life, even one of which, being lacking,
what artisan or jeweler could replace?
He realized for the first time the
magic touch that had transformed the
hut into the beautiful palace; that had
made man out of a driveling slave;
that had cast before him jewels of pre-
cious life, gold of love and diamonds
of sparkling faith. Precious lamp of
his soul, she had lighted to him the
magic of the universe; at word she
had conjured faith, life, love, wealth
and honor, and now, at a touch, aye,
at thought, a sinister, unrelenting
thought, all these things seemed to dis
appear from his sight forever.
Alladin sought out the doctor and
cast before him all that he possessed.
Take them,' he cried, take all my
treasures but save my wife"
The doctor shook his head and said,
Il am but the slave of the Drug and
have no power over the soul What
Fate DEGREES will be. have done all
can do"
Alladin departed and it seemed to
him as If he was wandering out into
the wilderness. The world was DESC
late and drear and seemed a vast des-
ert to his weary eyes, but still he
hoped on and, one day, after the doctor
had come and gone again, it seemed
as If he saw again in the distance the
spires of his wonderful magic palace,
but 1t was far, far away. He seemed
to travel onward, hoping against hope.
Each day hope grew nearer to his
sight until at length, with a joyous cry,
he ran to embrace his wife, beautiful
in his own eyes, in the fullness of her
restored health.
The dread disease was dead.
BY the touch of this magic joy he
was again transported back to his old
happy self and the people that see
him now wonder at the light in his
eyes and the JOY in his face
He knows the value of his treasure,
he can feel the magic in her eyes and
touch and he has counted the wealth
of her love In the measure of her beau
tiful deeds.
He sees, he is awake and he realizes
He is tender, he is thoughtful, he is
thankful
Oh. thrice happy Alladin, what treas
ures, indeed, can compare to the magic
of these?

Seaside Home for Tuberculous Chill

A unique experiment is being con-
Quoted by one of New York's leading
philanthropic organizations down on
the shore of West Coney Island.
Here the ocean waves, the salt sea air,
the clean, white sand, the life-giving
sunshine and fresh air, aided by skill
full physicians and tender nurses care
and nourishing food, are doing all they
can to restore to health and normal
vitality forty-three child sufferers from
that dread disease-tuberculo Not
the pulmonary form, for such cases are
not benefited by sea air; but tubercu-
losis Of the bones, joints, muscles and
glands.
There are over 1000 such children
in New York city alone. A conserva-
tive estimate places the number of
such sufferers in this country at $4,000
to $4,000.
The purpose of this seaside home, as
described in the American Queen, is
% To prove that it is possible by salt
sea air treatment and proper food to
cure even desperate cases of surgical
tuberculosis. (2) To convince con.
sumptive adults that their neglect of
simple precautions inflicts upon their
helpless children another dreadful form
of their own malady, which, un
checked, will cripple and main their
offspring for life. (3) To attract the
attention of philanthropists, city off.
Gals and private hospitals to the i'm
portance of providing inexpensive out
door sea-air treatment for children suf
fering from non-pulmonary forms of
tuberculosis.
AS early as 1861, French physicians
conceived the idea of sea-air treatment
for tuberculosis, and established a hos.
pital at Brock, near Calais. Since then
many others have been constructed, so
that at the present time there are
many of them along the French coast.
That for the city of Paris alone accom-
modates $50 patients.
This first experiment in America
was started in June, 1904, as a seaside
tent hospital. In the fall, when the
weather became too cold for the chill
dren to sleep in tents, they were trans
ferred to one of the buildings of the
Sea Breeze Home. The treatment is
very simple: Plenty of nourishing food,
life out of doors, summer and winter,
during play-time and study, sleeping
and waking, with careful doctors and
nurses care. Night and day these chill
dren breathe only out-of-door salt air.
President Roosevelt's visit to the
hospital brought it to the notice of
thousands who are interested in the
saving of child lives throughout the
country. Mrs. Roosevelt went with
him, and they both took great interest
in the children, talking Win them per
sonally, and giving them words of
cheer and encouragement. 81 wouldn't
have missed it for all the world" he
said afterward. Anybody could get
well out there"

treatment for the Complexion.

Why are ladies so especially inter
ested in the complexion of their faces?
They ought to be interested in the
complexion of their whole bodies 1t
is not of much consequence what
the complexion of the face is, If the
color of the body in general is right
A clear complexion all over the body
is an indication of a sound body.
In England, when pugilist is in
training for an encounter in the ring,
his trainer knows by his complexion
when he is ready for the fight. He
says, ''This man is in the pink Of con-
dition, because his skin is as clear as
a woman's."
The skin is a signboard for the
whole body. An unhealthy looking
complexion, a dry, inactive skin, is
an indication of the unhealthy condi-
ton of the body all through.
Bathing is good thing for the COM
plexion; cool morning bath will tone
up the skin, invigorate the appetite,
and stimulate the vital processes. But
the best cosmetic of all is a pure diet.
Those who have been brought up on
vegetarian diet usually have pure
skins. Healthy little children always
have clear skins, but as they get old
er their skins often become dingy and
sallow, simply because they have
learned to abuse the laws of life and
health, and have INDUCED their appe-
tiles with unwholesome things.

Eucalyptus Trees

There are several species of the eu.
ealyptus tree, one of which attains
height of about 500 feet, and single
specimens have reached a diameter
of eighty-one; but one of the chief
recommendations of the eucalyptus is
that, like the ailanthus, it is of rapid
growth. At Cannes, France, tree
planted in 1862 had reached a height
of sixty feet in 1872, and there are
specimens in Texas, raised like the

Repainting the Bath.

To repaint a bath begin by removing
the old paint by filling the bath with
boiling water in which a quantity Of
soda has been dissolved. Leave the
bath for twelve hours, then empty it
and scrub it well with a stiff brush and
soft soap. If necessary, repeat the
process. Then dry and afterward rub
well with pumice stone till quite
smooth. Before beginning to paint see
that all traces of dust are removed.
Now procure a tin of good bath enam-
ell, stir it well 50 that 1t is of the right
consistency and apply as many coats
of it to the bath as are necessary. Put
on the enamel very thinly and let each
coat dry before the next Is applied.
When finished, leave the bath for ten
days or more for the enamel to harden.
The longer it is left to dry the better it
will last.

The paper bags in which flour comes

To remove iron stains on marble ap-
