A Wonlan's Face,
PLEASANT FEATURES ADD TO HER ATTRACTIONS
This is Something all Women Can Have or Easily Acquire Some
Simple Rules to Observe
From the Herald, New Hampton, Mo.

The look In woman's face is expressive
of what she is. One can easily tell whether
she is healthy, wealthy, happy or sickly.
Nothing adds more to a woman's attractions
than pleasant face and this is something
all 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
blood needs toning up. When this is done
there follows, buoyancy of feeling, and a
merry household.
The preservation of a woman's graces and
charms requires care and common sense, but
no more 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 "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.

LET THE FUTURE HAVE A
CHANCE.

The Review of Reviews writing be-
fore the treaty with Spain was ratified
by tee senate, upon the action of some
of the senator's who opposed its ratifca-
ton shows the foolishness of hurried
action regarding our future policy
toward the Philippines. Even now
after the treaty is ratified we believe
congress should go slow in the 'matter
of deciding what our future policy shall
be. 1t would.probably be best to let
the commission appointed by President
Mckinley, investigate the situation
there and report. The LReview of Re-
views says:
cit is very hard to be patient with
the type of man that that insists upon
settling problem frst'and examining
it afterward. Yet that is exactly the
attitude of those members of the Sen
ate who have been trying to amend the
treaty with Spain by lacking on to it a
declaration that we do not intend to
stay permanently in the Philippines.
Spain has simply given us quit-claim
deed. 1t was necessary for the best in
terests of every one that Spain should
be eliminated from the Philippine situa-
ton. Spain having thus been elininat-
ed by virtue of the agreement at Paris
and by virtue further of the concrete
fact of military evacuation, nothing
could be much more ridiculous than for
US to volunteer to make statements to
Spain concerning. Jour intentions for the
future. We do not know enough at the
present moment to declare to the world
our permanent policy. We owe some
duties to the next generation, and we
have no right to declare permanent
policies-in matters that must concern
the Americans of the next century
much more than they concern the men
now living without first having taken
the trouble to know what we are about.
There is present work to do; and the
problems of the future cannot be set
tied until they are reached"

debilitated. Having no strength my nervous

vous prostration. My kidneys did not act right

color came to my cheeks, and in every re-
spect l was considerably better. In three
months | could eat anything l wanted and

q 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 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.

In the opening of the British parlia-
ment the other day several illusions
were made to the friendly feeling ex-
isting between the two great English
speaking nations and the matter of an
alliance was several times referred to.
But those in this country who are so
fearful that the present administration
will tie this country up in an alliance
that will be defensive and aggressive,
should take note of the fact that all
statements in the British parliament
along this line, disclaimed all chances
of anything along this line, and simply
alluded to it as an alliance of close
friendship for commercial purposes.
This is doubtless as far as it is ever
likely to go, but there is no doubt that
such an alliance, which no one will de-
ny, ought to exist, will be most sub
stantial factor in maintaining the peace
of the world, and lifting the standard
of civilization.

GET DOWN TO COMMON
SEN Sc,

Jerry j. says that it is now conceded
nat something will be attempted in the
way of relief from the school book
trust. The printers union a few DAYS
ago submitted bill providing for state
supervision of school book publication
and state ownership of maps, plates.
copyrights. ETC., the printing and bind
ing to be done by contract. 1t is said
the house committee has agreed to in
troduce a bill retaining the principal
features of this'bill. This idea of state
supervision of private business is q
Populistic notion, that the house would
do well to smother on its first appear
ance. Jerry J. says in regard to the
movement, that ''there is a unanimous
desire, however, to do nothing which
will cripple the public school system
Ii there is not this desire, then the best
thing the legislature can do is to drop
this scheme of state printing, or state
supervision of printing, of school books.
1t will prove very expensive business
Tor the state to secure the ownersh D of
maps, plates and copyrights, of as high
class of publications as are now put
on to the market by private institu-
lions. Much more money than the
state will ever see back again, and
these will them be the question as to
quality. The state already has an
avenue of escape from the burdens of
text book cost, in the free text book
system, that can be adopted by any dis
trict when it sees fit, and this scheme
will reduce the cost of text books to the
lowest possible point, much lower than
will ever be realized by the state super
vision of printing, if experience else
where is any criterion to go by. What
the legislature wants to do in this mat
ter is to exercise little common sense.

COTTONWOOD WILL FUR
NISH BETS.

The Window Reporter in speaking of
beet sugar factory asays: 'Mankato
wants a beet sugar factory, and she
should have it. Ex-senator Keller tells
her that if she will raise 5000, 900 he
will show the incorporators where to
get the balance of the money. That is
fair. The only sure way to get an in
dustry is to get it by personal effort
Mankato has capitalists who can raise
the necessary money, with Keller's help,
and we hope she will. Window can't
have one at present, but her people and
surrounding farmers can help Mankato
by promising to raise beets and then
keeping the promise. Will she do it?
Yes, if those who have information on
the subject will come and show the
profit to the farmers. Everybody in
this part of the state ought to be inter
ested in building large city at Man
kato. for her prosperity is our pros
perity, The nearer we are to large
city the more valuable our
will become Let us help
Mankato by helping ourselves, and give
her thousand or two acres of beets
