II woman's beauty depended upon

deeper than that. 1t lies in health.
In the majority of cases the basis OF
health and the cause OF sickness can
be traced to the action Of the bowers.
The headaches, the lassitude' the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due 10 constipation. so many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They DO not
eat carefully, they eat indlgestlole
foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough. But whatever the particular
cause may be it is important that the
condition should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women. and one
especially suited TO their delicate re-
uuirements, is DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin. which thousands Of women en-
dorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker,

All Fools Day.

free to vent their nonsense upon the
victims whom they would fool by their
tricks. The gay Partisan calls such
April fish," in bonnie Scotland on
this day they make merry hunting

country a man keeps a sharp lookout
lest he be caught at a disadvantage by
the Joker who glories In his smartness
IL he only can make some one look
ridiculous. But 1t Is Just as we'll not
to be too smart. The boomerang has
a wicked habit of coming back. Silly
as All Fools day custom may seem to
the solemn, it has an ancient ancestry.
It's origin is obscure, but somewhere
from the far-off times when those old
Romans felt the Tilt of the vernal equi-
nox, and went on the spree accord
ingly, comes this rollick which still
trills forth its merry ditty In our
streets. Deeper still, the calm, con-
templative Hindu, for some reason or
other, from time immemorial has gone
a-fooling on the first Of April. 1t was
probably from France, whence al

the unruly itch for turning this day

How to Break Up Brooding.

The best and quickest method OF
breaking up broody hens is to build
q cage entirely of laths, without any
solid floor to it, and hang or fasten
the cage up outdoors where the air
can pass through 1t. A hen treated
in this way will be broken from set
ting in a very few days and 1t Is not
necessary to deprive her of food or
water nor to nearly drown her in a
tub OF water, as is done too often
Broody hens should not be starved
but fed all they will eat. Heavy iced
ing starts them laying quickly after
their broodiness has been endeo
Starving them delays egg production
much longer.

Notwithstanding the multitude of
things that crowd upon the farm wom-
an to be dole, the writer can assign
her neglect to bee culture for pin
money to nothing but inertia, assum-
ing that she is temporarily fitted for
the care of bees. If a woman turns
panicky at the sight of bee, runs,
flops her apron, and otherwise empha-
sizes herself as a target, a bee will be
sure not to slight her, but see that
she gets all that she expects.
Bees are wonderful little observers
and actively resent the presence of
a person who acts suspiciously. With

ate degree, any woman would be able

REGARD PRISON AS HOTEL
English Veterans in Crime Find De-
gree of Comfort in Incarceration
in Their Declining Days.

Prison hotels. where habitual GRIM
inals are housed, are being made so
comfortable in England nowadays tnat
offenders who have spent their iiVeS
in criminal pursuits and have reached
the retiring age are now adopting the
custom of committing serious crimes
when they arrive at the age OF sixty
or thereabOuts in order that they
may pass their remaining years III the
peaceful precincts of the prison hotel.
One of these institutions is now in
the course OF building at Parkhurst'
Isle of Wight, and soon will be oc-
cupied by some 20 or 50 aged
convicts, who have become priv
ileged prisoners under the scheme
originated by Winston Churchill few
years ago, says the New York IT'D
une's correspondent.
The "old brigade" have mostly very
light indoor or outdoor work IN asso-
citation. They are permitted to talk 10
each other. They are allowed an arm
chair and a bedstead in their cells, as
we'll as religious and other periodicals,
and where chewing is difficult, owing
to loss of teeth, minced meat and Deei
tea are included in the dietary.

Willow Switches Given Away.

The small boy whose father has
time to apply the switch should be-
ware with a little more than his usual
caution. The United States govern
ment is giving away willow switches.
The department Of agriculture has
an experiment farm at Arlington, Va,
and some parts of it were found to be
too wet for raising ordinary crops.
Therefore the experts set willows out
in the wet places. and there has been
so smart a growth that the govern
ment wants to get rid Of the willow
switches. 1t offers to give them away
under the guise OF willow cuttings to
make baskets or bottom chairs, but nc
smart boy will ever be deceived by
that kind of talk. He may be safe only
in the assurance of the government
that only one hundred of the cuttings
will be given to one person.-Worces

Other advantages in apiculture,
aside from the profits, are the health
fulness of the outdoor work, the recre-
ative value due to the absorbing in
teTest of working with the bees, the
interval of four tc six months In the
year when one can pack away the
problems to hibernate when one can
loosen her tether and find new spheres
l.. which to refresh mind and spirit In
the already ,freshed body. To eluci-
date this last point, work with the
bees calls one outdoors only in the nice
weather, in the pleasanter seven or
eight months of the year; when bad
winter months approach the bees are
packed away until spring. One is more
likely to appre late this feature when,
like the writer, she has tended pouE
