When in need a restorative it is safe to be guided by the "experience of men who know. Hall's Wine is the Great British Tonica for Ivalth and Strength;the prescription of a well-known English medical man. Thousands of doctors prescribe it in their daily practice as a safeguard against Coughs and Cold's, as an aid to Con- valescence, and for counteracting exhaustion after illness or operation. It is the Supreme Tonic Restorative and enables the run-down system to resist disease."

"
More thoughtful work in the home. More work on the estate. Live within your means. Observa economy, since it means the application of the best qualities a woman possesses.
A sound, simple, happy, and inexpensive standard of home life.
Eliminate all unessentials; waste nothing, and yet be not sordid in saving.
Each woman must regulate her own economies by herself
Some lady speakers garu concrete ins- tances of their presonal views, which included the following:-
Market on a cash basis.
Engage and train inesponsive houseboys. Only keep a good cook till he has trained
the other servants.
In these days of cheap petrol use A motor vehicle instead of a push bicycle." Purchase goods of local manufacture. Think in shillinge.
Regard domestic responsibilities as * business proposition.
Drop keeping up appearances" and troubling about what people will think."
It is false economy to buy only the cheapest food; the most nourishing, well cooked, is not necessarily the expensive.

Learn to refuse a drink,
Have a "refusal week," in which all alcoholic refreshment shall be refused.
Several resolutious were carried, and they included the following:
