dren. The cobwebs would not have gath
cred in her brain and her physical love-
illness would have been preserved.
Scrupulous cleanliness will accomplish
much in the way of beauty. You all know
who have tried it that there is nothing in
the way of complexion beautitier equal
to the daily bath. Not only will it keep
the skin healthy and fresh, but it will
also develop the figure. The woman who
lives in the backwoods has little$time and
scarcely any opportunity for daily
plunge Consequently her compleXion
gets salloW and the skin falls into dis
tressing little lines long before it should.
A woman can make or mar her own
Ioveliness. She can, by an utter disregard
the few little arts of the toilet, lose en-
tirely that charm of face and form that
nature obviously intended should be hers

look with contempt upon the desire to
appear young and pretty, or consider it
a folly to keep her complexion soft and
lovely by the use Of harmless cos

a few drops of soothing lotion will trans
form a pair of rough. red hands into soft
white ones: that systematic care of the
complexion will keep ii smooth and ward
off wrinkles, and that an eagerness to
read clever books and to know things, and
a lively interest in the current events of
the day will brighten the eyes as nothing
else can. / say it without the fear of
contradiction that the woman who pos
sesses this knowledge is far more charm
ing and attractive than she in whose way
no beautifying whims have ever come
The woman who has this knowledge and
applies it is the one who will develop into
the beautiful, white-haired, interesting
grandmother of the next generation, as
dainty, as straight and as youthful as was
the mother of the past generation.

2 T really is remarkable the number of
young and pretty grandmothers that
one sees nowadays. The day was
when spectacles and knitting, silver
locks and little caps were the regula-
tlon setting for these dear, unselfsh ones
Of the earth. But. dear me. the grand

to theater parties as gayly and chat Of
shirt waists and tailor-mades as blitnely
as any young miss.
One does not have to use very strong
glasses or search very far to discover
the reason for this delightful state of af-
fairs. 1t is merely that women are
learning how TO avoid wrinkles and fee

IS no reason in the world why woman
should grow old before she is 100 at

The secret Of keeping young is to think

in those things that interest the youthful
folk about one and to keep UP ones in

A man can take twenty pounds off his

They are also drinking ale.
The man who wants to get in good

THE football players are now in
training. No man could step out
of the regular routine of everyday
life and suddenly live the life of
- an expert in training. The sudden
stoppage of all the luxuries which peo-

for his constitution. He would be
troubled with insomnia and would
break down. The stopping of bottle
of beer at night has been known to give
a man insomnia, and the giving up of

Two very prominent football players

the summer or until such time as they
are to go into training; and the work l
shall give them to do is Identical with
the work that should be taken by every
very healthy man who goes on a sum-

The safest rule for the man who in
tends to get in training and who hopes
at least to tone UP his system is to be-

three minutes more. The window should
be wide open to give him plenty of good

lowed he will have a fine appetite for
breakfast.

o'clock the two long tables were set; the
dinner was all ready. Because Coach
