SYNOPSIS.

SYNOPSIS.
Esther was born in Persia 500
years before Christ. Being an
orphan from infancy, she was
adopted by her uncle Mordecai,
who recognizing her great nat
ural beauty, trained her in
the accomplishments of highest
womanhood. She was chosen by
the king of the realm to be his
wife and queen. She did not
disclose her nationality. Haman
was premier and favorite Of the
king. Haman hated Mordecai
because he would not worship
him as the king had commanded.
He did not know Mordecai's re-
lation to the queen. To be re-
venged he obtained decree for
destroying all the Jews in the
provinces. Mordecai discovers
the plot and charges the queen TO
petition the king for the safety of
her people, which she does at
the peril of her life, on account
of the law that no one shall go
unto the king unbidden. The
king hears her petition and Ha-
man is defeated. Haman has
prepared a gallows for Mordecai.
An attendant informs the king of
the fact. The king orders Ha-
man to be hanged from it and
proclaims Mordecai premier in
his stead. After this the people
rejoice.

I was sufferer from systemic catarrh for years and was in . very much run down condition. I was extremely nervous and had the most foolish fears over nothing. Twas thin and emaciated.

grations is bringing i nmore and more of the brunette races of Europe to our domain. These, far in preponderance over the blond peoples. are blending with our blood and reducing the number of the fair haired and blue eyed type,
 Professor w. J. McGeen. director of anthropology for the St. Louis Exposi- tion. is in doubt about our becoming a brunette race. There is an opposite force at work" said he, "the bleaching of the skin as a result of culture Esthetic development tends to whiten the skin, and the pigmentation of the skin, hair and eyes seems to correlate. Cult ure would. therefore, tend to produce a blond race. while vigor. on the other hand, would help to establish a brunette race Increased vigor seems to cause increased pigmentation, and we are the most vigorous people on earth. So, you see, there are two forces at work"
 No Standard for All Races.
 Professor McGeen regards the Califor- mia girl as representing the highest type of beauty to be found in the world. Tn that State have been most concentrated and intensified all of the forces at work to improve our race-espeoially pioneer influence and admixture of blood.
 pr. R. W. Schufeldt, the biologist, discussed the question as to what at- IrlDuteS QlHerenL races achnOWle0Be 10 be beautiful:
 Tt really seems that the lower the race in the scale of civilization the more fixed and restricted are their ideas in this direction. On the other hand, the majority. of the men at least, among the Europeans. to which race we be- long. see beauty in the greatest variety of women of other countries than their own.''
 But the American girl, as we'll as her foreign sisters of the same race, Is not beautiful fin the eyes of all of the peoples of the earth. according to Dr. Schufeldt. The American Indian regards her skin as too light. The black men of Africa re- gard her nose as too long and her lips too thin. native of Cochin-China once spoke with contempt of the beauty of the British ambassadors wife. He com plained that she had white teeth like a dogs" and "a rosy color like that of potato flowers"
 Thus it would seem that beauty Is not only skin deep. but that 1t is without honor save among It's own race.

 How to Gauge Your Figure.
 Probably not one in a million of our sisters so zealously striving for beauty of figure has any notion as to whether she Is approaching the canons or ideal standards of proportion laid down by artists and anthropologists. The length of the face from the chin to the roots of the hair was the favorite unit of the ancient sculptors, who estimated that the height of the entire human fissure should be from nine to ten faces" the length of the arm from the shoulder to the point of the middle finger four faces" and so on.
 Dr. Robert Fletcher, the well known anthropologist. calls attention to the fact that the Greek sculptor in mod cling a perfect human form, followed the rule that the height of the head should be one-eighth of the entire stature.
 But modern statistics show that a we'll formed human being should meas ure seven and one-half heads to the entire stature" he says. ''The Greek sculptor. therefore. YVES either in error or modern civilization has developed the head at the expense of the trunk and limbs'
 To diagnose the beauty of her figure, our fair sister must then divide the number of inches in her entire stature by those in the height of her head. If the quotient be "S' she may congrat- ulate herself upon conforming to the

Everybody Is Tired - Spring Weather Does It-Every One
 Should Re Cautions

Depression of the nervous system at the approach of spring is the cause.
 General lassitude, dull, heavy sensa- tions, continual tired feeling, with ir- regular appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep. Peruna meets every indication and proves itself to be perfectly adapted to all their varied peculiarities. Peruna invigorates the system, rejuvenates the feelings, restores the normal appetite and produces regular sleep.
 That tired feeling which is the natural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immediately after the inviRor- ating cold of winter, quietly disappears when Peruna is taken. Thousands are daily testifying to its priceless benefit. "Pe-ru-na Keeps Me In Perfect Health" 1" Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1909 W. 18th street, Des Moines, Ia., writes: "I am happy to give my endorsement for your valuable medicine, Peruna, as consider 1t a val uable medicine to take when the system is run down from overwork. About two years ago felt that I must take a long rest as had been unable to work for over 8 month and could not regain my strength. I could not sleep at night and was in very nervous, high strung, condition. decided to try what Pe- runa would do to build up my strength, and am pleased to say that began to improve very shortly, and in less than two months was able to take up my work, and felt better than I have for years. I take it now twice year and find that it keeps me in perfect health" Mrs. Kassatt was for over ten years the manager of a plant furnishing ladies' wear and employing hundreds of women.

ComparinR theaa measurements with those of A number or young women in New England school or gymnastics selected as being ..excen- tionally well built" 1t Is discovered ina, all of those having the stature of tbe venus de Medici have necks too tbIcE and chests. waists. hips, extended arms Iorearms. and wrists too small; that nearly all are too small in the thigh ana cali. The combined statistics from several of our institutions for the higher education of women show the same con ditions for the average woman feet a Inches tall, save that her thighs are foo large. t'O
 But returning to DrD. Fletcher: Ona point which he made would indicate a possibility of giving our daughters in- creased statures, if family characteristics tend toward stunted growth. The measurements of a million men enlisted under the War Department show that those from Vermont, New Hamnsbire and Kentucky were copspicuously taller than the remainder. and that the districts producing these tallest soldiers cores pond with those where there are un- deriving deposits of lime. Moral: Rear young daughters where they may drink good. hard water. well tinctured with lime; for lime makes bone and bone makes stature.
 American Beauty ExceIs Grecian,
 American women are more beautiful than those of ancient Greece or Rome Our growing standard of beauty appeals just as much to cultured foreigners at 1t does to Americans themselves. The American girl Is envled by her European sisters because while abroad she attracts European men"
 If a comparison could be made be- tween the typical American and the typical Greek woman ours would doubtless prove the more beautiful" opined pr. Theodore N. Gill, the eminent biologist of the Smithsonian The artists assume a certain standard of an- cient beauty, but the ancients probably did not judge beauty from individual Iiv- ing types. Their standard was most probably complex, embodying the most beautiful features or characteristics of various individuals"
 Tight lacing. in pr. Gill's opinion. can not produce in the form of woman A change that can be inherited. Each healthy girl of our civilization will con tinue to be born with a properly propor- tioned waist. just as for centuries each healthy Chinese girl baby has continued to come into the world with properly shaped feet.

 All present signs of the times would seem to justify the prediction that this period in which we live can be prop erly classed by future historians as ''The Age of the Quest of Beauty" par excellence.
 The physical culture specialists and artists have monopolized the floor of late in the discussion of the all absorb ing problems of the "godlike human form" They may yield now. for a moment. to the anthropologists, to which paramount question savants are beginning to turn their attention.
 Probably the most serious and pro- found scientific investigation of the why's and wherefores of feminine beau ty yet attempted is that being made by pr. c. H. Stratz, a German anthropo- logist and embryologist who has for several years been collecting photo graphs and measurements of the beau tiful women of all lands and climes that he may analyze them with purely scientific scrutiny and apply to them the canons established by eminent art lsts and anthropometric specialists Through the Smithsonian Institution pr. Stratz has lately. collected photo-. graphs of the nude Indian figure But what interests us especially are those depicting the beautiful attributes of pur own race. especially those which he has designated as most nearly ap- preaching the ideal outlines.

There is not a tracing of that serpentine curve which masters have laid down as the line of beauty" but Is diagram showing the stages of wo- mans comeliness as related to her age According to this the average woman attains, the height of beauty between her 25th and 3Oth year.
 For greatest beauty of the mouth pr. stratz selects the portrait of a young Parisian. The lips are full, but not yensuous. The upper lip is deep. The outlines of the crescent are pronounced In this ravishing mouth. It neither Troops nor tends upward at the corn FITS. Its beauty is enhanced by deep ly chiseled depression extending to the nose and beautifully molded chin be- heath.
 For ideal proportions of the head and Jetting of the eyes he selects another Parisian face. There is here a fore head full and perpendicular, a deep set eye, a straight nose and a perpendicu- lar outline of the upper lip and chin. The brows are slightly arched and fall we'll apart, and there is generous Ipace between the checks and deep set bars.
