Health Recipes,

The nervous woman, heaven pity
her. She makes herself and every
body around her perfectly miserable.
Sometimes there's a cause for the
nervousness, and then she's to be
pitied, and sometimes it's Just a
habit one gets into of being unreason-
able and fussy, and generally looking
on the blue side of everything,
When the nervous system gets out
of order the whole system lags in
sympathy. The digestive system, the
liver and the heart all refuse to do
their work. Every nervous woman
should eat five or six times a day. She
should eat three meals, have a lunch
between meals, and never omit the
warm drink taken Just before she
goes to bed. Gentle exercise and work
are as necessary to the woman with
nerves as food and fresh air. An ac-
tive interest in life will be her saliva
ton, but generally the woman in such
condition thinks she isn't interest
ed in thing in life, so she must keep
at work until she develops an inter
est.
A celebrated physician has said:
IF you wish never TO be nervous live
with reason, have a purpose in life
and work for it; play ioyously, strive
not for the unattainable, be not an
noyed by trifles, aim to attain neither
great knowledge nor great riches, be
not self-centered, but love the good
and thy neighbor as thyself." A cele-
brated and charming actress, whose
age 1t would be rude to chronicle, but
who still looks quite young, though
she is a grandmother. gives the fol
lowing prescription for the preserva-
ton of youth and beauty: you must
work until you are tired, sleep until
you are rested, have plenty of fresh
air, live in cool rooms, take a daily
sponge bath and eat the simplest
food"

Wells as Cause Of BED Noses.

A prominent Manhattan physician
has given voice to a definite protest
against women wearing wells. This
authority asserts It Is one OF the most
injurious practices of which he has
knowledge, and insists red noses are
the result Of wells and nothing else.
If there is anything a woman objects
to It is a red or greasy nose, and
these troubles, according to this ply
sician, find their origin in the wearing
