A WORD TO EVERY WOMAN
Change the Entire Clothing to Got a
Thorough Rest-The Food
That Refreshes.

Every woman should learn how to
change her clothing. Take off the
shoes you have been wearing all day
and put on other shoes. The pinch
will come in different place.
/, Take off the blouse you have worn
all day, and the collar which has been
round your throat since morning, and
put on different blouse and a diff
ferent collar. You have no idea how
a fresh blouse rests one, and especial
ly fresh piece of neckgear. The
pinch goes on different set of mus
cles.
Changing the underwear is a good
plan, and best of all is changing the
corsets. The bones will rub, no mat
ter how carefully you plan things, and
a new corset makes you feel as though
you were just beginning iday instead
Of finishing one.
The tired out woman usually eats
the wrong kind of food. When tired
one should select food not for their
food value alone but for Their recupera-
tive powers. Hot soup of any kind
quickly refreshes the tired woman.

"A beauty is known by her hair,
which must be glossy and elegantly
dressed. It's color must be clear and
pure, not clouded Or notified, and, OF
course, there must got be a suspicion
OF bleach In it.
"A beauty is known by the way she
carries her head. She must not toss
it nor must she stiffen her neck. She
must carry it very yell back, as though
though she were accustomed to rlue.
"A beauty is known by her COM
plexion. A blemisn would be lntol-
cradle to woman of right proclivities.
Her skin must be clearer than that of
any peach.

There never lived a stout beauty
And q beauty is known by her bearing

Wearing Of Rings.


Girls whose hands are not yet fully
grown and formed that is, generally
speaking, girls UP to 18-should not
wear rings. Many a taper finger has
had its shape spoiled by a ring which
became so gradually tight that; the
wearer did not notice it until the mis-
chief was done. & Pianists; or persons
who play any instrument seldom wear
rings. They think that the weight OF
the ring lessons the muscular strength
of the finger. III ia girl thinks she
must wear rings, then let her at least
take them on each night and rub a
moment the part Of the finger that has
been covered by them. This restores
circulation and helps the finger to at:

further selective improvements by the
white farmer. H. -: :
In: the second period, the pushing
Americans eagerly sought out the best
kinds of corn; and tested them in each
new locality. Unlike the Indians, they
planted the corn on the even sur.
face of the plowed fields in straight
rows, with every stalk having an even
chance with every other stalk. They
husked< out the ears when ripe, and
saved the choicest specimens for seed,
Occasionally, in more or less sys-
tematic manner, some farmer, bolder
than his fellows, would mix the seed
of two varieties. and after the blood
was thoroughly fused, would submit
the hybrid thus produced to selection
through long series of years and
supply the world with new variety,
Farmers who found profit in seed

these new varieties, and corn I'M
