Thing to take the Irish complexion diet.
I am going to take it up for a month
and note my improvement. The idea
Is to eat cereals without too much
cream upon them and with no sugar at
all. The pure sweet cereal is the
best. Then you eat. vegetables by the
quantity, mostly cooked. You do not
eat great deal of corn, but you go in
for spinach, which is the great beauty
food. You also eat a great deal of
fresh cheese, which is also the diet of
Southern Italy. The peasants live on
it, work hard, thrive and have lovely
skins.
"You must not mix your complexion
diets. If you are taking the Irish die
tary you must not mix pastry with it.
Rich pies and oatmeal do not go well
together, and the dinner that is two
thirds porridge must not wind up with
smoking dough pudding.
"You must stick to your diet.

What to Eat for the Skin.
RAW fruits are not bad for the girl
with the red nose, providing she does
not eat too much of them.
For her principal meal, the red

juice. She may eat white meat of
fowl or fish; and she may eat potatoes
cooked and then cooked again, in
cheese or cream or any other way she
may like them.

ALL PRAISE TO MINNEAPOLIS.

To the people of Minneapolis, to the
Grand Army of the Republic of tha,
city and the Woman's Relief Corps, all
praise. When they fully realized the
immensely of the gathering within their
gates they rose in a real American way
to the level of the emergency and ex-
erted themselves to the utmost to make
the 40th National Encampment a sue
cess. That there were many things of
more or less Importance done and un-
done which initiated against this sue
cess is not to the point These happen
at every EncampmeDt, and seem in
evitable in spite of whatever can be
done to prevent them. Had the people
of Minneapolis to do 1t over again they
would do it even better. They did all
that philosophical, intensely loyal
exceedingly kindly, generous people
could do, and at every turn the com
rades were met with a loyal, hearty
welcome, with earnest desire to pro-
vide for their comfort, with sincere ap-
probation of what they were and had
D'VH, were pdSStu III any
previous meeting of the National En-
campment. The people of Minneapolis
are Americans of the highest type, and
they have shown this not only in the
way they have built up their magnifi-
cent city, but in the cordiality of their
appreciation of the men who saved the
country's existence. If there was any
man or woman in Minneapolis who did
not love and honor the veterans, who
was not anxious TO promote their com
fort and pleasure, he or she was not in
evidence. The whole population seemed
to be an enthusiastic unit for the Grand
Army of the Republic, and every one
who had the good fortune to be present
at Minneapolis will carry away with
him the pleasantest memories of the
beautiful city and its whoie-souled. ac-
tive. capable people. 1t was good to be
there and see our fellow citizens at
their best.

once which gate they should gather at
for their trains There should have
been men with good strong voices in
side the stations to call out the trains
and the gates and give full informa-
ton to nervous people in strange places.
Nothing of this kind was done. At
both places the depots are old and in
convenient in every way. and the rooms
were crowded with anxious men and
women. burdened down with heavy va
Uses and bundles, sweltering in the heat
and nervous to the last degree about
their trains. Around each of the gates
was a perspiring pack of these. in which
there were always some poor little ba-

noise and screaming pitifully. All of

At Chicago. after passing the gates,
no one seemed to have any very definite
ideas as to which trains were going to

other remote points. The same thing
happened at Minneapolis. and in one

many such instances, all arising from
the incapaeity of the depot men. The

IRELAND AND MORRILL,.
GoedfeIIowship Brings the
Archbishop and the Minneapolis
Preacher Together mt Headquarters Of
Chief Tanner.
minneapolis Tribune.)

The Encampment has been the cause
of closing a breach which has existed
between two prominent Minnesota resi-
dents for the past II years.
For nearly a score of years Arch
bishop Ireland and Rev. G. L. Morrill,
have met each other at occasions of all
natures. and have come face to face
dozens of times. but in all that time one
has not spoken to the other.
Yesterday morning, while the two
were at the headquarters of Command
er-in-Chief Tanner. both standing under
the very shadow of the picture of Mrs.
Tanner, who was Killed but a few weeks
ago in an automobile accident at Dem
yer, something was said which brought
the two together.
Rev. Mr. morrill,. who has been doing
such valiant work during the week as a
member of the Sons of Veterans Red
Cross Corps. had entered the room in
his Red Cross uniform, and the same
thought evidently ran through the
minds of both of them.
At that moment they faced each 9TH
er and shook hands. and broke the si-
lent spell which has existed for II
years.
1t was decided that the past was to
be the past, and from this day on they
will doubtless be the best of friends.
The two sat in the grand stand side
by side during the entire parade. and
were together the greater part of the
day.

THE ENCAMPMENT FOR 1908.

A lively contest is in view for the
place of holding the 42d National En-
campment. Pittsburg is building a
magnificent Memorial Hall. the finest in
the country. and which will cost ST.
100000. She wants the Encampment
to come there at that time to help dedi-
cate this splendid building. What Penn
sylvania wants she has usually a pretty
good probability of securing. Omaha,
Cincinnati. Detroit and Kansas City
have also expressed their desire for the
Encampment 10 come there. and as
they are hustlers from way back in
those cities the conditions seem promis-
ing for an exceedingly lively campaign.
Atlanta also wanted the Encampmcnt.
out her representatives. after looking
over the ground in Minnea polls and
seeing what it meant in the way of ac-
commodations. decided that they would
nave to have good deal more bu:iling
down in their city before they could

THE VALPARAISO DISASTER.

Valparaiso, the principal city on the
South American coast, has met with a
disaster like that of San Francisco, and
only less great because the city is so
much smaller. Aug. II series of ter
rife shocks of earthquakes began which
destroyed most of the buildings in the
business part of the city, and then fire
Immediately followed. The scenes with
which we were made familiar by the
San Francisco disaster came in rapid
succession. There was the terror of
fire. the outrages by the looters and the
quick assistance Of the soldiers, who
shot down the robbers without mercy.
So far the dispatches have been con-
fusing and perhaps exaggerated. as the
loss Of life is put as high as 5000 and
the loss Of property as high as $780,
100000. Probably both of these dread
full items will be greatly reduced by a
more careful survey of the conditions.
Valparaiso is situated on a large bay
80 miles W. y. w of Santiago. the Cap
ital of Chile, and is surrounded by high
hills. II is very old city. and has a
population of about 100000. Its posi-
ton as the principal port of South
America gives il an unusual impor-
tance. and there are many foreigners
living there, among whom the English
are the most numerous. Next come in
order OF number the Germans, French
and Americans. Many OF the working
