THE potency of Peps is due to the ingenious idea of sealing within a silver jacket certain volatile chest-strengthening medicines which are concentrated in every tablet. When you let a Pops dissolve in the mouth, the healing and germ-killing fumes given off, are breathed direct into the lungs where liquid medicines cannot penetrate.
Peps are splendid for allaying that teasing, tickling cough for loosening choking phlegm soothing the throat and removing any inflammation or irritation in the air-passages. Take Peps as a preventive as well as s cure for coughs, colda, chilia, sore throat, laryngitis, bronchial asthma, catarrh, bronchitis, old folks' and chlidren's chest, troubles..

THE WOMAN'S CORNER.
THIS MODERN CANDOUR.
ITS INFLUENCE ON GOOD MANNERS.
[BY NOEL WENDON.]
Candour: Openness of heart, ripens so quickly and freely that freedom from tricks or disguise.
Thus runs the definition in a standard dictionary, first publish ed in 1885. Little did the lexico grapher dream to what lengths this candour, which he defines, would be carried within 70
years. Has there ever, I wonder, since prehistoric times, been such can dour as there is now 1 The modern woman, with her clear insight and her dislike of fripperies, goes straight to the point, and the young man, glad of a lead, follows Buit.

Women Should Never Tire Of Complimenta Women, as they always have, and trust always will, enjoy a com pliment, but the days of the flowery, long-winded effort have passed, let us hope for good. The unobtrusive, subtle compliment, the direct candid praise, or the left- handed, "Not so bad, old girl.” if said with due ayo action, give just as mach pleasure."
Chivalry Displaced.
And what do the women think?' Has modern' candour killed "chivalry" To a certain extent, yes. And over this women, though they will not always show it, feel aggrieved How they still hate to see a man talking to a girl with his hat on, with a cigarette in his I any, old thing, your com-mouth, and yet it is not uncommon. plexion seems to have slipped a Women, no matter how modern, re- little this morning," I heard a sent this. young man say to a girl recently.

They still appreciate, and expect

hundred and one other such mat- tera, which are only really good. manners, And yet some of the hail fellow-well-met type will not insist on them or show appreciation for them.
Yes, modarn candour,"
openness of heart," by all means, but do not let us lose manners. Do not let chivalry die in a boorish frankness about equality of sexes. It is up to women to see that it does not. The matter is in their hands.
MEN AND INTELLIGENT
WIVES.
Not long ago I read an article by a well-known psychiatrist which set out to prove that men prefer "dumb doras" as wives to intel- ligent, well-informed women who have mental qualities equal to or exceeding their own.
I don't believe it.

The chicken is rather a flavour- less bird, and calls-if a chicken can call for help. Here is one way of helping it to be good. Cut off the meat of a chicken or a capon into seemly-sized fillets. Then dip each into a mixture made of the beaten yolks of a couple of eggs mixed with a goodish lot of baked breadcrumbs, four tablespoonfuls of grated Parmesan, touched up with red pepper and salt; ace that each fillet is well coated, and then fry deep in oil. Staw, in buttar. a breakfastcapful of tomato purée this through a fine sieve, and simmer and a chopped Spanish onion; push it in a quarter-of-a-pint of milk Put the Billets in a shallow dish, pour the sauce over them.
