THE SECRET OF BEAUTY.

One Can Never BE Pleasant to Look Upon
Unless In Good Health.
"The most helpful and agreeable bath
is that of tepid water" writes Ruth
Ashmore in The Ladies' Home Journal.
"Few people can stand absolutely cold
baths, aud. no matter how strong one
may be, such bath should not be in.

taken afterward. To speak plainly, it
must be remembered that while a cold
bath may be more or less invigorating
it is not cleansing. can easily under
stand the desire of every woman to have
a clear, beautiful skin, but confess to
being provoked when think Of the
amount Of money spent ON lotions,
creams and powders to be applied ex-
ternally. and which have nothing like as
good an effect upon the skin as q tepid
bath with good soap taken at least once

The condition of the skin depends al
most entirely upon the care given to the
general health. The girl who is up late
at night, gives no care to her diet, in

have either dull, muddy looking skin
or one covered with disagreeable look

avoid many sweets and much pastry
and not allow herself to become q slave

stimulant., She should also remember
that unless she is in good condition in

pleasant object to look upon externally. {"

Miss Beatrix Hoyt is a nonpareil.
Yet woman, she has mans arm and
a mans clear eye. That stroke of hers
is an anatomical masterpiece, and some
day her "golf arm" will be immortal

We have three railroad commissioners

in while or oftener and take yearly
trip over the roads, etc. Certainly they
have much time to themselves.
We have suggestion. North Dakota
has two great staples to sell, grain and
cattle. These staples are mostly sold in
two Minnesota markets. The shipper
has to stand the grading aud laws and
rules of foreign state. Now lift were

We are the children of the morn,
Bred of it's dewy loan and wind;
Yet as we journey, glad or lorn,
We leave the morning far behind.
Before we ken our grievous loss.
Behold, the noon is zenith high!
And each one, with his care for cross,
Tolls on beneath the flaming sky.
Fleetly the golden hours decline,
With swift, sure lapsing of the light:
Along the west a crimson line,
The quiet eve, and then the night!
