CHOCOLATE CURE POPULAR.

The chocolate cure is drawing
many thin women to a certain OBJ
scure little town in Germany. 1t
seems to be nerve cure as we'll as a
chocolate cure, for the people taking
the cure are out of doors most of the
time enjoying the scenery and exer-
cising a little. Then the patients
eat chocolate-lots of it-and all the
time.
The secret of the success Of the
treatment seems to be in the fact
that the people become stout in the
right places. The arms become plump
and round and the neck and bust
fill out gracefully. The best part of
it all is that the cure can be taken
at home just as well, and it is strange
that people will travel so FAR out of
their way to get such simple treat
ment. The treatment consists simply
of eating chocolate all the time and
drinking the beverage in large guam
tities.-Indianapo News.

Japanese Women's Complexion.

At reception where she was the
guest of honor, Miss Ell Imura, a
charming little Japanese maiden,
who is studying in this country, said
that one of the reasons women in
Japan had such marvellous complex
ions and kept their youth so well
was because they never hurried"
Miss Imura said in her quaint,
broken English: When l am in
Japan 1 do not rush all the time, but
when l am in America hurry, hurry
all the time, just as your women do,
because it is impossible not to i'm
itate them.'-Boston Record.

Awful Case of Scabies-Body Mass
of Sores from Scratching-Her
TOrtureS Yield to CutiCura.

ga young woman came to our city mis-
sion in a most awful condition physically.
Our doctor examined her and told lis that
she had scabies (the itch), incipient pare
sis, rheumatism, ETC., brought on from ex-
posture. Her poor body was mass OF sores
from scratching and she was not able to
retain solid food. We worked hard over
her for seven weeks but we could see little
improvement. One day bought cake of
Cuticura Soap and bottle of Cuticura
Resolvent, and we bathed our patient well
and gave her full dose of the Resolvent.
She slept better that night and the next
day got box of Cuticura Ointment. In
five weeks this young woman was able to
look for position, and she is now strong

WOMAN'S SECRET.

Every woman has a secret that she
will not tell her neighbors. If she Is

it is a secret connected with good
bread making, or a certain way OF

whereby she can make coffee that her
neighbors despair of equalling. If
she is a vain woman, it is secret of
putting on face powder so that it does
not show, or the secret of making
some kind of lotion that will take off
sunburn. Don't say that woman

THE BETROTHAL BRACELET

The very latest token of an &C
cepted affection is a bracelet. Con-
sequently, despite the hold which the
ring has on the traditions of betroth-
al, jewelers. may expect to be har-
assed by demands for some design
which will express the individual
quality of each lovers preference.
The betrothal bracelet or arm ANU
let-you can have your choice of al
literations-is said to have been in
troduced by Prince George of Greece,
who cemented his engagement with
Princess Marie Bonaparte by giving
her a bracelet made to fit the arm
close up to the shoulder. The brace
let given by the prince consisted of
two golden bands, which, chased in
an antique design and studded with
diamonds and sapphires, were held
By a clasp of diamonds.
In all cases the betrothal bracelet
must consist of two bands and it is
the sentiment of these two bands,
typifying, as they do, the union of
two beings, which promises to the be-
trothal bracelet future preference
over the less expressive ring.-Pitts-

Some of the spies used by both
sides during the war were Chinese"
he said. Complications not infre-
quently resulted.
'Kuropatkin one day had par
ticularIy important message to send
to General Stoessel. To get through
the Japanese lines seemed almost out
of thc question, but the Russian COM
mander went to Chinese famous for
his skill and intrepidity. The old
fellow didn't want to risk, but Kuru-
patkin cajoled him to it, giving him
$500 and promising him 5000 when
he returned.
when he reached the vicinity of
the japanese lines, with an intention
that had evidently been with him
from the start, he went straight to-
Kuroki, insisting that his business
was very pressing.
He explained in full to Kuroki
that the Russian general had given
him task which he could not per-
form because of the admirable dispo-
sition of the Japanese forces, that
therefore he had done the next best
thing and come straight to the illus
trious leader of the triumphant Jap
anese.

building legislation at this session., ac-
cording to q statement said to have
been made by President Roosevelt.
Thursday the president was discussing
the legislative program with the
members of the North Carolina peace
conference. He Is said to have i'm
pressed upon his callers the necessity
for an authorization for Jour battle
ships, adding: IF congress fails to
provide four battleships and passes a
public building bill I shall veto it."
This news created a good deal OF ex-
element at the capitol Friday. The
public building bill being framed
recognizes every state In the union and
will carry appropriations approximate

many members to get public building,
and II they don't, no matter why, they
all will be placed on the defensive.
