"Be Pleasant Every Morning Until

"Be Pleasant Every Morning Until
Ten O'clock; the Rest Of the Day
Will Take Care Of ITSELF"
This is one Of the best little SER
mons we know. Have you ever
stopped to think that the morning
is the time when your temper Is usu-
ally RULED. and have you ever
stopped to think that the cause of
bad temper in the mornin; Is nearly
always because your stomach has not
been working properly during the
night? 1t has contained a lot Of indi-
gestible substances that form gas
and makes you have dreams. 1t
breaks up your rest and you wake up
in the morning tired, instead Of re-
freshed, as nature intended you
should.
Our grand sires required no ad.
monition to "Be pleasant every morn.
ing until 10 o'clock; the rest OF the
day will take care of ITSELF" for they
digested their food and woke up fun
of life and energy ready for the days
duties, and this was because they
lived on simple foods instead of high
ly seasoned palatable connections,
which contain no nOurishment. Ma
ture gave US milk, wheat and eggs,
and on these foods a person can
live indefinitely, but IL the milk Is
skinned, and il the outside Of the
wheat is taken of the kernel, and II
the lime. the salt, and the iron, which
is in the outer part of the wheat

Do you know that a person would
starve to death on plain white bread
and water? Do you know that he
could live indefinitely on whole wheat
bread or on whole wheat food ana
water? These interesting facts are
all set forth in a book called Back
to Nature" which tells about proper
living and gives recipes for meals of
the simple kind-the kind that makes
you strong and we'll; the kind that
makes you Pleasant every morning
until 10 o'clock" This book is pub
!ished at a great expense, but 1t Is
given free to every reader OF this
paper. 1t Is an advertisement Of
"EGG-O-SEE." the great food-whlch
is made from whole wheat. which is
baked and preaigested and is all
ready to serve from the package you
buy at your grocers. You get more
life and energy from a 10-cent pack
age of EGG-O-SEE than you will get
from a thousand dollars worth Of
white bread. This Is no idle claim.
1t Is a scientific fact. We want to
tell about this simple food question,

Eastern Expert Makes Some Inter
esting Observations on the
Subject.

Denver.-Do more persons go in
sane during the strawberry season
than at any other period of the year?
Ii so, why?
According to DR.. e. P. Blomef, q
Buffalo physician and alienist OF rep
utation in the east, the statistics re-
garding the insane of the country in
general show that each year there Il
a marked increase in the number OF
persons who become insane by the
time the strawberry season is well un-
der way. When the fruit disappears
from the daily table, he asserts, rec
ords of different ssylums show tha
number OF cases decreases.
DR.. Blomer advanced his views on
the subject to C. Z. Hagar, secretary
of the state board of charities and
corrections, during a visit to the state
house. He Is on his way to the Pa

D A ADVISES.
How to Hang Dress Skirts, Some Not
Hung, and About Right Care
of Bodices.

There are dress skirts that should
be hung upside down. Yes; 1 admit it
is a nuisance. but to hang them so will
keep the frills and flounces fresh and
make them stand out as they should,
and it Is o hard to hang a skirt so
If one has the room.
And there are, also, skirts that
should not be hung at all. One of the
very long dress boxes which the dress
makers now use to send frocks home
in will hold such a skirt, or a box
couch will be convenient for it.
Chiffon and gauze and mousseline
and other stuffs of that sort will sag
If they are hung, and the skirt folds
will become stretched and dragged and
lose their floating cloudy look. have
seen frocks of net or chiffon look old
and out of shape after being worn
once or twice, just because they were
hung up carelessly.
"A box couch with trays is a splen-
did thing. One can arrange 1t easily;
and many skirts can be put in it with
out laying n on another. Even the
very sheer silks that are being used
now sag If hung.
1.-THE bodices must sometimes be
laid away, one on top of another. 1t
is a pity; but one has SC many blouses
and frock waists that there cannot al
ways be a separate drawer or shelf or
box for each one. 1t will always pay
to put tissue paper in the sleeves and
the bust Of every waist that is to be
put away.
"a bother, of course. That goes
without saying; but it keeps the bod
ice or blouse in shape and keeps it
fresh. There are such charming
blouse boxes to be bought now-cre-
tonne covered and one above another
in a wooden frame.-N. Y. Sun.

Two Ears and One Mouth.

The teacher told the children how
q wise man once said that we have
only one mouth and two ars so that
we may listen and hear twice as much
as we speak. Afterward, to see how
much of the instruction was remem-

and only one mouth, Frances?'

Seaside Bathing.

The best plan is to walk or run rap
idly into the water, wading out at once
far enough either to dip the whole per-

to break over the bather. Once in

need only keep moving. occasionally
going under a wave, as long as the
water is agreeable and there is no

In order to be healthful. the dress
we wear must be suited to the season,
the weather and the business we have
in hand. We are now in h midst OF
spring with soft airs, sudden showers
bright sunshine, and every other de-
lightful thing that belongs to the most
charming part of the year. But hast
December. although we had what Is
called an open winter. there were
piercing winds and sullen skies, and
much of the time the temperature was
somewhere in the neighborhood of the
freezing point.
A friend of mine had occasion to
take a train one December afternoon
from New York to Albany. Midway
on the journey the train stopped and
among the passengers who stepped
aboard was a pretty girl with a jacket
over her arm, no hat on her head,
and protected from the weather only
by a thin shirt-waist, with short
sleeves. The shirt-waist was dainty
and pretty and trimmed with lace and
embroidery, but, nevertheless, on that
day and in that atmosphere, the girls
dress was an invitation to grippe or
pneumonia.
All last winter, any one who chose
to look might see beautiful New
York girls walking on Fifth avenue,
in the afternoon. with furs around
their necks while their feet were
shod with low shoes and their short
skirts left visible the most elaborate
open-work stockings. This was GER
tainly not a healthful style of dress.
l trust not a single schoolgirl left
her mothers home CARRIED in so stupid
q fashion.
Now that warm weather Is here, the
problem has less difficulty and the ele-
ment of protection from cold is elm
mated. You are rather better OF
without hats than with them in sum-
mer, unless the sun is blazing and you
need to be screened from it's direct
rays.

1t was small wonder that the girls of
those days too often went into a de-
