ABOUT INDIGESTION.

Behind indigestion and dyspepsia lie
various causes which will not yield to
drugs alone. Very often the mode of
life is at-the foundation of these ills.
which cause many durable defects, such
as poor compilations, falling hair.
headaches, ugly finger nails and lack
of energy.
The woman of sedentary habits who
has indigestion must have the right
sort of exercise. The woman who
lives in a vitiated atmosphere must be
taught how to breathe, and the wom-
an who does not masticate her food
because it gives her a toothache must
see a dentist, and the woman who is
paying the price of idleness and over
eating must be placed on diet.
Deep breathing in pure air is one of
| the surest cures of sallowness and will
restore appetite and digestion.
Correct bathing is all-important to
the dyspeptic. Time spent on this duty
is never wasted. If you are not &C
customed to cold bath. do not
shock your system by too drastic
trea tment, but start with your usual
warm bath. and each day lower the
temperature a trifle until you can en-
dure the cold plunge; often when the
plunge is too severe, even a delicate
woman can train herself to enjoy
quick cold sponge, using a sponge that
viii cover the surface rapidly, and
follow by brisk rubbing with a rough
towel When you have become accus-
toned to this wet skin bath, try the
lung bath and the dry friction bath
On rising. with your windows open
and. If possible, with the sun pouring
into one window at least, remove your
clothing and trot briskly around the
room or do few exercises to keep the
circulation up This permits the pure
air to penetrate the pores of the skin.
The old Greek athletes knew the value
of the air bath, and never neglected it.
The friction bath consists of brushing
the entire body with a flesh brush. first
using a very soft bristle and gradually
increasing the toughness of the bristle
This friction bath may be taken Just
after your morning exercises or before
bathing in water.
These baths all tend to open the pores
and allow certain impurities to leave
the system by these tiny but multitu-
dinous avenues of escape
The girl whose ailments of hair or
complexion can be traced to indiges
ton should eat more frequently than
her more fortunate sister. and she
should eat less at each meal In fact
she should avoid the regulation meal
entirely until she has started on the
road to recovery. II the indigestion is
living on a fare of milk, broth made
from meat, clans or chicken, with all

bread and crackers. II the milk, which
should be taken in quantities varying
from one to two wineglasses does not
digest easily. add few drops of lime

Large Summer Hats.

AS the season advances 1t is the gen
eral belief that hats of more appre-
cable size than the French sailor will
find acceptance at the hands of well
dressed women Advance models are

Even that used for the inexpensive
semi-trtmmed hats Is extraordinarily

been made to bring in the all-fower

seemed a chance that the fancy would
develop into something bif, more par
ticularly with the fashionable Brob-
dingnagian blooms. But apparently the
vogue did not seem to fit in with the
taste of the moment. or else the SUI
perior attractions of shapes effected in
silk, satin or straw, rather sparsely
trimmed, proved too much for the
older-time mode. Whatever the cause
though, as things have turned out, the
all-fower toque is not fad.

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH
WAYS TO SERVE BACON

When YOU first tasted the much
Wanted bacon of England. praised by
Dickens and Thackeray and every other
distinctively English writer. were you
disappointed? Was 1t served to you
white and soggy under an egg IN
little crockery dish? And had you ex-
pected something crisper and s"eeter
and browner and brittler than the
bacon served at home?
A good many persons have been DIS
appointed in the half-cooked bacon
that one usually gets in England.
Doubtless the English palate IS dls-
turbed by the crisp bacon We serve
and doubtless the English comment
dubs this bacon Overdone ana llaNo'
less Such is the habit or appetite.
But both English and American VIII
gree that bacon can be made or
marred in the cooking. And it is rather
odd that in most households bacon Is
served in one or at most two WAYS me

When bacon is to be served with
some fried dish, the bacon should ne

Another method OF cooking. bacon to

effected by dropping 1t into hot. deep

ordinary fork is quite likely TO break

everything else, can become soaked
with fat to such an extent that it is
unpalatable and indigestible.
