Women who are addicted to nervous
ness should avoid peppers, spices, eggA
too much meat, and highly seasoned
sauces and dressings. Their diet should
consist of fish, soup, celery and lettuce.
Both celery and lettuce form an excel
lent food and tonic for the nerves.
One of the best ways to keep your
stomach clean, strong and healthy, y
by drinking glass Of cold water every
morning Immediately after rising, and
just before retiring at night. This sim.
pie health rule will enable you to laugh
at the ailments which owe their origin
to disordered stomach and liver. or
to the chronic constipation from which
60 many persons suffer.
Fruit is great beautifler, II wo-
men would only believe It," said an old
physician to young woman who had
consulted him in state Of great ankle
ty over her complexion. Fruit, espe-
cially fruit like oranges, grape fruit,
grapes and apples, goes far toward
clearing the skin and preserving that
indescribable look Of youth which, on
analysis, is found to consist In bright
eyes, living hair and fresh, vital COM
plexion.
It 10 a mistaken idea that no fruit
should be eaten at breakfast; indeed, ID
would be far better II people would eat
less bacon at breakfast and more fruit.

and enthusiastically appreciated by the
10000 Cubans who gathered at the old
fort on the occasion.
The expedition also unveiled monu-
ments at Guantanamo, where one Of the
first actions Of the war occurred, and
at Daiquiri, where the Fifth Army
Corps first landed in Cuba. A site was
selected for a monument at Siboney,
where a number Of regiments were
landed from transports. Arrangements
were also made to place roster and hon.
or tablets in a new blockhouse which
the Cuban government proposes to erect
on the site Of old Fort San Juan. which
was literally carried away by relic hun
ters, and to mark the positions held By
the various regiments, brigades and
divisions In the short but exciting
siege at Santiago.

the Thanksgiving crop viii not only be
expensive but decidedly scarce.
Al least, this is the cry Of the turkey
raisers. but as year after year goes
by and the markets are apparently
pretty well stocked. dealers are coming
10 the conclusion that the farmers are
holding back for the purpose OF put
ting up the price 10 the highest notch.
The dealers themselves are paying Il
and IS cents pound for turkeys but
at this season il is impossible for them
10 gauge the Thanksgiving situation.
There is practically small demand for
turkeys just now. and game dealers are
making just about cents pound on
them.
How Things Have Changed
Tn spite of the yearly cry about
scarcity and high price and its usual
denisls, iJ has long been known that
the turkey crop Of today is not the same
as that which our grandfathers knew
In olden days farmers experienced no
difficulty whatever in raising turkeys
and had the same good lr i; with the
gobbler crop as they did with chickens
In spite OF their manifest hardy ap-
pearauCe. turkeys are one or The most
delicate species OF fowl 10 raise. They
must be carefully guarded from the time
they come into the world until they are
