WHAT THE GREAT OPERATE
ARTISTS ARE DOING.

Great artists like Melba, Calve,
Eames and others, devote as much
care to the preservation of their phys
ical beauty as to the development of
their voices. Hair and complexion
demand the greatest care A smooth
velvety and roseate complexion in
connection with luxuriant head of
hair will transform the most common
place looking female into an attract
i've and fascinating woman.
Women in professional life thor
oughly understand this fact. How
often we hear the expression, What
a beautiful head of hair" or What a
lovely complexion" ETC. Take a wo-
man, for instance, of fifty years,
whose hair has become streaked with
gray. If she thoroughly realized that
Q-Ban Hair Restorer would restore
her hair to its youthful beauty and
abundance, what would she not pay
to become possessed of it, and if she
Enew that applications of the Re,
storer to the face would remove all
pimples, blotches, etc, and improve
the complexion a hundred fold. be
sides making her appear fifteen years
younger, would she use it? Dr. Mott
says that he never in his entire prac
tice, failed in one single instance tc
restore gray hair to color, depending
solely upon Q-Ban Hair Restorer, and
that for diseased conditions of the
scalp, falling hair, dandruff, etc, OF
to increase the growth of the hair
the Q-Ban Hair Tonic was always tt
be relied upon. All druggists have il
ior sale. Try it. If you use six bot
les and the results are not as claim
ed, your druggist will refund you
your money.
Montley Drug Company recommend
and sell these preparations. If you
are gray haired or your hair com
mencing to fade, you can have tn,
first bottle of Q-Ban Hair Restore

CONSOLATION FOR MoURNERs.

The first of the series of papers on
the question of whether there is a
life beyond death, which are appear
ing now in Harper's Bazaar, was by
w D. Howells. 1t was called, in the
editors note, "a Counsel of Consola-
ton" Elizabeth Stuart Phelps adds
another note of consolation in her
contribution to the series:
But the mourner at the new grave
does not concern himself with the
impermanence of human feeling. He
is not troubled lest he should cease
to love. He is busted only with try
ing to bear his power of loving. Yes
terday, today, and forever, his need
of his dead seems to him the SUI
preme fact of life. AS he kneels in
the grass to plant flowers above dust
too precious to be neglected, he is
planting solemn and exacting hopes
in his nature; these have deep roots,
and, like other rooted things, they
viii blossom II they are cherisn2e61e.-
Because he loves and grieves, he
believes in the life everlasting-and.
so long as he loves, and believes, he
has reason to expect it. Somewhere,
somehow-his idea of the where or
the how is vague, but so is mist, and
like amber mist at the setting of a
slant sun, this clings to him-at some
time, and for some reason, he dreams
that he shall clasp the dear dead
thing that he has laid away Let him
dream, and bless God that he can.
IF it were but vision of the dark
ness, who would awaken him? For
there is no fact on this earth so act
ual as that dream. There is no argu-
ment so powerful as that hope There
is no philosophy so blessed as that
belief. Nay, more than this =
would rather believe that l should
find my lost and loved again, and be
mistaken about it, if that were pos
sible, than to believe that the grave
were the end of hope and faith, of
happiness and comfort, of love and
loyalty; and then learn, after ALL
that these precious things would live
as long as I live, and last as long as
love; and that the spirits of my
dead would turn to me in the end,
the patient, hurt faces of the loving
and the sighted Whether it be a
truth or soul, that which we value
must be cherished to be held"
Faith, hope, love; let us hold fast
to these in the midst of the thick
darkness that gathers about the tomb

A teacupful of salt to bucket of

A bowl of hot milk taken imme-

A mustard plaster should never be

When you boil milk grease the
saucepan with butter before putting

forming of the granules on the bottom
of the saucepan that are so difficult
to remove.
Never rinse white laces in blue
water under the impression that this
will improve their color. Real lace
should be finally rinsed in skinned
milk, which will give to it the soft
cream tint, so much admired.
If light must be kept burning in
the sick room, it is better to burn a
candle or a night lamp. An ordinary
lamp or gas flame consumes a great
deal of oxygen and vitiates the air
more rapidly than a smaller flame.
Instead of throwing away the peels
