The Ants Toilet.

A naturalist has been making OBJ
servations on the toilets of certain ants,
and has discovered that each insect
goes through most elaborate ablutions.
They are not only performed by her.
self, but by another, who acts for the
time as lady's maid. The assistant
starts by washing the face of her COM
panion, and then goes over the whole
body. The attitude of the ant that is
being washed is one of intense salts
faction. She lies down with all her
limbs stretched loosely out; she rolls
over on her side, even her back, per-
feet picture Of ease. The pleasure the
little insect evinces in being thus
combed and sponged is really enjoya-

Baekache is really kidney ache
To cure the back you must cure the
kidneys.

A Phoenix citizen tells you how
the cure is easy.
j. A. Taylor, of the Republican print-
ing Office, Phoenix, Ariz., living at
804 South First Ave, says: 81 was
subject to kidney complaint for six
or seven years. Every time con-
tracted a cold it settled in my kidneys
md the aching was much more pro-
nounced. When the spells were at
their worst I could neither sit, stand
nor lie with any comfort and had to
keep constantly changing my position
for the meagre assistance this make
shift gave When standing all day at
the desk the lame and aching back was
a very unenviable companion and
when suffering with rather an acute
attack, noticed an advertisement
about Doan's Kidney Pills and went
to the Bisley Drug Co.'S store for q
box. Now if it had not brought about
the results promised never would
have bought a second, and if the eec-
ond had not stopped the last attack,
would be the last resident of Phoeniz
to publicly endorse the preparation
also used. Doan's Ointment for itchi.

TOILET WHISPERS.

The secrets of beauty and good health
are plenty of natural exercise, good
plain nourishing food at regular inter
walls, daily bathing and proper breathing
not one in fifty uses good judgment
with regard to either-and healthful
occupation for the mind.
Just the many simple things woman
can do to preserve and enhance her
charms, such as the daily bath, the daily
walk, plenty of ventilation in rooms,
partaking of plain, good food, and avoid
ing strong tea and coffee, she will moi
do, and the things she ought not to do,
such as eating sweets, taking meals al
irregular hours, sitting indoors day after
day, ETC., etc., she insists upon doing,
and then wonders why her skin is sal.
low, her eyes dull, her figure not devel-
oped, etc.
Beginning with the feet it may eur.
prise those who have never investigated
the subject to be told that a healthful
condition of the feet is as closely con.
nected with happiness, and sound con-
dition Of the whole body, and particu-
larly the brain and nervous system, as a
healthy state of the teeth. The feet
should be bathed every night, if not
night and morning, in tepid water, to
which has been added few drops Of
ammonia. The feet need more attention
in the way of cleanliness than the hands,
for they get no ventilation through the
leather cages in which they are encased
for hours at time, and it is astonishing
the amount of neglect which the poor
feet get, and which they will bear.
Change the stockings daily, and the
boots or shoes as often as the feet are
tired.
Remember, too, that good nourishing
food, plenty of baths, and outdoor exer-
else will do more to give good COM
plexion than all the artificial aids put
together.
Try bath daily for a month, and
prove for yourself the immense improve
ment in the complexion, while daily
friction with firm towel will give you
flesh like unto velvet and add much
vigOr to the frame.
For your face use tepid water and a
pinch of borax, battle well; then II the
flesh is flabby, battle with cold water, to
which add pinch of borax and few
drops of eau de Cologne, or squeeze of
lemon juice; battle thoroughly, as this
will ensure firmness of flesh, and in time
rid you of lines, etc.
Here are twelve commandments of
health to read and perform if you wish
to live hundred years or more:
l. Eight hours sleep.
2. Sleep on your right side.
8. A daily bath at the temperature
of your body.
4. Exercise daily in the open air.
5. Eat but little meat and let that be
we'll done.
6. Eat fat to feed the cells which de-
stroy disease germs, but avoid intox-
icants which destroy those cells.
Z. Watch the three D's-drinking
water, damps and drains.
8. Have change of occupation.
o. Take frequent and short holidays.
10. Drink glass of hot water every
morning the first thing, and last thing
at night.
II. Limit your ambition; and
IL. Keep your temper.-McCalrs
Magazine.
