Starch indigestion

The starchy foods so much used
nowadays-white bread, pastry, pota-
toes, hot biscuit, etc, often cause
starch indigestion" and a long line
= of troubles because the digestive or
gans are unable TO handle the excess
of this kind of food-materiaL
1t remains in Tie stomach, partially
fermentS, causing gas AMI sour eructa-
lions, besides preventing the body
from absorbing the full amount of food
necessary. Such persons often feel
hungry short time after eating.

transpires that the man who was
going through society gatherings, the
envy of everybody, as healthy appar-
entity, as could be found, has had
cancer. He was dOctOred for an ach-

disease that man ever had. Mays

Saving Eyesight-
The children of the public schools
are badly off for eyes. it appears, and
the physicians say they must wear
glasses Now many of the army, in
deed, are poor, some of them very poor
and they cannot only not afford, but
really cannot raise the money with
which to pay for eyeglasses. So the
school authorities are going to pro-
vide them at the public expense This
is new doctrine, but it strikes the
public as alright. The children are
the future citizens, and in one re-
spect at least, if no other they de-
mand with irrefusable right the gift
of eyeglasses, for they are the future
soldiers and sailors of the country,
and very poor ones they will be if
they have not good eyesight. The
education of the children is the work
OF the state, if it costs millions.

THE STATE AND ITs-HoLDINGs
mr.. f. PR. II.

No more striking illustration oil
the truth Of the proposition that
governments ought not to own or
lie financially interested in public
utilities is afforded than the argu-
ment which is being used before the
Corporation Commission, in the ap-
plication OF the fredericksburg
Southern Railroad for a charter TO
construct o road from this city to
boswell, by the representatives OF
the R., F. & P. r. R, viz: That the
granting OF a charter to any COM
pany to build q competing line VIII
ieopardize the interests OF the State
in the R., +. & P. road. Are the peo-
pie OF the State and their interests
TO be sacrificed because the State oil
Virginia owns a paltry interest in
the r., r. & p. Railroad? Are the
city OF Fredericksburg and the coun-
ties through which the proposed rail-
road IL to pass to be sacrificed
through persistence on the part OF
the State to remain in the railroad
business? The position assumed by
she representatives OF the r., F. X I.
Railroad, and unfortunately by the
attorney general OF the State, is un-
tenable on any ground. The State
Is not justified in retaining her hold
ings in this railroad if it must stand
in the way OF The prosperity OF any
part OF the State or her citizens. and
the small revenuethe Stategets from
this road in the way of dividends,
for it collects no taxes from it, would
not compare with theincrease OF rev.
eDue from the taxes on the new road
and from the Increase OF taxes on
the lands along its line.
II the Corporation Commission
does not see its way clear to grant
the charter as the law now stands,
then ths-iscaming Legislature ought
to repeal the statute forbidding the
parallellng OF the R, f. & P. Rail-
road, but in our judgment the de-
cision OF the Court OF Appeals in the
caseoi the Richmond and Chesapeake
Bay Railroad is fully as applicable
10 this case. No State should have
any interests which are in conflict
with those OF her citizens.

CARE OF THE TEETH.

In no one way is more injury done to
teeth than by the natural acids in ones
mouth.
They act quickly upon the enamel, bring
ing cavities as well as yellowness.
Lime water, a counter agent, should DO
used to rinse the mouth several times a
day, and bicarbonate of soda is recon-
mended even more highly for the same pur-
pose.
A toothbrush should always be curved
at least a little, that the length of the
centre bristles shall not interfere with the
end.
Unless hose at the top are longer than
any other part, no benefit is derived by its
use. A fiat brush is good for the front
teeth and that is all.
One should always be careful not to use
too stiff a brush or the gums will be made
to recede. A soft one is equally cleansing.
Astonishing how few people know how
to brush their teeth. The brush is rubbed
across the teeth, instead of up and down.
and a moments thought will show that
while rubbing across will clean the fiat
surface, that the edges and curves are left
absolutely untouched.
Tbs movement should always be from
the gums down to the tips on the upper
jaw, and from the gums up on the lower.
In this way only are the particles re-
moved from the teeth. Added to this dem
tai floss should be used after each meal
and always at night.

SMALL ACCESSORIES.

The conical hatpin of jade. blue, pink,
blark and all of the tinsel shades are
shown among the newest arrivals. Some
of the pinheads are but one inch long,
while some are three or four. Many of
bright gold have octagon sides. The style
is suited to the large Fluffy-Rufle hats,
where the pins fit in nicely between the
immens r~osettes and rutiles.
At present Parisians and New Workers
are initiating countless ornaments of thin
shell which are clever limitations of clear
green olives. The style is shown in hair
combs, hat ornaments and as pendants to
1ewelry. The pieces are said to be made
of genuine tortoise shell, colored, and are
extremely durable despite the fact they
are as fragile looking as blown glass.
Hand bags are now shown with belts,
both firmly stitched together for the pro-
lection of the contents Of the small shop
ming bag. The pieces are of an leather,
morocco and moire effects of silk. For
the woman who desires to carry a muff,
a handy shopping bag which Will prove SO
convenient will be greatly appreciated.
1t is said there is quite a search just
now for the old buckles OF gold and silver
worn in colonial days; that women of
fashion are looking everywhere and paying
fabulous prices for the genuine buckles
which they are wearing on their low
shoes. M
Graceful veil pins which exactly match
the colored wells are shown in tortoise,
enameled ware, silver. gold and many jade
tints. The patterns are straight bars,
crescents and circles.

They were talking jestingly of the
approaching holiday season, when one
girl told another what she might ex-
mentioned happened to be some Jim
crack" thing that the other girl fairly
hated, but the reference to Christmas
was enough to set the others thinking
about the coming holiday rush.
Goodness! is Christmas so near?"
asked the quiet girl. Seems as if
summer was hardly over. Well, that
can Wen have to begin to think
about Christmas gifts and Christmas
shopping"
Let us hope they will do more than
think about Christmas shopping. If
they are going to do any of it let us
hope they will begin now and not try
to crowd it all into the few days pre-
ceding the great holiday. Most people
never give the day a thought until it
is almost upon them. Then they hurry
and scurry through the shops, buying
haphazard anything that is left and
driving themselves and the tired sales
people into a nervous frenzy.
1t is just as easy to get the greatest
amount of our holiday shopping done
in November if we only exercise a
little forethought. Some people will
contend that they have not arranged
their finances so as to purchase now.
Buy a little at a time. The best Sc
lections will be made early, and one
will not heed the expense If a little
care is exercised.
If you have 40 selfish motive for
~A4ktN,~ 4Iu1,,-I. III $500 Ct.-.-A---
shopping, do it out of consideration for
the clerks who must be in attendance
late and early,
If the shopper is exhausted from one
or two days of buying, think, what 1t
must mean to the ~salespeople to stand
all day trying to please impatient buy
ers who have no idea of what they
want, and who could just as well have
come before the rush began.
Begin at once to make ready for the
holiday If you have not already done so.

worry is Unnecessary.

II people in general would only take
the time to consider others, and help
them by giving them their sympathy,
they would find that their own worries
would disappear, "clean out of sight"
for, after all, worry is only a condi-
ton of the mind, and If you are oe-
cupied with thoughts Of others, you
surely win not have time to fret about
your own grievances.
When trouble comes your way, just
console yourself as did the dear old
crippled lady by thinking that 1--WE all
have to put up with something Then
proceed to get busy" at a task which
win take you away from yourself.
