Health and Beauty
For Ebery Woman
The Daily Bath and the Flesh Brush Aids
to Youth and Beauty--S Simple Remedy
10 Keep the Hands White and Soft.
BY MADAME ALTA.

The Effect Of the Daily Bath ON Health.
q The question of the daily bath is one
that has risen to heights of utmost i'm
portance since it is acknowledged by
wise, thoughtful women to be IN es-
sential step on the pathway to health
and beauty.
The science of beauty culture has
rought forth many luxuries n aids
the bath in the form of toilet tablets
Id liquids known as water soften
s"for which womankind-Which knows
e evil results of lard water to a dell
to skin-may be truly grateful. Hard
ater is injurious to the texture of
ost compilations and rainwater is not
ways available. When the latter Is
It obtainable and toilet tablets are not
.esired, tepid water can always be sub
stituted for hard water. The tepid
bath, for daily purposes, is the best;
too hot water relaxes the skin, and too
cold is harsh for most constitutions.
For certain temperaments the old bath
is beneficial, but it should never be
adopted as a habit except under a doc
aor's Understand not then, unless the
',sults are obviously good. After the
lunge, there should be immediate re-
,tion of the skin, which should be all
a glow. 1t is not enough to wait
, teen minutes for the warmth of the
sin to return; the shock has been felt
Y this time, and h lack of reaction
proof that the cold bath is not the
ling required.
The wise woman realizes that the
esh brush Is her best friend, and
,rves the double purposes of circu-
ting the blood freely n beautf
ing the skin. Pure olive>oil or CASTLE
Jap is undeniably the best for the
bath and with the soft, broad brush the
lather should be applied all over the
body. 1t is then sponged off, and a
new lather applied, Then the com
pIexion brush is used vigorously over
the entire body, not sighting the face,
but care must be taken not to stretch
the tissues of the face. The limbs and
body are rubbed thoroughly. and i'm
mediate benefit will be noticed upor
the skin thus treated. After the appli-
cation of the flesh brush. it IS likely
that the pores have expelled more i'm
purities. and so another dose of the
lather and q final sponging will be the
last touch of cleanliness. With a soft,
thick towel the body is now ready to be
dried by gentle. but firm, friction,

The Care of Hair brushes.

The Care Of Hair Brushes.
In many households this accessory to
the toilet does not receive it's due share
of care and attention. 1t is only at
rare neutrality-suspicious. at house-clean-
ing seasons-that the brushes get a
thorough cleansing; then they are al
lowed to do duty for months with Moth
ing more being done to keep them in
order than the comb drawn across them
to remove loose hairs. AS they absorb
/, a certain amount of the natural oil Of
the scalp and collect the lust from the
hair, they very soon become "cloggedS
and unable to perform the function of
brushing to any great advantage
Once a fortnight all the hair brushes
in daily use should be collected and
thoroughly washed. To every pint OF
lukewarm water a dessertspoonful of
household ammonia should be added;
each brush should be held by the back,
keeping that part clear of the water,
and swirled backward and forward sew
eral times; the other hand may be put
into the water mi drawn across the
hairs of the brush: shake well out OF
this water and dip into a basin of cold
water, or hold below a running tap;
shake free of water. dry back and ham
die with a soft cloth, and dry in q cur
rent Of fresh air.
If this regular cleansing is carefully
done, and the backs and handles kept
dry and carefully wiped. the brushes
will not only be more pleasant to use
and more healthful, but will last much
longer.
To improve and preserve the pol
ished wood of the brushes, rub 1t
lightly over with boiled linseed oil and
rub up with a soft duster. A drop or
two of furniture polish may be used
occasionally with good results. Fancy
silver backs of brushes should be pol
ished by making a thin paste of whit
ing and water, smearing the silver
lightly. and brushing up with the plate
brush: then dust over all carefully with
an old silk handkerchief.
Timely Hints.
When preserving fruit in jars filled
with screw-top lids, it is always best.
after filing the Jars and screwing
them tightly, to hold them upside down
for a moment. If a sharp kissing
sound is heard the fact will be appar-
ent that the rubber band is defective,
and a new one should be substituted at
once, or air will perneate the owe
and cause the fruit to become moldy.
All glasses, tumblers and Jars that
once contained dried meats, store jel-
lies and the like, while rough, can be
used for holding fruit buffers. Instead
of trying to provide them with tin lids,
cover each one with heavy PAPER and
secure the paper with a strong rubber
band, quickly adjusted and removed.

In MemOriam.

On August 80. 1908, at the early
age of 81 years, Arab Wilson heard
and answered the call of God to
come up higher. He had been a
great sufferer. but as he had given
his heart to God early in life, calm
and sweet was his departure.
To his dear wife-Stella Bedford
of Omaha. Neb., to whom he vas
married April 26, l906-loving,
faithful, true and tender. we extend
a hand Of sweet sympathy. Jesus
knows your anguish. You have
gone down into the valley of the
shadow and come up out of the vale
of sorrow, companionless. Yet, our
Lord will give you that strength
which your chastened heart so much
needs. Suffer no pangs of con-
science-you did the best you could
for him-you did nobly.
He was laid temporarily to :est at
Fairmount Cemetery, near Denver,
Colo, to which healing springs he
had gone. seeking health.
He longed so earnestly to visit
again his foster parents in Kentucky,
J. H. Pollock and wife, who had
raised him as their own child. AL
though denied that pleasure on
earth, yet thank God, some sweet
bright day, they, with little Pearl,
who has gone on before. and Arab,
too, will walk the golden paved
streets of Gods eternal city, where
no death and sorrow and disappoint-
ment will ever come.
While they shall no more receive
those sweet letters from Arab. il is
sweet to that know Christian hope
lifts US up above earth's sorrows.
As soon as the sad news-"Arah
is dead"-went abroad, loving
friends came to H. Pollock and
wife and offered their sweet condol-
ence, which they so much sppre-
ciated. But, oh, suffering hearts,
let me, as your loving friend, point
you to God, who only can give you
that sweet spirit of resignation
