These are the remarkably liberal terms upon which we sell that
new and improved sewing machine which was recently invented by
Wm. C. Free, which has been so widely advertised in Women's
Magazines, and which is revolutionizing the sewing machine business,
The FREE
Because of the fact that The FREE is sold so much lower than the best known
sewing machines, we have agreed never to publish the price broadcast. You
would judge its quality by its cost. You would not believe that absolutely the
best sewing machine in the world could be obtained at such a bargain.
So instead of talking price, we have decided to make it easy for you to own
FREE and find out its quality yourself. We will sell it to you at your own
terms, as low as $1.00 a week, and to show you how we place our whole establish

MACHINE MAKES NOODLES
Complete Little Manufacturing Plant
In Italy That Will Cut the Qoods
"To Order."
A noodle machine Is a complete lit
tle manufacturing plant In ltaelf, and
will turn out in a short time noodles
enough to supply the town. It can bo
operated by hand or by meohanlo&l
power. It requires only about one
eighth of a horsepower to run the
larger-sized machine.
The machine can be adjusted in a
second so as to tut the noodles differ
ent sizes, from the width of a thread
up to half an lnoh. Although a small
machine, it is mighty in the work it
performs. It may be placed where
customers can see it, and the noodles
"cut to order."
Contrary to general supposition,
noodles are also used for dishes other
than soup. Noodle 60up in Itself,
however, is a dish relished by nearly
everybody regardless of nationality.
The noodles must, of course, first be
boiled by the housewife, after which
they may be served in various ways.
The Germans often serve noodles
with German prunes. Noodles may
also be served with milk seasoned to
suit the taste with salt and butter.
They may be served with chill. The
Italians take the cookcd noodles, add
seasoned tomatoes and bake for half
an hour. Noodles make an excellent
dessert by pouring melted butter over
them and adding chopped nuts or
fruit.—Baker's Weekly.
SEL0US A HARDY EXPLORER
While Traveling in the Wilds of
Africa for Years He Always
8lept on the Ground.
Mr. Selous, a distinguished hunter
and explorer, was in England, and
telling something of his methods when
in the wilds of Africa. How little he
cared for personal comfort may be
gathered from his remark that he
:never thought of taking any sort of
conveyance, even to the extent of a
hammock for ease by day or rest at
'night, and would not be encumbered
'by a tent. For weeks together, year
'after year, he slept on the groirnd,
Icovered only by something in the
'shape of a blanket. A6ked if there
were any reptiles to disturb repose
under such circumstances, Mr. Selous
replied that, although venonlous
'snakes Were to be found, bites from
.them were very rare, and In all his
experience he had never known any
body, either native or European,
killed by a snake bite in Mashona
land. "In fact," he said, "you run
more risk of being killed by an omni
bus in London streets than we do by
venomous snakes in African forests."
Telephone Proposal Won Bride. I
One of the Polish belles of Holyoke
was married a short time ago to a
.suitor who used the telephone to pro
pose to her, thus beating out three
rivals who resorted to the mails.
The bride-elect attended a dance In
Springfield and made a tremendous
hit.
Three young men, after pondering
fervently over her charms, wrote pro
posals. All proposals came In the
same mail the next day.
But jufct before the mail arrived the
fourth suitor, more enterprising than
his fellows, called the girl to a pay
station telephone, proposed and was
accepted.
The girl went home and found the
three proposal letters. But she was
faithful to her telephone sweetheart
and had her trousseau purchased with
in a few days.—New England Tele

FLOWERS ON THE FUR SCARF
Effective Touch That Gives Relief to
Somber Garments Worn in
Cold Weather.
One small touch of color makes
sombre garments bloom with bright
ness. This is quite noticeable since
the women began wearing a tiny
bunch of artificial flowers or a single
satin rose against the dark fur shoul
der scarf. This fashion began just a
few weeks ago, and it has been widely
taken up ever since. It is interesting
to watch a thing like this grow.
A woman came into an afternoon
tea with a brilliant plnkh satin rose
pinned on a black fox scarf. Twenty
women discussed it later and the next
day after that half the number were
downtown shopping for colored flow
ers. On the succeeding days there
were flowers in plenty on dark fuis
wherever women were foregathred.
It was a small touch, but it gave
color and brilliancy to the dull tones
that women wear on our streets. It
was better than a gardenia in the but
tonhole, and better than a bow ot
colored ribbon, although this fashion
is being taken up by those who do not
wish to pay the price for a good arti
ficial blossom.
The fashion for satin flowers came
in last summer, but did not meet with
wide success in this particular spot.
One saw roses of the material on hats
and again on evening gowns as a rival
to the rococo affairs of bullion cloth.
Empire gowns for young girls carried
girdles of tiny satin buds on a green
vine, and even slippers were finished
off with a tiny satin blossom.
Yet the vogue of the single flower
well made and attached to the cos
tume as a note of rich color was not
in general use. Then, without warn
ing, came this attractive method of
pinning such a color t/) one's furs. In
the old days, when a fur piece was
something to keep one warm In the
street and to be laid aside indoors,
the colored flower would not have
served half as well as It does now,
when furs are retained at all formal
daytime affairs exceut luncheons.

GIVING BELLS THEIR TONE
All of Them Must Go Through a
Process of Tuning, Like Any
Musical Instrument.
"What a beautiful tone that bell
has!" is often heard. There are few,
however, who know how a bell re
ceives its joyful or solemn tones.
All bells after they are cast and
'finished must go through a process
of tuning the same as any other
.musical instrument before they re
spond with a clear, true tone. Every
bell sounds five notes, which must
blend together In order to produce
perfect harmony.
The tuning of a bell is done by
means of shaving thin bits from vari
ous parts of the metal. It Is as easy
for an expert bell-tuner to put a bell
in tune as it is for a piano-tuner to
adjust his instrument to perfect
chords.
At first thought it would seem that
a bell would be ruined should the
tuner shave off too much at the last
tuning, or the fifth sound, but Buch is
not the case. He would, however,
be obliged to begin afresh, starting
with the first one and and shaving
the bell until it gave forth its har
monious sound at the fifth tone.
A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL.

Just one more kiss for good-night.
And then you may go to my dear papa.
And—yes—you may put out the light.
For I'll promise you truly I won't be
afraid.
As I was last night, you see,
'Cause I'm going to be papa's brave little
mold,
As he told me I ought to be.
But the shadows won't seem so dark,
mamma,
It you'll kljss me a little bit more:
And, you know, I can listen and hear
where you are
If you only won't shut the door.
For if I can hear you talking, I think.
It will make me «o sleepy, maybe.
That I'll go to sleep Just as quick aa a
wink,
And forget—to—to like a baby.

You needn't
dear.
While you're hugging me up so tight:
You think I am crying to keep you here.
You, and—I
guess—the
light.
Please kiss me good-night once more,
mamma
I could scarcely my promise keep.
If you'd only stay with me Just as you
are,
And kiss me till—I go to sleep.
