be thoroughly heated and poured In a

After this firing process the sand
bather lies in the sand covered with
a warm blanket and rests while her
attendant prepares the second part Of
the bath.
This at first is rather painful. for
the bather stands while the sand Ia
blown from a sprayer against the

remove the sand, a soothing cream Is
well massaged into the skin. and the
bather is left to sleep or the fatigue

was considered more as a wonderful
toy than a thinking machine, we had
given some hurried, forced definition
that was gospel to the loyal little ears

of observation, and 1t should be done
as conscientiously as possible. A

Big Libraries.

In the matter OF numbers the Biblio-
theque Rationale Of Paris is generally
accounted the first library In the
world, with over 100000 volumes,
The British museum stands second
with 100000, and the Imperial libra
ry Of st. Petersburg has about 1900
900. which also are the figures to be
assigned to the library OF congress at
Washington. The New York Public
library, according to some authorities,
is in the same class as the big library
at the national capital, and there are
several libraries In the United States
that display on their shelves more
than 10000 volumes.-Harper's.

Points
For
Mothers
&

When one talks of a nagging wife
1t is generally to refer In pitying terms
to the man whom she has married.
Much more to be pitied, however, are
the children Of the marriage. A man
can endure much and find a remedy In
retaliation. But sensitive children
shrink from the continual fault find
ing and suffer In silence.
What makes matters worse for the
little ones is that there are many wo-
men who are regarded by their hus-
bands as model wives. but who on ac-
count Of their thoughtlessness toward
their children are really not at all
good mothers.
In fairness to many mothers 1t must
be said that they unwittingly fall into
the habit Of nagging their children.
The tiresome ways of the latter seem
more than they can bear at times,
and the result is that they are apt to
forget themselves.
Don't do this" and Don't do that"
"Why can't you let things aloneT
II never saw such a child" You
are a perfect worry, but what can one
expect from such a child? You are
exactly like your father" etc.. ad nau-
seam, through all the nerve racking
catalogue of nag.
And then these mothers honestly
wonder why their children are reduc-
ed to a state Of sulky irritability. Such
mothers never seem to take into con-
sideration the fact that children are
the most sensitive beings in the world
and that their whole experience is
made up OF small joys and small sor-
rows that can make life misery to
them.

Causes of Appendicitis.

prominent persons in England from
appendicitis recently has set the Lon
don papers to discussing the causes of
the disease. One surgeon. quoted by
the Chronicle, says: 1T has been said
that appendicitis is often brought on
by the use Of toothbrushes. hairs from
the brush lodging in the system. In
the same way the pits of fruit have
been spoken of as a cause of the
disease. All can say is that it is very
rare to find any OF these things in the
appendix. and the most important fac
tor in bringing on appendicitis is un-
doubtedly indigestion and certain other
familiar disorders"

The Children. PIaymates.

No one, of course, thinks that

to do this is to choose their playmates

children get their polish, and by an

with pure rich blood. What makes pure
red blood' Why, your stomach, liver and

digestion, constipation and biliousness will
ruin any complexion. To get rid of these
and have the Beauty of Health, the only
real Beauty, take Smiths Pineapple and
Butternut Pills. They invigorate the
blood, strengthen the nerves, and the skin
becomes rosy and red, showing the circu-
lation is normal and active as Nature in

should always keep them on hand. These
