When Tired and Aching.

IL mas Deen a lara DAY, ana the Tired lines
in your face show it. The muscles of the
face have lost their firmness, and the ines
about cheeks and mouth and eyes droop
YEARLY. You look 10 years older han you
know you are, and you feel sadder thanyou
know you have a right to be. Worse than
all, a sharp pain shoots from the left tenn
pie over the forehead and down the sides of
the face. You know that means a nervous
headache and a night of agony unless some
thing is done quickly.
Try this: Slip off your bodice and bare
your neck. Twist your hair into a loose
knot on IT," top of your head. Then take
a sponge and a basin of hot water-just as
hot as you can bear it. Pass the hot, wet
sponge slowly and steadily over the face
and forehead for eight or ten minutes, keep
ing the sponge as hot as it can be borne.
BY that time your face will look and feel
as if it were parboiled. But do not worry.
Then bathe the back of the neck as You
have done the face, carrying the sponge
each time we'll up the back of the head.
Keep this up for some length of time.
Then, without looking at yourself in the
glass-because that would be sure to dis
quiet you-dry your face and neck softly
and go and lie down fat on YOU back.

important part of the cure.
Lie there for halfs an hour, if you don't
fall asleep, as you probably will. Then get
up and take the deferred look in the glass.
That tired look has gone. the muscles have
regained their tone. the wrinkles nave dis
appeared. You look like your younger SIS
ter. Best Of all, the darling pain in the
head and the pessimism of the soul nave
left you.-Philadelphia Times.
When Baby Cries.
II 1t be true, as we are assured by the
best recognized authorities. that there is
nothing in the world without it's uses, and
that everything must be used if it is eX-
pected to develop properly, then the crying
of babies strengthens their lungs and
makes them grow and thereby fills an inn
portant place in infant economy. .Experi-
enced physicians say that it does a child no
harm to cry a little. Some children cry as
naturally as they run and roll and kick
around after they have grown older.
A case in point was that of a child about
B months old, who had a habit of crying in
sort of low, moaning, pathetic fashion
that to a stranger seemed most pitiful. Its
mother was in a constant state of anxiety
