The pain soothing virtues OF st. ia
cobs Oil are so evenly balanced as to
meet all cases where pain exists, and
where an outward application is gen
orally applied. st. Jacobs Oil is truly
worth its weight in gold, even for the
cure of nerve pains (and pretty well
all bodily pains proceeding from the
nerves.. 1t illustrates how wonder
fully the essential elements are com
bined its marvellous penetrating power
enables 1t to seek out the painful spot
In the sciatic nerve, deeply embedded,
as well as the face and brain nerves.
1t cures neuralgia gently and surely,
and after the application, If the nose
of the bottle Is held to the patients
nostrils for, say, ten minutes, they will
fall off into a restful, peaceful sleep.
There is no other remedy In the world
that will do so much, and do 1t so
quietly and effectively as ST Jacobs
Oil. Every family should have q bot
tie handy by them in the house. It
acts like magic, it always conquers
pain.

BRAIN POWER
Increased by Proper Feeding.

AAcISAseu Wy PROPER EeS0InS.
A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared a fam
lily. found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food
Tor brain work and to develop healthy
children. She writes:
Il am an enthusiastic proclaimer Of
Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. l for
merly had no appetite in the morning
and for 8 years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
Unable to eat breakfast felt faint
later, and would go to the pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage, cookies,
doughnuts or anything 1 happened to
find. Being a writer, at times my
head felt heavy and my brain asleep.
When I read of Grape-Nuts l be-
gan eating it every morning, also gave
it to the children, including my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as a little pig, good natured and
contented.
Il wrote evenings and feeling the
need of sustained brain power, began
eating small saucer of GrapeNuts
with milk, instead of my usual indi-
gestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for
dessert at night.
Il grew plump, nerves strong, and
when I wrote my brain was active and
clear; indeed, the dull head pain
never returned"

HOW CAMPHOR is MADE.
Simple Method by Which the Oil Is Elk
tracted from the Wood.

ITO make camphor," said a returned
traveller, you put in chips at one hole,
and out Of another hole you draw the
crude product, in coarse white grains,
like salt.
Wherever camphor trees grow you
will find camphor distilleries. They are
low buildings Of mud brick and their
odor is so aromatic that it can be de-
tected two miles off.
In each building there are dozen
fires. On each fire is a kettle of boiling
water, with a perforated lid. Fitted to
the top Of this kettle is an iron cylinder,
filled with camphor chips Of the size OF
your little finger. Fitted to the top Of
she cylinder is an empty inverted jar.
There is your whole apparatus-a
1imple thing, which works simply. The
steam Of the boiling water passing up
through the cylinder extracts from the
camphOr wood it's oil. This oil, mount
ing still upward with the steam, settles
like brine on the sides of the inverted
jar ut the top. This brine, when the
FIRE goes out, dries into a substance like
frost or snow.
White and aromatic, the frostlike
substance is the crude camphor. 1t LIS
scraped off the sides Of the jar and re-
fined and pressed into those attractive
balls and cubes that you buy at a high
price everywhere. louisville Courier

The PHYSICAL Model

\ well-formed woman OF today weighs
145 pounds-a gain of 20 pounds over
her grandmother. When the arms are
extended a perfectly formed woman
should measure, from the tip of the mid
die finger to the tip of the middle finger,
just 3 feet inches, or exactly her own
height. From the thighs to the ground
she should measure just what she meas
ures from the thighs to the top of her
head. The knee should come exactly
midway between the thigh and the heel.
a woman of the last generation took
pride in Il waist of IS inches, but today
woman is not considered we'll formed
if she has a waist measurement of less
than % inches and bust less than So
inches
