The Becoming sunbonnet.

The sunbonnet, long neglected
and even scorned by maids with a
desire to be up to date and never to
appear old-fashioned, has put III its
appearance again, and is right well
come.
Seldom is a pretty face made pref.
tier by sunburn. The athletic girl
may be as athletic as she pleases,
but she has learned that indiffer-
ence to the complexion does not add
to her charms.
Three accompanying sketches
illustrate pretty models for sunbon-
nets, for morning or afternoon wear,
for the summer girl dotes on sun
bonnet so prettily fashioned that she
may wear it with a dainty afternoon
lrock when she plays croqnet or sits
on the open and sunny piazza.
1t is the fashion to garden, and
every woman with patch of ground
about her dwelling is to be found
early in the morning, with sunbon-

A SIMPLE HEALTH AGENT.

Drink Plenty of Water Is Physicians
Advice to Women.
A lady whose failing health was
matter of extreme uueasiness to her
family yielded to their entreaties
last January and sought out the
family physician. He examined her
thoroughly, and asked all sorts of
unpleasant questions of her habits,
and finally said: You don't drink
enough water" Well, she listened
to what he had to say on the matter,
and without the least faith in his
advice, she promised to do his bid
ding.
From two to four quarts of water
each day was his command, and
that to a woman who rarely drank
more than pint was a hard task.
However, she had set out in quest
of health, and if it could be found in
20 simple a remedy as water it was
hers at any cost whatever. In vari
Gus ways she managed to get away
with the requisite quantity, and in
less than week marked improve
ment rewarded her efforts. To-day
she has no need of a physian's ser
vices, and she does not expect to
have as long as she faithfully swal
lows her three and four quarts of
water each day.
1t is little strange that the thing
which has made Poland Springs and
other resorts famous has never been
applied to everyday life. The inva-
lids who visit those places drink all
the water they can hold and think
the good results come from some of
its properties. Sheer nonsense! 1t
is simply very pure water taken in
such quantities as to cleanse the
whole system and flood every organ.
Besides its cleansing properties, wa
ter absorbs effete matter aud carries
it through the system, and the purer
the water the greater its power OF
absorption. Diseases of the kidneys
yield 20 its power, and liver and
stomach troubles cease to exist.
Even rheumatism, local heart troub
les, indigestion and the numerous
other annoying ills of the flesh due
to impeded circulation disappear be-
fore the resistless power Of plenty OF
water,-Philadelphia Inquirer.

THE GIRLS ALLOWANCE.

1t Is Her Right, and 1t Teaches Her the

refuses to give his wife regular

exception. But there are still too
many fathers who withhold an

Bathtub FiNings

There is any amount of parapher-
MALTA which goes with IA modern
bathtub. There are soap dishes
galore, of all kinds and descriptions
and of all kinds of earthenware or
metal, made to hang inside from the
edge of the modern sanitary tub and
movable, to be arranged to suit the
convenience of the individual
bather. A short hose, which, with
sprinkler for spraying, will cost
about 81, the up.tO-date bather is
sure to have, and besides towel
racks of various kinds there are
, bathtub seats, which hang from the
sides of the tub. A straight board
seat which goes across the tub a
! foot or so below the top, will cost in
a department store about 50, and a
round wooden seat which is hung
from one side only, costs something
less. The hygienic woman always
pays a visit to the shop bathtub &c

which she has not, but ought to

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
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
mai condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces. We will
