Remember the good old- 
fashioned mustard plaster 
Grandma used to pin around 
your neck when you had a 
cold or a sore throat? 
It did the work, but my how it 
burned and blistered! 
Musterole breaks up colds in a 
hurry, but it does its work more 
gently—without the blister. Rubbed 
over the throat or chest, it penetrates 
the skin with a tingling warmth that 
brings relief at once. 
Made from pure oil of mustard, it is 
a clean, white ointment good for all 
the little household ills. 
Keep the little white jar of Musterole 
on your bathroom shelf and bring it 
out at the first sign of tonsillitis, croup, 
neuritis, rheumatism or a cold. 
To Mothers: Musterole is also made 
in milder form for babies and small chil¬ 
dren. Ask for Children’s Musterole.

Next was the baby show, then the

were billed to give our entertainment 
again, but all passed off without any 
trouble, only, well, I guess it was a bit 
too strenuous, for me, and I am resting 
a few days whether I will to or not. 
But it sure was a busy week, a happy 
week, and I’ve not a thing to regret.

Christmas Prepardness 
The oldtime spirt of Christmas is real¬ 
ly being lost in this hurly-burly way of 
the world today. How often we hear 
people say they have given up giving 
presents, because they were expected to 
give so many expensive gifts, and they 
couldn’t afford it! In a friendly way it 
often means so much to lifelong friends 
who have perhaps only exchanged a 
small gift, like a fancy calendar or 
handkerchief, and perhaps this is the 
only time during the whole year that 
messages are interchanged. If one starts 
in early in the year, perhaps begin with 
the New Year and prepare for next 
Christmas, you will get a lot of pleasure 
out of the gift-giving with a very little 
expense. 
If you are a farm woman, you no 
doubt raise poultry and vegetables, and 
you should know how to sew. Usually 
after the holidays there is a little slack 
time in farm work, so as you are doing 
your sewing, make a pretty extra apron 
or housedress and put it in the Christ¬ 
mas box. Another nice gift is pillow 
cases. I know an old lady who earns 
her spending money by crocheting lace 
for pillowcases and trimming for under¬ 
wear, but old people cannot do things in 
a rush, so I ordered some pillowcases 
from her early in the Summer for Christ¬ 
mas presents, and she now, has orders 
for over 80 pairs for Christmas. While 
I am sewing I make some underwear all 
ready for the lace, then send it to her 
and she makes and sews on the lace. I 
feel these gifts are twice enjoyed, as I 
have given work to some one who wanted 
it, and had the pleasure of remembering 
my friends at Christmas. 
Another good gift is a rag rug. Save 
all your rags and color them, and if your 
friend has a blue bedroom or bathroom 
make her a blue and white rug, using blue 
and white warp, or whatever color 
scheme is used in the room. 
Lovely silk underwear can be made 
for so much less than the ready-made. 
Buy your silk from some regular silk 
shop, then get a good pattern. 
For the little folks pretty slippers can 
be made from heavy felt, and an edge 
crocheted around the top and up the 
front, where the seam is. Crocheted 
balls and canton flannel dogs, with shoe 
buttons for eyes, black ears, and red 
worsted for mouth always give pleasure. 
Then as the garden season comes on, 
when canning vegetables and making 
jelly, do a few extra jars to put in the 
Christmas boxes. When you set your 
hens set at least one extra to have some 
nice fat chickens to put in the Christ¬ 
mas baskets. When raising plants have 
in mind a friend who would like a pretty 
plant, something she could enjoy and 
think of you every time she watered it. 
In the Fall there are always pretty wild 
ferns and vines that kept trimmed back, 
make such pretty centerpieces for the 
table. Gather some butternuts, raise 
some popcorn. When making fancy 
pickles and jelly put them in attractive 
dishes that you can tie up with red and 
white or green paper. While there are 
plenty of Fall apples make a good supply 
of mincemeat. A can in a Christmas 
box is appreciated. And then perhaps 
you know some men who are all alone, 
and do their own housekeeping, as they 
have no near relatives. Make a nice 
mince pie and send it to each of them 
with a Merry Christmas greeting, and I 
know you will get pleasure from it. 
Where there are wild grapes make a 
few bottles of plain grape juice also bot¬ 
tle some sweet cider; put some of both 
of these in your mincemeat, too, it makes 
it “extra good.” If you raise your own 
berries, can some extra cans for Christ¬ 
mas, and there are many more things 
just as easy to get ready and I am sure 
your friends will be more pleased than 
with an expensive gift they know you 
could not afford. MRS. J. c. 
For You—A Free Test 
The way to prettier teeth, new safety, new delights 
This offers your home something 
everybody prizes — whiter, cleaner, 
safer teeth. It has brought these bene¬ 
fits to millions, the world over. The 
results are seen in every circle now.

method means to you and yours. 
Film must be combated 
Film is the great tooth enemy—* 
that viscous film you feel. Under old¬ 
way cleaning methods, much of it 
clings and stays. 
Film becomes discolored, then 
forms dingy, clinging coats. That is 
why so many teeth look cloudy. 
Film also holds food substance 
which ferments and forms acid. It 
holds the acid in contact with the 
teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by 
millions in it. They, with tartar, are 
the chief cause of pyorrhea. 
You can better escape those troubles 
by efficiently fighting film. 
Dental science has now found ef¬ 
fective film combatants. One disin¬ 
tegrates the film at all stages of 
formation. One removes it without 
harmful scouring. 
Able authorities have proved these 
methods effective. A new-type tooth

then removes it with an agent far

film combatant which contains 
harsh grit. 
paste has been created to apply them 
daily. The name is Pepsodent. 
People the world over have adopted 
this method, because of evident re¬ 
sults. Leading dentists of some 50 
nations are advising it today. 
None who see can doubt 
Pepsodent effects are seen and felt 
at once. It does more than fight film. 
It multiplies the alkalinity of the 
saliva, there to neutralize mouth acids. 
It multiplies the ptyalin in saliva, 
there to digest starch deposits on 
teeth. These combined effects bring 
at once a new conception of clean 
teeth.
