ENGLISH BEAUTY CUP.
Weak Tea Invites Sleep ard Innpre~-
the Complexion.


/ advise those who consult ms
upon the tired complexion to in
dulge in what is called the Bnglisf
beauty cup. Mr.. Gladstone took il
each night Of his life as long as h,
had health, and it is the cup which
keeps many an English beauty GO
ing. 1t is simply tea, but tea made
without the nerve destroying at
tributes. If properly made it in
vites sleep.
You take half a small coffel
spoon of tea, and you scatter it ir
the bottom of a very large cup
The German coffee cups ae best
for this purpose. Over this yor
pour as much boiling, bubbling wa
ter as the cup will hold.
The saucer is placed on the toy
Of the cup in Chinese fashion. Now
comes the big wadded tea cozy
which must be thrown over all. II
is an oddly shaped coy, made to
cover cup and saucer. 1t stands To-
five minutes to steep.
Now comes the scientific part oi
the cup You take three very thin
slices of lemon, and you lay them
in big hot cup. On top of the
slices of lemon you place a big
maraschine, and then on top of al
you pour in the tea, putting il
through a straiher.
The result will be a fine, weak
hot, but healthful cup of tea with
just the right flavor of lemon. You
can have sugar if you want it, and
Gladstone's rule of three big Jumps
will do yeu no harm, for sugar il q
great builder ap of the muscles.
By the way,'if you are tagged ont
day or night, try eating a littls
sugar. A lump of sugar will re-
store the stomach and take away
that tired feeling. Sugar is recon-
mended to women whose cheeks are
hollow. 1t has way of building ur
tissue.
A big cup of tea at night is ex-
cellsnt, but the trouble is that most
persons make it too strong. The
weaker the better. The same II true
Of coffee, which, if taken weak
enough and with plenty os good
sugar, acts as nightcap. Not one
person in a thousand can make il
right. In Paris the French beauty
takes her foaming cup Of whipped
chocolatS after the theater with a
biscuit, or she sips her esfe au lait,
which is mostly milk - LG,dor

RULES FOR CORRESPONDENTS.

Here are ten rules that we would
like for all of the correspondents of
the Progressive to familiarize them
selves with. They were prepared by
an experienced newspaper man. Cut
them out and keep them. Then try
to make your next letter to the Pro-
gressive conform with all of the
rules:
/. Do not abbreviate. Do not
write Mr.. & Mrs, but Mr.. and Mrs;
not Mon. or Sat. but Monday or
Saturday.
2. Leave space between items fer
corrections or additions.
3. Give both initials. Write C.
H. Brown instead Of Mr.. Brown or
Mr.. C. Brown.
Write important subjects fully.
Do not diIniss the death Of a well
known pioneer in half dozen words,
but write something of interest con-
corning him. If suicide or murder
give all the details you can get.
5. Have verbs agree with sub
jects. Don't say Mr.. and Mrs. B.
was, but Mr. and Mrs. B. We're. Mr..
and Mrs. B. may be one scripturally.
But they are two dramatically.
6. Don't use nicknames. Use
games Brown instead of Jim Brown,
Edward instead of Ed.
7. Give the time in an item. Mr..
Brown was in Lansing, the house
burned down, are incomplete. Tell
when things happened.
s. Divide words correctly. Don't
divide such words as enough, e.
nough.
I. Don't send articles rejecting
upon character of individuals or
firms. The newspaper is not look
ing for libel suits; neither does it
care to right your personal wrongs.
10. Write your name and town at
top OF page Last but most impor-
tant rule of al. It is most essential
that the newspaper know from whom
the news is received and from what
place.
Important suggestion, though not
a rule; Carefully look over your
news after it IS published and note
what changes had to be made.
While the ten rules given above
are important as relating to written
news, yet there is one rule super
sedes them all-Telephone really i'm
portant news at once.
