APPLES FOR Ibe COMPLEXION

The secret OF bad complexion Is often
q bad digestion, and We frequently trace
that to an inactive liver. Dieting is the
most valuable means Of cure, and one OF
the best remedies for sluggish liver IL
cheap and pleasant. The best liver reg
ulstor for people OF sedentary habits
aud those are chiefly the ones whose
compilations are muddy,-is to be found
in apples, eaten baked II they are not
well digested when eaten raw. A physi-
clan once told me that he attended the
pupils Of well known boarding school,
and among them was q country girl
whose complexion was the envy OF all
her associates. He found that she Was
a very light eater at her meals, but that
she hsd q peculiar custom OF taking n
plate Of apples to her little study in the
evening. and eating them slowly as she
prepared her lessons. This was her
regular practice. Some Of the other
girls in the school took II up, and the
doctor stated that, as n result OF his per-

spple-eating girls had the best complex

POOP WHISKY CAUSES INSANITY.
Politicians Explain Why There IsSo Many
Crazy kansans.

NidEJ NdUSdHS,
Topeka, Kan, Jan % insanity
Is on an alarming increase 10 Kansas.
There are no less than tenbills in
the Legislature providing or the
maintenance OF additional state
insane asylums, and in addition the
state treasury pays each year to the
the various counties more than
$4,000 for the care of destitute
insane persons for whom thee is no
room in the oVercrowded stab char
liable institutions
This alarming condition is causing
no small amount of specuAtion as
to the probable cause. A goup of
we'll known politicians were liscuss-
log the matter to day and hey all
agreed that the rotten guilty of
whisky imported into Kanas was
responsible for wrecking mop minds
than any other cause. Liquor too
vile for a copper-lined stomach and
strong enough to burn a hole
through solid plank is distilled
especially for the Kansas tade and
palmed off on the JayhawIrs at an
exorbitaut profit. 1t was agreed
that this squirrel whisky ad other
well known brands of hnglefoot
make more crazy drunkads each
month, who eventually become pub
lie wards, than reputable quality
of whisky, sold uuder reasonable
restrictions, would ptodme in ten
years.
Two state insane asyl,ms and
probably a third one, together with
1900 insane persons maintained at
state expense outside of thessylumE;
this is one of the beauties of prohi-
bition that the Temperance union
does not exploit to great extent.

BAD LUCK FOR BURGLARS.
BROOKLYN Thieves Overlook None.
Bag Containing $4,000

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Burglars who did
a comparatively neat job in Brooklyn on
Saturday will shed tears of disappointment
when they learn that they overlooked more
than $4,000 in cash put up in a bag handy
TO carry, and it was not necessary to break
into safe to get it.
Joseph Booler, wholesale dealer in
novelties, took the bag of money to his
residence, So Saratoga Avenue, on Friday
evening. He had sold large quantities OF
Dewey badges etc, to retailers for cash.
The banks were closed, and as one of the
offices in the building in which he does
business was robbed recently he was afraid
to leave the money there until Monday
morning When he reached home he tosse
the bag into the sideboard and turned the
key but left ii in the lock.
Early Saturday morning the family went
10 New York to see the Dewey parade
leaving a Yorkshire terrier to take care OF
the house. They reached home at 1880 p
m. As soon as they entered they saw
thieves had been at work. Every room had
been ransacked, drawers emptied upon the
fcor. closets broken open. and all over the
first floor was a trail of blood
sir Booler, without any hope OF finding
his $4,000. rushed to the sideboard and
threw open the door, The bag was safe
II it had been disturbed at all by the
thieves it would have been carried Off as
in addition TO bills, there were a number
OF gold and silver coins in it which would
have clinked if it had been moved Then
the blood stains were Investigated. In the
laundry was found the dead body OF the
Yorkshire terrier. Its throat had been cut
with a chisel, which was left lying on the
dining-room table.
The burglars had entered the house from
a vacant lot, where it was easy of access
They secured $6S in cash. a collection oil
coins valued at $500, and $500 worth of Jew
elry belonging to the family. Much OF this
had been left at home for fear the wearers
would be robbed in the crowds gathered
to see the parade.
Brooklyn police and detectives have but
one clew, and that was furnished by tbs
faithful terrier. The dog died with piecs
of blue serge between his teeth, undoubt-
edly torn from the clothing of one of ths
thieves.
