If You Would Be Beautiful.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the tremendous need of simple. substan- tial food and sufficient rest. The aver age young woman of to-day is as busy as a bee. Beauty is only another name for health. and to overtax the system is like putting S99 in the bank and drawing out Sl00: you never get ahead that way. Few women eat what is best for them. They ribble on sweets and pastries, keeping the stomach in a continual state of strife and turmoil Instead of bon bons and cakes, eat fresh fruit and drink mineral waters 4 daily bath is d great aid to beauty Rub the body well with moistened salt jump into the tub and turn on a tepi4 spray. chilling grad tally.

Every mother possesses information which is of vital interest to her young daug hter.
 Too often this is never imparted or is withheld until serious harm has result ed to the growing girl through her ignorance of natures mysterious and wonderful laws and penalties.
 Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty often puzzle their mothers and haffle physicians, as they so often withhold their confidence from their mothers and conceal the symptoms which ought to be told to their physician at this critical period.
 When a girls thoughts become slug gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis position to sleep pains in back or lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude {; when she is a mystery to herself and friends, her mother should come to her aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound will at this time prepare the system for the coming change. and start the menstrual period in young girls life without pain or irregularities.

Oatmeal for the Face.

Oatmeal has very cleansing proper ties. as you may see by mixing some with water. tying it ia a bag and letting the water be impregnated with il, and then washing the dirtiest embroideries. lace or fine musHns in the deeoction they become quite clean, as with bran. IL draws out the dirt equally well from the face A good plan is to have some oat- meal powder on the washing-stand and mix a tablespoonful with the lukewarm water in which you wash the face. It is very improving to the complexion. The water should be tepid, about a table spoonful to quart is about the propor- ton. dry with a soft cloth and rub the face till quite warm.

 Cure Both.

The steady use of a particular set of muscles tends to chronic fatigue, which produces faulty or difficult motion, trembling, cramps and even paralysis. Writers, telegraphers, tallors and seam- stresses are among the classes most threatened ill this way with the loss of their power tt earn living. The fol- lowing instance shows that nerve power may be recovered after It seems entirely lost, If the right means are taken. Mrs. o. $. BlaekSten, ef No 5S4 North Bow man street, Mansfield, Ohio says:
 !" For years my hands would become so numb at times that l would drop anything l attempted to lift. Later they became so bad that 1 could not sew any longer, and at last 1 could scarcely do anything at all with my hands. At night the priclling sensations would come on worse than eve1, and my hands and arms would pain so that l dreaded to go to bed My family doctor gave ne some nerve tablets. They helped me a little, but only for short time after l had taken them and if 1 happened to be without them for day or two l would be as bad a. ever or even worse. Finally I got box of Dr. Williams Pink Pills and began to take them.
 1.-The result was surprising. By the time 1 had taken the last pill i'll my first box I could see a gain. Thanks to Dr. Williams Pink Pills, l am now all right. I can sleep undisturbed by pain and for two years I have been as well as ever.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills feed the nerves by making new, rich blood and i'll this way have cured nervous diseases of every description from simple rest lessness to paralysis. They have ban ished the sortures of neuralgia, the weakness of nervous prostration, the disability and awful pain of locomotor ataxia.
