Nowadays, people take Bayer Aspir in for many little aches and pains, and as often as they encounter any pain. Why not? It is a proven anti dote for pain. It works! And Bayer Aspirin tablets are utterly harmless. You have the medial profession's word for that; they do not depren the heart So, don't let a cold “run its course.” Don’t wait for a head* ache to “wear off ” Or regard neuralgia, neuritis, or even rheum atism as something you must en dure. Only a physician can cope with the cause of such pain, but you can always turn to Bayer Aspir in for relief. Bayer Aspirin is always avail able, and it always helps. Famil iarize yourself with its many uses, and avoid a lot of needless suffering.

Germany. Nov. 25—m Eight persons were injured seriously and four others hurt slightly in a terrific explosion today in the pub lic market Hallon Weberplatz. The blast was attributed to gas leakage. It was feared there might be other victims in the debris. The market hall collapsed in the explosion, burying shopper^. There iwas considerable material damage. The \Eyes, of the Home And Their Care The well-dressed window, like the well-dressed woman, must now show a proper regard for the new sun and air worship. Today heavy draperies have gone to join the ruffled petticoats. The new window, too. must not only be a fitting frame for the scenic pic ure outside, but must also be an important part of the pic ture within. In the delightful apartment bed room sketched, the overdraperies, in stead of being pompous, arc of a cheerful, colorful figured voile. Dig nity is assured to the light fabric by making the draperies floor length and finishing them with two deep flounces at the bottom and by a painted pole with rings at the top. The lower sash curtain, ending at the window sill, and the glazed chintz shade are a soft apricot, echoing that color in the flowers of the voile and the painted furniture —a pleasing color melody with the contrasting notes of a soft blue and green rug. How long should curtains be? ‘ Just right"—and that needs botn art and science. Overdraperies may go down to the floor, to the top of the baseboard or the lower edge of the window apron. Glass curtains hung from a rod fitted into sockets should end at the window siU. But If the rod has goose-neck ends, and the casing at the top of the window is covered, the glass curtains also should end at the lower edge of the apron. If I you are going In for the modern ! istic, you may indulge in floor length glass curtains or under-cur tains. Is the room low-ceilinged? Then the new style of “no valances” is just right to give the impression of height. Is the room too high-ceilinged for coziness? Then the valance is correct, new style or not. because its horizontal line seems to subtract from the height. What can be done with double windows? Be thankful for them in a small or medium-sized room be cause the new treatment favors dealing with them as one unit—and the room has the air of greater space. It is amazing how you can “move walls” and change the size of a room wiih the help of window draperies.
