MOST LITTLE BABIES I>IE, either from bowel troubles
or from diseases which they contract because they
are in a weak and feeble condition from bowel troubles.
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.

In Cold Water.
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.

"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

1 A POKER FAIRY TALE
QUEER CLIMAX OF THE WIND UP
JACK POT OF THE GAME.
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. Smoke
| if you must, I say. but steer clear of
smoking cars."—Philadelphia Record.
