Hale and Hearty

Is the condition in which every human
being was undoubtedly intended 20 be,
and whenever this is not the case there
must be something wrong. Probably in
a majority of cases the trouble is in the
blood, which has become impoverished
or impure by reason of hereditary scrof-
ula taints or from some other cause. In
case there is scrofula in the blood there
will frequently be eruptions of the skin,
though sometimes the disease assumes
different form. In fact, a very large
proportion of diseases are caused by this
inherited faint. That the cause is in the
blood is proved by the fact that scrofula,
salt rheum, rheumatism, catarrh. and
other like diseases are most readily
cured by purifying the blood. No medi-
cine has such a record of cures as
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and yet Hoods Sar-
saparilla is always advertised as blood
purifier. The way to keep hale and
hearty is to keep the blood pure, and II
it is not in condition of purity and vi
tally there is no better remedy that can
be used than this same great blood puri-
fer and strength builder, Hoods Sar-
SaDarilla

What constitutes beauty of complexion.
To the negro beautiful complexion con-
sists in ebony blackness. The Tartar
and Monaghan races of the polar regions
of America see beauty only i'll yellow
skins. The Indians admire a brown COM
plexion. Numbers of barbarous people
conceal the natural tint of their skins UNI
der a staining of many colors; others are
indelibly marked with a general tattoo
ing. The oGreenlanders paint their faces
with yellow and white. The Decanaises
stain themselves yellow and redden their
hands and feet. OF course, the white
people of America and Europe find the
greatest beauty in the white skins bright

p;anos tbat Catch Cold.

Half the pianos of this country catch
winter colds exactly as we do. They get
hoarse. or have a cough, or a stiff note,
or some similar complaint which cannot
be cured by home remedies, but which
requires tedious and expensive doctoring.
In order to prevent these avoidable all
ments "a piano should be kept in a mod
erately warm room. where the tempera-
ture is even, say 60 or 20 degrees, the
year round-not cold one day and hot the
next The instrument should not, how
ever. be too near the source of heat. It
should be kept closed, and covered with
a felt cloth when not in use, particularly
in frosty weather.
Always place the piano against an in
side wall, and little out from it.-An-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rumblins
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1T is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inf1amed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure

FED ON HORSE MEAT.
Residents of Los Angeles Ate Broncho
Steaks Instead of Beef

steaks Instead OF Beef.
Something of a sensation has been
caused in the residence parts of town re-
mote from the markets and where trav-
cling vendors of toothsome steaks and
roasts are regularly patronized, says a
Los Angeles dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, by the discovery Of the
board of health that much of the alleged
beef which has been sold for an indefn-
tie period is nothing else than the re-
mainders of Southern California bron-
chos after the period of usefulness of
those equine friends of man is past.
Health Officer Steddom today laid the
matter before the board of health and a
long and earnest discussion followed the
recital of the sensation by the health of
fcers. DIR. Steddom told how his in
spectors had first discovered that horses
were being butchered and sold as beef
in the city. He said that enough evil
dence had been accumulated to convince
the health office that horse flesh was
really being peddled about as beef, and
the industry is believed to be a large and
growing one, as bronchos are consider
ably cheaper than bovines in that part
of the country. The evidence, however,
was not of such nature as to admit OF
it's use in convicting the guilty persons
of the OffenSe.

ONE OF EGYPT's MYSTERIES.
"a Lake, Part of Which is Fresh and the
Other Part Very Salt.

"A Lake, Part Of Which is Fresh and the
Other Part Very Salt.
Turing the reign of Said Pasha a
ccauseWay was built across the lake of
Mareotls. with the result that the west
eFn portion of the lake became highly
lmpregnated with salt, while the east
ern part remained as formerly, only
shghtly brackish. Scientists are not sat
lsned as to the source of the immense
quantity OF salt contained in the lake,
ground passage from the sea. However,
there is no visible channel by which the
sea water might enter, and as one can
rlde all around it, it is, to all intents and
purposes, a lake.
Its length is about nine miles and it's
breadth four, and it furnishes the entire
salt supply for Egypt. A miniature
railway runs from the workshops to the
lake. where the salt is cut and the trucks
nlled by gangs of Bedouins, who, during
the season, are at work day and night.
At the workshops the salt is ground and
over the country.
10 the unconscious mind the main
charm of this lake is it's beauty. AS
one stands on the thick crust of salt
near the shore, which stretches as far
as the eye can see, one feels exactly
addition to the dazzling wilderness of the
salt. its beauty is enhanced by pink
tlnge, which at the edges of the lake
deepens to mauve. The cause of this
color is also a matter of conjecture, and
has been attributed to minute organisms
contained in the salt; whatever it's
origin, it fades as the salt becomes dry,
but while damp the effect of the i'm
prlsoned color is indescribably lovely.
To get an entirely different phase of
the sight one must ride over the cause
way. Here one has the ice field on the
right. and on the left the ripping blue
the lake is deeper and the salt crust has
not formed, the scenery changes. The
water has the still and heavy look of the
Dead sea, but, unlike the latter, which
looks like. molten brass, this milky lake,
with the clouds and the blue sky re-
Elected in it. might be likened to a vast
opal, and the setting sun, throwing
| fiery ball into its depths, completes the
similitude
To eyes accustomed to the soft and
varying tints of green in an English
landscape. the setting might seem UNI
worthy of this gem. for the surrounding
nils boast no verdure. But AFTER
short residence in this desert one learns
to admire the hills, in which all the
| sepia tones are blended, and when light
| calls to wind the western windows OF
Magdalen chapel.
This enchanting scene, however, is
evanescent. AS the salt is formed by
evaporation, it is only during the hot
summer months that this can take place,
and with the first autumn rain the pct

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
ali important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine art!-
c,e which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. 1t
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most SlxillfuL
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
