WITH THE BEAUTY DOCTOR
Some Hints as to Keeping and Getting
Well and a Word About Aids to
a Good Appearance.

The teeth are usually brushed
across; they should also be brushed
up and down, as this stroke will re
move any foreign substance that the
cross stroke has missed.
For a rough skin lather the face
well with a good soap and a drop or
two of glycerin, rinse off and dust the
face with oatmeal, rinse again and dry
with a soft towel.
The exercise of keeping the elbows
straight and throwing the arms back
until the back of the hands just touch
below the waist line is good to
straighten round shoulders.
In researches on different methods
of preparing food a physician has
proved that both beef and fish are

THE ROOM IN THE ROOF.
Some Suggestions for Turning Bare
Attic Space Into a Delightful
Little Lounging Place.

Does anyone realize how charming the
despised attic can be? What a delight
full place to linger in, to sit in, to sleep in.
The isolation Of it lends charm, and the
very slope of the roof seems tender in its
close embrace. Drape the slope with
lace, silk and ribbons, and behold the
prettiest slepeing place in the world.
Does anyone speak of wounded
knuckles or bruised head? Itis not nee
essary that hair should be dressed under
the slope, or that that particular corner
should be chosen for standing upright in.
Lie in the cosy corner under the slope,
and cover it as much as possible with a
soft, light drapery.
Suppose that on the farther side of the
room the door is in the middle, facing the
window, then on n side of the door
there can be a wardrobe and on the other
a writing table. The illustration shows
an original idea for the back of a bureau,
and it would be just suitable for a girls
or boys attic. The reredos $50 to speak,

Mrs Mfarmer DMrs. Ella Lee I

An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, eve by her family physician.
This is especially the case with un-
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
SO that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
imam n physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.

the only time L was not in pain was when
under the influence of morphine. The doctor

given up in despair, but one evening I came
across one of your advertisements and decided
to write you for advice. l did SO and COM

it is all due to your advice and medicine.
Mrs. j. H. Farmer of 2SO9 Elliott

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
:" cannot thank you enough for what your
advice and medicines have done for me,
They have done me more good than all the
doctors I ever had.
"For the last eight years I have suffered
with female troubles; was very weak; had

work; but I am happy to say Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has made a
different woman of me. l am in perfect
health and have gained in weight from 80
pounds to 122 pounds"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-

has such a record for actual cures of

H SIMPLE LIFE.
Ways That Are Pleasant and Paths
That Are Peace.

1t is the simple life that gives length
of days, serenity of mind and body
and tranquility of soul.
Simple hopes and ambitions, bound
ed by the desire to do good to ones
neighbors, simple pleasures, habits,
food and drink.
Men die long before their time be-
cause they try to crowd too much into
their experiences-they climb too high
and fall too hard. A wise woman
writes of the good that a simple diet
has done her:
Il have been using Grape-Nuts for
about six months. l began rather
sparingly, until l acquired such a lik-
ing for it that for the last three
months I have depended upon it al
most entirely for my diet, eating moth
ing else whatever, but Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and believe !
could eat it for dinner with fruit and
be satisfied without other food, and
feel much better and have more
strength to do my homework.

Nuts | was thin and weak, my muscles
were SC soft that | was not able to dc
any work. l weighed only 10S pounds
Nothing that l ate did me any good
/ was going down hill rapidly, was
nervous and miserable, with no ambi
ton for anything. My condition i'm.
proved rapidly after / began to eaI
Grape-Nuts food. 1t made me feel like
a new woman; my muscles got solid
my figure rounded out, my weight in
creased to 126 pounds in a few weeks
my nerves grew steady and my mint

ALL OFF WITH THE TARIFF.
Some Facts Which Are Becoming
Forced Home Upon the
People.

Apparently there is to be no early
tariff revision by congress. The
.'stand-patters" are having their own
way. They have evidently compelled
the president to acquiesee in their
views, and it is now announced that
an extra session of congress, if called
10 assemble next October, will consider
only the enactment of a railroad freight
rate bill.
The necessity for a Encouragement
of the tariff schedules is o n the less
imperative, says the Washington Post.
Object lessons continue to be placed
before the American people. Here, for
instance, is the consul ct Port Limon,
Costa Rica, informing us that a Bos-
ton corporation which controls the
banana plantations and output in Co.'S
Ia Rica is buying an American product
abroad, because it a ave money
thereby. 1T has happened" writes the
consul, that American rails have been
bought at a lower figure on the Eng
fish market than in the United States"
There is no question as to the accuracy
of this statement. Evidence to the
same effect has been presented in al
most innumerable instances. 1t means
chat the manufacturers of steel rails,
protected by a high tariff wall, are
compelling our own people to pay
higher prices than foreign purchasers.
1t is a remarkable state of affairs when
an American corporation goes abroad
10 buy an American product because
that article is offered abroad at a low.
er price than it can be purchased at
home.
How long will the American people
stand this imposition? The men who
enjoy the benefits of extreme protec.
ton may think that they can linden.
nitely continue to add to their fortunes
by this method, but they will meet
with a sad awakening. The time will
come when the tariff burden. grown
too heavy to be endured. will be sud
denly thrown aside. The "stand-pat.
ters' and ever the advocates of mod,
crate revision will find themselves il
q LhlHoliIy' 1He peoples VIII have Z
habit in this country of occasionally
going to extremes, will cause the tariff
pendulum to swing far in the direc
ton of free trade. 1t would be wise
for the extreme protectionists to reaG
and heed the handwriting on the wall
The tariff is not, as some people
seem to think, a safe and sacred thing
The people will take the matter il
hand if the republican majority fail:
to appreciate the situation. They viii
send representatives to congress wit
will handle the tariff with unglovet
hands. This is almost certain to b.
the case if the next congress is char
acterized by inaction. The republican
leaders ought to revise the tariff while
they possess the power to control pub
lie affairs.

TORTURE
PAIN SUFFERED BY MR.. MARST0R
AS GREAT AS MORTAL CAN STAND.
For Six Months He Could Not Turn in

For Six Months He Could Not Turn in
Bed-He Tells of n Remedy Which
Has Given Perfect Relief.
The case of Mr.. Marston shows that
sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about a
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any mar could possibly stand.
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: al was attacked by a
numbness or dull feeling just back of my
right hip. l didn't know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply a
stiffness that would wear away in a
short time. 1t didn't, however, and
soon the pain became so very bad that
every step was torture for me. When I
finally succeeded in getting home, ii was
Just as much as I could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
"The doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said l had sciatica.
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to try to leave my bed. The advice was
unnecessary for I couldn't get out of
bed if l wanted to. 1t was impossible for
ME to turn from one side to the other.
The moment | attempted to move any
part of my body, the pain became so ex-
cr~uciating that I would have to lie per-
fectly motionless.
81 suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then 1 dis
charged the doctor, and ON the advice of
a friendI bought a box of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, three
at q dose, three times a day. I was de-
termined to give them a thorough trial.
1.-TWO months after I began to use
them I was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and amonth later
Twas entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. Think DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine I evel
used, and I heartily recommend them tc
anyone who suffers from sciatica."
Mr.. Marston is a prosperous farmer
and may be reached by mail addressed
to Charles P. Marston, Hampton P. O.,
New Hampshire. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have cured other painful nervous
disorders, such as neuralgia, partial par.
alysis and locomotor ataxia. They are
sold by all druggists.

bacon. Then he simply put in a few
shovelsful of hot Goals and his smoking
material, cobs, and that is about all
there is to it. The fire is easily att enae .a;
