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 woman's face is expressive
she is healthy, wealthy, happy or sickly
than pleasant face and this is something
al 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-
ditions incident to her sex. But back of this
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
nomore than is bestowed upon her fine laces,
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.

troubles set in. 1 had very little appetite,

JACK AND HIS WILL.
A Special Act of the British Par1in-
ment Arranges That Matter.

A Special Act of the British Parlin-
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 a sailor likes to make his will On
shore, any one can witness it for him,
but Oh 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 II
action and 81 man was to be strucs
down who had not previously made q
will, if he had to do so before he died,
even if it We're not attested by an Off
Ger, the admiralty has full power t.
act on the merits of the case and to dis
pense with that Or any ether formality
that IT was is.8! ,a.thlr }g4 CuEllly WITT.
Another thing-a sailor SHARES v'ivil d
soldier the privilege of when ON active
service being the only man who can
dispense with q 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 a ship or regi
ment goes into action there is no more
pathetic sight than to see the men,
young and old, laboriously writing thei1
wills in case tomorrow should be theil
last day in this world, and what will

PEOPLE WHO GAMBLE.
Chinese and Italians Especially Ad

Chinese and Italians Especially Adj
dicted to Games of Chance.
Of all the nations of the earth who
gamble they all do it more or less
the Chinese come in an easy first.
Superstition and the gambling mania
go in double harness, and while the
mandarins fly kites to decide what

BILE for dear life to pass the time away.
'The Chinese play night and day, "
says traveller, "till they have lost all
they are worth, and then they usually
go and hang themselves, from which
it would appear that the yellow danger
is not so formidable after all.
The Chinese laborers in the United
States squander their earnings in a
game called "white pigeons ticket. "
White, by the way, is the unlucky color
for the gamer and the lucky one for
the keeper of the gaming house. These
gentry keep orange peel in box, be-
ieving that it will bring them luck.
The Italians are no less superstitious,
and they gamble persistently, the poor
people especially, in the government
lotteries. Everything has number; a
cat, dog, gondola, and the "Libro
del Sogno''-the lotto players oracle

which has always been stronghold of

ton of the winning figures from the
Campanile Of st. Mark s-the silent,
eager crowd gathered in the square and
the group of officials gathered round
the boy with the bandaged eyes who
draws the numbers from the cage.
There is d story told in Venice of a
mailman who hailed a gondolier from
the window of the madhouse on the is
land to tell him the numbers he had
dreamed. The man put his money on
them and won, and from that day to
this the gondoliers go near the window
as they pass in the hope that the mad
man will call again. The story is true

me three boxes Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills

II 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 a 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 DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are used.
These pills exert powerful influence in
restoring the system to its proper condition
They contain in 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.

body, which was reduced to skin and
bone, the foster parent came to the con-

Deeply grieved at his shortcoming,
he redoubled his efforts, determined tC
at least save the other two. 1t was not
long, however, before a second one died,
evidently Of the same malady. The good
man then resolved that, whatever the

IngrOwing 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 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-

berance is reduced until the edge of the,
nail can be seen, and cotton inserted
between it and the flesh beneath, when
