RED NOSES.

Do you suffer the embarrassment of
carrying around an extremely red
nose? Or are you tortured with red,
blotchy or pimply face? If 80 you are
foolish to stand it long; 1t is the
simplest and easiest thing in the world
to get rid Of No matter what might
have been the cause, the following
harmless and inexpensive treatment
will positively remove all traces OF
your embarrassment ih from two to
four weeks.
Get this prescription filled at any
Drug Store. Clearola one-half ounce,
Ether one ounce, Alcohol seven
ounces.
Mix and apply to the parts affected
as often as possible, but morning and
night anyway, allowing it to remain
on as long as possible, never less than
ten minutes, the longer the better,
then you can wipe off the powdery
film deposited on the skin.
You can get this put up at any Drug
Store.
For any skin troubles this has no
equal.

THE ANCIENT SPARTANS.
They Floseed Mon Who Grew Too Fat
For Military Service.

They Floseed Men Who Grew Too Fat
For Military Service.
Among the ancient Spartans every
thing was considered secondary to mil
itary efficiency. and with a view to Sc.
curing this the boys and men were by
law kept in continual state of train
ing" No deformed child was allowed
to live. Boys were taken from their
homes and subjected to military regu
latlons at the age Of seven. They were
compelled to wear the same single gar
ment winter and summer. At twenty
they Joined the ranks and from that
age till they reached sixty were re-
qulred to dine at the public tables,
where only certain quantity was sup
piled for each man. The magistrates
interfered in absurdly small matters.
They regulated the degree Of fatness to
which 1t was lawful for any citizen 20
extend his body
Those who dared to grow too fat or
too soft for military service and exer-
else were sometimes soundly logged.
Aelian in his history relates that
Nauclis, son Of Polytus, was brought
before the ephors (magistrates) and the
whole assembly Of Sparta. and "his un-
lawful fatness" was publicly exposed.
and he was threatened with perpetual
Punishment II he did not bring his
body within the regular Spartan COM
pass and give up the culpable mode
of living, which was declared to be
more worthy OF an Ionlan than a
Spartan.

WHAT IS 4 DAY7
You Probably Think II 10 Twenty four
Hours, but II isn't.

But
Nine persons out OF ten-yes, 900 out
of every 1,OO0-if asked how long 1t
takes the earth to turn once on Its
axis would answer twenty-four hours.
and to the question, How many times
does II turn on Its axis In the course
of the year2 the answer would be
365A times. Both answers are wrong.
1t requires bat twenty-three hours
and fifty-six minutes for the earth to
make one complete turn. and 1t makes
366A turns during the year. The er-
ror springs from a wrong idea of what
is meant by a day.
The day Is not, as Is commonly sup
posed, the time required by the earth
to make one turn on its axis, but the
interval between two successive pas
sages of the sun across the meridian
that Is to say, the time which elapses
after the sun is seen exactly south In
its diurnal course through the heavens
before 1t is again seen In that position.
Now, In consequence Of the earth's
revolution In its orbit or path round
tne sun, tue Sun mas Tue appear ahSo
of moving very slowly In the heavens
In a direction from east to west At
noon tomorrow the sun will be short
distance to the east of the point In the
heavens at which 1t Is seen at noon
today, so that when the earth has
made one complete turn 1t will still
have to turn four minutes longer be-
fore the sun can again be seen exactly
south

A Wise Precaution.

Willie had not been a very good boy
that day. and in consequence of certain
inexcusable derelictions he had been
sent to bed with the sun. After supper
his father climbed the stairs to the
Youngsters room and. throwing him
self down on the bed alongside of the
delinquent, began to talk to him.
Willie" he said gravely. did you
say your prayers before you went tc
bedg"
"Yessir," said Willie.
And did you ask the Lord to make
you a good boy?" asked The parent.
Yep" said Willie. "and l guess it'll
work this time"
"Good| said the father. I'm glad
to hear that"
Yes" said Willie, "but don't think
we'll know before tomorrow. You've
got to give the Lord time, you know"
And what makes you think it will
work this time. my sonF queried the
anxious parent.
