Spring M edicine

Your blood in Spring is almost certain to be full of impurities the accumuls- tion of the winter months. Bad ven- tilation of sleeping rooms, impure air in dwellings, factories and shops, over eating, heavy, improper foods, failure of the kidneys and liver properly to do extra work thus thrust upon them, are the prime causes of this condition. It is of the utmost importance that you

 Now, there are two ways of laying up money. One of these is to put it in stock and deposit it in bank and invest it on bond and mortgage The other way to lay up money is giving it away. He is the safest who makes both of these in- yestments. There are in this house men who if they lose every dollar they have in the world would be millionaires for eternity. They made ae spiritual in- vestment. But the man who devotes none of his gains to the cause of Christ and looks only for his own comfort and luxury is not safe, I care not how the money is invested He acts as the rose if it should say: "I will hold my breath and none shall have a snatch of fra grance from me until next week Then will set all the garden afioat with my aroma" Of course the rose, refusing to breathe, died But above all, lay up treasures in heaven They never depre- ciate in value. They never are at dis count They are always available. You may feel safe now with your s1, 900 or e2, 900 or $10 900 or $20, 900 income, but what will such an income be worth after you are dead? Others will get it Perhaps some of them will quarrel about it before you are buried They will be so impatient to get hold of the will they will think you should be buried one day sooner than you are buried They will be right glad when you are dead. They are only waiting for you to die. What then will all your earthly accumulations be worth?

ABATE IT.

"There has been much talk late
ly of petitioning the city council
to take some action to abate the
street sprinkling nuisance. When
the streets are wet at all they are
generally flooded, and there is al
ways enough dirt and filth on
the block paving to make travel
dangerous. 1t is no uncommon
sight to see horses slip and fall
on Commerce and Houston
streets, while it is not only un.
pleasant but EXTREMITY dangerous
for a bicyclist to ride through
the slush."

girls declare that they owe the length and
glossiness of their hair to this treatment,
which was stal Ad by their mother, when
they were little maids in pnafores. Once
month each head is washed clear of Dill
ness. The constant brushing makes the
secretion OF oil profuse. little borax is
dropped in a basin of warm water, and,
with the aid of the slightest touch of pure
castile-soap, the hair and scalp are
thoroughly lathered; then washed. 1t is
rinsed in a basin of plain tepid water. Two
or three rinsings are necessary, after which
the hair is dried by brisk tanning. Raise
if from the scalp bit by bit with the left
hand. while with fan welded briskly in
the right hand a current of wind is made,
which is strong enough to dry moisture.
After washing and drying, it is very
ternal help in the matter of OIL A sham
poo is liable to leave the scalp rather dry,
and for this reason after a thorough wash
ing one should take little vaseline-just
very little on the edge of the fnger-and
rub it carefully into the scalp. Then brush
the hair until it lies smooth and glossy on
the head.
Smuggling the hair has been much in vo-
que especially with ''bangs' it is thought
to be more successful than the usual hair

Remember that simple natural treat
ment is always the best. TONES and
washes should always be avoided, except,
OF course, those used by specialists to whom
the care of the hair is given. A clean scalp

constant-not spasmodic-care will accom-
plish wonders with a very ordinary head
