DIET HINTS.

Il good complexion Is worth striving
for, An Inactive liver, the cause Of
many complexion ills, Is condition
that may be remedied, II not cured, by
close attention to diet and exercise.
The making Of beds, is said by those
Who know, to be the best of exercise
for the liver. Those who sit great
deal are apt to have sluggish liver. A
good rule to observe Is to stand at
least half an. hour after eating, walk.
Ing slowly is better; the food has thus
n better chance to digest.
A cup of hot water taken on rising
is recommended by some physicians,
and glass of cold water on retiring.
AS to foods that will remedy this
state of liver, fruits, such as apples,
prunes, figs, dates and strawberries
are essentials of daily living. One
physician advocates the use of few
ounces OF plain molasses candy at the
end OF a meal. Fruits may be eaten
Mt any. time. All broths except nut.
ton are. good: poultry and beef. vege.
tables and vegetable soups are desir.
able on this dietary list.
No treatment that is limited to tho
diet alone will show any beneficial re.
suits unless exercises are taken in
connection. Walking briskly should
be regarded as part of the treatment
AT least an hour each day should be
spent'in this healthful exercise. Night
and morning, when unrestrained by
tight clothing, different exercises
should be taken. An excellent one to
quicken the action of the liver is to
stand oil, sit twisting the body first to
one side and then the other as far
around as 1t can go without ones
moving on the seat; the object is to
pull cords and muscles in the alb.
dominal region. Many exercises I'm.
less carefully followed are decidedly
harmful instead of helpful.

There are little economies and little

as the milliners say.
For instance, very smart black hat

trimmed with band Of velvet ribbon,
passing around the crown and through
n slit in the straw OF tho upturned
brim. This trimming may be changed
to match the different dresses with
which the hat is worn, and in this way
half n dozen different effects may be
gained.
Or a>light hat may be trimmed with
white or pale yellow flowers and have
a rosette Of colored ribbon tucked in
among them. This rosette may be
changed to go With different dresses.
A hat that shows the effect OF sun
burn may be freshened by covering II
with chnntllly lace or black malines

figured lace. would, OF course, be put

The girl who wants to appear well

The most thoroughly detested of
|alI living creatures is the poor
abuse owl, which may aptly be
termed the Jonah or the hoodoo of
the air. There are more supersti-
lions connected with the owl than
there are with any other living
thing. When baby owl is born it
goes out into the world with an
awful handicap. Children run
away from it, holder boys pelt 1t
with stones, hunters shoot 1t.
Hunters have ben known to well
come the roar of the lion and turn
pale at the shrek of the screech
owl.
Everybody seems to be supersti-
tious about this unfortunate bird,
the savage as well as people In
America. Peasants in many parts
of Europe call them death birds
and If one of them is seen in the
neighborhood they are sure that
death will visit some family. The
Andalusians call them devil birds
and the Malagasy regard them as
embodiments of the spirits of the
wicked.
And to help along this supersti-
ton, the owl innocently enough in
habits church belfries,. ivied walls,
abandoned graveyards, ruins and
similar places which recall to the
ghosts and hobgoblins
and witches.
The owl is also regarded as the
symbol of wisdom and for that rea-
son it became the emblem of Ath-
ems during that city's most
glorious epoch. The kind of owl
selected by Athens as its symbol
was the small brown, hornless
kind, and If you ever saw it you
wouldn't wonder that people SO
often say "as wise as an owl"
It's big round eyes are surround
ed by horizontal oval disks which
lok like large spectacles and which
makes it look like college pro-
fessor.
This poor, abused bird lives in
every part of the globe, from the
frozen north to the tropics, and
there are more than 200 known
kinds, II of which are In North
America. They are all sizes and
all colors. The largest known owl
is % inches long, and the small
est, found in Arizona, never grows
any longer than Six inches.
The. owl works while others
sleep, and can see we'll att twi-

all. So during the day he hides in
the hollows OF tree trunks and
among the shrubbery of large
trees, while at night he howls and
shrieks and scares folk.
The wise provision of nature is
also shown in the owl. Unlike
other birds of prey, it cannot fly
long distances, so it never pur-
sues its enemy, but quietly swoops
down upon it unobserved. It's col
or helps it to do this. The arctic
owl, for instance, is pure white
in the winter, the color of the
snow and ice, but in. summer it
sheds it's white feathers and takes
on a plumage of brown.
Though despised by everybody,
the owl helps the farmer by killing
and eating the field mice which
harm the crops.
