Human Life Needs Beauty.

Men cannot live by bread alone. The mind cannot develop on n excluSiVeiS scientific diet. If we sat on our spin- ming globe and studied only the phys ical laws that keep it going we should become either lunatics or ma chimes.

A woman g fondest hope is to stay
young. She often resorts to paints,
powders and cosmetics to hide her
years. Some women pay large sums to
so-called "Bcauty Doetors'' in the be-
lief that money will buy youth. Others
wear girlish dresses, thinking they can
fool the world about their age. But
no one is deceived. The more you try
to hide your age, the more it shows.
There is but one thing that holds old
age back, and that is health. Sickness
and weakness bring old age early in
life. DR.. Pierce's Fav0rite Prescrip-
ton is q building-up medicine for
women. 1t makes them healthy and
strong when they suffer from women q
troubles. 1t keeps them looking young
by keeping them well. 1t is a woman 3
tonic for the frail, the delicate and
those who are nervous, dizzy and who
have bachacho and dragging. pains.
Favorite Prescription is altogether
vegetable and without particle Of
alcohol. It is safe to take. Try it

druggists. or send Zoe for trial package

Voices in the Air

Due to the popularity and the rapid de-
velopment of the wireless telephone a
man in Washington may have frequent
occasion to wonder if "spooks" are around.
The colored crew of little river schooner
on the Potomac recently heard the greeting
"Hello, Bill" very plainly when there was
no visible speaker. In the mad scramble
that followed, one of the men fell into the
river. Such words are constantly going
through the air, for the government has
a number of wireless telephone stations in
operation. The instrument has been in
use for more than two years at the Bureau
of Standards, where constant improve
ments are being made on it. Airplanes
high in the air have no trouble in COM
municating with persons on the ground.
1t has been found that the wireless tele-
graph stations can pick up these telephone
messages as we'll as their own.-Exchange.

Florida as a World of Gayety

More than ever the waters of Florida
are becoming the centre of worldwide
collections of wealthy people. There are
more boats than ever in the Florida wa
tiers, where fish and game abound. The
new Households, as well as the better
equipped yachts are offered an unlimited
cruising field by inland waterways to the
southwark. From New York they may
go by canal to the Delaware river, and
thence by canal and river to Chesapeake
Bay for the duck shooting in October and
November. Thence the Dismal Swamp
canal tempts the voyager onward to the
Carolinas as the weather grows colder.
The cruise from Jacksonville to Miami is
especially beautiful and from Miami one
may go to Lake Worth and Palm Beach.
From the middle West the Mississippi Of
fers a route of many allurements. By
water all roads lead to Florida shores
and to a lavish outlay of money, for the
high cost of living is made pretext for
the most exorbitant charges.-Exchange.

Capital City Grows

The population of the District of Col
umbia according to the new census is 49,
414. In 1910 it was $4,000, growth of
50 per cent having been made in 10 years.
From the rank of 10th city in size 10
years ago Washington has advanced to a
place within the first 10. This rapid
growth is largely due to the war and the
consequent employment of large numbers
of war workers at the capital. The figure
does not include the total population, for
it leaves out of the count members of
congress and the diplomatic corps and all
transients. The first census of Washing
ton was taken in 1900, when the popula-
ton was found to be 1908. There was
rivalry between Washington and Gin
-einnati as to which city would be first
with its census report. Cincinnati was
two days ahead with report showing its
population to be 401, 158,a gain of 1913 pei
cent over 1910. The populations of other
cities are to be rapidly made public, fol-
lowed by the populations of the counties
of which there are about 5000 in thu
United States.-Exehange.
