The Meaning of Beauty.

To have the manners of the we'll
bred women, to move about with grace
and dignity, to know poise, character,
honesty and deep sympathy, these are
the finer lines of identifying. Who
cares a cent for the dolly woman who
is beautiful to look at and who hasn't
sense enough to draw her breath ?
Such women are not alter the right
idea, and true beauty will never place
it's golden halo on their heads. Per-
sonal magnetism makes women beau
tiful, and what is that but the free
workings of genuinely lovely spirit
Perfume the inside of your head with
tender thoughts, keep your body
strong, well and clean, make up your
mind to learn everything you can, and
if you do not look beautiful you will
be so-and that will suffice.
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-09-29
A Good Eousekeeper.

The successful housekeeper is not
essentially the one who has a spot
lessly-kept house, always in order, but
the one who manages the affairs Of the
house so that every one is made com
Portable and the home is always
CHEEKY and bright. A good house
keeper does not worry over every lit.
tie detail that goes wrong, but sets
to work to put it in order again. She
can always tell you where everything
is to be found, as she always has a
certain place for certain articles, and
sees that they are kept there. The
meals are always just on time and
we'll cooked and the children look
neat and happy. This can not be done
without good management, says Wom-
ans Life, and the methodical house
keeper will have the day divided out
for the different duties that are to be
done and she will see that her sys.
tenn of arranging the work does not
cause discomfort in the house.

To revive black velvet hats or

in this way velvet will look equal to

When jewelry is put away it is apt

In clean soapsuds, using fine toilet

them by using a soft brush or a fine
sponge, and afterward dry them with
old handkerchiefs, and, lastly, with a

MERITS OF THE APPLE.
Has Medicinal Qualities Of the Great.
est Value.

A good ripe, raw apple is one
the easiest of vegetable substances
for the stomach to deal with the en-
tire process of digestion being ac-
cOmmodated in sc minutes. There
are medicinai properties in the acid
of the apple that are not found any
where else, according to hygienio
analysis. These acids are of great
value for people of sedentary habits,
whose livers are sluggish, serving as
they do to eliminate from the body
noXious matters that retained make
the brain heavy and dull or bring on
iaundice and skin eruptions.
The apple also contains larger
percentage of phosphorus than any
other fruit or vegetable, and this is
admirably adapted for renewing the
essential nervous matter of the brain
and spinal cord. 1t is perhaps for this
reason, though but rud ely understood,
that the old Scandinavian traditions
represented the apple as the food of
the gods who, feeling themselves to
De growing feeble or old, resorted to
his fruit to renew their powers of
Body or mind. The custom of eatirg g
apple sauce with roast pork, goose
and like dishes has sound hygienic
Ceason behind it, the malic acid of
ripe apples, either raw or cooked,
serving to neutralize any excess of
chalky matter engendered by eating
over-rich meats.
