Beauty Hints.

Since it has become the fashion to wear
evening dresses cut very low in the back.
that portion of feminine anatomy has
been the object of more attention than
it has heretofore claimed. Every woman
who wears evening dress sees to it that
her back makes as good an appearance
as her face, her coiffure or any other part
Of her person. Unfortunately, many wom-
en- who wear decollete are not blessed
with beautiful backs. How may they aid
nature and attain through their own Ell
forts this desirable feature?
Several beauty culturists have made
speciality OF treating the back, and this Is
what one Of them has to say on the SUBJ
ject:
''The back should be rather nat in
shape, with just the right curve, for
beauty Although woman may not be
made after these lines. she may nelp ner
back to beauty by a few artificial aids.
First In Importance Is the color, next the
way 1t is polished.
Back polishing restores a certain luster
to the skin 1t makes it shine with the
softness and freshness OF youth. To nave
a well polished back means as Quch TO
a. woman as to have a face which shines
with the natural bloom of youth. 1t
takes years off her age.
'.These things are among the first that
are advised for the woman who Is going
to wear one or the low DackS coVeTeu
with chiffon only.
EXPOSE the back to the air for a short
time each day. Try to get the skin so
that 1t does not have the shriveled look
that comes from having been too long
covered up.
Give the back the Russian massage
daily by having cold water sprayed upon
it. The Russian woman messages her
skin. not with oils or with the hand, but
with a needle spray. She has it turned
upon her back until the flesh tingles as
though it had been gone over with an
electric sponge.
Turkish massage is also necessary to
remove the yellowness of a neglected
back It calls for very rough towel
and for strength and courage in Operat-
ing it. The back is tough and one can
seesaw the Turkish towel a. long time
over it without injury.
1.-The velvet pad Is about the best back
polisher known. It is small in size. fit
ting conveniently in the hand. When
dipped in oil it is the best kind Of food
for a rough and tired looking back.
Chamois skin is also good. 1t may be
dipped in powder and rubbed on the back
somewhat more vigorously than one
would dare to powder the face. The
makeup of the back is not so very dis
similar from the makeup Of the face,
but 1t Is more strenuous.
''For a back bleach never forget perox-
ide Lime juice Is a good back bleach.
Cream Of tartar slightly moistened makes
a good back lotion. It is necessary to
use an acid as a whitener.

phoric Acid combined" and Potash 7344 per
cent from total Of 101.07.
Considerable more than onehalf of Phos-
phate of Potash.
Analysis OF Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (Which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash) is considerable more than
one-half of all the mineral salts In the food
DR.. Geo. w. Carey, an authority on the
constituent elements of the body, says: THE
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cellsalt, Potassium Phos-
phate phosphate Of Potash. This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition of oxygen
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the
brain. OF course. there is trace of other
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid,
but Potassium Phosphate Is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
its own law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir OF life"
Further on he says: THE beginning and end
OF the matter Is to supply the lacking principle,
and In molecular FORM exactly as nature fur
nishes 1t In vegetables, fruits and grain To
supply deficiencies--this is the only law OF
cure"
Tho natural conclusion is that II Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it. you have brain flag because its daily loss Is
not supplied.
On the contrary II you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard
ing the efforts of an Eskimo to con-
struct telephone line. The Eskimo
. came into possession of a piece of wire
of considerable length and never hay-
ing seen wire before he asked Profess
sor Mcmillan Of the Peary north pole
expedition what 1t was and what 1t
was used for. He was told that the white
man strung 1t on poles stuck in the
ground and voice talking to an in
strument at one end could be heard at
the other end. After some search the
next morning the Eskimo was found
to be engaged in telephone construc-
ton work of his own. He stuck some
sticks in the ground and hung his
wire on them. He held one end Of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
1t at the top of his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion of his white friend.

FOR The BUSY DAYS
LUNcHEoNs THAT ARE QUICKLY
AND EASILY PREPARED.
Three Simple Yet Appetlzing Menus
That the Housewife VIII Be Quick
to See the Value Of When
She is Sewing.

Menu: Asparagus on toast, hot tea
biscuit, marmalade and tea.
Use canned asparagus tips. Drench
them with cold water the moment the
can is opened drain thoroughly In a
colander and warm in double boiler;
put In little butter during the warm
ing and season to taste. Make hard
toast of white bread, butter the slices,
and put the asparagus on top; set the
dish on far part OF the stove to keep
warm while the other things are ar
ranged. Get the bakers tea biscuit
of the evening before and rewarm
them in the oven. first brushing over
the tops with little milk. There is
an American manufacturers. Of
course-that sells at II cents jar. II
Is delicious.
Menu: Stewed kidneys and rice, raw
tomatoes and chocolate eclairs and
coffee.
The main dish can be warmed up to
advantage, so 1t can be made the day
before. Ask the butcher for fresh
veal kidney, or six or eight fresh lamb
kidneys: Skin them and soak in Ice
water and salt for ten minutes. Cut
them in half-inch pieces, or smaller II
liked. and put them on in cup and
half OF water to stew. If the kidneys
are not from a well-nourished atimal
less water will be required, as this
absorbs the substance. Cook two
slices of onion with them and then
salt and pepper. letting them get per-
fectly tender yet not mushy. Cook
cupful of rice in a quart of w9ter and
when half done drain 1t through a col
ander, put 1t In q saucepan. set II on
the back Of the stove. and let 1t steam
half an hour more. On the sewing
day rewarm the kidneys in little
butter, and steam the rice until the
grains are separated; serve them on
the same dish. The cellars cost three
cents apiece.
Menu: Baked beans. Boston brown
bread and cocoa.
The canned beans prepared with
sugar and tomatoes are fine for this
luncheon, while the little five and ten
cent cones of brown bread sold by the
baker can be made to take the place
Of the homemade article.
Put the closed bean can In one dou-
BILE boiler. and the bread in another
and let them both get steaming hot.
Serve on piping hot plates, and II pos
sible provide sweet butter for the
bread. For single person, this lunch
con. which is the most substantial
that can be had. will cost just IL cents
five for the beans. FIVE for bread
and two for cocoa.

Can't Get Away From 1t

Is 1t possible to nourish. strengthen and Re

Every man who thinks uses up part Of the
brain each day. Why don't It all disappear

brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
II he builds little less than he destroys,

II he builds back a little more each day. the
brain grows stronger and more capable That
also is sure. Where does man get the material
to rebuild his brain? Is 1t from air, sky or the
ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to
think about It, the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink
That also is sure.
Are the brain rebuilding materials found In
all food? In a good variety but not in suitable

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD Il
jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your commune
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
MUNYON'S Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in Q way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
silment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
/ had my way would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are q tonic
TO the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-.
rioh the blood instead Of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that il pu.
into it.
These pills contain no calomel. no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
