SOFT SHE'LL CRABS.
Get Your Stomach i'm, Tune

We were consulting beauty specialist the other
day well versed in the laws of hygiene, and this is
what was enjoined to show off the face at its best
and have the general physique in perfection:
No wine or spirits, beer, no tea, plenty OF
fruit, eating an apple first thing in the morning,
and tumbler of water the last thing at night.
Plenty of vegetables of the more common sort
were recommended as wholesome, such as carrots,
cabbage beetroot, watercress and similar simple
fare. White meats and not too much of them,
plenty of fish, are enjoined, and no highly spiced
or cooked-up dishes. Above all, we are bto pay
attention to the bath; tepid one must be taken
daily A little common vinegar is not bad in it,
with sage leaves soaked therein. Some salt is
another good thing and few drops of tincture
of myrrh. These reliable items of advice are
needed.
Women in general are learning how allimport-
ant is the treatment of the hair; no one looks
smart unless the hair is well dressed and it can
not be satisfactorily treated if it is not kept in
sound hygienic state. The present modes Of
hairdressing nearly always necesstate having the
hair waved. If this is not natural, the proper
thing to do is to go to the best hairdessers and
have it waved the most improved principles,
In such hands it will last for a long time, and,
as the wave remains in it will be just what it
ought to be, whereas amateur efforts are most
fallacious The great fault in hairdressing when
recourse has to be had to false hair, is that we
overdo it, In order to distend the hair to the
proportions that fashion enoins nowadays you
have as rule to use underproppings in the way
of frisettes wires, or something of the kind and
then toupee is placed over that in front 1t
looks far more natural and more successful to
introduce waved curls with long hair attached,
which quite light, and have the desired effect.

Thumb Sucking-Among the early bad habits
developed in children is that of sucking the thumb
or fingers. If this is allowed to go unchecked for
any length of time it will result in the nail be-
coming soft, and possibly in a weakened finger
Joint, while the flesh win lose its irmness and
become Aabby. Not only this, but persistent
thumbsucking is likely to be responsible for
maformed roof to the mouth or upper teeth and
to spoil the shape of the top lip.
Fresh Air.-The constructive value of fresh air
for children can never be too much insisted up-
on, but in some cases where this rule Is carried
out with praiseworthy thoroughness the children
are apt to suffer from insufficient clothing. The
exposure TO the cold air must be compensated by
the increased protection Of warm clothes.

benefit of artists and writers who find
it so difficult to get to their work
"For example, l went one day to the studio
of New York artist who is somewhat famous
for his peculiar sketches Of airy clad girls recn-

G11O one looks well whose digestion is out of
~ order. The old saying that "Lappetit
- Went en- >mangeant' has been proved
V6G&fG scientifically from experiments. Physi-
clans seem pretty well agreed that
drinking too much does not do half so much
harm in the world as eating too much.
Eating stimulates the gastric glands and pro-
vokes secretion of the digestive juices; but food
eaten without appetite is the cause of gastric
disturbance. 1t is desirable that we should al
ways rise from meal with the power of eating
more if we were so minded, without feeling posi-
lively hungry. We should study what suits us.
If our cheeks become too ruddy after eating, it
is sure sign we are eating more than we can
digest readily; this would spoil the most beauti-
full face in the world We are all apt to eat too
fast.
Food should be taken under pleasant aspects,
amid merry conversation; if so, it will do us twice
the good. Too much tea too much coffee, too
much butter, all act deleteriously on the skin,
and therefore should be avoided. There are al
ways fashionable crazes. Do you remember Cor
ney Grains witticisms on the variety of things
people drank at fashionable dinner parties? Hot
water, cold water barley water, toast and water,
whiskey, and brandy and so on, all these had

Then, again, less meat is eaten perhaps we

ACCEPT THE DISCLAIMER.

There is a disposition on the
part Of a few newspapers not to
accept Senator Tillman's dis
clalmer Of the utterance that was
attributed to him. It will be
remember he was reported to
have said Il can walk into a bar
room with as much reverance, as
[ can a church. When he was
questioned at another place
about this alleged utterance he
said he had been misquoted. The
correspondent at Elloree, a Mr..
Fair, and a warm supporter OF
the Senator, came out with a
letter and reiterated thu utter
ance. Tillman however insists
that he did not say it, but claims
that what he did say was Il can
walk into a barroom with as
much independence as | can a
church" When a man walks
into a church it is presumed he
walks in with a spirit of humility
and meekness, and not indepen-
dence. Independent Of who:
Surely not independent of God?
Either expression, whether it was
reverence or independence"
was out of place, but when man
of Tillman's nature gets into a
flow of words he does not always
choose the best, and as a result,
a wrong one slips in, and there
fore. we think it wrong for GER
tain newspapers to be jabbing
at him, because of his slip of the
tongue. Senator Tillman has
disclaimed the use Of the insult
ing language, and even If the
proof is clear that he did use it,
his disclaimer should be taken
as an apology and there it should
end.
We have always tried to be
fair to Senator Tillman, when
ever in our judgment he did
wrong we have said so in no un-
certain words, but on the other
hand whenever we agreed with
him we have taken pleasure to
endorse him. When he was
charged with using disrespectful
language about the churches:
we condemned his utterance
severely, for no man, whether a
church member or not: should
retain the respect of the masses
who has no respect for religion
and for churches. Now that he
disclaims having used the dis
respectful language, his dis
claimer should be accepted with
the admonition TO Ego hence and
sin no more"
