BEAUTIFUL HAIR.
Sarah Bernhardt's Beauty Doctor
Tells How to obtain 1t.

That luxuriant head Of hair is wO-
mans crownlng beauty none disputes,
least Of all the unfortunates who do
not possess one.
Some words of a beauty specialist
who for many years has ministered to
the charms of the divine Sarah" may
therefore be of interest. He recently
gave some points on the care of the
hair to the correspondent of an Eng
lish journal.
First and foremost, he deprecates too
much washing, a process which causes
the hair to lose it's suppleness for some
days and be more apt to break
Next to be commended is the habit
some women practice of coaxing short
hairs to remain in place by wetting
them. This not only superinduces neu-
ralgia, but is most harmful to the bair,
causing it to rot and to fall out.
The specialist also says that cutting
strength to the hair Of a healthy wom-
an. Every three months or so the ends
should be singed. singularly enough.
the scalp is said to require air, which
must be permitted access either by al
lowing the hair to hang loose down the
back for some time daily or by giving
1t good deal of attention in the way
Of brushing and combing
To restore the luster of the hair after
washing 1t may be anointed slightly at
night on retiring with a lotion COM

THE WEDDING CHEST.
A Sentimental and at the Same Time
Sensible Idea.

a mental ana at the Same Time
Sensible Idea.
Quite sensible idea for engaged
girls is the wedding chest, and even
girls who are not engaged are the Sc
cret possessors of this sentimental and
at the same time sensible article. The
wedding chest may be fine new
trunk of the latest style or it may be q
plain wooden affair. prettily covered
and lined with t1oweied chintz.
The idea is to fiji the chest with pret
and decoration of a home One girl is
filling hers with dainty clothing which
she is makin herself Another is buy
ing ornaments and knickknaclls from
time to time and filing her chest with
them. Not only things TO Wear. such
as gloves lingerie ana dainty hosiery
but pieces OF lace. tapestry squares for
covering sofa pillows AMI handsome
table covers, are receiving the atten-
ton Of bonny Scotch maiden.

and bric-a=brac go in the chest of an
other maiden
Thus the girls are slowly collecting
pretty things and saving them for use
in their homes. AS a rule their friends
know of the chests and take pleasure
in helping to fill them. although some
Of the girls like to feel that everything
was bought with their own money.

PANAMA SANITARY CONDITIONS.

The magnitude of the sanitary prob
lem which exists upon the isthmus OF
Panama. and which must be solved
at least in part as successful prelude
to construction operations, is just be-
ginning to come home to officials in
Washington. Army and naval sur
geons, who have made recent visits
TO the isthmus, found such fearful
conditions not alone in Colon and
Panama, but along the route of the
Panama railroad that they felt it in
cumbent upon themselves to make vol
unteer reports of what they observed.
A naval surgeon presents picture
ing the surgeon general of the navy
declines to permit his report to be
made public.
He says. moreover. that the condi-
tions existing in the cities is to De
found along the entire line of the
Panama railroad in slightly modified
form. All Of the streams Cn the 18TH
mus from which water must be taken
for domestic purposes are polluted to
a dangerous extent and It will require
the expenditure of millions Of dollars
to correct this evil alone. The ma
tives have gone on fer generations
multiplying the sources Of cOntagion,
wiln the result that the isthmus is
world. An immediate problem that
will confront the sanitary engineers
will be the destruction of the myriads
of mosquitoes that breed in the low
swamps lying back of Colon and en-
tending inland for distance of near
ly twelve miles.
The war department authorities are
greatly concerned over this and other
reports WHlCn nave recently ftdcueu
Washington, and, previous to the sail
ing of the Third regiment for the 18TH
mus proposes to take steps for the
preservation of the health and the
lives of the soldiers Camps are to
be located with the utmost care and
all unhealthy sites as far as possible
will be avoided The American Medi-
cal association foresaw the possibli-
ties of the Panama route as a disease
breeder and at its last annual con
gress adopted resolutions urging up
on the president the necessity for ap-
pointing medical expert member
Of the canal commissi H. The associa-
tion recommended the appointment Of

Charcoal.

All sorts Of glass vessels and other
utensils can be purified by rinsing
them well with charcoal powder. Rub
bing the teeth and washing out the
mouth with fine charcoal powder will
beautify the former and purify the
breath. Putrid water can be imme-
diately deprived of its bad smell by
charcoal and few pieces of char
coal placed on meat, fish, etc, that
are beginning to spoil will preserve
them and absorb all the strong odors
A tablet of willow charcoal taken
twice daily will purify the stomach
and aid digestion.

Color For Sleeping Rooms.

For sleeping rooms white is said to
be the most sanitary color. as it is the
most restful and least absorbent of

washed up with salt and water Have

Cough Gently.

Few people know how to cough prop
erly. In fact, it never occurs to the or
dinaly individual that there are right
way and Il wrong way of doing it. Yet
it is Il matter of no small Importance.
If every sigh means drop of blood out
of the heart, as people say, every cough
means some greater or less proportion
of time knocked off ones life. Most
people cough as loudly and forcibly as
they can. Some chronic cougher., seem
bit proud of the terrible noise they
make. But it is IL rather costly noise,
for the simple reason that it tears and
infames the lungs.
The lungs consist of an eNtraordina-
yrily delicate spongelike tissue, which
sometimes gets inllamed and cholSed
with phlcgm. When we try to get rid
OF this substance we cough. But, OBJ
viously, if we remove ii violently we
must necessarily iniurc the delicate
lung tissue Therefore train yourself
to cough as gently as possible. After Il
little practice YOU Will find it quito easy
to do SO. ln that way you will do
minimum OF mischief to the lungs and
add years to your life.

a Rare Old Instrument.

Our townsman, Louis LePage, is TIE
proud possessor of violin that would
make water come to the mouth of con-
noiseurs of fine antiquities. 1t was
made in Paris in l77:37, by Antonio:stra-
divarius, pupil of Nicolo Amati, born
at Cremano, Italy, and the first violin
maker of that country.
When the young folks of this county
trip the light fantastic toe many Of
them are unaware that the magic and
inspiration of the hour is not all;caused
by Louis artful manipulation of the
bow, but it's the combined spirit of old
Amati aud Stradivarius that "puts tie

should see this rare old gem.

MIR. Firth. Portrait Of Dickens.

1t was early in the fifties that John
Forster asked me to paint portrait Of
Dickens for him. gladly consented
and was about to propose day for the
first sitting when Forster stopped me
by mentioning what he called a most
unfortunate propensity which Dickens
had developed-he was actually grow
ing mustache! Ills just fancy Of
the moment" said Forster, "and we
must wait till the craze has passed
away" \ very few months convinced
us that the mustache. so far from pass
ing away. was rapidly growing into
what threatened to be formidable
beard. so. unless one-half of the face
was to be lost to us, no more time
should be lost. My idea was to paint
him in his working clothes. but when
l found that he always Wore light
bright blue silk coat with big red cuffs
every morning when he took pen in
hand l demonstrated so successfully
that after Il little hesitation he con-
sented to wear the black jacket in
which he now appears at South Ken
sington.-W. T. Firth, r. A., in King,
His Navy and Army.

T1,in Lips Better Than Thick.

In order to articulate We'll one must
be able to move the lips With the great
est facility. A person With thick lips
cannot move them quickly; there is too
much of them, and the muscles which
move them are clogged and have no
fair chance of performing their work.
Thin lips are easily worked, SO as to
allow the mouth to be quite free for
the emission Of the sounds that make
words, and consequently the possessor
OF them can speak nuently. A mustache
and a beard which covers the under
lip to the mouth are both hindr2nce
to clear speaking. They impede the
articulation i'll the same way as thick
lips, and the words get partly lost.

also the entire bush, in most formi-

One os TIL. National Homes.

Leslie's Weekly contains very eN-
cellent description of the Johnson City,
Tenn, National Soldiers Home from
which we CLEAN the following:
"For eighteen months one .5thousand
men, under the skillful management of
Mr.. s. j. Parduo, general superintend-
ent for Mr.. John G. Unkefer, Minevah,
o., whose contract amounted 9to over
81 100000, have been at work. The
accommodations of the new home when
completed will be fors $500 inmates
"A limited number have been admitted
since October 18th, 1908, owing to the
extreme demand, and as the work ad-
vances more will be cared for. The
total cost of the home complete will be
S3,OOO,OOO, and it will comprise many
buildings among which are: Eight bar
racks, messhall, hospital group cf four
ward buildings and surgeons quarters,
administration building. power house,
laundry, store, five buildings for Of
ticers' and nurses quarters, national
board hall. chapel, three lodges, several
stables, conservatory and opera house,
banhstand, and morgue. Mr. Carnegie
has presented the home with $4,000 for
a library. This is the only donation of
the kind he has ever made free from
restrciions.''
There is no reason why Hot Springs
may not expect fully as much to come
OF the National Sanitarium now in
course of construction at this place.
Next summer hundreds of men will
have to be employed to crowd along the
work of construction, and before the
present contract is completed there
will be other large appropriations made
for necessary buildings. Improvement
and beautifying of grounds and many
other things that are already Impress
ing the National Board that must be
done. This National Sanitarium is go
ing to be much more sought after by
the veterans than any other home-a
fact which is already apparent from
the numerous applications and inquir
les made from all parts of the Union
about gaining admission here.

down on its little stomach it is a sign
that it is going to be musician; If 1t
