Wen for GirIs 70 Know

The growing girl who wants to pre-
serve her clear complexion and becomeI
a strong healthy woman must avoid
excess in all things.
No matter how plain of feature al
woman is. IL she possess good health and
a clear. smooth complexion, she Will
be attractive and pleasing to the eye.
A GOOD complexion is best preserved,
not by lotions and powders, but by
healthfni exercise. and eating. Every
girl should have, at least, two hours
physical exercise in the open air each
dav. If she be a business woman and
n confined TO her Office during the day,
let her walk to and from her place of
business. She should walk with her
shoulders well back and step briskly on
the ball of her foot.
Breathing Is another important item;
all breathing should be from the dia-
uhragm. She should keep her mouth
closed. inhaling and exhaling through
the nostrils. She will find by so doing
that no matter how far or how fast she
NAV walk, her breath will not give
out" as is the case hen breathing i'm
properly.
A young woman who pays proper at
tentiOn to exercise and diet need not
worry about her complexion.
Most women eat too much. or course
a diet that would be beneficial to one
person might be injurious to another
but if easily digested foods are selected
and all things avoided that are not
adapted to a persons own system,
health and strength must be the result
The girl who values her complexion
and particularly the girl who suffers
from skin eruptions of any kind, should
avoid all kinds of wines. Alcohol
causes the skin to lose purity and
freshness, to become thick, muddy and
spotty. Girls do not require stimu-
lants of this kind and are all the bet.

first production at the Grand Opera
House before three big audiences.
rozens of new songs have been written
for this production and have already
gained great popularity. Eight hun
dred and forty people rehearsing DAY

song but The Wilmingtonians' music
seems to be simply irresistible. ana
one cannot walk up street without
hearing some of the catchy airs whis-
tied or hummed. The popular salute
that one hears on every side is Are

The features contributing TO the bill

FOUND TREASURE BOX.

Easket Containing Diamond and Brace
 let Picked Up by Clam-Digger.
 While digging for clans on the beach near Tuxis Island, off Madison, Friday, James Wilson, of 1S0 Lamberton street. made an unexpected. find. Under a stone Wilson found metal box within which was wooden casket. This con- tained an unset diamond. bracelet. some copper coins and newspaper clipping. Wilson took the box home. The island is used as a camping ground for the boys of the Young Mems Chris tian association.
 Tradition has it that the island was once inhabited by a man who desired to conceal his fortune from his wife. He died, so 1t is related, without disclosing the place where he hid the box.
 It appears that the story that there was a treasure hidden near the island has been known for some time and that searches had been made for it, but none of the parties who made the hunt had any success. Wilson was not aware that there was a box hidden in the To- cality, and the discovery by him was quite by accident.
 Wilson is a son of William H. Wilson. fish dealer. Already members of the r. M. c. A. claim the treasure box and it's contents, but Wilson has not yielded it up. ;. ...- ; .,

EXCITEMENT IN VATICAN.

 without the Walls.

Wttn0ut tne NaUs.
 Rome, July 5.--In these days when the life of the venerable pontiff. Pope Leo. hangs by thread the excitement and perturbation which prevails within the vatican is. as may be imagined, intense. While the illustrious patient lies in a quiet chamber asstduously and affec- tionately watched and attended by his favorite physician, Dr. Lapponi, and his trusted valet, Pic Centra, the rest of the vast palace is in a state of continual unrest. Telegrams are following each other in quick succession from the for- eign powers, high church dignitaries or mere individuals, and are being read and answered by busy staff of secre- taries. Carriages are driving up inces- sanity to the court of St. Damasco onto which the apartments of the pope open. Ecclesiastical dignitaries of various ranks are standing in anxious crowds about the doors of the palace in the hope of obtaining the latest news. Mon signors are hurrying to and from the palace, all making anxious inquiries. All sorts and conditions of men are waiting about the doors or in the vast piazza in front of St. Peters seeking scraps of in- telligence. .. X The Swiss guards in their brilliant black, red and yellow uniforms are pac- ing up and down before the portals re- ceiving the eager inquiries with their customary imperturbable calmness. F
