HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

About two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed. the
skin would scale off, and the good
flesh would burn and itch dreadfully.
When my hands first started to get
sore, there were small blisters like wa

itched dreadfully, 1t just seemed az

would scratch them and the skin would
peel of, and the flesh would be all

had anything the matter with my skin.

up my employment
MY doctor said he didn't think 1t

getting worse. One day I saw piece

One of the largest imports from
Russia into America is willow clothes

some come from the Danube valley,

manufacture The importations last
year exceeded one million dollars

Two years ago the Hejaz railway

for long time to come; at least. not
until this question of the turbulent
Bedouins is settled. For nearly it's
whole length the road runs through

built to carry water. The fear of the
Arabs is so great that some of the
passenger coaches are armored-and
noisy, rattly boxes they are, not to
speak of their filth. The schedule, and
general management, would be count
ed farcical by American railroad
men; even certain roads in the south

1t has been the governments prac.

money annually among the Bedouins,
as blackmail, to insure some degree
of immunity for the pilgrim caravans.
Not until this year did Constantinople
feel strong enough to dispense with
this disgraceful tribute. This is one
reason for the present\uprising of the
Arabs. Another is that this is the first
time the immemorial Damascus cara

Vegetables the Pretty Girls Friend.

Vegetables the Pretty Girls Friend.
Try a vegetarian diet for a little
while and see what it will do for your
bilious complexion. You are right in
thinking that vegetables don't feed the
brain sufficiently for mental work.
Many great statesmen have tried It,
but they have all given it up. From a
pretty girls standpoint, however, it
is perfection, as it clears the skin if
you don't overdo it by keeping it up
too long. AS you have to be brain
worker and pretty girl, too, try this.
Use vegetarian diet for a week or
Two. Take very little tea or coffee, as
vegetable eating demands less. When
you feel the need of some stimulant
greatly, treat yourself to juicy beef
steak. 1t will act like wine upon you
and when you see how stimulating it
is you will realize what the bad effects

70 THE new MARRIED MAN
Things He Should Practice to Learn
How to Button a Dress in
the Back.

You may not have noticed it, but
they button in the back.
Life is discipline, and so you had
better take time by the forelock and
be prepared.
Purchase from some large dressma-
king establishment one of those bulgy
ladies who have. neither head nor
legs, known as dummies or Dress
forms. Procure an old gown of your
mothers or sisters, and each morning
practice fastening it down or up the
back. -
Set it in a rocking-chair, so that it
will wiggle, and see whether you can
get the right button or hook into the
right buttonhole or eye. When you
can do this, say once out of four
times, have the buttons changed to
size just too large for the button
holes, and begin all over again. II
fairly clever at this, try row of
hooks and eyes invisible to the naked
eye.
Then substitute for the metal eyes
a lew loops OF thread, well lost IN the
meshes of jungle. of lace.
Do not use strong light, for you
will often have to perform in the twi-
light or early morning. Speed is re-
quisite, and there should be a few
pins and needles thrust into the gown
at unexpected points.
At first you can use the language
that comes naturally; but gradually
this should be discontinued, and re-
placed by something less offensive.
Count ten before you really express
your feelings.
If you are able to pass through
this course successfully, fastening

put its pert pickings pertinently forth.
