have appeared in court Tuesday
morning, but failed and his bond

Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect to live long, because they
can not eat the food required to nourish
the body, aud the products Of the undi-

ton as soon as possible, and the best
method OF doing this is to use the prepa-
ration known as kodol Dyspepsia Cure.

you have good legs, and walk-just walk.
It's simplicity itself. You may knead your
face and rub it with towel before and
afterward if you like. but the chief things
are the rain and the walking.
How about taking cold?' enquiries the
thoughtful.
"Bosh.'' responds the English woman
when thus questioned by writer in the
philadelphia Telegraph" Follow my di-
rections and don't stand around, and you
won't take cold. On the contrary, you'll
be all the better for the exercise you've
taken That's part of the cure.
You see, it's as plain as the nose on

poor Irish and Scotch servant girls who
come over here with red checks and clear
complexions and yet they themselves
for six months in the year in rooms heat
ed by hot air and wonder why they don
have a complexion like Bridgets.
When they go out they ride in heated
car. They have hot biscuits and ice wa
ter for breakfast, drink more ice wa
ter throughout the day. yet when they go
out are ever so careful that a little good
wholesome rain water doesn't touch their
faces.
In summer it's a little better, but the
air is dried then. Now look At the differ

large mirror behind her. The eye special
ist watched her with lowering brows.
1T is a wonder TO me- he said. that
half the women in the land are not cross
eyed. The contortiOns to which they sub
ject the muscles of the eyes in their ef-
forts to see themselves as others see them
are something awful
IF an acrobat on the stage would per-
form with his limbs the feats that the
average woman does with her eyes day
after day, he would be advertised as a
marvel of agility. But he couldn't do it.
He couldn't stand it.
And the women are not going to stand
it always, either They are bound TO pay
the penalty of their abnormal optical eX-
ercise some time. 1t isn't natural for the
eyes to be pulled and hauled from right to
left and turned inside out every time a
woman puts on her hat to go to the meat
market. and they're going to make her
suffer for the unnecessary strain put
upon them. Only yesterday l had a pa
tient who put up most pitiful wall about
the condition of her eyes.
They don't seem straight any more,
she said. They give an observer the i'm
preston that l am looking seventeen ways
for Sunday at one time.
Yes, sale /, and they will continue to
look so and even worse if you don't quit
rolling them about
How do you know l roll them about?'
she asked.
Nothing else would make them SO
crooked, ] said.
Then by degrees l drew from her the
information that she had a little mole
around at the base of her right ear and
in trying to doctor the blemish she would
roll her eyes till the pupils were almost
