SALT AND PEPPER.
Both These Articles Highly Valuable
In IA HyGienic Sense.

Both These Articles Highly Valuable
In IA HyGienic Sense.
A writer in the New York Evening
World says that salt and pepper are
not only of value in bringing out the
flavor of the food to which they are
added, but are very valuable from
health standpoint.
In eastern countries the condiments,
such as pepper are used to profusion in
all foods. Gastric troubles, common
enough in other countries, are conspic-
uously absent, and the free use of pep
per has much to do with that fact. Salt
and pepper work against fermentation.
When the stomach is out Of order OF, as
the common saying is, upset, it is in
state Of fermentation.
A certain very wise physician who
has advanced to the point where drugs
seem the unimportant thing and com
mon sense the important in making the
sick well is advocating the use of pep
per and salt even in a glass of milk. 1t
improves the flavor to a remarkable de-
gree, fact you can prove to your own
satisfaction by taking two glasses Of
milk, one in it's original simplicity, the
other changed by the addition of a
pinch of salt and a dash Of pepper, then
sip a little Of each. The chances are
that you will prefer the seasoned milk.
Besides improving the flavor and
overcoming the tendency toward fer
mentation, the pepper will practically
disable any microbes that may be float
ing in the fluids. Thus the gastric juices
will perform their perfect work Of
changing microbes to food.

To put the brake on the wagon going
down the hill is help to the horse,
when the wagon is heavily loaded. But
what driver would think of applying
the break to a loaded wagon going up

in the condition of pulling load up hill
with the break set against him. When

by the use of DIR. Pierce's Golden Med

Why DO BIrds Micrate1

No one has given really satisfactory
reason for the migration Of birds. Some
say il is a matter of instinct; others that
II is q matter Of example-the younger
learning from the older; still others, that
1t is largely n matter OF search for food.
The last named reason will hardly hold,
In view OF the fact that often birds dis
appear when food conditions are seem
ingly perfect. Notwithstanding natural
lists have studied and written much on
the subject, the real reason remains a
mystery. Some extraordinary stories are
told Of migratory birds. 1t Is said that
the Virginia plover flies to the height Of
two miles and at speed of 225 miles an
hour 1t is reported that n blackcap
warbler arrived at a certain bush in the
north in three successive years at half
past 3 o'clock of the afternoon Of the

How to Fricassee Chicken.

NOVELTY In ENGINES.
The Diesel Requires No Stoker and
EInits No Smell or Smoke.

The Diesel engine is n new thing,
rich with promise. 1t has no boiler
and no furnace; it requires no stoker;
it emits no smell or smoke. | have
seen a % horsepower specimen at work
near Manchester, writes a correspond
ent of the London News, and the prin-
ciple is equally applicable to an engine
of 2,2OO horsepower. Its fuel is vari-
Gus. The Manchester specimen feeds
on air and oil-ordinary air and oil of
the cOarsest and cheapest. Gases-in-
Guiding, it is believed, one that is al
present waste product-and coal dust,
also in conjunction with air, are alter
native articles of diet. In any case, the
Diesel requires only half as much food
as other engines.
And now to give some clew to the
why and wherefore. The returning pis
ton in the latter stage Of the stroke
congresses air until 1t Is sufficiently
hot to ignite oil that is gradually in
jected, and the resulting expansion pro
pels the piston again. The inodOrous
and invisible product of combustion is
expelled from the cylinder by a current
of air having play during the earlier
stage Of the piston's return. An initial
thrust of the piston is secured by the
Introduction Of compressed air from a
special reservoir.
1t only remains to explain how 1t Is
that the new engine gives forth nei-
ther smoke nor smell. Complete com
bustion Of fuel Is the ideal that Mr..
Diesel has aimed at and apparently
achieved. The smell that comes from
Oil motors and the smoke that arises
from chimneys Gt has been explained
to mel both represent fuel which, ow-
ing to a deficiency of available oxygen,
has escaped combustion and employ
ment. In the new engine air and oil (or
other fueD are balanced, or, rather, the
former Is introduced in excess of the
quantity necessary for the consumption
of the latter.

Inform For Wnmen.

A Belgian artist, NJ. Van de Velde.
has been lecturing In Vienna on the
subject Of wOmen'S dress. The lecturer,
as reported reminds one of nothing so
much as the fitting of Don Quixote at

ly would have been much better en-
ployed with the palette and canvas ex-
cept perhaps in so far as he gave harm
less pleasure to his audience. The
whole drift of the lecturers remarks
was In favor of Uniformity This comes
surely with an odd sort Of grace from
the lips of one who is professedly a stu
dem of nature. One can well imagine
the ironical smiles on the faces of NJ.

them that at public dinner or festival

Ing showed more beauty" than did the
ladies. The Belgian dress reformer
will be satisfied with nothing short of a

TREATMENT or HAIR.
How to Prevent Falling out-scalp
Massage and r0nics.


Falling hair is one of the most com
mon ills that attend upon spring, beau
teous spring! Possibly II is symptom
of weakness, and as such should be
treated by tonic of iron, which the
doctor will prescribe, says the Phila.
delphia Times. Outward treatment is
also advisable The hair should be
washed regularly, but not too fire.
Quently, or " will become still more
impoverished.
An excellent shampoo Is made by
melting cake of pure CASTLE or olive
oil soap shaved into thin slices in a
quart Of boiling water. When the soap
is thoroughly dissolved, the result will
be Of jellylike consistency. Add to II
one teaspoonful Of bicarbonate of soda,
and when cool perfume 1t or not, as
preferred. Put the result away in
wide mouthed jar for use. For sham
poo wet the scalp with hot water and
rub a small quantity of the mixture
we'll into the roots. Rinse afterward in
several waters, each one becoming cool
er and cooler. Where dandruff is pres
ent good shampoo consists of powder
ed borax, 2 ounces; powdered cam
phor, / ounce; boiling water, 2 quarts.
Mix these ingredients, and when the
mixture is cold bottle it for use, and
rub a little of it well into the scalp
every few days.
Scalp massage is a powerful auxil-
iary to hair health and is best perform
ed by specialist. 1t affords relief to
nervous headache and neuralgia. A
simple and efficacious hair grower is
made from pure castor oil, ounces,
and eau de cologne, 16 ounces. If the
spirit is of the proper strength, the oil
Is freely dissolved, and the solution is
clear and beautiful cleanly and safe.
One of Sir Erasmus Wilson's famous
topics was the following: Tincture Of
captharides, 3 ounces; oil of rosemary,
! ounce; bay rum, 6 ounces; olive oil,
Ounce. It is said that one ounce of
rock sulphur broken into small pieces
fnot powdered added to this lotion will
retard the coming Of gray hair. Then,
too, the following quinine tonic is
highly efficacious: Sulphate Of quinine,
half an ounce; bay rum, 16 ounces; Oil
of rosemary, half an ounce, and tine
ture of cantharides, ounces. Dis
solve these in enough spirits Of wine to
make the mixture smooth.

Cut raw potatoes in thin slices, put
them in a baking pan, sprinkling each
layer with salt. When the dish Is
nearly full, pour sufficient milk to COW
or the potatoes, and bake them in a
slow oven about two hours. Stir them
occasionally, taking care not to break
the slices, and If the milk is reduced
more than one-half ado little more,
as there should be good deal Of mois-
ture when the process is finished. This
mode of cooking gives peculiarly de-
licious favor even to inferior potatoes.

Women join clubs because they enjoy
sociability, which is placed upon an in
tellectual basis. The pleasure to be de.
rived from the exclusively fashionable
gatherings is initiated against by the
fact that the circle is comparatively
small and is composed of persons who
have similar traditions and standards.
There is apt after time to be a sense Of
monotony; there is also apt to be rivalry,
and above all. woman must be young
and beautiful or rich and influential in
order to extract the true essence Of the
pleasure of fashionable society. Club So
ciety is much more democratic and is
composed Of a greater variety of ele-
ments. Its reason for being is intellec-
tual. Such rivalry as exists has nothing
to do with material things. The elderly
and plain woman, poor in purse and I'M
known outside of her club, may win her
double tirsts there and find life that
otherwise would have been lonely and
