PLEASANT FEATURES ADD TO HER ATTRACTIONS
This is Something all Women Can Have or Easily Acquire
Simple Rules to Observe.
From the Herald, New Hampton, No.

The look in a woman's face is expressive
OF what she is. One can easily tell whether
she is healthy, wealthy, happy or sickly.
than pleasant face and this is something
ali can have or easily acquire, It's simply
obtained by cleanliness, air, light, diet, exer-
else.
Many woman is continually cross, mo.
rose, weak, nervous, ailing; made so by the
exactions of household cares, or the condi-
and the cause of all the trouble, will be
found that the system is out of order; the
blood needs toning up. When this is done
there follows, buoyancy of feeling, and a
merry household.
charms requires care and common sense, but
bric-a-brac, etc. The good wife keeps the
silver from tarnish, but ,neglects herself;
Every woman desires to be a "picture of
health" and she can be, for it is only mat
ter of health, rather than regular features or
perfect proportions, for without the vitality
of good spirits which good health denotes, no
woman is charming.
Many woman is regretfully watching the
growing pallor of her cheeks, the coming
wrinkles, the thinness that becomes more
distressing every day. The best way to over
come this and acquire the pleasant look in a
woman's face is expressed in the following
story told by Mrs. A. Fox, an esteemed resi-
dent of New Hampton, Mo.
Three years ago last April" she says, "I
had stomach trouble and afterwards female
troubles set in. 1 had very little appetite,
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1899-02-09

could not eat meats Of any kind, and but few
vegetables. ~
II had severe backaches and was greatly
debilitated. Having no strength my nervous
system became so affected that I had net
vous prostration. My kidneys did not act right
and, in fact, my system was out Of order and
I became seriously i'll.
~ tried two or three doctors without re-
ceiving any benefit. At last I went to DR..
r. d. King, of Bethany, Mo-, and he gave
me three boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. took two boxes of the pills
and Immediately began to grow in strength,
the stomach trouble became much BETTER the
color came to my cheeks, and in every re-
spect I was considerably better. In three
months I could eat anything wanted, and
had good appetite.
~ would say that Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are the best remedy for
women to take during the turn of life to keep
them in health and to pass that age in safety"
When woman is passing beyond that age it
is crisis in her life. Then, if ever, proper
attention to hygiene should be exercised.
The attendant sufferings will disappear and
buoyant health will follow, if Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are used.
These pills exert a powerful influence in
restoring the system to its proper condition.
They contain in a condensed form all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood. Consequently many kinds
of diseases are cured, as nearly all, are the
result of an impoverished condition of the
blood. Druggists consider these pills to be
the most effective and best selling ones on the
market.

VORACIOUS LITTLE ROBINS.

Each Required Fourteen Yards of
Angleworms Every Day
A would be philanthropist relates his
experiences trying to play mother to a
nest of little robins, which had by some
accident been deprived Of their rightful
mothers care. He diligently set to
work digging angleworms, and sup
posed that he was fulfilling his whole
duty, when one of the poor little songs
tiers died. Upon examination of the
body, which was reduced to skin and
bone, the foster parent came to the con-
clusion that it must have died of starv-
alton.
Deeply grieved at his shortcoming
he redoubled his efforts determined to
long, however before a second one died,
evidently of the same malady. The good
man then resolved that, whatever the
third one died Of, it should not be
starvation, and took off his coat and
went to work in earnest. He kept on
with the angleworm diet until he found
that his one little bird was consuming
from IL to 10 yards OF angleWOrmS a
day. This was too much for his pa
tiencs, aasd he proceeded to substitute

Wanting to discover whether he had
been catering to family of abnormal
appetites, our friend took to watching
the methods of real mother bird and
found that she fed her young every two
minutes. He then consulted the learned
books upon birds and discovered that
IA yards of worms a day, with meals
every two minutes, is the average rate
of feeding fedgelings. He has therefore
decided that he does not care to take
up raising birds by hand as business.

IuErOWinC Nails.

To prevent an ingrowing nail strip
of cotton should be worked between the
nail and the flesh, left large enough to
cover the entire nail A piece of cotton
is then twisted into a long roll and
placed on the other side of the nail
groove over the sound skin. The space.
between is filled with lead nitrate,
heaped up, and the larger piece of cot
ton folded over it, with more cotton
outside, held in place with a moist
bandage. This dressing is renewed ev-
cry day, and in two or three the exu-
berance is reduced until the edge of the.
nail can be seen, and cotton inserted
between it and the flesh beneath, when
the nitrate cap be discontinued.

JACK AND HIS WILL.
A Special Act of the British Par1in-

A Special Act of the British Par1in-
ment Arranges That Matter.
Jack has the proud distinction Of
having had an act of parliament passed
for the express purpose Of deciding the
way in which he must make his will,
so that while all other Britons are
Jumped together in this matter under
the wills act of 1888 sailors testament
airy documents are made under the
naval wills act of 1866. The most i'm
portant proviso of this act is that all
wills made by sailors or marines must
be witnessed and attested by the chap
lain or some other officer if they are
actually made on board ship, and this
is somewhat curious.
If sailor likes to make his will on
shore, any one can witness it for him,
but on board ship the case is different.
Needless to say they almost all to a
man choose the latter course, as they
know that things will be straighter for
bearing an officers signature. If, how
ever, supposing that the vessel was in
action and q man was to be struck
down who had not previously made a
will, if he had to do SO before he died,
even if it Were not attested by an Off
Ger, the admiralty has full power to
act on the merits of the case and to dis
pense with that Or any other formality
that 1t waa imp ,aai!lle feS coElplY v'ie.2.
Another thing-a sailor SHARES with d
soldier the privilege of when on active
service being the only man who can
dispense with a written will and make
a verbal one.
In former times any one could make
his will verbally if he SO desired,
but this, as may be supposed, opened
the door to no end Of fraud, and it was
consequently repealed in the 1888 act,
except in the case mentioned above.
On the night before ship or regi-
ment goes into action there is no more
pathetic sight than to see the men,
young and old, laboriously writing their
wills in case tomorrow should be their
last day in this world, and what with
witnessing wills and making them on
the forms issued by the authorities fol-
those who cannot write-and this class
has now almost entirely disappeared
from both the navy and the army-the
officers have very busy time.-Lon-

Eamined a Ming.

Gel 5ral Oliver Roberts. who former
ly lived in Carson has the most blood
curdling tale ever written in the last
number OF the wide World" an
illustrated magazine published in New
York and Canada.
He tells where he went to examine
a mine in lnyo county and wa lowered
down a shaft in a bucket by two miners
working the windlass. The sickening
odor nearly killed him and finally the
bucket went through the bat stratifica-
ton, and just as he was beginning to
get over his awful experience with the
bats. he heard a Kissing noise about
a hundred feet down and discovered
that the timbers Of the shaft were
swarmlng with rattlesnakes. They
were all trying to get aboard the bucket
and get a ride to the next station.
The bucket kept lowering as he was
beating off the rattlers with a pick
handle. when he discovered that he
was being lowered into a stump hole
that contained rattlers by the thousand
and several feet deep.
Down and down, and still down he
went until a few feet further and he
would be landed In the midst of the
rattlers, when the bucket stopped low
ering just as he was getting ready to
climb the rope,
Then the ~rattlers got up on end and
spit venom at him. until his clothes
we're beginning to get wet from the
continual expectations Of the snakes.
1t appears that the mime was an
abandoned location, There had been
a shaft sunk 200 feet and a tunnel and
a tunnel run to the shaft. After the
mine was abandoned 1t became filled
with rattlefs and bats, which came in
by way Of the shaft. Then the tunnel
caved and the imprisoned rattlers
lived on the bats. This is how the
mine became such a, breeding place
for the vermins.
The rope he purchased was a 200
foot rope and the storekeeper who
sold it gave him a few feet short.
But for this Roberts would have
reached the bottom and been meat for
the reptiies.-Carson Appeal. ii
