Health and strength carry us through
dangers and make us safe in the pres.
ence of peril. A perfectly strong man
with rich, pure blood, has nothing to
fear from germs. He may breathe in
the bacilli of consumption with i'm
punity. If there is a weak spot where
the germs may find an entrance to the
tissues, then the trouble begins. Dis
ease germs propagate with lightning
like rapidity. Once in the blood, the
only way to get rid of them is TO kill
them. This is what DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is for. 1t purifies
the blood. That means that it Kills the
gems, but that is only part of what it
does. 1t assists digestion by stimulat-
ing the secretion of digestive fluids, so
promoting assimilation and nutrition
purities and enriches the blood and so
supplies the tissues with the food they
need. 1t builds up strong, healthy flesh

Sew way TO Mako MARBLE Cake.


A new and simple way of making
a good looking marble cake is to
make silver cake mixture, using
all whites and no nutmeg. Divide
this into two equal parts. Let one
part remain plain, placing it in the
cake tin, which You are supposed to
have ready papered, and level it.
The other part divide into three
equal parts. oiOalOr one part pink,
another yellow another brown, with
chocolates. Place these three colored
parts into three separate paper
cones, fold them up and cut the ends
off to leave an opening little over a
quarter of an inch in diameter. Take
pne of the cones, push the end into
the mixture in the tin and force out
the contents of the cone, moving it
about so as to traverse the whole
area of the plain part. When this
cone is used, take another and use
it in like manner, also the other and
last one. The cake is now ready to
bake.
When you cut this cake, says The
Bakers Helper, you will find that
this method gives a very superior
cake, as the different colors worked
in the.manner described give bet
ter effect as to marble appearance
than can be obtained by the old plan
of dropping in the different colors.

Up.to.pa,e Hairdres. ing.

Arranging the hair 10 give broad
effect to the head is particularly
fashionable just now. This style
goes we'll with the small toque that
will be much worn by the woman of
fashion from now till summertime.
For the street, the hair is worn
very low on the neck, while the
evening cioffure mounts just rs eX-
tremely high. The street couture is
very simple; the evening cOitfure is
very elaborate.
In London and Paris the net has
again been adopted, but the Ameri-
can woman has not yet confihed her
tresses in this way, though there are
some very pretty and original styles
in nets to catch her fancy. The
jeweled net has been talked of for
some time, and though not dis
played to any great extent, there are
evidences that the promoters of
fashion are looking forward to the
vogue Of the jeweled net.
Plain straight hair is decidedly
out of fashion. The hair may be
rolled back from the face, but every
bit of tits waved or puffed.

To Make and Serve Coffee.

1.-The most important point in
making good coffee is to use the wa
ter at the first appearance of boil
ing" writes Mrs. 5. 7. Rorer in The
Ladies Home Journal. IF it bois
but few minutes it parts with its
gases, becomes fiat and hard and
will make but an imperfect infusion
Avoid also water that has been
boiled and put aside on the stove
and reboiled at coffee making time.
See that the teakittle from which
you take your water is thoroughly
washed each morning, filled with
fresh cold water and brought quick
ly to nearly the boiling point. Put
the coffee and chicory in the upper
portion of the pot, allowing one
heaping tablespoonful of finely
ground coffee and teaspoonful of
chicory to each half pint of water.
Pour over it quickly the water, put
on the lid so that the aroma may
not escape, and soon as the water
drains through the blggin fill it
again, and so continue until you
have the desired quantity. Serve
Immediately from the same pot.
This coffee must not be on the stove
unless at the back part, where it
cannot boil. Serving coffee Is half
the battle. In winter have the cups
heated, fill them half full with
scaGded milk and pour in the freshly
made coffee. DOinot add cream if
you value yourhealth."

The Roman Scarf.

One of the most attractive neck
flXings of the moment is the Roman
scarf, about inches in width, a
yard and quarter long and finished
at the ends with deep, knotted
fringe.
This scarf goes twice about the
neck tying in a fourth hand. The
shops are showing them ready
made,n but no woman who is ele-
CANT in the small belongings of
dress is satisfied with any but the
scarf she ties herself. .
A close-fitting linen collar is but
, toned to the neck band, and the
scarf covers this completely, giving
the same appearance as the made
stuck. The Roman scarf will be the
regulation tie for wear with shirt
waists.
AS for Roman sashes, they are
flashing their rainbow tints on
every side. In all the leading
stores one finds them given the
place of honor among the ribbon
fancies.

proper ways to wear the Roman

skirt.
The prices of the Roman neck
ties range from $l.25 to $3.50, and of
the sashes from $500 to $500, &C.
cording to quality.
One of the richest sashes, so far as
color is concerned is of blue and
green with little lines of red and
white. Very pale tints are not to be
found among the Roman ribbons.

Don't Worry.
The faces of the women one
passes in the street form curious
and, too often, saddening story.
One woman purses up her lips, an
other screws her eyes into I'M
naturalness, while third will
wrinkle up her forehead and eye
brows until she looks absolutely
ugly. The trick is an unconscious
one, but it is none the less trick
and bad one. There is no reason
why woman should look forbid
ding and bad-tempered just because
she is annoyed about something.
Deep seated trouble has way OF
writing itself upon the face whether
we will or not. Sickness, too, has
its own handwriting, aud will not
be-concealed by art. But the frown
caused by superficial troubles should
not be entertained by the face for
an instant. We should strive to

sake of Others; corresponding

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION


OF the Tennessee State Sunday School
ASSOCIATION, to BE Held at Mem
phis, Feb. 22, 80, "a.
The twelfth annual convention of
the Tennessee State Sunday School
Association will be held in the
Second Presbyterian church, Mem
phis, Feb. %, 90 and "a.
The session of the forthcoming
convention will be the most mem
orable one within the history of the
State Sunday School Association.
Not only will the attendance of
delegates from all parts of the State
probably be larger than at any
previous meeting, bat the program
as arranged will doubtless be the
most attractive by reason ofthe fact
that so many well-known sunday
school workers from other States
will take part.
The Program.
President j. r. Pepper will preside.
The mayor of Memphis will welcome
to the city.
The pastor, N. NJ. Woods, d. D., will
wecome to the beautiful church.
S. p. Fowler, ESQ of Knoxville, the
president of the East Tennessee con-
vention, will respond.
DIR. j. l. Vance will deliver his great
address, "The Young Man Four
Square"
Field Worker G.. D. Meigs, of Indian
apolis, Ind, will have charge of several
topics OF great interest.
Mrs. Anna johnson Semelroth, aided
by numb ar of primary workers, will
conduct two primary conferences.
Rev. J. S Jones, the Knoxville
"Park hurst" will talk on the tenn
perance problem.
The devotional hours will be in
charge of Memphis pastors, and the
Holy Spirit will be the general theme.
Prof. II. NJ. Hamill, the prince of nor
NAL instructors, will give two normal
lessons at the CONVEX ton.
The officers and members of the
local Sunday schools are prepared
to maintain the reputation of Mem
phis as the leading convention city
of the South, and all delegates and
visitors will be treated with that
cordial hospitality for which the
Bluff City is so noted.
The music which will be rem.
dereG in connection with the various
meetings will be unusually fine.
The musical director for the DC
casion is Mr.. George Mahan. II Is
training special choir of $50 voices
to render the music throughout the
convention.
To Delegates.
All railroads interested have
agreed to rate of one and one-third
fares FOR the round trip, on the GER
tificate plan. Buy ticket to Mem
phis at regular fare, and get Ger
tificate from ticket agent that you
have done so, and said certificate
will be honored for one third fare
returning from Memphis.
This cheap rate will enable many
who might otherwise be unable to
do so to take advantage of the OPP
portunity thus afforded all Sunday
] school workers to meet in mutually
helpful conference.
ALso-ThOse who expect to at
tend the convention should send
their names at once to James Sloan,
Secretary, No. II, Cotton Exchange
Building, Memphis, so that enter
tainment may be provided for them
and notice given each one before
leaving home as to place of enter
| tainment.

Piece Barrel.

Somebody recommends piece
barrel in lieu of bag or basket to
hold these necessary remnants. Such
a receptacle takes up less room in
closet than either a bullying bag or a
large basket. The barrel should be
lined with some glazed cambria to
prevent the catching of materials on
the rather rough wood. To fit two
or three bags or deep pockets around
the rim of the barrel, to hold special
trimmings, braids, embroderies and
the like, is another good suggestion
in the plan.

OENTLEMEN:-lC mas DeCn the
custom for many years for the
mayor Of the city Of Ocala to
present an annual message to the
incoming city council, in which is
embodied the opinion Of the may
or as to the existing condition of
the affairs of the city, and make
such recommendations and give
such advice as he may deem best
for the bettcrmCnt of Ocala.
Upon a superficial observation |
do not find the city Indebtedness
very large, but | do find the g.
nances of the city in such a con-
ditiOn that your scrip is bearing
8 per cent. interest and at the
same time being discounted from
10 TO Is per cent. This may ap-
pear a queer financial proposition,
but IT is a fact known to every
citizen Of Ocala.
My recommendation on this
point is, that the present council
proceed at once to put the city
upon cash paying basis and
make your city government an
index of the honesty and integ-
rity of its people.
1t is fact that cannot be de-
MED or disguised that in the balmy
days when two national banks
flourished in Ocala, that these
banks controlled the politics and
the finances Of the city to such
an extent that the government of
the city was handled between
them like a shuttle cock, and the
people acquiesced while these
master financiers grew fat upon
discounted scrip, while they man.
aged to keep an excess floating
larger than the receipts from
taxes. These conditions do not
now exist, except with few
curbStOne imitatOrs of the bank
policy, and it now behoOveS this
council to correct this evil, and
ask the cooperation of the peo-
pie to assist them to put the f.
nances of the city in such shape
that all bills will be paid in cash
and become an honest govern
ment. that meets its obligations
ct par, and instead of paying 8
per cent. interest on scrip, issue
per cent. bonds and take up the
outstanding scrip of S14,o ,o56.,o,
and let it be made known that
Ocala is paying cash, and it will
soon rebound to the credit of our
city and investors will regard our
people and the business interests
Of this city in new and favora-
ble light, and when purchasing
supplies for the city, instead of 10
per cent. being added to the price
on account of deprecated scrip,
dealers will be eager to sell to
the city at rock bottom cash
prices. | think it advisa bic for
the council to ascertain at the
earliest possible moment who are
the holders of outstanding bonds
and have these bonds registered
in the clerks office for ready
reference, and since the sinking
fund for the payment Of these
bonds was apparently sunk in
the wreck of the Merchants Ma
tiOnal bank, it may be necessary
to make a new issue to take up
the old bonds. | would advise
the council to make a close inves-
tigation in these matters and pre-
pare an ordinance looking to the
bettermcnt Of our financial condi-
tion and present it to the people
for ratification at the polls at as
early a day as possible, consist
