sure you will win her yet, but you will have to be patient-very, very patient. There is one man in the United States who has perhaps heard more womens secrets than any other man or woman in the country- These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of suffering, and they have been confided to Dr. R. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help.

That few of these women have been disappointed in their expectations is proved by the fact that 98 per cent, of all women treated by Dr. Pierce or his able staff, have been absolutely and altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable if the cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when that record applies to the treatment of more than half-a-mil-lion women, in a practice of over 40 years, it is phenomenal, and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first of specialists in the treatment of womens diseases.

This is a precaution which should be observed with all lotions which are not strongly alcoholic or whose integrity is not preserved by antiseptic ingredients. A splendid healing and soothing lotion comes to us from the French and is as follows: Burnt alum, five grains; iodide potassium, two grains; laudanum, two grains; rose pomade, five grains; fresh lard, three grains.

Mix in a bain marie at gentle heat, adding the alum to the potassium, then stir both into the lard, add the laudanum, and lastly the rose pomade.

Dear Miss Libbey: I have been married for three years, and until last summer my husband was the most devoted of lovers. During our sojourn at a summer resort, we became acquainted with another young couple and spent a good deal of time with them. I thought nothing of his attentions to the young woman then, but after we returned to our home, his attitude toward me changed. Several weeks ago I happened in at his office during his absence and noticed a letter from her on his desk. Thinking it was for me, I opened it, and you can imagine my horror and agony upon discovering that the two were desperately in love.

I do not think they realize what they are doing. Do you think there ls anything I can do? DISCONSOLATE. There is something you can do and do at once. Write to the woman and tell her that unless she has nothing further to do with your husband you will inclose the letter she wrote to him to her husband. Tell your husband your attention has been called to the fact that he is writing to this woman and you want him to stop It at once.

Dont tell him how you obtained the information. BETTER THAN SPANKING. Spanking does not cure children of bedwetting. There ls a constitutional cause for this trouble. M.

By I)r. Miles, the (Treat Speelnllst, AY ho Will Hend a New $3.75 Treatment Free. Many Have Been Cured After Doctors Failed. At first no disease is apparently moro harmless than dropsy; a little swelling of the eyelids, hands, feet, ankles or abdomen.

Dr. Miles has been known as a leading specialist in these diseases for 30 years. His liberal offer of a $3.75 Treatment free to all sufferers, is certainly worthy of serious consideration. You may not have another opportunity. The Grand Dropsy Treatment consists of four dropsy remedies in one, also Tonic Tablets and for removing the water.

This treatment is specially prepared for each patient and is at least ten times as successful as that of most physicians. It usually relieves the first day, and remedies swelling in six days in most cases. Delay is dangerous. Send for Remarkable Cures in Your Stnte.

AN ORIGINAL HOME-MADE SEWING CABINET. I want to tell the readers of the Home Department of the Capital how I made a sewing cabinet out of an old style, five-drawer White sewing machine. First I removed the head, balance wheel, pitman and treadle, also the small middle drawer. Then I enlarged the hole in the table top, where the head had been, making it eighteen inches long and eleven and one-half Inches wide. I then took a small pine box as long and wide as the opening, and as deep as the frame that held the drawers.

I lined the box with salisia, fitting it smoothly and tacking with large headed tacks, then I nailed two strips about a quarter of an inch thick and two inches wide on top of the box at each side to fasten it by to the table top. I then fastened it in place, letting the top edge of the box come just even with the lower edge of the hole in the table top. I then made a lid, and fitted it in the opening and hung it with small hinges so that it would drop into the hole, and cover the box, leaving the top of the table smooth and level. Having the box part completed, I next proceeded to make a small shelf, wnieh I placed between the legs at the bottom letting It rest on the treadle rod which I had left In for a brace to the legs. The shelf was made of a smooth pine board with strips two inches wide nailed on the sides and at the ends, forming a shallow box.

I then gave the shelf and box a coat of walnut stain, and when it was dry gave the whole cabinet a coat of Jap-a-lac. I then took some cretonne and made a curtain eighteen inches deep and long enough to reach around the machine. I tacked it In place, to the bottom edge of drawer, frame and box, leaving it open in front so as to get at the shelf. Before I jap-a-laced the cabinet I marked off a yard measure in inches, half, quarter and eights of an inch on top of the table at the front edge. The top and drop leaf I use for a cutting table, the box for patterns and cutting, the drawers for odds and ends and sewing paraphernalia, the shelf for my fashion magazines.

My cabinet is as nice as can be, and is as handy an article as I have about the house. MRS. LILLIE MCREARY. Carbondale, Osage Kansas, OATMEAL COOKIES, One and one-half cups sugar, three eggs, one-half cup lard, one-half cup of oatmeal, three cups flour, one teaspoon baking powder, one teaspoon soda and one of cinnamon, one cup of currants or raisins; drop from spoon into greased pans.

PADDING THE IRONING BOARD. Newspapers are better than cloth or flannel for padding the ironing board. The paper will not gather and hold the starch and steam, which is the case with cloth padding, making it difficult to move the irons along, and the clothes tedious to iron dry and smooth. Smooth about twelve or more thicknesses of newspapers over the board and tack fast on the underside. Then cover with one thickness of muslin.

The paper will not need renewing for a long time. Oswego, Kan. ELMA COOK. Lillian Russell's Beauty Secrets A CURE FOR CHILBLAINS, lly Lillian Russell. (Copyright; 1911: By Lillian Russell.) So many women have written me for a remedy for chilblains that I made a call recently upon a physician friend and asked him the cause of and cure for them.

The cause of chilblains, he told me, was subjecting the feet to sudden heat or cold; the arresting of circulation, particularly by allowing the feet or hands to become chilled (one may have chilblains on the hands as well as the feet). Like many other beauty troubles for besides being chilblains will add wrinkles to your face and unhappiness to your life it ls easier to prevent the prickling, burning, aching sensation than to ameliorate or cure them. One should take plenty of exercise to promote healthful circulation of' the blood, and the feet should be massaged frequently with an emolient lotion. Always after washing the feet or hands should be rubbed with a healing oil. For this camphorated vaseline can be used.

Do not apply this, however, if the skin is cracked or broken in any way. It is said if one can stand the heroic treatment it is a good thing to put the feet in a basin of hot water and place the basin over an alcohol lamp; keep the feet In as long as it is possible to bear the increasing heat, then on withdrawing them thrust them into Ice cold water, wiping gently with a soft linen towel. It ls claimed two or three baths of this kind will effect a cure. This ls the homeopathy Idea that like cures like. On the first symptoms of chilblains, which are redness of the toes and an Intense Itching and burning, rub the feet gently with warm spirits of rosemary to which a little turpentine has been added, and upon going to bed at night bind up the affected parts with absorbent cotton wet with opodeldoc.

Where there ls the least predisposition td this trouble take the foot and ankle exercise. Do not hug the fireside or the register or use artificial heat In bed. All effort should be made to restore and promote healthful circulation through the feet. The following is a simple chilblain lotion easily prepared: Alum, powdered, one-half ounce; spirits of camphor, one dram; cucumber Juice, two ounces. Dissolve the alum In the camphor and add the Juice of the cucumber.

Pour a little Into a saucer when using, as wetting a hit of linen or the fingers from the mouth of the bottle will spoil Its contents.

HOME-MADE YEAST, Take the yeast that I send you and cover with a little sugar and water and soak until soft, then add flour, meal and water enough to make a smooth batter. Never add any salt to the yeast. Let rise until light then it is ready for use. Sift flour and salt to suit the taste. Pour in all of the yeast but just enough to start from, about the same amount that I send you.

Add a little flour and sugar every day to this yeast until the day you want to hake again. If your yeast fails to rise just put in a cup and add sugar and water and boil it into a syrup and let cool, then pour it into the yeast and if it fails to come add a little meal and water and flour and keep on until you bring it back to life. Set yeast far in a pan to prevent wasting. Mix bread at night very smooth with luke warm water. Grease the bread spongy and put in a large enough pan to prevent it running over.

Let stand until morning then mash down with flour enough to prevent sticking, then make out in loaves, grease and put in pan and let rise until light, then it is ready for baking. Follow this rule and you will have light yeast and good bread. AMANDA II. PHILLIPS. Foss, Okla.

Midway, Kan. TO RENEW RAG CARPET. Here is an economical way in which a badly worn rag carpet may be renewed and used, perhaps as long again. The carpet must not contain any holes that are worn through. Stretch the carpet tight and tack to the floor in the room where you wish to use it.

Then give it a coat of flour starch. Do not put on too thick a coating, as this will cause it to crack, simply fill up the ridges and make it smooth. When this is thoroughly dry, give it a coat of paint of any desirable color. Or if you have a pattern it may be painted in a pretty flower design. When the paint is dry it is ready for immediate use.

This is preferable for a bedroom or pantry. MRS MOLLIE JENKINS. Kingfisher, Route 5, Box 9. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. To mend china: Into a solution of gum arabic stir plaster of paris until the mixture is like cream.

Apply with brush to the edge of china and join together. In three days the article can not be broken in the same place. The whiteness of the cement adds to its value. To prevent tinware from rusting ruo lard over every part of dish, put into hot oven and heat thoroughly. Thus treated tinware may be used In water constantly, and it will remain bright.

Silverware keeps bright if wrapped In blue tissue paper, with a small piece of camphor put in when set away. If ammonia is put into suds in which flannels are to be washed they will neither shrink nor become discolored. Cranberries will keep all winter if put into water. MRS. GEORGE HuNSINGER.

Laura Jean Lib hey 9 Comment and Advice THE SPORT OF I.OVE. By aura Jean Libbey, (Copyright 1911, by Laura Jean Libbey.) There Is praise enough for the woman who is cared for and shielded on all sides by devoted love, but there are few words of consolation for those who are the sad sport of love the disappointed.

Every woman sends her heart bark forth, believing it Is to sail on a sunshiny sea. She has need of sympathy and pity when she discovers that those dancing waves which she believes she afar off were but a mirage. But the ship that she sent forth could not return over the barren rocks of desolate years. There are some men who hold that love is not necessary; that human beings do not need it; indeed, that they are better off without it and that It Interferes with their life work at times. Such unbelievers should stop to reason the matter out from the time of their earliest recollection did not a mother's eyes look love Into theirs? Have they no remembrance of a fathers fond embrace, affectionate sisters and brothers, hqw then can any human being forswear love since it is a vital part of his existence since the first moment of life.

It Is intended that love shall be an Inheritance that no one, either the rich or the poor, shall be without. When parents are taken away and brothers and sisters separated one may clasp to his or her bosom another love, different by far from those who went before and yet all satisfying the love of a wedded heart-mate. It is one of the mysteries of the laws of nature that some loves wither in the bud as do the flowers on the branch and the unripened fruit on the tree, sad sport of the dew, the wind and the sun. Why these were not brought to perfection, who can say? It is quite as much of a phenomenon to reason correctly why some people should win love and joy in It and others yearn for it, the best part of their lives. The strange part of it is that it usually is the nobbiest of men and women who fail to win the little gods favor.

Their hearts are full of sympathy; their natures kindly ones). There seems to be no valid reason on earth as to why they should have been made the sport of love. To some it is given to send all the rich treasure of their hearts out without full assurance that their love is to be returned. They should not take It for granted that affection can always win affection in return. There are trlflers In every walk of life who prey upon the too trusting and who make sport of love.

Love is too often sidetracked by devious ways and devices. Many a young man hus been laughed out of his fancy for a young girl by those whose every interest It was to keep him single. Women have been coerced through poverty and by many depending upon them to refuse the poor mans offer of heart and hand, and to accept a wealthy suitor whose fortune was already made. Such women are the cruelest sports of love which has played havoc with their after life. To them love is but a dream without Its realization.

The girl who flirts the best parts of her years away, lbading honest men into the hope that their affection was returned only to refuse them with a light laugh and seeming surprise when they lay their hearts at her feet will find that love is not sport. It Is a serious sentiment, the greatest, grandest and noblest known to mortals. It is not to be dealt lightly with, but to be considered with reverence and sincerity. Love hath not its seat in frivolity. The frivolous woman knows not its depths or its influence.

She is but a bubble on the great sea of humanity. If love sports with her It will not break her heart, for its root never strikes deeper than the upper crust of the soil of her affections. It is the woman who loves too well, who has not held her heart In leash, that deserves not the scorn of her sister women, but their pity, their counsel, the air of their helping hands, and kindly words. It is ever the way of the world to blame woman for her follies. But every case has Its own pathetic side which should call for a tear Instead of a sneer.

Such misplaced Infatuations are truly the sport of love. MISS LIBBEY ANSWERS.

The Iluvcmeyer cup was for the best display of sugar beets made by any state. There was more competition for this prize than for any other. The William It. Hearst cup was awarded to Otego County, Colorado, for having the best county exhibit of agricultural products in the country. James J.

Ilill, the railroad magnate, after visiting the show in New Youk, made the following statement: 1 11 7 ii 4 t.I Colorado is becoming- known as one of the most wide awake states of the West, and that means of the entire country. Few people in the East realize the great resources of the estern commonwealth, and this is an excellent time to teach them. Colorados exhibit in the land show here certainly is an eye-opener, and the variety of the products makes it most pleasing. adjoining the metropolis of Colorado and of the Rocky Mountain states, means Colorado at its best. Tligliview Park has the climale, the soil and the water which makes Colorados agricultural and horticultural products top notchers for quality.

And besides, there is the location, which means a market right at your door, the best in the country, the saving in freight rates, and the certainty that Ilighview Park will soon be selling at city lot prices. Where can you beat it? The answer is easy. You cant. Now we dont want to overdraw the situation. That would be absurd anyway.

AYe want you to go and look at this land. Arou can make money on it, Arou can have splendid health in the finest, kind of climate. It will grow into money all the time. And dont forget the extremely Ioav prices and the reasonable terms. Come and look at irrigated, suburban land at prices lower than dry land prices in eastern Kansas.
