A LOVELY FACE.
Beauty is the Greatest Power
of Attraction.
Women Recognize It; Men Bow Before Its
Shrine.
The Secret of Good Looks Disclosed.
How to Look Your Best.

Never was there time when women did
not try to make themselves beautiful. What
is so lovely as a round, rosy face white fore
head and full red lips; what so annoying as
the black-heads and pimples on the face.
with the dirty, greasy look which always ac-
companies them. Life is not worth living.
the ysung girl thinks, because of the bad.
unpleasant look of her skin which she tries
in vain to improve by the use of various
cosmetics, ointmcnts and powders, not know
ing that all the while the trouble is not in
the skin itself, but in the system. 1t is
sometimes absolutely dangerous to use out
side applications, for if the skin is simply
cleared the disease is likely to attack some
internal organ of the body, where it may
prove fatal to life itself But in purifying
the blood, the cure is natural, permanent
and without any injury.
Miss Alice Hopkins, who resides at G32
South Tenth St, Philadelphia, Pa. was nm
happy because of her unsightly face ana
writes an interesting letter on this subject.
She says: DR.. Greenes Nervura blood

very worst forms Of dyspepsia Words can

peared entirely, and a horrible saffron yellow
took its place. You can imagine my feelings

Il knew / was getting worse day by day,
and soon lost all heart. Everything irri-
tated me, and | was in a state of most in
tense nervousness. | took to my bed and
did not leave it for several weeks. | firmly
believe | never should have risen from my
bed again had it not been for the relief l OBJ
tained from DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. When | look back upon nv
condition then, it seems positively miracu-
lous that any medicine could have worked
such prompt and effective cure
THE first benefit | felt from DR.. Greene's
medicine was general toning up of the
system. After the first bottle | was able to
hold light, nutritious food ON my stomach
The constant feeling of dull pain in the
region of the stomach, grew daily less and
my blood seemed to circulate more rapidly
was filled with a new life and hope.
The effect of Neryura on my complexion
was most satisfactory. The yellow tinge
gradually disappeared, and in a few weeks
the natural color began to return to my
cheeks ] was charmed with Dr. Greene's
Neryura and | continued taking it until /
was entirely well and strong. OF course |
was highly cOmplimented on my greatly inn
proved condition, but always assured my
friends that my restoration to health was en-
tirely due to DR.. Greene's Nervur, the Won
derful blood and nerve medicine. My COM
plexion is clear and healthy and at night
sleep as soundly as a child"
1t is letters like these which prove the
wonderful power of DR.. Greene's Nervura
the great blood and nerve remedy. By the
use Of this marvellous medicine the system is
cleansed, giving clear and healthy bloom,
and freeing the complexion from blotches
and pimples. 1t is natures own remedy, a
purely vegetable and perfectly harmless com
pound, the discovery of the celebrated ply
sician, DR.. Greene, of 35 West l4th St., New
York City, who can always be consulted free
Of charge either personally or by letter.

SUFFERING OFF THE MAINE COAST.
Hundreds of Fishermen on Outlying Islands
on Tie VERGE of starvation.

Hundreds of Fishermen on Outlying Islands
on the Verge of Starvation.
Hundreds Of fishermen are on the
verge Of starvation and suffering for the
want of proper clothing within 90 miles
of Portland. There are hundreds of
islands in Casco bay and scattered along
the coast between Portland and the
Kennebec river. These are for the
most part inhabited by fishermen who
depend entirely upon their nets and
SCENES for food. During the past few
weeks these people have not been able to
set any nets on account of the frequent
and severe storms which have swept the
coast. The fishermen live out of the
line of coasters and are visited only at
infrequent intervals by fishing smacks
and summer visitors.
Malaga island, where most of the suf-
fering is found, is situated about a mile
and half from the mainlaSld and is
perhaps three miles in circumference.
Upon this island are three huts built of
logs and mud, and these huts are crowd.
ed with 35 to 40 people. They were Wis
tied by the crew of fishing smack
which was obliged to seek shelter from
the storm behind the island. The story
as told by one of the crew here shows
that unless help arrives to these people
soon they will starye to death. When
the smack was seen nearing the islands,
the half starved people rushed down to
the beach and set up howl of joy. They
were barefooted for the most part and
poorly clothed at the best. Some of the
women were almost nude, and several
children have died from exposure and
want of proper food. The huts are said
to be in a filthy condition and afford but
scant shelter from the bitter cold.
The smack had but little food on
board, having made poor haul of fish.
The crew gave the islanders such food as
they could spare and almost robbed
themselves of clothing to assist the i'll
clothed beings. The men on the island
say that they were not able to obtain
enough fish this fall to provide them
selves with supplies for the winter, and
when the storms prevented their setting
their nets they were left without food.
The coast at this point is thinly set
tied with fishermen, who are reported to
be in almost as bad condition as the
islanders. Yarmouth, Bear and Basket
islanders are said to be as badly off as
the Malaga islanders. Portland Cor.

OUIDA.

print words She began her literary ca
reer early in her teens by writing short
stories for the English magazines and was
we'll satisfied with So page,
Her first novel was written at the age
of 90 years and was such a success finan-
ciallv that the young author soon found
her work in great demand. She received
So, 600 for her first novel, and it is said
that she has been paid from ST. 600 to
$15 600 for each of the numerous novels
she has since published Her prolific pen
has turned out 35 or 40 novels in the last
quarter of a century, the magazines have
printed scores of shorter articles, and 1t Is
declared that she has made at least $3.50, 600
as a writer
Her stories are artificial, sensational,
improbable and hardly the best sort of lit
erature for the young person to peruse,
fact that doubtless explains why the young
person reads so many of them
The stories of Ouida's eccentricities
would fill a volume. She takes particular
delight in snubbing people of note and in
variably outrages the feelings of the lion
hunters who endeavOr to do her homage.
She has been in love once or twice, but
has never married. She Overdresses shock
ingly, has but few friends to whom she is
devoted, never retralnS from nelplng the
needy when she has money and Furnishes
her enemies by putting them in her books.
For 20 years she has lived in Florence,
where she for q time entertained laVlshly.
In 1888 London society attempted to lion
ize her, but her rude conduct and cutting
remarks, it is said, soon cooled the enthu-
siasm of the Mrs. Leo Hunters.
Ouida admires cutting remarks even
when they are addressed to herself. She
once endeavored to snub bright Amer
lean woman by declaring that she could
not bear people from the United States.
Il don't know why you dislike Americans
so, 4" the American woman retorted, for
they are the only people that read your
nasty books!' Ouida was charmed to be
thus paid in her own coin and at once dis
played unusual interest in her sarcastic
visitor.
