and eggs ought to be the food of every body who values a clear complexion.
 Milk is a useful addition when it agrees with one. but coffee should be very rarely taken. as it tends to make the skin sai- low. The custom of drinking rather weak tea for breakfast Is a good one and Is a, considerable help to the complexion.
 The care necessary in bathing the face cannot be insisted upon too strongly. Soap should be used rarely a bran or oat- meal bag serving the same purpose much better.
 It is wise to have a piece of lemon on your dressing table in summer. The juice left in used lemons can be utilized and Is an excellent defense against freckles and tan if rubbed on the face just before go- ing 70 bed.
 It iS a good plan to take a packet of borax when going into the country. as the water is often hard. Either borax or ammonia will soften It. Some people seem to think that If little is good a great deal Is better" and add ammonia in such quantities to the water that 1t becomes irritating to the skin.
 Too much borax has drying effect that is equally bad. It Is well to remember, however, that the face is not to be bathed directly after exposure to the suns rays. Water should hevef be applied for some hours after.

Tightly Locked From

Phy Sicians Go uld
 Not Prevent Fits.
Dr. Miles Nervine Cured
 My Wife.

Dr. Miles Nelvine has been successfully tried in thousands of cases of nervous disor- ders, but neverhas it made better record than when used in the treatment of fits or spasms. Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in that the hts ceased after the first dose of Ner- vine was given. The statement is repeated in the following:
 Seven years ago my wife commenced having spasms or fits and l called in my home physician and he said she was para. lyzed. He rubbed her with salt water and gave her calomel and she eventually got some better, but in a short time she had another attack. She was confined to her bed for three months and the doctor could not help her. She had fits frequently, some times very severe. Her hands would cramp so we could not o-en them and she finally got % her jaws would become locked. Finally 1 saw the d ctor was doing her no good and ordered a bottle of Dr. Miles Re toratiye Neivine. She received so much benefit from the first bottle that got some more. She has taken number of bottles put has never had it since taking the first lose She also thinks very highly of Dr. Mics Nerve and Liver Pills and is never wthcJt them.

 l asked Mir. Werner about this matter. He replied:
 There is nothing in any of the stories about concessions being granted to my self or to any other American through such influences. I have been in Russia for several years devoting my time to this matter and l do not know the name of the man or woman alleged to be inter- ested in this case. Besides the Russians dn oot do business that way They know all about street railways and what they are making in other parts of the world They understand what 1t costs to build and operate them and what the probable profits will be.

 American Goods in Moscow.
 This bazaar is only one of a half dozen or more in Moscow. The others are smaller, but some of them would be con- sidered large anywhere. Moscow is the commercial capital of Russia. Its busi- ness is scattered. and I have walked my self tired in going from one commercial quarter to another. Many new stores are going up. and in some American eleva tors and others of our inventions are being in- troduced.
 There is one store here which sells noth- ing but American goods. and strange to say, 1t belongs to an Englishman. who has made a fortune in dealing in our special ties. His name is Block. and he has been doing business fin Russia for the past twenty years. He started as an agent of the Fairbanks scales and pushed them so that the government adopted them and made them the standard scales of Russia. Block then took the agency for other American goods, and continued increasing his business, until now he handles Amer ican type writers. furniture from Cincin- natl and Grand Rapids, office desks and nles' unit bookcases, cameras, bicycles. stoves. and indeed everything American He has big establishments in St. Peters burg and in others of the larger Russian cities. His sales amount to tens of mil lions Of dollars a year. and the profits are so great that he has, 1 am told. be- come millionaire. It is pity he is an Englishman.
 Millions in Electric Rail vyay3.
 Some of the biggest openings here are in the electrical field. St. Petersburg has about a million and a half people and il is still run by horse cars. Moscow has l.2OO,OOO, and has gained almost 50O.O0t within the last ten years It likewise has horse cars, and poo1 ones at that War saw and other cities are little better off so that electric railway concessions would be of enormous value
 There are several American parties whC are trying to get such concessions, includ. ing the Westinghouse Company, and MT Murray A. Werner of Pittsburg. A story that is going the rounds is that the Pitts. burg man has the inside track and that owing to the influence of an eX-sweetheart of the cZar. This story Is fishy at best and I do not believe it. but 1t shows the kind of gossip one hears at these Euro pean courts. According to it the czar had an actress sweetheart to whom he was devoted while he was crown prince. but whom he dismissed when he ascended the

Although Mir. Bristow's enemies, and necessarily he is blessed with many of them just now, say that he is the most merciless official in the Government. vel this is far from true. In his own home and with his friends he is the most genial of men. His home life Is an Ideally hap py one.
 Inspired by His Wife. Mrs. Bristow has always shared her husbands ambitions. It was she who urged him to take up his studies at Bald win, and by her management and econ omy made it possible for him to remain for the full course, and she 1t is who has inspired him in every step of his upward career. She is the gentlest kind of It, tie woman, caring nothing for society, and while absorbed in her domestic cir cle, she finds time to be active in her church and many philanthropies. Her happiness lies within the four walls of her domain, and her husband and three stalwart sons are all the kingdom she cares to sway.
 They have a charming home out on Columbia Heights in Washington, where the favorite and most used room is the library for General Bristow is still de- voted to books. although his present busy life gives him but little time to spend with them. The three sons are all stu dents in the public schools of the capital. Joe, the eldest, bears his fathers name. and like his honored sire finds his chief pleasure in books. Frank. the second, is of a mechanical turn of mind. When he was a baby he invariably tore his toys apart to see what 1t was that made the wheels go round, and he delights in noth- ing SO much as to investigate the me chanism of machinery.

they situated on Broadway or 23d street New York, they would catch the attention of the passersby for their costly goods and fine window dressing.
 I wish could take you inside the bazaar with my interpreter and show you street after street of the great treasure house. You would lose the idea that the Russians are poor nation and see something of this enormous market for our American goods.
 The merchandise offered is worth many many times the cost of the building. Ii amounts to tens of millions of dollars. and vast part of it is made up of goods from Europe. The Germans. the French and the English have contributed to fill 1t, and it Is only now and then that you see anything from America. I should like to show you the prices. They are faI above those of our country or the other countries of Christendom. and the goods are of the costliest description.
 Department St,rss Wanted.
 Indeed. one of the best openings for American capital is in founding depart ment stores in Europe. I understand that John Wanamaker, Siegel & Cooper and others are thinking of establishing them in London, but they would pay almost equally well in all the European capitals Paris is the only one that has any tc speak of. It has the Bon Marche, the Louvre and Au Printemps, together with some smaller establishments, all of which are making money. I have written of the two Berlin department stores, Wertheim' and Tietz's, both of which are doing ar enormous business, but there is room fol more.
 Russia is peculiarly we'll fitted for sucf stores. Its people are rather oriental thar ocidental. They are used to the great ba- zaars, and department store is only a bazaar under one head. They are also accustomed to do business by bargaining and they would jump at marked goods and fixed prices. As 1t is here you dickei for everything. from suit of clothes tc a liver pill. It is how much will you give and how much will you take? not only ir the great establishments, but also in the petty markets found all over the city.
 This bazaar was filled with shoppers when I visited it. Crowds of men in caps overcoats and top boots, of poorly dressed peasant women in gowns and head shawls

Moscow.
 The biggest store in the world under one roof is in Moscow. It is situated close to the Kremlin, under the shadow of some of the oldest and holiest churches of this holy city. It is a great stone building with roofs of iron and glass. covering at least twenty acres, and embracing 1000 different business establishments. I, have called 1t store. It is rather collection of stores, for each establishment has its individual owner, who rents of the syndi- cate which constructed the building. It ts a gigantic department store. or bazaar. under a thousand different heads, selling all kinds of goods and carrying on every kind of business.
 I have seen the bazaars of Cairo. Cal cutta and Constantinople. The most of them are rude sheds. or caves in the walls of narrow streets, roofed with mating. This bazaar is in one of the finest build 'ings of the world. It has been erected within the past few years, and with the ground upon which it stands has cost the enormous sum of $8.000,0 This is one third more than the National Library building at Washington, and many times more than any business establishment of the United States.

It is divided up into streets, crossing one another at right angles, with mighty arches of glass above them. Along the streets are booths with plate-glass windows. and over them two galleries, representing the second and third stories, each lined with stores. The basement Is a vast catacomb of stores, and the whole might be compared to a bee hive. each cell filled with the treasures of Europe, Russia and the far east. The stores are not the little cave-like holes in the wall which form the oriental bazaars great cities of the United States, and were

True Preventive of Hay Fever.
n yomei Destroys Germs of the Disease
and Keeps People Well,

anu AACCPs EtOple w ells
There can be little or no doubt as to
hay fever being germ disease. 1t is,
too, one disease where prevention is
much easier than cure
All who are subject to this disagree
able trouble. should use Hyomei daily
for at least two or three weeks before
the time of their annual attack. In this
way the annoying paroxysms of sneez-
ing, running of the nose and watery and
smarting eyes can be avoided.
This remarkable discovery makes it
possible for anyone to breathe air at
home which is almost identical with
that of the Adirondacks or White Noun
tains or other resorts where hay fever
sufferers go to escape their trouble.
If, however, Hyomei has not been used
until the disease has begun, it is neces-
sary to usei it more frequently, at least half
dozen times daily, and Hyomei Balm
should be rubbed into the nostrls both
morning and night. This treatment
will relieve at once and will effect cure
in nearly every case.
W. B. Eastman has a complete line of
the Hyomei goods and will sell an out.
fit of inhaler, Hyomei and medicine drop
per for $1.00 and will also agree to
refund the money if the treatment does
not give satisfaction.
Do not try to cure hay fever by dosing
the stomach. Breathe Hyomei and in
that way the medication will reach the
minutest air cells in the nose, throat and
lungs, soothe and heal the irritated mu.
cous membrane, and prevent and cure all
hay fever troubles.
