True Hospitality

cannot be complete without a treat OF
Maier & zobelein's bottled beer. Mildly
it is unexcelled as
beverage, possessing most delicious
body and flavor. These qualities are
not accidental; they are brought about
by careful brewing. Only the finest
and best malt and hops are used, and
the product carefully matured before
being placed ON sale.

you get pure air, and that is the only
kind of air to breathe if you wish to
be made over.
Isn't it a fact that nearly all the
women on the stage retain their
beauty and physique long after the
society woman begins to look worn
and scraggy or fat and uninteresting?
The women on the stage exercise
and do everything known to women
kind to be healthy and well-propor-
toned.
The society woman now rides in her
automobile instead of a good old-fash-
toned walk. She has forgotten all
about golf and the racket and CLUBS
are supplanted by afternoon teas.
What Is to become of the little, thin
woman is hard to tell, but she will
eventually disappear and come forth
a new lieing. There will certainly moi
be any weak lungs with a well-devel
oped cIest-in short, with an all
around healthy girl. Of course, yot
know that the b~road-chested, full
s%hould~red girl is to be the comins
girl. Everything made in the shirt
waist order is wide in the chest line
and very broad across the shoulders
When trying these makeover sugges
lions decide not to worry. Forget al
about clothes, money matters or any
thing pertaining to worrying.

BEAUTY ANp FRESH AIR.
They Ars Very Closely Related and
for vsil-Developed Figure Elk
srcise Is Essential.

Cultivate a pink-and-white complex
ion, a sweet disposition. and when you
do this you are sure to be healthy,
which is the main factor, after all.
You will begin by taking deep
breathing exercises. But before you
begin, open your window and try to
have the sun shine on you while you
are taking these exercises. If you
do this you will not be cold in win
ter or summer
The exercise is: Clasp your hands
upon your chest and tap yourself
heavily, inhaling deeply; extend your
arms, tapping all the while, and eX-
hale. Then try violent arm exercises
or anything in the line of physical cul-
ture. Do not try general massage,
which will round out all the sharp
| points and angles. One society WON
an is learning to blow a horn, which IL
strictly an original plan. Blowing a
horn will develop the neck muscles
and broaden the chest.
1t is not the easiest thing in The
world to learn to blow a horn, but II
you know how to breath deeply ant
empty your lungs completely of all
and how to contract the abdomina
muscles as you blow it will not b'
hard work. Remember all the whil'
the more you blow the easier and mer
rier it gets.
But be sure to take all your exer
:ises before an open window. becaus

RETAINING THE HUMUS.
Exposure to Sun After Flowing OF
the Application of Lime Apt to Be
Destructive of This Element.

What is known as humus in the sol.
is vegetable matter in the process OF
decay. Some of this vegetable matter
decays in a few weeks, while others
require several years to change theli
form. This mass of vegetable matter
in the soil adds bulk to it, which bulk
both helps to let in the air and to re-
tain moisture. The decaying vegetable
matter holds more moisture than the
soil particles, and it has been shown
that soil rich in humus has a larger
per cent. of moisture at all times OF
the year than does soil out of which
the humus has been exhausted, Humus
is destroyed not only by this natura,
tendency to decay, but by its exposure
TO the sun, when it has been turned ur
by the plow. 1t is also destroyed BY
quicklime, which in doing so liberates
the plant food. For this reason, says
the Farmers Review, the application
of fresh lime to soil is frequently de-.
structive in its results, The loss Of
humus in the soil weakens ii in regas0
to its ability to resist drouth and to
produce crops.

A WILD-FLOWER GARDEN.
The Garden Soil Must Be Thoroughly
Enriched Before Plants Are
Brought from Woods.

If you will try with a determine
ton to succeed you will see a decided
change in a week, and in six weeks an
entirely brand new sort of a girl will
emerge to startle the world.
Can you imagine yourself this brand
new girl with a smooth, round throat
a good complexion, a full chest, broad
shoulders, hips and waist just the right
proportions and your general appear
ance one of beauty and joy forever?
1t will be a fad this year, as one
result of an early spring, for anna
teur flower lovers to plant, for the
admiration Of their friends, gardens OF
wild flowers, transplanted from the
woods. Many of the plants found in
the woods and fields have foliage and
| flowers as beautiful as the highly cul
tivated kinds. With the first touch
of spring, before the snow and ice has
| disappeared from the more densely
shaded places, the first wild flowers
begin to bloom, and there is a constant
succession of gay blossoms, increas
ing in splendor, until late in Septem
Der, when many Of the wild flowers
are at their best.
BY making trips to the woods at va
rious seasons, the flower lover may
transplant such specimens of each va
riety as pleases his fancy. At hom'
a bed should be prepared for them
placed where the plants have SOM
protection from the hot sun, and b
watered regularly. The soil should b
thoroughly enriched with well-rotte
manure, or some commercial fertilt
er. 1t is best to plant the wild flow
ers as a border, with all varietie
mixed, as most Of them are perennial
and it will be Unnecessary to replan
the border yearly, except to replac
those that die. Owing to the differen
towering seasons of the various vari'
ties, If the bed is we'll furnished wit
many sorts there will be constant su
cession of bloom all the summer.
is best to begin working the groun
for the bed as soon in the spring as
is dry enough. The ~transplante
flowers should be carefully and req
larly watered until they are well e
tablished. Afterwards it is only ne
> essary to keep the weeds out. III
seeds of many of the best wild ftowe'
can be purchased of the seedsmen.

he would dream he awakened and saw
Renee sitting near, with his hand rest
ing lightly in her palm. He knew it
was but a dream and did not stir lest
it should vanish and be replaced by
one less pleasing. Once the figure
leaned wei him and touched his fore
head with her lips. One day as he lay
still watching the dream-figure beside
him, his vision cleared and he knew
he was awake. He flushed lightly and
withdrew his hand, and Renee realized
that her patient had -regained con-
seriousness.
He soon slept, this time not to
dream, but to gather strength. Thus
did he sleep and awaken day by day.
Each awakening, thanks to the effect
of the ointment Renee had found in
Pompon's bag, brought a feeling OF
renewed vigor and a sharper bound
to his pulse that sent the life stream
quickening to every part, Whenever
he reused himself he saw the same pa
tient figure of her whom he loved,
watching, praying beside him. She
would not let him talk, but ere long
admitted the chevalier and Boisrondet.
Their hearty clasp of the hand and
cheering words urged on his con-
valescence. They told him little by
little of the events of that awful night.
How, after his leaving the gate, the
Indians had advanced along the path
with a rush, and Boisrondet had, on
his own responsibility, fired the mine,
which sound had been the last his
ears had heard when he sank beneath
the murderous hand of Miron. How
the chasm formed by this explosion
had prevented any further attack upon
the fort. How Baugis had finally raj
lied his forces, and. approaching the
Iroquois from the rear, had made a
strong onslaught, just as they recoilet
from the exploded mine, and slaugh-
tered many, driving some into the
river and putting the rest to flight
pursuing them for eight days, unit
the hosts that had assailed so boldly
were reduced to a few struggling
bands that skunk despairingly home
ward. In answer to an inquiring lool
they told him that Miron was dead ant
that Pompon had gone on q journey
Lazily he watched his Nurse as sh'
moved about the room, half regrettin,
his daily increasing strength tina
warned him of a coming time whel
he would no longer need her assist
ance and would lose the delight of hav
ing her neal him. But he shrank from
contemplating that event, knowing
that the taking up of their separat
|. duties once more would tax his pow
ers to the full. Then came the day
when, propped up in a chair, he sat il
the doorway and enjoyed the brigh
October sunshine, while the Indiai
chiefs and soldiers came to pay thei
respects to the commander they loved
One afternoon after he had been abb
to stand and take a few steps he wa
told by Renee of Pompon's end. Q
the sacrifice that he had made for he
and him. How the bodies of the tw
men had been found floating a fey
miles below the fort still clasped l
their fierce embrace. How the Indian
had stolen the body Of the copte an
| burned 1t amidst execrations and male
dictions. How she had requested tn
: chevalier to have a grave dug for Pom
7 pom out Of the rock within the en-
Z closure of the fort, close to the seen
J Of his death struggle.

A FEW BEAUTY DoN'Ts.

Lemon juice and brandy, equal parts,
will fade tan, If used patiently.
Electricity, properly applied, Is an
excellent stimulant to the hair.
Moles and warts must be destroyed.
They cannot be made to disappear by
internal treatment.
Moles are a soft growth, warts are
hard. They cannot be treated alike.
Sometimes it is difficult to say which
q giv5n spot is.
Too much dependence is placed on
nair tonics. They have their place, bu,
it is a limited one, and no one. hail
tonic could possibly fit all cases.
railing hair is a symptom, not a dis
ease. Look for the AUST and remov
1t. This may be local, but it is more
likely to be internal.

the scenes did the form Of Renee hit
ever with her eyes fixed upon him, az
times glad and laughing, now sad and
reproachful, and again with the love-
light born of a deep and noble passion
shining through them. At times the
figure of La Sale approached and
looked reprovingly at him. Then did
Tonti break forth in his own defense
"Ah! mon ami" he would murmur,
did you but know the task your

ize the heavy load your confession OF
-FOUR love for Renee, my Renee, laid
upon me, you would not hold me
worthy of %reproof. Could you but have
seen my struggle, daily, hourly, to
trample down the love that had sprung
into existence at the same time as
your own, to maintain the honor or
my word. TO uphold that faithfulness
to you that | knew was the only thing
| had to offer to her memory, you
would have pitied me"
Again his other friend stood beside
him and he appealed to him: Mon
cher Pompon,' he cried, you know

must know, for you were with us;
you heard with me the music in her
voice. more delightful than the harmo-

You saw the warmth in her cheek, how
