BEAUTY FOODS.

II You Would Become Fair, Eat Simple,
Dainty Diet.
'Forget that stupid old maxim,
Beauty is but skin deep and deter
mine to annex all the prettiness possi-
bic by eating and drinking what is
good for you. 1t isn't true that beau
" is only skin deep. On the contrary,
It is the health-that is, the beauty Of
the body beneath the skin-that makes
a girls appearance attractive"
Thus spoke beauty doctor.
II treat my patients as much by In
fuencing them to eat and drink sensi-
bly, as by selling them unguents and
cosmetics, though they have their
uses" continued this authority. "And
one Of the first points upon which 1
insist is that they do not eat to safety.

preston and languor-as there VIII be
after heavy meal-it Is an excellent
plan to skip the next altogether. And
to avoid such feelings advise my eli
ents to eat no bread, except a very lit
tie crisply toasted, with a meat meal
Of any kind, and to drink no fluid. The
best time to drink is an hour before
a meal or three hours after one, and
then pure water is par excellence the
elixir among all beverages TO take.
"Few women grasp the fact that
pure water imbibed at the proper time
is an investment In beauty that will
pay her interest at the rate of cent per

thing before going to bed is excellent
for the complexion, because 1t keeps
the system in good order. 1t should,
furthermore, be recollected that beer,
tea and coffee all AFFECT the heart that

when tired and overweight there is
nothing better than a cup Of hot milk,
slipped, not swallowed down quickly,
or If that be distastefuI one Of hot wa
ter or thin cocoa, taken hot.

beauty In the long run, but perma-
nently and with a bestowal Of girlish

Tea should always be drunk freshly
made and quite weak; coffee very hot
In small quantities and black-that is
without milk, and for the stout with
out sugar. Buttermilk and barley wa
ter are two exceedingly healthy
drinks, and so is lemon squeezed in
water sweetened by honey.

The courteou. Woman.

She Is not the woman who has one
tone Of voice for her friends and asso-
eiates and quite another for her serv-
ants and the tired people behind count
ers who wait upon her.
Nor is she the woman who bids Wis
itors an affectionate farewell in one
breath and In the next expresses her
thankfulness at their departure.
Certainly she is not the woman who
discusses with one friend the follies
or secrets Of another.
A truly courteous woman INDUCES

ceptions which make life insincere.
She has one gentle manner and voice
for all. high or low, and she never
demeans herself by personal comments
behind peoples backs which could not
be openly said In their presence.
So much a matter Of gentle heart is
genuine courtesy.

The Sausage.

The sausage dates back to the year
S97. It has been asserted that the
Greeks In the days Of Homer manufac'
tured sausages. but this prehistoric
mixture mad nothing In common with
our modern product. The ancient so
called sausage was composed Of the
same materials which enter into the
makeup Of the boudin Of the French
market and the blood pudding of the
French Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enveloped in the stomachs Of
goats. 1t was not until the tenth cen
tury that sausage made Of hashed pork
became known. 1t was in or near the
year 1900 that. thanks to the introduc-
ton into Germany OF cinnamon and
saffron. the sausages OF Frankfort and
strassburg acquired a universal repu'
tation.
