Health and Beauty Hints.

Never put anything in the ear for the
relief of toothache.
Never scratch the ears with anything
but the fingers if they itch. Do not
use the head of pin, hairpin, pencil
tips or anything of that nature.
For tender eyes make an infusion
of one handful of cornflowers in pint
of hot water Let it stand one hour
Strain and use either tepid or cold.
Never let the feet become cold and
damp or sit with the back toward a
window, as these things tend to ag-
gravate any existing hardness of hear
ing.
For nervousness try celery tea,
which may be made by sleeping the
tops, roots or even the seed or by
draining the water from cooked celery
The girl with the sallow complex,
ion will do we'll to eat oranges Not

and the organlza-
ton of the force at Culehra is advancing
rapidly, and each month the output of
material is increasing. During March
it was three times what it was in De-
cember, and FIVE times the amount exea-
waited last July.
The work of installing an American
plant at Culebra As going forward as fast
as the machinery and supplies can be
secured on the isthmus, and when Mr..
Wallace left there We're six American
steam shovels at work in the Culebra
excavation, and arrangements have been
made to install additional machines at
the rate of two a month.
During the last ninety days lahorerS
have been coming in freely from Costa
Rica, Jamaica and the Barbados. The
investigations being conducted include
diamond drill work along the entire line
of the canal. the character of the forma-
ton being revealed in this manner to Il
depth OF forty feet below the surface.
These behring's will give absolute infor-
nation as to the character of the mate
rial to be encountered. In addition.
shafts are being sunk at certain points
TO reveal more fully the character of the
lorlhdJlon.
Mr.. Wallace says every additional
month he Is permitted to contine his in
yesugation and experimental work the
more reliable will be the data available
for use in deciding on plan for the
canal. He also emphasized the state
ment that thus far lie has not commit
ted himself to any definite plan beyond
his official recommendations to the for
mer isthmian canal commission. He
takes the ground that no plan should he
adopted which would prevent the ulti-
mate and economical construction of
sea level canal.
As to the necessitay of tidal lock in
sea level canal, Mr.. Wallace said it
was an undetermined question as to the
real effect of tidal action in the operation
OF the ditch, and one difficult to estab-
lish theoretically. In any case. one only
would be required-on the Panama side,
several miles inland.

When a girl is first engaged she fig

it is a four-room structure. Then all

" ~ ~
This week . deal was consummated
by which . tract of $50 acres Of land ad.
joining the clay plant property In the
southwest suburbs Of this city was trans.
ferred to D. s. Mag. Of Northern Iowa
the consideration being $4,000. Mr..
Mag had been here for several days
consulting with H A. Young, one Of our
real estate men who had the property in
charge, and after fully investigating
all the valuable mineral features became
convinced that the clay deposits con-
tanned under the surface were such Is to
justify developments, and before lesv.
ing purchased the whole body Of land.
While here Mr.. Mag also interested
some of our local capitalists to the ex.
tent that a company will be organized
and arrangements will be perfected to
fully develop the resources Of this land
on the lines Of clay productions. Just
what class Of finished products will be
considered has not yet been determined.
Suffice it to say that the transfer Of
this $40, 600 piece of realty right here
adjoining the city Of Versailles has for
its meaning sot,e other good things
which will open the ewes Of our citizens
in the neal future. Capitalists like Mr..
Mag coming in and purchasing such
valuable clay property on his own &C.
count and going ahead without reference

dence in its stability.

PAVILION WILL BE coMMoDlous
Magnolia Dell viii BE Heautlfied at

Once.
Early this week, perhaps, large and
commodlous picnic pavilion will be
erected at Magnolia Dell to take the
place of the platform destroyed by fire
last week. This time the city council
will put up structure we'll worthy the
name, a substantial and roomy pavilion,
built high upon solid brick pillars and
covered over with a substantial roof.
1t will be great deal larger than the
platform burned recently; in fact an
entire excursion or Sunday school will
be able to picnic upon the pavilion in
the event of rain. The electric light
company will be asked to contribute an
arc light for the paw lion, thus making
the dell a most desirable place for
moonlight picnics. AS announced al
ready, several out of-town Sunday
schools, military companies and soci.
cites desire to have their annual out
ings at the dell. and this beauty spot
upon the face of nature will be put in
excellent trim at once.
