Wisely ruled the New York judge who declared that a woman was not mentally unsound because she sang love songs at the age of eighty.

Eighty years in looking backward are not many, and easy it is to pick up the thread of the songful past. Then again, who can sing without singing of love, for isn't love admittedly mu- sics greatest inspiration?

Gives Beauty Advice.

Girls, young ladies and misses, It's
no use to spend your coin on rouge
and powder to make yourself look
beautiful 1t will not improve your
looks. And if you insist upon wearing
small tight shoes with high heels, you
can depend upon it that they will
bring hard, drawn lines in your face.
Another menace to beauty is a four
pound skypiece on your belfry. This
is all according to DR.. Ida c. Nahm,
who makes a sweeping denunciation
of these things. If you want to retain
your youthful beauty for ever and
ever, follow these dictates, says the
doctoress: Plenty of soap and warm
water, lots of outdoor exercise, espe-
cially walking, and drink two quarts
of water every day. These will insure
health, red cheeks and slim, youth
full figure. Doctor Nahm recommends
the water cure and walks especially
for ladies with too much embonpoint.
She says it's the safest, surest and
quickest way to reduce.
