SUGGESTIONS FOR THE LADIES

Fresh Air.-A very important thing
to remember in your efforts toward
health and beauty, is the ventilation
OF the sleeping-room. Don't think
that because the room is cold enough
to give you the creeps you are getting
fresh air. Open the window top and
bottom, even though you have to pile
on the blankets foot deep.
Fresh Cream.-A simple but excel.
lent preparation for the face is made
by sleeping handful of fresh rose
petals in q half-cup OF pure sweet
cream. Apply to the face and hands
just before retiring for the night. 1t
not only imparts delicacy and soft.
ness to the skin, but also delightful
fragrance that is very refreshing.
Bath Bags.-Save all broken bits OF
toilet soap for bath bags. Take one
quart OF bran, one ounce powdered
orris root, one-half ounce almond meal
and four ounces oatmeal. Add TO it
the broken bits of soap. Make small
cheese cloth bags and fill with the
mixture. This makes the best skin
beautifier ever invented, If constantly
used.
Tangled Hair.-When the hair is
tangled some persons make the great
mistake of trying to comb it from the
roots. What should at all times be
done is to begin to comb at the ends,
then, by little and little, gradually
comb higher up until the head is
reached. This a much easier way I'd
would save half the hair that is often
combed out.
The Face.-A good way to preserve
the skin from lines, and to prevent the
face from becoming set and old, is to
give the face perfect rest four or five
time day. No matter how busy
your life is, lie down, if possible, if
only for five minutes at q time. Re.
lax the muscles, close the eyes and
keep the face in repose. II this is
done daily it will prevent the haggard
look noticeable with too many women.
Borax Best for the Toilet.-Howeve
excellent it may be in the proper
sphere, ammonia was never intended
for toilet purposes. Sal soda, or wash
ing soda, as it is sometimes called, is
much nicer than ammonia, and is
cheaper. Borax is better than either,
if you want TO see how ammonia treats
things, put few drops on cloth and
rub painted floor; it will take the
paint off in an instant. That ought
to teach sensible women that it will
dry out and render the skin liable to
crack.

The Astor properties now increase

MAxlM'S FLYING MACHINE.
It Will Be a Leading Attraction at the Lew
and Clark Fair.

Among the many novelties at the
Lewis and Clark Fair will be Sir
HIRAM Maxim's flying machine,
which, to render it safe and serviceable
to the public, will be captive and only
rise to a reasonable height for birds.
eye view Of the country for hundreds
of miles around.
Briefly described, the flying machine
consists OF a great central structure
$50 feet in height, with ten projecting
arms, from each of which is suspended
an " sir-ship," in which the passengers
take their aerial flight. When ell are
comfortably seated in the luxuriously
fitted ships, the huge arms begin TO
revolve and the ships swing out in
ever widening circles. until the limits
OF the steel cables is reached. When
under full headway the ships travel
more than 500 feet at each revolu-
ton aud by their own momentum are
carried high in the air. Absolute
safety is the paramount feature OF the
machine, declares Sir Hiram Maxim,
the inventor, as it is constructed
throughout of the finest quality OF
high tension steel, every part having
been subjected to tests made many
times more severe than the heaviest
strain upon the machine could possibly
be. There is not even a suggestion
of a jar or jolt throughout the journey,
80 that the ride is delightful from be-
ginning to end. The cars glide gently
through the air, rising and descending
in graceful circles, and the passengers
feel rs if they were sailing through
Fairyland. More than 1000 lights
J of all colors will be utilized in il
Eliminating the machine and sur
rounding, at night.
The machine will be built under the
supervision of skillful mechanics, who
will come from the East for the ex'
press purpose, while it will require a
large force of men to operate it after
it is once set up.
The location selected for this nOvel
attraction ia an ideal one, being at the
end of the Trail and directly opposite
the experimental gardens, so that the
people riding in these air.ships viii
have a matchless view-not only o
the entire Fair grounds, but also o.
the surrounding Landscape within
radius of nearly $50 miles OF the city.
1t may be of interest to know tina
the Fair management is indebted Il
S. II. Friedlander, the theatrical man
ager and amusement promoter, TO
securing this great attraction.
