HnYY to BE Beautiful.

If you want to have a good COM
plexion, avoid greasy foods, cakes,
pastry and sweets, as we'll as all lightly
seasoned dishes. Don't eat between
meals. Eat plenty Of fruit, fresh and
stewed, and green vegetables, under
done beef and mutton, white fish and
milk buildings. Give up strong tea and
coffee, and if you find that any special
food disagrees with you give 1t up at
once. The stomach quickly reacts on
the skin and takes its revenge by Civ
ing it a muddy look.

Scarcity of Platinum.

The scarcity of platinum is beginning
to cause some concern among the electri-
cal manufacturers of the country. For
about five years the price of this valua-
BILE metal has steadily risen, until today
it is listed at higher price than ever
since it's discovery, and every indication
points to still higher prices. Platinum is
now quoted at about $50 an ounce,
about twice the quotation OF gold,
while five years ago it sold as low as SIS
an ounce. Since the flooding Of the plati-
NUN mines in the Transvaal, which oc-
cured after the breaking out of the Boet
war, manufacturers have had to rely on
Siberia for their supply of the valuable
metal. Some little hope was held out
that platinum would be found in Alaska
and other Northern mining countries, but
no such discoveries have been made

A Unique Bed Quilt.

Out of several hundred yards of ribbon
that came to Mrs. Mckinley on as many
bouquets of flowers during the trip of
the presidential party across the CONT
nent, there is being fashioned for her
bed quilt, that will be unique among the
many gifts that she is constantly receiv-
ing. The arti6ceri is Mrs. Caroline Moore
of Brooklyn.
When her son, c. A. Moore, who, with
his wife, accompanied the president on
his trip, saw Mrs. McKinley's perplexity
as to the best disposition of the humid
reds of pretty but apparently somewhat
useless souvenirs, he begged for them for
his mother, whose skilful fingers have
wrought many handsome bed covering.

How to Tell Good Olives.

Eminent physicians prescribe olives
largely for all sorts of nervous dis
eases, for indigestion and gastritis.
They warn only against poor olives,
which are far from healthful. A per-
feet olive is of yellowish green tinge,
hard, and when bitten the mouthful
is entire, not mushy or spongy. The
stone should have pinkish color, and
the smell ought to be fresh and agree

The Democratic convention in Mary.
land has adopted the Ohio platform
with the exception of one or two of the
taxation planks. Maryland Democrats
are not quite so far advanced as Ohio
Democrats in this regard. The taxa.
tion question is one that every man
who pays taxes can understand. When
he pays 60 to 100 per cent on all he
owns and somebody else pays but to
10 per cent on greater ownership
it is not difficult to make the issue
so plain that it becomes effective. But
Ohio set the pace in many instances
in the Maryland platform, and the east
ern brethren will wake up to the real
situation after while.

SCHLEY'S REQUEST DENIED.
Navy Department Refused to Change
Certain Languase-kimherIy
Not to Serve.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Rear Ad.
miral Kimberly will not be a member
Of the Schley court of inquiry. His
request to be relieved from the detail
on the ground of i'll health has been
granted by the navy department, and
the department is now considering
the question of his successor. 1t is
quito likely that selection has been
made already, but the official an.
nouncement will be withheld until the
officer selected has been heard from.
j Is explained in connection with the
acceptance of Admiral Kimberly's de-
clination that this Is the first time in
SO years that this officer has requested
,he department to relieve him Of a
duty to which he has been assigned.
The navy department has refused
to accede TO Admiral Schley's sug.
gestion that the language in the fifth
specification Of the precept to the
court of inquiry be modified.
The admiral in his letter challenges
that specification, which states as a
fact that he had disobeyed orders, and
suggested that 1t be modified. The de-
partment, in its reply, declines to
make the suggested modification on
the ground that according to the Off
tial records Admiral Schley himself
acknowledged that he had disobeyed
orders. The disobedience of orders
was an established fact, whether will.
ingly or unwillingly.

Conditions at Magnolia
Greatly Improved.
CITIZENS ABE ANGRY
At the MISREPRESENTATION That
Have Been Made BY Out
siders--Patients Re-
coverings.

The Sandy Valley Press, published at
Magnolia, sets forth the grievances Of
the people Of that community in the
following editorials:
The conditions with regard to the
smallpox in this section are greatly
improved since our last issue. They
were not bad at that time but are
very much better now. No new cases
have appeared and it is confidently be-
lieved that no more will appear. All
the patients are now at the pest camp
nearly mile east of town and are get
ting along nicely with the best Of care
and none are at all dangerous.
There are now no cases In the cor
poration or in any of the additions or
suburbs, in fact none within nearly
a mile Of town. The general belief
is that there will be no more.
All who were possibly exposed in any
way have been very carefully guarded
and the climax has passed. A num-
ber of the towns and communities,
which quarantined against us, have
removed the same, and all ought to be
removed.
Magnolia was made the subject Of
one of the most vicious conspiracies
that ever undertook to do any people
an injury. With persistence that
is almost impossible to comprehend,
false and grossly exaggerated reports
were sent abroad until q Magnolian
was looked upon as almost equal to
the Prince of Darkness himself.
Deaths and new cases have been re-
ported almost every hour and without
the slightest foundation of truth, and
these reports we're persistently kept in
circulation, and while one was being
exploded half q dozen others were be-
ing formulated. Petitions almost by
the score were put forth, the state
health board was frequently called up
on, the Pennsylvania company petit
toned, the steps of trustees dogged,
and some men spent much of their val
liable CD time in agitating the matter.
There are no Nihilists in this section,
oh no, but II Magnolia could have been
swept from the face of the earth, some
would have rejoiced. Magnolians are
not revengeful, they haven't time to
be, but they do feel that they have
been imposed upon beyond all the capa-
bilities of human endurance.

Ihe AmalSamated association has
the ultimatum of the Steeel trust. 1t
offers less than it did at the commence
ment of the controversy and with can
dor amounting almost to brutality de-
clares that it will disorganize the Anal
gamated association and thus throttle
the most powerful labor organization in
the world.
There is nothing surprising about
that declaration. That has been the
tendency of the times. 1t was fore.
seen several years ago when the trusts,
under the present national administra-
ton, began to thrive.
Success has made the trust mag
mates bold. They feel that, though few
in number they can control the thous.

States. They have secured slight ad-
vantage and are bound to follow it up.
After the union succumbs, the wage
question will be easy Of settlement
