MASSAGE YOUR MIND.
Fill It with Helpful and Charitable
Sentiments and Preserve
It's Youthfulness.

Don't let 60 of love, or love of rO-
nance; they are amulets against wrin-
kles" If the mind is constantly bathed
in love, and filled with helpful, chari-
table sentiments toward all, tie body
will keep fresh and vigorous many
years longer than it will if the heart is
dried up and emptied of human SYM
pathy by selfish, greedy life. writes
Orison SWEET Marden, in Success Mag
azine The heart that is kept warm by
love is never frozen by age or chilled
by prejudice, fear, or anxious thought.
A French beauty used to have herself
massaged with mutton tallCw every
night, in order to keep her muscles
elastic and her body supple. A better
way of preserving youthful elasticity
is coming into vogue-massae.ng the
mind with love thoughts, beauty
thoughts, cheerful thoughts, and young
ideals.
If you do not want the wears to
count, look forward instead o. back
ward. and put as much variety and as
many interests into your life as possi-
Bile. Monotony and lack OF mental oc-
cupation are great age-producerS.
Women who live in cities, in the midst
of many interests and great variety,
preserve their youth and gooG looks,
as a rule. much longer than women
who live in remote country places,
who get no variety into their lives,
and who have no interests outside

ly increasing result of the mcnotony
of women's lives on the farm. Ellen
Terry and Sarah Barnhardt. who

to action, change of thought and scene,
and mental occupation. 1t is worth
noting, too that farmers who live s.
much outdoors, and in an environment
much more healthful than the average
brain worker, do not live so long as
the latter.

Homemade Cough Drops.

An excellent recipe for cough candy,
or troches, calls for one ounce of pow
dered licorice, gum arabic and pow
dered cubebs, one dram of oil of anise,
one third ounce of oil o. cubebs ard
half a pound of pulverized sugar. Mix
all together and moisten the whole
with barely enough warm water to
make a very stiff mass. Dust smooth
board with powdered licorice and roll
out as thin as pie crust. Cut this thin
layer into round candies with silver
thimble. and put them into a cold,
dry place for a day or two to harden.
When firm, put them into a neat
candy box. and keep it in a corner of
the medicine chest, TO use when need
ed. One troche every half hour will
help to relieve tickling of the throat or
a lingering cough. Let 1t dissolve in
the mouth. Children are apt to be
fond of licorice. and will willingly
take these harmless candies when they

Had Been Lying in Yale Medical
Cold Storage Room for
Two Months.

New l. .ven Conn.--Mrs. George Klea
of New York, took her husbands body
back to that city, after rescuing it from
the cold storage room of the Yale med
ical school. Mrs. Klea made sorrowiui
tour of the undertaking shops of the
town, looking for the body of her hus-
band. whose death two months ago she
had only learned of. On learning that
the body had been sent to the medical
school, she hurried thence, to find the
body embalmed ready for dissection.
She secured permit to remove it to New
York.
Klea was a shoemaker here, and, be-
ing i'll last June, was taken to the Spring
side home, where he stayed until his
death early in October. The officials
there for the first time learned of his
wife. whose address was found in his
pocket. Efforts were made to locate
her by letter and telegram, but, receiv-
ing no reply. the officials finally turned
the body over to the medical school, ac-
cording to the law of this state.
