Two Marks Of Beauty,

Beautiful eyes and brows are, In
one sense, special gift of nature.
Many a plain woman'is redeemed by
nne eyes; many n pretty face spoiled
by red-rimmed, dull. lusterless eyes.
But at tie same time great deal may
be done to make even unpromising
eyes clear and attractive, to render
eyes which are only passably pretty
really beautiful
Attention to the general health will
go far to make the eyes clear and
bright and prevent fatigue, even when
they are called upon TO do n great
deal of work.
Have you never noticed the dull
eyes OF a person afflicted with dyspep.
sia. the yellow tinge Of overlooking
and neglected liver; the. listerless
eyes OF the woman who sleeps in an
ill-ventilated room. who takes no ex.
ercise and spends all her spare time

she marries again. which is sometimes

ALL HAIL THE FOOD TABLETS!
NO Dishes, No Kitchen Work, Hence
No Household Drudsery.

How would you like to throw away
all your kitchen utensils and most of
the dishes; send your -four, meats,
spices and other pantry stuff to a
charitable association; turn the kitCh-
en- into a den or sunroom; turn the
pantry unto coy corner, and live on
nuts, fruits and food in tablet form?
It's long question and it isn't abso-
lutely new, but it comes in for consid-
Grafton in connection with the recent
discussion of How to Get Rid OF
Household Drudgery," says the Kau-
sas City Times.
The suggestion was made in good
talth by woman who believes in the
system. She advocates il without re-
card to the fact thar such a plan of
near eating" would rob life of its
dearest privilege, that of gazing Oh
and devourirg the luscious roasts and
broils that competent cooks prepare,
TO say nothing of potatoes mashed.
hashed or Drowned with butter and
gravy and pumpkin pc.
This is 10 jest" the writer of the
essay says. 1T has been my dream
for years. There is only one solution
to the problems of housekeeping, only
one way TO esca"a the ills that come
from unwiSe eating. Do away with
the kitchen and pantry, live on fresh
fruits, nuts and condensed foods in
tablet form. Have a refrigerator or,
better still, cold storage room where
drinking water may be cooled and the
fruits chilled. An ornamental Jar or
cabinet will hold enough tablets to
Feed family for a week or more.
Think of the time saved that might
be devoted to reading or outdoor exer-
else! And with the money saved we
could buy motor cars or electric car
riages."
Think Of the saving of time and
energy, too! No more luncheons to
put up in newspapers every morning
for the children and father. A tablet
or two in their pockets and possibly a
nut for dessert and away they go to
the Office. Can you see fathers face
when he comes home at night, tired
and cross, the children romping in
from school with cold little noses and
empty stomachs ready to grow rap
turous over plump, fat chicken or q
pan or Irish stew and hot biscuits?
Can you see the faces Of the children
light up with joy when you point one
finger at the tablet jar and go on with
your Browning or Emerson? No
dishes to w9sa. no scraps TO throw
away-nothing to do except read, sing,
play and eat fruits. tablets and nuts.

CheerfuIness and Mirth.

Il have always preferred cheerful
ness to mirth. The latter I consider
as an act. the former as a habit of the
mind. Mirth is short and transient,
cheerfulness fixed and permanent.
Those are often raised into the great
est transports OF mirth who are sub
1ect to the greatest depressions of mel
ancholy. On the contrary. cheerfulness,
though it does not give the mind such
exquisite gladness, prevents us from
railing into any depths of sorrow.
Mirth Is like 4 fash of lightning that
breaks through Il gloom of clouds and
critters for moment; cheerfulness
keeps up kind OF daylight in the
nina and fills 1t with steady aud per.
petual serenity. Joseph Addison.
