HINT FOR THOUGHTFUL MEN
ment, Convinces Scholar of In
furious Effect of Alcohol.

DR.. Richardson, an eminent English
physician, by very simple expert
ment once convinced an intelligent
scholar Of the injurious effect OF alco-
hol.
The scholar, an intelligent young
man, was singing the praises of what
he called the Rudy Bumper" say
ing he could not get through the day
without it, and that it gave him
strength and health, as well as ex-
hilaration, when DR.. Richardson said
to him, BE good enough to feel my
pulse as | am standing here?"
The young man did So counting its
beats carefully, and saying, Its beats
IA
The doctor then sat down in a chair
and asked him to count it again He
did so, and said, 1t has gone down to
TO-"
The doctor then lay down on the
lounge, and said Now count it again"
This the young man did, and in sur
prise said, Why, it is only Ga; what
an extraordinary thing"
The doctor then said: when you
lie down at night that is the way ma
ture takes to give your heart rest. You
know nothing about it, but your heart
that forever beating organ is taking
rest, and if you will but reckon it
up, you Will find that it is a great
deal of rest, for in lying down, the
ri Sc 4 ,i,,
ute than before Multiply that by 90.
and it is Goo and multiply that by
eight hours, and within a fraction, it is
5000 strokes different; and as the
heart throws some six ounces of blood
at every stroke, 1t makes difference
of some 10000 ounces of lifting in a
single night, or over 6S4,000 pounds
every year! When lie down at night
without any alcohol then my heart
gets rest, and my strength is renewed.
But when you take your wine or grog,
you do get the rest, for the effect Of
he alcohol is to increase the number
Of strokes, and instead of getting the
'est which sleep is intended to give,
YOU force the heart to some $4,000 eX-
ira strokes in single night, and the
'esult is, that you rise up in the mora
ng comparatively weak, and unfit for
he next days work till you have
aiken another drink of the rudy
bumper which you seem to think is a
ource of strength and the life OF

The young man acknowledged that
his must be SO. He began to reckon
Ip the figures and found what 1t was
20 be lifting up so many ounces so
many thousand times, and the result
vas that he became a total abstinence

health, and as he admits, to his enjoy

The witch hazel cream formula given

STYLES IN HAIR DRESSING
Smaller Chapeaux Will Necessitate
Radical Changes in the Fashion
ing of Coiffures.

The gradual revival of the small
hat is causing several notifications
in the style of our coifiures. The day
OF piles upon piles of curls has quite
passed, and it is even considered good
style to wear the hair almost fiat, so
long as it is not strained back from
the face. In fact, there are a few
women who have always kept to this
fashion of dressing their hair, and
there is one big dressmaker. noted
for her distinction, who insists upon
her models doing the same. thing
They part their hair in the middle,
take it loosely back from the brow,
and gather it into a rather protruding
coil on the crown of the head. A
tortoise shell pin or two, a silver or
ieweled dagger, or some equally rare
but simple ornament is the only deco
ration allowed with this style of colt.
fure.
In all styles, however, it is now the
right thing to avoid ribbons, jeweled
bands, tulle and all things which sug.
gest the turban. The only people
who will be sorry to see the new fash.
ions in this particular detail of the
toilet are the hair drcGsers, who have
been making fortunes out of false
hair.

To Clean Kid Gloves.

Take a little sweet milk and a piece
of white or brown soap. Fold a clean
towel three or four times, spread it
over your dress and spread out the
glove smoothly upon it, Take a large
piece of white flannel, dip it in the
milk, then rub it upon the soap and
rub the glove downward toward the
fingers, holding the wrist of it by the
left hand. Continue this process until
the glove. if white, looks of a dingy
yellow, but, if colOred, looks dark and
entirely spoiled Now let it dry ard
then put it on your hand, and it will
be soft smooth, glossy and clean.
Take care, however, to omit no part
of the glove in rubbing it and see that
all the sOiled parts are thoroughly
cleaned This process applies only to
white and colored kid gloves For
black gloves that are soiled, turned
white and otherwise injured. take a
teaspOonful of salad oil, drop a few
drops OF ink into it, and rub it all ovel
the gloves with the tip of a feather;
then let them dry in the sun. White
kid boots and slippers can also be
cleaned by the first process to look
as good as new and black kid boots
and slippers can be restored to their
pristine gloss by the latter method.

A Boston lady talks entertainingly
Of food and the changes that can be

An injury to my spine in early wom-

headaches which would last three or
four days at a time, and a violent
course Of drugging brought on consti-
patton with all the ills that follow.

uncertain and many kinds of food dis.

To encourage temperance the Brit

,OOYN Story Of the
Morning Star

"%MR oNIGHT" began daddy. you shall hear an Indian fairy story, the
story Of how the morning star came to be up IN the sky.
E "TMs story was a great favorte with the little Indian children,
who, night after night, would listen to It with shining eyes and
open mouths as some clever story teller spun tale after tale to the little
groups about the blazing campfres.
The Indians say that long ago there yer two little orphans a girl
and a baby boy. The little girl brought up her baby brother He was
grateful for her care, and a more loving brother and sister it would have
been hard to find. However, IS the years passed Little Shell as be raj
rallied, did not grow tall, like other Indian lads. It was long after other
Indian youths Of his age went out hunting before his sister would allow him
to take his bow and arrows and 90 into the forest alone. He was so small
that at first he brought in only tiny game. but he "a so clever that soon he
was the best hunter in the forest.
Their parents had left the two orphans a stream in which many fine
beavers built their homes. One morning Little Shell found a giant eooly
killing these little animals Instead of going away quietly when told to do
So the giant fought Little Shell SO fercey that the lad had trouble in taking
care o himself but 1t last he whipped the giant, sending him nmpng away
never to trouble any Il again.
But the evil giant in going cast a curious spell vel Little Shell Little
Shell was n o longer content to stay at home, but felt longing to go travel

knew this was no life for his sister. He went home and told her he must

The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

a MOST charming gift for IN exile came to my attention the other day.
~ About a year ago l suggested to you a friendship calendar made
- up of daily quotations written or typewriter o little slips, for a
Christmas gift
This is much along the same line. The difference is that this friend
ship calendar is to be gotten up by many friends instead Of one, and is to
be made UP, not wholly of quotations., but also of little original greetings,
jokes, nonsense rhymes, pictures and sketches.
This calendar which came to my attention was being gotten up by a
jolly young crowd in a country town for n of their number who had
been sen away to another climate to fight the white plague.
The pad used as about five by eight inches. The date was written
at the top. Then the leaves were distributed among the girls friends
one Or two to her more casual friends, and three o. four to those who had
beer nearest to her.
Some of the young people pasted snapshots of themselves, the crowd,
or familiar spots o. the leaves. Others, who we're clever at jngles, wrote
nonsense rhymes. The artistic one did little pencil " water color
sketches. some simply contributed CHEEKY quotations or wrote letters
telling the girl how much they loved her and missed her.
The plucky little exile received the calendar Christmas. don't know
her at all personally but like o think about her and think what a fac
tor in the fight for courage that friendship calendar must be like to
think how she will try to decide whether to take this daily bit of excite
men at breakfast, at twilight, or just before she goes to bed, IN how
much the thought of ali this friendhness will sometimes mea to her
when she is in the homesick or the whatsthe-use-anyway mood.
If you know anyone for whom you think you would like to get up a
similar calendar, may make II or two suggestions?
In the first place, don't wait until just a month before Christmas, or
even two OF three months before such a undertaking, # is to be we'll
carried through. needs much time. The winter months area bad time to
ask people to do anything like this. The summer months are much bet
ter And don't think this is too early to 0 the seed of your undertake
ing. The chances are that you will be still gathering in your sheaves in
November and December
In the second place, in order to get other people to share the respon-
sibihty with you, why not follow somewhat the scheme I once suggested
for the money collection? Get a dozen of the girls nearest friends to
act as months. That will meal that they will contribute four " five days
themselves and be Responsible fog the balance of the days in their month.
They in turn. can APPOINT weeks, who will have to be responsible to them
for the seven days within their province.
To anyone who attempts this scheme, l wish The very bsto Of LUCK
If you care to, send to me and I'll be proud to contribute a leaf
