HOMEMADE STEAMER.

While constant steaming OF the
face is not to be advised, the woman
who likes the refreshing feeling 1t
gives can do 1t at home quite easily.
Put o teakettle of water over an
alcohol or gas stoyeplate that can
be set on table. In the mouth OF
the kettle put funnel and as the
steam pours out bend the face over
It.
The head may either be covered
with a heavy Turkish towel or cap
OF stiff paper or cardboard can be
pinned around the face much In the
order of a sunbonnet.
Always put good cold cream on
the face before steaming and pinch
and massage the flesh well to draw
the blood to the surface.
After the steaming, dry the face
with a soft towel and dash with cold
water in which has been mixed some
astringent as benzoin, until the water
is of q milky tinge.-New Haven Reg

YoU'REyoo THIN.

It's Stomach Cutuayh

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
peculiarity.
But there are large number Of peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump snd fieshy
but for some digestive derangernent.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adiposc tissue is chiefly composed Of
fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
ucnts Of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
the Physiologist, hydrocarbons. This
class Of foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenun, tho division of tho all
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion Of fat is mainly, If not
wholly, the work OF tho pancreatic
Juice. This juice is of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by tho addi-
ton of acid. a byperacidity Of the
digestive fluids Of the stomach passing
down into the duodcnum, destroys
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested or cmulsifed, nnd tho system Is
deprived OF its due proportion Of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning Of the trouble Is ca
tarrhal condition of the stomach which
causes hyperacidity of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in tho stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
ach, if the process Of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates o
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pan
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
emaciation results.
A dose of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. BY
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation Of the contents Of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juiceis thus
preserved in its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eat
sufficient amount OF fat-forming foods,
and the thinucss disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

gist. Buy bottle today.

SILVER HOLDERS.

The hostess who dislikes serving

the silver covers, which were pro-

the prices Of these covers were not
prohibitive for the housekeeper on a
snail income. Now, fortunately, the
boxes to hold cheese, caviar, marina
lade and covers for catsup and sauce
