Girls With Thin Arms.

Thin arms should be carefully con-
cealed. They have an impoverished
look that robs their owner of some of
her dignity. If the arms are unduly
long, as they occasionally are, the eff
feet may be neutralized by wearing
wide bands of black velvet fastened
with pretty buttons or clasps or
buckles. This reduces the apparent
length of the arms. Thin arms" says

authority on dress. denote bad health
and an enfeebled race" The best
remedy is to wash the arms with a
fine lather of soap at least twice day
and to dry them thoroughly and rub
them vigorously. This treatment
brings the pores into action and in
duces healthy condition of the skin.
Rubbing with a soft chamois leather
is excellent for the skin, giving it both
smoothness and gloss.-Mrs. Humphry

hard work by an experienced chemist.
Kid-ne-oids act gently, thoroughly,
quickly and directly on the kidneys,

will build up the system and restore
it's normal parts to their natural con-
ditiOn.

All the while the country has been

to carly on the work on his farm. She
has shrunk from even being mention

work to save, perishing men in numbers

Admiral Cervera was brought on board

been playing on the Furor only 900
yards eff. and Wainwright ordered the
full force of his battery turned upon
the latter. Every shot struck. Mean
while the Pluton ran on the rocks and
blew up. Seeing the calamity which
had overtaken her consort. the Furor
became desperate and dashed for the
Gloucester. Perhaps her aim was to
torpedo the plucky auxiliary, perhaps
TO pass her and get back to the harboT.
The fire of the Gloucester still rained on
the Furor, and, instead of making a
dash, she turned round and round in a
circle. her gearing disabled, her helm
fast Just then the belated New York
came along anxious to get in some work
on the Spanish and threw shot or two
into the used up Furor. Wainwright
hoisted the signal, "Enemy's vessels
destroyed" and the big battleship
steamed on to look for glory elsewhere.
From vengeance Wainwright turned to

Nothing like Bar-Ben has ever been
known before in the history of mod
ern remedies. The most complicated
and aggravated of cases, heretofore
considered incurable, yield instantly
to the wonderful curative properties
of this new discovery. Bar-Ben is as
different from anything and every
thing else as day is from night. The
effects differ from the effects of other
so-called sexual remedies, in that it
is not a stimulant, but a BLOOD,

creates solid flesh, muscle and
strength, and infuses new vigOr and
vitality into the weak, nervous
broken-dOwn system, while its eff
fects are quickly apparent, and as as
tonishing as they are lasting. The
testimony of thousands of men and
women whom it has lifted from
helpless condition of long suffering,
tells the tale of the great discovery
more effectually than words can por-
tray.

proverbial and for two or three months

intense as is the struggle for life dur
ing the rest of the year.

The chief point in vacation is to

Elevators-Hoyv to Rest.
The Philippine war has made not
only Kansas heroes, but Kansas hero
ines too. While Funston and his
friends are fighting in the Philippines
their wives and sisters and sweet
hearts are proving their loyalty to love
and country in novel and most re-
markable way.
They have taken the place of the
men at the plow, on the harrow and
on the moving machine. Common as
field work is among the peasantry of
Europe, it has been almost unknown in
America till now.
The singular part of it is that these
women are not poor and they are not
used to work. They are women whose
husbands and brothers own the farms,
abandoned for the war.

$50 acre farm 10 miles south of Wich-

The Ten Drinking Habit.

The recent death of a man from too
much tea drinking has called forth re-
newed discussion of the tea habit, but
thus far the ground gone over is not
new, and the conclusions reached have
been attained before i'll these discus
sions. Tea properly brewed and
drunk not with meals, but mt time
when the system feels the need of
slight stimulant, is, to the normal indi-
The custom of o'clock tea is ra-

afternoon the system feels the strain

the case of person who is not in the
habit of taking tea regularly physi-

ter reviver OF temporary tonic than a
cup of freshly and well brewed tea. In
cold weather 1t will often tone up the
system at critical moment and ward
off cold. In hot weather cup of hot
tea is particularly beneficial. not only
for its reviving effects, but because it
induces relieving perspiration."
Iced tea the same physician con-
demns in strong terms because it is
rarely properly made. Most iced tea
consists of a strong decoction in which
the tannic acid is thoroughly released.
This is diluted with melted ice, over
sweetened with sugar and then made
usually too acid by strong flavOring
of lemon. 1t might even then be taken
in moderation, but it is usually gulped
down by the gobletful at luncheons

ness day. When it is carefully made

contrary is not wanting. The milk, it

When Baby outsrew His curIs.

There are many mothers whose
hearts will echo the feelings of the
Chicago mother who felt so bad when
the time came to cut off her baby
boys curls. She says:
His curls were beautiful, so golden
and shimmery, and loved every one
that fell about his pretty pink shoul-
ders. But he was growing up and he
hated the curls. as do all boys when
the other bigger ones tease them and
call them girls and babies and little
sisters. One morning he came to me.
his eyes bright and fiery with indigna-
ton and his cheeks aglOw. Some
playmate had chided him for his girl
ish hair, and he could endure it no
longer. He stood as firm as a rock,
with feet wide apart. and commanded
me to cut them off. This has hap
pened often of late since he has been
strutting about in his cunning little
trousers. His grief was real, and l.
/ felt sorry for him, as l did for my
self. l got out the big shears, and as
the first long, beautiful ringlet of spun
gold as fine as spider web fell into my
hands he gave little shrek of happi-
ness, while 1 felt the hot tears rolling
down my cheeks. -.
When the deed was done, he rushed
out of the door and down the street
as fast as his precious, fat little legs
could carry him, and l saw him
plump his fists in his absurd little
pockets as he stood-with the dignity
of a hero-before his tormentors. The
selfishness in my heart at losing my
baby made me almost forget his hap
piness, and as 1 went back to the,
curls the tears streamed faster than
before. My baby had gone from me
when those curls had dropped into my
hands. My little boy was there-and
a sweet, lovable, manly little fellow
he is, with strong small arms that
cling close about my neck-but he
isn't my baby any more. All my life
have laughed at the foolish mothers
who tried to keep their children from,
growing out of their babyhood and
baby ways-but / know now why this
