Consumption is a human
weed aoulls|aing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scots Emulsion. Salt pork
is good TOO, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton IS when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
It isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it ard be better for the
treatment. # It is consump-
lion you can't expect to be
cured at once, but i you will
begin IN time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
lnent you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

method of making them was tedious in

the milk into curds and whey, and the
praying Of the curds in stone mortar

to shorten the operation, and in place Of

WOMAN WITH THE SMILE.
And the How and When and Why Sht
Uses It.


From the Memphis Commercial Appeal
Nothing is more beautiful than a wo-
man, and the most beautiful woman is the
CHEEKY, perpetually pleased woman who
smiles constantly and who looks at you In
quiringly when she meets you on the street.
There is, perhaps, nothing more exquisite
ly painful and cordially humiliating to a
man than to be told by member of the
fair sex: II bowed to you on the street two
or three times lately and you would not
speak to me-" Young men do not mind this
much, and they are seldom chided for such
churlish delinquency, but men who are
trifle grizzled and who rush to the bar
bershop frequently to be shaved-not be-
cause the stubble is more irritating than
formerly, but because it is gray and a gray
stubble is a tattle-tale-feel that their ma
tive gallantry has been impeached by the
infrmities of advancing years. Not one
in ten of these men can recognize woman
on the street, or could recognize his own
wife, did she of his heart and home change
the manner of dressing her hair wear a
bit of unusual color or exploit a ribbon or
rose in some unwonted fashion. The re-
suit is that he is continually in misery
bowling and scraping to women whom he
does not know and who do not know him,
and ignoring the salutations of women
whom he knows and who are his friends.
1t would be great blessing if the woman
who smiles would refrain from doing so at
long range and adopt the old revolutionary
method of reserving her fire until she can
see the white of the enemys eyes" Men
are not highly sensitized and delicately
adjustable as Marconi instrument, and
when a smile is sent scurrying through
space every son of man reaches for 1t and
tries to gget strange or half Nelson hold
on it.

Winter Sleep.

From the London Chronicle.
1t is a theory commonly held that anls
mails and insects go to sleep in winter be-
cause it is too cold to keep awake. A
writer in a weekly paper, who has OBJ
served nature to some purpose, holds to
the less popular theory that the habit OF
Information is rather to avoid the pangs
and penalties of famine. But surely we have
had warm enough winters during the past
few years to establish the soundness Of this
doctrine. From the little bats who huddls
in amorphous clusters under belfry tower
and barn roof, to the mighty badger VINO
sinks far back into his subterranean lodg-
ing, almost all the alternating animals are
wholly, or partly, insectiverous. And when
we come to examine the creeping or winged
fare of these kreophagists, who Withdraw
from the madding world during winter, we
understand how 1t is so many animals Kali
asleep, and so many birds fly away from
our Barmecide feast Bees, wasps anus
carvings woodlice. gnats. horse flies. siugs,
beetles larvae worms and snaiis-all these
are seldom visible in winter months; while
the famine of insect life in the fresh water
of our ponds is deductibie from the ract
that efts creep ashore to wriggle asleep In
the cracks of earth, and the frog tucks
himself up to sleep in the bed Of his pond.
Toads and snakes likewise sleep away the
famished months and we are told that II -

Indifference.

Written for The Evening Star by Charles W. Ste
To watch the warning cohorts of the air
And never think on flowers that bloom unseen
Drinking their gladness from the storms de
mesne;
To hear the night wind strip the forest bare
And never think that in the city there
II fans sick child with its comfort keen;
To feel that man for strength must somewhere
lean
And never thank the Helper for His care;
To sing-as one beside a summer sea;
To moan-as one upon lonely lea;
To let a friend for naught be sore forgot;
To look not kindly a kindred lot;
And doing nothing damn the laggard fate
That holds its righteous judgment from thee late,
