Mothers who an- seeking the ideal and proper medicine to give their little ones for constipation, diarrlia'a, colic and simple fevers will iind LAX A KOLA the great family remedy. It is the best and most effective laxative for children. HEST liecause it is safe and made entirely of harmless ingredients. BKST because it is non-irritating and never gripes or causes pain or irritation. BKST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because " Children like it ami ask for it." .It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent remedies that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it, and it also will check simple fevers, break up colds and clear the coated tongue. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhoea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, from the fact that LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of fermentation, aids digestion, relieves restlessness, as-iats nature and induces sleep.

Those who have heavy brnssels and moqnette carpets often timl it conven ient to clean them without taking them from the floor, and this can be very easily and satisfactorily done. Tear some old newspapers into small pieces, soak them in water, then roll them be tween the hands until they form soft little balls. Scatter them thickly over the carpets, then give It a thorough sweeping with a broom. The paper will collect the dust and keep it from flying about. Prepare a cleansing mix ture by dissolving two bars of white soap in half a gallon of hot water ami adding four ounces of borax. Add enough of this mixture to a pan of wa ter to make a strong suds and scrub the carpet with it, using a brush and taking only a small place at a time, just as you would scrub\a floor. When the place you are washing is clean, wipe it with a soft rag wrung out of clean water and proceed in this way until you have gone over the en tire carpet. If only a small portion Is soiled, this may be washed and the re mainder left as it is. The borax is a great help in cleaning the carpet and (locs not Injure the colors. When the work is done, open the windows and doors and let the air have free access, | so it will dry quickly. A Supplemental Mirror. The invention illustrated below has for its object to provide a supplemental mirror having an adjustable connection with the hmttiu and adapted to be set at a different angle to the large glass to aid In showing a rear view of the per | son dressing at the bureau. Of course it is a woman's invention, as it would take one of the gentler sex to appreci ate the merits of such an arrangement. The invention is formed of a light framework of either metal or wood and Is so arranged that the several parts will fold in small compass when not in use, the sections being hinged together WHEN DRESSING THE HAIR. ' to facilitate both the folding and ad -1 justiucut of the mirror in relation to the main glass. Much latitude is al lowed in the movement of the glass, and it will give a view of the bottom of the skirts equally as well as a view of the arrangement of the liair, thus doing away with all the craning and twisting to obtain a view of the back of the dress. The advantage over a hand mirror used for the same purpose is that it leaves both-hands free to ad just, the hair or garments and also give a steady view when once set. floll KKK* In Cold Water.

"It is high time you were introduced i to this Institution," her wise friend continued, "and I am delighted to illu minate you even at the risk of arousing more of your sarcasm. An egg to be boiled properly for human consumption should be put into cold water and then placed over the fire. Then it cooks witli the water.

Either of them will tell you to put it in cold water. The old way of drop ping the egg into boiling water has long been given up. It used to cook the egg suddenly and destroy its flavor.

Mnnxy Dlftplnyrd Wonderful Power* of Perception and Analyaln, Won the Pool and Saved 111* Opponent the Anionnt of the Lout liaise. "Manxy was one of the best poker players I ever saw. He was a good winner and a good loser. He played his cards all the time for everything they were worth and then some more, and he played a game that was simply Insoluble." The board of trade man leaned back in his chair and smiled reminlseently. "Manxy not only had Hoyle down so that he could recite the poker rules backward and say 'sir* after each word, but he rose to the higher science of the game. He made a careful study ; of every man around the board, and he never played a card but what he darted a keen, sweeping glance at every play er and drew his conclusions as to what they were about to do. If a player had any little tricks or habits that asserted themselves in spite of efforts to repress j them, Manxy knew them by heart. I "I will never forget tln night he took Carter into camp. Carter was a good, i cool, nervy player too. He was an old player and possessed splendid judg ■ inent. One night we had been playing j several hours, and as it was getting to j ward daylight we agreed to have one more round of Jack pots and then go home. We had our round of Jack pots, j three of which Carter won. and then decided on one last consolation Jack pot, with no limit but the roof and $5 jto come in. Carter raised the come in to S2O, and everybody dropped out ex i cept Manxy and one other player. Manxy called for three cards, showing that he had only one pair or nothing at : all: the other man took two cards, indi | eating that he must have threes of a | kind, or else he wouldn't have paid S2O for the privilege of playing any longer, j and Carter stood pat. j "That looked bad. Carter had never i been known to stand pat on anything j but something that was worth while. | lie must have had something pretty ; good to raise the come in to S2O, and j ids standing pat argued that he either had fours or else a straight or a flush, lie had betrayed a nervous start when he tirst picked up his hand, and it argued that he had seen something aw fully good. Now, Manxy had seen the start that Carter gave and knew his style of play well enough to argue that Carter had seen something even bettor than a straight or a flush, and that was a straight flush, something that conies once in a great, long while in a poker game. In fact, Manxy came to the conclusion that Carter had a straight flush, ami the fact of the matter was that a straight flush in spades, king high, was just exactly what Carter had seen in his five cards when he picked them up. "Manxy deliberated a long time be fore he came in with his S2O. but lie was out $75 or SIOO on the game, ami as it was the last pot lie determined to stand a good bit of money in the hopes of making a recoup. He drew to a pair of tens and caught one more. Manxy started the betting with a $lO bill. The other man dropped out, and Carter saw the $lO and raised $25. That looked as though Manxy's surmise about the straight flush which he thought. Carter was holding was good, lie deliberated j for some time. Then he said: j "'Carter, I think and everybody j around here thinks you've got some thing better than fours. I was playing | you for that. Rut now I'll tell you. i Carter, what I'm going to do. I've no ticed that your eyesight is bad and that tobacco smoke when it is right in front of your face always Interferes for a moment or two with your vision. Just as you picked up your cards 1 noticed that you puffed a great cloud of smoke | out of your mouth and that the cloud of smoke was in your eyes when you looked at your cards. Now, I believe that you think you have a straight flush, but I don't believe that you read your cards correctly. lam going to do something that may seem to be awfully bad poker, considering the hand I have, but I am going to play you for your | poor eyesight. I see your bet of $25 ! and raise it $25 more on the ground that your eyes deceived you. You'd better study your cards before you see I my raise.' | "We all waited in breathless silence for a moment, then Carter quietly | threw his cards face upward on the table. I " 'You're right,' he said quietly. 'I thought I had a spade straight flush, king high, in my hand. What I thought was a nine of spades was a nine of ; clubs. I lose.' "—Chicago Tribune. Steer Clear of Smoking Car*. : "I seldom advise my patients to stop smoking, because I know it's a waste of breath to do so," remarked ft subur ban physician yesterday. "In many cases I do advise moderation in the use of the weed, ami when a patient has a weak throat there is one thing that I positively insist upon, and that is that he shall not ride in the smoking cars attached to railroad trains. Breathing that atmosphere for half an hour will do a man more injury than smoking half a dozen cigars in the open air or in a properly ventilated room that is not crowded with other smokers.
