Her Complexion.

Made up compilations are on the in
crease in New York. The fashionable
or would be fashionable New Yorker
who does not today make up little is
q rare bird. A dab of rouge for evening
has never been considered criminal by
her, but she now uses it for daytime as
we'll. AS always happens when a habit
becomes more universal, much Of the
present make up is very badly done.
The few did it, as a rule, artistically,
but the many lay it on with a heavy
hand. Without wishing to go into the
ethics of make up it is safe to say this
the fact that so much Of it is done
badly is one reason why we object to
the increase.
One must always have sneaking ap-
probation of the story of the father who
when told that his daughter used rouge
called her to him and asked if it were
true.
"It is, replied the girl.
"For heavens sake" said the father,
Ego straight up stairs and wash it off. "
The girl did so and returned to her
father, who gave one glance at her col
orless cheeks.

p A Rush Night and Day,
SICK WELL--PACKERS
At the Battle of Santiago Were
All Heroes.
Their Heroic Efforts i'm Getting Am
munitiOn and RatiOns to the Front
Saved the Day.

P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 5,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 23d, says: eve all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no
time to see a doctor, for it was a
case of rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunl-
ton and rations, hut thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able
to keep at work and keep our
health; in fact, l sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medi-
cine was the indirect saviour of our
army, for if the packers had been
unable to work there would have
been no way of getting to the front.
There were no roads that a wagon
train could use. Ny comrade and
myself had the good fortune to lay
in a supply of this medicine for our
pack train before we left Tampa,
and I know in four cases it abso-
lutely saved life"
