BEAUTY OF PHYSICAL HEALTH.
No Attraetlveness for Women Without
Good Digestion.

ITO look young md Keep your beau
ty you must have a good digestion"
says a beauty ~culturist. I'VE feed our
patrons upon herbs; we give them
green's. and we advise them to take
acid fruits. When a gypsy woman gets
out of sorts she lives upon dandelion
green's; she mixes sweet herbs; She
doctors herself with the fruits Of the
earth, and she RECEIVERS.
Outdoor life is everything for the
woman who wants to keep young.
"Her walk gives away the woman
who does not want people to know
how old she is. Usually she loses her
elasticity. And she takes to high heels
and a stilted walk. Wear conventions
al clothing and be elastic in your gait;
in that way you win look younger.
Il advise women generally to join Z
dancing class. BY taking the steps
n can keep up ones elasticity winter
and summer. l have a class OF four
women who come three times a week
to learn the gypsy fandangoes and the
Spanish dances. They find that they
breathe better, feel better and are
more healthy generally from this ex-
ercise."

PRESIDENT Thee. ROOSEVELT.
speaking Of Woman's Suffrage, passed
the following high compliment on the
women Of this country: Il believe
that = and women should stand
on an equality OF rights. but l do not
believe that equality of right means
identity OF function. ] am more and
more convinced that the great field,
the Indispensable field. for the pur-
pose Of woman Is a. that Of the
mother OF the family. I believe In her
work IN the home, In the work Of
bearing and rearing children. and it
is that work which should be normally
the wonans' special work, just as
normally the mans work should be
that Of the breadwinner. the supporter
Of the home. and. II necessary, the
soldier who will fight for the home.
There are exceptions as regards both
mai and woman, but the full and per
feet life. the life OF highest happiness
and Of highest usefulness TO the
State. Is the life of the man and won
an who are husband and wife, who
live in the partnership OF love and
duty, the one earning enough to keep
the home. the other managing the
home and children"

CHEEKY voice and to feel again his
genial presence. He was a man Of
excellent habits, fine moral character

steadfast friends who now miss
his daily companionship and daily
greetings. He was a devoted hus-
band, a kind and indulgent father. a
true friend. a good neighbour. a
worthy citizen and an upright, hon

His life was like an open book, to
be read By all who wished. His cheer

which his presence frightened and
which death has now darkened.
Though he is gone, his memory will
remain with us as a lasting treasure.
His life was gentle. but like the still

never failed in caring for and minis.
