"How to Be Beautiful" in Brief.

From the Evening World.
Do you want some sound suggestions on the
promotion and preservation of beauty? Well,
eat fruits three times a day; prefer vegetables,
eggs, and soups to meat and bread; drink water
IN wholesale quantities, but not one drop of ice
water; spend an hour at each meal, and if pos
sible take nap after dinner; make a medicine
of water for internal and external application
and use laughter as laxative. In olden times
tea and toast were prescribed for sick headache
and bilious attacks; now wise women drink hot
water for a day at intervals of two hours. Sleep
eight hours at night and as many hours during
the day as you can steal. When you want to
look your very best for a company or enter
sleep for an hour. If on presentation Lohen-
grin does not remark on your charming appear
ance it will be because you have outliyed his
liking. Pretty clothes are wonderfully refining,
too.

Through the efforts and hard work Of
the Board of Trades Railroad Com nlittee,
of which Mr.. J.. A. Brock is Chairman,
the authorities have decided to putn new
passenger train on the Columbia u Green
Vile Railroad between Newberry aud
Anderson. The new schedule will go
into effect next Monday, and the train
will run daily. except Sunday. The
train will leave Newberry at a. ln., con-
necting at Helena with the train from
Laurens. at Hodges with the train from
Abbcville, and at Belton with trains to
and from Greenville, arriving at Ander.
son about ll30 o'clock. Returning tho
train will leave Anderson at $50 p. m,
connecting at Belton with trains to and
from Greenville,. at Hodges with the Alb
beville train, and arriving at New berry
about 7.1O p. M, connecting there with
the train from Columbia to Laurens.
This is certainly another step forward for
our growing city, and at the same time the
new train will be great convenience to
the people all along the line be-
tween Newberry, Greenville and An
derson. Persons may come from any
point between Newberry and Greenville
and, spending four hours in Anderson,
return home the same evening. We pre-
dict for this train liberal patronage from
the public. The Committee has suggested
to the Railroad authorities to run the
train on to Seneca and there connect with
the North. bound train from Atlanta.
This would enable passenger to come
through from atlanta to any point ba-
tween Seneca and NoWberry without lay
ing over at Seneca, az under the present
schedule. The authorities have promised
to look into the suggestion, and, if possi'
BILE, arrange the connections at Seneca.
Had it. not been for the inconvenient con.
nections at Seneca, the Grand Lodge q
the A. o. u. w. would have met III An
