Dyspepsia is not only one OF the most

guard and protect and supply the vital
organs with the proper amount OF nutri-

sufficient quantity Of blood supply for
all the organs. she very naturally cuts

like the hair and nails, so that the most
important organs. like the heart. lungs,

A Remedy for Freckles.

In June the festival maiden's fancy
turns to fears of freckles. A freckle is
q small thing, but it won't rub out
even with buttermilk, New England
housewives to the contrary notWith-
standing. Still there is a simple sppli-
cation which, If promptly used on the
first appearance of the fearSome
freckle, will generally drive 1t away.
A Brooklyn doctor has prescribed
the application for some years and
finds 1t more effective than anything
else which he has recommended in his
practice. Here it is: One dram muri-
attic acid, three gills rainwater, half
teaspoonful spirits Of lavender. Mix
thoroughly. Itshould be applied twice
the first day and then three times day
until the freckles disappear. At ris-
ing, before going to lunch and on
going to bed are the best times for sp-
plying. Exposure to sun and wind
should be avoided as much as possible,
and for some days a veil should be
worn by the ''pstient" when she is out
of doors. The mixture should be sp-
piled directly to the freckles with a
piece Of soft linen or with csmel's
hair pencil. A very tender skin may
at first be somewhat irritsted, in which
case an extra gill of rainwater should
be added and a little cold cream used
on retiring.

Some Don'ts as to Condolences.

Don't confde in anyone if you can
help It. If you can't, speak to some
one whose honor you have proved to
be above peddling stories of her friends
to enliVen her conversation.
Remember she who tells tales of
other women will presently tell tales of
you, and supply as little material as
possible.
Don't receive q confidence unless you
know your heart is deep enough, your
mind broad enough and your brain suf'
flciently steady to keep it honestly.
Don't be scrupulous about accepting
the charge of your friends diamonds
or her purse, while hesitsting not to
drop hints of her inner life, stories of
her private history, which were meant
for your ear only, all along your con-
Versation with men and women. Per.
hsps you think by this means to lessen
their regard for her; but don't forget
that you are chespening yourself at the
same time.
Do not feel there Is no obligation
where no promise Of silence has been
exscted. An implied confidence Is
ever the most binding to the upright

One Way of Resting.

Are you busy, worried woman who
comes home at night with temples throb-
bing and every muscle aching from ia
tigue? If SO, you often say to yourself:
~ am dead tired, and / haven't the ambi-
ton to dress or even comb my hair for
the evening" Then you lounge about,
and go to bed about o'clock with
your head still aching and your limbs
just as tired as when you came in. The
next time you feel that way just slip off
the waist of your gown, brush the hair
up on the top of your head, and bathe
the back of your neck with hot water.
When the pain is little relived, wash
your face with the same reviver and by
the time that is done you will feel like
brushing up bit, or we are very much
mistaken. The hot-water cure is quite
as efficacious taken externally as inter
nslly.-LadieS Home Companion.

A Good Word for Missionaries.

The Japan Mail, which is said to be
the best informed and most carefully
edited paper in the far East, had the
following to say in recent issue about
missions: "The missionaries lead the
most exemplary lives; devote themselves
to deeds Of charity; place their educa-
tional and medical skill at the free use of
the people; and exhibit, in the midst Of
sharp suffering and adversely, spirit of
patience and beneVolence such as ought
to enlist universal sympathy and respect.
It seems to us that the record is all in
their favor. Watching the question
closely for many years, we have failed to
discover any want of discretion on the
part of the missionaries, unless it be an
occasional display of unwise confidence
in sending unprotected women into the
interior"
