Stomach Disorders
First Revealed by
Coated Tongue
Your tongue is nothing more
than the upper end of your stom
ach and intestines. It is the first
thing your doctor looks at It tells
at a glance the condition of your
digestive system—and physicians
say that 90% of all sickness starts
with stomach and bowel trouble.
A coated tongue is a danger sig
nal of those digestive disorders
. which lead to so many kinds of
serious illness. It tells why the
least exertion tires you out; why
you have pains in the bowels, gas,
sour stomach, dizzy spells.
Coating on the tongue is a sign
thst you need Tanlac—the medi
cine which has helped thousands
who were physical wrecks from
stomach and bowel troubles—who
had "tried everything” in vain and
about given up hope.
Tanlac contains no mineral
drugs; it is made of barks, herbs
and roots. Get a bottle from your
druggist today. Your money back

A Comer Bookcase By Mane Mar©t
WHEN we say "bookcase” we Invariably
think of an array of shelves flat against
a wall. Recently I had a pleasant sur
prise by finding the case which I have illustrated
here, which fits into the corner of a room.
French, of course, and one of the loveliest
pieces of furniture I think I have ever seen. It
is fashioned of marquetry with a charming
painted motif in the oval. Against walls of
creamy white, it made one think of a rare jewel
in a perfect setting.
The Chippendale easy chair beside the ease
is upholstered in needlepoint and dates back to
1
1770. With a rmall table at itr ride, topped
with a flower bowl of deep blue glass, the cor
ner seemed to beckon an invitation to all who
entered the room.
The rug is of resedn green, nnd thrown over
it is an Oriental rug in fascinating colors.
Of course, we may not all be fortunate enough
to be able to afford the loveliness of these an
tiques, but the local carpenter could fashion a
case similar to this, and it could be painted to
carry out whatever color scheme was planned.
It’s a lovely way to hide the plain corner of a
room, and is at the same time a most useful
piece of furniture.

MEDIUM WIND-BLOWN
IDEAL FOR OUT-DOORS
Modified Short Bob, So Easy to Adopt to a More Formal
“Coif,” Is Just the Thing for Beach and
Sports, Says Miss Huddleston
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
With the coming of summer a lot of the gills
who were letting their hair grow are weakening’ To
such an rrtent. in fact, that last week during a rush
trip into New York tl ve moved to the country for
the summer* I found my favorite hairdresser liter
ally swamped with appointments for ’'cuts” and
“shapes;" cuts tn the parlance of the profession
meaning that the loneiah locks were to he snipped
off. -shapes" meaning that a different type of bob
was contemplated.
So it would seem that short hair is to he the
vogue again this fear. It s far the most sensible
thing for hot weather since short hair is so much
easier to take care of and infinitely younger looking
than long hair. Also, contrary to many current re
ports that bobs air to be longer, a ma)oritv of wom
en are leaning towards e rather short mode for the
coming months
thaS U” rwpJuf’thte j
sss S-.JK gygaisfaLi’»~ s z
since it is short enough to insure
head comfort on the hottest days
and yet it is devoid of the extreme
ragamuffin outline that is the out
standing feature of the true wind
blown.
Most of you are familiar with the
wind-blown with its ends that
swirl out on * the forehead and
cheeks, but the moaified wind
blown hasn't been given as much
publicity as it merits. In this mode
the ha.r falls low on the forehead
in r deep, loose dip or wave and
—1 _
the ends, instead of straggling over
the forehead, are arranged so that
they fall flat and neat, like the fin
ish of a regular ware. Little half
curls that he flat on the temples fill
in that sj>are. while the side waves
are pulled forward until they come
out on the cheeks, but again with
out the scraggly gypsy ends. The
last wave finishes off. as in more
formal coiffures, with a soft, flat
curl out on the cheeks
The entire arrangement of waves
comes forward but the trick lies It
controlling the ends of the hair in
stead of letting them sweep any old
way on the forehead and cheek*.
Those of you who prefer a side
part can give a formal touch to tbit
mode by adding a braided loop at
the sides of the hair fer late after
noon or evening wear These loopa
should be about two Inches across
and about a third of an Inch wide
One clever braided arrangement of
this kind was recently observed byw
the writer, and It was a decidedly
new and enchanting note without
bring too extreme for the average
girl or woman to wear
Those women mho like the center
part will find that the softly fitted
head contour that comes with the
deft placement of a few deep waves
in a moderately short bob can be
formalised by bringing a deep dtp
lew on the forehead at each side of
the head at each side of the part.
The ends of these dip# almost touch
the eyebrows and are gently curved
back so that they are not observed
from the front when the braided
bandeau t» pinned Into place This
braid should be about an inch wide
and circle the entire head, covering
the ear# and crossing the centre of
the head at the point called the
crown. It pm# in the hack, and a
small jewelled ornament can be
placed over the Joining so that no
break in the line is seen. This style
is particularly attractive tf one la
of the oval-faced type, and when
long drop-earrings are worn, prefer
ably ones that match a flat choker
necklace of the same design.
