HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

the size of the abdomen.
Every time a woman worries she
loses a little of her attractiveness and
takes on marks of age.
Fresh air. cleanliness and daily
brisk massage are almost indispensa-
bic in keeping wrinkles away.
The skin, especially that of the face,
should be treated as the finest china,
tenderly and delicateIy.
Before applying poultice cover the
skin lightly with glycerin to prevent
any particles from adhering.
Don't torture your eyes, but humor
them. for if iIl-treated they revenge
themselves by making formidable
wrinkles and crows feet.
Shoes that are too large sometimes
slip and cause the heel to blister. To
prevent this fit the heel to the shoe
with piece of velvet.
A poultice made of salt mixed with
the white of an egg will stop tho
growth of felon if applied as soon
as it makes it's appearance.
When massaging the face and neck
do not neglect to include the ears in
the treatment. else they will lose their
color and freshness.
If a finger has been pounded or
crushed. plunge it into water as hot
as can be borne This will relieve the
pain more quickly than anything else.

be regulated to certain extent by the
character of the hair and the sort of
atmosphere to which it is exposed. Very
oily hair should be washed every fort
night. The same thing may be said of
hair that is filled with dandruff. In
some cases a weekly cleaning is neces-
sary. When eggs are used there is no
possible chance of any harm being
done. Eggs themselves are tonic to
the growth.
COOKING EGGS.
An excellent method of cooking eggs
has been discovered by practical
housewife. She places a napkin ring in
a saucepan partly full of hot water and
sets the egg, small end up, in the ring.
She then punches a hole in the top of
the egg and allows the water to boil
around it. The gas in the egg escapes
while the egg is cooking, which makes
it much better in flavor.
TO WASH LACE Wells.
Take equal parts of alcohol and warm
water, squeeze the veil in the hands in
and out of the mixture; then lay a
towel or clean white cloth on a table,
smooth out the veil and pin the edges
on the towel or cloth to dry. If care

p1TTsBURG, Aug. II Directors Of
the Farmers Deposit National Bank
have approved a plan to increase the
CAPITAL of that institution from $780,
600 to s6.o0O,O0O. and especial meet
ing OF the stockho1d ers has been call
ed for September 20 to take action on
the proposition. The enormous growth
fin he business Of the Pittsburg dis
.trtct, the rapid enlargement Of indi-
yidllal companies and the desire to
keep abreast Of the splendid expansion.
Of the rich Pittsburg district are re-
sponsihle for the desire to provide
an1ple facilities to meet all conditions.
The move is also the result OF; a rul-
ing by Comptroller Of the United
states Currency w. B. Ridgeley that
banks must not loan to any one indt-
yidual or company more than 10 per
cent. of the capital and surplus nor
more than 80 per cent. of the capital.
Under the new arrangement the cap
ital Of the Farmers Bank will be So
100000 and the institution will have
the distinction of having the largest
capital Of any national banking con-
cera in the United States west OF
New York, save one in Chicago. It's
surplus will be s2,Ooo,o0o and its UNI
divided profits will be slightly over
$4,000, all as of July /, when the last
statement was taken from the hooks.
Since then these figures have been
increased by the rapid growth of the
bank.
