WHY She LOOKED YOUNG.
YOUTHFUL APPEARING WOMAN AT srxrv
YEARS OF AGE.

YEARS OF AGE.
How young she is at sixty"
heard lady make this remark In q stre.t
car recently, as she pointed out fine-look,n,
woman, with a bright, healthy complexion
good figure and brisk step, who had Just en-.
tered. also looked at her. She certain,v
seemed to be nearer forty than sixty I recoe.
nized her as the wife Of a weil-known New
York business man. and knowing that she n
always busly employed. was interested to dis.
cover the cause Of her wonderful health and
vigor.
Happening to mention the matter to a LADY
Of my acquaintance shortly after, she voun
teered the following explanation:
Mrs. r." she said. ''certany has splendid
health. and not long ago She told me the secret
of 1t. For years past, so she told me, she has
made 1t a practice to take little pure malt
stimulant with every meal She said that n
was owing to this that she had escaped the
many weak symptoms and miserable ailments
from which so many women suffer. She says
that whenever she feels tired and worn out.
little pure malt gives her new life and energy"
For the benefit Of ladies who may read these
words, may further add that discovered on
subsequent inquiry. that the lady above re-
ferred to uses and strongly recommends DufPy's
pure malt whskey as the safest and best OF ali
malt preparations. No other whiskey Ii like
It, and nothing can produce the same FOOD
effects.

information offer abou; Major Mckinieys APP
pointments the Cabinet. saying that at the pres
cnt time the President elect alone is an authority
upon the makeup of his official family.
Mckinley will appoint his own Cabinet said
Mr. Moore "He is not the kind of man who al
lows somebody else to do his work or MS thinking
for him. While he is listening TO advice and sug
gestions from all over the country, he is keeping

case. the following Democrats. whose terms then
expire would be replaced by Republicans, nancy

On the other hand. Senator Wilson, OF Wasnny
