Heat Pointers for Blends.

It's easy to keep cool and not mind
the heat if you know how. Here are
some hints from an English physician.
Being COOL" he says, SIS largely a
condition of mind. Keep still, watch
what you eat and drink, avoid meat,
venti1ate your clothes as we'll as your
home, battle freely and avoid extremes
Of heat and cold in the water. Kill the
fly and don't. get chilled at night.
eff you r q blond, avoid the bright
lights, because they are rich in chem
ical ether waves. In persons that have
considerable pigment in their skins
In brunettes-these short, rapid, acti-
mic waves are transformed into long
and slow heat waves. These actinic
waves have a deleterious effect on the
nervous system Of those whose skin
cannot reduce their potency.
"Bionds should avoid sunlight as
much ID possible, and when they do 60
out they should wear colored glasses,
hats with orange lining and their
clothes outside should be white, to re.
feet the heat rays. Their underwear
should be colored, preferably orange
or blue. This is to protect the skin.

japanese Courtesy.

A country where courtesy is bust
ness, and business but a gentle avo-
cation, reflects it's popularity in the
most trifing details of conduct. Such
a country is Japan and such a detail

patrons on its street car lines how

Denmark rEqqs Heaviest.

The French chamber of commerce
in London has recently made ar ex-
animation of the egg market and as
certained that the largest eggs sold
there come from Denmark. The Dan
ish eggs are the most popular as we'll
as the heaviest. The great majority
of them weigh more than two and one
half ounces. The average American
egg has been found to weigh as much
as the heaviest French eggs. This
investigation classified the eggs as to
country only. Some years ago obser-
vations were taken as to breeds or
hens. Records were made of the
weight Of eggs that several hens OF
we'll known breeds laid during a pc
Rod OF six months. 1t was found that
the largest eggs were produced by
light Brahmas, the average weight be-
ing two and one-third ounce Pull
lets eggs did not exceed two ounces
in weight.

GROWING STRONGER
Apparently, with Advancing Age.

"At the age of SO years I collapsed
from excessive coffee drinking" writes
a man in Mo. For four years I sham
bled about with the aid Of crutches or
cane, most of the time unable to
dress myself without help.
MY feet were greatly swollen, my
right arm was shrunken and twisted
inward, the fingers Of my right hand
were clenched and could not be ex-
tended except with great effort and
pain. Nothing seemed to give me more
than temporary relief.
.Now, during all this time and for
about 80 years previously, / drank
daily an average of 6 cups Of strong
coffee-rarely missing a meal.
my wife at last took my case into
her own hands and bought some
Postum. She made 1t according to di
rections and I liked it fully as well
as the best high-grade coffee.
Improvement set in at once. In
about 6 months I began to work a lit,
tie, and in less than a year I was very
much better, improving rapidly from
day to day. I am now in far better
and apparently growing stronger with
advancing age.

Put TO THE TEST
BY cLARsssE HORTON.

ii You can love me without seeing
me or hearing from me for q whole
year, then I will marry you,' she had
said; and the year had passed and
Rankin still loved her.
He was standing by the same AID
irondacks lake where they had met
twelve months before. 1t yras a cool
day in July; the wind a skimming
over the surface of the water, the
pines rustled, a loon was crying far
away. Everything in nature had con
tributed to make that day n for
perfect remembrance. And it was
the same today as it had been.
She was secretary to the president of q
corporation, Rankin had learned, and
she was recovering from a serious
Illness. Their hotels were separated
by half a mile Of underground which
covered the projecting flank Of Big
Mountain. They had met at the point
Of the lake where Rankin fshed, and
he had ventured q good morning
After that their acquaintance was a
rapid one, and love perched in the
background till, growing holder, he
stood between them
Those days of meeting! That de
lirious happiness of love confessed!
This was no Irritation. They were
made for each other. But she woul.
not tell him her name, nor let hin
come to her hotel.
II have a very good reason" she
answered when he protested. "Yo,
must not try to find out anything
more about me now. But IL you cal
love me for a whole year. then I viii
marry you"
And v know who you are?'
he cried.
20, I'm nobody mysterious, Just
plain workaday woman," she answer
ed, smiling.
And when the year has rassed?"
II shall be here next year. I shall
wait for you here-let me see, toda,
Is July %. A year from today"
And all his pleas were unavailine
Despair alternated with unspeakabl
happiness. He praised her beauty
her eyes, blue as the lake water; he
hair, soft as yellow silk; her gait, he
gestures, all intoxicated him. Sh
heard his compliments musing1y, an
with a slight fBown.
eff you could love mel mean mt
apart from these external things" sh
sighed.
Il adore you," insisted Rankin. Tha
was on their last day together. H

Ing her, knew that his love was truly
returned.
A trout leaped in the lake among
the lily pads, and Rankin drew a
length Of line from his reel.
4 believe I'll have a cast for that
fellow" he said. and raised his rod
and threw it forward. The line caught
behind him. Rankin heard a sti1ed
cry and turned. Upon the barbed fly
was the girls hat, and, under it, a
complete toupee OF hair.
Before he could stir, the girl, with
a low cry, pressed her hands to her
head and darted into the under
growth. Rankin heard it crackle as
she ran; then the cracking died away
and he stood staring at his hideous
trophy.
He understood now what she meant
by her disparagement of his praises,

sunshine and a girl who stood beside
him on its brink. He understood the
shame in her heart, her swift dis.

secret. He longed for her. He looked
for her on every street, but he never
encountered her.
If she came back nov he would
prove his fidelity. But he had little
hope that she would come. Yet, be.

disbelief, he stood upon the wooded

at the mines stops for the day and
by seven O'Clock the men and women
begin to gather around the office and
set up their little stands for the sale
of duices, lines, pomegTanates, sugar
cane and oranges. By nine o'clock the
place has taken on quite a holiday
aspect. Groups of senoras, each with
a black eyed baby In her lap, sit on
the ground and crochet lace or idly
gossip. Men wrap themselves close in
their serapes and wait stolidly for ten
o'clock, when they will be paid of.
ALI the people, men, women and
children, come from miles around on
foot, on burros, on ponies and in all
sorts Of nondescript wagons. The
hacendado comes in from some neigh
boring hacienda, looking very pic
turesque in his silver bespangled
b%uckskin. while his pony, with silver
trimmed saddle is a match for his
rider. When they have all been paid
they must get rid of their money at
the store.
Each man wears around his waist a
square piece Of white cloth folded
diagonally and tied SO that the point
hangs down in the back. This cloth
serves a double purpose; it acts as a
belt to hold up the trousers and as a
receptacle for all purchases made.
The man removes this cloth, spreads it
out on the counter at the store and
into it are dumped his purchases
packages OF cigarettes, boxes of
matches, a few cakes of soap, two or
three kilos of corn and perhaps a
couple of meters of cloth.
No wrapping paper is used, but
everything, lard excepted, is dumped
into this cloth. Crackers he takes
either inside his hat or on the out
Eside. He never looks at the quality
or asksathe price, for it is a case OF
Hobson's choice. Time is no object
with these people, so it is almost
night before the last one goes away.
The fiesta of Santa Cruz~the day of
the holy cross, is the miners day of
the year, when all the mines through
out the country stop work. Crosses
are placed On all unfinished buildings
as well as a huge one in the plaza,
and are decorated with flowers, bits
Of ribbon and glass, while around the
main cross are placed palmilias with
their five feet stocks of beautiful
white flowers. There is ~incessant fir
ing of guns throughout the day and
the celebration ends with music and
dancing in the evening.
