Smoke Stories.

According to accounts the Japanese
are experts in smoke rings, and in ia
pan it is considered no uncommon trick
to blow three rings of smoke in sue
cession. the second travelling through
the first and the third through both.
Some stage performers become so ex-
pert IL smoke blowing that they are
not only able to multiply the number
Of rings thus formed, but actually form
Japanese characters representing
words and even sentences. One Japa-
nese jugsler, it is declared, proposed
to his wife by forming the characters
representing his avowal of love
through thin stream of smoke.

Certainly very annoying and un-
slightly trouble is the condition OF thu
skin of the face and sometimes the
body, known as acne or pimples. A
curious feature of this disorder is that
1t seldom is found in children or people
who have passed middle life, although
1t Is not unknown to BOTH! .**S.
Youths, young men and women, suf-
fer greatly sometimes, and the skin of
the face presents very unsfghtly ap-
pearance. The cause in some cases is
found in unhyglenic surroundings, poor
ventilation, bad habits, poor food, i'm.
proper methods of eating and nearly al
ways constipation. The real cause of
the pimples themselves is an effort upon
the part OF nature to throw of poisonous
matter from the system which should
have been eliminated through other
channels. The pores OF the skin are very
small, especially SO in the case of per-
sons having fine skin, and it's normal
function is to excrete waste matter in
the insensible perspiration.
Under excessive heat or exertion, or
even great mental excitement, the &C.
tivity Of the pores of the skin is greatly
Increased, and sensible perspiration
flows freely. It is very common to lay
the blame upon impure blood" and I
recently received letter from an east
ern subscriber asking advice for the
case Of friend, stating that her physi-
clan had prescribed "Fowler's Solu-
ton" with apparently favorable results.
Now, "Fowler's Solution" is simply ar
senic put up according to formula CIV
en- years ago by DR.. Fowler, when it was
fashfonamble~f for ladies to be indolent
and helpless, with pale, waxy complex
ions, and it will certainly bring about
that result. OF course, you can readily
guess what my reply would be. Poison
In all forms should not be prescribed.
1t Is unnecessary, with one or two pos
sible exceptions, under certain condi-
lions which are not likely to occur in
the home treatment of diseases.
Pimples will, as a rule, disappear
from the face, as we'll as other portions
Of the body, If the sufferer will simply
observe the Home Health Club system
of using food and water according to the
plan SO fully described in the lectures.
and all persons who wish to keep a
clear skin must to greater or less ex-
tent observe the natural laws taught.
It Is true that by administering GER
tain harmless home remedies the pim-
pies and red blotches will all disappear
and, in many cases, never return, be-
cause the reason for their appearance
has been overcome. In most cases the
simple, practical method of cleansing
the system of impurities is best and will
add greatly to the general good health.

CLUB NOTES.

Afton.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La
porte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: have been
feeling so we'll the greater part of the
summer, but there has been one thing
annoying me and I don't know the
cause of it. I noticed about a month
ago, when first awoke in the morning
that my hands were numb. thought
nothing of it at first, but it continued
and never missed single morning. In
a few minutes the hands would seem
to be all right, but woulu have two or
three spells while dressing. After a
short time they were all right again
and did not bother any more until the
next morning. The last two weeks
there has been half numb or tingling
sensation in the fingers of right hand
all the time, but worse in the morn
ing The left hand is the same, but
right hand is worse. Can you tell me
what the cause is and what to do for
it? I would also like to ask you about
my aunt. About four weeks ago she
was out driving and the horse suddenly
jerked the line, which seemed to have
been around her index finger. At least
the finger was jerked and sprained, as
we suppose. She has used different
remedies, but the finger is still swollen
and stiff, except at the knuckle. It is
not painful unless she strikes it against
something, but it just sticks out
straight and therefore is knocked q
great deal. What shall we do for It?
Thanking you in advance for these "a
vors. remain. sincerely A. F.
The symptoms which you have de-
scribed would indicate that there is
more or less danger Of a paralytic con-
dition coming on unless you are prop
erly cared for. would suggest that
you procure the services of a skillful
osteopath and take thorough course
Of treatment.
In regard to your aunt, your descrip-
ton of her finger would indicate that
it might be dislocated or fractured. or
possibly the periosteum is injured; and
I think it would be wise for her to 20
to reliable surgeon and have him
make careful examination. If there
is an X-ray machine in the town, it
would be Of value to determine wheth-
er or not it was a dislocation, and is
the place to 60. It may be that she
has merely injured the l.gaments. and
that 1t may be all right in the course
Of time. If I were to suggest a remedy
for it, it would he one of the tissue ele-
ments to take out the inflammation.
