In The Pink

Pinkettes, taken occasionally when needed, keep you! "in the pink". These dainty, pink sugar-coated, all-vegetable laxative pills, stimulate the action of the liver in e perfectly natural way. They neither gripe nor purge.

If you are feeling off-colour, liverish, grouchy, depressed, it is probable that you are suffering from partial constipation to correct which there is nothing better than a dose of Pinkettes.

Pinkettes cleanse the food tract, and digestion. correct liverishness, prevent bilious attacks, sweeten the breath, clear the skin; they help put you "in the pink" of physical and mental condition. Of chemists everywhere.

For sound sleepers the advantages' of a rubber hot-water bottle may far outweigh its disadvantages, but for the wake fu. ¿t is a different matter, especially in wintry weather. For them the heat-retaining properties of the bottle count anost of all and, judged on this score, the rubber bottle lags far behind the metal one, One of the tatter, if made of good thick metal and at least two quarts, can be upon to be comfortingly hot at the end of eight hours, always supposing that the bottle had had the chill taken off with a little hot water before being filled right to the stopper with boiling water—a procedure entirely fatal to rubber, bottles. The metal bottle should] have a really thick woollen cover, thick so that the bottle is not uncomfortably, even aggressively, hot during the first few hours, and thick also so that it may retain the heat for those chilly morning hours when the cover. can be discarded, In self-defence, stopper and all must be enclosed, and a bag knitted Or crocheted in thick wool and drawn up by woollen braid is perhaps most satisfactory. If it is to be knitted, the well-known moss-stitch gives the right close texture; if crochet is decided upon, then the Afghan pattern cannot be beaten, In case this is unfamiliar, the method of working is given.

Begin by making a length of chain-stitch. For the first row miss the first stitch and proceed to draw a loop through each following stitch, keeping them on the hook as in knitting, Now for the second row pass the wool round the hook and draw a loop through the end loop on the hook, then, passing the wool again found the hook, draw a loop through the next two loops on the hook. Continue passing the wool round the hook and drawing a loop through two loops until only one stitch remains: leave this on the hook. For the third row pass the hook from right to left through the second upright stitch, pass the wool over the hook, draw a loop through, keeping it on the hook, Continue this until a loop has been drawn through each upright stitch in turn. Now repeat the second row, then the third one, and so on. When a sufficiently long strip has been worked, finish off by making a double crochet into each upright stitch of the last row.
