LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Care of Eyes
BY BLANCHE BEACON

If there is anything that the woman of today abuses more than her teeth, it is her long suffering eyes.
 Your eyes ought to have just as care full and conscientious a course of treatment as you devote to your skin or hands. The so-called mirrors of the souI' are apt to become clouded and dusty, like any other mirror.
 Physicians say we are developing into a race of squinters. Fast travel ing, the effect of fast travelling upon the roads. (causing a superabundance of dust and sharp particles), and the fact that Dame Fashion advocates hats with small brirns, prec1udes all possibility of protection from that source.
 Every night an eye-cup should be thoroughly used. Use a twenty per cent. solution of boracic acid to wash the eyebau. Keep your eye-cup for

No wonder the captain wiped his forehead In utter bewiIderment.

 When your eyes are hot and tired, try saturating a towel with boiling hot water and witch hazel, equal parts and holding it over the eyes.
 Consult reliable occuist often. Sometimes your eyes are being strain ed and you are unaware of it. few weeks of glasses may cure what later can be only helped. Excessive vanity is the cause of most eye trouble
 Be considerate of your eyes. Do not use be11adonna, or bead your lash es The former is fatal to your eyes sooner or later, and the latter ruins your Iashes, and besides, there is all ways the danger of some of the grease paint getting in your eyes and causing temporary paralysis of the optic nerve

Keep the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. No
body can be too careful to keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite or to get tired easily, the
least imprudence brings on sickness,
weakness or debility. The system
needs tonic, Graves it and should not
be denied it; and the best tonic of
which we have any knowledge is
Hoods SarsapArilla. What this
medicine has done in keeping healthy
people healthy, in keeping up the
even balance of health, gives 1t the
same distinction as preventive that
it enjoys as cure. It's early use has
illustrated the wisdom of the old say
ing that stitch in time saves nine.
Take Hoods for appetite, strength
and endurance Advertisement.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There only one way to cure deafnes S,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the
EusGachlan Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have Iumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely clos ed, Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
ale caused by Catarrh, which is no
thing but an infiamed condition Of

Where The Best Stories Go.

The fiction writer is having3s his in
ming these days. Good short stories
are commanding prices that range
from SIS to $3.50 apiece, according to
the fame of the author, while the de-
mand grows keener every year. 1t is
an expensive thing to publish high
class magazine nowadays, filled with
the work of the most famous authors
aud artists. Yet it is exactly such
magazine that The Chicago Record
Herald furnishes as a regular part of
the state issue.
The Sunday Magazine of The Record
Herald is a real magazine, beautifully
illustrated by the foremost artists of
the day and filled with the best stories,
articles and serial novels that money
can buy. By clever stroke of enter
prise last year it secured steady
stream of the finest short stories ap-
pearing in print. We refer to It's
$4,000 prize contest. This unique
contest brought to the Sunday Maya
zine of The Record Herald scores OF
the choicest stories from such writers
as Conan Doyle, Jack London, Rex
Beach, Roy Norton, Amelie Rives,
Lloyd Osbourne, Wallace Irwin, Owen
Johnson, Jacques futrelle, Cyrus
Townsend Brady, Richard LIE Gal

long list of noted names. Many o.
these authors continue to be contrib

ploye of the Northwestern railroad,
was run over by southbound train
at Waunakee Saturday and horribly
mangled. His remains were discover
ed some time later and from the con-
dition it is supposed Hoffman had
been drinking heavily aud had lain

been instantaneous. Hoffman was
about SO years old. His home is at
WATERFOWL. He had been employed
by the North western and lived in
boarding cars near Waunakee. 1t
is supposed that he was attempting to
make his way home when he laid on

Dakota. preached at the Cengrega
tlonal church on Sunday and Sc i'm
pressed were the members that they
extended call to fill the vacancy left
by Rev. l.. A. Go lizard some weeks
ago. Rev. Watson came to Baraboo
to visit at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

sided in South Dakota and attended
the church where Rev. Watson was
pastor. He was asked to conduct the
services on Sunday, followed by an
invitation to remain. He cannot give

Married, wedding trip, broke, for
gerry and back 10 papa. That was the
story in outline of one weeks expert
ence of M. L. Bishop who operated a
pictureshow at Wyocena, says the Port
age Democrat. Bishop, accompanied
by his bride and mother-in-law went
from Wyocena to Rio and while the
ladies were shopping Bishop was busy
iguring-fgu1ing how he could raise
enough money to pay the bills. This
is the trick he turned. He called at
the first National Bank, said his name
was j. Z. Wheeler, claimed he, had
money in Columbus bank and
wanted to know how he could get 500
at once. Bishop was told to telegraph
to Columbus which he did not. In
stead he wrote out fake telegram at
the telegraph office and drew the
money at the bank. The bank soon
learned no telegram had been sent and
trailed the fellow to the home of his
mother.in-law where he confessed and
turned over the sheckles. the bank
granted mercy and no arrest followed.
