Drink More Water,

Dark, shadowy, puffy places under the
eyes are annoying beyond everything to
sensitive woman. They make one look
haggard, tired and weary of life. Mas
sage and electric treatment will be found
good, but the main part of the work of
Identifying must be accomplished by
yourself, says an exchange.
Any slight kidney disorder will bring
the puffy look, and for that reason drink
ing plenty of water is one of the finest
| remedies known. Sip the water slowly,
and do not have it too cold. Three pints
day is not drop two much. A good
way is to sip big tumblerful half an
hour before each meal, and to take an
other big tumblerful two hours after each
meal.
Not one woman among hundred
drinks enough water to keep her system
in a healthy condition, anyhow. A slug
gish circulation and torpidity of the liver
will bring the disfiguring blemishes.
Exercise daily, nutritious food, deep
breathing, quick hand bath with tepid
salt water every day, sleep enough to
thoroughly rest you, well-ventilated
bed-room-all these are very, very bene-
fetal,

voice as a Revealer of Character.

There is no greater revealer of character
than the human voice. 1t is the first
thing that strikes us in a stranger, or in a
new acquaintance. Ii it has that spon-
taneous ring of truth that no Training
can impart, we recognize its APPEAL for
confidence. Some voices have the jar of
faisehood, and are as full Of warning as
the hiss of a serpent.
The unconscious natural voice is to be
regarded as the index OF character. To
speak promptly and positively is gener-
ally to act promptly and positively; to
speak politely is to act politely, and to
speak gruffiy and rudely is good way to
make rude action easy.-Ladies' Home
