Uses OF Baking Soda.

A package of ordinary cooking soda
(saleratus) should find place in the
medicine closet, for many are the
uses TO which it can be put. A hand
full placed in the hot water in which
the feet ere bathed will do much to
relieve tired or blistered and aching
feet. A teaspoonful in half . glass Of
cold water will relieve sick stomach,
and little OF the soda used instead OF
tooth powder will keep the teeth free
from tartar and beautifully white.
Every trace of the soda should be we'll
rinsed off tho teeth each time it is
used. A generous handful of soda in
the bathtub will remove the odor OF
perspiration, besides strengthening and
toning the sytem. 1t will also remove
ackheads if the parts affected are first
mois,ened and then covered with as
much of the soda as will stick. Leave
it on the face until the skin begins to
smart and then remove by gently
bathing the face with warm water and
drying it with bit OF soft old linen.
A pinch of soda will often relieve
toothache, and when applied to the
sting or bite of an insect will allay the
pain or itching and heal the slight

Pegasus, say with wings drawn back
at the right angle to cut the air, would
be no encumbrancc.
Nor need figure-heads be restricted
to private machines. What more
reasonable than that every automobile
company should have its own Sign?
Certainly there would be no difficulty
in finding apt figures. Put rhinoc.
erous head with terrific horn on to a
hotel auto bus and you have the
beast to perfection. Or an elephants
head, for the "auto bus" is huge
earth shaking beast if there ever was
one. The hogs head, too, would be
quite to the point, and perhaps more
than any, the hippopotamus, or a

How She Found It.

X atie WAS visiting her grandfather,
who is a we'll known preacher, and one
of her uncles having given her the
startling information that the moon
was made of green chease, she indig-
nantly denied it. When her uncle in
sisted on it, she went to her grandfath-
er and asked him.
"Why don't you find out for your
self" asked he.
"How can ! ?"
"Suppose you see what your Bible
says about it," suggested the old gen.
tleman.
"Where shall l look ?"
Begin At the beginning and read
till you find it."
So she began to read, but stopped
when she got half way through Genesis
"I've found it, grandpa" she cried
al thought the moon could not be
made of green cheese and now l know
it, for God made the moon before he
made the cows"

Where Is the Other Side I

A Boston newspaper asserts that, in
Geennough's statue OF Benjamin
franklin, one side OF the bronze face
exhibits features of the man who
wrote philosophical axioms land the
other gives the expression of the
scientist who drew the lightning from
the clouds. This is all very we'll as far
as it goes. But where is the side
which presents Franklin as the gay
Lothario who lived in clover among
the fair but frail beauties OF Marie
Antoinette's court and who all his life
long was up to his neck in love scraps?
That WAS the true and genuine Frank
lin, and to represent him properly
would require a wink of the eye
that the Widow Butler might envy
Franklin was a good deal of a man
as the ladies OF his day knew.

Character From the Eyes.

Character reading from the features
is . very fascinating study, and the
eyes are, perhaps, the most interesting
subject Of all.
Large clear blue eyes denote a ready
and great capacity, also sensibility of
character, but their owner is difficult
to manage, jealous, inquisitive and
fond of enjoyment.
Deep seated eyes receive impress
sions accurately, definitely and deeply.
Round-eyed persons live much in
the senses, but are not great thinkers,
although they see much. Narrow
eyed people see less but think more,
and feel with great intensity.
Now as to color. The hazel-eyed
woman never tells too much or too
little, never descends TO scandal, pre-.
fers her husbands comfort to her own,
and is shrewd, intellectual and loving.
Great thinkers have gray eyes, for
gray lie the color Of talent and shire wd.
ness, but these generally indicate q
better head than heart.
Green eyes hetoken courage, pride
and energy.
Black eyes show a peppery disposi'
ton, and may be sometimes, though
not always, treacherous.
Men have light eyes oftener than
women, but the percentage of brown
and hazel eyes, neither pure light nor
genuine dark, is very nearly the same
in both sexes.

How to Drink Milk.

We live by digesting and assimulat-
ing food. and not merely by eating il.
Milk as food builds up and forms body
tissues and fluids and repairs waste.
When taken slightly in excess the un-
used portion, mostly butter fat, is
stored in the system for future use.
As is we'll known, fluid milk and
vichy is wholesome drink for many
who cannot assimilate milk alone. A
pinch or two OF salt in . glass OF milk
will produce a similar result. 1t aids
in the easier digestion of the curds as
formed in the stomach, prior to di.
gestion. 1t is wise for the possessor Of
a weak stomach to sip a glass of milk
slowly, instead of drinking it hurried.

taken at one draught the greater the

he generally understood that hot milk ,
taken into the system, is almost i'm
mediately absorbed. It's stimulating,
without reaction.

WOMAN NATURE.
Well. What's the Use. She Will Have Tier Way
Whatever You Say.

VUdSStST tOu Joy.
Once a wise man built large house.
He said:
81 will place in this house many bu-
reaus. There shall be tureaus on all
sides, in each room. They shall be
large, reaching from the floor to the
ceiling. and in these bureaus shall be
hundreds and hundreds of drawers.
Then l shall say to my wife:
"This one little bureau drawer
down here in the left hand corner of
the cellar, under the stairway, is mine.
All the rest of the bureau drawers, my
dear, are yours"
And the house of the wise man was
finished, and in it was one mile OF bu-
reaus, and in the bureaus there were
1000 drawers.
And it was late Saturday night when
the last load of furniture was moved
into the house and put in place.
Sunday morning this wise man arose
with light heart. He tip-toed to the
little drawer down under the stairway,
in the cellar, to get himself a clean
shirt and q change Of underwear. He
paused and exclaimed:
"At last l have . private drawer"
He stopped and pulled the drawer
and looked in.
There were wells, feathers, ruchings,
hsirpins, red ribbons, blue ribbons.
safety.pins, petticoats, silk stockings,
powder puffs. corset covers, trading
stamps, chewing gum, shoestrings and
other articles too numerous to men,
tien.
The wise man dug out his stiff shirt,
his underclothes and clean collar and
carefully wrapped them in and old
newspaper. He then carried them to
his room and showed them under his
bed.
Then he went out doors and medi.
tated.

A New Game.

Any number can play it, so long as
you have piece of paper and a pen
Gil for each one, and an extra little
piece of paper with the letters OF the
alphabet on. One OF you begins by
giving out list of things, perhaps
these: Name OF flower; something
in the room; q girls name; q boys
name; a color; something to eat.
As these are given out, you write
them down one under the other, then
the person who gave them shuts her
eyes and points her pencil somewhere
among the letters OF the alphabet.
Suppose the pencil points to r. then
all of you Get to work to write the
names of the things in the list, each
beginning with an X. For instance,
opposite the first, you might write
"Rose"; the next, "Rug"; then
Rachel" Robert" Red" "Roll."
The one VINO gave you the ilst niso
times you. Suppose she gave you
five minutes, she stops you at the end
OF that time and reads out what she
herself has put down opposite the
different items in the list. If her list
is correct, she takes ten marks for each
item, but if one OF the other players
has put the same thing, each takes
five, and if three have the same, she
takes four, and the other two take
three each. Then the next one reads,
his and marks are given in the same
way. At the end, add up your marks,
and whoever has most has won.

Pure Air. Pure Food and Reasonable Sanitary
Conditions Necessary for Good Health.
A Prof. Sedgwick, in a recent lee
ture at Tacoma, seems to rival Major
Ozone in his timely suggestions OF pure
air, clean food and effective sanitary
surroundings. Here are a few gems
epitomized from his address. Some
of these may apply to other communi-
ties:
1t is not enough to boost city !;
but you must make it clean and
sweet and fit to live in"
"When an epidemic OF sickness
comes from bad water or rotten milk,
it is reward of your own neglect"

"Dirty milk means dead babies"
"It is strange that a man will care

ure, but will not groom the COW that
feeds his baby or his neighbors'
babies"
"We won't allow our neighbor to
throw garbage over our homes; then
why allow him to cover them with
smoker"
"Inasmuch as the flying dust OF the
street is full of horse offal and germs,
it is not pleasant to get q mouthful oil
it,"
"Instead of Dragging of your lum.
ter-cut and your other enterprises,
why not brag OF your board OF health?
at does not pay to drink from your
own cesspool."
"Some think that running water
purifes itself. That is untrue. 1t was
disproven 90 years ago"
"There's too much noise in the
cities. We have stopped all steam
whistling in Boston,"
"The houseHy is a dirty creature
He flies from the manure heap into
your lsrder."
"Isn't it absurd that we allow oul
homes and beautiful public buildings
to be smeared with clouds Of dust?"

DIED SUDDENLY
