For the Complexion.

The complexion always suffers from
biliousn9ss or constipation. Unless the
bowels are kept open the impurities
from the body appear in the form of
unsightly eruptions. De Wits Little
Early Risers keep the liver and bowels
in healthy condition and remove the
cause of such troubles. C. +. Hooper,
Albany, Ca, says:-"I took De Wits
Little Early Risers for biliousness.
They were just what needed. l am

Surgeons Knife Not Needed.

Surgery is no longer necessary to
cure piles. De Wits Witch Hazel

mony OF colortng and richness OF appoint
ment in every detail, I would suggest
that you exchange the hinges and knob
OF your doors in this room and your din
ing-room for others of old silver with a
fiat finish. These, when the knobs are
oval and the decoration consists solely
of a tiny beading, are very stunning on
ebonized doors. Electric or gas fixtures
are also extremely effective in this style.
There is quiet elegance in the soft fin
1shed surface Of old silver and a touch
OF colon1alism In the lines, which is the
very antithesis of common display.
would now have the ceiling of your little
parlor papered, or, if possible, kalsomined
a clean and delicate shade of tea green.
l am advising this color because I wish
you to use in your windows and doorways
hangings of tapestry which combines
in leaves and shadows of leaves, It's skyey
background and deep-toned foliage the
blue. the green of your ceiling, and your
side wall. When you reflect that In Wat
teaus landscapes there is nothing more
fascinating than the misty 1ndecision of
where blue commences and green ends, or
more convincing still, you recall enchant-
ing effects that you have seen in nature
when certain moisture in the atmos-
phere has caused the grays and greens of
young foliage to melt into blue shadows
against the sky. When you recall these
facts you will realize that you need not
fear the result of mingled blue and green.
These suggestions may also help you to
realize the tones Of color to be used here.
Tapestry material in the coloring
have described can be bought at retail
for $3.50 per yard, over 40 inches wide;
sometimes it Is So inches This is
mingled silk and wool; perhaps there is
also some cotton in it, but that does not
prevent it's being very rich looking stuff,
in soft and harmonious colors. It hangs
nightly and wears we'll, for I have seen
it after years of service.

carpet should be green also, and If your
furniture Is covered with a plain green
corresponding with the shade. Of figure in
paper, the effect will be charming. This
green and white room would lead we'll
into a green and yellow sitting-room,
yellow walls and green hangings would
give you a cheerful and effective room.
AS you wish to be able to throw all open
together prettily, 1t would be we'll to
carpet sitting-room and parlor alike. I
would advise you to do your dining-room
in several shades of delft blue, using
quantity figured bleu and white paper on
side walls and if possible finish the top
edge of this paper with plate rail, from
this line over ceiling kalsomine in cream
white, and your blue and white plates
diversified with a platter hue, and this
will make beautiful border.
Curtains of denim in delft blue with
undercurtains Of white muslin will look
we'll at your windows. A handsomely
woven rug of blue and white init and
miss" pattern with wide border of plain
blue, will be the most appropriate floor
covering for this scheme. Use colonial
furniture in your hall. Walls of plain
green would lead effectively into your
green and white parlor. Your bedroom
in white and yellow would also lend itself
to the fine effect when all are thrown
open together. AS for your upstairs bed
rooms 1 think you will find many bedroom
schemes available among those I have
published in this series of articles. II you
wish to retain the colonial character OF
your house do not use the grill In arch.
Your book shelves can be made to run to
the picture mold with fine effect. In cur
tanning triple windows the chief thing to
consider is absolute uniformity. One
sometimes sees fine window spoiled by
having too carefully draped curtains in the
center one and single curtain Will be
dragged across the side ones. This is an
economy which wrecks the entire scheme.

If you cannot afford to line your window
curtains with the pale yellow or ivory
white furniture sateen, which is general
ly used, buy ordinary cotton sateen and
use an interl1ning of fannelette. Above
all things, If you wish to save useless ex-
pense, take the measurement with a
yardstick instead of tapeline) of your
doors and windows yourself, buy the
necessary quantity of material, nd have
the curtains made under your own eye;
any careful seamstress can sew the
necessary quantity Of material, and have
and thus save you $40 or SIS curtain.
DO not use very heavy brass rods or fancy
brackets to support this drapery; the rod
should be as slender as the weight of the
stuff admits, the holders of the rod as
simple and unobtrusive as possible, and
the curtain should not be tackled to rings,
but the rod should run through a loose
casing at the top of the curtain. The
simplest way to manage this is to insert
it between the tapestry and the lining,
as the casing can be formed by row of
stitches set some inches below the top.
Avoid an outstanding rifle or heading, as
they are not permissible (whatever the
upholsterers may say to the contrary,

Is Cuba Turning to Spain.
The first man called upon was an ad-
herent to the stblood Is thicker than
water" theory. He said: There is moth
ing surprising in the fact that Cuba is
turning back to Spain to spend her money
for goods. Immediately after the end of
the war, prejudice against Spain and
gratitude toward the United States tended
to throw the bulk Of Cuba's trade to the
latter country; but the ties of blood and
religion and language are beginning to as
sert themselves for the mother country.
This is merely case Of history repeat
ing Itself On account of France assist
ing the American colonies in their strug
gle for independence from England, one
would naturally suppose that the United
States would always have a preference
for the French. Is this SO? It is far from
the truth. Great Britain and the United
States hang together on every issue that
affects an outsider. irrespective of France
or any other country, or all other coun-
tries put together. Blood and language
are the ties that bind. The United States
occupies much the same position Of the

The man who never uses his voice except
in ordinary conversation ordinarily over
looks the necessity of learning to breathe
properly in order that he may talk the
better, to say nothing of preserving his
health and vitality. People are willing
to rely upon the Unconscious in this
art, largely because they have no way of
determining whether they are breathing
properly unless they go to someone who
knows, and that they feel is useless I'M

to make for singing or speaking as sug-

overcome by Professor e. q. McDermott

clever little instrument which, with few
simple directions, will enable any one to
tell whether he is violating natures rules
as to breathing or not. It might be called

observed that the lower animals breathe in
the same way. dog breathes properly and
generally has "a good strong voice.
Three Important Points.
Three points should be strongly impressed
in correct breath control:
Ftrst-The breath should be directed to the
base of the lungs and the expansion due to
| inhalation should be chiefly at the waist line.
Whoever contracts at the waist and expands
the thorax when he inhales, breathes wrong.
Second-A sentence should never be started
without an abundance of breath. II this
habit has not been well established, the
speaker Will find himself speaking on an ex-
hausted breath a large part Of the time. Soon
er or later this fault will result in cultural
tones and physical exhaustion. A speaker
without breath is as weak banker without
capital Both might as we'll assign promptly
and voluntarily. for sooner or later physical
exhaustion or throat difficulty will force the
one to assign as the public will force the
other. Breath is the physical capital on
which the sneaker does business. and the
more of it he has the more easilT he can
transact his particular business.
Third-In order that the speaker may have
an abundance of breath at all times he shoald
breathe at every opportunity. It is commonly
taught that we pause to give ourselves q
chance to take breath. This is mistake.
Pauses are natural breaks in the thought. We
pause to give the mind chance to recuper-
ate, and we take ad Vantage of the pause to
renew the breath and to prepare physically
as well as mentally to express the next
thought.
There is. then. more or less perfect
rhythmic process in both the mental and
physical preparation to express thought. and
the more perfectly the processes harmonic
the more vigorous and the easier will be both
the thinking and the speaking.
Finally, to speak easily and have good
voice one should breathe Deep he should
breathe often, he should keep an abundance
of breath in his lungs, and he should breathe
in harmony with the rhythmic movement OF
his mind.

chases. All things considered, the show
ing is In her favor, and will show you
why this is so. By referring to the totals
for each year you will notice that during
the first twelve months after interven-
ton, she bought as much merchandise
from the United States as she did from
all other countries combined. Consider
ing that the business men Of other ma
tions have had an established trade here
for many years; that the people of the
island were accustomed to the use of
their goods; that the Cuban merchants
were under obligations to these foreign
dealers on account Of loans and eXten-
sions of credit, did we not fare pretty
we'll when we got the lions share Of the
trade? And, furthermore, we got the
bulk of this business without making the
effort that other nations made. England,
France and Germany have very able rep
resentatives here who are constantly and
theoretically looking after the interests
Of their respective countries. The Ger
man consul is the highest salaried off,
cial on the island, with the one exception
of the military governor. The European
business men are after the trade here,
while the merchants Of the states are
practically waiting for it to come to them.
Of its own accord" s
I called the generals attention to the
increasing shortage in purchases each
year, and he replied: '"That is not so
alarming as 1t appears on the surface.
The people of Cuba have very little
money to spend. It does not mean that
they are increasing their trade else
where. During the first year after the
war they made great many emergency
purchases, such as tools, machinery, and
the like, which ran the total Of trade
higher than it otherwise would have been.
What they bought that year, as well as
the succeeding years, is no indication Of
what. the trade OF the island would be
under ordinary circumstances. AS you
go through the country you will see scores

The Question of the Tariff.

situation, the general replied: After
