How to Live Long and Be Beautiful

much from the serenity and experience

Learn what your constitution really Is,
what keeps you well, what Is the nature
Of your skin. II it is dry or oily it will
require d different treatment Change
your applications as you do the air from
time to time, just as you should alter
the mode of dressing the hair. 1t Is not
good for your tresses to lie always in
the same direction.
Embonpoint seems incompatible with
eauty. daily walk will serve to keep
the proportions within due limits where
a healthy subject is concerned. Those
who are unduly obese have as rule
given way TO laziness and to lack Of ac-
tivity, both of mind and body. You
must live frugally IL you develop a ten
dency to stOutness. Take active eGer-
else; you may even allow yourself to
become fatigued without doing any
great harm. Get up early, avoid food
that contains starch, all cereals, cakes,
jams and sweets: live on fresh vege-
tables and meat; drink only moderate
quantity of liquid. Remember that un-
due size initiates against life, that apo
pleXy and dropsy follow In its train and
that obesity is opposed to longevity.
But, after ALL a weil-deVeloped, stout
figure is far more becoming than angu-
lar thinness. Thin people but rarely
have good compilations, and thinness

well. not Overture nor overwork them
selves. Be out as much as possible in
fine weather eat fartnaceous foods, and
only the best Of meat. Be cheerful and
happy. We should never let ourselves
go. as far as appearance is concerned
even when We have lost the first fresh
hess Of youth. Our belongings like US TO
look nice. and a slatternlv. fll-kept ap-
pearance is disgrace to oneself and to
the people about one. No one need be
q slave TO fashion, but We should all
keep in touch with It.
We ali neglect the charms Of grace Of
movement terribly. We should cultivate
# from our earliest youth and It wifi
remain With Us when other beauties
have fed. There is rep0se in grace OF
movement that delights the eve of the
onlooker We are so apt TO be too hur-
RED and to doing twice as much as we
can do healthfully and comfortably.
Some women charm us by the harmony
OF their surroundings. their dress. their
movements and their thousand graees.
This is we'll indeed, and should be
copied to the best of our ability.

1t seemed strange to see rosettes OF
satin on such an essentially tailormade
suit, but the fastening of the coat was
made under two rosettes of black satin.
And. by the way. the fastening Of
ones coat is quite a matter of ones
own fancy this year. While many large
and elaborate and often expensive but
tons are used the fastening may be
made under rosettes or satin or choux
OF velvet with equal success. In some
elaborate coats of velvet intended for
reception or evening wear, I have seen
them apparently fastened with rosettes
Of finely plated lace centered with a

 Treatment at tuscaloosa. TsIes Told Legislative Committee Run Whole Gamut of Cruelty From
 BeatinEs and Poor Food
 To Murder.
FORMER INMATES ON STAND

The Committee of Inquiry appointed by the Legislature to investigate the affairs of the Hospital for the Insane ct Tuscaloosa, last night listened to the testimony of former patients. who re- cited the most narrowing stories of cruelty and ill-treatement at the insti- tuition.
 These witnesses N ere cross examined without shaking the.r testimony in the slightest degree-not only cross exaln- ined. but re-examined by nearly every member of the Committee. The more they were examined the more they seemed to remember of the scenes they say they witnessed in the hospital.
 The stories they told ran the whole Gamut of cruelty. from a whipping with gas stick" to actual murder. They said the food that had been given them was not fit to eat. and they said they had complained to the doctors without effect. one witness declaring that he had acquainted pr. Searcey on sever al occasions with what was going on in the institution.
 They said the rooms were kept in a filthy condition. declaring that they were overrun with vermin. while the halls were kept scrupulously clean.
 Three witnesses in all were heard last night. All of them were sworn. They were Angus Kirkland, Mrs. Solo. mon Wilson and H. M. Harton. the man that swears he saw murder com- mitted in the institution.
 The inquiry was had Tn the Council Chamber. pr. Searcy was not present. but was represented by Judge Chiffon, and W. N. Oliver. Dr. GAston and Col onel John were there representing the Trustees. both of them being members of the Board

disappeared the first part of July
two years ago. has oeen sighted by
some one who knew him the first
time since he has last seen by Wade
Hon at the Baltimore & Ohio station
in Cincinnati boarding train south
bound.
The Rev. Maiden Adams, of
Frankfort, KY, his nephew. and a
native of this CEty. ran across
Adams wandering aimlessly on tho
streets of Richmond, Va. This was
during the Southern Baptist conven-
ton in May.
The missing man could give no In
telligent account of himself and his
actions since he left Clarksburg two
years ago Just before the Eureka
Loan & Building Association, OF
which he was secretary, became de-
funct and more than a hundred
thousand dollars was lost to stock
holders, depositors and bondholders.
The minister purchased Adams a
ticket, put him on train and start
ed him to North Carolina, where his
daughters, Mrs. Newton Williams
and Mrs. VIII Thompson. reside
