Philadelphia Lodge of lllks, died in Chos-
ter cd Monday at the winter quarters of

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Sulphur soap and ichthyol soap are
both good to use when the face is un-
slightly with pimples.
An occasional washing of the face
In hot rain water, softened with two
or three spoonfuls Of oatmeal, is good
for the complexion.
Don't rub your face downward. 1t
makes the cheeks hang down. The
forehead should be rubbed from the
center to the temples.
First class complexion specialists do
not steam the face except for treat
ment of acne. Cold water, electricity
and scientific massage are more slim
ulating.
If the cheeks are hollow it Is be-
cause the muscles have become weak.
To strengthen them wet with cold wa
ter and rub gently and deeply round
and round with a soft Turkish towel.
Do not breathe through your mouth
even at night when asleep If you wish
to preserve the teeth. If you cannot
keep it shut in any other way, do as
the Indians with their pappooses-tie
ii shut.

A social leader who was renowned
among her friends as a practical house
keeper was congratulated at one time
on her skill In fine cookery. She an
swered laughingly: Il have no time to
do cooking. l spend some time in my
kitchen daily for quite another purpose.
[ go to examine the sinks, the garbage
pals and the general condition of the
premises. My servants were very
much Disguised at first that a lady
should take interest in such matters,
but they are used to my eccentricities
now and manage to keep things as l
desire to have them" If more house
keepers made these tours of inspection
it would pay them in the increased
health of their household.-New York

KITCHEN TINS.
Be Sure They Do Not Become n Home
Poison Factory.

II EhttoEy
The dread ptomaine poisoning devel-
ops through the action of acid in tin,
a fact that all h~ouseholders should lay
to heart, for the poison can very easily
be developed in any kitchen unless
great car is exercised in regard to tin
~receptacles.
A number of women were reported
i'll from eating salad at a reception.
SO many were the, victims and so Sc
we're their Illnesses that rigid lnvesti-
cation was set on foot, which disclosed
the fact that the salad dressing, CON
tanning a good deal of lemon juice, had
been allowed to stand In a tin pail.
The physician who had made the in
vestigation was satisfied that enough
poison had been generated to kill forty
persons, the only circumstances that
prevented such a frightful catastrophe
being hat the bottom of the liquid
had not been disturbed.
Every can Of meat. vegetables or
fish should be turned out Immediately
after opening into a dish or earthen-
ware vessel. Refrozen ice cream Is a
fruitful source of ptomaine poisoning,
as are loose oysters.-Nogue.

A BREEDER.
Quick wit and n Ready Tongue Make
a Sad Ombinntion.

Don't be elated if anybody tells you
you have a quick wit and a ready
tongue. Especially if you are a woman.
This is about one of the saddest combi-
Nations a woman can be cursed with,
It seems.
1t gets her into pecks of trouble.
The nice, amiable girl, who never
thinks keen. sarcastic thoughts about
people or whose tongue is too slow to
frame her thoughts instantly into flash
Ing words is II favorite with everybody.
Even if she isn't good natured general
ly she is, thought, she gets the credit
for being so. Because she is never
tempted to electrify the atmosphere
with sarcastic sparks about people and
things, she is universally supposed to
be a creature of sunshine and sweet
ness, full of kindness II charity to
all.
Well, sometimes she is this paragon.
and again, sometimes, she is Just slug
gish!
Anyhow, it isn't fair to label her op-
nosite, the sarcastic girl, as inevitably
%malevolently inclined. She isn't inva-
riably.
Her affections are just as strong and
her human kindness as broad. She
wouldn't willingly hurt anybody for
the world. Yet IN unkind nature has
given her the keen, quick thought and
the ready tongue-a combination as
sure to go off as powder and matches.
And the worst of it is that in the ex-
plosion nobody gets so badly burned

Five Points.

Pile together as many sheets of note
paper as there are boys or girls to

random five grains of rice. Prick with
a pin without disturbing the rice five
holes through the spots where the rice
has fallen. You will then have a num-
Der Of sheets of paper each containing
five pin holes arranged in the same
order. The game consists in each per
SOL drawing a figure which shall come
within the points, using one for the
head, two for the hands and two for
the feet. A great variety of amusing
figures and attitudes will be the result.

The High Sens.

You do not often come across the
term high seas" but you ought to
know exactly what 1t means when you
do. 1t is used In article l of the con-
stitution of the United States, and al
fusion to it is sometimes made In the
discussion of national or international
questions. 1t means the open sea, out
side of the civil jurisdiction of any
country, which the law of nations lin
its to n marine league or three geo
graphical miles from shore. The great
lakes, beyond the limits above deslg-
mated, are regarded as high seas. When
a crime is committed on the high seas
the person charged with 1t Is subject
to the jurisdiction of the United States
In the district that the vessel first en-
tiers or in the district where the offend

MANY SUDDEN DEATHS
From Poisonous Rheumatism-The
Disease Has Its Dangers-Should
Be Taken in Time.

Rheumatism has long been regarded as a
trouble which, while it might be painful, was
not necessarily dangerous. Very few persons,
it was thought, ever died from Rheumatism.
Recent investigation among scientists has
proved, however, the utter fallacy of such a
belief. e-fourths to seven. eights of the
sudden deaths, hearth failures, etc, are due
primarily to neglected rheumatism. The
Rheumatic Acid Poison is allowed to stay in
the system until suddenly one day it grips the
muscles of the heart and all is over.
Rheumatism is durable if the proper treat
ment is used. Iiniments, plasters and all
local applications may relieve the pain for a
short time, but no one ever heard of their per-
manently curing a case of Rheumatism. The
only way to cure Rheumatism is the Uric.O
way. Neutralize the Rheumatic acid and drive
1t from the system. That is what Uric-O does.
No matter what is the kind or character ofthe
Rheumatism, 1t is all caused by the same
Rheumatic poison. Lumbago, Muscular or
Articular Rheumatism yields at once to Uric
O. The store Of NJ. K. Burt is the home of
Uric-O in Middlebury and he can tell you all
about its wonderful virtues and the nam cures
it has made right here in your own town. 1t
sells for 75c and SI.oo a bottle. If you wish
to test Uric-O before perchasing, a letter to
the Smith Drug Co., Syracuse'N. V, will bring
you a trial bottle free Of all charges.

How They Are Formed and why
They Fall In Warm Weather.

How They Are Formed md Why
They Fall In Warm Weather.
A good many boys and girls wonder
why it is that we have hail storms in
summer or in warm weather instead of
in the icy winter. AS a matter of fact,
1t is the warm weather hat produces
them. Hail is formed by the meeting
Of two currents Of air, one warm and
saturated with vapor and the other
very cold. The cold air condenses the
vapor into water and then freezes the
water into ice particles. The ice par
ticles as they fall toward the earth
strike and adhere to each other, thus
forming the stones that reach the
ground. AS it is only in summer that
warm. vapor laden strata of air over
hang the earth, 1t is only at that season
that the conditions exist for the forma-
ton of hail.
The most violent hailstorms occur in
the tropics, where the stones are often
as large as oranges and sometimes
much larger than that. The hail that
falls in winter is very different from
that of summer both In form and In
origin. 1t is always small and is pro-
duced by the freezing of raindrops as
they pass through a colder stratum Of
air than that in which they started.

LOOP AND SCISSORS TRICK.

or fasten upon a hook, and ask some
to release the scissors from the
string without tampering In any way
with the end you hold or have other
wise fastened. To accomplish this,
loosen the loop against the handle Of
the scissors; draw it out and pass
through other handle in exactly the
same way that the strings pass
through. Draw this loop through and
out until there is sufficient length to
enable you to pass it completely over
the pair of scissors until you bring 1t
around to the opening from which you
started. Keep your string free from
twists during this operation, otherwise
you will get it hopelessly entangled.
If you follow these directions carefully
the loop will slip through the openings
and your scissors are free.

Excessive Perturbation,

The girl who suffers from excessive
~perspiration should go in for the salt
water beauty bath every morning.
Throw a handful of salt into a wash
basin and moisten slightly. Rub we'll
all over the body, jump into the tub
and turn ON the cold spray. Use the
bath brush freely; be out in thirty sec
Onds and dry well with a towel that
takes hold like a guilty conscience.
Powder the armpits with a mixture of
half a pound of pure borax. an ounce OF
baking soda and a dram of primrose
Fachet powder. Alcohol rubs are very
good.

Less Haste In Marriage.

Young girls are less eager to marry
than they used to be, At one time a
girl who remained unmarried when she
had been out one or two seasons was
almost a reproach to her parents and
an questionable blot on the marriage
market. But the unmarried have tacit-
ly formed u union which has as silently
insisted upon the standard OF the dis
grace Of their state being lowered

Kidney Disease
Kills.
Thousands Never Suspect That
They Have II.

II lie now generally admitted that diseases OF the
kidneys and bladder constitute the greatest source
OF disease. Cure these and we remove the cause
of nearly all ailments of the Liver. Blood, Stomach
and Bowels. But the approach of Kidney disease
lie so sly and gradual that the first symptoms may
no, be noticed. Here are some of the most common
symptoms of this dangerous disease:
Discolored or dark urine, sometimes excessive
and of pale color.
Unusual desire to urinate, especially ut night.
"Brick Dust" deposits, sometimes containing
albumcn and blood.
Swelling around eyes, ankles and abdomen.
DrOwsiness and IA constant tired feeling.
Pale. hot and dry skin.
Pain in the back, headache, cramps in the legs.
Bowels constipated, digestion impaired.
Rheumatic pains III the joints and muscles.
If you have any of the above symptoms your kid.
neys need immediate attention, and DIR. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy should be taken at once.
Do You know what will happen if You neglect these
symptoms? Bright's Disease, most terrible, IL

The girls, and boys too, will be glad
to know that they can with very little
trouble transfer to paper a perfect i'm
preston of a rose leaf, including its
color. Here Is the way to do 1t: Lay
the leaf on a sheet of clean white
paper and over it put a piece of white
linen soaked in spirits of inter. Put
the leaf thus inclosed in a blank book
and lay away under pressure for a
week. At the end of that time 1t will
be found that the rose leaf has lost
Its color, but that the paper has re-
seived II, thus giving a perfect and
durable impression of the leaf.

The following is a very good trick,
and one which needs no special appara-
tus:
Take Il piece of string about half a
yard long and tie the ends securely.
Now take a pair of scissors and pass
one end of your string through one of
the openings in the handles of the scis-
sors. then thread the other end through
this and pass through the opening in
the other handle. Now draw the loop
tight, and it should appear like that

Next take the free end of the string
