I got able to go

my hands to geft
up. My husband
1 got me two bot
tles of Dr. Pierce's
" Favorite Prescrip
tion, which I took and got along nicely.
I could sit up, and my back did not
hurt me. Was so nervous I could not
sleep nights; my heart troubled me
and my back had sharp, stinging pains
when I 'would lean my head forward.
I wrote to I>r. Pierce and was advised
to take 'Favorite Prescription.' I used
several bottles and now I do all my
own work and tend to my garden and
flowers. May God bless you is my
prayer."—Mus. Ellis W. Stiffleb,

This is one of the smartest as well as
one of the simplest of the favorite one
piece gowns. Here, it is made of plain
gabardine and is trimmgl with plaid
taffeta, but you could copyit in a great
many different materials. If it were
made of velvet, for example, with fur
collar and cuffs, it would be an exceed
ingly handsome frock and for such ma
terial, the pockets would be omitted. If it
were made of taffeta, it would be a very
pretty afternoon dress, and for every-day
use, it could be made of gabardine, serge
plaid or striped material or of anything
of the sort. The plaited skirt is joined to
a loose blouse and the fulness is held at
the waist line by means of the belt. It is
f he simplest thing in the world to make,
for there is no fitting required. The
:ieck may be made high with flaring collar
or cut square.

This home-made cough syrup is now
used in more homes than any other cough
remedy. Its promptness, ease and cer
tainty in conquering distressing coughs,
chest and throat colds, is really remark
able. Vou can actually feel it take hold
A dav s use will usually overcome the
ordinary cough—relieves even whooping
cough quickly. Splendid, too, for bron
chitis, spasmodic croup, bronchial asthma
and winter coughs.
Get from any druggist 2% ounces of
I inex (oO cents worth), pour it in a pint
bottle and till the bottle with plain granu
lated sugar Byrup. This gives you—at a
cost of only 54 cents—a full pint of better
cough syrup than you could buy for $2.50.
Jakes but a few minutes to prepare. Full
directions with Pinex. Tastes good and
Sever spoils.
You will be pleasantly surprised how
quickly it loosens dry, hoarse or tight
coughs, and heals the inflamed mem
branes in a painful cough. It also stops
the formation of phlegm in the throat
and bronchial tubes, thus ending the per
sistent loose cough.
Pinex is a most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine ex

"Their Married Life
' CoMvriifht by International News Service ,
(Copyright, 1915, International News
Service.)
"Are we going- to the theater?"
asked Helen. It was one of the
rather eventful Saturday afternoons
that they had spent together of late
and they had just finished lunch.
"No, I have something else in
mind," said Warren as he sipped
his coffee and looked aoross at her
critically. Helen was wearing the
blue suit trimmed with beaver, with
a smart little toque to match. Sho
looked well in the outfit, but some
thing In Warren's gaze made her ask
suddenly:
"What's the matter, dear is
anything wrong with me?"
"Not a thing. I just wondered if
you would ike to hear a little piece
of news."
"Of .course T would."
"I wonder if this would be a good
time to tell you."
"Is it anything I won't like to
hear?"
Helen asked this so timorously
that Warren laughed good natured
ly. He was always feeling well
when he was drinking cofTee and
smoking a good cigar. .
"That depends," he said teasingly.
"Now, really, dear, do be serious."
"All right, I'll tell you and relieve
you of anxiety on that score," and
lie drew out some papers and
spread out an officjal looking docu
ment before her.
"What does it mean?" said Helen
puzzled.
"Money," said Warren shortly.
Helen perused the thing with
wrinkled brows for a moment, and
then gave it up In despair.
"Tell me what it means, Warren."
Warren folded up the paper, not
troubling to explain.
"Well,"\ he said a little shame
facedly, "I invested a little money
last -week, and had some luck."
Helen's joy at the announcement
was somewhat taken away by her
fear.
"But we haven't enough money to
take risks, have we?"
"Well, no, we haven't; but I de
cided to take a fling; it wasn't
much."
"How much?"
"A thousand."
"Isn't that a lot?"
"It is if you lose it, but I hap
pened to win five."
"You didn't really, dear?"
"I certainly did; that's what I am
trying to explain."
Helen was silent in her surprise.
"Well. are you properly im
pressed?" said Warren, knocking the
ashes from his cigar and taking up
the check leisurely.
"Yes, T am overwhelmed. Five
thousand dollars." And Helen drew
a long breath and the color came
into her cheeks suddenly. It was
certainly dangerous to speculate
and they might have lost a thou
sand dollars, but they hadn't, and she
hadn't the heart to scold Warren as
she felt she ought to do.
"And now do you want to know
what we are going to do?" Warren
interrupted her thoughts by say
ing.

TRAVELETTE
By NIKSAH
NORTH CAPE
— J
When you stand on the bold rocky
promortory, that Juts Into the Arctic
ocean from the Norwegian coast, you
have corr.o as close to the pole as is
possible on European soil. North
Cape is the northernmost point of the
continent. It is a huge rugged rock,
almost a thousand feet high, jutting
grim and forbidding Into the icy arctic
waters.
As you look northward from its
towering crest, .there is nothing to
be seen save an endless desert of toss
ing sea, gray as the rock itself. Your
gaze is drawn on and on, to lose it
self where sky and ocean meet on
the far horizon. You feel that you
can almost touch the ice-locked secret
of the north.
Then, if you have come on the
regular tourist steamer, you turn
round and buy a dozen post cards of
the Cape to send your friends. If
there is enough light you may even
have your owli photograph on one of
the cards. Nortty Cape is too valuable
an asset to be neglected in tourist
haunted Europe. A good path has
been cut all the way to the top of
the rock, with ropes here and there
for the struggling climber. During
the summer, a number of guides camp
at the foot, to help the feminine visi
tor with her camera, shawl and um
brella.
Once on top, you And traces of visit
ing royalty, in the shape of a monu
ment to King Oscar of Norway, and
a cairn built by the German emperor
fourteen years ago. The North Cape
trip is a favorite with Wilhelm 11,
and foP many years he made It an
nually. The last voyage or two have
been unavoidably postponed, owing
to pressing engagements in France
and Russia, but it is confidently ex
pected that he will resume his visits

"No; what?" she said enthusiasti
cally.
We are going shopping
He gave a bill io the waiter, who
returned a few minutes later with
Ihe change. Helen followed him
out of the hotel, and they walked
down Fifth avenue.
'Do tell me what you are going
to buy* Warren," coaxed Helen.
"YcH'll see."
"W/te're going in here," said War
ren, stopping, and she followed him
into a well-known furrier's.
"What for, dear?" she managed
to whisper.
"To buy you a coat," Warren an
nounced.
Helen was speechless, and she
heard Warren's voice from a long
distance asking to see something
in fur coats for this lady.
Even then Helen found time to
whisper remonstratingly, we can
do better, dear; they are sure to
be so expensive here."
"We don't have to consider ex
pense," said Warren, loftily, and
Helen relapsed into silence at that,
and the saleswoman came back with
three coats over her arm and spread
them over a chair before Helen.
The first was of Hudson seal, ana
Helen slipped into it luxuriously.
Once she had longed for a Hudson
seal coat, but she had never ex
pected to own one. It had a collar
of lynx and was lined with brocade.
Helen picked up a caracul coat
and discarded it after a brief glance.
"I don't like caracul," she ex
plained, "it looks old."
The third coat was of squirrel,
and Warren did not like it on her,
so they turned back to the llrst
model. At that moment tli e sales
woman came back with another
coat over her arm. It was of mole
skin and Helen gave a little cry
of rapture. It was lined inside with
gold colored satin and had a collar
and huge cuffs of blue fox. A coat
like that had been the dream of her
life. Of course it wasn't practicable,
but it was what she longed for
more than anything.
"Only six hundded dollars," the
woman was saying, "and this muff
goes with it," and she handed Helen
a muff of the same fur with a bor
der of blue fox.
"I guess this is the coat," Warren
said peremptorily, "I'll take it, and
can send it home right away."
AVarren paid for the thing with
crisp new bank notes, and Helen
still in a dream, followed him out.
"I'm going to put the other four
thousand in the hank, and take this
four hundred and start an account
for Winifred," Warren was saying.
"Warren, dear," Helen began, "I
don't know how to tell you how I
feel." But Warren silenced her im
mediately.
"Now none of that," he said
roughly. "Let's ride up on the Fifth
avenue 'bus', shall we? I wanted
you to have the coat and that's all
there is to It, so don't say another
thing."
(Another instalment of this de
lightful series will appear here soon).
when these little matters have been
adjusted.
If you are very lucky, indeed, you
may stand on the cold rock at mid
night and see the wonderful glow of
the midnight sun. Every tourist who
goes to the cape claims to have seen
this glory; it is like the tale of the
six-pound bass that got away—a
harmless flight of the imagination to
be winked at by the recording angel.
As a matter of fact, the phenomenon
is very rare, but worth a dozen fruit
less trips to see it once. • The sullen
glow in the angry heavens, the black
northern waters tinged with fire, the
silence broken .only by the lay of
waves and stirring of icy breezes,
make an impression never to be for
gott|n.

Charles Stone as vicar of Holy Trinity
Chapel, Twenty-Second and Spruce
streets, wias verified yesterday when it
became known that Mr. Stone resign

The Rev. Mr. Stone will take a
nonparochial office, in order to give

markable growth since last March.
The fellowship is said to have about
100,000 members.

90 Years Old, He Spends
All His Money For Ticket
to His Old Home Town
L.os Angeles. Cal.. Dec. 28. Be
cause he wanted to spend Christmas
in sunny Tennessee in his little log
hewn cabin and to greet once more
his few old comrades in Johnson City
who still remember Bull Run and the
battle above the clouds Henry Elkins,
90 years old and palsied with age
spent $56.45 —all 'cept 55 cents for a
ticket to the East.
With his few remaining cents he
sent a porter out for some canned
hash and a loaf of bread all he
would have to eat until he reached
his destination. But the hearts of
the porter and the other Southern
Pacific employes were touched by his
gentleness and the porter came back
carrying a large basket filled with
good things to eat. As the train pull
ed out a purse containing enough of
money to give him comfort on his
long journey was slipped into his
hand.
Although the old man wore poor
and shabby clothes his quaint, old
fashioned charm immediately struck
a responsive chord in the hearts of
those who saw his happy departure.

Death Rate Among Babies
of Overworked Mothers Is
High, Bureau Finds
"No one knows how many fathers
or how many mothers there are in the
United States. No one knows how
many motliers are at work for gain
outside thier homes." The Children's
Bureau of the U. S. Department of
Labor brings out this fact in Its third
annual report made public to-day,
and says that it is impossible to de
termine the relative importance of
the high death rate among babies of
working mothers until we know how
many mothers there are at work in
industry.
The Children's Bureau is conduct
ing a detailed inquiry into the social
and economic causes of babies'
ileaths. The present report shows
that the two items of the inquiry;
completed during the past year re
veal an average infant death rate of
134 out of every 1000 babies in a
steel-making and coal-mining town
as against a rate of 84 out of every
1000 in a residential suburb. An even
greater contrast is found between the
most congested section and tha
choicest residential section in each of
these two communities.
