Of the diet, by the proper use of the

One Of the most vexing of thc enc

liable to degenerate into ugly-looking
white pimples, by no means endowed

Is the general belief concerning them.
They are simply the result OF unclean-
illness, for the oily matter exuded by the

When blaclklaeads have once been
permitted to form it is quite Il difficult
matter to get rid of them. Many ap-

soda dissolved in hot water, borax

skin on retiring to bed, pure alcohol,
ETC., but, besides being irritating to
the tissues, all these substances are only
successful for a brief period, and when
too often repeated are worse than the
evil they are supposed to cure.
The only way OF getting permanently
rid of blacltheads is to thoroughly wash

Girls Make q Oueer.Piedxe.

IA curious pledge was taken by a lot
Of San Francisco girls at the instige-
ton Of their pastor, DR.. Martin" said
a young woman yesterday. Last week
he delivered a lecture to young women
only The majority of persons when
they saw the dainty badges pinned on
the shoulders of the girls were very
much surprised when they learned the
import. They had signed q vow. a
unique one, contrivcd by DIR. Martin,
that not one of them would ever hold a
secret engagement or receive atten-
tions from any man that their parenta
did not approve; that, come what may,
nothing could ever induce them to
break the VOW they SO solemnly made.
The thing was thought to be joke OF
first, but on inquiry I found that the
young women have thus far pledged
themselves. I do not think the idea has
spread eastward yet, but it has caused
a deal of gossip on the Pacific SLOPE

sunny window. Such hanging gardens
are cipa BILE of affording n great deal of

Simple Remedy for Earache.

II am afraid 1have grent1y interfercd
with my own practice said a celebrat-
ed aurist. "by giving the following ad-
viee-to many OF my friends. AT the
first symptoms of earache let the pa
tient lie on the bed with the painful
car upper1nost. Fold n thick towel
and tuck it around the neck; then with
Il teaspoon fill the ear with warm
water. Continue doing this for fifteen
or twenty minutes; the water will fill
the car oriflce, and flow over on the
towel. Afterward turn over the head,
let the water run out, and plug the ear
with warm glycerine and cotton. This
may be done every hour until relief is
obtained. 1t is an almost invariable
cure, and has saved many cases of
acute inflammation. The water should
DO quite warm, but not too hot
