THEY SAW The SMOKE.
But They Declined to Act Upon the
Warning.

Once Vesuvius destroyed two italian cities
in few hours. The people saw the smoke
from hevolcano but failed to escape in time
Where there is smoke there is fire and
where there are symptoms there is disease.
Here are n few symptoms of one of the
most dangerous of diseases. A feeling of
langour, a sense ofweakness and WEAKNESS,
drowsiness, giddiness and mental discom-
fort. A bad taste in the mouth-the old
"coppery" taste An offensive breath,
headache, neuralgia, heartburn, a feeling
of dullness and weight in the stomach,
nausea, dry and feyerish skin, constipation.
rising of a nasty G 3 into the throat, tongue
furred like the moss on tree, irritability,
disgust with food.
Have you any of these symptoms
Either now or sometimes Eyes" you say,
"but l don't think they are dangerous"
They are signs of danger. They show that
the eruption is coming.
Now what lies at the bottom of all these
symptoms Indigestion, dyspepsia andan
overworled liver. There is but one help,
one remedy. Slow up, and for the mis-
chief already done, tone up the digestive
organs and the liver with Cal-cura Solvent,
discovered by the well-known DR.. Kennedy.

Pansy a Favorlte Color.

Pansy color will be popular this
spring. 1t is a color that is neither a
purple nor lavender, but which sug-
gests the full brown pansy in its soft
est, richest tones. One can get a
great deal Of wear out of a pansy
cloth gown, as it can be trimmed with
one of many colors and frequently
changed. Green, white, black, corn
color and violet all go well with pansy
color
There is a perfect fad for trimming
a gown in such a way that the trim
ming can be taken off and other trim
mings put on. a pansy colored gown
can he trimmed with new green. This
makes a very dressy suit with it's gor-
geOus green vest, while the hat has
its shaded green plume. Later in the
season the green can be removed
and white satin can be applied in it's
place. Now there comes the white
null, or the white lawn shirt waist,
or the shirt waist of white nainsook.
or of any delicate washable material.

BEAUTY EXERCISES.
Face SHINING Restores Complexion
and Removes Wrinkles-An Ad-
vantage over Face Steamng.

According to physical culture orac-
les, one can be beautiful If one wants
to be. One can exercise and become
straight and pretty.
There is the massage treatment,
which any woman can perform upon
her wrinkles. With her finger tips
she can smooth them away. She can
go at them with cold cream and rub
them out of her forehead. She can
succeed in driving them away from
her brow entirely and the same way
with the crows feet around her eyes.
AS for the nose, it can also be mas
saged. But no great deal can be
done for the nose of grown person.
This has been shaped in childhood
and must remain as it is. 1t can be
be improved little by massage and
manipulation, but not materially
changed
Face skinning can be managed with
out the martyrdom of peeling the
face. With a little treatment the old
skin can be taken off and a new skin
put on. There are several ways of
try all ways at once, so that they may
work together and accomplish the de-
sired result.
A woman whose skin was not good
formed the habit of going over it ev-
cry night with a carbolized face wash
She poured out a basin of water and
into this she dropped a very few drops
Cell 1lrt,
of water while the drops of carbolic
numbered only eight or ten. The
druggist is the best authority on this
matter. This acts as an antiseptic
to the face.
Face steaming will renew the skin,
but it makes it very tender ana one
can scarcely go out the same day.
But if one wants to try it the best
way is to take hot cloths and apply
them to the skin. They should not be
hot enough to burn but only to make
the skin hot through and through.
When the face is thoroughly steam
ed it is covered with a lather of soap
Jelly which is washed off with soft
water and bOrax. And. then, a little
good face cream is rubbed in. This
can be done once a week with the
very best results.
The face can be made better as to
its texture by going over it with the
finger tips wet in benzoinated bath.
Take quart of water and drop in
enough benZOin to make it milky.
Dash it on the face. Then massage it
with the finger tips. The result will
be a hardening of the muscles and a
contraction of the open pores of the
skin.
The treatment of the ears is thing
that should be done in childhood. But
If one has neglected it, a great deal
can be accomplished by pinning them
back, as it is called, and by keeping
them pinned back. There can be
made a little nightcap, all of band
ages which are applied to the ears
so as to hold them in place There
are straps that hold back the lobes
Of the ears, keeping them fiat against
the head. In time the ears will be
less protruding.
AS for the figure it is so easy t
make it good and it is such a simple
matter to straighten the shoulder!
make the hips slender and make the
chest full, that one cannot help won
dering why there are any poor figure!
in the world.

TO PROBE EQUITABLE
FULL INVESTIGATION sovonr
Company Joins state In Asking TtaA
Its Affairs Be Subject to
Careful Raxi0te

New York, Aug. 25.-The Equitable
Life Assurance Society to-day Joined,
with the state OF New York in asking
for full investigation in court Of its.
directors and officers and their alleged,
wrong-doings in managing the moneys
Of the society.
The document which announced this,
determination was the answer of the
forty-nine Equitable directors to-
charges made against them in connec-,
tion with a suit brought against tho
Equitable society by the state.
Admission Is made that some ON
OF improper and illegal acts. In all.
thirteen charges are answered by the
directors. Among these answers they
admit the $250.00O loan to the Depew
Investment Company.
They admit the $685.. 900 loan of the
Mercantile Trust Company. but waive
responsibility in this loan SO far as the
board Of directors is concerned. and
indicate Messrs. Alexander, Jordan and
Deming as the persons having the most
intimate knowledge Of these transac-
tions,
The charge that excessive salaries
were paid to officers OF the Equitable
Is not directly answered. but admission
Is made that under guise OF salaries
excessive fees were given to certain
Equitable officials who were also d.
rectors in other companies. In defense
the answer states that these practices
were not known to the whole board Of
directors.
Outlining their belief as to the best
policy to pursue in fixing the blame for
the Equitable scandals. the directors
say first that the blame for alleged
cases OF misconduct will be found to
rest on individual officers, and not
upon the directors as a body. Having
made this explanation. the answer then
admits in a general way the wrong
doing charged.
The first charge specifically an
swered Is that premises on Broadway
were let at Inadequate rentals to the
Mercantile Safe Deposit Company.
This Is admitted. but 1t Is denied that
at the time this lease was made James
II. Hyde. James w. Alexander. William
Alexander. Gage E. Tarbell, Valentine
p. Snyder, Thomas d. Jordan. Charles
B. Alexander. Henry r. Winthrop. Al
win w. Krech and William H. McIn.
tyre were stockholders and directors In
the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company.
As to excessive and unwarranted
loans to agents. the reply admits that
they were made.
The 100000 surplus held by the
Equitable society Is the final item con-
sidered by the directors. and In sub
stance their reply on this charge Ia
that they do not know precisely what
their rights are regarding the surplus,
and that they are willing to leave this
matter for the courts to decide.
In conclusion. the answer says:
Wherefore. this defendant joins in
the prayer OF the plaintiff in this ac-
tion, and thereon submits its rights and
interests in the matters in question to
the judgment OF the court"

Proposed Chinese Parliament.

Pekin, Aug. 30.-The foreign minis

Ching gave in bidding farewell to the
commission starting from China on a
tour OF the world. The principal OBJ
ject Of this mission is to study the
parliamentary proceedings Of the gov
ernments abroad. as the dovsager en-
press intends to issue decree at the
new year for the establishment Of q
parliament twelve years hence. In the
meantime the government will main
tain q body of students abroad for the
purpose Of preparing the country for
parliamentary government.
The commissioners will spend
month in Japan, proceeding thence to
Europe via America. The proposition
was discussed of traversing Canada,
avoiding America on account OF Its
exclusion laws, but the idea was aban-
doned because OF the rigor Of the Ca.
nadian climate. The commission will
be accompanied by . large retinue.
