BEAUTY.
How TO Increase in Weight and Otherwise
improve Ones Personal Appearance.

Every normally constituted man and woman
wants to look we'll. This is natural and right.
We have little sympathy for those people VII o
through Incidence or gluttonv have permitted
themselves to take on too much flesh. Thew
know that by living abstemiously and taking
p enty of exercise they can get back to their
normal weight.
We do however have great deal CT sympa-
thy for those poor, pale. thin sufferers who
either have TO appetite or .lse whose food
distres.es them to such q degree that they
are forced to live on a most frugal diet.
Their trouble arises from the fact that they
are unable to digest sufficient food and when
the stomach is out Of order and fails to do its
proper work, foods are worse than useless.
They Simply ferment in the stomach and fill
the system with poisonous principles.
What these people need is something that
will digest their food after it has been eatep,
and it is in Just such cases that the Digestive
Cordial as made by the Mount Lebanon
Shakers,is proving remar kably successful.
1t is so prompt in its action that a sense of
relief almost Immediately follows the first
dose, and rapid increase in weight is soon
noted.
The Shakers have issued an interesting
pamphlet which may be obtained upon in

You can keep flowers for many days in a

them with the hand is enough You see,
plant, it keeps on growing, and the faster
it grows the sooner it will fade, because,
alas, fading begins directly growing ends.
so you must not too greatly encourage the

will do this if you keep it always in water.

To Telephone to the Moon.

An electrician has expressed his belle,
that telephoning to the moon is within tn,
bounds of possibility. He argues that the
ether which binds the planets togethe:
with an iron hand is, while firm and solid.
infinitely elastic, an ideal medium for the
transmission of vibrations. The vibrations
which constitute light come to us from tie
sun in eight minutes, travelling at the rat'

contains its proportionate amount of iron.
and therefore the theory is advanced thai
if we can send electrical pulsations to the
moon we can make things hum on it,

Such an experiment would involve "the
use of a gigantic coil, mounted vertically,
with its axis in line with the moon.' The
protector of the scheme adds: "If lives ex.

a promising fashion last July, during the
first week of the grand circuit at Sagi-

When asked to beat her new mark at
Chicago later in August, the tall filly

of that month Fantasy had redeemed hel
